[last lines] Malak: What do you think of this?
Moses: [carving the stone tablets]I wouldn't do it if I didn't agree.

Hegep: Do you know what the problem is? People live too long these days. Every year the death rate lags further behind the birth rate. And these people, they reproduce like it's a sport.
Moses: This is the problem? A growing work force?
Hegep: Oh, no. No, of course not, it's good for production, of course it is. But only to a point. When that population wants you dead, yes, it's a problem. So either I'm given more troops to maintain order, or I start thinning out the herd.

Moses: It will.
Malak: I disagree. Something worse has to happen.
Moses: I disagree. Anything more would be...
Malak: Would be what? What were you about to say? Cruel? Inhumane?
Moses: It's not easy to see the people who I grew up with suffering this much.
Malak: What about the people you didn't grow up with? What thought did you give to them? You still don't think of them as yours, do you? As long as Rhamses has an army behind him, nothing will change.
Moses: Anything more is just revenge!
Malak: Revenge? After 400 years of brutal subjugation! These pharoahs, who imagine they're living gods, they are nothing more than flesh and blood! I want to see them on their knees begging for it to stop!
Moses: I'm tired of talking with a messenger!
Malak: General! I have heard Rhamses' final threat. So let me tell you what's going to happen next.
Moses: [after being told of God's plan to kill the firstborn of Egypt]No, no! You cannot do this! I want no part of this!
