The Old Man of the Mountain
- Achmed Abdullah: My gift cannot share your couch, my dear friend, but I know how much you love animals.
- [he gestures towards a tiger]
- Achmed Abdullah: . Does she please you?
- The Old Man of the Mountain: Ohhh... a well-matched exchange, worthy of two old friends who trust each other.
- Achmed Abdullah: It is difficult to fully trust a friend whose face one never sees. I would consider it a friendly act if you removed your golden mask.
- The Old Man of the Mountain: It is a friendly act that I do not remove it. All who see my face - die!
- Achmed Abdullah: But your assassins
- [gesturing towards them]
- Achmed Abdullah: all see your face.
- The Old Man of the Mountain: And all die. And go to paradise the moment I tell them their time has come.
- Achmed Abdullah: But the women... the women you love, surely you remove your mask for them?
- The Old Man of the Mountain: Oh, if you only knew how much it hurts me to lose so many loved ones...!
- [he sighs heavily]
- The Old Man of the Mountain: Do you still wish me to remove my mask?
- Achmed Abdullah: Who me? Did I ask for that? No!
