Dialogue
[edit]- Iago: [smears dirt all over himself] I'll just get Aladdin on my side with a little sympathy act. And I'll be back in the palace quicker than you can say "Easy Street." [Aladdin turns corner to find him, who's pretending to pant for breath] Aladdin! I've finally got free...of Jafar.
- Aladdin: [angrily surprised] Iago! What are you doing here?
- Iago: Where are you? Getting dark. Hold me... [Aladdin tries to grab him] AHH! Hey, I meant gentle-like!
- Genie: [returns to Agrabah] He's big! He's blue! He's BACK!
- [Aladdin and Jasmine embrace him]
- Aladdin: Genie!
- Jasmine: You came back!
- Genie: [turns red; winces] WATCH THE SUNBURN! [turns blue again] A-ha! Kidding. Did ya miss me? Be honest.
- Abis Mal: [to himself after Aladdin robbed him] That stinkin' Aladdin. First chance I get, I'll slice him in half.
- Thief: [to other thieves] That stinking Abis Mal. First chance we get, let's slice him in half.
- Abis Mal: [to the thieves] Hey, get over here and wash up! It's bad enough having to look at you without having to smell you.
- Thief: [to the other thieves] Come. We do it now. No witnesses. [draws his sword]
- Abis Mal: [takes a pail out of the well and dumps some water on top of himself, and Jafar's lamp falls out of the pail and hits him on the head] Ow! What is this? So help me, I'll sue whoever runs this well! A lamp? [picks it up] Well... [laughs] It might be worth a few shekels once it's cleaned up. [rubs it]
- Thief: It will be of little use to you, Abis Mal, except to light your way in the valley of the dead. [the thieves pull out their swords ready strike Abis Mal; red smoke suddenly erupts from the lamp] It is bewitched!
- [All the thieves except Abis Mal get on their horses and ride away in panic. Jafar's evil laugh is heard as he comes out]
- Jafar: I am FREE!! Free to exact vengeance upon he who has imprisoned me!
- [Jafar attempts to leave but can't as his shackles prevent him from leaving the proximity of his lamp]
- Jafar: It is the curse of the lamp. All the power in the universe, and I am bound by the rules of the GENIE! Which means, I can't kill that upstart Aladdin! Unless I have someone arrange it for me. Take me to Agrabah at ONCE!
- [Abis Mal cowards and speaks nervous gibberish]
- Jafar: I suppose I am a bit too much for his limited mind. [reforms to his human form] I trust you'll find me a little less overwhelming now?
- Abis Mal: You're...a genie?
- Jafar: You are astonishingly perceptive.
- Abis Mal: Um, eh, um– If you're a genie, then, eh, don't I get...wishes?
- Jafar: Yes, three wishes. That is a minor formality. But first, I must go to Agrabah. You will take the lamp there for me.
- Abis Mal: Then, uh, ahem...you need me. I'll, uh, take you to Agrabah, but first, I want my wishes.
- [Jafar is angry, releasing red laser-like powers to zap Abis Mal so close and he’s about to strike a punch]
- Jafar: Why, you...! You shall have your wishes.
- Abis Mal: I shall? I mean, of course I shall! I want, uh, I want riches, treasure! Let's see– I know, um– Uh, I wish for the legendary sunken treasure ship of Coeur du Mer!
- Jafar: Your wish is my command.
- [Jafar teleports both of them in the middle of the sea, where Abis Mal is drowning]
- Jafar: Poor sweet baby. Aren't we enjoying our wish?
- Abis Mal: [bubbling] No!
- [An octopus grabs Abis Mal]
- Jafar: Perhaps you wish me to return you to the desert?
- Abis Mal: [bubbling] Yes!
- Jafar: Very well.
- [Jafar teleports both him and Abis Mal back to the desert; Abis Mal spits out water]
- Jafar: That was two wishes. Take your time with the third, or you'll wish you had never been born.
- [Abis Mal gulps in utter fear]
- Jafar: On the other hand, if you cooperate with me, I will see that you are amply rewarded.
- Abis Mal: Rewarded?
- Jafar: First, you will help me get revenge on a certain street rat by the name of...Aladdin!
- Abis Mal: [gasps] Aladdin?! I want revenge on him too! He robbed me, turned my men against me, and he fought dirty! My brilliant swordsmanship availed me not! [accidentally slices his belt, making his pants fall] Oh, I hate when I do that.
- Jafar: Let's not be too hasty, my simple-minded friend. It's not enough that we simply destroy Aladdin. After all, there are things so much worse than death!
- Genie: [catches Aladdin and Jasmine on tape] Rolling! Today's special moments are tomorrow's memories. [to Jasmine] Looking great, Jazz. [to Aladdin] More emotion, Al. Tilt your chin a bit.
- Iago: [furiously flies up to the camera] What does he have to do to make it clear to you lunkheads?! [pushes Genie out of the way] The show's over. They want to be alone! Break it up!
- Genie: [runs up to Jasmine with Abu to catch up to Aladdin and the Sultan] Make room for the picnic boys!
- Jasmine: They already left, Genie.
- Genie: [gasps] Without us?!
- Abu: Without us?
- Genie: No problem. I'll catch up in a flash!
- Jasmine: Wait! Without me, too. Aladdin needs some time alone with Father to patch things up.
- Genie: [to Abu] You know what this means, monkey boy? [Abu nods] More food for us!
- [After defeating Jafar, everyone gathers around Iago, who appears as though injured and unconscious]
- Aladdin: But...I thought a Genie can't kill you.
- Iago: [coughs, as he awakens] You'd be surprised what you can live through. [coughs again]
- Aladdin: Alright!
- Jasmine: Oh, Iago!
- Genie: [laughs] He's ALIVE! [turns into a rocket and explodes]
- Abis Mal: [last lines after the credits] Does this mean I don't get my third wish?
