• Set : [about to be killed]  Wait! I spared your life, didn't I?

  Horus : I won't make that mistake.

• Horus : [sees Apophis on Earth] 

  [forcefully] 

  Horus : I can understand killing for a throne or crown, but this is madness!

  Set : [indignant]  Of course you couldn't/don't understand!

  [now incensed] 

  Set : How could you?

  [barks] 

  Set : Favored son of a favored son!

• Ra : [on his son letting Apophis devour the afterlife itself to gain omnipotence] 

  [aghast] 

  Ra : You would Unleash Chaos Upon Creation? You Would Destroy Everything?

  Set : [to Ra justifying his intentions]  Not destroy...

  [abrupt] 

  Set : ... Reshape

  [denigration] 

  Set : I will take your place. But it won't be sitting on some damn boat!

• Set : [to Hathor]  I tore the wings off my wife. Imagine what I'll do to YOU...

• Set : You're not fit to be king... it's my turn now.

  [tears out Horus's eyes] 

• Set : [to his father on his intended fate] 

  [haranguing] 

  Set : I don't want to die, I want to live... Forever! I want to live down on earth,

  [points to the surface of the planet] 

  Set : Down There... in the lands that I conquered... My Kingdom!

  [curt] 

  Set : This Should Be My Reward

• Set : Did you miss me?

  Hathor : I have to miss you, I'm your prisoner.

• Urshu : No one has ever so honored the great God Ra. He will pass over it's peak and marvel at the tribute you have built in his name.

  Set : Is that it?

  Urshu : I'm sorry?

  Set : Well, can you make it any taller?

  Urshu : T-Taller?

  Set : Yes, it's a simple question.

  Urshu : Well, that might be difficult, um, now, I mean...

  Set : Relax, Urshu, I'm joking.

  Urshu : hah, hah, hah, hahaha.

• Ra : I noticed the tower... impressive

  Set : I built it for you

  Ra : [to Set]  If it... your tower were any taller or higher, it would get and be in my way.

  Set : Turn your eyes from your sails... and look at everything I've done... What if Osiris never could.

  [gazes beneath him] 

  Set : I Rule All That Breathes

  [peers down below] 

  Set : ... And All That Is Breathed Upon

• Set : [meets Osiris at his party]  It took me four days to get here - three to come out of the desert, and one to come through this crowd!

• Ra : None is mightier, under the sun.

  Set : They all honor me. Just as I've honor you.

  Ra : If honor had been your true intent, you would have refrained and abstained from killing your brother.

  Set : So you do see what happens down there. Tell me,

  [sarcastically] 

  Set : Father do you care what happens?

  Ra : [sadly]  I care more than you know or can ever imagine.

• Set : COME, DEMON!

  [Apophis appears] 

• Set : Soon I will rule over all of the world...

• Urshu : You look glorious, lord.

  Set : I know.

• Set : [enquiring]  Then Why Was I Cast Out Alone? To Walk On Burning Sands... While My Brother Played Barefoot At The Shores Of The Nile? Why Did You Make Osiris King?

  [now importunately] 

  Set : And Why Did You Bequeath And Give Him... My Brother A Son? And Yet You Denied Me Even The Slightest Chance To Give Life?

  Ra : [bluntly]  This Was Your Test

  Set : [grumbles]  You Didn't Test Him?

  Ra : I Gave Osiris The Crown Of Egypt... And When The Time Came

  [motions] 

  Ra : He Didn't Cling To His Power... He Gave It A Way... Freely... He Passed His Test

  Set : [direct]  Than I Wager I Passed Mine

  Ra : Not Yet...

  [contrite] 

  Ra : It's True I Didn't Want You To Have Children... This Was A Kindness... Because I Did Not Want You To Miss Them As Terribly As I Have Or Do I Wanted To Spare You That Burden Of Heartbreak

  Set : [dubious]  Miss Them?

  Ra : [solemnly]  I Need You To Take My Place

  Set : [astounded]  Here?

  [looks about him in disbelief] 

• Horus : [fraught]  I Looked Up To You

  [knocks him back into a pillar] 

  Horus : [flagrantly]  Of Course You Did

  [shakes it off and resumes fighting] 

  Set : [to his nephew]  You Fight Well

  [guileful] 

  Set : Are You So Sure You're His

  [Osiris] 

  Set : Son?

• Ra : [resigned]  This was too be your final task I need you to take my place... this is how your test ends my son... there is no greater burden... and yet no greater honour... all you have done can be forgiven

  Set : [affronted]  You expect me to joust with this beast... night after night... until I die?

• Horus : [to his uncle] 

  [terse] 

  Horus : I Thought You Were The Greatest Of All The Gods

  Set : [brusque]  I AM The Greatest God Of All
