Dialogue[edit]

Cave: Who disturbs my slumber?
Gazeem: It is I, Gazeem, a humble thief.
Cave: Know this. Only one may enter here. One whose worth lies far within. A diamond in the rough.

[after Gazeem is consumed by the closing Cave of Wonders]
Iago: I can't believe it! I just don't believe it! We're never gonna get ahold of that stupid lamp! Just forget it! Look at this. Look at this. I'm so ticked off that I'm molting.
Jafar: Patience, Iago, patience. Gazeem was obviously less than worthy.
Iago: Oh, there's a big surprise! That's an incredib... I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from that surprise! What are we gonna do? We got a big problem here, a big... Mmph!
[Jafar grabs Iago's beak to shut him up]
Jafar: Yes. Only one may enter. I must find this one, this... diamond in the rough.

[Jasmine stops at Farouk's fruit stand and sees a young boy reaching for fruit; she picks up an apple and hands it to him]
Jasmine: You must be hungry. Here you go. [the boy runs off]
Farouk: You'd better be able to pay for that.
Jasmine: [turns around] Pay?
Farouk: No one steals from my cart.
Jasmine: I'm sorry, sir. I don't have any money.
Farouk: Thief!
Jasmine: Please. If you let me go to the palace, I can get some from the sultan.
Farouk: Do you know what the penalty is for stealing?!
[he grabs her hand and pins it down on the table, then raises his sword]
Jasmine: No! No, please!
[Aladdin stops Farouk]
Aladdin: Thank you, kind sir. I'm so glad you found her. [to Jasmine] I've been looking for you.
Jasmine: [quietly] What are you doing?
Aladdin: [whispers back] Just play along.
Farouk: You know this girl?
Aladdin: Sadly, yes. She is my sister. She's a little crazy.
Farouk: She said she knew the sultan.
Aladdin: She thinks the monkey is the sultan.
[Jasmine, playing along, kneels and bows to Abu]
Jasmine: Oh, wise Sultan, how may I serve you?
Abu: Well,... [babbles royally]
Aladdin: Tragic, isn't it? [leans forward, picking up another apple from the cart and hands it to Farouk as repayment] But no harm done. [walks over to Jasmine] Now, come along, sis. Time to go see the doctor.
Jasmine: [to a camel standing nearby] Oh, hello, doctor. How are you?
Aladdin: No, no, no, not that one. [to Abu, whose pockets are bulging] Come on, Sultan.
[Abu bows to the crowd until nearly everything he picked up falls out]
Farouk: Huh? What is it? [Abu picks up what he can carry, and the trio run off] Come back here, you little thieves!

[Aladdin finds the lamp in the Cave of Wonders]
Aladdin: This is it? This is what we came all the way down here to..?
[he looks down at Abu about to grab a red ruby from a monkey idol]
Aladdin: Abu! NO!
[Abu grabs the ruby]
Cave: INFIDELS!
Abu: Uh-oh!
Cave: You have touched the forbidden treasure!
[Abu tries to put the ruby back in the idol's palm, but the idol starts to melt away]
Cave: Now you will never again see the light of DAY!!

Jafar: [laughs after the cave closes with Aladdin trapped inside] It's mine. [removes his disguise] It's all mine! I...
[he searches his robe pockets for the lamp, but it is empty]
Jafar: Where is it? No! [falls to his knees] NO!!!

Genie: So what’ll it be, master?
Aladdin: You’re gonna grant me any three wishes I want?
Genie: Ah, almost. There are a few provisos, a couple of quid pro quos.
Aladdin: Like?
Genie: Ah, rule number one: I can’t kill anybody. [slices his head off with his finger] So don’t ask. Rule number two: I can’t make anyone fall in love with anyone else. [Genie's head turns into a big pair of lips which kiss Aladdin] You little punim, there. [lies flat, then gets up and transforms into a zombie ala Peter Lorre] Rule number three: I can’t bring people back from the dead. It’s not a pretty picture. [grabs Aladdin and shakes him] I DON'T LIKE DOING IT! [poofs back to normal] Other than that, you got it!
Aladdin: Ah, provisos? You mean limitations? On wishes? [to Abu] Some all powerful genie. Can’t even bring people back from the dead. I don’t know, Abu. He probably can’t even get us out of this cave. Looks like we’re gonna have to find a way out of here.
Genie: [stomps his foot in front of them] Excuse me? Are you lookin' at me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here? And all of a sudden, you’re walkin' out on me?! I don't think so! Not right now! YOU'RE GETTIN' YOUR WISHES, SO SIT DOWN!!
[Aladdin and Abu sit on the carpet; Genie joins them]
Genie: In case of emergency, the exits are here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, anywhere! Keep your hands and arms inside the carpet! WEEEEEEEEEEEE'RE... [they pop out of the cave and soar into the distance] ...OUTTA HERE!

Genie: [after transforming Aladdin into a prince] He's got the outfit. He's got the elephant. But we're not through yet! Hang on to your turban, kid! We're gonna make you a star!

Aladdin: [to Genie, regretfully] Genie, I can't keep this up on my own. I.....I can't wish you free.
Genie: [obviously hurt] Fine. I understand. After all, you've lied to everyone else. Hey, I was just beginning to feel left out. Now, if you'll excuse me, "Master". [vanishes into his lamp]

Aladdin: Jasmine, I'm sorry I lied to you about being a prince.
Jasmine: I know why you did.
Aladdin: Well, I guess this is goodbye. [Genie pokes his head around the corner shocked at what he is hearing]
Jasmine: Oh, that stupid law. This isn't fair. I love you.
Genie: [wipes away a tear] Al, no problem. You still got one wish left. Just say the word and you're a prince again.
Aladdin: But what about your freedom?
Genie: Hey, it's only an eternity of servitude. This is love. [he leans down next to her] Al, you're not gonna find another girl like her in a million years. Believe me, I know. I've looked.
Aladdin: Jasmine, I do love you. But I gotta stop pretending to be something I'm not.
Jasmine: I understand.
[They take one final look into each other's eyes, then Aladdin turns to the Genie]
Aladdin: Genie, I wish for your freedom.
Genie: One prince pedigree coming up. I... What?
Aladdin: [he holds the lamp up to Genie] Genie, you're free.
[A transformation scene ensues, in which the shackles fall off Genie's wrists and the lamp falls uselessly to the ground. Genie picks it up and looks at it]
Genie: [he can't believe it; laughing] I'm free. I'm free. [he hands the lamp to Aladdin] Quick, quick, wish for something outrageous. Say, "I want the Nile." Wish for the Nile. Try that.
Aladdin: Uh, I wish for the Nile.
Genie: No way. [laughs hysterically. He bounces around the balcony like a pinball] Oh, does that feel good! I'm free. I'm free at last. I'm hittin’ the road. I'm off to see the world. I'm...
[He is packing a suitcase, but looks down and sees Aladdin looking very sad]
Aladdin: Genie, I'm... I'm gonna miss you.
Genie: [smiling, with a tear in his eye] Me too, Al. No matter what anybody says, you'll always be a prince to me.
[They hug. The Sultan steps forward]
Sultan: That's right. You've certainly proven your worth as far as I'm concerned. It's that law that's the problem.
Jasmine: Father?
Sultan: Well, am I sultan or am I sultan? From this day forth, the princess shall marry whoever she deems worthy.
Jasmine: [she smiles widely and runs into Aladdin's arms] Him. I choose... I choose you, Aladdin.
Aladdin: [laughs] Call me Al.
[They are about to kiss when giant blue hands pull everybody together. Genie is decked out in a Hawaiian shirt with golf clubs and a Goofy hat]
Genie: All of you, come over here. Big group hug. Do you mind if I kiss the monkey? [he kisses Abu] Ooh, hairball. Well, I can't do any more damage around this popsicle stand. [takes off] I'm outta here! Bye-bye, you two crazy lovebirds! Hey, Rugman, Ciao, I'm history. No, I'm mythology. I don't care what I am! I'm free-hee!

About Aladdin[edit]

  • I saw something that speculates that the peddler at the beginning of 'Aladdin' is the Genie. That's true!"
  • One of the things [directors] Ron [Clements], John [Musker], and I were talking about was that, originally, when he came in to the first session, he said, “Do you want me to do kind of an ethnic voice for the Genie?” And we said, “No, no, just be yourself.” And we realized later that “being yourself” for Robin Williams is like being 98 different characters at once. [Laughs].
