How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Aladdin.
Quote #4
IAGO: To think we gotta keep kissing up to that chump, and his chump daughter for the rest of our lives...
JAFAR: No, Iago. Only until she finds a chump husband. Then she'll have us banished—or beheaded!
IAGO: Oh! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Jafar? What if you were the chump husband?
JAFAR: What?
IAGO: Okay, you marry the princess, all right? Then, uh, you become sultan!
JAFAR: Oh! Marry the shrew? I become sultan. The idea has merit!
IAGO: Yes, merit! Yes! And then we drop papa-in-law and the little woman off a cliff! Kersplat!
JAFAR: Iago, I love the way your foul little mind works!
This is a pretty nasty (yet effective) idea for a power grab. Why wait for Jasmine to accumulate more power and get rid of them, when Jafar can marry Jasmine and become sultan that way? The idea does have merit. Evil merit, but still.
Quote #5
ALADDIN: Better check your crystal ball again, Jafar!
JASMINE: Prince Ali!
IAGO: How in the he—uh, awk!
ALADDIN: Tell them the truth, Jafar! You tried to have me killed.
JAFAR: What? Ridiculous nonsense, your highness. He is obviously lying.
SULTAN: Obviously...lying.
JASMINE: Father, what's wrong with you?
ALADDIN: I know!
SULTAN: Oh, oh, oh my!
ALADDIN: Your highness, Jafar's been controlling you with this!
SULTAN: What? Jafar? You, you traitor!
JAFAR: Your majesty, all of this can be explained.
SULTAN: Guards! Guards!
IAGO: Well, that's it—we're dead, forget about it. Just dig a grave for both of us. We're dead.
Wow. Jafar was pretty close to getting everything he wanted, but it all came crashing down around him thanks to Aladdin. Our hero exposes the truth: Jafar has just been trying to grab authority for himself by mind-controlling the Sultan. Iago sees the writing on the wall: they're toast.
Quote #6
SULTAN: You two will be wed at once! Yes, yes. And you'll be happy and prosperous, and then my boy, you will be sultan!
ALADDIN: Sultan?
SULTAN: Yes, a fine upstanding youth like yourself, a person of your unimpeachable moral character is exactly what this kingdom needs!
This sounds like it would be good news, but Aladdin doesn't take it very well—it's kind of how we know he's the good guy. He's been handed a chance for power—he's gonna be sultan one day—but he doesn't want it. It's too much. The kid has humility, and we love him for it.
