Quote #7
ALADDIN: Genie! No!
GENIE: Sorry, kid—I got a new master now.
SULTAN: Jafar, I order you to stop!
JAFAR: There's a new order now—my order! Finally, you will bow to me!
JASMINE: We'll never bow to you!
IAGO: Why am I not surprised?
JAFAR: If you will not bow before a sultan, then you will cower before a sorcerer! Genie, my second wish—I wish to be the most powerful sorcerer in the world!
Yeah, this is not looking good. Now that Jafar has the lamp, he's blowing through wishes. He's got the power, but there's one thing he's failing to consider: the consequences of his actions. Might that be his tragic downfall? Fingers crossed.
Quote #8
JAFAR: You little fool! You thought you could defeat the most powerful being on earth! […] Without the Genie, boy, you're nothing!
ALADDIN: The Genie! The Genie! The Genie has more power than you'll ever have!
JAFAR: What?!
ALADDIN: He gave you your power, he can take it away!
GENIE: Al, what are you doing? Why are you bringing me into this?
ALADDIN: Face it, Jafar—you're still just second best!
JAFAR: You're right! His power does exceed my own! But not for long!
GENIE: The boy is crazy. He's a little punch drunk. One too many hits with the snake
JAFAR: Slave, I make my third wish! I wish to be an all-powerful genie!
Okay, so here's where it all falls apart. Jafar is so enthralled with his own power, and so convinced he has the upper hand, that he can't see through Aladdin's ulterior motives. He demands to be made a genie because he just wants more, more, more. Hubris alert.
Quote #9
JAFAR: Yes! Yes! The power! The absolute power!
JASMINE: What have you done?
ALADDIN: Trust me!
JAFAR: The universe is mine to command, to control!
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!
JAFAR: No! No!
IAGO: I'm gettin' out of here! Come on, you're the genie, I don't want—
ALADDIN: Phenomenal cosmic powers! Itty-bitty living space.
Jafar's feeling pretty good here for a minute. Pretty darn powerful. Then, the other shoe drops, and wow, he did not see that coming. That's what happens when you get drunk on your own power: you forget to think. Better luck next time, Jafar.
