Joseph - King of Dreams Page #4

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.

Simeon. Stop them.

Judah. Judah, help me, please.

Please!

Judah, please!

Judah, we can't turn back now.

We've gone too far.

- Aah!

- Hut, hut!

- (Brays)

- (Chuckles)

I'm your brother!

I'm your brother!

Half-brother.

- (Slaver) Yah!

- (Saddle jingling)

(Wind whistling)

(Wolf howling)

(Slavers talking)

(Shivers)

(Gasps)

- Where could he have gone?

- Don't worry.

I'm sure he's all right.

The boys will find him.

(Judah) Father.

This is all we found.

(Gasps) Joseph!

- No! Joseph!

- Joseph!

(Gasping)

- Oh, Rachel.

- (Sobbing)

- (Grunts)

- Hey, wake up.

(Laughter)

# Behold the glory

behold the wonder

# What we have made

shall not be torn asunder

# Such vast achievement

stone and papyrus

# Beneath the gaze

of Isis and Osiris

# Land of majesty

# Where the heavens smile

# Jewel of history shining

# By the Nile #

- Exquisite, aren't they?

- Yes.

- Where's the slave market?

- By the docks.

(Camel brays)

# Serve and be silent

# You who are chattel

# We think of you

as little more than cattle

# This is your lot now

and we advise you

# To bow before

whatever master buys you

# Feel the power here

# Power has its price

# Some can live like gods

# Some must sacrifice... #

- What do you have?

- A Canaanite.

# Through the centuries

many backs have bent

# Many dreams are built

- # Many lives are spent #

- Move, slave!

Get in line.

(Trader) Slaves for sale!

Buy this one!

(Buyer) Let's have a look.

Let me see his teeth.

Hmm. Mm-hmm.

He's too skinny.

This is more like it.

The captain of the guard

needs a slave for his household.

I have one he might like.

Thirty pieces? Hmm.

He looks healthy enough.

Lord Potiphar!

- He'll do.

- Looks like we have some work to do.

# Look and be humbled

learn what your place is

# Egyptian slave

no matter what your race is

# This is your future

your life suspended

# And everything

you knew before has ended

# You are Egypt's now

# We have all control

# From your every step

# To your very soul #

- Hold still.

You're done. He's ready for work.

It's not for your face.

It's for the floor.

(Grunting)

Ow!

(Laughter)

- 'Hey, Joseph, you missed a spot.'

- (Laughing)

(Levi) 'Real work's different.'

- 'No more baby soft hands.'

- 'Who bows now, little brother? '

(Brothers laughing)

(Grunting)

- You there.

- (Laughter stops)

Have you cleaned

this entire courtyard yourself?

- Yes.

- (Woman) He's a hard worker.

Hmm.

We could put him

to better use inside?

My wife thinks you should work

for her. What do you say?

I cannot say.

A slave is not his own master.

Well said.

Find him some new clothes.

Then get someone else to finish.
