Aladdin - Power 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: [squawks, then cackles]
Second. Second.
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: [laughs maniacally; tries to use his magic to attack Sherabad, his shackles instantly appear]
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?
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: [he grabs Iago as he gets sucked into his lamp]
PARROT, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!

Aladdin - Identity Revealed in a Crowded Moment
Iago:
Prince Ali!
Jafar:
If it isn't our Prince Ali.
Jasmine:
Ali!
Jafar: [teleports Aladdin in front of without and removes his prince outfit]
Or should I say... ...Aladdin?
Jasmine: [shocked]
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: [teleports Aladdin and Abu to the snowy ends of the Earth]
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.
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.

Aladdin - Trust and Betrayal in the Sultan's Court
Sultan: [after Aladdin breaks Jafar's staff from his spell]
What happened?
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.

Aladdin - 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.
