How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Aladdin.
Quote #7
GENIE: 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.
GENIE: Hey, I understand. After all, you've lied to everyone else. Hey, I was beginning to feel left out. Now, if you'll excuse me, master.
Harsh words, Genie, but true. Aladdin made a promise, and he broke it. He's dug himself in deep with these fibs, and now he can't set the Genie free. Which means he lied to the Genie when he said he would set him free. The Genie calls this out for what it is.
Quote #8
ALADDIN: What am I doing? Genie's right—I gotta tell Jasmine the truth.
JASMINE: Ali, oh Ali—will you come here?
ALADDIN: Well, here goes.
Okay, so we'll give Aladdin some credit here. He does want to do the right thing, but then that weird thing happens in movies when one person tries to confess everything, but no one will let it happen. Seriously, if someone in real life tells you, "I have to tell you something," you drop everything and listen, right?
Quote #9
JAFAR: So Ali turns out to be merely Aladdin Just a con, need I go on? Take it from me His personality flaws Give me adequate cause To send him packing on a one-way trip So his prospects take a terminal dip His assets frozen, the venue chosen Is the ends of the earth, whoopee! So long, Ex-Prince Ali!
It's kind of a bummer that Jafar doesn't get a really good villain song in Aladdin. He does get this reprise of "Prince Ali," though, in which he unmasks Aladdin's lies and exposes him for the street rat he really is. It's embarrassing, but we can't say Aladdin didn't have it coming.
