The Prince of Egypt1998
Jethrodiadah:
(to Moses) Psst! Sit with me!
Moses:
All right. [sits down with Tzipporah's sisters and picks up the fruit and eats it]
Ajolidoforah:
(to Moses) Psst! Not yet!
Moses:
Oh, sorry. [puts the the fruit back into the bowl]
Jethro:
My children! Let us give thanks for this bountiful food, and let us also give thanks for the presence of this brave young man whom we honor here tonight.
Moses:
Please, sir, I wish you wouldn't. I've done nothing in my life worth honoring.
[Tzipporah is surprised by these words. So is Jethro.]
Jethro:
First you rescue Tzipporah from Egypt (Jethro pinches Tzipporah's cheek playfully), then you defend my younger daughters from brigands (Jethro walks over and hugs Tzipporah's sisters). You think that is nothing? It seems you do not know what is worthy of honor.
[Jetho touches the tapestry begins to sing]"
Jethro:
A single thread in a tapestry, through its color brightly shine
Can never see its purpose in the pattern of the grand design
And the stone that sits on the very top of the Mountain's mighty face
Does it think it's more important than the stones that form the base?
So how can you see what your life is worth
Or where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man
You must look at your life
Look at your life through Heavens' eyes
[The Women playing Instruments, Jethro holding hands with Jethrodiadah while dancing. She runs to Moses and grabs his hands]"
Jethrodiadah:
Dance with me!
Moses:
No, I don't know how.
