• Messala : Egypt! Egypt! I would drown my soul in your eyes! Give me proof of your love!

  Iras : My heart is in the hollow of your hand, Messala. What more do you wish?

  Messala : You, flower of the Nile, will succeed where others have failed - - solve the mystery of Ilderim's driver.

• Iras : Flashing eyes and milk-white bodies! Beauty to be tamed! Does it not thrill you?

• Iras : Curiosity consumes me! Why do you race as the Unknown Jew?

• Iras : If you are as slow in the race tomorrow as you are in love today, Messala may drive snails and win!
