Sinbad : What?
Firouz : I was just admiring your sense of purpose. I mean, you just lead us through a maze without a doubt what so ever.
Sinbad : Is that what it looked like to you? I should have been an actor.
Firouz : Why do you say that?
Sinbad : Because most of the time my sense of purpose amounts to the feeling 'gee, I wonder what would happen if I tried this?'. It's amazing what you accomplish that way.
Firouz : I can't believe that with all your years at sea, your previous adventures, that anything could suprise you.
Sinbad : I'm surprised everyday, Firouz. It's half the fun of living.
Firouz : And the other half?
Sinbad : Wondering what's going to suprise me next.

Sinbad : I know you value your femine intuition
Maeve : Femine intuition, is it? Oh! Okay, tell me this. Don't women as brave and as beautiful as Alana generally get attracted to men like you.
Sinbad : Why thank you, Maeve.
Maeve : It wasn't meant as a compliment. It was meant as a warning. She wants something from Doubar.
Sinbad : He's simply showing her some good will, being a perfect gentleman.
Maeve : [waves her hand down Sinbad's chest] And she is being a spider, spinning her little web.
Sinbad : What?
[to Rongar after Maeve leaves]
Sinbad : Women.

Maeve : [attempting to undue a shrunken Sinbad] Would you, please, hold still!
Sinbad : What? I move you can't see me?
Maeve : Oh! Why isn't anything working?
Caipra : Because Rumina's spells are strong.
Sinbad : She knows what she's doing.
Maeve : I don't even know why I'm helping you.
Sinbad : You haven't even helped me yet.
Maeve : Fine. Stay a bug the rest of your life.
Caipra : Alright you two, that's enough. Stop acting like an old married couple.
Sinbad : Married to her!
[begins to laugh]
Maeve : Oh, and you're such a big catch!
Sinbad : Hey.
-
Turhan : I've decided to settle down, start a family. Maybe you should try the same some time.
Sinbad : Maybe.
[glances at Maeve]
Sinbad : Sometime.
Doubar , Firouz , Rongar : [Laugh]
Maeve : Oh, get real, guys.
Sinbad : Come on, don't you guys have anything better to do?
Doubar : Well, I guess we could get in the long boat and head back to the ship.
Sinbad : That'll do for a start.
[starts to push at the long boat and realizes he and Maeve are the only ones pushing]
Sinbad : Let's go, guys.
Doubar : [Laughs]
Jial : They do make a handsome couple.
-
Sinbad : The way I look at it, this world is growing a little too civilized for me. It's growing up. Growing serious. Growing dull. But out there who knows what worlds await. And out there is our good friend Dim Dim. And I promise to find him, Dermott. Of course, I need a good crew.
-
Sinbad : Rumina would be proud.
[Maeve slaps Sinbad on the chest]
-
Sinbad : You talk to dumb beasts?
Maeve : And isn't that what I'm doing right now. If you were have as quick with your wits as you are with your sword you would have realized that he meant you no harm. He was just guarding his mistress.
Sinbad : I wan...
Maeve : Back off with you. Attempt any trickery and Dermott will have your eyeballs in my hand before you've a time to blink.
Sinbad : I just wanted to th...
Maeve : Oh, I know what you wanted alright! Haven't I seen the likes of you in my life before. Sea faring men arriving in big ships and taking over any land and people they choose, by force.
Sinbad : I just wanted to thank you for helping me.
Maeve : Oh. Well, then why didn't you just say so in the first place? Have you not a tongue in your head?
-
Sinbad : You don't have to come along, Maeve, if you don't want to. There is a strangeness about this place and we'll be slogging over rough terrain in this heat.
Maeve : Isn't that just like a sailor, using chivarlry against me. I'm a part of this crew, aren't I. I pull my weight around here, don't I. I will not be left behind.
-
Doubar : So, is this expiditon of a professional interest, little brother, or are your feelings for Maeve coloring your judgement?
Sinbad : I have no more feelings for her than for any other member of my crew. As captain, I'm very concerned, naturally, when one of my crew members starts acting foolishly. That's all.
Doubar : Naturally.
