• 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!
