“The Ten Commandments” was on TV over the weekend. It’s always been one of my favorites, mostly for its amazing combination of camp and religion. This year, for some reason, the 18-hour running time just wore me out, and I only watched bits and pieces of it. But the best parts are classics, like when Moses’ Egyptian mother finds out he knows he’s Hebrew:
Bithiah: Gather my chariot! I shall ride to Goshen!
(quick cut to Moses’ Hebrew family)
Yochabel (looking up, startled): A chariot? Here in Goshen?
