King of Kings - The Dangers of Power and Manipulation
Salome: [to John the Baptist; sarcastically]
Yes, we do live in a very wicked world. You frighten me, you angry man!
Herod Antipas:
Salome, come back!
Salome:
This beast amuses me. Make him dance! On a bed of hot coals.
Herodias:
It were better to cut his vicious tongue from its roots.
John the Baptist:
Woman, is not your cup of abominations full enough?
Herodias: [insulted]
How dare to say that to my face? Get down on your knees and beg my forgiveness!
John the Baptist:
You, woman? Who has given herself the captains of Assyria? To the young men of Egypt? Who has deserted her first husband's bed, to live in incestuous lust with his brother?
Salome: [feeling his skin]
Is there blood in your veins? Or poison?
