The Prince of Egypt (Rewrite) - To Pharaoh's Palace!

EXT. DESERT - MIDNIGHT

After running through the woods for several hours, the trio stop at a bridge over a dry riverbed in front of a sign shaped like Pharaoh Seti pointing to the right. The sign reads “TO PHARAOH'S PALACE. Where you all can work all day and all night.”

MOSES We’re almost at the palace of Pharaoh. Star, we’ll need to be very discreet.

STAR Discreet? Got it. Sounds like another plan. I’m getting pretty good at this planning stuff.

MOSES Um, you know what might help that plan, if you weren’t so bright?

STAR Oh thank you. Oh wait, you meant?

MOSES Shiny, glowing, way too much light. Turn it down, turn it down.

STAR Oh, sure.

Star concentrates and the light from his body slowly fades until he looks like a regular white horse.

STAR Better?

MOSES Much—

Before they could cross the bridge, they are stopped by a hooded figure riding a black horse. Star tries to pretend to be a normal horse by neighing.

STAR Neiigghh.

The black horse neighs back and much more aggressively. The hooded figure stops in front of them and reveals herself to be Nefertiti.

NEFERTITI I had a feeling someone would pass through here?

Seated behind her, Ebony licks her paw before showing her claws, smiling and hissing viciously at the two.

MOSES Nefertiti.

The Egyptian soldiers on horseback appear from behind the trees to surround Moses on both sides.

MOSES (WHISPER) Star, remember the thing I just told you not to do? I’m going to need you to do it. Now.

Star becomes so bright that everyone around them has to recover from the sudden flash, giving the heroes enough time to jump from the bridge and run down the riverbed. Nefertiti quickly recovers and orders the Egyptian soldiers to chase after them.

NEFERTITI Don’t let them get away!

Star jumps out of the dry riverbed and into the desert in trails of Pharaoh's Palace.

STAR W-h-hoa! Look at me go! I had no idea horses could move this fast! I mean their eyesight is trippy but…

Star moves his eyes from the side of his head to the front.

STAR Ah yeah, that’s better. I wonder if I could go even faster!

Star spontaneously grows four more legs, making him faster but also wobblier. Moses’ pleas to be more careful go completely ignored as Star revels in his newfound burst of speed.

STAR Why would humans ever walk on two legs? This is so much easie–

Star trips and falls and Moses tumble over him.

MOSES Ah! Get up! Run!

Moses runs for his lives as the Egyptian soldiers catch up with them. Star shapeshifts into a squirrel and runs towards the ground.

STAR Up we go!

Nefertiti and the Egyptian soldiers chase Moses into a bunch of sand, where he manages to lose them. Nefertiti then appears right in front of Moses.

NEFERTITI I got him!

Instead of stopping, Moses slides right under his horse, making it stand up and throw the new queen and her cat off of it. Nefertiti glares at the runaway Prince of Egypt and Moses glares back as she keeps running.

Star jump over Nefertiti and try to reach Moses. Star turns to look at Nefertiti before changing his head to a horse’s head and neighing at her. Nefertiti growls in frustration before Ebony proceeds to give chase to Star.

She tries to scratch him only to nab at his sweater, causing it to be pulled apart by the string until it turns into a ball of yarn. A ball of yarn Ebony becomes immediately fascinated by and plays with. Star laughs at this before turning to see two of the Egyptian soldiers closing in on Moses.

Star conjures an acorn shell and wears it like a helmet.

STAR Get me to Mose-ssSS!

Star soars through the air, taking on a variety of forms, from a rhino to a chicken to a snowman until finally turning into a turtle. Star goes inside his shell and spins around, smacking the guards on their helmets. The Egyptian soldiers stop to reorient themselves while Star flies towards Moses.

STAR Moses! I’m coming for you!

Star lands on Moses facefirst, making them tumble around for a few seconds until Moses was awkwardly sitting on Star’s shell while Star tried to run away from the guards while still a turtle.

STAR (GROANING) I really thought these would be faster.

Star turns back into a horse just as he catches up with them. Moses lets out a laugh, thinking they’re finally safe, only to see Nefertiti and the Egyptian soldiers gaining on them. She turns around to Star’s front only to see that they’re rapidly approaching a cliff.

MOSES Careful! The cliff!

STAR Oh, yes! I love that idea!

MOSES Wait, no! Bad idea! Terrible idea!

STAR For real horses, but not for me!

Star leaps off the cliff with Moses in tow. He screams while Star yells in exhilaration.

STAR Ya-hoo-hoo-hooey!

Moses continue screaming as Star grows a pair of wings and wraps them around him, cushioning their impact when Star hits the ocean below.

Once under the water, Moses open his eyes to see Star in the middle of transforming. Right now, he is a swirling mist of glowing energy surrounding them. In spite of the tense situation they’re in, Asha can’t help but feel calm and happy at that moment. He sees Star offer him his hand and he takes it. He looks at his smiling face within the sphere and could just tell that everything is going to be okay.

Back at the cliff, Nefertiti and the Egyptian soldiers stop just in time before falling over the edge. They look over and don’t see even a trace of our heroes.

EGYPTIAN SOLDIER #1 They’re gone!

Nefertiti raises a hand to silence him. Still observing where they fell to see if anything would change. Sure enough, a golden glow shines from under the water and a shining dolphin leaps out with Moses riding on top of it.

MOSES Woah!

Nefertiti looks at the scene baffled while Star swims the heroes to safety. Moses is smiling and laughing now that they’re safe.

He looks down and sees that Star is releasing more stardust into the ocean. He touches the water only for two real dolphins to appear beside and swim alongside them.

At the ocean floor, all kinds of sea life from fish to crabs become covered in stardust and swim up towards them. They also begin jumping out of the water and squeaks. Moses laughs and smiles at the whole scene.

He looks down and sees that all of the sea creatures are giving him of his own show, taking on the formation of a fish as they swim underneath him.

He then hears a low, loud noise and turns to her right to see a whale appear right beside her. The whale shoots water out of his blowhole, soaking the trio more to their delight. Moses looks directly into the whale’s eye.

The whale and all the other sea creatures dive back into the ocean. As its tail fully descends, Pharaoh's Palace becomes visible in the distance. Moses smiles at the sight, they finally made it!

The Prince of Egypt (Rewrite) - Rameses' Secert

INT. ROYAL PALACE, THE STUDY – NIGHT

The camera then zooms out to the study at the top of the palace. Rameses stares up longingly at the star through his skylight. Floating across his study are hundreds of glowing blue orbs, all of Egypt’s wishes left ungranted.

RAMESES I feel your pull. My heart rumbles with such hunger.

Rameses’s face drops in annoyance as he turns to his wife, mixing together some kind of potion.

RAMESES Nefertiti, darling, did you hear me? I am impatient.

NEFERTITI I heard you. I’m coming.

Nefertiti drops a single speck of yellow powder into a bottle, making it turn from blue into a sickly, glowing green.

NEFERTITI And lucky for you, I'm devilishly good with a pair of tweezers.

As Nefertiti walks up the steps to her and her husband’s thrones, her pet Mau cat, Ebony follows her, purring softly.

RAMESES Is that a brag?

The two of them chuckle briefly.

RAMESES It's rather weak, but alright.

NEFERTITI Fifty grains, no more, no less.

Nefertiti hands Rameses the potion and he looks at it more admirably.

RAMESES Oh, I take that back. You are impressive.

NEFERTITI As I shine in your light.

RAMESES Tonight's the night, my dear Nefertiti. Glory will be mine!

Rameses looks up to the star before walking towards a pedestal in the middle of his study. He places the bottle delicately on the pedestal’s center and rests his hand right next to it. He exhales briefly as he chants arcane words while magic swirls around him.

RAMESES (WHISPERS) Lucum. Noctis. Terrum.

The sigils on the pedestal and the floor of his study glow with green, ethereal energy. Ebony lets out a low, panicking meow while Nefertiti looks to her in concern before staring at her husband confidently.

RAMESES (WHISPERS) Nefulio.

As he finishes, a beam of green energy shoots from the bottle and bursts out through the skylight until it hits the star Rameses was talking to. As the bottle’s energy surges throughout the room, Ebony panics and jumps on Nefertiti’s shoulder. Nefertiti, meanwhile, looks up at the night sky in awe and triumph.

RAMESES (SHOUTING) Aurereum Caelum! Astra perenta reum!

Surging with power, Rameses grabs onto the beam, which is now working as a tether between our world and the star and using it to try and pull the star towards him. As Rameses tugs, the star inches closer and closer. Nefertiti and Ebony look on in amazement, almost as certain that absolute victory was in their hands as Rameses was.

RAMESES Yes! YES!!! YE–

But just then, the tether breaks and the star returns to where it once was in the sky

RAMESES NO!

The surge of energy knocks Rameses onto his back. When he gets back up, he sees that the bottle’s contents have turned pitch-black. Nefertiti gasps while Rameses’ expression changes from shock to utter fury. He takes the bottle and throws it to the floor, yelling in rage. Ebony leaps back and yowls in surprise. Nefertiti tries her best to calm her husband’s temper.

NEFERTITI Pharaoh. Pharaoh! Please!

Rameses ignores her as he runs around his study, knocking everything he can find onto the floor.

RAMESES No! No! I had it! I felt it!

NEFERTITI It's okay, it's okay. Careful! Careful, Pharaoh! You need those!

Rameses throws another bottle of potion at the wall before taking deep breaths as his wife soothes him.

NEFERTITI Calm... Calm... Good boy.

Nefertiti places her hands on Rameses’ chest approvingly before he turns and walks away.

RAMESES No! I can't take this... this... WANTING that is never satisfied!

Rameses looks up at the sky and notices all the wishes floating around him. He reaches out and pulls three of them towards him with a wave of his hand.

NEFERTITI What are you doing? Pharaoh! Darling, sweetheart, baby, pookie!

Rameses ignores her as he grabs one of the wishes and almost pops it into his mouth. Nefertiti stops him, placing her hands on the wish and taking it away from him.

NEFERTITI Please, do not devour those wishes!

RAMESES (EXASPERATED) Just three small wishes? Who would notice?

NEFERTITI The cook who prepares your favorite venison? For one, that's his wish.

RAMESES There are other cooks.

She plucks up the second wish and third wish Rameses was about to eat.

NEFERTITI And your best guard. And please, that one's your mother's.

RAMESES In that case...

NEFERTITI Be serious. Hmm, how would you like the wishes of an entire Hebrew village?

RAMESES You found the traitors?

NEFERTITI You may fortify yourself with as many of their wishes as you want. No one will notice.

The camera cuts to Nefertiti unfurling a map of Egypt’s island on one of the tables.

NEFERTITI There’s a young Hebrew man who takes his cattle every month to collect a fetch of bucket of water.

Nefertiti takes a figurine of a man riding a cattle and moves it across the map as visual aid. Ebony walks across the map, following it.

NEFERTITI He goes to the river of Nile all alone, riding through the night. It is said... he always returns with a lighter load.

RAMESES So wicked. He’s taking supplies to the Hebrew village.

NEFERTITI We’ll find them.

Ebony meows before jumping onto Nefertiti’s shoulders. Nefertiti cuddles her as she moves around.

NEFERTITI And everyone knows that traitors deserve to lose their wishes entirely and forever.

RAMESES From the moment I met you and saw your wish, I knew you were the only woman worthy to be my new queen.

Rameses suddenly grabs Nefertiti and dips her.

NEFERTITI Oh! (GIGGLES) Pharaoh!

RAMESES Let’s go catch some traitors.

Rameses dips Nefertiti again before laughing devilishly.

NEFERTITI You dip magnificently!

RAMESES Don’t I?

Rameses continues to dip Nefertiti all around the study while Ebony looks on and rolls her eyes.

NEFERTITI Oh! Such control!

RAMESES It’s all in the arm and the bent knee.

He dips her one more time.

RAMESES How’s that?

NEFERTITI Dizzying.

RAMESES

Hmm.

The two exchange one last loving smile.
