Quotes from David and Bathsheba
Joab:
Sire?
King David: Hmmm?
Joab: You're wounded. Let me call for a physician.
King David: No, no, let it alone. It's a long time since I've shed any blood. It's good to have proof that it still runs in my veins.
Bathsheba: [as David tries to kiss her in an open field] No, David! The boy! He'll see us!
King David: [David looks at the shepherd boy] No matter. Shepherd boys learn early about life.
Bathsheba: Did you, David?
King David: Did I what?
Bathsheba: Learn about life early?
King David: Before I was 12, I knew everything there was to know about life. At 12 I'd killed wolves... at 13 a man.
King David: Michal, I cannot find it in my heart to blame you for what you do... but you, Absalom, my son, have I given you cause to hate me so?
