- Zigzag: I conjure demons, and charm beasts! And birds of prey, too! Phido!
- [makes Phido go through hoops]
- Zigzag: But as you see, that's not all I can do! Haha! Hee-hee! I have power over people, too, though they may appear complex. For me... they fall like playing cards... and I control the decks!
- [brandishes deck of cards with tricks but they slip up]
- Zigzag: Ah! Eh-heh! Ho ho! Ah! Hee-hee! But all this is nothing for now in my hand is the very key to the Golden land, for no man can take it, no matter how great, unless he possesses these three balls

- The Thief: Rule number one: Keep your eye on the wire and have feet like a monkey. Rule number two: It's always good to wear underwear when you're up this high, otherwise you could attract a sizable crowd. That brings us to rule number three. Rule number three... what's rule number three? I always forget rule number three. Rule number one: eyes and feet, rule number two: underwear.
- Zigzag: [as he is being eaten by crocodiles] Ow, my bottom! Ow, my top! Greedys, don't you ever stop?
- The Thief: [lifts smallest ball off mineret] You're gonna buy me a castle by the sea.

- Tack the Cobbler: Y-yes, ma'am.
- Tack the Cobbler: [after Princess Yum-Yum and Nanny leave] Nothing wrong with being a cobbler. Why can't I ever talk when it matters?
- [Majestic Films version]
- Princess Yum Yum: This life I live in regal splendor seems a waste. If I could help Father, instead of just sitting as his side. If I could help just one person, maybe then he'd understand there's more to me, I'd be doing something useful.

- [Majestic Films version]
- Princess Yum Yum: [singing] But she is more than this / There's a mind in the body of this pretty miss!
- Princess YumYum (1992 workprint): [referring to Tack] *Who* is this?
- Zigzag: O Greatest King of all the Earth, this lowball
- [uses cane to stop Tack from walking off]
- Zigzag: cobbler of no worth, attacked me in the square today! Shall we take his head away?
- King Nod (original version): [waking up] What? No, no, if you really think so, Zigzag.
- Princess YumYum (1992 workprint): But what has he done?
- Zigzag: [takes tack from Tack's mouth] A*ttacked* me!
- Princess YumYum (1992 workprint): *Really*?
- Zigzag: [hisses] Yes!
- King Nod (original version): [wakes up] AAAH! WHAT IF THE BALLS ARE TAKEN AWAY?

- [Miramax version]

- Old Tack: Many years ago, long before I was king or even a prince, when I was just a simple shoemaker, an army of evil one-eyed men with a terrifying war machine had conquered all the land, with the exception of one small city, a golden city, dedicated to reason and goodness. Many before had tried to destroy it, but never succeeded, for high, atop the city's tallest minaret, were three golden balls, whose magic protected it from the evil outside. Secure, under the golden balls, the city could sleep at night, and so could its king. In fact, the king could sleep anytime he wanted, so he did. Everyone called him King Nod. Unfortunately, the king forgot the ancient prophecy, that if the three golden balls were ever removed, the city would fall to doom and destruction. So once again, good will be tested against evil. The terrible One-Eyes were on the march.
- [original version]
- Narrator (original version): It is written among the limitless constellations of the celestial heavens, and in the depths of the emerald seas, and upon every grain of sand in the vast deserts, that the world which we see is an outward and visible dream, of an inward and invisible reality... Once upon a time there was a golden city. In the center of the golden city, atop the tallest minaret, were three golden balls. The ancients had prophesied that if the three golden balls were ever taken away, harmony would yield to discord, and the city would fall to destruction and death. But... the mystics had also foretold that the city might be saved by the simplest soul with the smallest and simplest of things. In the city, there dwelt a lowly shoemaker, who shall be known as Tack the Cobbler. Also in the city... existed a Thief, who shall be... nameless.
- [Miramax version]
- Tack the Cobbler: Legend has it, that each shooting star is really an Arabian Knight riding across the heavens. And at the center at every star is an ancient story untouched by time. Long before the heroic tales of Aladdin and Ali Baba, the first Arabian Knight was chosen. But where would destiny find someone so courageous and pure of heart? Amid the swirling sands of the great Arabian desert, was the golden city of Baghdad. And at its center, an enchanted castle, dedicated to reason and goodness. High atop its tallest tower, were three golden balls, whose magic protected it from the evil King One-Eye and his army of darkness. According to the prophecy, if the balls were ever removed, Baghdad would be in great danger. With only the golden city left to conquer, the terrible One-Eyes were on the march.
