Jack Mercer: Popeye

Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves

Popeye

Abu Hassan: [toying around] Look, look, look, see!
Popeye: Huh?
[With a laugh, Abu Hassan steals Popeye's belt]
Popeye: Hey, give me back me belt, I paid a good price for that!... Okay, watch this one. Abba-dabba-dabba!
[Popeye pulls out Abu Hassan's underwear]
Popeye: Abu Hassan got them anymore!
Abu Hassan: You want to make fool from me, eh?
Popeye: Ah, nature beat me to it!

Abu Hassan: Oh, you little tough, eh?
Popeye: [flattered] I make a pretty good model, huh? Take me home for a dollar ninety-eight, for half the price. How good is that?

[Popeye is thrown down a well]
Popeye: Hey, what is this, a wishing well or something? I wish I was out of this place, that's what I wish...
[a shark appears and makes several leaps to bite Popeye]
Popeye: Whoa! It's just a little flounder... Whoa! It's just a little snapper... Whoa! Hey, if you love me, I'll bite your teeth out! Whoa!... Oh, yeah?
[sees the forty thieves laughing at him from above]
Popeye: Oh, boy, somebody's gonna be sorry for this!
[claps the shark's jaws shut]
Popeye: That'll hold you for a while!

[the forty thieves attack in fives]
Popeye: [delivering punches] Five, ten, fifteen, twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, forty!

[last lines]
[Popeye, Olive and Wimpy return all the stolen goods to the citadel, in a carriage driven by Abu Hassan and his forty thieves]
Popeye: I may be a shorty, but I licked the forty / I'm Popeye the Sailor Man!

[crossing the desert]
Popeye: I wish there was a boardwalk on this beach. If I had some bread I'd make a sandwich if I had a which...

Abu Hassan: Open sesame!
Popeye: [hidden, waiting for Abu Hassan] Open what?
[a secret door opens and Abu and his thieves go in]
Popeye: [rushing up] Wait for me! Wait for me!
Abu Hassan: Close sesame!
[the door shuts just as Popeye reaches it]
Popeye: I wonder what that word was he used when he opened this door? Open sissy! Open sayso! Ah, that can't be it.
[charges at the door, but it won't budge]
Popeye: It's givin' way, it's givin' way! No, that was me givin' way.

[the trio come across a red light in the desert]
Popeye: Rest!
[they rest for a minute, the light turns green and they proceed on]
Popeye: Come on, we got the green light with us, You know, I could go for an ice cold chocolate soda right now...

Popeye: [to Abu Hassan] Hey, you gotta give back all them jewels to the people you took!
[notices a chained Wimpy]
Popeye: Oh, hello, Wimpy. How did you get in here, young fella?
[kicks a chicken over to Wimpy]
