Jasmine: Oh, Father, I just had the most wonderful time. I'm so happy.

Sultan: You should be, Jasmine. I have chosen a husband for you.

Jasmine: What?

Ha, ha! Praise Allah! You brilliant boy, I could kiss you. I won't. I'll leave that to my... But you two will be wed at once. Yes, yes. And you'll be happy and prosperous, and then you, my boy, will become sultan.

Prince Ali: Sultan?

Sultan: Yes. A fine upstanding youth such as yourself, a person of your unimpeachable moral character is exactly what this kingdom means.
