Quotes 

• Jaime Sommers : What am I going to do now? I don't know how to do the dance of the veils.

  Prince Ishmail : How can that be? My father says every woman knowns how to dance with the veils. Instinct tells them.

  Jaime Sommers : Ishmail, I don't know how to tell you this, but your father has gathered more misinformation about women than any other man I have ever met.

• Jaime Sommers : [to Oscar]  Now, you wanna tell me what I am doing in Monte Carlo, dressed like Mary Poppins, when everyone else is wearing postage stamps?

• Jaime Sommers : [entering the Shah's extravagent villa]  Well, if you got it, flaunt it, I guess.

• Jaime Sommers : Your majesty, I have some thoughts about Ishmail's lessons. Ehm, well it mind sound a little critical, could we speak alone, please?

  Ali Ben Gazim : We are alone.

  [Jaime glances at the veiled woman sitting at their table] 

  Ali Ben Gazim : This is only my wife, Ezelda.

  Jaime Sommers : How do you do?

  [Ezelda says nothing] 

  Ali Ben Gazim : You're excused, Ezelda.

• Jaime Sommers : Oscar, I don't like the idea of using my teaching or a child as a cover for a job. I mean, that's very personal, you know. In order to keep my head straight, I like to keep the OSI and my teaching very separate.

• Ali Ben Gazim : Polygamy is still allowed in our country. It's traditional. A woman's place has been clearly defined by centuries of experience. And that's why women are so content in our country. They know their place. Just as we men know what is good for them. Western men have never known how to handle their women. But eh, then your culture rarely produces real men any longer, isn't that true?

  Jaime Sommers : Ehm, they still seem to get the job done, you know.

  Ali Ben Gazim : Obviously weakness approves of weakness.

• Prince Ishmail : There is nothing I want to learn from you. You are excused.

  Jaime Sommers : That's my line.

• Prince Ishmail : Tell me, are many of your Western women like you?

  Jaime Sommers : Well, all women like to think they're a little unique. I'm sure your women would too if they were given the opportunity.
