The X Files1993

Jenn:
The only thing you people are cursed with is stupidity. All of you. Everybody. Mankind. Everyone I have ever come into contact with without fail. Always asking for the wrong thing.

Mulder:
You mean making the wrong wishes.

Jenn:
Yeah, it's always: "Give me money. Give me big b*obs." "Give me a big hoo-hoo." "Make me cool like the Fonz." Or whoever's the big name now.

Mulder:
You been out of circulation a long time.

Jenn:
So what? In 500 years, people have not changed a bit.

Dana Scully:
500 years.

Jenn:
Granted, they smell better now generally speaking but human greed still reigns... shallowness... a propensity for self-destruction.

Dana Scully:
You're saying that you have been a firsthand witness to 500 years of human history.

Jenn:
I used to be human. I was born in 15th century France and then, one day, an old Moor came to my village peddling rugs and I unrolled one that an Ifrit had taken residence in.

Dana Scully:
An "Ifrit."

Jenn:
A very... powerful class of jinni. He offered me three wishes. For the first I asked for a stouthearted mule. For the second, a magic sack that was always full of turnips... Did I mention this was 15th century France?

Mulder:
What was your third wish?

Jenn:
My third... I pondered for a great while. I didn't want to waste it. So, finally, feeling very intelligent I spoke up and I said "Je souhaite un grand pouvoir et une longue vie." "I wish for great power and long life."

Mulder:
And thus became a jinni yourself.

Jenn:
Gave me the mark of the jinn... right there. It's forever. Sort of like a prison tattoo.
