Tamina: Such a noble prince! Dastan: Such a gentle princess! Tamina: How taken you were with my fainting act, eagerly leaping to assist the fallen beauty.! Dastan: Who said you were a beauty?! Tamina: There must be a reason why you can't take your eyes off me. What you're looking, at, is the walk of a man who just lost everything. He took me in, he gave me a family, he gave me home. Tamina: Then how did you become a prince? Dastan: I don't know, the King. Dastan: I wasn't born in a palace like you! I was born in the slums of Nasaf where I lived if I fought and I clawed for it. No doubt it's comes from being told since birth the world was yours, and actually believing it. Tamina: You know you really walk like one, head held high, chest out, long stomping strides.The walk of a self-satisfied Persian prince. ( to Tamina) If you can manage it, I suggest a hint of humility before you're presented to the king. ( speaking to a soldier outside the entrance to the banquet hall) Stay here with her highness. Dastan: Don't make the mistake of thinking you know me, princess. Tamina: Then you are a true prince of Persia. And allow me to offer, that if punishing the enemies of my king's a crime, then it's one I'll gladly repeat. Dastan: Oh, a pleasure to meet you too, princess. Must feel wonderful winning such a claim for destroying such an innocent city. That was my sacred calling, that was my destiny.ĭialogue Tamina: So I'm being escorted by Prince Dastan, the Lion of Persia. Protect the dagger, no matter the consequences.You will die in the shadow of a great man.
