• Hephaistion : [refuses to let Roxane see Alexander after the murder of Cleitus] 

  Roxane : Let me pass. I am the Queen! I want to see him! I've waited three days!

  Hephaistion : He says none. Not even you.

  Roxane : He needs me!

  Hephaistion : No. He doesn't.

  Roxane : [mocking]  And he needs you?

• Hephaistion : [crying softly, he shows Alexander a ring]  I found it in Egypt... the man who sold it to me said it came from a time when man worshiped sun, and stars. I'll always think of you as the sun, Alexander. And I pray your dream will shine on all men.

  [puts the ring on Alexander's ring finger, then embraces him] 

  Hephaistion : I wish you a son. You're a great man. Many will love you, Alexander, but none so pure and deep...

  Roxane : [Roxane enters] 

  Hephaistion : [Hephaistion exits guiltily] 

  Roxane : You... love him?

  Alexander : He is Hephaistion. There are many different ways to love.

• Roxane : Are you drunk again?

  Alexander : He's dead!

  Roxane : Who?

  Alexander : Many hated him, but I don't think any other would have dared!

  Roxane : [terrified]  Hephaistion... is dead?

• Roxane : This I know, Alexander. In Persia you are a great king. Here, they hate you. Let us go back to Persia. There you are strong.

  Alexander : We'll talk about this later.

  Roxane : Yes. Later. Talk.

  Alexander : I will come.

  Roxane : And I will wait.
