Esther and the King (1960)

Rosalba Neri: Keresh

Quotes 

• Hegai : A plain white gown. Such simplicity! Was it your choice?

  Esther : Yes.

  Hegai : Indeed. One might think you have no desire to win a queen's crown. A most becoming modesty. It pleases me. An unassuming virtue that needs rewarding.

  [to the servants] 

  Hegai : Fetch me the cloak of gold!

  [to the maidens] 

  Hegai : You may rest, my little doves.

  [Hegai brings the golden cloak] 

  Esther : I am grateful, but I don't wish to be so favored.

  Keresh : I will accept it.

  Esther : Oh, yes. Yes, give it to her.

  Hegai : [to Keresh]  Speak only when you're spoken to!

  Keresh : Take care, eunuch! I have mighty friends.

  Hegai : In the brothels of the street of the soldiers, no doubt!

  [to Esther] 

  Hegai : Here, my child. I ask you to wear it. Please.
