How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Aladdin.
Quote #4
ALADDIN: Genie, I need help.
GENIE: All right, sparky, here's the deal. You wanna court the little lady, you gotta be a straight shooter, do ya follow me?
ALADDIN: What?
GENIE: Tell her the...TRUTH!
ALADDIN: No way! If Jasmine found out I was really some crummy street rat, she'd laugh at me.
GENIE: A woman appreciates a man who can make her laugh! Al, all joking aside, you really ought to be yourself.
ALADDIN: Hey, that's the last thing I want to be. Okay, I'm gonna go see her. I gotta be smooth, cool, confident. How do I look?
GENIE: Like a prince.
The Genie knows the deal—if Aladdin wants to have any chance with Jasmine, he needs to be straight with her. Seriously, how many long-term relationships do you know that are built on lies? Any? But Aladdin can't do it. Why would a princess want a street rat like him? Nope. He's gonna stick with the prince lie for now.
Quote #5
JASMINE: Wait, wait. Do I know you?
ALADDIN: Uh, no, no.
JASMINE: You remind me of someone I met in the marketplace.
ALADDIN: The marketplace? I have servants that go to the marketplace for me. Why I even have servants who go to the marketplace for my servants, so it couldn't have been me you met.
JASMINE: No, I guess not.
And more lies. This is not gonna end well for Aladdin. He's also too busy preening in his princely robes to realize that Jasmine would actually prefer the boy in the marketplace to this pompous prince standing on her balcony.
Quote #6
JASMINE: You are the boy from the market! I knew it. Why did you lie to me?
ALADDIN: Jasmine, I'm sorry.
JASMINE: Did you think I was stupid?
ALADDIN: No!
JASMINE: That I wouldn't figure it out?
ALADDIN: No. I mean, I hoped you wouldn't. No, that's not what I meant.
JASMINE: Who are you? Tell me the truth!
ALADDIN: The truth? The truth...the truth is...I sometimes dress as a commoner to escape the pressures of palace life. But I really am a prince!
JASMINE: Why didn't you just tell me?
ALADDIN: Well, you know, um...royalty going out into the city in disguise, it sounds a little strange, don't you think?
JASMINE: Not that strange.
Yes, telling the truth is hard…especially for Aladdin in this situation. He just keeps digging himself deeper into this prince lie. Jasmine has seen through it partially for now, but he still hasn't come totally clean with her. When does he plan to do this? On their 25th anniversary?
