• [disguised as an apprentice barber, Princess Fakzia is forced to listen as Hajji and his friends discuss her failings] 

  Hajji Baba : But I hear the Princess Faksia...

  Osman Aga : ...Is beautiful, eh? I hear so, too, but as you yourself said this morning, she's cruel and selfish.

  Caoush : And I have it from one of her handmaidens that she's not even beautiful. Her mouth is large, she has no salt in her complexion, her teeth are crooked and, as for her waist, it is as fat as an elephant's. Her feet - a camel has smaller.

  Princess Fakzia : That's a lie!

• Hajji Baba : Once I thought she loved me.

  Osman Aga : Then take her!

  Hajji Baba : From Norel-Din?

  Osman Aga : Why not?

  Hajji Baba : He's a prince; a great and powerful prince. I-I am a barber.

  Osman Aga : Aw, I despair for you. Without courage, one can neither be a merchant nor a prince.

• Princess Fakzia : I will see you are amply rewarded.

  Osman Aga : I have an ancient prejudice against promises.
