The Egyptian Page #5

Synopsis: In eighteenth-dynasty Egypt, Sinuhe, a poor orphan, becomes a brilliant physician and with his friend Horemheb is appointed to the service of the new Pharoah. Sinuhe's personal triumphs and tragedies are played against the larger canvas of the turbulent events of the 18th dynasty. As Sinuhe is drawn into court intrigues, and bizarre secrets are revealed to him, he learns the answers to the questions he has sought since his birth. Short on historical accuracy but strong on plot and characterization.

every night.

I do not like being alone.

Baraka!

It is the symbol of the new Pharaoh!

This is it.

I must leave now.

Why?

Because the man bring you

rich gifts,

in exchange for a little smile.

And that's all I have.

Never asked for anything,

to no man.

But I ask you to stay!

I can not ...

Is it because we women

Babylon

we have a bad reputation?

Or because they think I'm ugly?

Think?

You're beautiful ...

Beyond any dream.

Such flattery is easy to do,

for a man who knew

hundreds of women.

Nothing seemed so beautiful ...

so strange.

When I see your eyes,

I feel ...

What you feel, Sinuhe?

I feel the fever of Thebes

in my blood ...

and I know I was born to live

at sunset in the world ...

and that nothing matters to me ... nothing

except what I see in your eyes.

It's late, I ...

I must go.

If you leave excited by wine

and wild imaginings.

Problems will undoubtedly

with some astute woman.

Would you care?

No, just brought you here,

to show him the gate

the wall of my garden.

Later,

When my guests

have left ...

be here by my side

lotus pond.

Why do I say that?

Perhaps because much like

gifts ...

and the greatest gift that a man

can give a woman ...

is their innocence,

which he can give only once.

Wait.

Before I touch,

should give a warning.

Warning?

There is a reason for the Goddess of Love

take the form of a cat.

When I look at you do not want

know gods or cats.

Look, Sinuhe,

a cat's paws are soft ...

but hidden claws.

A cat takes pleasure in

torment his victim.

While the creature is not

almost dead ...

it does not show penalty

or will end sorrow.

What does this have to do

you and me?

Had very little experience ...

and I have to be who I am.

Get out now.

and never again by

gate my wall ...

or can repent

for life.

Do not even know your name.

In their foolishness ...

men gave me a

name that means "beautiful."

Nefer! Nefer!

Not my business,

where he spends his time.

If it is not your account.

Why are you so mad at me?

Get out.

There's a whole week

he tells me,

refer patients

for other physicians.

Even had to return the money,

consultations it.

This woman you

stole the mind.

You are crazy as a coyote ...

that round about the tombs

during drought.

And I'm as mad as him.

And I warn that against you!

So why come to me now?

There are worse things than marriage.

How could I be so silly,

and even dream about it?

He is a doctor of Pharaoh, and I ...

KapTa, what can I do?

It offers more

what it can offer.

Go away, his son

a one-eyed baboon!

Out!

Out!

Why are you waiting for, Sinuhe?

I told you that tonight

I am committed?

I must entertain a

merchant in Syria.
