'''Mr. Newton:''' Sam Graddy is the second-fastest man alive and it doesn't mean a damn thing.

If you win the bronze, you think: "Well, at least I got ''something''." But if you win that silver, it's like: "Congratulations! You... ''almost'' won." "Of all the losers, you came in first of that group." "You're the number one... loser." "No one lost... ahead of you."''

'''Jafar''': And you think second is enough?\\
'''Henchman''': Of course. You were not born to be Sultan.\\
'''Jafar''': Do you know what I had to do to get the power that I have? The sacrifices that I've made? The bodies that I've buried? The five years spent in a Sherabad jail? People need to understand that they will pay for underestimating me. Second is not enough! And it will never be enough!
