"Come to me, lovely curlew" "You violin from heaven" "Mr. Qeshta, if not for Alia you'd never see me again" "No way.. that's improper" "Are you still mad at me?" "Be forgiving.. squabbling is for loved ones" "Nothing can part us, dad" " It's trivial, it's over" " Yes, it's over" "Let me kiss your head." "What noble manners" "Alia was right to reproach me regarding you" "Must you tell him, dad?" "I must." "He must know the torment you suffered for the cheat" "My torment is ended."

" And you're laughing?" " What do you want?" "That I cry?" "Good on you, Kahramana" "I wish I could kiss your hand for these tricks" "If you pull one of your tricks on Me" "I'll put you in the lantern" "Because she fears for you and wants to keep Qeshta's gang away?" "Boqo, stay out of this" "Out till when?" "We were fine already" "Why return to those idiots?" "Even so, you preferred them to the girl who loves you, Semsema" "You left her crying after promising to take her to the party" "Tell him, the bucket" " Me a bucket?" " Who said bucket?"

"I'll marry you, dear" "Marry me?" "How nice!" "Should I marry a genie and have little genies?" "Why not?" "I'm no ordinary genie" "My father has ten palaces with walls of gold, diamonds and pearls" "And a cheap lantern?" "He was mad at me for loving you" "I gave up everything for you" "How nice!" "Next you'll tell me we went to school together" "Shame!" "Have you forgotten our school days too?" "How could I?" "Didn't we graduate primary school 2 years ago?" "!" "2 years.. are you kidding?" "No way, José !" "No way, José?" "What's that mean?" "Why did you say that?" "Semsema.." "I like her and find her words on my tongue" "She better or Alia?" "Alia" "Me or Alia then?" "How is she better than me?" "Her face" "Her wits.. her figure or her dancing?" "1.. 2.. 3.." "1.. 2.. 3.." "Don't take offense, Semsema I've worked with them for years" " I couldn't refuse" " I said nothing" "But you're different" "Me?" "Not at all I'm like I am everyday" "Did I know you yesterday?" "I've known you for a full 7 days" "Why worry, sir?" "Let's focus on rehearsal" "Sir.." "Mr. Fever and Miss Flu are waiting outside" "So we're in for rough luck" " Who?" "Qeshta and Alia?" " Who else are diseases?" "Go, catch the flu.. go on" " Alia" " Hello, Asfour" " Roses too?" " The least we can do" "They don't compare to your daily flowers.. remember?" "Sure I do" " Think those days will return?" " Sure they will" "A pretty couple.. no doubt you were made for each other" "I was too cruel to you when you asked for my daughter's hand in marriage.. she's yours now" " Have you really accepted?" " I can't say no to such loyalty" "Oh, Asfour.. this is my happiest day" "Yes, me too, but I.." "No buts" " Everyone must learn the news" " Without first.." "Without." "We must say that due to this occasion both theaters will be merged under one management.. yours" " But we must first.." " Don't thank me" "Come here, everyone" "I am proud to announce the marriage of art to art" "The merging of song and dance" "My daughter Alia will be married to the great composer the original artist.." "Asfour" " Bravo, sir" " Congratulations" "It's no wedding, but a funeral" "No way, Mr. Asfour." "If you marry her, I'll abandon you" "It's not by force" "You're upset and so is Kahramana" "It's not you who'll marry" "I'm not the only one.. the whole band are upset" "And the catastrophe is that Semsema left us" " Semsema left?" " Yes" " Without telling me?" " Tell you?" "How can she when you replaced her?" "You've upset me.. but that's my luck" "It's not too late." "Tell Kahramana and she.." "Servant in your hand Do you command?" "I can't go back on my word now" "May God bless the wedding, Mr. Qestha" "May your kids be next" "Asfour, the ma'zoun isn't here yet" " We're in no hurry" " We should send someone" "Why?" "No need" "Congratulations, Asfour." "I wasn't coming, but to avoid upsetting you" "I came to your wedding" "Thanks Boqo." "You're next" "To God we all return one day" "A wedding indeed !" "Fear not, Boqo.. the wedding won't take place" "How much longer, driver?" "I have a wedding" "I can't tell what happened to the motor" "It was fine for 10 years.. now it stops!" "Please.." "I'm running half an hour late" "What am I to do?" "I wonder who jinxed me" " It's ten-thirty" " Where's-the ma'zoun?" "May be he has another wedding" "I don't know, but for a wedding to be late is bad" "Right you are" "You reminded me." "The last time the ma'zoun was 5 minutes late" " The groom died" " Poor thing" ", No worries, Mr. Asfour all will be well" "Don't sit there.." "Play something.. dance, lady" "Who do you love while I long for you?" " Is it done?" " Yes, I know my car" "I can't believe it let me down" "Hurry, please" " Asfour.." "Asfour" " Yes, dear?" "What trick is this?" "It's 11 and the ma'zoun isn't here" "What will people say?" "How could you?" " What fault is it of mine?" " Find a way" " Alright.." "Kahramana" " A servant in your hand" "Get me a ma'zoun now" "Me get you a ma'zoun?" "And let you marry a woman I know is tricking you?" " Just do as I say?" " As you say?" "Alright" "I will regardless of consequences" "Oh, my.. what did I tell you?" "Since you're in love with another" "You should have told me and I'd leave you" "Dad, what's happening?" "I've no inkling what's happening" "Asfour.." "Don't ask.." "I see, but what can I do?" "See what?" "Can this happen to Alia's wedding?" " What are you doing?" " There's more" "More?" "I'll show you!" "See if I don't return you to the lantern" "To hell !" " Kahramana" " Your wish is my command" "You'll return with me Kahramana" "Forgive him this once.. he knows not what he does" "I can't help it.." "I gave him bliss, and he threw it away" "I'll try a second time" "Try?" "What use is it?" "However you try he won't accept his lot" "Who accepts his lot?" "Don't believe me?" "Come with me" "See all these?" "Greed and selfishness and materialism have blinded them" "Qeshta cares not for his daughter's joy but her dowry" "Alia cares not who makes her happy, but rich" "Asfour is carried along by the current and can't tell what's good" "As for Boqo, who is a true friend.. he's helpless" "Keep dancing.." "No matter how hard you dance, you only get your lot" "Clowns in the hand of fate" " Trust me.. our world is better" " A servant in your hand" "Kahramana, where are you?" " Boqo, help me" " Boqo, my foot!" "What happened?" "What are you wearing?" "These are my old clothes" "You poor swindler, who trick decent girls" "Daddy.." "Daddy" "Where is he?" "Tell me.." "What rubbish is this?" "Are we here so you can mock us?" " Kahramana" " Kahramana who, you madman?" "Is he the one you left Mimi Bey for?" "Kahramana, don't do this to me" " You deserve worse" " Come with me" "Damn you, may we never see you again" "Go to hell" "Come to me" "I love your great ideas Tell me" "Whose trick was this?" "Yours or Kahramana's" "What trick, Boqo?" "The one you played on the guests to spoil the wedding" " You think so?" " Sure.. tell me.." "where's Kahramana, so we can go to our new home?" "Who knows where Kahramana is now?" "She must be sleeping in the lantern" " The lantern is gone, Boqo" " What?" " Gone?" "Gone how?" " I threw it out the window" " Window?" "What window?" " The palace window" "The palace window?" "You threw it out yourself?" " Yes" " Did you say yes?" "!" "And you stand here like a log?" "Damn you" "Let's go find it before someone steals it" "Let's go, man" "Are you sure the palace was here?" "Don't you know?" "All surroundings are the same" "I'll go nuts" "Has she disappeared into thin air?" "We lose everything at once?" "Frankly, I'm the fool" "I couldn't preserve what I had" "Fool !" "Right you are !" "Are you crazy?" "Everything?" "What are you?" "You're no human" "Go before me.. may God damn your house" "He has already" "Let's go." "It's no use" "Hurry along.. come on" "You've made me suffer with you" "We're back to the pull and push brand" "Tomorrow, instead of awaking to Banura and Kahramana you'll awake to Bahluq and Faka and the jinx, lady Warda" "Get in, so I can push you" "Get in, you've brought me trouble.. damn you" " Oh, my head.. good morning" " Morning, lady Warda" " How are you?" " Terrible." "I had a bad night" "What was that noise in the alley?" " What noise?" " Who knows?" "One can no longer survive in this alley" "I wish I were rich and lived in Garden City" "Boy, it's hot" "My oh my.. in the name of Allah" "Why are you back, juggler?" "Say good morning first" "You're the nervy one!" "Where were you all this week?" " I was eating nuts" " Nuts?" "You kidding?" "Rather than pay me?" "Ever since I knew you, I couldn't buy a whole pack of cigarettes" "Have some sense and pay me now" "Instead of cigarettes, smoke a waterpipe" "Keep your voice down.." "he'll awake" "What happened to your eyes?" "Where did he go?" "He's singing abracadabra in the alley.." "Pay up, now, I won't let you go" "I have no money for dinner Get up" "Here, eat.. move" " Your acquaintance is bad" " Here's the rifle" " Get lost" " Sir.." "Any news?" "None.." "I just came from El-Masry No answer" "Make another ad" "Finished the operetta?" "I am in no mood" "What?" "No mood?" "What's mood got to do with work?" "Enough with the delay What'll people say?" "We opened for one day only" "We want to come up with something great this time" "Patience, Boqo" "I have no patience, the ad for opening night is tomorrow" "Will you go home, or shall I let the driver wait?" "You go home.." "I'll close shop" "Oh my love why have you been long gone?" "Oh my love do your call, have you forgotten?" "I wished.." "you'd come and let me see you" "I wished.."

"Shall I forget Kahramana?" "She was my life" "Are you sorry to lose Kahramana or what she gave you?" "I want Kahramana only.." "I want nothing else" "Please, give her back" "How short-sighted man is" "He clings on to dreams and escapes reality" "Kahramana was a dream, Asfour It's over" "Fate always makes up for one thing with another" "Look around you and you'll find Kahramana's not lost as you think" "You mean to say Semsema?" "Yes, Kahramana and Semsema are One" "They're one?" "How you made me rest easy" "But what's the use?" "I lost even Semsema, I lost everything" "Don't be ungrateful, Asfour" "You have your youth, art and work" "Why ignore these?" " Is my love of no consequence?"
