Quotes 

• Jaime Sommers : Your majesty, I have some thoughts about Ishmail's lessons. Ehm, well it mind sound a little critical, could we speak alone, please?

  Ali Ben Gazim : We are alone.

  [Jaime glances at the veiled woman sitting at their table] 

  Ali Ben Gazim : This is only my wife, Ezelda.

  Jaime Sommers : How do you do?

  [Ezelda says nothing] 

  Ali Ben Gazim : You're excused, Ezelda.

• Ali Ben Gazim : Polygamy is still allowed in our country. It's traditional. A woman's place has been clearly defined by centuries of experience. And that's why women are so content in our country. They know their place. Just as we men know what is good for them. Western men have never known how to handle their women. But eh, then your culture rarely produces real men any longer, isn't that true?

  Jaime Sommers : Ehm, they still seem to get the job done, you know.

  Ali Ben Gazim : Obviously weakness approves of weakness.

• Ali Ben Gazim : Quite good is not sufficient. Ishmael is to be king one day. And for that reward, excellence is barely acceptable. His people have a right to expect nothing less.

• Ali Ben Gazim : A girl who doesn't feel she had to talk all the time is a rare find.
