A Dangerous Game of Wishes
Alexandra What happens if I wished you dead?
The Djinn Why, how remarkably original of you, Alexandra. I'll tell you what. I'll give you one free wish. A sample. Just to get you in the spirit of the game.
Alexandra All right. I want you to destroy yourself. Blow your brains out. Right now
The Djinn Very well.
The Djinn That which is eternal cannot die. But if it's any consolation, sweet Alex, THAT HURT LIKE HELL!
Warning of a Malevolent Presence
The Djinn/Nathaniel Demerest Run, insect. Run and tell those you will, what you will. Tell them there is something loose in their city which feeds on wishes. But tell them quickly, while you still have a soul.
The True Nature of the Djinn
Alexandra A djinn? A genie?
Wendy Now hold on a minute. Forget what our culture has made of the Djinn. Forget ]. Forget ]. To the people of ancient Arabia, the Djinn was neither cute nor funny. It was something else entirely. It was the face of fear itself.
[[I Dream of Jeannie|Barbara Eden; [Aladdin (1992 Disney film)|Robin Williams]
Frustration of Limited Power
The Djinn as Nathaniel Demerest Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to have unlimited power, and only be able to use it when some worm asks you for something?

The Djinn's Limitations on Killing
Alexandra Where's Wendy?
The Djinn Bedroom. But I wouldn't go in there if I were you. Messy. I needed her face.
Alexandra You killed her.
The Djinn Actually, I can't kill anyone. Not unless they wish me to. Your research should have told you that.
Alexandra She didn't wish to be dead, you lying sack of shit!
The Djinn I showed her my true face. Her reaction wasn't very flattering. As a matter of fact, she got downright hysterical! I merely asked if she wished to be released from her fear. You're a dangerous person to know, Alexandra. Your scientist friend, your boss, the policeman, Wendy. By the by-where is that tasty little sister of yours today?
[licks upper lip slowly]
Navigating Complicated Workplace Relationships
Wendy What an insufferable prick that man is. Still, it's not your problem. Unless, of course, you're stupid enough to be working for him.
[referring to Raymond Beaumont]
Alexandra No.
[shaking her head]
Wendy Or sleeping with him.
Alexandra No.
[slightly disgusted]
Wendy Oh good. Well, that establishes your discerning good taste. Uh-huh. What can I do for you?
[turns her attention to something else, then addresses Alex without looking at her]
Alexandra Absolutely nothing at all until I can get your full attention.
[assertively]
Wendy I like you.
[turns and stares at her, Alex stares right back]

The Djinn Not yet, human. Soon... very soon I will be.

Houdini's Feat in Two and a Half Minutes
The Djinn/Nathaniel Demerest Houdini did it in two and a half minutes.
[Nathaniel provokes a man into wishing he could "escape", and the man suddenly appears in a straitjacket inside a steel-and-glass box filled with water]
The Origin and Danger of the Djinn
Narrator Once, in a time before time, God breathed life into the universe. And the light gave birth to Angels. And the earth gave birth to Man. And the fire gave birth to the Djinn, creatures condemned to dwell in the void between the worlds. One who wakes a Djinn will be given three wishes. Upon the granting of the third, the unholy legions of the Djinn will be freed to rule the earth. Fear one thing in all there is...fear the Djinn.
