Rose of Persia
Dialogue Following Song No. 27 — Act II
Sultan:
- Is the story finished?
- Hassan:
- That is only the beginning, O King. That little boy was
myself — and the Sultan was your father — and the
story I have been telling to the slave, which she has
been telling to the Sultana, is the story of my own life —
and, O King, this is the point: you have yourself
commanded that the story — which is my life — is to
have a happy ending.
- Sultan:
- By the beard of my grandfather, you have played an
odd trick upon me!
- Hassan:
- It is the odd trick, O King, that wins the
game!
- Sultan:
- But not the rubber. Take back your wife — I restore
her to you. (Handing Sunbeam to him.) I
fancy that's the rub.
- Hassan:
- Yes, you've won.
(Yussuf joins Heart's
Desire.)
