Nefer:
Have you ever looked on a woman before?
Sinuhe:
Hundreds, and in the state the gods created them. I'm a physician.
Nefer:
Your name?
Sinuhe:
I am called Sinuhe. He who is alone. Is this your house?
Nefer:
This is my house, and I have guests every evening. I dislike being alone.
[claps her hands to summon her servant]
Nefer:
Baraka!
[she handles the pendant around Sinuhe's neck]
Nefer:
The inscription of the new Pharoah.
Sinuhe:
His gift. I must leave now.
Nefer:
Why?
Sinuhe:
Because men bring you rich presents for as little as a smile.
[indicating the pendant]
Sinuhe:
This is all I have.
Nefer:
I have never asked a man for anything, but I ask you to stay.
Sinuhe:
I can't.
Nefer:
Is it because we women of Babylon have a bad reputation? Or do you find me so ugly. Do you?
Sinuhe:
You're beautiful, beyond all dreams.
Nefer:
Such flattery must come easily to a man who's known... hundreds of women.
Sinuhe:
No one before has ever seemed to me so beautiful, so strange. When I look in your eyes, I... feel...
Nefer:
What do you feel, Sinuhe?
Sinuhe:
I feel the fever of Thebes in my blood, and I know that I was born to live in the sunset of the world and that nothing matters, nothing, but what I see in your eyes. It's late, I must be leaving.
Nefer:
If you go filled with wine and wild thoughts, you will surely get into trouble with some designing woman.
Sinuhe:
Would you care?
[he follows as she goes into her garden]
