  • I love the looks of the desert but hate the taste of it.

Roxor[edit]

  • [to Abdullah] If Nadji opposes me, and you serve me well, there shall be a new slave in your harem.

Dialogue[edit]

Yogi Teacher: Thou has done well, my son. To few, indeed, of thy race have the secrets of the yogi been revealed.
Chandu/Frank Chandler: To you, my teacher, I express my thanks. What more can I learn?
Yogi Teacher: Nothing now. The world needs thee. Go forth in the youth and strength and conquer the evil that threatens Mankind.

Princess Nadji: So, unless my people will join in making you a modern pharaoh, you will annihilate them?
Roxor: Pharaoh? I shall be greater than any pharaoh! Civilization and all its works shall be destroyed! Men shall return to savagery following only one supreme intelligence... me!

Princess Nadji: Have you been married since you last saw me?
Chandu/Frank Chandler: That's one feat of magic that requires a beautiful assistant.
