Hegep Quotes in Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)

Hegep: Is there anything I can do to please you?

Moses: You can stop living like a king. You're not one.

Hegep: Let me tell you something about about Hebrews. They are a conniving, combative people. Do you know what 'Israelite' means in their own language? 'He who fights with God.'

Moses: 'He who wrestles with God.' There is a difference.

Hegep: Do you know what the problem is? People live too long these days. Every year the death rate lags further behind the birth rate. And these people, they reproduce like it's a sport.

Moses: This is the problem? A growing work force?

Hegep: Oh, no. No, of course not, it's good for production, of course it is. But only to a point. When that population wants you dead, yes, it's a problem. So either I'm given more troops to maintain order, or I start thinning out the herd.
