If it weren’t for the death of my father, I’d be happier now than I’ve ever been. I’m free here. Having the freedom to choose is better than having everything you want.” “You’d better convince the people of Agrabah that,” Aladdin said wryly. “Otherwise they’ll never back you. So far they seem to prefer full bellies and no choice.”
