- Please untie me.

If I were you, I'd start praying.

I'll do anything you want.

- Anything?

- I'll make up for it.

Sounds tempting...

But I can't do it.

You know why?

- You weren't very nice to me.

- But I apologized.

I pick you up, give you money,

talk to you.

And you?

You steal my purse and try

to fool me.

- What do you want?

- What I want?

You really want to know?

Are you familiar with the story

of the "Arabian Nights"?

Yes. No, not really.

Then prick up your ears.

Once upon a time there was a king.

His name was Shahryar.

One day he caught his wife in bed

with his kitchen servant.

She begged for mercy, but he

had her beheaded.

From then on the king was afraid that

all his wives would cheat on him.

Absurd, isn't it?

Big problem, but the solution

was obvious.

He asked the vizier,

his personal servant,

to bring him a virgin every night.

The next morning the ex-virgin's

head was cut off.

This went on for months

until the vizier had

trouble finding

new virgins for the king

and feared for his life.

But then the vizier's daughter

offered herself to the king.

The daughter's name was

Scheherazade.

Are you listening?

After the king took her virginity

she asked to tell a story.

He agreed and she narrated the

story of the Merchant and the Demon.

At first the king barely listened,

but the story grew ever

more exciting.

The smart girl didn't finish that

night and as morning broke,

the king was forced

to postpone her execution.

She continued the following night,

but she wove a second story into the

first and a third one into the second.

Again she left the end of

the story untold.

This went on for 1.001 nights.

Telling these stories,

the girl fought for her life.

As one day the story

finally came to an end,

she'd born many children

to the king.

And he had abandoned the idea of

killing the mother of his children.

Scheherazade told stories

for 1.001 nights.

You just have to tell me a story

for one night, and I'll let you go.

- I don't know any stories

- Make one up.

- I can't.

- You just aren't trying hard enough.

- Tell me about you.

- There's nothing to tell.

Than tell me about your parents.

Where do they live?

What do they do?

Do they have a dog?

While you are wasting time,

the cops are on their way.

So if you don't make up

a story right now,

you'll have a lot of time behind

bars to think of a story.

A young woman on vacation

had an affair with a Moroccan.

Back home she realized

she was pregnant.

She had a girl and named her Lilly.

Lilly was deaf in one ear.

When she was ten months old,

her mom took the baby

to her grandparents

and went looking for Lilly's

dad in Morocco.
