Centurion
- Centurion: There's a Jew outside. He wants to see the Tribune Messala.
- Messala: I assume he has a name.
- Centurion: [sneeringly] He says he's a prince, Prince Judah Ben-Hur.
- Messala: [loud and quickly] Then treat him like one!
- [quietly]
- Messala: Tell him I'll join him.
- [the centurion starts to leave, and Messala shouts again]
- Messala: CENTURION!
- [Again quietly]
- Messala: This was his country before it was ours. Don't forget that.
- Centurion: Yes, Tribune.
- [the centurion then goes out]
- Sextus: That was very wise. This Judah Ben-Hur is the son of one of the wealthiest families in Judea.
