Arabian Nights Page #3

Synopsis: Dancer Sherazade was told by the stars that she will become wife of the kalif in Bagdad. She tells Kamar, brother of kalif Haroun. He planned a coup d'etat, which failed at first, but supported by the wasir he finally succeeds. Haroun is injured and gets help from Ahmad's actor troupe, where he is nursed by Sherazade, who doesn't recognise him. When she hears that Kamar is looking for her she goes to him, but is sold with the complete troupe of actors to slavery. They're able to escape, but Haroun is still in danger. To save him, Sherazade agrees to poison Kamar, but Haroun tries to establish his rulership first.

You, with the cart, forward!

Name of Allah, hurry!

Don't tire yourself

working so hard, Sinbad.

This calls to mind an experience

I had when I was a sailor.

We don't want to hear it.

I'd like less Sinbad the sailor,

more Sinbad the worker.

Stop your lies and lend a hand.

This particular voyage had

lasted for six long years.

Here's the body.

How do you know it's Haroun?

He wears a robe

and a ring of the Caliph.

Hail, O Kamar-Al-Zaman.

This day you shall mount the throne

of the Caliphs in your brother's stead.

My throne... and Sherazade's.

I have already sent the captain of

the guard to escort her here, my lord.

Nadan, you've helped me to

achieve my greatest happiness.

You'll not find me ungrateful.

To serve you loyally

is reward enough, my lord.

The captain has returned, my lord.

Let him enter.

Where's Sherazade?

I... I do not know, my lord.

- She has disappeared.

- You lie.

It is the truth, O mighty one.

The circus has gone

and all the players with it.

I can find no trace of them.

I tried, but...

Stop babbling like a fool.

The girl must be found. Take your men

and search every house in the city.

Find Sherazade and bring her here!

Captain, a word,

a word of interest to you.

I have great influence

with the Caliph.

I do not wish it to be

destroyed by a dancing girl.

Such a beautiful beard.

- He'll probably want to kill you!

- He'll thank me.

Oh, I still say we should have found

a doctor for that wound of his.

No, Aladdin, that's not it either.

Well? What are you doing?

Just what you told us,

keeping quiet and hiding.

Do you have to keep quiet so quietly?

There's work to be done.

Did you find out?

What of Kamar?

Allah protect us.

No one knows.

Bagdad is in such a turmoil and just

when we're doing so much business!

Is he still here?

Name of the prophet,

what have you done to him?

Anyway, who asked you to pick up

dying strangers in the street

- to share my quarters and eat my food?

- He's eaten none of your food.

Hear that? He's awakening.

Hungry, I'll wager my life.

Quiet, fat one.

Kamar.

- Kamar.

- Kamar is not here.

Who are you?

Who...

We are your friends.

But this place,

how have I come here?

I...

- Who dared?

- I was your barber, good sir.

It was necessary.

The followers of Kamar are everywhere.

Everywhere, are they?

Well, I'll...

You're weak from loss of blood.

I'm afraid I need food

and something to drink.

I knew it!

See? I told you. He's a beggar.

Now see here, you. If you would share

in our food, you must work.

What can you do?

Can you juggle, stand on your head?

That's it!

You... standing on your head.

- It wasn't a dream.

- No, it certainly was not.
