- Palace servant: [a palace servant runs up to a palace guard] Have you seen Resi, the physician?
- Palace guard: Not yet, why? Has the sky fallen in?
- Resi - Pharaoh's Physician: [Resi bows as he approaches the pharaoh] Is my sovereign in good health and suffering no ills?
- Pharaoh Nemorat: I want you to answer my question. As a physician to the pharaoh, do you touch and give treatment to beggars?
- Resi - Pharaoh's Physician: For a physician, the various elements of anatomy are the same in all men. Studying them helps me to cure you.
- Pharaoh Nemorat: Once you suggested removing the top of my skull. But if any skull is to be removed it is your own. Be thankful you're a good physician and I'm in need of you.
