The Egyptian Page #3

Synopsis: In eighteenth-dynasty Egypt, Sinuhe, a poor orphan, becomes a brilliant physician and with his friend Horemheb is appointed to the service of the new Pharoah. Sinuhe's personal triumphs and tragedies are played against the larger canvas of the turbulent events of the 18th dynasty. As Sinuhe is drawn into court intrigues, and bizarre secrets are revealed to him, he learns the answers to the questions he has sought since his birth. Short on historical accuracy but strong on plot and characterization.

hundreds of women.

Nothing seemed so beautiful ...

so strange.

When I see your eyes,

I feel ...

What you feel, Sinuhe?

I feel the fever of Thebes

in my blood ...

and I know I was born to live

at sunset in the world ...

and that nothing matters to me ... nothing

except what I see in your eyes.

It's late, I ...

I must go.

If you leave excited by wine

and wild imaginings.

Problems will undoubtedly

with some astute woman.

Would you care?

No, just brought you here,

to show him the gate

the wall of my garden.

Later,

When my guests

have left ...

be here by my side

lotus pond.

Why do I say that?

Perhaps because much like

gifts ...

and the greatest gift that a man

can give a woman ...

is their innocence,

which he can give only once.

Wait.

Before I touch,

should give a warning.

Warning?

There is a reason for the Goddess of Love

take the form of a cat.

When I look at you do not want

know gods or cats.

Look, Sinuhe,

a cat's paws are soft ...

but hidden claws.

A cat takes pleasure in

torment his victim.

While the creature is not

almost dead ...

it does not show penalty

or will end sorrow.

What does this have to do

you and me?

Had very little experience ...

and I have to be who I am.

Get out now.

and never again by

gate my wall ...

or can repent

for life.

Do not even know your name.

In their foolishness ...

men gave me a

name that means "beautiful."

Nefer! Nefer!

Not my business,

where he spends his time.

If it is not your account.

Why are you so mad at me?

Get out.

There's a whole week

he tells me,

refer patients

for other physicians.

Even had to return the money,

consultations it.

This woman you

stole the mind.

You are crazy as a coyote ...

that round about the tombs

during drought.

And I'm as mad as him.

And I warn that against you!

So why come to me now?

There are worse things than marriage.

How could I be so silly,

and even dream about it?

He is a doctor of Pharaoh, and I ...

KapTa, what can I do?

It offers more

what it can offer.

Go away, his son

a one-eyed baboon!

Out!

Out!

Why are you waiting for, Sinuhe?

I told you that tonight

I am committed?

I must entertain a

merchant in Syria.

If he touches you, I

the bush.

Only boys

fools talk that way.

I must confess, Sinuhe ...

I find you attractive ...

very attractive.

Not like the others.

It is young, strong

and innocent.

But unfortunately

I have to protect myself.

Women like me

living alone ...

can not afford

to fall into weakness ...

Or end their days

begging on the streets.

I offer my protection

as you live.

Men have told me that

so many times ...

in so many languages!

Listen, Sinuhe,

I live in Egypt

why can not more

return to Babylon.

When I was 12 I

sold as a slave ...

and passed a love for others.

Is there any difference

with your life now?

A big difference.

Because now no

man is my master.

The Syrian merchant

dine with me tonight ...

Give me a ruby

belonged to a queen.

But give a gift

I received the Pharaoh is a sacrilege.

I'm not asking for anything.

I just want to understand me.

Must go now.

My guest will be

here in a minute.

Send him away.

I told you I can not.

Send him away!

You are hurting me.

I gave you the only thing

value I have.

It was not what you wanted?

Since men are deceivers,

And you're like the rest.

Not so poor

as it pretends to be, Sinuhe.

He has a house ..

and many instruments

Copper excellent.

If you give to me ... promise?

Do not promise anything.

If you want to give me a gift,

then give.

But do not ask me anything

I do not like him

I ask nothing.

I'm a bad girl, Sinuhe

From the beginning I warned you.

Keep your home and

their instruments,

and exit.

Your Highness shoots well

for a woman.

Children play.

I see a promotion.

Why not?

A real soldier here,

is like a hawk

among sparrows.

I want to talk,

come here!

I can say that much

his dream of a word?

Let's not talk of their dreams.

I want to talk about

his friend the doctor.

Why are you so interested in him?

My brother has

he asked.

Not yet

presented to the Court.

Sinuhe left town.

He went to Memphis, I think.

Is expected to win new deals

do not lie to me.

I love my friend

to lie for him ...

even for a royal princess.

Whatever?

I want it saved

this creature,

it stole my mind.

It is fcil.Ela of Babylon.

Expel it or kill it.

He was going after her ...

or weep over his grave ...

the rest of life.

No. He must be convinced

that she is worthless.

And how do you expect to achieve this?

Letting you discover that

she betrayed him,

with his best friend.

You should not think this is difficult.

Such a woman likes

being attacked,

as a fort.

Your Highness, flatter me.

I measured in the same way ...

you evaluate.

Give me the bracelet.

Whether a reward,

to help his friend

that both estimates?

I want to give to the Babylonians.

Are you afraid that your

virility is not enough?

She did not.

My friends are watching us.

They think they're giving me

an honor.

Let them think what they want.

One day will undress her

arms of honors for me ...

his ankles and his neck.

Reserve your passions

to the Babylonian.

She will appreciate more than me.

Open up, let me enter.

This afternoon, I have orders

not to let anyone inside.

Thy love is waiting for me,

I received a message from her.

Those are my orders.

Horemheb!

Horemheb!

Open up, let me in!

Horemheb!

Nefer, let me in!

You should go.

He knows he is here.

I do not care about you?

I had no

message for him to come tonight.

I took the liberty of

have one in your name.

Cares?

So that's it.

Go away.

Stupid fool!

'll Kill you!

You are crazy!

Listen, idiot.

Our friendship has brought me here.

Do not see what it is?

The only reason I have come here,

was to prove it.

Never call me friend again.

Go away.

Very good.

You deserve everything

what it receives.

You can go too.

This is my home, not a tavern.

Nefer, wait.

Look here.

Brought what I asked ...

The deed of my house

my instruments.

I never asked you this rubbish!

It's all I have ...

and it is totally rubbish.

The house is small but is

perfect for the use of a doctor.

The instruments are the best.

Worth as much as precious stones.

Ready ...

Now, you have everything

what was mine.

Please Sinuhe.

I'm tired.

Always has an excuse,

Nefer, I ...

Wait.

Since we will not listen

my warnings ...

Compels me to treat you

as my other friends.

What most want from me?

Because you disobeyed Pharaoh

disgraced my family,

impoverishment ...

And yet lie to me.

Lying?

How ...?

Why not tell me ...

that his father has a beautiful

seaside home?

I can not give what is not mine.

Or that he built for

his wife and himself,

a beautiful tomb in

City of the Dead?

're Asking me to steal

immortality of my parents ...

and let their bodies,

rot of nowhere ...

As the carcasses,

slaves and animals?

I ask nothing.

But if you only do it for me ...
