in humility and in piety, and above all in chastity, in patience and modesty. Each of us must know when to give proof of our modesty and when to show impertinence. And to act so as to be permanently exploring good. Because the state of perfection is modesty, and the state of evil is another kind of modesty. Will you come out for a second? - Are you listening to me? - Yes. Guards! Don't be afraid! - Who are you? - Who am I? - And who are you? - Who am I? - But who are you? - Princess Boudour. - Who? - The Princess Boudour. - That's all we needed. - Who's that mumbling there? Where's that voice coming from? It's a loafer who's listened to too many silly stories. Come here! - What's that? - Ajar. - And what's that? - That? - An oven! - An oven... For baking meat cakes. - You understand? - No. What is this mysterious monster? - It's a goat, not a monster. - Does it make the cheese? - How old are you? - I'm sixteen. I already knew what a goat is when I was three years old. They're looking for someone. Perhaps for the Bagdad thief. They're not looking for just one, but for forty of them. - Ah, it's you? - Yes, it's me. Why are you laughing? I know what you're going to ask me. What? I've already been asked by 17 princes. Poor princes. I refused them all. Then it's "no"? Why not? Go to my father and ask for my hand. And will you say "yes"? How should I know what I'll say? I'll say whatever comes to my head! The Princess is here! That's you again! - Tie him up! - Yes! Tie him! I hope Princess Boudour will forgive me! My Sultan, he's the one who dared gaze on the Princess twice. Sultan! It's real luck, my meeting you like this. I'm asking for the hand of Princess Boudour. - What did he say? - My tongue refuses to repeat it. Your daughter likes me and I like her. Only she says she won't marry me without your permission. Yes, sire. Our great Sultan asks whether you know, young man, that seventeen princes... Eighteen princes! That 19 princes have already come to ask for the fair Boudour's hand. She did tell me that. Before asking for marriage, you should offer the Sultan presents. - You mean rubies and emeralds? - Precisely! Oh, I forgot about that! I'll have them brought here right away. Do you have a treasure buried at your house? I've got no treasure. But I have a Genie friend. - What? - A Genie. Stay there! Throw him in the dungeon! Daughter of ours! - We're most displeased. - I'm the one who's displeased! You've refused all of the princes. There're no princes left. And you did it in order to end up in a beggar's hut. Don't you dare call him that bad name! - What name should I call him? - Aladdin! From now on we shall call by name every beggar and good-for-nothing. Shut up! Who is to shut up? Us? You will set him free at once and ask for his forgiveness. Those were your last words. We'll have you wedded today. - Try and see what happens. - I'll try. Well, so! - Remember it and write it down! - Write it down. We shall give our daughter and half our kingdom to... To the very first man to walk through that door. From now on, half our kingdom and our daughter belong to your son. Out of my way! Grab the Princess! No one has anything to suggest to us? - There is a way. - Speak up. Since your daughter went to Bagdad and acquired bad habits there, we should convince her that she never visited Bagdad. How? The Princess must be told it was just a dream. Since it was but a dream and nothing has happened to her, she will be obedient again. And the heart of our great Sultan will rejoice. And what does the Great Wiseman say? A dream's not that's not a dream, and not a dream is not a dream. So to say of not a dream that it's a dream is the same as to say of a dream that it's not. We order to say of a dream that it is not one, and of not a dream, that it's a dream...
