Quote context

[...]

- From the time my sister brought you to the court, I loved you, reared you, set you before my own son because I saw in you a worth and a greatness above other men.

- No son could have more love for you than I.

- Then why are you forcing me to destroy you?

- What evil has done this to you?

- The evil that men should turn their brothers into beasts of burden, to slave and suffer in dumb anguish, to be stripped of spirit and hope and faith, only because they're of another race, another creed.

- If there is a God, he did not mean this to be so.

- What I have done, I was compelled to do.

- So be it. What I do now, I am compelled to do.

- No! No!

- Ramses, Egypt shall be yours.
