The story so far
Everything you need before watchingPrince Ali arrives at the palace with Genie whispering in his ear. The welcome already wobbles: a broken ornament, a curtsy instead of a bow, and a country that is both north and south. Then the gifts: tiny spoons, yam jams, jewels, a wheel hidden for suspense. Jasmine asks what he hopes to buy with all this expense. He says you. She hears a price tag and walks out. Watch a royal greeting collapse into the worst clarification.

Golden lines

先点错,再给对,两拍纠正,宫廷里最狠的小声课。
That's a X, not a Y.
当面纠正别人用错了礼节、动作或称呼时。
That's a nod, not a bow. / That's a wave, not a salute.
informal
curtsy 后微停,bow 下沉,Stand up 加快。
“Are you suggesting I am for sale?”
你是在暗示我可以拿来卖吗?
suggesting 把误会抬成指控,for sale 三个音节钉死尊严。
Are you suggesting + 从句
对方话里把你物化、贬低,你要当场拆穿时。
Are you saying I can be bought? / Do you mean I'm on the market?
formal
suggesting 拉长,for sale 升调质问。
“Don't worry. You are not out of the game yet.”
