Aladdin Cunning and Cleverness Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Aladdin.

Quote #4

GENIE: Well, now. How about that, Mr. Doubting Mustafa?

ALADDIN: Oh, you sure showed me. Now about my three wishes?

GENIE: Dost mine ears deceive me? Three? You are down by one, boy!

ALADDIN: Ah, no. I never actually wished to get out of the cave. You did that on your own.

GENIE: Well, don't I feel just sheepish? All right, you bad boy, but no more freebies.

How do you trick an all-powerful genie? Just ask Aladdin. He manages to con the Genie out of one wish pretty quickly. The bad news is that the Genie's not gonna fall for this one again. But still—how many people actually get four wishes out of a genie?

Quote #5

SULTAN: This is a very impressive youth. And a prince as well. If we're lucky, you won't have to marry Jasmine after all.

JAFAR: I don't trust him, sire.

SULTAN: Nonsense. One thing I pride myself on Jafar, I'm an excellent judge of character.

Wow. If there's one person in this whole movie we wouldn't describe with the words "clever" or "cunning," it's the Sultan. We honestly wonder how he manages to get on his M. C. Hammer pants every morning without hurting himself. He's a few chips short of a full hummus platter, but hey, he's not a bad guy. That at least counts for something.

Quote #6

ALADDIN: It's a magic carpet.

JASMINE: It's lovely.

ALADDIN: You, uh, you don't want to go for a ride, do you? We could get out of the palace, see the world.

JASMINE: Is it safe?

ALADDIN: Sure. Do you trust me?

JASMINE: What?

ALADDIN: Do you trust me?

JASMINE: Yes.

Sure, Aladdin's pretty great at improvising in tricky situations, but Jasmine's no dummy, either. Once Aladdin uses his patented "do you trust me" line for the second time, she's totally on to him, despite his disguise. Clever girl.
