How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Aladdin.
Quote #1
ALADDIN: Gotta keep...one jump ahead of the breadline, One swing ahead of the sword. I steal only what I can't afford— That's everything! One jump ahead of the lawmen, That's all, and that's no joke. These guys don't appreciate I'm broke! […] One jump ahead of the slowpokes, One skip ahead of my doom. Next time, gonna use a nom de plume. One jump ahead of the hitmen, One hit ahead of the flock. I think I'll take a stroll around the block.
Aladdin's not just a thief—he's like the Michael Jordan of thieves. In other words, he's really great at it. Hey, when you've got to steal in order to survive, you start getting pretty clever about the ways you evade the law. Given that Aladdin steals to survive, do you think what he's doing is wrong? Why or why not?
Quote #2
ALADDIN & JASMINE: They've found me! They're after you?
JASMINE: My father must have sent them—
ALADDIN: Do you trust me?
JASMINE: What?
ALADDIN: Do you trust me?
JASMINE: Yes.
ALADDIN: Then jump!
Okay, so getting caught by the guards isn't real smooth, but Aladdin's plan to jump off the roof and into a pile of grain is some pretty fast thinking. Plus, he convinces a girl he's just met to trust him with only a few words. You've got to admit—dude's got a good head on his shoulders.
Quote #3
ALADDIN: Oh, my head. We're trapped. That two faced son-of-a-jackal! Whoever he was, he's long gone with that lamp.
ABU: Aha!
ALADDIN: Why, you hairy little thief!
Hey, Aladdin's not the only one with a few tricks up his sleeve. Abu manages to snag the lamp from the old man (Jafar in disguise) right before getting trapped in the Cave of Wonders. That will prove handy in the next few minutes…
