SCENE 2
PROMONTORY - EIGHTEEN YEARS LATER
MOSES and RAMSES, now two young men, sit in their chariots on a promontory overlooking the desert and the outskirts of the city of Thebes.
MOSESSo... we race our chariots straight down the edge of the cliff into town. Good luck keeping up with me, brother.
RAMSES(looking down nervously)
Uh, Moses... isn’t the path down the cliff pretty... steep?
MOSESSure is. So don’t go off the edge. It’s a long way down. So let’s see, then we go around the marketplace...
RAMSES(gaining confidence)
It’s faster to go through the center! Of course, I’ll be way ahead of you by then!
MOSESAll right, Ramses, through the center of the marketplace - and around the Temple of Horus.
RAMSES(aghast)
But the High Priest will be there!
MOSESThat’s the best part - can you imagine the look on Hotep’s face? Of course, if you’re too scared to race...
RAMSESFirst through the royal gate wins!
Prince of Egypt 9-29-17 5.
MOSESAll right, on the word “dust.”
RAMSES(confused)
Dust?
MOSESAs in “eat... my... DUST!
(MOSES lashes his horses with his whip on “dust” and races off. RAMSES whips his horse and is off as well. They race side by side, as the sights along their route flash past.)
MOSES AND RAMSESWHEELS OF THE CHARIOT SPINNINGBARRELING DOWN FROM THE LEDGEWE KNOW THE BEST WAY OF WINNINGIS KEEPING CLOSE TO THE EDGEWHOA! - OBSTACLES COMING SO QUICKLYYOU ALWAYS ARE NARROWLY SKIRTING DISASTERTHERE'S ONLY ONE THING THAT'S BETTER THAN GOING SO FAST -AND THAT'S GOING FASTER!
RAMSESCOME ON, YOU FOOLSYOU'RE HORSES, NOT MULES!YOU'VE GOT TO GO EVEN FASTER!
(They race on into the MARKETPLACE)
MOSES AND RAMSESTHUNDERING INTO THE MARKETON A MAGNIFICENT STEED
Prince of Egypt 9-29-17 6.
SINCE THERE IS NOWHERE TO PARK ITMIGHT AS WELL PICK UP SOME SPEED
RAMSESWATCHING MY BACKSIDE GET FURTHER IN FRONTOUGHT TO PROVE TO YOU I'M YOUR MASTER!
MOSESI WOULD GIVE UP AND ADMIT YOU'RE IMPRESSIVELY FAST -EXCEPT THAT I’M FASTER!
(There’s the SOUND OF NUMEROUS CRASHES from behind them. RAMSES looks back.)
RAMSESSo much for the marketplace! It’s in ruins!
MOSESNext target -- the temple!
RAMSESMaybe we’ll be lucky and Hotep won’t be there.
MOSESI’m counting on him being there!
MOSES AND RAMSESWE'VE GOT NO EXCUSEBUT WHY WORRY, SINCETHERE IS A RACE TO BE RUN?AFTER ALL, WHAT IS THE USEOF BEING A PRINCE -
MOSESIF YOU CAN'T HAVE A LITTLE FUN!?
RAMSESThat’s right!
MOSES AND RAMSESWHY NOT HAVE A LITTLE FUN!?
(A short distance in front of them, HIGH PRIEST HOTEP and his PRIESTS are conducting a solemn ritual. A clay figure of HORUS stands on an altar. HOTEP wraps a cloth around the figure.)
Prince of Egypt 9-29-17 7.
RAMSESMoses?
(MOSES leaps onto the marble block and seizes the GUARD’s whip as he raises it for another blow. The startled GUARD turns and sees MOSES looming over him.
MOSESDo you dare to disobey me?
(He raises his hand to strike the GUARD. The GUARD cowers and loses his balance. Screaming, the GUARD falls backwards, toppling off the marble block and crashing onto the stone below. AARON rushes to the limp, still body.)
AARONHe’s dead!
(Everyone freezes, uncertain how to react to an Egyptian prince killing a guard. Then MOSES runs off.)
SCENE 12
THE EDGE OF THE DESERT
MOSES has run to the edge of the temple complex. The desert stretches before him to the horizon. He stops exhausted, hands on knees. RAMSES runs towards him from the construction site.
RAMSESMoses! What are you doing?
MOSESI killed that man. I committed murder.
RAMSESIt was an accident! I saw it. The man fell.
MOSESI’m responsible. Either I leave or I must be put to death.
Prince of Egypt 9-29-17 39.
RAMSESDon’t be ridiculous. He was just a guard, one step above a slave. Someone so far down the pyramid of ma’at, we can’t even see him! A prince of Egypt can’t be punished for --
MOSESBut I’m not a prince of Egypt.
RAMSESWhat are you talking about?
MOSESThere’s no royal blood in my veins. I was born a... a Hebrew. A slave.
(RAMSES laughs.)
MOSES (CONT’D)Ask Father and Mother if you don’t believe me. I’m a Hebrew!
(RAMSES recoils, as he reacts.)
RAMSES(in a low voice)
If that’s true, no one must ever know that.
MOSESI can’t keep it secret.
RAMSESOf course you can. We can. You’ve had a shock. You’re not thinking straight. Come back with me now.
MOSESI can’t run away from the truth.
(He pulls his arm free from RAMSES’ grasp.)
RAMSESYou’re running away right now! Listen to me -- I am the son of Egypt - the morning and the evening star. If I say day is night, it will be written. And I say you are innocent. I say you are my brother.
MOSESI can’t stay where I don’t belong.
Prince of Egypt 9-29-17 40.
(NEFERTARI looks to RAMSES.)
RAMSESSeti the Second.
HOTEPIn the name of Amun-Ra the Father, Horus the Son of Isis, and Kneph the Spirit of the River Nile, I name you Seti the Second, heir to the throne of the living god Pharaoh Ramses.
(He scatters water from another bowl over the BABY's head.)
PRIESTS AND ATTENDEESMIGHTY PHARAOH RAMSESQUEEN NEFERTARISETI THE SECONDLIFE! HEALTH! STRENGTH!LIFE! HEALTH --
(As the MAID carries the baby out of the room, a commotion erupts from the back of the room, as GUARDS shout at unseen intruders.)
GUARDS(ad lib)
Stand back! This is a royal celebration! You cannot enter! Halt! Stop him!
(MOSES bursts into the throne room, followed by TZIPPORAH.)
MOSESI’m here to see my father, the Pharaoh.
(RAMSES stands up and crosses to the edge of the royal platform.)
RAMSESWhat is this? There are no strangers allowed in the throne room!
(MOSES steps forward, flanked by nervous GUARDS. TZIPPORAH follows, a short distance behind.)
MOSESBut I’m not a stranger.
(RAMSES rises, gazing in disbelief at MOSES.)
Prince of Egypt 9-29-17 71.
RAMSESIt can’t be... Everyone said you must be dead. Moses!
(RAMSES bolts from the throne and runs to MOSES. They embrace.)
MOSESRamses. It’s been so long. And ... you were sitting on the throne.
RAMSESI am Pharaoh now.
MOSESThen Father...
(RAMSES nods.)
MOSES (CONT’D)And Mother?
RAMSESShe... She’s... different than when you left, Moses. She rarely leaves her chambers. She never really recovered from Father’s death.
(MOSES is silent for a moment. RAMSES notices TZIPPORAH.)
RAMSES (CONT’D)Isn’t this the Midian girl who escaped? You brought her back for me, just as you said you would! Unbelievable! You kept your promise!
TZIPPORAH(icily, to MOSES)
What promise?
MOSES(to TZIPPORAH)
It was a long time ago.(to RAMSES)
Ramses, Tzipporah is my wife.
HOTEPExcuse me, Your Majesty, I am compelled to remind you Pharaoh Seti banished Moses from Egypt for life.
MOSESHotep, you’re still here.
Prince of Egypt 9-29-17 72.
HOTEPI will always be here, serving the gods. You, on the other hand, will soon be gone.
RAMSES(erupts with fury)
This is my brother! He’s come back from the dead, and I am going to welcome him back into my family.
NEFERTARIRamses, you can’t! He pretended to be a member of your family, then ran off after killing an overseer and married a slave!
TZIPPORAHI was never a slave! In fact, I’m more of a princess than you are.
NEFERTARI(burning)
I’m descended from five generations of Pharaohs!
RAMSESNefertari, I think...
TZIPPORAHThere are ten generations of high priests in my family!
MOSESThere’s no reason....
NEFERTARIHow dare a desert savage speak to...
(TUYA, leaning heavily on a SERVANT’s arm, walks slowly and painfully into the throne room.)
TUYAIs it true? Has my Moses come back?
MOSES(uncertain at first)
Mother? ... Mother!
(HE runs to TUYA and embraces her.)
Prince of Egypt 9-29-17 73.
AARONLook, there’s your brother the Pharaoh floating down the Nile!
(He points to the royal barge floating down on the Nile, with RAMSES and the other royals on board.)
AARON (CONT’D)Go join your family on the royal barge!
HEBREWSYOU’RE NOT ONE OF US!
SCENE 25
THE BANKS OF THE NILE
MOSES runs towards the bank of the river.
MOSESRamses!
TZIPPORAHMoses, no! Why are you doing this? Ramses broke your deal. We’re free to go!
MOSESNo, I’m not. I’m one of them, whether they accept me as one of them or not. I’m going to fight for them.
(calls out to the barge)Ramses! Is it true? Did you go back on your promise to me?
HOTEPThe Pharaoh does not give promises.
NEFERTARIHow dare a subject talk to his king like that!
MOSESYou’ve broken your word. Why did you do this to me?
(RAMSES rises up in anger.)
RAMSESTo you? I’m not the one who ran away, leaving his father to die in mourning for a lost son. I’m not the one who left his brother alone, thinking you were dead. I’m not the one who turned his back on the family who rescued him from a life of squalor. A family who loved him like one of their own. Why did you do this to me?
Prince of Egypt 9-29-17 83.
MOSESThis isn’t about you, Ramses.
RAMSESEverything is about me! I am Pharaoh! Guards, seize him!
(GUARDS leap off the barge and start trudging through the shallow waters towards MOSES. The HEBREWS have noticed the commotion and approach the river.)
MIRIAMMoses, run!
AARONMiriam, keep out of this. We’ll all be in trouble because of this mad man.
(The GUARDS reach MOSES and grab him. TZIPPORAH starts running towards MOSES.)
TZIPPORAHTake your hands off of my husband!
MOSESYou’ll regret this decision, Ramses! I won’t forgive you for this!
(MOSES plants his staff into the water to anchor himself against the GUARDS. The water turns red around the staff. Rapidly the red spreads, until the entire Nile has turned to the color of blood. The GUARD stops, paralyzed with fear. Everyone freezes in their tracks, disbelieving. MIRIAM puts her finger into the water and tastes it.)
MIRIAMIt’s blood!
GUARD 1Blood! The river has turned to blood!
(The GUARDS start to beat a frenzied retreat.)
RAMSESGuards, go back!
Prince of Egypt 9-29-17 84.
