After pulling out the cork, and dusting it off a cloud of smoke gushes forth. The mystical fog then takes the form of a beautiful blonde girl dressed in an Arabic harem costume. After her appearance she kneels before Tony and exclaims in Arabic/Farsee amp;quot;Your wish is my mand master.amp;quot;After wishing her to speak English Jeannie summons a rescue helicopter.
