	VOICE OF GOD: It is well known among the Israelites that when Moses recieved the call to speak to the Pharoah, he did not wish to go because he had a major speech impediment. This is his story...
	PHARAOH's receiving room. ADVISOR: That's the troubled future I see for your Majesty, and that's why I believe you should free the Jewish people now. PHARAOH: You have always be given me wise advice and shit. I will do like you said and free the Jew slaves. ADVISOR: O great PHARAOH! Moses the Hebrew to spend a minute with your Majesty. PHARAOH: (angered) Whut for? ADVISOR: He won a contest. PHARAOH: Oh yeah. The fastest ten foot, one ton block pull contest. What was his time? ADVISOR: Three years. PHARAOH: (To ADVISOR) Oh. A new record. Send the dude in.
	PHARAOH: Yo Mo'! Whut up ma nigga? Congratulations on winning. Winning a minute with me.
	Moses: (mumbling) I hov com an mist sey to ou. Le muh peepa go!
	PHARAOH: (to ADVISOR) You catch any of that? ADVISOR: He said, without you, he doesn't know what he and his people will do. PHARAOH: Word?
	Moses: Ah wi sma yo firs baw!
	PHARAOH [looks at ADVISOR] Whut this mutha fucka say?
	ADVISOR: (confused) He said, You are the bomb.
	PHARAOH: Yeah? No jive! [to Moses] You know what? You Jews ok in ma book! Thanks to Moses I have changed my mind.
	MOSES SMILES PHARAOH: The Jews will keep bein' my slaves and every three years one will spend a minute with me just to tell me how cool I am.
	MOSES LOOKS CONFUSED PHARAOH: But I will give you people off on Shabbes from now on.
	PHARAOH: Tell me,ADVISOR. How you know what Moses be sayin'? ADVISOR: He is speaking an ancient language. PHARAOH: You know me. I gets around. From jiberish to pig latin. I knows every ancient language. What's THIS language? ADVISOR: He is speaking dyslexsic. PHARAOH: Oh? He from a country called Dyslexsia? ADVISOR: No. From a country called the People's Republic of The Bronx. Perhaps you should at least give Moses and his people KOSHER food.
	PHARAOH: Because Moses has the time to learn a new language, I have decided to let the dude and his people to use their spare time buildin' me one of those new massage parlours I heard so much about.
	PHARAOH AND ADVISOR SMILE; MOSES DROPS HIS HEAD.
	PHARAOH: (to Moses) After you tell your people the good news, about the massage parlour, they be lovin' you as much as they love me. (to ADVISOR) Take the dude away.
	AS ADVISOR ROUGHLY ESCORTS MOSES OUT.
	Moses: Ahh, Shtik ur massaj powla up ur ast.
	PHARAOH QUICKLY LOOKS AT ADVISOR. ADVISOR: He's excited about getting a massage too. Let's get some hot Asian broads to work it. I know a few that work at the Cairo Scores. PHARAOH: Speaking of broads, where my bitch, the queen, be at?
	ADVISOR: Her highness can not be present, sire. She is indisposed. PHARAOH: What'sa matter with her? ADVISOR: [looks embarassed] ADVISOR: Her time of month, majesty. PHARAOH: Well you tell that ho - as soon as she be off the rag, to get her skinny ass down here. I don't wanna have to be interviewin' these Jews all by myself. ADVISOR: Very good, sire. PHARAOH: And the next time that Moses comes to see me, have my first born son come and join me here. I know that he will just die ---- laughing at the mumblin fool. FADE OUT.
