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 : Oh, it is you!
The Evil Moroccan Magician : Yes, it is I! And now, you must obey my every command.
Genie : What if I choose instead to set fire to your beard?

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!

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.
-
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.

Genie : Your wish is my command.

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...
