- THE PRISON Lyrics The lights change and the set transforms to a prison cell. AIDA and MEREB are with a GUARD. MEREB glances around and hands the GUARD a sack of gold. MEREB A word with the prisoner. GUARD Alright, Mereb. But be quick about it. (Guard exits. AIDA and MEREB enter the cell.) AIDA Father? AMONASRO Aida? I knew you would survive. That I trained my daughter well. At least, I would not allow myself to believe anything else. AIDA Have they mistreated you? AMONASRO No, I believe they are saving that part for my execution... Three days from now. AIDA It won't come to that. We'll get you out of here. MEREB In two days, the daughter of the Pharaoh will wed. Most of the guards will be needed to control the crowds AMONASRO And who is this young Minister of War? AIDA This is Mereb. You remember... Henu's boy. AMONASRO Henu. Your father was a great warrior. He had hopes you would grow up to be a scholar. MEREB Sire. The chief jailor will attend Amneris' wedding. They've assigned a lowly guard to take his place - a man I know. AMONASRO You are suggesting you may be able to bribe this guard? MEREB Let's just say, we've done business in the past. AIDA That would take a lot of gold MEREB I have it. For years I've been stealing from the palace. I thought maybe, someday, I could use it to get back to Nubia. But if I can send my King home... AMONASRO We will all be going home soon, Mereb. Now, how are the docks guarded? MEREB By the Captain's soldiers. AMONASRO So the odds are slim. Can you use a sword, boy? MEREB Me? Actually I'm better at providing encouragement from the sidelines. AIDA A fight won't be necessary. They'll let us through. (Aida takes out the amulet RADAMES gave her. MEREB gasps.) MEREB Captain Radames gave you that? AMONASRO Who is this Captain? An Egyptian? AIDA Yes, but he's not like the others, father. AMONASRO He leads Pharaoh's army, and he did not lay waste to our country like the others? AIDA He regrets his past. AMONASRO Aida! Do not shame yourself and me with such witless sentiment. Do not tell me this Egyptian grieves for the Nubian men executed, the women ravaged, and the children taken into slavery. Any soft look you have given this Captain, any soft word, betrays the innocents who suffered at his hands and at the hands of every soldier he commands. You will cut this man from your heart. AIDA Yes, Father AMONASRO I would not have thought it possible that these Egyptians could give me one more reason to hate them.
