A Label From Samarkand

 

 

Here's the link to a description of the scene where George Bailey (It's a Wonderful Life) buys a suitcase.  He talks about his itinerary.  Samarkand is on his bucket list!

The lines:

Time - Phrase

00:12:17 Big... see... I, I don't want one for one night.

00:12:19 I want something for a thousand and one nights.

00:12:21 With plenty of room here for labels from Italy and Baghdad, Samarkand...

00:12:26 a great big one.

00:12:27 - I see, a flying carpet, huh? - Yeah.
