Esther and the King (1960)
Rik Battaglia: Simon
Quotes
-
Mordecai : [gives Simon food] Provisions. I will see that you are kept supplied until the men of Klydrathes abandon the hunt.
Simon : The hunt will never end.
Mordecai : Why do you say that?
Simon : Because I shan't rest until I take Esther out of bondage.
Mordecai : She is not enslaved. The King himself is her protector.
Simon : And he prepares her to be his concubine.
Mordecai : His queen. Hear me, Simon, I've spoken with Esther and I've seen what I believe to be a dawning of a sincere affection in her for the King. An affection which I don't denied I urged, because I could foresee in it the answer that may lead to the salvation of our people, not alone now but for the ages to come.
