Max: "You're leaving. You can't. I haven't made my third wish yet!"

Max: "Wait, you don't understand. What's happening to you?"

Kazaam: "I don't know. I just feel... I feel... free."

Kazaam: "In 5,000 years, you're the only friend I ever had; and when you needed me the most, I wasn't there. If I have to spent another 5,000 years in a lamp, a compass, or even that stupid boom box, I wouldn't care. I just wish I could've granted your wish. I wish I could've filled your heart; [speaks foreign]. You, you are the sultan's gold, Max. I... I am Kazaam."

Nick: "You don't want to live my life, you got a choice. I don't. You understand? A guy like me, you can't just walk away and pretend all this didn't happen. Do you know how many cops would love to lock me up? All right, look. I want to tell you something. Let me tell you something. You get no second chances in life. You get no second chances, remember that."

Kazaam: "Let's green egg and ham it."

Max: "You ARE a genie!"

Kazaam: "What's the matter, your tongue is broken? At a time like this, you should be stokin'."

Alice: "That's right, it's poisoned. I figured if I ended your suffering, mine would end too."

Kazaam: "Grab my belly and make a wish."

Max: "You smell like hippopotamus butt."

Kazaam: "*smells pit* Damn."

Max: "In that case, I wish I was big as you but not so stupid!"

Kazaam: "That's not a wish, that's an insult!"

Nick Matteo: "Tell me, you booked in or you just come out and scared the hell out of us."

School Bully: "Hey, I wanna talk to you!"

Kazaam: "You popped the box, so make a wish! Wish for a castle, a fancy chariot! I don't care what you do, I gotta obey the rules. I can't show my magic to anybody but you, and I can't get back into my box until you make your three wishes. Now deal with it!"

Max: "*riding his bike* Deal with this!"

Kazaam: "I AM KAZAAM!"

Max: "Listen, Mr. Psycopathic dork in the basement, I don't think you're ordering anybody!"
