- Hassan: Come on! Come on, come on, boys. Hey, captain, why the haste? The city will not vanish.
- Aboo-Seer: It's not the city of Charak he wishes to see, but someone who dwells within.
- Sinbad: After a long voyage, it is good to stretch one's legs.
- Hassan: The only good thing about this port is the inn of Abu Jamil the Squint, who, for six months, I have been dreaming of his roasted sheep's eyes.
- Aboo-Seer: And I the eyes of his daughter.
- Sinbad: You were dreaming of more than her eyes.
- Dione: [When Kassim is shown his reflection] He's weeping
- Melanthius: Extraordinary, a normal babboon wouldn't have reconised its reflection and attacked it thinking it was another babboon
- Zenobia: Sail for Rhodes or Tripoli, captain. You'll find richer cargo there. Set sail in search of Melanthius and you'll set a course for Hell and damnation.
- Farah: Let me cut the smile from her face! Let me go! Let me go!
- Balsora: You will bring an eternal curse on all our heads if you draw one drop of blood from any member of the royal family.
- Farah: It's only for that she hasn't murdered Kassim. As cunning as a snake, as malicious as a shark. But Rafi will never be caliph!
- Zenobia: There is no one to prevent it.
- Farah: Melanthius will prevent it!
- Melanthius: No, no, no, no. If you study my design, you'll see there's more curve in the runners. The snow will be deep.
- Hassan: But I have never seen snow, master.
- Maroof: Allah be with you. All the paradise I seek is here. Who wants anything more? I shall stay behind.
- [Maroof gyrates along with a belly dancer]
- Melanthius: Oh, thank all the gods.
- Zenobia: The gods have abandoned you! Too late, Sinbad. Kassim will never be caliph!
- [last lines]
- Dione: They're coming!
- Melanthius: Where's Maroof?
- [Sinbad shakes his head, silently affirming Maroof's death]
- Melanthius: Come. We must not waste a moment.
- Farah: As cunning as a snake, as malicious as a shark! But, Rafi will never be caliph!
- Zenobia: There is no one to prevent it.
- Farah: Melanthius will prevent it!
- Zenobia: Melanthius is a myth and his powers are a legend. He does not exist.
- Sinbad: We shall soon discover if the myth and the legend exist. We sail tonight.
- Farah: Oh, my beloved, may your days always be blessed.
- Melanthius: Dione, speak to him. Gently. They have no idea of language; but, these primates were known for their gentleness with females.
- Zenobia: [casting a spell on Sinbad's ship] Dark night, wrap them in deep slumber! Silent seas, sink them in bottomless sleep! Let all who sail with Sinbad find their eyes too heavy to keep watch!
- Farah: Do you hear chanting? A woman's voice from far across the sea.
- [yawns]
- Farah: It would be a fine bedtime song for children.
- Dione: We are not children! We must think of Sinbad and remain alert.
- [the chanting continues, and soon both girls are asleep]
