Samson: What do you want with those green withes? Planning to snare a rabbit? Delilah: No... a lion. Samson: With those? Delilah: I'm weaving you a crown. Samson: A lion with lilies in his mane? Delilah: Hold these. This crown will have a secret power. Samson: For its wearer or its weaver? Delilah: Only a secret can buy a secret. Samson: I have no secrets left to tell. Delilah: You never told me why you're stronger than other men. Is it some herb you mix in your food or some charmed oil you rub into your body? Samson: What would you do if you knew the secret of my strength? Delilah: Bind you. Samson: Why? Delilah: So you could never leave me.

Samson: Delilah... Delilah: No, I will not listen. Samson: But you asked me to... Delilah: I don't want to hear you. Samson: Three times you plagued me to tell you. Delilah: And three times you've lied to me. You said new ropes that had never been used would hold you. Samson: Who knows the strength of a rope that's never been used? Delilah: Then you told me your strength would go if I wove your hair to the web of my loom. Now look at my loom.

Samson: Look about you, Delilah. The moon that lights this oasis by night and the sun that lights it by day are not there by chance. In the beginning, there was only darkness, until one power created light and shaped the Earth and all the things that live upon it. Delilah: Your invisible God. Samson: My strength comes from Him. Delilah: But how does His power reach you? Is He here with us now? Samson: He's everywhere. In the wind, in the sea, in the fire. In your heart if you believe in Him. His is the only power in the world that can break open a seed and raise it into that great tree. [Samson and Delilah look up at a palm tree.] Delilah: And can I share this power with you? Samson: Anyone can share it. It's a gift that makes men greater than themselves. With it, some can stir the soul with music. Others can read the truth in men's hearts and forgive them. To me, it's the strength to break any bonds that can be put upon me. Delilah: Will you always have this strength? Samson: As long
