Once upon a time in a little town in the Orient...

...there was a fine fellow named Ali-Baba.

Ali-Baba

Ali, Ali-Baba

Ali, Ali, Ali-Baba...

from the mosque into the casbah.

When I'm seen they'll call to me...

Hello, Ba-ba Goodbye, A-li!

Always happy... Never in a rush...

I don't need much to do my best...

And if by chance things go downhill...

I tell myself it's Allah's will.

A-A-Ali-Baba

Ali, Ali, Ali, Ali-Ba-ba

A-A-Ai-Ba-ba

Baba

Howdy, Ali.

- Howdy, Ali. How's it going? - Hello, Ali.

The 12 most beautiful women in the world!

Here we have Leila...

And the even more beautiful Sitha a genuine Indian princess.

She was captured 6 months ago by Mongol bandits...

..and I bought her for her weight in gold.

Roll up! Roll up and take a look!...

Come and see the most beautiful girls in town!

Look at these almond eyes, the cheeks like peaches...

...her cherry mouth... And she's yours for 100 piastres.!

Fruit's expensive this year, eh?

Hello, my son...

My good friend!... Have pity on me!

Have pity on a poor father in his misery.

I'm forced to sell my only treasure...

My belovéd daughter!

See how beautiful she is!

You're just in time my friend...

Take a look!

These veils are hiding the most perfect beauty in the land.

That's all very well to say... We want to see her!

Yes! That's right!

Are you going to bother with this little girl?

When you've collected my rents, buy me one or two women.

And make sure they're nice fat ones, you blithering idiot!

20 piastres.

21.

50 piastres.

50 piastres? Come on, gentlemen!

51.

- 100 piastres. - 100 piastres! Any more bids?

101.

101!

150 piastres.

150 piastres! Any more bids?

Sold!

Take the money, and give me back the purse.

Are there 150 piastres in it?

Not one more. Not one less. You can count them.

Are you unhappy?

Isn't it painful to leave such a nice old father?

- My daughter's a virgin. - I hope you're right.

The woman is now yours.

She's not for me. Go on, grab your things.

Come on.

Goodbye, father-in-law!

Say, are you going to be blocking the road for long?

I have to do what my master tells me.

That's your bad luck... a free man can take his time.

My master's a free man...

...but he's always in a hurry, all the same.

Hey! Bird-seller! Are you listening to me?

- We'll go when we're ready to go. - Funny guy, eh?!

He's nice!

Look!

- How much? - 20 piastres.

20 piastres! Gosh... you can keep it.

Get going. I said, get going!

- 15 piastres. - Goodbye my friend.

See...

This is where I live.

You wicked man!

Is that what you've brought me?

Play.

Ali!

She's no good...

I told you to buy me a nice fat one!

She isn't nice and fat... but she's nice and beautiful.

- How much did you pay for that? - Just 150 piastres.

What? The price of a camel?

Look!

Ali-Baba!

Ali-Baba!

Be careful, sire!

What's the matter?

Your life is in danger!

Give me your hand!

- Feel your vein there. - So?

It's big... It's swelling up!

It'll burst!

Just sit quietly... I'll be right back.

Where are you going?

To the herbalist, for your potion... Just leave it to me.

Mohammed!

Take her to the harem.

I'll be there later.

- Good day! - How are you, Ali?

Do you need something from me? Who's sick?

- You or Cassim? - The mule.

What's wrong?

He's got rabies... He needs to be put to sleep.

How old is he?

As old as Cassim.

He should already be in mule heaven.

Quick... he's biting everyone.

How long do you want him to sleep?

- A week. - But your mule will die!

No danger of that... he's in perfect health!

In other respects, I mean... You understand?

Oh yes... there you are.

I'll give you the right dose.

Let me know how it works. That'd knock out an elephant.

I don't need that much!

Put it on Cassim's account.

Goodbye, Ali.

Get out of here... all of you!

Out! Out!

Where's the new little girl?

- Do you have the potion? - Yes.

Drink it up.

Go on!

That feels better.

You'll feel better and better... You'll see!

Thank you my friend.

Is the little one ready? Yes, sire.

I feel I'm going to enjoy great prowess!

Deep down, you are a good servant, after all!

No! No!

Let me go! Let me go!

In you go!

Let me go!

Don't be afraid...

Don't be afraid...

Don't be afraid...

Don't be afraid...

Don't be...

He's asleep. Get back to your room now!

Hurry... and above all, don't make any noise.

Off you go!

Don't worry... he'll be sleeping like that for quite a while.

- What's your name? - Morgiane.

Morgiane!

It's nice.

Are you unhappy?

What could we do to cheer you up?

Would you like a little cat?

Would you like a little dog?

The parrot?

You'd like the parrot!

I'll go find it.

I like talking with you.

Women's conversation usually wears me out...

...but I really like yours!

What are you doing in your room?

The master is sleeping.

Hello... what do you want?

I've come to buy your parrot... Get down.

Don't be silly!... I'd lose my place in the caravan!

Stop... I beg of you!

- Do you have the money? - Yes.

There... Check it.

- Take the cage behind you there. - Thanks.

Gee up!

- It's alright... I've got it! - Farewell, my friend!

Bandits!

Dismount!

Get hold of the camels!

Bring them with us!

Come on!

Open sesame!

Dismount!

Unload the camels... Be quick about it!

Unload! Quick! Unload!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Come on!

Quick! We have another task!

Shoo those camels away... Off you go!

Mount your horses!

Get a move on!

Sesame, close thyself!

You shut up!

Open sesame!

What's this?!...

You got out?

How did you do it?

Get back in there!

Back inside!

When I say: "Back inside, pretty birdie"... you get back inside!

Pretty birdie! If I catch you...

Pretty birdie! Where's my pretty birdie?

Now I'm in trouble!

Pretty birdie?

Pretty birdie!... You come here!

Pretty birdie!

Pretty birdie!

Pretty birdie! Come here...

Pretty birdie! There you are...

Pretty birdie!

Eh?... Pretty birdie!

What are you doing up there?

- Oh! The devil! - No, it's just me, Ali-Baba.

What's the matter?

- Go get my breakfast! - No.

No... I'm no longer in your service. I've resigned.

- I've had enough of you. - What?!

- Let's talk about the little girl. - What little girl?

The one I paid too much for... The one I bought for you.

Here's your money back.

5, 10, 15.

15 pieces of gold at 10 piastres each.

Where did you get this money?

Get your hands off me!

I'm a rich man, I am!

Very rich... A thousand times richer than you!

Look at this...

I could buy this house and have you as my servant.

But you're too bad as a master, to become a good servant.

I could buy the whole town.

I can't believe my luck!

Goodbye, Lord Cassim!

Ali!

Ali!

Ali! Where are you going?

I'm leaving. I quit my job with you.

Let me see that slave girl.

Certainly... Most certainly, my dear friend.

Food and drink... Send in the musicians!

Go fetch the new girl.

I want her to dance for my friend Ali-Baba.

Go on! Quick!

Ali-Baba... I've always thought of you as my son.

So that's why I was thrashed?

"Spare the rod and spoil the child."

That's it exactly!

Ali-Baba, my son...

...let's be good friends.

- Let's go sit down. - Sure!

- Tell me all about what happened. - Why?

No!

- We'll eat first. - Of course!...

...I'm famished! I was running a lot and that makes you really hungry.

Where's the girl?

There she is!

Come closer, my pet!

Come on... you're not his any more... I've bought you back!

Tell her to dance. I don't dare to.

My child... dance for us, my pet!

- You alright? - Yes.

You're a champ, Ali. It's a pleasure to have you at my table.

She's beautiful... You've made a good deal.

I see now I should have made a small profit on the deal.

- If that'd make you happy... - No... a deal's a deal.

But tell me, dear Ali...

Where have you found all this money.

Well... I found it...

Exactly that... Just that exactly... But exactly where?...

In a place you could never ever find!

- Some wine? - I only drink water.

You've never drunk wine?

- Never. - Not even in my cellar?

- Not even there. - Well! You really astound me!

But you must try some of this...

...because it's... It's wine from Cyprus.

Well, if it's from Cyprus...

Ali... Go on... Tell me your secret!

You want me to... Since we're friends now...

You'd really like to find out.

Well, you're not going to find out!

So... can you remember the magic words, or not?

That's it... it's coming back...

It's the name of a grain.

Stay right there... you'll see.

Open barley!

- That's not it. - You're kidding me!

I'll try something else.

Open oats!

- It doesn't like oats any more. - This is terrible!

Yes, it's terrible! That's it!

That's it... I remember.

It's a grain that gives oil.

Open olive!

"Olive"! That's a fruit.

It's a grain that gives oil.

Sunflower. Open, sunflower!

That's not it.

Sesame! Open sesame!

What's the matter?

Come on!

Come along, I said.

Here we are... look!

All this is for me!

Half!

Yes, yes...

He says yes now, but afterwards...

Cassim! Look at this beautiful sabre.

Here for stabbing... Here for slashing.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Here... I'll give it to you as a present.

You amuse yourself... I've got something else to do.

There they are!

Now... let's get serious...

Let me see now...

That's for a house...

It's a bit small though.

I'll enlarge it.

I was forgetting the garden.

A tree.

Two trees. Three trees.

A spindle tree... two spindle trees.

What next?

For my friends!

Had a look round?

All this, eh!

- What are you doing? - Me? Nothing!

Give me that.

Listen...

- What is it? - The thieves!

The thieves?!

Yes... come on, quickly!

- So... what is it? - I heard a noise.

Sesame, close thyself!

- Let's go. - Yes, let's go!

Ali!

Ali!

Ali-Baba!

Ali!

Come on.. get up! Lazybones! Up! Come on!

Look at that scoundrel!... Get up!

Follow me!

Ali-Baba has disappeared. I want him found at any price!

Search the house and gardens. Split up.

Incredible! Where are they all?

Let's see.

They've all gone out. We're on our own.

The master's gone out with all his men.

It's fantastic... We're on our own!

There's nobody in the passageways.

Let's look in the garden.

- Ali-Baba! - Good evening, lovely ladies.

Excuse me... Let me through.

Ali!

Let me through!

Get back all of you!

Well?

- No sign of him. - You imbecile!

So he's got away!

You let him escape... You imbeciles!

Come here!

Is that it?

You don't want to return to your father's?

- You'd rather stay with Cassim? - No.

At the right time!

But now you're free... Free as a bird!

Free as the wind. All you need is a lover.

I'll make sure you choose him for yourself.

So, come on...

Come and sit down and we'll talk about it.

Now, I see your lover as being the cheerful type.

Cheerful and rich.

Rich, but not too handsome.

Not too handsome and not too young.

No...

Young ones are egotists.

What are you doing there?

Just talking. I've brought your daughter. I'm giving her back to you.

A sale is a sale and I've no money to pay for her.

I wasn't asking for any... On the contrary...

I'm giving you some.

- More? - Yes.

I want that you can behave like a real father.

My beloved daughter... the joy of my old age!

I'll leave you two.

Ali-Baba!

Does it upset you to leave me?

Would you like me to come to see you?

Then, I'll come every month.

Not often enough perhaps?

I'll drop by every week.

Yes...

Let's pick a day... How about Saturday?

Exactly. Tomorrow is Saturday.

What a coincidence, that is... quite a coincidence!

So then... see you tomorrow.

Go on... get inside... there's laundry to be done!

Hurry up! Go on!

Lazybones!

You'll dance to MY tune now... That you will!

Well! Here's Ali!

Hi there, Ali!

What's in the bag?

If you were rich, what would you do?

I'd eat all day... Everything...

- Tomatoes, mutton... - Alright, alright...

- How about you? - I'd eat a lot.

And I'd buy myself some slippers.

- Me too... 3 pairs. - Yes, alright... and you?

Oh, I'd eat and get slippers...

- And I'd sleep in a house. - Me too!

Me too, of course!

I can understand that.

- And you? - Me?

I'd eat, get slippers... a house...

...and a wife. - Ah yes!

They're always handy to have.

I'd have a wife, too.

Me too!

Listen to me carefully...

All that you've just wished for...

...God will give to you, through me.

You'll be able to get what you need, and more.

There'll be no more poor people... I'll see to that.

I thank you God, for giving me these riches...

...allowing me to bring happiness to others.

And thanks for the beautiful Morgiane!

I know people ask a lot from you.

Fix it that she loves me a little...

...and not only for my money.

Hooray for Ali-Baba!

Vive Ali-Baba!

Hooray for Ali-Baba!

Hooray for Ali-Baba!

Lord Ali-Baba, here is the house.

- It's very pretty! - It is, isn't it.

Why are you selling your house?

If you need money... maybe I can help you.

- then you could keep it. - Thank you, that's very kind.

But, thank heaven, it's not that I need money.

I'm selling it because I'm leaving the town.

For the salvation of my soul, I'm making a long pilgrimage.

In that case... can I take a look?

Let's go in, Ali-Baba. You're home already.

Come on.

- Not bad, eh? - It might do.

In fact it's good.

- How much is it? - 10,000 piastres.

Give me 20,000 piastres.

Lord Ali! I don't know what to say to such generosity.

A mere trifle!

Would you like to come out on the terrace?

The view is magnificent... the loveliest in town.

Lord Ali-Baba... this is the terrace.

You have a view of the town...

And a view of the gardens.

I hope that you'll live here in peace.

The trees are very healthy.

My father's father planted them himself.

They're beautiful.

Over here is the slave-market.

Ah, my good friends! Pity me!

Pity a poor father in his misery.

I have to sell my only treasure!

My belovéd daughter... Look at her.

Come on!

Follow him!

70 piastres on my left...

-75. -75!

80.

Ali!

It's me again.

You... I thee wed.

Hooray for Ali-Baba!

- When's the wedding? - This evening.

Hooray for Ali-Baba!

- Peace be with you. - A poor man that I don't know!

You can't be from around here.

I want to tell you your fortune.

I'm happy. What more could you tell me?

When we find happiness, we believe it's for life.

The question is whether you'll hang on to it.

I wonder who could take it from me.

Firstly...

...for the present... you've found the woman of your dreams.

That's not very hard to work out!

And then...

- ...you have money. - It shows?

This fortune is inexhaustible.

You wouldn't believe how much.

I know where you got it.

I'd be most surprised if you did.

You got this money by simply saying two words.

Now you arouse my curiosity.

You'll keep this fortune...

...just as long as fate allows you to.

And then.

That's all.

Thank you my friend. Thank you.

I've enjoyed your company... Wait a minute...

Come.

It's been a pleasure meeting you.

The pleasure's all mine... Your humble servant.

Come on.

I also cast out evil spirits from people's homes.

That'd be good... You're invited to come this evening...

...to my wedding.

Thank you. Would you mind if I brought some friends along?

Not at all! Your friends are my friends. Bring them all!

- There may be quite a few. - How many?

- Forty. - Forty?

You must be a fine fellow to have so many friends!

See you this evening. Come on.

Come on children...

- There are cakes! - Then off you go!

Give them some cakes.

Fatima!

Thank you, Morgiane.

- You don't want any, my lady? - I'll eat later.

- How much money does your husband have? - I really don't care.

What?

I'd love him just as much if he were poor.

He's certainly been lucky.

I've embroidered it with gold thread.

That's going to be very expensive!

I've not worried about the cost.

Thank you.. You can be my tailor.

Look at my beautiful outfit!

- Superb. - Magnificent.

Let's go and eat now.

- Well? - He's finished getting dressed.

Good. I'll go in... Come, I'll show you.

I'll open this door for you.

Understood.

Out of the way!

I'm Ali-Baba's old boss.

Go in.

Stay hidden, you fools!

- Ali-Baba, salutations. - And to you, Cassim.

You left so quickly the other night...

...that Morgiane forgot something.

I never would have believed you so thoughtful, Cassim.

Why don't you come and sit with me.

And you... That's enough oranges.

Take them to your mistress.

And you give that parrot to my future wife,

...with Lord Cassim's regards.

Eat up!

May glory be yours, my lord!

Here's yet another friend... Come in, my dear chap.

Sit down! Make room!

Make room, I said!

You're on your own?

- You were bringing 40 beggars with you. - I came ahead of the others.

My friends will arrive a bit later.

I shall receive them with pleasure!

You are exceedingly hospitable, Ali-Baba.

You know my friend? Lord Cassim.

I believe I've seen him before.

From a distance.

He's an extraordinary soothsayer, if I'm any judge.

He only tells you things that are pleasant and true.

Come on, tell his fortune!

You have a very interesting hand.

It tells me a great deal.

The paths of your life are dark and tortuous.

You are cruel... greedy.

Hard on your underlings.

Servile to the great. This is like some sort of reptile!

He must have been a snake in a previous life.

He know everything.

Goodness me! You have an urgent need to purify your soul.

I know I have to do that!

I'll be making my pilgrimage to Mecca, this year.

Going to Mecca doesn't turn a snake into a pilgrim.

You're the snake.

Come on!

The line of your life stops there.

You're going to die soon.

You pity him? Happiness is in the paradise of Allah.

It's just that I don't think Cassim will get there.

- Ali-Baba! - Yes?

Quick! His Holiness the Mufti has arrived.

Let's not keep him waiting.

Now we'll be able to really get into the food.

Come on, all of you. You too.

Come on... it's the mufti!

Take a seat, Your Excellency.

I like your face. You must be a fine man.

Thank you, Your Excellency. We'll be right back.

I recognize all the dishes...

Couscous,

Lamb's heart kebabs...

Cranberry sauce. Should be good.

Don't forget to ask for my contribution BEFORE the ceremony.

People aren't so generous afterwards.

Ali-Baba.

Thank you, holy man, for putting yourself out for my wedding.

I appreciate your unselfishness.

I insist that you accept a gift.

No protests! It may not be much, but...

It's a token.

I like your face, Ali-Baba You must be a fine man.

I trust you.

Now my friends...

Let us be seated.

Where's Cassim? Have we lost him?

You've scared him off with your predictions.

Find him... He should be eating.

No... You stay there.

I'll go myself.

- Can we eat? - Let's eat!

Where are the musicians I hired?

They're there... They're waiting.

Look nice!

It's time... They're on the terrace.

I'll leave the door open.

Hey, beggar!

Here I am!

- What is it? - We've found Cassim.

- Is he feeling happier? - Very much so.

Cassim, you can't imagine how happy I am.

This evening, I'm savouring it... Life is sweet!

- Who cried out? - It was nothing!

- Nobody cried out. - No?

- Eat in peace, Ali-Baba. - I thought I heard something.

My guests are making a lot of noise!

Let them have fun!

- You only get married once. - That's true.

What's that? It's a hand!

It's the bandits!

- Yes the bandits - The bandit-chief.

Is that the bandit-chief?

The bandits!

What's happening?

Why are they running?

- Come on! - No. let me go!

- Come on! - Let me go!

Let me go!

No! Let me go!

Let me go!

No! Let me go!

There no such thing as "no"!

Quick... come on!

There he is!

Ali-Baba!

Ali-Baba said to the poor

"All that you've just wished for...

"...God will give to you, through me.

"You'll be able to get what you need, and more."

One day, to keep his promise...

...he took all of them to the magic cave.

Here it is!

Open sesame!

What are you doing?

Ali!

You're very nice, you know!

Come on...

Let's go home.
