Joseph - King of Dreams Page #3

Synopsis: When Joseph receives a beautiful coat from his parents, his eleven brothers hate him even more, and are driven to sell him to desert merchants, who take him to Egypt. There he is made the servant of a wealthy Egyptian who misunderstands him, and has him thrown into prison. He shows his God-given gift by interpreting the dreams of two other prisoners. Eventually, the Pharaoh begins to be plagued by dreams, and sends for Joseph, who interprets them and saves Egypt in the process. He is made second in command to Pharaoh, and has most of Egypt's grain stored. Eventually his brothers arrive in Egypt to buy food because of famine, and he must forgive them. Then the dreams that had angered his brothers, were in reality prophecies that had come from God.

Why do you defend them?

They're not even your sons.

They're no less my sons than you are.

We're family, all of us.

If we break apart,

we have nothing left.

# You've seen the damage words can do

# When full of thoughtless pride

# Now heed the wiser voice in you

# That calls to be your guide

# The flowers reaching for the sun

# Are all uniquely blessed

# But though each is special

# Not a one is better

# Than the rest

# Bloom, bloom, may you know

# The wisdom only time breeds

# There's room, bloom and you'll grow

# To follow where your heart leads

# Bloom and may you bring

# Your colours to the vast bouquet

# There's room, bloom,

learn one thing

# Your gifts are meant to give away #

Thanks, Mom.

Judah! Simeon!

Levi! Reuben!

Where are you?

- (Judah) Joseph couldn't lead sheep.

- (Reuben) But he's our brother.

(Simeon) Half brother.

Judah should take over.

- But...

- Do you want Joseph in charge?

We agree that something

has to be done about Joseph?

- Absolutely.

- Yes.

- Hey! The spy is back!

- I wasn't spying!

- Did Father tell you to check on us?

- No!

- I want to...

- Report on us to Father?

- You're his favourite.

- N-no.

You look at scrolls all day

while we sweat.

Why is that? Is it because

we don't have pretty coats?

- I have mine.

- (Grunts) That's my coat!

Step aside.

I'm the new head of the family.

Bow before me,

you sheaves of wheat!

Oh, yes, Master Joseph,

ruler of the world.

Give it back, now!

If you want your coat,

why don't you go get it?

- Levi's got it.

- No, I don't. Judah does.

- Come on!

- I've got it!

(Screams)

(Laughing)

- I've had enough of this game!

- Joseph!

Who says this is a game?

What are you doing? Leave me alone!

No! Stop it!

(Gasps)

Oh! Ohh!

(Coughing)

What do we do now?

Are we just going to leave him there?

- We'll think of something.

- Somebody!

- Just get out of here.

- Maybe he can dream his way out.

Don't leave me here alone!

(Sighs)

(Wolf howling)

(Shivering)

Aah! Aah!

(Whoosh)

I knew you'd come back.

(Grunts)

You think this is funny?

Father won't be laughing when...

- Who are you?

- Get him.

Hey! Hey! What are you doing? Ow!

Let me go! You don't understand.

I'm from the house of Jacob!

- Scrawny, isn't he?

- It's hard to tell.

(Groans)

- Hmm.

- No, no, no, don't take my...

- (Groans)

- Get up!

- (Grunts)

- Looks like he's never worked a day.

- That'll change.

- (Laughing)

My brothers will come for me. Judah!

- Simeon! Levi! Please help me!

- Joseph!

We're right here.

(Sighs) Judah.

I told you they'd come for me.

As agreed, 20 pieces of silver.

J-Judah... Why...?

No! Help me!

Levi, please. Issachar.
