Aladdin Society and Class Quotes

How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Aladdin.

Quote #7

GUARD: It's the dungeon for you, boy.

ALADDIN: Hey, get off of me!

JASMINE: Let go of him.

GUARD: Look what we have here, men—a street mouse.

JASMINE: Unhand him, by order of the princess.

GUARD: Princess Jasmine.

ALADDIN: The princess?

ABU: The princess?

GUARD: What are you doing outside the palace? And with this street rat?

JASMINE: That's not your concern. Do as I command. Release him!

GUARD: Well, I would, princess, but my orders come from Jafar. You'll have to take it up with him.

Way to pull rank, Jasmine. After getting a taste of what life is like for the poor folk of Agrabah, the princess decides she doesn't like it one bit. She also doesn't have to take it. She removes her disguise and demands the privileges her class affords her. Aladdin isn't so lucky.

Quote #8

ALADDIN: I'm a fool

OLD MAN: You're only a fool if you give up, boy.

ALADDIN: Who are you?

OLD MAN: A lowly prisoner, like yourself. But together, perhaps we can be more.

ALADDIN: I'm listening.

OLD MAN: There is a cave, boy. A cave of wonders. Filled with treasures beyond your wildest dreams. Treasure enough to impress even your princess, I'd wager […].

ALADDIN: But the law says that only a prince can marry—

OLD MAN: You've heard of the golden rule, haven't you boy? Whoever has the gold makes the rules.

Aladdin's seen enough of life to know that the old man has a point. If he gets enough treasure, he might be able to get closer to Jasmine and have a chance with her. Money can buy you food…and access to the upper class.

Quote #9

JASMINE: Hmm. I'm rich too, you know.

ALADDIN: Yeah!

JASMINE: The daughter of a sultan

ALADDIN: I know.

JASMINE: A fine prize for any prince to marry.

ALADDIN: Uh, right. Right. A prince like me.

GENIE: Warning! Warning!

JASMINE: Right, a prince like you. And every other stuffed shirt, swaggering, peacock I've met!

GENIE: Mayday! Mayday!

JASMINE: Just go jump off a balcony!

ALADDIN: What?

GENIE: Stop her! Stop her! Do you want me to sting her?

ALADDIN: Buzz off!

GENIE: Okay, fine. But remember—bee yourself!

ALADDIN: Yeah, right!

JASMINE: What?!

ALADDIN: Uh, you're right. You aren't just some prize to be won. You should be free to make your own choice. I'll go now.

Aladdin's got Jasmine all wrong. He thinks he needs wealth and social status to win her heart, but she fell in love with the poor kid from the marketplace. She doesn't want some high-class prince who's only after money and power. She wants someone who loves her and respects her for who she is.
