Samson and Delilah Page #3

or from the masters, huh?

Samson!

Samson, come quick!

The Philistines, they have Naomi.

Samson, please hurry.

Move away. Move.

Come on. Come on, quickly!

Come on, let's go.

Pig!

Your mother was a donkey.

And yours, a mule.

Hold her.

I have two swords here.

Impaling you with either

will give me great satisfaction.

Best be the iron one.

Save the other for your mother.

Israelite whore.

- Naomi, stay there. I'll help him.

- No, no.

Stay here.

Samson!

Get out!

Go!

Go!

You broke them!

Without a weapon, Samson broke them.

You have been chosen.

How can you doubt it?

Samson!

Without a weapon, Samson broke them.

Please, Manoah. Let us in.

At least talk to these people.

You know us all. There's nothing

that we don't give to this house.

I'm not letting any of you in here.

Go now.

- You hear me? I said, now.

- This is important.

Mara, you must speak to him.

We need him. A leader.

- Someone our people will stand with.

- I need him too.

- Mara, these are the...

- I know who they are.

- Carpenters, shepherds, plowmen.

- The leaders of our rebellion.

Rebellion. How many weapons

do you have? How many made of iron?

Mara, God's will brought us your son

to destroy the enemies of our people.

Manoah, you must speak to Samson.

- With his father's urging, he might...

- What am I to urge?

That he die before his time?

The son Mara and I prayed for

all our life.

- Manoah, listen to us.

- I've heard you.

Our son is the Lord's instrument.

And in the Lord's time, he will obey.

In God's good time. Not in yours.

You should have insisted.

- Why wouldn't he listen?

- I don't know, you were there.

You saw how...

Oh, Lord, tell me what to do.

Enslave him, Father.

Burn his village before the Israelites

rally to a new hero.

There is nothing to be gained

by burning an Israelite village.

- In a week, it will be old news.

- Legends grow, Father.

Ask your courtiers

what they have heard.

Single-handed, two patrols.

Some say 10.

Only an empty head

can be full of these tales.

And what do you think,

Commander Tariq?

I think all people need their heroes.

If they don't exist,

they must create them.

- You know what it means?

- What?

- His name, Samson.

- Tell me.

- "Son of the sun. "

- The son of the sun.

And your name.

Mine?

"Delilah, " it's an ancient word.

It means "desire. "

And do you think that appropriate,

commander?

In every way.

But the son of the sun.

I'd like to see this Samson for myself.

You're a loose woman, Delilah.

And if I weren't...

... I'd find that remark offensive,

general.

His hair is long.

He wears it in seven braids.

Some kind of religious significance.

Is there anything you don't know?
