Aladdin Quotes

Genie: [from trailer; in a deep voice] O great one who summons me / I stand by my oath: loyalty to wishes three!

[Aladdin stares]

Genie: [in his normal voice] I'm kidding, watch this...

[sings "Friend Like Me"]

Aladdin: Hey, can you make me a prince?

Genie: There's a lot of gray area in "make me a prince". I can just... make you a prince.

[creates a prince out of thin air]

Aladdin: Oh, no!

Genie: Right. You'd be snuggled up with that dude for the rest of your life.

Prince: Y'all seen my palace?

Genie: Be specific with your words. The deal is in the details.

Aladdin: [from official trailer] I thought a princess could go anywhere.

Jasmine: Not this princess.

Jafar: I can make you rich... rich enough to impress a princess.

Aladdin: What do I have to do?

Jafar: There's a cave of wonders. Bring me a lamp.

Genie: You have got to be more confident about what you have to offer.

Aladdin: What do I have to offer? Knowledge about how to steal food, how to jump over buildings?

Genie: Stop, stop, stop! I made you look like a prince on the outside, but I didn't change anything on the inside. Prince Ali got you to the door, but Aladdin has to open it.

Genie: It's showtime!

Aladdin: No, I'm in charge, and I decide when it's time to...

[Genie blows Aladdin over to Jasmine]

Aladdin: Really?

Aladdin: Do you trust me?

[Aladdin holds out his arm]

Jasmine: What did you say?

Aladdin: Do you trust me?

Jasmine: How did you get past the guards?

Aladdin: That was challenging.

Jasmine: You cannot just break into a palace like you own the place.

Aladdin: If you don't have anything, you have to act like you own everything.

Jasmine: [opens her door] You!

Aladdin: [Holding a drinking tray] Tea?

Aladdin: This girl, she's a princess...

Genie: Aren't they all?

Aladdin: Do we need the topknot?

Genie: That's like my whole cherry on top!

Jafar: Genie, for my final wish: I wish to become the most powerful being in the universe. More powerful than you!

Genie: A lot of grey area in that wish. But... Most powerful being in the universe, coming right up!

[Genie turns Jafar into a genie]

Jafar: [laughs] The most powerful in the universe, at last! Second to NO ONE! And I thought I had power before! First, I'll lay waste to those fools in Shirabad!

[prepares a fireball... then gets shackles on his arms. Genie smiles]

Jafar: What have you done to me?

Aladdin: I haven't done anything to you, Jafar.

Jafar: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?

Aladdin: This was your wish, not mine! A genie might have phenomenal cosmic powers...

Genie: But an itty-bitty living space. You see, a genie without a master, goes back in their lamp.

[Jafar's lamp appears]

Jafar: NO! Not the lamp!

[starts to get sucked in]

Jafar: No, no! I will not forget you, boy! Mark my words, I will not forget what you have done to me!

Iago: Goodbye, Jafar!

[flies off]

Jafar: PARROT, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!

[grabs Iago, the two get sucked into the lamp]

Jafar: [seriously] Jams?

Iago: Jams?

Aladdin: Can you give me a hand?

Jafar: First, the lamp.

Aladdin: No. No, first your hand.

Jafar: We don't have much time. Give me the lamp.

Aladdin: Abu, no!

Cave of Wonders: You have touched the forbidden treasure! Now, you will never again see the light of day!

Jafar: Genie, I wish to be the most powerful sorcerer there is!

Genie: As you wish, master.

Cave of Wonders: Only one may enter here. One whose worth lies far within. The diamond in the rough.

Jafar: Remember, take nothing but the lamp.

Genie: O Great One who summons me, Terrible One who commands me, I stand by my oath, loyalty to wishes three!

[Aladdin can only muster a faint terrified squeal]

[last lines]

Jasmine: Stop, thief! Your Sultan commands it!

Aladdin: Sultan. Does that mean I'm in trouble?

Jasmine: Only because you got caught.

Aladdin: We have jams!

Jafar: Jams?

Iago: Jams.

Aladdin: Yes, jams! Yam jams, fig jams...

Dalia: Yam jams!

Aladdin: A-and date jams! Seedless, delicious, ex-exotic jams!

Genie: Move. Away. From the jams.

Aladdin: So, how does it work?

Genie: You're... kidding, right? The whole song... was the instructions!

[Jafar rubs the lamp at an Agrabah street corner]

Genie: [bumps his head] Ow, man! Why'd you rub the lamp under an... archway?

[sees it's not Aladdin]

[Genie saves Aladdin from drowning]

Genie: It cost you a wish, though.

Aladdin: I don't care what it cost. You saved my life. Thank you.

Jasmine: Look at that. Another prince more interested in Baba.

Dalia: I don't know, I think this one might be different.

[seeing Genie]

Dalia: And he comes with an incredibly attractive friend. Please make it work.

Genie: Oh, great one who summons me, terrible one who commands me, I stand by my oath, loyalty to wishes three.

[Aladdin whimpers quietly]

Genie: I said "Oh, great..."

[looking around and spotting Aladdin]

Genie: Excuse me, boy, where's your boss?

[Aladdin doesn't know what to say]

Genie: Help me out here. Where's your boss? If I was gonna talk to myself, I could've just stayed in the lamp.

Aladdin: I'm talking to a smoking blue giant?

Genie: No!

[trilling his tongue]

Genie: I am not a giant, I am a genie. There is a difference. Giants are not real.

Genie: Where's your boss?

Aladdin: Uh, my boss?

Genie: Look, kid, I've been doing this a long time, all right? There's always a guy, you know... he's cheated somebody or buried somebody, or... I mean, you get my point. Where's that guy?

Aladdin: I know that guy. He's outside.

Genie: [looking around with a conjured telescope] So, it's just you and me down here? And a monkey? That's your personal business, but we gonna need to talk about that monkey later.

Genie: Hey, do you mind if I could just stretch it out over here? Do you mind?

Aladdin: Uh... are you asking me?

Genie: [stretching] You're my master.

Aladdin: I'm your master?

Genie: [doing a yoga stretch] Downward dog.

Aladdin: No. No, no. You look like you should be my master.

Genie: Right, but that's not quite how it works, though.

Aladdin: How long have you been trapped in here?

Genie: 'Bout a thousand years.

Aladdin: A thousand years?

Genie: [imitating him] "A thousand years." Kid, is it me or does, like, everything surprise you?

Aladdin: What would you wish for?

Genie: Mmm. No one's ever asked me that before. It's an easy one, though. I'd wish to be free.

[tapping his metal wristbands]

Genie: To not have to say "Poof! Can I help you? Poof! What would you like? Poof! Welcome to the lamp. May I take your order, please?" Freedom. I wish to be... to be human.

Aladdin: Why don't you just set yourself free?

Genie: [laughing] Carpet! Did you hear what this boy said? Why don't I set myself free?

[he snickers, and Carpet pantomimes doubling over with laughter]

Genie: Only way a genie gets to be free is if the owner of the lamp uses one of his wishes to set him free, and the last time that happened was, like, the fourth of Never-ary.

Genie: Here's the thing about wishes: the more you have, the more you want.

Aladdin: That's not me.

Aladdin: Mmm. We'll see about that.

Genie: [turning Aladdin in Prince Ali] So, what do you think?

Aladdin: I like it.

Genie: Of course you like it, boy! I made it!

Aladdin: I think that's me.

Genie: Strictly speaking, it is me. I mean, I did most of the work. You was just standing there. But I-I hear you.

Genie: Don't worry. You are not out of the game yet. Just do whatever you'd normally do at a party.

Aladdin: I've never been to a party.

Genie: What?

Aladdin: What?

Genie: Oh, well, you gonna need to go back to the room, then. You're not messing up my night.

Aladdin: She just walked out.

Genie: Maybe I went a tad far with the backflip... but that dance may be the best thing you ever do in your life.

Aladdin: I was pretty good. But nothing seems to impress her.

Genie: Yeah, it's crazy. Not gems or jams or jewels. I mean, if I can't impress her, I wonder who can.

Aladdin: What's that supposed to mean?

Genie: I'm just sayin', try being yourself.

Aladdin: But she has to marry a prince. If I just had a few more minutes with her, I know I could...

[getting an idea]

Aladdin: You need to get me over there.

Genie: Is that an official wish?

Aladdin: No. It's a favor. For a friend.

Genie: Oh, yeah, see, genies don't really have friends.

Aladdin: I thought you said you never had a friend like me.

Genie: No, I said *you* never had a friend like *me*!

Genie: So, you got the girl. I mean, trust me, I had my doubts after your whole jam debacle. But, you pulled yourself back together a little bit.

Aladdin: I did, didn't I? I think I finally got the hang of being a prince.

Aladdin: Oh, well, that's not exactly what I meant...

Aladdin: But you were right. People see what they want to see. Aladdin is gone. I'm Prince Ali now.

Genie: Wow. Got it all figured now, huh, kid?

Aladdin: And you know, I was thinking about my last wish, and I just... I can't do this without you. I know I told you I'd use it to set you free, but you heard the Sultan. I can't let everything that we've worked for fall apart.

Genie: [hurt] So, you just never tell her the truth? You're gonna keep living the lie?

Aladdin: It's not a lie. People can change.

Genie: Heh, oh they can change, all right.

Aladdin: And that's a bad thing? Everything's better now. No one got hurt. You'd rather me be back on the streets stealing to survive? I... thought you'd be happy me. But all you cared about was that I use my last wish to set you free.

Genie: Wow. Kid, I don't care nothin' about that wish! This is about you, what's happening to you! You'd rather lie to someone you love than give all this up!

Aladdin: You don't get it, Genie! People like me don't get anything, except by pretending!

Genie: I think, maybe, YOU don't get it. The more you gain by pretending, the less you're actually gonna have. In ten thousand years, I have never once, ever called a master a friend. I broke the rules for you. I saved your life... and for what? You are breaking my heart here, kid. You're breaking my heart.

[goes back inside his lamp]

[Aladdin sneaks into the palace to get the lamp from Jafar]

Iago: Prince Ali!

[Jafar freezes Aladdin in place]

Jafar: If it isn't our Prince Ali.

Jasmine: Ali!

Jafar: Or should I say, Aladdin?

[strips Aladdin of his prince suit]

Jasmine: Aladdin?

Jafar: He's been pretending the entire time. An imposter. There is no Prince Ali. There never was. He's nothing but a lying thief.

Aladdin: I'm sorry.

Jafar: You're insignificant. An irritation I no longer need to tolerate, once, I ensure your agonizing death by... banishing you to the ends of the earth.

[sends Aladdin away]

Jasmine: NO!

Aladdin: The Sultan likes me.

Genie: Then maybe he can be your wife!

Aladdin: You can't find what you're looking for in that lamp, Jafar. I tried and failed, and so will you.

Jafar: You think so? But I am Sultan! I am the greatest sorcerer the world has ever seen! I will create an empire that history cannot ignore. I can destroy cities. I can destroy kingdoms. And I can destroy YOU.

Aladdin: True. But who made you a sultan? Who made you a sorcerer? There will always be some thing, some man, some being more powerful than you. Genie gave you your power, and he can take it away.

Genie: What are you doing?

Jafar: He serves me!

Aladdin: For now! But you'll never have more power than the genie. You said it yourself, you're either the most powerful in the room, or you're nothing. You will always be... second.

Iago: [cackles] Second! Second!

Jafar: Second? Only second? HE SERVES ME!... I will make sure no one will ever say these words again!

Jafar: [quotes the Sultan] "Remember your place, Jafar."

Iago: Remember your place!

Jafar: [glares at Iago] If I hear that one more time...

Iago: Sorry, master.

Genie: A couple thousand years in the Cave of Wonders ought to cool you off.

[flings Jafar's lamp into the distance]
