Quotes
-
Astaroth : My sister. She thinks herself as strong a leader as a man might be. But, she has a little, cautious woman's mind. I could create a state, a nation, a empire. She thinks to conserve only what we have. Our two joined cities.

Astaroth : Captain, come in.
[to Shuah]
Astaroth : You prefer the Captain? He is beautiful. Isn't he? Would you like to kiss him? Come on. Don't be afraid. Come on. Kiss him. Go on.
[to the Captain]
Astaroth : Isn't she lovely? Answer me. Try taking her in your arms. Answer me.
The Captain : I thought that years of devotion to your person deserved, at least, respect.
Astaroth : Respect a panting dog that always wags his tail?

Astaroth : What difference does it make?
Shuah : She's my sister.
Astaroth : So, then, haven't you now more in common? More in common, too, with other Hebrews who find our Sodom so fair. Your father!
Astaroth : My father is good. He's perfect!
Astaroth : Did I say he wasn't?
[kiss]
Astaroth : Didn't he marry one of our women?
[kiss]
Astaroth : Bring your whole tribe into the city?
[kiss]
Astaroth : How then do you differ from him?
[kiss]
Astaroth : And how does Maleb? Or I? Do I remind you of your father?
[long kiss]

Queen Bera : Sweetest brother. Oldest and dearest enemy of all.
[seductively caresses Astaroth's cheek and sticks her finger in his mouth, he bites it, she smiles]
Queen Bera : Huh! You drew blood.
Astaroth : I know.
[he sticks his finger in Queen Bera's mouth, she bites it, he remains stoneface]
Queen Bera : It doesn't give you any longer - pleasure?
Astaroth : Not even pain.
Queen Bera : Go! Do as I order.
Astaroth : As you desire.
[sarcastically]
Astaroth : Sweetest sister.
