A scene from Aladdin 2019
Jafar

As the old man said, “You should have left Agrabah when you had the chance.” I told you before to think bigger. You could have been the most powerful man in the room. But now, I hold the lamp. I hold the power.

Aladdin

You can’t find what you’re looking for in that lamp, Jafar. I tried and failed, and so will you.

Jafar

You think so? But I am Sultan! I am the greatest sorcerer the world has ever seen. I will create an empire that history cannot ignore. I can destroy cities. I can destroy kingdoms. And I can destroy you.

Aladdin

True. But who made you a sultan? Who made you a sorcerer? There will always be some thing, some man, some being more powerful than you.

Genie

What are you doing?

Aladdin

Genie gave you your power, and he can take it away.

Jafar

HE SERVES ME!

Aladdin

For now. But you’ll never have more power than the genie. You said it yourself, you’re either the most powerful in the room, or you’re nothing. You will always be second.

Iago

Second. Second. [squawks, then cackles]

Jafar

Second?! Only second?! HE SERVES ME!! I will make sure no one will ever say these words again! Genie, for my final wish, I wish to become the most powerful being in the universe! More powerful than you!

Genie

A lot of gray area in that wish. But, uh, the most powerful being in the universe, coming right up!

Jafar

[Genie transforms Jafar into a genie]

The most powerful in the universe! At last! Second to no one! And I thought I had power before! First, I’ll lay waste to those fools in Sherabad.

Jafar

[as he tries to use his magic to destroy Sherabad, his own shackles appear]

What have you done to me?

Aladdin

I haven’t done anything to you, Jafar.

Jafar

What have you done to me?!

Aladdin

This was your wish, not mine. A genie might have phenomenal cosmic powers…

Genie

But an itty-bitty living space. You see, a genie without a master, goes back in their lamp.

Jafar

[Jafar's prison lamp appears taking his base]

I will not forget you, boy! Mark my words. I will not forget what you have done to me!

Iago

Goodbye, Jafar!

Jafar

[Screams]

PARROT, YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!!! [he grabs Iago as he gets sucked into his lamp]
