Jafar – Well?
RQ – She’s back.
Jafer – And what is the girl doing now?
RQ – Looking for her genie, of course. Isn’t that what we wanted, Jafar?
Jafar – What we want can’t be accomplished until we have the genie’s bottle, and the girl’s made all her wishes. so I’d say, perhaps you shouldn’t be so pleased with yourself.
RQ – Do not talk down to me, Jafar. I’m the Queen.
Jafar – That’s the thing about power, it can be so fleeting.
RQ – Is that a threat?
Jafar – No, threats are for people who aren’t prepared to act.
RQ – You need me.
Jaffar – Not any more.
RQ – But I did what you could not, I brought Alice back to Wonderland.
Jafar – Which mean your work and your usefulness, is done. I’ll take it from here.
RQ – *being choked* Do you know where she is? That’s right, you don’t. You’re not in Agrabah any more, darling. This is my world, which means only I know exactly where she is. Only I know exactly where she’s going. So if you want my help, yes, our deal remains. I will get you those wishes.
Jafar – In return for what, exactly?
RQ – All in due time. So why don’t you get on that raggedy carpet of yours, and fly away. And let me take care of Alice.
Jafar – For your sake, I hope you do.
Cheshire Cat says, “The Red Queen promised you’d be the sweetest meat I’ve ever tasted.” So it sounds like perhaps RQ doesn’t actually give a crap about Jafar getting his wishes, she just wants Alice dead? Though what she said to WR suggests she’s got something more complex in mind. “I said we’d settle up when the game was complete, we are still setting up the board. As for your friend Alice, I need you to report everything she does, where she goes, who she talks to, what she is thinking. I need more than my eyes, I need your ears.” And I guess she must want something more than just Alice getting dead, otherwise why go into business with Jafar in the first place? I’m assuming that whole deal where RQ knocked Cyrus off the cliff and he landed on the carpet was all planned, and it wasn’t just Jafar getting lucky? If so, they’ve been working together even before Alice left WL last time.
