Dream Wife (1953)

Donald Randolph: Ali

Quotes 

• Ali : Our women have been taught from birth the perfect art. How to make a man happy. The princess Tarji would be the ideal wife. Every secret and every skill of five thousand years have been imparted to her every day and night of her life. You see before you a woman who's entire being is dedicated to but one desire. The desire to bring to her husband the gift of complete happiness.

• Ali : The Khan of Bukistan is pleased that you have taken a fancy to his daughter Tarji.

  Clemson Reade : So am I.

  Ali : She is only a girl.

  Clemson Reade : Yes, isn't she? My, she's a wonderful girl. I didn't know they still made them like this.

• Ali : In Bukistan we are old fashioned. Women are wives and mothers, as Allah intended them to be. They are not taxi cab drivers and wrestlers.

  Clemson Reade : Yes, I see what you mean.

  Ali : I do not understand your country. In America machines do everything.

  Clemson Reade : Eh, not quite.

  Ali : American ingenuity will find a way.

• Ali : There is a young lady to see you.

  Khan of Bukistan : I do not need any.
