The 3 Wise Men (2003)

Juan Echanove: Melchor

Quotes 

• Melchor : Do you see it now, Gaspar? Sometimes, other people are right, too.

• Melchor : Gold, for the one who proves his courage.

  Gaspar : Frankincense, for the one who learns to be humble.

  Baltasar : Myrrh, for the one who follows his heart.

• Sara : You can't go see Herod. When he finds you what you're up to, he'll slit your throats. It's suicide! It's said that he's controlled by an evil being.

  Gaspar : And now there's an evil being! This is just too much.

  Melchor : Sarah, my dear, it's impossible for a king to be evil. Just look at the city he's built. Kings are good people. It's in their nature.

  Sara : Listen to me! I'm begging you.

  Baltasar : Sarah, it was the star that brought us here. You'll stay outside the palace gate. Let's go.

  Sara : Not even scorpions cross his path.

• Gaspar : [upon meeting Melchior and Balthasar]  And who are you?

  Baltasar : My name is Balthasar. I come from the lands of Nubia, and I have been searching for the same thing as you.

  Gaspar : You are?

  Baltasar : The three of us have been following the same star. I've been expecting you two for days.

  Melchor : Oh! Well, I'm Melchior.

  Baltasar : [shaking Melchior's hand]  Melchior means king of the light, doesn't it?

  Melchor : Oh, yes. Right quite... I mean, quite right you are.

  Gaspar : King of the Light. Ha! Now I've heard everything. My name is Gaspar.

  Melchor : A pleasure, Gaspar.

  Gaspar : Charmed. It means son of all the constellations.
