Jaffar Quotes in The Thief of Bagdad (1940)

Astrologer: But she loves the blind man.

Jaffar: Do you call the lisping of two children in the garden love? Love she has yet to learn and I have yet to teach her.

Jaffar: Forget Ahmad. He's no longer blind. For a man with eyes the world is full of women. Only I am cursed, that I can see only you.

Ahmad: Are men only to be ruled by fear?

Jaffar: Men are evil. Hatred behind their eyes, lies on their lips, betrayal in their hearts. You will learn one day, Great King, that there are three things that men respect: the lash that descends, the yoke that breaks, and the sword that slays. By the power and terror of these you may conquer the earth.

Jaffar: Why do you close your eyes? There's little time left to see him.

Jaffar: Strange how an unpleasant child can make a decent dog!

Jaffar: Beware of your ambition, Soukra! You must be second to someone, why not me?

Soukra: Have you taken your medication this morning?

Jaffar: I'm warning you! You are forcing me to carry out my most devastating act of magical madness!

Jaffar: No one is going to save you! And no one... not Prince Ali... not even his friend Sinbad, the man who I hate more than hate itself, will stand between me... and my heart's desire!... Ha!

Jaffar: [to a gem] For the last time... I command you, in the name of all that is evil... budge! Budge!
