- Hephaistion: [refuses to let Roxane see Alexander after the murder of Cleitus]
- Roxane: Let me pass. I am the Queen! I want to see him! I've waited three days!
- Hephaistion: He says none. Not even you.
- Roxane: He needs me!
- Hephaistion: No. He doesn't.
- Roxane: [mocking] And he needs you?
- Hephaistion: [crying softly, he shows Alexander a ring] I found it in Egypt... the man who sold it to me said it came from a time when man worshiped sun, and stars. I'll always think of you as the sun, Alexander. And I pray your dream will shine on all men.
- [puts the ring on Alexander's ring finger, then embraces him]
- Hephaistion: I wish you a son. You're a great man. Many will love you, Alexander, but none so pure and deep...
- Roxane: [Roxane enters]
- Hephaistion: [Hephaistion exits guiltily]
- Roxane: You... love him?
- Alexander: He is Hephaistion. There are many different ways to love.
