Samson Page #3

size of an ox without strain.

The Hebrew god is in him.

- Within him?

- Yes.

What is he then?

Is he a half-god?

[laughs]

If gods were mortal,

he would be one.

- You forget whose kingdom you inhabit.

- Yes.

Our god Dagon is mighty.

Yes, he is.

Would you kindly

give us some privacy?

Sit.

This is not

Dagon's kingdom.

'Tis mine.

You must see gods

for what they are.

They are symbols.

They have no power.

To the common man, they

provide something bigger.

To us, they are

means of control.

I am Dagon.

You can be Dagon if you stomp out

this fire before it becomes a blaze.

- Yes, my king.

- [chuckles]

You may return!

- He will serve the crown or he will die.

- I'm sure he will.

How did I know

I'd find you here?

This is the best view

in all of Israel.

You should turn your eyes and

mind towards things that matter.

I am appreciating

God's creation.

What could possibly

be more important than that?

- Fulfilling your destiny? Becoming judge?

- No, there is no judge.

- You carry the anointing.

- But I'm not ready.

You're never ready.

What are you

smiling at?

I found her.

Oh, little brother,

now this is good news.

Her name is Taren.

She's in Gaza.

- And even worse, she's a servant a Rallah.

- I must relieve her of that.

- No, you must not.

- No, I must.

- And one more thing.

- What?

You must

not tell Mother.

[Samson]

Is everything all right?

Forgive me. I just...

Just what?

You enjoy spying on people?

No.

Not at all. I just had

to know who you were.

After seeing you at the

fight, my head was spinning.

Are you sure that was not

because of his punch?

[chuckles]

No.

The only reason he landed that punch

was because I was distracted.

By you.

They say that those who tangle with

you leave wishing they had not.

[bell rings]

The prince.

I must go.

Wait. Do you know

the cliffs by the beach?

Near the path

where Gaza meets the sea?

Yes.

They are beautiful.

[bell rings]

Meet me there tomorrow

at first light.

- Please?

- [laughs]

[man] How long must we wait for God

to deliver us from this oppression?

He has already revealed

his chosen one. It is Samson.

[man 2] Well, where is he then?

He should be here.

Samson does not want

to be judge.

It is better this way.

He is unfit to lead.

How can God choose a barbarian

that chases after a woman

like it is his birthright?

And may I add,

I'm grateful he has eyes for the

Philistine maidens and not our women.

At least there is a slight chance my own

sister will be safe from his advances.

Your sister would not

have her virtue

if not for the protection

given by my brother.

Would you have him remove it from you?
