Aladdin/Quotes

## Before First Curse

### *Street Rats* (Season 6, Episode 5)

**Jafar**: (*to citizens of Agrabah*) The Sultan does not tolerate thieves in Agrabah. And more importantly, neither do I. Our city has become overrun. You vermin... nothing more than street rats. (*transforms thieves into rats*) Now, as you should be. (*Aladdin pickpockets passersby, before hiding in a stall*)

**Princess Jasmine**: (*enters*) So are you as bold as they say?

**Aladdin**: Bold? Uh, no, just late for work at the, uh, bakery. Look at the time! Gotta get that yeast rising, you know?

**Princess Jasmine**: You're not a baker.

**Aladdin**: Well, the truth about that is -

**Princess Jasmine**: And you're a terrible liar. Relax, I'm not here to report you. I'm here to hire you, Aladdin.

**Aladdin**: Well, I'm at a disadvantage. Who are you? (*Jasmine removes her shawl*) You're the princess. Jasmine. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at, like, a palace or something?

**Princess Jasmine**: I don't care for the palace, thank you very much. Not since Jafar became my father the Sultan's advisor. He's a despot. He's taking advantage of my father's kind heart and destroying Agrabah from the inside, starving citizens and delivering brutal justice when they're just trying to grab a crust of bread for their families. That's why I've come to you.

**Aladdin**: You want me to steal bread?

**Princess Jasmine**: *No*! I want you to help me defeat Jafar.

**Aladdin**: Defeat Jafar? Did you miss what he just did? He turned *people* into *rats*. He has magic!

**Princess Jasmine**: Please! Only you can do this. I need your help, Aladdin. Agrabah needs your help.

**Aladdin**: Sorry, Princess. Only person I help is me.

**Princess Jasmine**: Look in your pocket.

**Aladdin**: What?

**Princess Jasmine**: Look! The Golden Scarab of Agrabah. One of the great royal treasures.

**Aladdin**: Take it back. I don't care how much you're paying me.

**Princess Jasmine**: Oh, you don't understand. It's not payment. (*screaming*) Oh, no! It's missing! The royal scarab! Thief!

**Aladdin**: Shh! Okay! Okay, shh! Okay, I'll do it. I'll do it. So, what are we stealing?

**Princess Jasmine**: Nothing much. Just the most powerful magic in all the realm. A weapon known as the Diamond in the Rough.

**Aladdin**: Right.

**Aladdin**: So, this Diamond in the Rough. It's a jewel? A weapon?

**Princess Jasmine**: You'll learn all you need to once we reach the Cave of Wonders.

**Aladdin**: Cave of Wonders?

**Princess Jasmine**: The stories say that's where it will be discovered.

**Aladdin**: Stories? This... this journey's based on stories?

**Princess Jasmine**: I was a bored princess in a palace full of books. I did some reading.

**Aladdin**: This, um, Cave of Wonders... it's "wonders"? Plural? 'Cause as silly as the name sounds, wonders can be profitable.

**Princess Jasmine**: This is not a scavenger hunt!

**Aladdin**: That's exactly what it is, actually.

**Princess Jasmine**: What it is, is serious. Please stop thinking of only yourself!

**Aladdin**: Your Highness is rather judgy.

**Princess Jasmine**: Hey, I could be back at my palace comfortable, even with Jafar! I'm out here trying to make a change, to better the world.

**Aladdin**: You do realize it's been suffering for a long time?

**Princess Jasmine**: What?

**Aladdin**: You can't blame it all on Jafar. See, being stuck inside those palace walls surrounded by books, you don't see it.

**Princess Jasmine**: See what?

**Aladdin**: The capital's been suffering for a long time. Only when your family was personally affected did you decide to get heroic.

**Princess Jasmine**: Well, better late then never.

**Princess Jasmine**: You have magic!

**Aladdin**: Did you know this would happen?

**Princess Jasmine**: Well, I didn't know the column would fall on us, but yes. I suspected something, and now you've proven it true.

**Aladdin**: Proven what?

**Princess Jasmine**: That wasn't the Diamond in the Rough. *You* are! *You're* the weapon! You can challenge Jafar and defeat him. You're going to be the savior of Agrabah!

**Jafar**: Oh, hello, Aladdin. So how does it feel to be the savior?

**Aladdin**: Feels pretty good, 'cause I get to defeat you. Isn't that part of the job description?

**Jafar**: (*laughs*) Yeah. Perhaps that, too. But what happens then?

**Aladdin**: I live happily ever after?

**Jafar**: Not quite. Would you like to see what happens to your little hero endeavor, hmm? (*about Iago*) This is no ordinary bird. It's a type of an oracle. (*Aladdin sees horrifying visions*) And what it's showing you now is your future. Not pretty, is it? But death is the fate of all saviors.

**Aladdin**: Is there any way to change it?

**Jafar**: Well, your future's not set in stone yet. There is a way to alter your destiny with these. (*reveals Shears of Destiny*) Once belonging to the three fates, these shears can sever the ties to your own destiny. You will live, and you will no longer be a savior.

**Aladdin**: So, I... I won't have any power?

**Jafar**: But you'll live a long, prosperous, happy life, paid for by all the treasures from the Cave of Wonders. You said it yourself, Aladdin. You didn't ask to be a savior. And perhaps when you're free, you can buy yourself a new title. Doesn't "Prince Aladdin" sound so much more appealing than "dead savior"?

### *The Savior* (Season 6, Episode 1)

**Jafar**: Look at the great Aladdin now. And to think you could have escaped this fate!

**Aladdin**: If you're gonna kill me, just get it over with.

**Jafar**: No, not a chance. I want to savor this. Do you remember when we first met? You were nothing but a common thief. But you had honor, despite what you did to me. The irony's delicious. It took becoming a hero for you to completely come apart. But that's what always happens to saviors, isn't it? It's the fate of saviors. You give and give and give... and for what? They pick the fruit, they cut the branches, and all that's left is this... shaky stump. That's why you never, ever hear these words about a savior - "They lived happily ever after." (*chuckles*) Do take care, Aladdin.

## After Third Curse

### *Street Rats* (Season 6, Episode 5)

**Aladdin**: Hey there, princess.

**Princess Jasmine**: Aladdin? I thought you were dead!

**Aladdin**: I thought I'd never see you again. (*they hug*) So, no what?

**Princess Jasmine**: Now, you need to help me. That's why I've been searching for you. Agrabah is in terrible danger. We need the savior!

**Aladdin**: Yeah, um... about that...

### *I'll Be Your Mirror* (Season 6, Episode 8)

**Princess Jasmine**: Are you serious? You want us to steal a wand from the Dark One?

**Belle**: No. (*points to Aladdin*) I want *him* to steal a wand. He is supposed to be the best thief in town.

**Aladdin**: Best thief in *any* town, just to be clear.

**Princess Jasmine**: (*to Aladdin*) You can't do this. You need to help me find Agrabah, our home. This is a suicide mission which has nothing to do with you.

**Zelena**: Actually, it's got *everything* to do with him.

**Princess Jasmine**: Sorry, who are you?

**Zelena**: You know those golden shear thingies... The only reason they're even *in* Storybrooke is because of your boyfriend.

**Princess Jasmine**: Uh... Actually, we're...

**Aladdin**: We're not exactly...

**Zelena**: Yeah, I don't care. See, when you tried to play hero giving them to Emma, like most acts of idiotic heroism, it failed, and now Rumple's got them.

**Aladdin**: Okay, I don't like this one. You really think that this is my fault?

**Belle**: I think that you used to be the savior. And if there's any part of you that's still a hero, then you are gonna help me escape from this beast.

### *Wish You Were Here* (Season 6, Episode 10)

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: I believe I have three wishes.

**Aladdin**: Go ahead, wish. They always come with a price.

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: That they do. Which is why I'm not going to wish for something for me. (*to Emma*) I'm going to give you something... something you've always wanted. Something you confided about to Aladdin.

**Emma Swan**: You heard us?

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: Don't you know by now? I hear *everything*. You wished you weren't the savior. So that's exactly what you're going to get. Genie of Agrabah, I wish that Emma Swan's wish - to have never been the savior - be granted.

**Emma Swan**: No! (*Aladdin teleports Emma to the Wish Realm*)

**Prince Charming**: Emma!

**Captain Hook**: What happened? Where did she go?!

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: I know you better than anyone, Regina. I *am* you. And there was a time when all you wanted was to tear Snow and Charming apart and kick Emma Swan out of your town. And *I* just did *both*. A toast... To you. To *me*! To *us*. That's why you'll never be happy. You've won, and you can't even admit it! If you could, you'd see that victory feels luxurious.

**Regina Mills**: Yes, I may not be able to get ahold of that genie lamp, but you're right. We *are* the same person, which means... you're not the only master of the lamp.

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: No...

**Aladdin**: Yes!

**Regina Mills**: Genie of the Lamp, I wish to be sent to the same place as Emma Swan.

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: No!

**Aladdin**: Your wish is my command, Master. (*teleports Regina to the Wish Realm*)

**Evil Queen (Serum)**: *No*!
