- The Djinn: Just like the old days, Michael. The angels running before the Djinn like sheep.
- St. Michael the Archangel: We won the war.
- The Djinn: You won the battle. The war goes on!
- Diana Collins: [opened the box and freed the fire opal] I pressed it, and open sesame. Well, I mean I'm sure you would've figured that out in seconds.
- Professor Joel Barash: No, no. Don't... don't minimize your accomplishments, Diana. You, you're my best student, and-and this, this is... this is a remarkable discovery.
- Diana Collins: Thank you.
- Professor Joel Barash: Well, you know what? I think... I think this is a case for celebration. Have you had dinner?
- Diana Collins: Actually, no, but...
- Professor Joel Barash: Excellent! I'll pop open a vintage chardonnay and we can decipher these inscriptions. And... and maybe you can tell me a little about yourself. Beyond academia, of course, like... We spend so much time together, and the truth is, I hardly know you, Diana.
- Diana Collins: I'm sorry, professor, I...
- Professor Joel Barash: Oh, no.
- Diana Collins: I have plans. I'm really sorry.
- Professor Joel Barash: Oh, I see... No.
- Diana Collins: Um, you know, if I could change them, I... In any case, I don't think my boyfriend would understand.
- Professor Joel Barash: I don't appreciate your insinuation, Diana.
- Diana Collins: Oh, no, I didn't mean it like... I mean, um... Good night, professor.
- Diana Collins: I wish to invoke the spirit of the angel Michael to help me stop you.
- Professor Joel Barash: Clever girl.
- Greg Janson: Hello, professor. What are you doing up here?
- Professor Joel Barash: Social call.
- Greg Janson: Anyone I know?
- Professor Joel Barash: Intimately.
- Greg Janson: Look, professor, whether you're aware of it or not, Di's dealing with some pretty heavy issues right now. I know she doesn't need you adding to them.
- Professor Joel Barash: What I know, young man, would make you insane.
- Greg Janson: I trust my girlfriend, professor.
- Professor Joel Barash: Do you, indeed?
- Greg Janson: Implicitly.
- Professor Joel Barash: I see. Well, certainly, I want what's best for Diana too, and if you wish it, I will leave you in peace.
- Greg Janson: I thank you.
- Professor Joel Barash: [Reveals his true face then grabs Greg] Tell her... three wishes. Otherwise the souls closest to her will perish... Horribly.
- [releases Greg who runs away]
- Professor Joel Barash: Run and tell, little boy.
- The Djinn: Where is my waker?
- Professor Joel Barash: If you are real, I... I can't answer that.
- The Djinn: A learned man. One who knows of me. I am honored.
- St. Michael the Archangel: Who freed you from the pit, demon?
- The Djinn: The same girl who wished you here.
- The Djinn: Where is my waker?
- Professor Joel Barash: I... I don't... I don't... I don't know exactly. I swear to you.
- The Djinn: As you wish!
- [about to leave]
- Professor Joel Barash: Please! Just... just give me a chance.
- The Djinn: [turns around and approaches Professor Joel Barash] Wish, please.
- Professor Joel Barash: And if I do?
- The Djinn: Then your indiscretions shall remain our secret.
- Professor Joel Barash: I wish... For the most beau... No. I wish for the two women whom I find to be the most beautiful in the world to be in love with me and to be right here at this very moment.
- The Djinn: Done!
- The Djinn: I can help you.
- Professor Joel Barash: I don't need help.
- The Djinn: Come now, professor, you reek of loneliness from your every pore. End your misery forever. Any woman, true perfect love for all eternity. Surely a man of your erudition can properly couch such a wish.
