Meredith Henderson: Cleo Bellows

Quotes 

• Alex Bellows : [still winging an impromptu speech as Osiris]  This was one small step for a god, and one giant step for Egyptian-kind!

  Cleo Bellows : What did I say? You're a hit!

  Alex Bellows : [to the crowd]  I'm the king of the world, huh?

• Alex Bellows : How do they do that?

  Cleo Bellows : Oh, trained from birth.

  Isis : Chosen from heaven.

  Cleo Bellows : Or that.

• Cleo Bellows : That's the goddess Isis. She's Osiris's wife.

  Alex Bellows : I could like that.

  Cleo Bellows : [as Alex and Isis kiss]  She's also his sister.

  Alex Bellows : [a little repelled]  Mmm! Okay.

  Cleo Bellows : Well, it's not that weird. Lots of royalty does it, you know, trying to keep the bloodlines pure. Uh, Egyptian gods, the Greek gods, Hapsburg princes. They all did it.

  Alex Bellows : Yeah. It's just a little creepy.

  Cleo Bellows : Well, I'm not arguing that point.

• Philthy : Look, uh, I think I know what's going on.

  Cleo Bellows : You do? No, you... probably don't.

  Philthy : Look, I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer but, um, I can read people pretty well. I know Alex doesn't want me around anymore, but, uh, that's cool. He's just too nice to say, that's all.

• Cleo Bellows : Well, according to some versions of the myth, Orisis was actually Anubis's father.

  Alex Bellows : Oh, man. Don't tell me Nephthys is my sister, too.

• Cleo Bellows : Look, just be careful of Set, okay? He really has it in for Osiris.

  Alex Bellows : Yeah, well, if Osiris is having babies with his wife, I don't blame him. Who needs that kind of soap opera?

  Cleo Bellows : He's always been jealous of you. I mean, it's not just about Anubis. He hates everything you do.

  Alex Bellows : Are we talking Jan and Marcia Brady jealous or Cain and Abel?

• Cleo Bellows : Oh, no...

  Alex Bellows : Okay, can we just make a rule right now: whoever stays in the study does not say "Oh, no" in that tone of voice?

• Alex Bellows : [forced to give an impromptu speech as Osiris]  Friends, Egyptians, countrymen... uh... I... I have... a dream... that... my children...

  Alex Bellows : [to wife]  If I have any, right?

  [wife shakes he head] 

  Alex Bellows : ...uh... uh... will one day live in an Egypt where they will be judged by the content of their character and not by the... by the funny-looking animals that they wear on their heads, huh? That's right.

  Cleo Bellows : [back in the study, enjoying his discomfort as the crowd cheers]  God, you suck.

  Alex Bellows : [under his breath through a forced smile]  Ah, just a little help here would be great.

  Cleo Bellows : No way. This is too good. I mean, don't worry about it. You're a god. They're gonna love you whatever you say.
