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 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]
Transformation from Aladdin to Prince Ali
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.
Genie 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 So... you just never tell her the truth? You're gonna keep living the lie?
[hurt]
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.
[angry]
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.
[shocked]
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 10,000 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 Genie, no. Hey, come on!
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.
Genie's Frustration with Aladdin's Command
Genie Oh, great one who summons me! Terrible one who commands me! I stand by my oath-- Loyalty to wishes three!
Genie I said, oh, great... Excuse me. Boy, where's your boss? Help me out here, where's your boss?
Genie If I was gonna talk to myself, I coulda just stayed in the lamp. Hello!
Aladdin Um...
Genie Use your big boy voice.
Aladdin I'm talking to a smoking blue giant?
Genie No! I am not a giant. I am a genie! There's a difference. Giants are not real. Where's your boss?
Aladdin Um, 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.
Magic and Limitations of the Genie Life
Genie Inside the lamp, everything’s like, "Brass! Brass! Brass! Brass! Ooh, is that some copper? Nope! Brass!" Sort of the problem with the genie life. Phenomenal cosmic powers! Itty bitty living space.
Aladdin (holds up the lamp) So, is this magic, or are you magic?
Genie Eh, kind of a package deal.
Forbidden Treasure and Consequences
Cave Inffidels!
Abu Uh-oh!
Aladdin Abu! NO!
[sees Abu looking the ruby]
Cave You have touched the forbidden treasure! Now you will shall never again see the light of TODAY!!!
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.
Caught in the Act of Theft
Jasmine Stop, thief! Your sultan commands it!
Aladdin Sultan? Does that mean I'm in trouble?
Jasmine Only because you got caught.
Identifying Dalia's Royal Connections
Jasmine My name is Dalia.
[pretending to be her handmaiden]
Aladdin Dalia. From the palace.
Jasmine How could you tell?
Aladdin Well, only someone from the palace afford a bracelet like that and that silk lining is imported too it comes from the merchant boat, straight to the palace, at the least most servants which means you are the handmaiden of the princess? Impressive.
Jasmine Yes. She is not allowed to leave the castle. You think that’s impressive.
Confidence in the Face of Nothingness
Aladdin If you don't have anything, you have to act like you own everything.

Genie I'm ready, hold on, here we go...
Aladdin I wish...
Genie Third and final wish.
Aladdin I wish… to set you free.
Genie ...What? Wait. Am I...? Uh, tell-tell me to do something.
[his magical cuffs unlock and dissolve away, and he becomes human]
Aladdin Uh... get me some jams.
Genie ...Get it yourself? Get your own jams! Thank you. Thank you.
[nothing happens; Aladdin embraces him]
Aladdin No. Thank you, Genie. I owe you everything.
