One Night with the King (2006)

Hagai: [leading her to the Kings' chambers] Esther of Susa, come...Seat yourself on the stool and read the scroll. It is a chronicles of the King. The royal diary. Through these doors, you're longer candidate, you're a servant...remember the protocol: to approach uninvited is death.

Queen Esther: [nervous about her appearance; she enters, walks over to the stool, sitting and picks up the scroll, as Xerxes is working behind veiled curtains; stops to glance at Xerxes, then continues; laughs to herself and looks up once more; wistfully] I read for the King? Alone? Like This? Daily entry 23: Egyptian wheat reserves were reported at half the normal level due to a recent drought. Admiral Ecstese was honored for serving 20 years in the Royal Fleet. After a lengthy speech he promptly keeled over and died. 25: 3 head of sheep were stolen from Deremont Mera, Satrap of Media. He requested the crown send out the proper authorities... And so Jacob, also a shepherd by trade was sent off into the far, far off land. Where he came across the fair Rachel, tending her father's sheep. He was smitten. He went and rolled the stone from the well and watered her flock for her. And Jacob kissed Rachel and lifted up his voice and wept with joy. Lavin, Rachael's father, heard of this. He said to Jacob, "Should you serve me for nothing? Tell me what shall your wages be?". Jacob said, "I will serve you 7 years for your daughter Rachael." Jacob served 7 years tending Lavin's sheep and it only seemed but a few days, for the love he had for her. Jacob said to Lavin, "Give me my bride for my days are fulfilled." Lavin threw a great wedding feast, but in the dark of the evening Lavin brought his older daughter into Jacob. Behold in the morning it was Leah, not Rachael. Jacob was shocked. He said to Lavin, " What is this thou has done unto me? Did I not serve thee for Rachael? Why have you beguiled me?

Queen Esther: You came back.

King Xerxes: I saw them...I saw the stars.
