- Omar: Hmm, it's wonderful to love and die together... the eternal law of unhappy lovers. You'll be married in death!
- Sharif: Omar, stop!
- Omar: Why?
- Sharif: You must not - as a warrior for the tournament, his person is sacred.
- Omar: [laughs manically] Fortune is against you. You were to die a quick death. Instead, now you're going to die a slow and agonising death, in personal combat. And Fatima, she's going to watch you die. And then she'll be buried alive in the coffin with you
- Sinbad: Praise be to Allah, I'll meet you in combat. You may not touch Fatima until the end of the tourney.
- Omar: That is my right and my privilege.
- Sinbad: Fatima is my woman. And the woman of a man condemned to death is sacred.
- Omar: You have but a short time to live. Sharif, I hold you responsible for him. Guard! Take him away. Farida, take Fatima to the harem.
