Quote #7
GENIE: Huzzah! Hail the conquering hero! Aladdin, you've just won the heart of the princess. What are you gonna do next? Psst, your line is, "I'm going to free the Genie." Anytime.
ALADDIN: Genie...I can't.
GENIE: Sure you can. You just go, "Genie, I wish you free."
ALADDIN: I'm serious. Look, I'm sorry—I really am. But they want to make me sultan—no!—they want to make Prince Ali sultan. Without you, I'm just Aladdin.
GENIE: Al, you won!
ALADDIN: Because of you! The only reason anyone thinks I'm anything is because of you. What if they find out I'm not really a prince? What if Jasmine finds out? I'll lose her. Genie, I can't keep this up on my own. I can't wish you free.
Oh, Aladdin, say it ain't so. Our hero knows he should set the Genie free, but he just can't. He's gotta keep his servant around to do his bidding and keep his lies up and running. It's a low point for Aladdin…and for the Genie.
Quote #8
ALADDIN: Not so fast, Jafar! Aren't you forgetting something? You wanted to be a genie, you got it! And everything that goes with it! […] Phenomenal cosmic powers! Itty-bitty living space.
It's the ultimate punishment for Jafar: life as an all-powerful genie, imprisoned in a lamp. Sure, he'll have awesome power, but he'll also be confined to the lamp and will be forced to do the bidding of others. Take it from the Genie—it's not a fun way to live.
Quote #9
GENIE: Al, no problem. You've still got one wish left. Just say the word and you're a prince again.
ALADDIN: But Genie, what about your freedom?
GENIE: Hey, it's only an eternity of servitude. This is love. Al, you're not gonna find another girl like her in a million years. Believe me, I know. I've looked.
ALADDIN: Jasmine, I do love you, but I've got to stop pretending to be something I'm not.
JASMINE: I understand.
ALADDIN: Genie, I wish for your freedom.
GENIE: One bona fide prince pedigree coming up. I—what?
ALADDIN: Genie, you're free!
GENIE: Heh, heh! I'm free. I'm free. Quick, quick, wish for something outrageous. Say, "I want the Nile." Wish for the Nile. Try that!
ALADDIN: I wish for the Nile.
GENIE: No way! Oh does that feel good! I'm free! I'm free at last! I'm hittin' the road. I'm off to see the world!
This is a sweet scene. The Genie is willing to forgo his freedom to give Aladdin and Jasmine a chance to be together, but Aladdin turns him down. He makes things right and sets the Genie free…even if it means losing Jasmine forever. Spoiler alert: it doesn't mean losing Jasmine. Hey, this is a Disney movie, after all.
