Quotes:

Potiphar: And to whom are these prayers addressed to? Which gods?::Joseph: Only one, my lord.::Potiphar: Only one god. Must be very poor indeed.::[crowd laughs]::Joseph: My God provides for all my needs.::Potiphar: He hasn't done very well for you, has he?::[more laughter]

Ednan: I thought you were pious, boy. Are you too good to pray to our gods?::Joseph: No, not too good. Only... I, I only pray to the God of my fathers.::Ednan: Well you won't find Him in Egypt.

Simeon: First he sets Joseph above us and now Benjamin...::Judah: [grabs him] Then so be it! We will not tease God another time!

Potiphar's Wife: [after Joseph is spared execution] You sent him to prison? At your pleasure? What about my honor?::Potiphar: What honor?::Potiphar's Wife: How dare you!::Potiphar: I know you, wife. I know you.::Potiphar's Wife: You don't understand. Whatever you may think of me... how could you? How could you humiliate me like that?::Potiphar: Because one humiliation deserves another. Wife, anyone who knows Joseph also knows that if he swears by his God then he's telling the truth.

Potiphar: You had better prostrate quickly.::Joseph: You know I cannot.::Pharaoh: [furious] You what?::Joseph: Clearly the Pharaoh is greatness itself but my faith decrees that I can only kneel before God - even on pain of death.::Pharaoh: [laughs] Come forward. Take heed, magicians. Whatever happens, I know this man won't lie to me.

Potiphar: I'd be careful if I were you. You worship as you like in Canaan but in Egypt only Pharaoh, son of Ra, is god.

Potiphar's Wife: They say whatever he touches flourishes.::Potiphar: Is this true? [Ednan nods]

Potiphar: Do you think you could bring some order in my home if I brought you out of the fields?::Joseph: Out of the fields, master, I can do anything.::Potiphar: Then out of the fields you shall be! We will see just how things flourish under your hand or perhaps, the hand of your God.

Joseph: I have seen the evils of rape! It is hateful to me and an abomination in the eyes of God.

Potiphar's Wife: What is more important to you? His God or my good name?::Potiphar: The truth.
