H o l a k uʼ s R e t u r n 21 Ibn Al Algami completes the message and hands it over to Al Mustasim, who reads and signs it. He then rises to remove a carpet revealing a number of boxes filled up with jewels, opens them one by one and selects some jewels to send to Holaku. He seems hesitant while giving Ibn Al Algami each collection. Al Mustasim: No, no…. this is too much …. Only this, not this …not this, only this, yes only this enough! Ibn Al Algami: My Lord, you have a great deal of these jewels and nothing would diminish from these boxes! You are fending of an evil! Al Mustasim: All these jewels and money are guarantee of this Caliphate. Exits Ibn Al Algami carrying the message and the jewels. Enters Al Mustasim into the house where women laughter, giggles and songs are heard. Suddenly there are voices at the door and a porter is trying to stop a group of youths from getting in. The porter enters the Caliph’s room together with the group. One of the Youths: We want to see Sharabi, the senior officer of the Royal Palace.
