Quotes
-
Queen Rose Benjamin : You never do that again.
Michelle Benjamin : Jack and William are wrong; I won't pretend otherwise.
Queen Rose Benjamin : Yes, you will. Until Silas returns - and then you will pretend even more. The fate of this monarchy, this family, no longer lies with your brother. Jack will die the moment Silas returns.
Michelle Benjamin : And if Silas and David don't return?
Queen Rose Benjamin : I know your father; he'll come. And you have to stay alive long enough to greet him with open arms. You keep your head down, your mouth shut. You tell no one of this pregnancy, especially David. You'll have nothing to fear - I'll take care of everything.
-
Michelle Benjamin : [disappointed] You're leaving.
David Shepherd : All I did was replace one corrupt king for another.
Michelle Benjamin : You stopped a war; who knows how many lives you saved?
David Shepherd : I can't live here. Back home, things were either right - or wrong.

[Rev. Samuels appears to David and Michelle; they do not realize he is dead]
Rev. Ephram Samuels : Silas did this to you.
David Shepherd : He thinks I've stolen God's favor.
Rev. Ephram Samuels : You haven't, David; God gave it freely.
David Shepherd : I don't want it!
Rev. Ephram Samuels : David Shepherd, son of Jessie, son of Judah, know this: You *were* chosen... to be the new king.
Michelle Benjamin : ...It's true, isn't it?... Where can I take him?
Rev. Ephram Samuels : His only place of refuge... you cannot follow - Gath. Silas would never look for you there.
David Shepherd : Gath?... I'll be alone; I'll have nothing.
Rev. Ephram Samuels : You need fear no evil; you, David, are never alone.
David Shepherd : [to Michelle] As long as we're together, you'll be in danger; I can't risk you. You have to stay here.
Michelle Benjamin : [removing her ring] Take this; wear it... and know that I will always love you, no matter what. Always know that.
David Shepherd : I will never stop loving you - ever... I'll be back for you.
Michelle Benjamin : I'll be waiting.
Rev. Ephram Samuels : Husband and wife, if you like; vows of love, exchanged before God. You two were married long ago, and you will be married forevermore.

[last lines]
Queen Rose Benjamin : An issuance of the king: For her acts of treason in support of her brother, Michelle Benjamin is ordered exiled from Gilboa - stripped of any rights as citizen or noble, removed from all our lands, and kept from any company but her own for a period of no less than one year.
Michelle Benjamin : What are you talking about?
Queen Rose Benjamin : [whispering] I told you I would take care of everything.
[Michelle is removed by two soldiers]
King Silas Benjamin : All our plans...
Queen Rose Benjamin : We'll make new ones... We'll be young again; everything there is to fight for began with you. You're the stone center; you're Silas.
King Silas Benjamin : Yes...
Queen Rose Benjamin : And nothing can take the future from this family.
King Silas Benjamin : Nothing?
[Rose exits]
King Silas Benjamin : ...Least of all David Shepherd.
[Rev. Samuels' ghost appears behind Silas]
Rev. Ephram Samuels : Let him go, Silas.
King Silas Benjamin : I will find David; I will hunt him down, and when his dead body lays at my feet I'll come for you for your part in this.
Rev. Ephram Samuels : Killing David will not keep you king.
King Silas Benjamin : At least God will know I'm angry.
Rev. Ephram Samuels : He's gone, Silas - where you can not find him. His family is safe, too. Nothing can stop God's plan.
King Silas Benjamin : I travel that path no more; I'm a sinner now. He wants peace, I want war - God and I are now constant enemies.
Rev. Ephram Samuels : Then I bring a message from the enemy: Do not search too hard for my servant, for the day you lay a hand on him... will be the day that you die.
King Silas Benjamin : Oh, is that what He says? Well, take a message back to Him: We are at war.
