Iras Quotes in Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925)

Messala: Egypt! Egypt! I would drown my soul in your eyes! Give me proof of your love!

Iras: My heart is in the hollow of your hand, Messala. What more do you wish?

Messala: You, flower of the Nile, will succeed where others have failed - - solve the mystery of Ilderim's driver.

Iras: Flashing eyes and milk-white bodies! Beauty to be tamed! Does it not thrill you?

Iras: Curiosity consumes me! Why do you race as the Unknown Jew?

Iras: If you are as slow in the race tomorrow as you are in love today, Messala may drive snails and win!

Iras: How it all looks! Do you think you might wear this vest when you get married too?

[Charmion laughs]

Cleopatra: What?

Charmion: I was just thinking of the great Caesar trying to unhook it!
