  Jeannie : A black-haired demon.

  Major Nelson : Oh, well, yeah. Look who's talking.

  Jeannie : I can do much more for thee than she can.

  [thows her arms around his neck] 

  Major Nelson : Now-now, stop that, Jeannie. We don't do that in America.

• Jeannie : I wasn't talking to your wife, Sir. I was talking to your smoke.

• Jeannie : Thou may ask anything of thy slave, Master.

• Major Nelson : Jeannie, that's marvelous. I don't know how to thank you.

  Jeannie : [putting her arms around his neck]  I will teach thee, Master.

• Jeannie : Somehow I must find a way to please thee, Master.

  [Jeannie transforms into her own clothes]

• Major Nelson : How'd you get in that crazy bottle, anyway?

  Jeannie : Oh, a wicked and powerful jinn put me in there, because I would not marry him.

• Jeannie : Thou art the most stubborn and ungrateful master I have ever served.
