Tim Elliott: Horace Selim

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Horace Selim : [on phone]  Your policies do not have Egypt's best interests at heart, Anwar.

  Farthay : They are the government's policies, Selim. I'm just one of many who believe they're right.

  Horace Selim : Right? Right for what? To blend Egypt into a community of lesser nations? To destroy a greatness born thousands of years before Christ?

  Farthay : Your position as Curator of the Ancients Museum is influential, Selim, but it does not allow you to dictate policy to me. And you may surround yourself with antiquities, but the days of the pharaohs are dead and you must live in the 20th century.

  Horace Selim : Very well, Anwar, if that is your final word. But know this, the pharaohs are not dead. They are only sleeping.

  [hangs up phone] 

  Horace Selim : It is you... who are dead.
