Quotes 

• Alexandra Amberson : What happens if I wished you dead?

  The Djinn : Why, how remarkably original of you, Alexandra. I'll tell you what. I'll give you one free wish. A sample. Just to get you in the spirit of the game.

  Alexandra Amberson : All right. I want you to destroy yourself. Blow your brains out. Right now

  The Djinn : Very well.

  [He picks up a gun, presses it under his chin, and pulls the trigger, blowing off the top of his head] 

  The Djinn : [wound heals instantly, surprising Alexandra]  That which is eternal cannot die. But if it's any consolation sweet Alex, THAT HURT LIKE HELL!

• Alexandra Amberson : A djinn? A genie?

  Wendy : Now hold on a minute. Forget what our culture has made of the Djinn. Forget Barbara Eden. Forget Robin Williams. To the people of ancient Arabia, the Djinn was neither cute not funny. It was something else entirely. It was the face of fear itself.

• The Djinn : My patience wears thin.

  Alexandra Amberson : What are you going to do, kill me? Where's your third wish then?

  The Djinn : I don't need you dead, Alexandra. I just need you to wish you were.

• Alexandra Amberson : If there's no hope, no magic, I'll have to rely on myself.

  The Djinn : [as Wendy]  Match wits with a creature older than time? Match wits with a prince of the dark dominions? Pit your tiny twentieth century mind against one who walked the spaces between the worlds, and trod the wings of angels beneath his conquering feet? Alexandra, you're a delight! Really, you are.

• Alexandra Amberson : Where's Wendy?

  The Djinn : Bedroom. But I wouldn't go in there if I were you. Messy. I needed her face.

  Alexandra Amberson : You killed her.

  The Djinn : Actually, I can't kill anyone. Not unless they wish me to. Your research should have told you that.

  Alexandra Amberson : She didn't wish to be dead, you lying sack of shit!

  The Djinn : I showed her my true face. Her reaction wasn't very flattering. As a matter of fact, she got downright hysterical! I merely asked if she wished to be released from her fear. You're a dangerous person to know, Alexandra. Your scientist friend, your boss, the policeman, Wendy. By the by-where is that tasty little sister of yours today?

  [licks upper lip slowly] 

• [last lines] 

  Alexandra Amberson : So what are we doing tonight?

  Josh Aickman : 'We?'

  Alexandra Amberson : Oh, what's the matter, Josh? Are you afraid of the complications?

  Josh Aickman : Um...

  Alexandra Amberson : You know what? I think this could help.

  [puts hat on Josh's head] 

  Alexandra Amberson : Does that help?

  Josh Aickman : ...Yeah. Yeah, where are we going tonight?

  Alexandra Amberson : Dinner and movie?

  Josh Aickman : With me?

  Alexandra Amberson : Yeah.

  Josh Aickman : Yeah, yeah. I was thinking more about, um... about hot dogs and a ball game.

  Alexandra Amberson : [laughs, kisses Josh]  Yeah.

  Josh Aickman : Um, are you... Are you alright?

  Alexandra Amberson : [winks] 

  Josh Aickman : Alex?

• Wendy : [referring to Raymond Beaumont]  What an insufferable prick that man is. Still, it's not your problem. Unless, of course, you're stupid enough to be working for him.

  Alexandra Amberson : [shaking her head]  No.

  Wendy : Or sleeping with him.

  Alexandra Amberson : [slightly disgusted]  No.

  Wendy : Oh good. Well, that establishes your discerning good taste.

  [turns her attention to something else, then addresses Alex without looking at her] 

  Wendy : Uh-huh. What can I do for you?

  Alexandra Amberson : [assertively]  Absolutely nothing at all until I can get your full attention.

  Wendy : [turns and stares at her, Alex stares right back]  I like you.

• Etchison : [about the fire opal]  Hey, Clegg gave me a couple hundred. Did I get fucked?

  Alexandra Amberson : [walking away]  Royally.

• Alexandra Amberson : If you harm Shannon, I'll kill you.

  The Djinn : [showing Alexandra his Djinn form]  Spare me child. Behold my true face

  Alexandra Amberson : [scared]  Oh my God.

  The Djinn : Yes. The shit just... hit the fan, didn't it?

• Raymond Beaumont : My room of lost gods. Once worshiped, now forgotten. Every culture of ancient history. See that down there? That was the space reserved for Ahura Mazda.

  Alexandra Amberson : Yes. What is exactly Ahura Mazda?

  Raymond Beaumont : It's the objects I collect, Alex, not the theologies they represent. But for what's its worth, he was a monotheistic deity of the Zoroastrian religion.

  Alexandra Amberson : So he was a god of good then?

  Raymond Beaumont : Certainly. Interestingly, though, legends has it that the opposing force, if you will, was actually his own shadow. So, in a way, he himself was the source of evil.

• The Djinn : No more doors. No more rules. No more excuses. Make your wish.

  Alexandra Amberson : I will not wish.

  The Djinn : Really? Not even when I show you the latest addition to Beaumont's collection? The final flowering of his wish.

  Alexandra Amberson : What?

  Alexandra Amberson : A little masterpiece of my own. I call it "Sister, why have you forsaken me?"

  [close in on a portrait of Shannon] 

  Alexandra Amberson : Oh, God! Shannon!

  The Djinn : Rather a good likeness, don't you think? I especially relish the trapped animal look in the eyes.

  Alexandra Amberson : You vicious son of a bitch.

  The Djinn : You don't approve? All right then, fuck it! You know what I say: "If you can't beat 'em, burn them, baby."

• Alexandra Amberson : [the Djinn is being sucked into the fire opal]  Wish you'd never met me?

• The Djinn : We have unfinished business.

  Alexandra Amberson : It's gonna stay unfinished!

• Alexandra Amberson : Why don't you go to bed? I don't want you to worry.

  Shannon Amberson : Can you can the big sister act for one night?
