Memorable Quotes from Marwan Kenzari
6 quotesPower Struggles in Agrabah's Political Landscape
Jafar
As the old man said, "You should have left Agrabah when you had the chance." I told you before to think bigger. You could have been the most powerful man in the room. But now, I hold the lamp. I hold the power.
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
What are you doing?
Aladdin
Genie gave you your power, and he can take it away.
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'll always be second.
Iago
Second. Second.
[squawks, then cackles]
Jafar
Second?! Only second?! He serves me! I will make sure no one will ever say these words again! Genie, for my final wish, I wish to become the most powerful being in the universe! More powerful than you!
Genie
A lot of gray area in that wish. But, uh, the most powerful being in the universe, coming right up!
Jafar
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 Sherabad. What have you done to me?
[laughs maniacally; tries to use his magic to attack Sherabad, his shackles instantly appear]
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
I will not forget you, boy! Mark my words. I will not forget what you have done to me!
Iago
Goodbye, Jafar!
Jafar
PARROT, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!
[he grabs Iago as he gets sucked into his lamp]

Ambition and Power in Jafar's Vision
Jafar
Another petty insult from that small-minded fool. He sees a city where I see an empire. Once that lamp sits in my hand... then I shall sit on his throne.

Identity Revealed in a Crowded Moment
Iago
Prince Ali!
Jafar
If it isn't our Prince Ali.
Jasmine
Ali!
Jafar
Or should I say... ...Aladdin?
[teleports Aladdin in front of without and removes his prince outfit]
Jasmine
Aladdin?
[shocked]
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.
[teleports Aladdin and Abu to the snowy ends of the Earth]
Aladdin
NO!
Jafar
I could simply kill you all. But that would be inadequate repayment for years of humiliation and neglect. "Remember your place, Jafar." "You forget yourself, Jafar.
Sultan
Jafar.
Jafar
No. What you need, Baba, is to suffer. Like I have suffered.

Power Dynamics Between Jafar and Iago

Remember your place, Jafar.
[mimics the Sultan]
Iago
Remember your place.
Jafar
If I hear that one more time...
Iago
Sorry, Master.

Trust and Betrayal in the Sultan's Court
Sultan
What happened?
[after Aladdin breaks Jafar's staff from his spell]
Aladdin
He had you under his spell.
Jafar
He's not to be trusted. Your Majesty.
Aladdin
He wants your throne.
Sultan
Jafar, you were my most trusted advisor! Hakim! Put him in the dungeon!
Jafar
You should think about how quickly the sands of power shift in the storm, Hakim.
Hakim
I am loyal to my sultan. As you should have been. The law is the law.
