Quotes
-
Aladdin : Where do you come from?
Genie : Originally?
[Aladdin nods]
Genie : I was born from the thundering wind, that blew from the mouth of the Great White Bear, who came from the fiery yellow Sun, who is the eye of the all-powerful being whose name I am forbidden to speak! And you are?
Aladdin : Aladdin. I... was born from Mustafa the tailor. And that's my mother there, passed out from fright.
Genie : [laughs] Amusing!
-
Aladdin : If you can't build what I want...
Genie : You dare insult me? Why? I can build the finest palace in the whole of the universe!
Aladdin : Great! Have it done tomorrow.
Genie : Tomorrow? Tomorrow? Monday?
Aladdin : Uh, yes, that's right.
Genie : Why, I should take your miserable little head and crush it in my hand like an insect, and spread it on the sand it does not deserve to return to!
Aladdin : What'd I say?
Genie : MONDAY! It is a day of rest for all genies! We neither work, nor sleep, nor play; we simply rest!
Aladdin : Tuesday will be fine.
Genie : [laughs] As you wish.
-
Genie : What do you need?
Aladdin : I need a gift for the Sultan.
Genie : Gold! In the twinkling of an eye, I shall fill the palace with a mountain of gold.
Aladdin : No, no, it must be something that's more...
Genie : Jewels! With the snap of my tremendous fingers, I shall create a diamond the size of the moon.
Aladdin : No, it must be something that he...
Genie : Silver! Easily done!
Aladdin : Will you listen?
Genie : Don't you dare speak to me in that tone of voice!
-
The Evil Moroccan Magician : When I heard of my brother's death, I came as quickly as possible.
Aladdin : My father's been dead a long time.
The Evil Moroccan Magician : I was very, very far away.
-
Aladdin : The Grand Vizier is gonna marry Princess Sabrina, and I want...
Genie : And you want to give them a beautiful wedding gift! Very well!
Aladdin : No, no! I wanted to marry her, and something went wrong...
Genie : I see! You want me to kill you, and put you out of your misery! As you wish!
Aladdin : No! Please listen!
Genie : [laughs] Your wish is my command.
-
The Evil Moroccan Magician : You must do exactly as I say! Drop into this hole into the cave below. You'll go through a long, narrow passageway. Do not touch the walls! If you do, you'll die instantly! At the end of the passageway, you'll come to a large, shadowy room with two large fruit trees. Continue beyond those trees; on top of a gargoyle pedestal, you'll find a lamp. You bring this lamp to me, my friend, and we'll be rich beyond our wildest dreams!
Aladdin : Listen, you know exactly where it is, why don't you go? I'll wait here, I promise.
The Evil Moroccan Magician : You idiot! I'm your uncle! Now go!
-
The Evil Moroccan Magician : [seeing Aladdin's mother] Oh! You must be--oh, what an honor! And so beautiful!
Aladdin's Mother : Aladdin, who is your friend?
Aladdin : He's my long-lost uncle, Mother.
The Evil Moroccan Magician : And this must be the place where my dear departed brother reclined. I must sit in it. No--it's a hallowed spot. Such a tragedy that he's gone!
[weeps]
Aladdin's Mother : In all the years I was married to Mustafa, he never mentioned a brother.
The Evil Moroccan Magician : I'm not surprised; we didn't get along.
-
Genie : At last! Fresh air!
Aladdin : Who are you?
Genie : Who am I? You ask WHO AM I? I am the genie of the lamp! And being bottled up for thousands of years has made me extremely short-tempered. So I ask you, how do you wish to die?
Aladdin : I don't wish to die!
Genie : [laughs] Good answer. Not to worry! I cannot kill you! You are now my master, and I am here to grant you any wish that you may desire.
-
Aladdin : I want you to go to the palace tomorrow, and tell the Sultan I wish to marry his daughter, Mother.
Aladdin's Mother : Oh, I think I prefer to stay alive instead, Aladdin.
-
Aladdin : I'm starving. Can I have something to eat, please?
Aladdin's Mother : Of course. I have a bean and a fig. Which would you prefer?
-
Aladdin : Now if you'd be so kind, I'd like you to...
Genie : Transport you and your palace back to where it belongs, of course!
Aladdin : You still haven't learned to listen, have you?
[the genie laughs]
Aladdin : You can take the palace back, but the Princess and I, we'd like to take the carpet, if you don't mind.
Genie : I don't mind!
-
Genie : My little master! What took you so long? Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to get so emotional. How may I serve you?
Aladdin : Well, you can start by disposing of that.
The Evil Moroccan Magician : I wouldn't be in too much of a hurry...
-
Aladdin : Do you mind if I ask you a question? Do you believe in love at first sight?
Princess Sabrina : Well, I believe in love. Now can I ask you a question? Where am I?
Aladdin : Oh, you're in my room.
Princess Sabrina : How did I get here?
Aladdin : In a stream of pink smoke. Just call it magic.
Princess Sabrina : Oh, you're a magician?
Aladdin : Me? No, I have a friend who's a magician. Uh, he's not exactly a magician; he's real similar.
-
Aladdin : Mother, mother, mother! I'm in love and I want to get married.
Aladdin's Mother : Praise be to Allah! My son's become a man! And who is the fortunate young maiden?
Aladdin : She's the most beautiful woman in the world! Princess Sabrina, daughter of the Sultan.
Aladdin's Mother : Oh son, dear son. She's royalty; you're... not. The two shall never entwine.
-
Sultan : Oh, Aladdin! How was your journey? You were missed, my son.
Aladdin : Speaking of missing, have you seen my palace?
Sultan : [laughs] Oh, how you amuse me! Your palace is where it has always been, right over there.
[looks]
Sultan : Well, it was there this morning. What have you done with your palace, Aladdin?
-
Aladdin's Mother : No, no, no. I don't want it around the house. Get rid of it!
Aladdin : But Mother, it's a magic lamp with a real genie inside.
Aladdin's Mother : Genie! Looks like a nightmare to me.
Aladdin : Please, can't I keep it?
Aladdin's Mother : No!
Aladdin : But I'll take care of it, I promise!
Aladdin's Mother : Oh, very well.
Aladdin : Thanks mom!
Aladdin's Mother : Keep it out of my sight!
-
Princess Sabrina : No boy has ever really looked at me before.
Aladdin : Well, what do you expect? It's punishable by death to see the princess in daylight.
Princess Sabrina : It is? Oh, well that explains it.
