Quotes
-
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.
-
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 : Face it, princess, sometimes you just have to take a risk.
-
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 : Abu, no!
Cave of Wonders : You have touched the forbidden treasure! Now, you will never again see the light of day!
-
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]

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]

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*!
-
Aladdin : [form official trailer; to Jasmine] Do you trust me?
-
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.
-
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.

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!

[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 : It's, uh, very expensive.
Jasmine : And what do you hope to buy with this expensive?
Aladdin : You!
Genie : Wow!
Aladdin : No! No, no, no! A moment with you, a moment. That's not...
Genie : Mimic's explosion.
Jasmine : Are you suggesting I am for sale?
Aladdin : Of course... not! No, of course not! No!
Genie : It's cold and it's dark in that lamp. But I prefer it to this.
