Joseph (1995)

Valeria Cavalli: Asenath

Quotes 

• Pharaoh's Wife : [whispers]  He is a beautiful boy.

  Asenath : Yes, he is.

  Pharaoh's Wife : Do you know what his crime was?

  Asenath : I've heard the rumors but I don't believe them. He doesn't strike me as a fool. And everyone knows that Potiphar's wife deceives him.

• Pharaoh's Wife : Asaneth on the other hand...

  Pharaoh : Yes, let me guess. She's so taken with this foreign slave. Oh yes, nothing escape's Pharaoh's eye when it comes to a woman.

  [Paces and looks at Asaneth] 

  Pharaoh : She thinks he has the answer.

  Asenath : By your own word lord, we know he does nothing against his conscience - even on pain of death. And you yourself seemed reluctant to have him hanged. There must have been a reason why you withheld your mighty hand and spared him to see another day.

• Joseph : What is your name?

  Asenath : I am Asenath, daughter of the high priest of On.

  Joseph : What is my name, my new name? I have forgotten it already.

  Asenath : Zapaneth Paneah.

  Joseph : Zapaneth Paneah. What does it mean?

  Asenath : The savior. Am I pleasing to you?

  Joseph : Yes, greatly.
