because you were big.

Let me leave!

Coming down from flatulence!

To let take you?

I am going to return you to the sea.

Forever!

Mercy, oh my master!

What do you say?

My good master!

Repeat again.

Good master,

I will grant you three wishes.

Three wishes?

I will grant them.

Do you swear it?

I swear it.

By king Salomon,

Mr. of the Geniuses?

By king Salomon,

Mr. of the Geniuses.

Oath

that no one can break.

You won't threaten,

nor won't shout?

No, master.

Don't redo

as much noise as before,

you had frightened me.

Mr.,

speak and I will obey.

It is better, you learned

the good manners.

I am hungry.

has stopped to think.

I would like some sausages

as home.

Your sausages...

master.

It was your first vow.

You have two of them.

Which?

Not so quickly.

I must be prudent.

Again two...

Do you know this that I wish?

To know where is Ahmad.

For it it is necessary to have

the universal eye.

Give it to me.

I can you there to take,

but I won't be able to steal it.

To steal it?

I will handle it!

What did you steal ever?

The key of the lock,

the ring of the finger,

the genius's strength...

And the liar's language.

The one that will steal the eye

of the goddess

cannot be a boaster

but a hero.

I always dreamed

to be a hero.

Hang yourselves to my hair.

Don't forget

that it is not a vow.

There I am rather

helping you.

Yes, master.

Genius! I am afraid!

What hero...

does have gone, master?

Yes, he/it seems me.

Where are we?

Above the roof of the world.

Does the world have a roof?

A sustained roof

by seven pillars.

Pillars that rest

on the shoulders

of a huge genius

who is standing on an eagle

hung to a bull

who overlaps a fish

who swims

in the sea of the eternity.

Where do we go?

On the summit

of the highest mountain,

where the earth joins the sky,

to the temple of the dawn,

where is

the goddess of Light

whose head shelters

the universal eye.

Now, boasting,

you are going to be able to be a thief

and a hero at a time.

A hero!

Genius!

Come me out of there!

Quickly!

To the help!

Is it the universal eye?

In 2 000 years

she/it will have another one.

While waiting, she/it will ignore

all of the men.

How to see where is Ahmad?

Watch well!

Yes, it is Ahmad!

To the help!

My vow is to join it.

I obey,

small master of the world.

Hang yourselves well,

one has the half of the world to clear.

Don't be afraid, Ahmad!

It is I, Abu!

Put me on the floor!

Mildly!

Clumsy! Useless!

Allah, mercy!

It is a true genius!

He/it is mine

and I am his/her/its master.

I am your master,

this is not?

Speak and I will obey,

oh master.

He/it took me

and he/it is going to come us out of here.

Why does he/it laugh like that?

To reason

of his/her/its excessive size.

The boredom it is that it is necessary

still to scream.

Hey you, up there!

What do you have to laugh?

I will be soon free.

Come us out of here.

Is it the 3rd vow?

Not again.

He/it is big but also shrewd.

Prudence,

I have a vow only.

I only have one vow.

Your vow, I know it.

Your princess.

I dream to see it again.

Is it all?

Useless to waste a vow.

Watch.

What is it?

Watch in.

Watch attentively

and you will see it.

It is true!

A blue rose?

I heard to speak of it.

It is the blue rose

of the oblivion.

If she/it breathes some

perfume...

she/it will forget all.

Of the blue roses?

What charming perfume.

Who are you?

I don't know.

I forgot.

Why did you suffer?

Would I have suffered?

I don't remember.

I was in love,

he/it seems me.

In love with who?

I would not know how to say.

I don't know anymore.

I don't want to see that more!

To know is even worse

that not to see

when one cannot make anything.

Nothing.

Why did you give me that?

Break it in one thousand pieces!

I flew it to help you.

You flew it

because you like that.

Without me, you would have died.

I would like to have died,

you to have known never.

I would like... to be in Baghdad.

It is my vow!

[Skipped item nr. 869]

Where are you?

Where you wanted it, in Baghdad.

Come me out of here!

Do you hear myself?

I want to go of it to me!

You will remain where you are.

You are astute, small master,

but you are a human.

If you are hungry,

you lose the reason of it,

if you think,

you forget some your heart

and if your heart expresses itself!

If your heart expresses itself,

you forget all!

I am not your master?

More now,

I granted your three wishes.

I am free!

Genius, come back!

Don't let me die here!

Farewell,

small master of the universe!

Farewell!

I am free!

[Skipped item nr. 887]

You forgot all your past.

You were in love with me.

You like me.

You will always like me.

The whole passes is forgotten.

I was in love with you.

I like you

and will like you always.

Jaffar!

Throw them in jail.

Link them

on opposite walls.

Tomorrow they will die cut up living persons.

I failed, my love.

Forgive me.

I don't have any regrets.

We are together.

And we will remain it forever.

We won't be

more ever detached.

Yes, if the death is not the end.

I quarreled with Abu.

I regret it.

Abu, my friend.

Farewell...

and forgive me.

No, I don't want

to tell you farewell.

I want to help you.

But how?

I prefer not to see!

Welcome, our prince.

Welcome, small prince.

Father to the beard,

you make mistake.

I am not a prince,

I am only a thief.

We wait for you

since four thousand years.

No, it is not possible.

I am by chance there,

I don't know how.

Who, Father of the Miracles, are you?

Where am I?

On the Earth of Legend,

where all is possible

when he/it is seen

by a child's eyes.

We survived

to the age of gold.

Of gold,

because gold was not then

hardly more that the sand

that we trod

or the stone

that we became.

You, of the stone?

We were

petrified of horror

when we saw the men

to stop being children

and to believe

in the beauty of the impossible.

But when the heart

of a child comes to us

and in us,

we live again.

And since you are this child,

you are going to become my successor.

Come with me

and I will give to you

the two badges

of the true royalty.

Here they are.

Point it on the injustice

and you will defeat it.

No, Father of Goodness,

I don't want some.

I don't want to be a king.

I want to save my friend.

Hey well, it will help you.

Take it.

And now,

I return you homage,

because you are a king

and all in our kingdom

belongs to you, except

this carpet

that I keep for me.

Because on this carpet

who flies when one tells to him:

"Vole, carpet",

I will go until the paradise

when the hour will have sounded.

He/it is said,

by Allah's grace,

that he/it was a king

among the kings,

master of the weapons, of the armies,

and of the vessels,

a main oppressor

of the time and the people.

The earth was a punishment

for his/her/its topics.

They complained in secret

and were punished

on the place of the market.

But a sage among the sages

of Baghdad

Miles Malleson

William Miles Malleson (25 May 1888 – 15 March 1969), generally known as Miles Malleson, was an English actor and dramatist, particularly remembered for his appearances in British comedy films of the 1930s to 1960s.
