Aladdin -- The Complete Script Compiled by Ruth ******* (Title. The sand blows away and we see a PEDDLER riding through the desert.) PEDDLER: Oh, I come from a land From a faraway place Where the caravan camels roam Where it's flat and immense And the heat is intense It's barbaric, but hey -- it's home! When the wind's from the east And the sun's from the west And the sand in the glass is right Come on down, stop on by Hop a carpet and fly To another Arabian night Arabian nights, like Arabian days More often than not Are hotter than hot In a lot of good ways Arabian nights, 'neath Arabian moons A fool off his guard Could fall and fall hard Out there on the dunes ... (The PEDDLER slides off the camel he was riding and bows to it. The camel collapses from exhaustion. The PEDDLER notices the AUDIENCE he has, and turns to greet them.) PEDDLER: Ah, Salaam and good evening to you, worthy friend. Please, please come closer! (The camera zooms in way too far and hits the PEDDLER, squashing his face against it.) Too close, a little too close. (The camera zooms out again.) There. Welcome to Agrabah. City of mystery (he lights a match), of enchantment (he hugs his camel), and the finest merchandise this side of the river Jordan on sale today, come on down! Heh heh. (He very quickly pulls an entire stall off the camel's back and sets it up, pushing a banner over the front that says SALE. He picks up the first item.) Look at this! Yes! Hee hee. Combination hook and coffee-maker -- also makes Julienne fries! (He demonstrates this.) It will not break! (He taps it on the table.) It will not -- (it falls apart) -- it broke. (He throws it away and moves onto the next item.) Ooohhh! Look at this! I have never seen one of these in tact before ... (he turns the box over, examining it.) This is the famous Dead Sea Tupperware. Listen ... (he opens the box and makes a raspberry sound.) Ah! Still good! (He chuckles. The camera begins to pan away from him, to the right, and the PEDDLER hurries to catch up to it.) Wait, don't go! (The camera stops.) I can see that you're only interested in the exceptionally rare. I think then you would be most rewarded to consider ... this. (He pulls the MAGIC LAMP from his sleeve.) Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside ... but what is inside that counts. (He opens the top of the lamp and looks inside, then closes it again. The camera starts to pan away again, this time to the left. Again, the PEDDLER hurries to catch up.) This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man's life. A young man, who, like this lamp, was more than what he seemed. A Diamond in the Rough. Perhaps you would like to hear the tale? (He drops to a mysterious-sounding voice and tilts the lamp so that shiny sand pours from it into his hand.) It begins on a dark night ... (He throws the sand into the sky where it becomes stars) ... where a dark man waits ... with a dark purpose ... (The camera tilts downwards from the sky to show JAFAR sitting on his horse and IAGO sitting on JAFAR'S shoulder. Another horseman rides up to the pair. This is GAZEEM. He dismounts and looks up at JAFAR and IAGO.) JAFAR: You are late. GAZEEM: A thousand apologies, O patient one. JAFAR: You have it, then? GAZEEM: I had to slit a few throats, but I got it! (He pulls out half a scarab from his sleeve. JAFAR reaches for it, but GAZEEM pulls it back.) Ah, ah, aaaah ... the treasure. (He holds out his hand expectantly, but IAGO squawks, flies from JAFAR'S shoulder and snatches the scarab from GAZEEM'S hand.) Ouch! JAFAR: Trust me, my pungent friend. You'll get what's coming to you. IAGO: What's coming to you! Brawk! (JAFAR pulls out the other half of the scarab from his sleeve and puts the two pieces together. The whole scarab begins to glow. Finally, it flies from JAFAR'S hand and streaks across the desert towards the dunes. JAFAR spurs his horse.) JAFAR: Quickly! Follow the trail! (They all ride off, following the glowing scarab until it reaches a large dune. The scarab breaks in half again and plunges into the dune, one on either side. Then the entire dune begins to rise, until it forms a huge lion's head. The scarab serves as the lion's eyes.) JAFAR: At last ... after all my years of searching ... the Cave of Wonders! IAGO: Awk! Cave of Wonders! GAZEEM: By Allah! JAFAR: (Grabbing GAZEEM by his collar) Now, remember! Bring me the lamp. The rest of the treasure is yours, but the lamp ... is mine. (He pushes GAZEEM roughly towards the great lion's mouth. GAZEEM chuckles and rubs his hands together in delight.) IAGO: Awk, the lamp! Awk, the lamp! (Once GAZEEM is out of earshot, IAGO speaks in normal English.) Geez, where'd ya dig this bozo up? (JAFAR puts a finger to his lips to shush IAGO. They both turn back to watch GAZEEM, who has now reached the cave mouth, but he is blown away when the CAVE starts to speak in a deep, booming voice.) CAVE: Who disturbs my slumber? GAZEEM: (Hesitantly) It is I ... Gazeem ... a humble thief ... (He bows.) CAVE: Know this. Only one can enter here. One who's worth lies far within. A Diamond in the Rough. (GAZEEM turns to JAFAR, a questioning look on his face.) JAFAR: What are you waiting for? Go on! (GAZEEM hesitates, then moves one foot inside the CAVE. With great apprehension, he plants the foot down on the first step. When nothing happens, he sighs with relief and begins his trek downwards. But before he gets very far, there is another deafening roar from the cave. GAZEEM turns back, but the CAVE'S mouth slams shut with a flash, trapping him inside.) JAFAR: (Shielding himself from the flash) Yeow! (Now only JAFAR and IAGO are left and the dune collapses back to normal. The halves of the scarab roll out and come to rest on the sand.) CAVE: Seek thee out the Diamond in the Rough! (Echo) (IAGO pushes himself out of the sand, coughing.) IAGO: I can't believe it! I just don't believe it! We're NEVER gonna get a-hold of that stupid lamp! Just forget it! Look at this, look at this -- I'm so ticked off that I'm molting! (He pulls out a few feathers, then picks up the scarab and flies back to JAFAR, dropping them in his hand. JAFAR tucks them back into his robe.) JAFAR: Patience, Iago, patience. Gazeem was obviously less than worthy. IAGO: (Sarcastically) Oh, there's a big surprise! That's an incredible -- I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from that surprise! (JAFAR rolls his eyes.) What're we gonna do? We got a big problem here, a big -- (JAFAR pinches his beak shut.) JAFAR: Yes ... only one may enter. I must find this one, this ... Diamond in the Rough. (Cut to a rooftop, where ALADDIN, holding a loaf of bread in one hand, is being chased by GUARDS. ALADDIN rushes up to the edge of the roof and almost loses his balance. Behind him, the GUARDS are unsheathing their swords.) GUARD: Stop, thief! RASOUL: I'll have your hands for a trophy, street rat! ALADDIN: (Looks back at the GUARDS, off the rooftop, then at the loaf of bread in his hand.) All this for a loaf of bread? Whoa! (ALADDIN jumps off the roof. He grabs a piece of rope strung between two buildings and slides down it, collecting various pieces of clothing as he goes. When he's nearing the end of the rope, which is tied to a window, the woman at the window slams the shutters closed. ALADDIN slams into the shutters and falls down into the street. His fall is broken by various awnings and the pile of clothes around him. He pulls the clothes off his head, looking very pleased with himself and sees the GUARDS still on the rooftop.) GUARD 1: There he is! GUARD 2: You won't get away so easy! ALADDIN: You think that was easy? (He looks up when he hears three women laughing at him. He grins sheepishly at them and shrugs. Then he hears the GUARDS' voices again. They're off the roof.) RASOUL: You two, over that way! And you, follow me! We'll find him. (ALADDIN pulls a sheet over himself as a disguise and runs over to the women.) ALADDIN: Morning, ladies. WOMAN 1: Getting into trouble a little early today ... aren't we, Aladdin? ALADDIN: Trouble? No way. You're only in trouble if you get caught! (A hand grabs ALADDIN's shoulder and pulls him back. It's RASOUL. ALADDIN'S disguise falls off. RASOUL now grabs ALADDIN by the front of his vest.) RASOUL: Gotcha! ALADDIN: I'm in trouble! RASOUL: And this time -- (A screeching sound is heard from ABU and he pulls RASOUL'S turban down over his eyes. ABU dances on RASOUL'S head, chattering happily.) ALADDIN: Perfect timing, Abu, as usual. (He salutes ABU with the bread.) ABU: (Makes a noise that says, 'Hello!' and raises his hat to ALADDIN.) ALADDIN: C'mon, let's get outta here! (He bumps into a GUARD) Gotta keep -- One jump ahead of the breadline (He dodges a sword blow) One swing ahead of the sword (He dodges another sword blow) I steal only what I can't afford (ALADDIN zips to the other side of the GUARD, tugging the GUARD'S belt. This causes the GUARD'S pants to fall down. The GUARD swings at ALADDIN, but destroys a barrel of fish instead. ALADDIN runs off, and the GUARD pulls a fish on as a pair of pants and starts to chase him.) And that's everything! One jump ahead of the lawmen That's all, and that's no joke These guys don't appreciate I'm broke! (He and ABU clamber onto a pile of barrels, kicking one down on top of another GUARD.) GUARD 1: Riff raff! GUARD 2: Street rat! GUARD 3: Scoundrel! GUARD 4: Take that! (They throw things at ALADDIN, who dodges them.) ALADDIN: Just a little snack, guys! (They throw more, he dodges.) GUARDS: (Shaking the platform to knock ALADDIN off) Rip him open, take it back, guys! ALADDIN: I can take a hint, gotta face the facts -- You're my only friend, Abu! (ALADDIN jumps, ABU catches him like a trapeze artist and they swing into a harem.) WOMEN: Who? Oh, it's sad Aladdin's hit the bottom He's become a one-man rise in crime! WOMAN: I'd blame parents, except he hasn't got 'em! ALADDIN: Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Tell you all about it when I got the time! (A HAREM GIRL pushes ALADDIN out the window and they fall back into the street. Cut to a MUSCLEMAN flexing to a crowd. The GUARDS dash past. Cut to ALADDIN and ABU behind the MUSCLEMAN, matching his moves so the GUARDS can't see them. Unfortunately, they make a mistake and are discovered by the GUARDS.) ALADDIN: One jump ahead of the slowpokes One skip ahead of my doom Next time gonna use a nom de plume RASOUL: (Seeing ALADDIN) Look! There he is! (The chase resumes) ALADDIN: One jump ahead of the hitmen One hop ahead of the flock (He hops nimbly over a flock of sheep. The GUARDS follow, simply throwing sheep out of the way until they nearly catch up.) I think I'll take a stroll around the block ... (He dashes off.) (Another chase sequence, where ALADDIN and ABU, pursued by the GUARDS, hurdle a man sleeping on a bed of nails ... until a particularly large GUARD lands on him. ABU admires the jewels on a cart until the SHOPKEEPER discovers him.) CROWD: (One at a time) Stop, thief! Vandal! ALADDIN: Abu! Outrage! Scandal! (ALADDIN is surrounded by GUARDS, backed up against a door.) ALADDIN: Let's not be too hasty ... (The door opens and a rather large, ugly LADY comes out and picks ALADDIN up.) LADY: Still I think he's rather tasty! ALADDIN: (Slipping away from the LADY) Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Otherwise we'd get along! GUARDS: WRONG! (They all jump into a pile and fight. When they stop, ALADDIN and ABU are gone. They are sneaking away in vases. They run across a flaming pit, followed by GUARDS who hop up and down, screaming in pain as they cross the rocks. ALADDIN and ABU pass a SWORD SWALLOWER, then ABU goes back and pulls the sword out of the SWALLOWER'S mouth and advances on the GUARDS, who step backwards in fear.) GUARD 1: Look! He's got a sword! RASOUL: You idiot -- we've ALL got swords! GUARDS: (Unsheathing their own swords) Yeah! (ABU sets the sword down gently, then runs. ALADDIN and ABU are once again surrounded, with GUARDS coming from the left and right. He jumps up and climbs a rope trick being done on the street as the GUARDS all crash into each other.) ALADDIN: One jump ahead of the hoofbeats CROWD: Vandal! ALADDIN: One hop ahead of the hump CROWD: Street rat! ALADDIN: One trick ahead of disaster CROWD: Scoundrel! ALADDIN: They're quick -- but I'm much faster CROWD: Take that! (The GUARDS swing at ALADDIN, but miss.) (The GUARDS chase ALADDIN up a staircase and into a room.) ALADDIN: (Grabbing a carpet and moving to the window) Here goes, Better throw my hand in Wish me happy landin' All I gotta do is jump! (He jumps out the window. The GUARDS follow, but they go straight down into the street and land in a pile with the sign CRAZY HAKIM'S DISCOUNT FERTILIZER. ALADDIN uses the carpet as a parachute to land safely and out of danger. He and ABU high-five each other.) ALADDIN: And now, esteemed effendi, we feast! Alright! (ALADDIN breaks the bread and gives half to ABU, who begins to eat. But ALADDIN looks up and sees two young children rummaging through a garbage can for food. The GIRL sees him and drops her food, trying to hide. ALADDIN looks at them, at his bread, then at ABU.) ABU: Uh-uh! (ABU takes a big bite from his half of the bread, but ALADDIN gets up and walks over to the children. The GIRL pulls her brother back. ALADDIN offers them his bread.) ALADDIN: Here. (The GIRL hesitates.) Go on, take it. (The CHILDREN giggle with delight. ABU tries to swallow his bite, then looks guilty. He goes over to the CHILDREN and offers his bread to them. In delight, they pet him on the head.) ABU: Ah, don't ... (He chatters happily) Huh? (He sees ALADDIN walking into the street, where there is a parade going on. ALADDIN peers over the shoulders of the people and ABU jumps onto his shoulder. He sees PRINCE ACHMED riding past.) BYSTANDER 1: On his way to the palace, I suppose. BYSTANDER 2: Another suitor for the princess. (ALADDIN is startled when the two CHILDREN run out from the alley. The BOY runs out in front of ACHMED'S horse, laughing, causing it to rear up.) ACHMED: Out of my way, you filthy brat! (ACHMED raises his whip, but ALADDIN jumps in front of the CHILDREN.) ALADDIN: Hey! If I were as rich as you, I could afford some manners! (He throws the whip back at ACHMED, who looks rather ruffled.) ACHMED: Oh! I'll teach you some manners! (He kicks ALADDIN into a mud puddle and the CROWD around him laughs.) ABU: Yech! ALADDIN: Look at that, Abu. It's not every day you see a horse with TWO rear-ends! (The horse stops in disgust and both it and ACHMED turn to look at ALADDIN.) ACHMED: Hah. You are a worthless street rat. You were born a street rat. You'll die a street rat. And only your fleas will mourn you! (ALADDIN rushes after him, but ACHMED has reached the palace gates, which then slam shut in ALADDIN'S face. ALADDIN speaks to the gates instead.) ALADDIN: I'm not worthless! And I don't have fleas! (He scratches behind his ear, then sighs.) C'mon, Abu. Let's go home. (ALADDIN climbs up to his hovel and tucks ABU in for the night.) ALADDIN: Riff-raff, street rat I don't buy that If only they'd look closer Would they see a poor boy? No siree. They'd find out there's so much more to me (He pulls back a curtain, revealing a magnificent view of the city and palace.) Some day, Abu, things are gonna change. We'll be rich, live in a palace ... and never have any problems at all. (Dissolve to the same shot during the day. Cut to interior of the SULTAN'S chamber. The door bursts open and PRINCE ACHMED storms in.) ACHMED: I've never been so insulted! SULTAN: Oh, Prince Achmed. You're not leaving so soon ... are you? (He watches ACHMED and realises the seat of his pants is missing.) ACHMED: Good luck marrying her off! SULTAN: Oooh ... Jasmine. Jasmine! Jasmine! Jasmine ... (The SULTAN goes into the garden looking for his daughter. He finds her, but is first confronted by RAJAH, JASMINE'S pet tiger, who is holding a piece of ACHMED'S undershorts between his teeth. The SULTAN takes it off the tiger.) SULTAN: Confound it, Rajah! So ... this is why Prince Achmed stormed out. JASMINE: Oh, father ... Rajah was just playing with him, weren't you, Rajah? You were just playing with that overdressed, self-absorbed Prince Achmed, weren't you? (She and RAJAH both laugh and JASMINE hugs her tiger, enjoying the moment until she sees the look on the SULTAN'S face.) Ahem. SULTAN: Dearest, you've got to stop rejecting every suitor who comes to call. The law says you ... BOTH: ... must be married to a prince ... SULTAN: By your next birthday. (They have walked over to a bird cage in the garden. JASMINE puts her hands on the bars and sighs, looking at the SULTAN.) JASMINE: The law is wrong. SULTAN: You've only got three more days! JASMINE: Father, I hate being forced into this. (She takes a dove from the cage and pets it.) If I do marry, I want it to be for love. SULTAN: Jasmine ... it's not only this law. (He takes the dove from her and puts it back in the cage.) I'm not going to be around forever and ... I just want to make sure you're taken care of. Provided for. JASMINE: Please, try to understand. I've never done a thing on my own. I've never had any real friends ... (RAJAH gives a growl of protest) ... except you, Rajah ... (Satisfied, he goes back to sleep.) I've never even been outside the palace walls! SULTAN: But Jasmine, you're a princess. JASMINE: Then maybe I don't want to BE a princess anymore! SULTAN: Oooooohh! (To RAJAH) Allah forbid you should have any daughters! (RAJAH looks confused for a second. JASMINE looks annoyed for a moment, then goes over to the dove cage and yanks open the door. The birds fly off to their freedom and JASMINE watches them go. Cut to interior of SULTAN'S chamber.) SULTAN: I don't know where she gets it from. Her mother wasn't nearly so picky. (A shadow falls over the SULTAN.) Ooh, oh! (He looks up and realises it's just JAFAR.) Ah ... Jafar. My most trusted advisor. I am in desperate need of your wisdom. JAFAR: My life is but to serve you, my lord. (He bows.) SULTAN: It's this suitor business -- Jasmine refuses to choose a husband. I'm at my wits' end. IAGO: Brawk! Wits' end! SULTAN: Oh! Heh heh. Have a cracker, pretty polly! (He pulls a cracker from somewhere and stuffs it into a terrified-looking IAGO'S mouth. IAGO grimaces as he tries to eat it. JAFAR and the SULTAN both laugh at this.) JAFAR: Your Majesty certainly has a way with dumb animals. (IAGO glares at him.) Now then ... perhaps I can divine a solution to this thorny problem. SULTAN: If anyone can help, it's you. JAFAR: Ah, but it would require the use of the mystic Blue Diamond ... (He fingers a magnificent diamond ring on the SULTAN's finger.) SULTAN: Oh ... my ring? But it's been in the family for years ... JAFAR: It is necessary to find the princess a suitor. (He turns his snake-head staff towards the SULTAN. Its eyes begin to glow and the room begins to darken. JAFAR'S voice slows down and deepens. The SULTAN'S eyes get a hypnotized look.) Don't worry ... everything will be fine. SULTAN: Everything will be ... fine. JAFAR: The diamond? SULTAN: (Slipping the ring off his finger) Here, Jafar ... whatever you need will be ... (JAFAR snatches the ring and the room returns to normal as the spell ends.) JAFAR: You are most gracious, my liege. Now ... run along and play with your little toys, hmm? SULTAN: (Still hypnotized) Yes ... that would be ... pretty good ... (JAFAR and IAGO leave the room. The camera follows them and as soon as they're out of the room, JAFAR rolls his eyes and IAGO spits out the SULTAN'S cracker.) IAGO: I can't TAKE it anymore! If I gotta choke down on one more o' those mouldy, disgusting crackers ... BAM! WHACK! (JAFAR pulls a rope, which reveals a secret passage to his chambers.) JAFAR: Calm yourself, Iago. IAGO: Then I'd grab him around the head ... whack! Whack! JAFAR: (Speaking over IAGO) Soon I will be Sultan, not that addlepated twit. IAGO: And then, I stuff the crackers down HIS throat! Ha ha! (JAFAR and IAGO grin at each other and pass through a door which slams shut behind them. Dissolve to the garden at night. A shadowy figure passes through. We see it is JASMINE, wearing a cloak as a disguise. She looks around cautiously before she reaches the wall and starts to climb a tree. She is stopped bycRAJAH tugging on her cloak from behind. She steps back down to him.) JASMINE: Oh, I'm sorry, Rajah ... but I can't stay here and have my life lived for me. I'll miss you. (She hugs him and starts to climb again. This time, RAJAH helps. He starts to whimper. When JASMINE reaches the top of the wall, she looks back.) Goodbye. (She disappears over the wall. RAJAH lays down looking very sad. Cut to daytime out on the street. ALADDIN and ABU are after their breakfast melon.) ALADDIN: Okay, Abu ... go! (ABU salutes and dips over the edge of the cart.) MELON MAN: Try this, your taste buds will dance and sing! (ABU grabs a melon and hangs there, distracting the MELON MAN.) Oh ... hey, get your paws off that ... (ABU pulls a face at him.) Why, you ... ! Get away from here, you filthy ape! (He grabs the melon from ABU, not having noticed ALADDIN stealing another one in the foreground. The MELON MAN takes the melon back to the front and goes to place it on top of a stack where he realises another one is missing. He looks back at ABU, who raises his hat.) ABU: Bye bye! (He zips back up to where ALADDIN is waiting.) ALADDIN: Nice goin', Abu. Breakfast is served. (ALADDIN breaks open the melon and gives half to ABU, who begins to eat happily. We go back to the marketplace where we see JASMINE walking amongst the stalls.) MERCHANT 1: (To JASMINE) Pretty lady, buy a pot? No finer pot in brass or silver! (JASMINE passes to the next stall.) MERCHANT 2: Sugar dates! Sugar dates and figs! Sugar dates and pistachios! (JASMINE shakes her head and continues.) MERCHANT 3: Would the lady like a necklace? A pretty necklace for the pretty lady. (JASMINE looks charmed by the necklace, but is startled when a fish is thrust into her face.) MERCHANT 4: Fresh fish! We catch 'em, you buy 'em! JASMINE: Uh ... no ... I don't think so ... (She starts to back away, but bumps into a FIRE EATER, who as a consequence, swallows the fire completely.) Oh ... excuse me. Heh. (The FIRE EATER gulps, then proceeds to belch fire from his mouth. JASMINE looks positively disgusted and the FIRE EATER pats his stomach. ALADDIN looks up and sees JASMINE, a strange look coming over his face.) I'm really very sorry. ALADDIN: Wow ... (JASMINE pulls the hood of her cloak back over her head. ABU sees ALADDIN watching JASMINE and jumps up onto his shoulder, waving his hand in his face.) ABU: Uh-oh. Hello? Hello? (JASMINE stops at the fruit stand, where a small BOY is looking wistfully up at the cart, trying to reach an apple.) JASMINE: Oh, you must be hungry. (She takes an apple from the cart and gives it to the BOY.) Here you go. (The BOY runs off and JASMINE starts to walk off until the FRUIT MAN stops her.) FRUIT MAN: You'd better be able to pay for that. JASMINE: Pay? FRUIT MAN: No-one steals from MY cart! JASMINE: Oh, I'm sorry, sir ... I don't have any money. FRUIT MAN: Thief! JASMINE: Please! If-if you let me go to the palace I can get some from the Sultan ... FRUIT MAN: (Taking JASMINE'S hand and pinning it down on the table, then drawing out his sword) Do you know what the penalty is for stealing? JASMINE: No! No, please! (The sword drops, but ALADDIN stops it before it reaches JASMINE'S hand.) ALADDIN: Thank-you, kind sir, I'm so glad you've found her. (He hands the sword to JASMINE, who hides it behind her back.) I've been looking all over for you. JASMINE: (Whispering) What are you doing? ALADDIN: (Whispering back) Just play along. FRUIT MAN: (Stopping ALADDIN) You ah ... know this girl? ALADDIN: Sadly, yes. She is my sister. She's a little crazy. (JASMINE makes a sound of protest. The FRUIT MAN grabs ALADDIN's vest.) FRUIT MAN: She said she knew the Sultan! ALADDIN: She thinks the monkey is the Sultan. (ABU is seen picking a pocket. Upon hearing ALADDIN, he straightens up. JASMINE, playing along, kneels down and bows to ABU.) JASMINE: Oh, wise Sultan! How may I serve you? ABU: (Pretends to give JASMINE orders, then pats her on the head.) ALADDIN: Tragic, isn't it? But, no harm done. (He goes over to JASMINE.) Now come along, sis. Time to go see the doctor. JASMINE: (Stopping in front of a camel) Oh, hello, doctor. How are you? ALADDIN: No, no, no, not that one. (To ABU) Come on, Sultan. (ABU bows and everything he's stolen falls out of his vest.) FRUIT MAN: (Starting to turn around) Huh ... (ABU very quickly picks up what he can carry and he, ALADDIN and JASMINE run off.) Come back here, you little thieves! (Cut to interior of JAFAR'S lab. IAGO is running on a gear in a large contraption. At the top of the contraption, a storm appears to be brewing.) IAGO: (Out of breath) With all due respect, Your Rottenness, couldn't we just wait for a real storm? JAFAR: Save your breath, Iago. Faster! (He places the SULTAN'S ring in the contraption.) IAGO: Yes, O mighty evil one. (IAGO starts running faster on the gear. A lightning bolt streaks through the ring, into an hourglass below. The sand in the top begins to swirl.) JAFAR: Ah, Sands of Time ... reveal to me the one who can enter the cave. (The sand in the top of the hourglass forms the Cave of Wonders, then falls down into the bottom to reveal ALADDIN climbing a ladder and helping JASMINE.) Yes ... yes! There he is! My Diamond in the Rough! IAGO: That's him?! That's the clown we've been waitin' fo -- (IAGO is cut off when he loses his footing and is thrown into the gears.) JAFAR: Let's have the guards extend him an invitation to the palace ... (IAGO goes flying past into the wall.) ... shall we? IAGO: Swell. (JAFAR laughs and the camera zooms in on the sandstorm in the middle of the hourglass with ALADDIN in it. Dissolve to the real ALADDIN climbing up the ladder, followed closely by JASMINE.) ALADDIN: Almost there. (He pulls her up, but when she reaches the top, she trips and falls into ALADDIN'S arms. They look at each other, until she breaks the silence.) JASMINE: I want to thank you for stopping that man. ALADDIN: Uh ... forget it. Heh. (He grabs a pole.) So, uh ... this is your first time in the marketplace, huh? (He vaults over to the next building, leaving JASMINE behind.) JASMINE: Is it that obvious? ALADDIN: Well, you do kinda ... stand out. (He stares at her, obviously very much in love with her, until he realises what he's doing and resumes his normal manner.) I mean, uh ... you don't seem to know how dangerous Agrabah can be. (He lays a plank between the two buildings for JASMINE to walk across, but as he's putting it down, she vaults over his head. He turns in surprise and she smiles.) JASMINE: I'm a fast learner. (ALADDIN and ABU'S eyes are bulging. JASMINE throws the pole to ALADDIN, who gives it to ABU.) ALADDIN: Right. (He takes JASMINE'S hand.) C'mon. This way. (They go inside the roof of a building, ducking planks and beams as they go.) Whoa. Oh, watch your head there. Oh, be careful. JASMINE: Is this where you live? ALADDIN: Yep. Just me an' Abu. Come and go as we please. JASMINE: That sounds fabulous. ALADDIN: Well, it's not much ... (They have reached ALADDIN'S hovel. They go up a few steps and ALADDIN pulls back a curtain to reveal the wonderful view of the palace.) ... but it's got a great view. (JASMINE has come up behind him, smiling, but her face falls when she sees the palace.) The palace looks pretty amazing, huh? JASMINE: (Unimpressed) Oh ... it's wonderful. ALADDIN: I wonder what it'd be like to live there. To have servants and valets ... (ABU nods in agreement.) JASMINE: Oh, sure. People who tell you where to go and how to dress. ALADDIN: That's better than here. Always scraping for food and ducking the guards. (He takes an apple ABU was about to bite into.) JASMINE: You're not free to make your own choices. ALADDIN: Sometimes you feel so -- JASMINE: You're just -- BOTH: (In unison) -- trapped. (There is a moment here. ALADDIN and JASMINE look at each other. JASMINE smiles, but ALADDIN soon catches himself again and breaks the gaze. He takes another apple, again that ABU was about to bite into and rolls it down his arm in JASMINE'S direction. She catches it.) ALADDIN: So ... where you from? JASMINE: What does it matter? I ran away and I am not going back. ALADDIN: Really? (He takes a bite from the apple in his hand and gives it to ABU, who looks disgusted and shakes it at him.) How come? ABU: Why, you ... (He spies JASMINE'S apple.) Yeah! (ALADDIN goes to sit next to JASMINE.) JASMINE: My father is forcing me to get married. ALADDIN: Wow, that's ... that's awful. (ABU appears behind JASMINE and tries to swipe her apple.) Abu! (ABU races up higher, chattering and shaking his paw at ALADDIN as he goes.) JASMINE: What? ALADDIN: Uh ... Abu says uh ... that's not fair. ABU: What? JASMINE: Oh did he? ALADDIN: Yeah. Of course. JASMINE: And does ... Abu have anything else to say? ALADDIN: Well ... he wishes there were something he could do to help. ABU: (Turning away from the pair) Oh, boy ... JASMINE: Hmm. Tell him that's very ... sweet. (Another moment. ALADDIN and JASMINE have been getting closer and closer, but just as they are about to kiss, they are interrupted by several palace GUARDS.) GUARD: Here you are! ALADDIN/JASMINE: They're after me! (To each other) They're after YOU? JASMINE: Father must have sent them to -- ALADDIN: Do you trust me? JASMINE: What? ALADDIN: Do you trust me? (He extends his hand to her) JASMINE: (Hesitantly) Yes ... (She takes his hand.) ALADDIN: Then jump! (They both jump off the roof and land in a pile of salt. They get up quickly, but are stopped when they bump into RASOUL.) RASOUL: We just keep running into each other, don't we, street rat? (ABU pulls RASOUL'S turban down over his eyes and ALADDIN and JASMINE run off.) ALADDIN: Run! (Unfortunately, their exit is blocked by three other GUARDS. They turn.) ALADDIN: Go! Get outta here! (RASOUL pulls his turban off his eyes and throws ABU into a vase. As they pass, RASOUL grabs ALADDIN by the back of his vest and throws him at the other GUARDS.) RASOUL: It's the dungeon for you, boy! ALADDIN: Hey, get off me! JASMINE: (Pounding RASOUL'S arm) Let him go! RASOUL: Looky here, men! A street mouse! (He pushes JASMINE down.) JASMINE: (Standing up) Unhand him! (She pulls the hood of her cloak off her head.) By order of the princess. (The GUARDS realise who she is and stop and bow to her.) RASOUL: Princess Jasmine. ALADDIN: The princess? ABU: (Peeking out of the vase) The princess? RASOUL: What are you doing outside the palace? And with this street rat? JASMINE: That's not your concern. Do as I command -- release him! RASOUL: Well, I would, Princess ... except my orders come from Jafar. You'll have to take it up with him. JASMINE: (Looking rather ticked off) Believe me, I will. (The GUARDS drag ALADDIN off, bowing to JASMINE as they leave. Cut to interior of palace. We see JAFAR emerging from his secret chambers. He looks around cautiously before exiting, and starts to slide the door shut behind him, but JASMINE storms in before he finishes.) JASMINE: Jafar? JAFAR: Oh, uh ... Princess ... (He slams the door shut, trapping IAGO in the doorframe.) IAGO: Awk! Jafar ... I'm stuck! JAFAR: (Spreading out his cape to hide the door) How may I be of service to you? JASMINE: The guards just took a boy from the market -- on your orders. JAFAR: Mph ... your father has charged me with keeping peace in Agrabah. The boy was a criminal. JASMINE: What was his crime? IAGO: (Tugging JAFAR'S robes) I can't breathe -- Jafar! JAFAR: Why ... kidnapping the princess, of course. IAGO: Jafar, if you could just -- (JAFAR kicks him back inside the door and it shuts properly) -- wow, that hurt! JASMINE: He didn't kidnap me, I ran away! JAFAR: Oh. (He starts to walk away as if upset.) Oh, dear. Well, how frightfully upsetting. Had I but known ... JASMINE: What do you mean? JAFAR: Sadly, the boy's sentence has already been carried out. JASMINE: What sentence? JAFAR: (In a sinister tone) Death. (JASMINE gasps.) By beheading. JASMINE: No ... (She collapses onto a seat.) JAFAR: I am exceedingly sorry, Princess. JASMINE: How could you? (She runs from the room, crying.) (IAGO finally manages to push the door open again. Coughing, he flies up to JAFAR'S shoulder.) IAGO: So, how did it go? JAFAR: I think she took it ... rather well. (They both grin.) (Dissolve to nighttime. We see JASMINE sitting by the fountain, still crying. RAJAH comes over to comfort her. She wipes the tears from her eyes.) JASMINE: It's all my fault, Rajah. I didn't even know his name. (She buries her head in RAJAH's fur and starts to cry again.) (Cut to interior of the dungeon. A few rats scurry by and the camera descends until we can see ALADDIN chained to the wall. He struggles, but to no avail.) ALADDIN: (To himself) She was the princess! I can't believe it. I must've sounded so stupid to her! ABU: (From a distance) Yoo-hoo! (We see ABU appear at the top window in the dungeon) Aladdin? Hello! (He raises his hat.) ALADDIN: Abu! Down here! (ABU scampers down.) Hey, c'mon, help me outta these. (ABU starts chattering wildly at him, dropping to the ground. He puts a cloth over his head and makes his eyes big, imitating a pretty girl walking.) Hey, she was in trouble. Ah, she was worth it. (ABU jumps onto his shoulder, takes out a lockpick and starts working at the lock.) ABU: Yeah, yeah, yeah. ALADDIN: Don't worry, Abu, I'll never see her again. I'm a street rat, remember, and there's a law. She's gotta marry a prince. She deserves a prince. (ABU succeeds in getting the lock open.) ABU: (Holding up the lockpick triumphantly) Ta-dah! ALADDIN: (Rubbing his wrists) I'm ... I'm - I'm a fool. OLD MAN: You're only a fool if you give up, boy. (We see an OLD MAN sitting in the shadows.) ALADDIN: Who are you? OLD MAN: A lowly prisoner like yourself. But together, perhaps we can be more? (He rubs two fingers together in the 'money' gesture.) ALADDIN: I'm listening. OLD MAN: There is a cave, boy. A Cave of Wonders. Filled with treasures beyond your wildest dreams. (He holds out a handfull of jewels. ALADDIN'S eyes light up and ABU makes an impressed sound.) Treasure enough to impress even your princess, I'll wager. (The OLD MAN turns his back and we see IAGO stick his head out of the hump on the OLD MAN'S back. Evidently, this is JAFAR in disguise.) IAGO: Jafar, could ya hurry up? I'm dyin' in here. (JAFAR knocks him back under the hump.) ALADDIN: But the law says that only a prince can -- OLD MAN: (Turning back to ALADDIN) You've heard of the Golden Rule, haven't you? Whoever has the gold makes the rules. (He grins, showing a hideous mouth.) ALADDIN: So why would you share this wonderful treasure with me? OLD MAN: I need a young pair of legs and a strong back to go in after it. ALADDIN: Ah, one problem. It's out there, we're in here? OLD MAN: Mm, mm, mm. Things aren't always what they seem. (He pushes with his stick on a few bricks, revealing a secret passageway.) So ... do we have a deal? (ALADDIN looks at ABU, who shrugs his shoulders and makes a sound that says 'I don't know'. Cut to a desert scene, where we see ALADDIN leading a horse with the OLD MAN and ABU on it. Dissolve to the Cave of Wonders.) CAVE: Who disturbs my slumber? ALADDIN: Uh ... it is I ... Aladdin. (The CAVE narrows an eye at him.) CAVE: Proceed. Touch nothing but the lamp! (The CAVE opens and a staircase appears in front of ALADDIN, going downwards.) OLD MAN: Remember, boy -- first fetch me the lamp, and then you shall have your reward. ALADDIN: C'mon, Abu. (ABU is hiding in the shoulder of ALADDIN'S vest.) (ALADDIN starts to descend the staircase. When he reaches the bottom, he steps into a large, golden chamber full of treasure.) ALADDIN: Would ya look at that. ABU: Uh oh ... (He goes back to cowering under ALADDIN'S vest.) ALADDIN: Just a handful of this stuff would make me richer than the Sultan. (ABU peeks out from under ALADDIN'S vest, spies the treasure and bolts for it.) ALADDIN: Ah ... Abu! (ABU stops mid-run, over a rug lying on the floor.) ALADDIN: Don't -- touch -- anything! We gotta find that lamp. (ABU grumbles, but follows ALADDIN and they start making their way through the room when the CARPET ABU was standing on rises off the floor and begins to follow them. ABU is the first to get the feeling they're being followed.) ABU: Huh? (He looks around, and the CARPET lies flat on the floor. ABU continues and the CARPET starts to follow him again. ABU turns back again, but this time the CARPET rolls itself up and leans against a pile of treasure. ABU runs to ALADDIN and tugs at his pant leg.) ABU: Aladdin! Aladdin! ALADDIN: Abu, will ya knock it off? (ABU grumbles again, but obediently starts to follow again. And so does the CARPET. This time, when ABU turns, the CARPET jumps to the other side. It reaches down with a tassel and pulls ABU'S tail. When ABU jumps around, landing in a karate pose, the CARPET again jumps to the other side. It reaches down and takes ABU'S hat, putting it on itself. ABU sits thinking about this for a moment until the CARPET waves a tassel in front of his face. ABU and CARPET scare each other and ABU tackles ALADDIN, trying to show him the CARPET.) ALADDIN: Abu! What are you, crazy? (ABU lifts ALADDIN'S head as CARPET peeks out from behind a pile of treasure.) ALADDIN: A magic carpet. C'mon. C'mon out. I'm not gonna hurt you. (The CARPET comes slowly out, picks up ABU'S hat and dusts it off, then flies over to ALADDIN. It hands the hat to ABU, sitting beside ALADDIN. ABU screeches and jumps onto ALADDIN'S shoulder.) ALADDIN: Hey, take it easy, Abu. He's not gonna bite. (The CARPET hands the hat to ALADDIN instead.) Thanks. (He gives the hat to ABU, who screeches at the CARPET and shakes his fist at it. The CARPET starts to walk away, looking dejected.) Hey, wait a minute -- don't go. (The CARPET starts to turn.) Maybe you can help us. (This gets the CARPET excited and it flies over to ALADDIN and ABU, wrapping up the pair.) Hey, whoa! You see, we're trying to find this lamp ... (The CARPET looks excited and motions for them to follow it.) I think he knows where it is. (They follow CARPET through a long cave until they get to a huge cavern with a tall stone pillar in the centre, with a staircase going up it. This is surrounded by water with stones serving as a bridge. At the top of the pillar is a beam of light. CARPET points excitedly at the top of the pillar. ALADDIN starts to climb down towards the pillar.) ALADDIN: (To CARPET and ABU) Wait here. ABU: Aww ... huh? (ABU has just caught sight of a shrine with a golden money, a huge ruby clasped in its outstretched paws. ABU is drawn hypnotically towards it. ALADDIN, meanwhile, climbs the stairs up the pillar quickly. CARPET is watching him until he turns and notices ABU heading for the monkey statue. He grabs ABU'S tail, trying to hold him back. ALADDIN finally reaches the beam of light at the top of the pillar and sees what he came up here for -- a MAGIC LAMP.) ALADDIN: This is it? (He picks it up.) This is what we came all the way down here to -- (He turns to CARPET and ABU just in time to see ABU break free and lunge towards the huge jewel.) Abu -- NO! (ABU grabs the jewel. There is a rumbling and the room begins to shake.) CAVE: Infidels! ABU: Uh-oh ... CAVE: You have touched the forbidden treasure! (ABU places the jewel back in the monkey's paws, but it is too late, and the jewel and the monkey melt into lava.) Now you will never again see the light of day! (The top of the pillar now bursts into flame. ALADDIN starts to run back down, but the stairs flatten into a ramp and ALADDIN slides down it until he reaches the end, at which point he is flung into the air. He falls towards the water, which has now turned into lava, but the CARPET catches him just before he hits. ABU is on one of the rocks that served as the bridge to the pillar. He looks left and right, watching the rocks either side of him exploding. CARPET races over and ALADDIN grabs ABU just as the last rock explodes.) ALADDIN: Whoa! Carpet, let's move! (They fly through the cave dodging various bits of falling debris and tongues of flame that explode from the lava below them.) ALADDIN: Whoa! Whoa. (ABU grabs ALADDIN'S head in fright and covers his eyes.) ALADDIN: Abu! Abu, this is no time for panic! (He pulls ABU off and sees CARPET is heading straight for a wall. ALADDIN gasps.) Start panicking. (But CARPET goes into a dive and out through another cave. Finally, they come to the entrance where the cave mouth is. Outside, a fierce storm is in progress and the CAVE is beginning to close. Inside, the stairs are beginning to crumble. ALADDIN, ABU and CARPET are almost at the cave mouth when a rock hits CARPET, sending ALADDIN and ABU flying into the air. ALADDIN manages to grab onto one of the few remaining steps and sees the OLD MAN just within reach.) ALADDIN: Help me out! OLD MAN: Throw me the lamp! ALADDIN: I can't hold on ... give me your hand. OLD MAN: First give me the lamp! (ALADDIN reaches into his vest and pulls out the LAMP. He hands it up, and the OLD MAN snatches it and raises it above his head in triumph.) OLD MAN: Ha ha ha ha! Yes! At last! Ah-ha ha ha! (ABU has taken the OLD MAN'S walking stick and is pulling ALADDIN out of the cave, but the OLD MAN kicks ABU out of the way and grabs ALADDIN'S wrist.) ALADDIN: What are you doing? OLD MAN: Giving you your reward. (JAFAR gives up the charade and returns to his normal voice.) Your eternal reward. (He pulls out a dagger, meaning to stab ALADDIN, but ABU bites his wrist and he cries out in pain and lets go of ALADDIN, who falls back into the cave. JAFAR throws ABU down after him. We see ALADDIN and ABU falling through the cave. CARPET has also seen this, but is pinned down by a boulder. CARPET struggles to break free, which it eventually does, and races up after ALADDIN. Unfortunately, ALADDIN has just hit a rock on his way down and has been knocked unconscious. CARPET catches him. Outside, the cave roars once more time and sinks back into the sand, this time taking the two halves of the scarab with it. JAFAR chuckles and pulls of his disguise.) JAFAR: Heh heh heh heh. It's mine. It's all mine! I -- (He has been searching for it in his pockets, but can't find it.) Where is it? No! NOOOOOOOO! (He falls to his knees in the sand.) (Fade to JASMINE'S bedroom. The SULTAN enters and sees JASMINE sitting on her bed, RAJAH by her side. RAJAH looks very sad, but we can't see JASMINE's face.) SULTAN: Jasmine? Oh, my dearest ... what's wrong? (JASMINE looks around. She looks as though she has been crying. JASMINE: Jafar ... has ... done something ... terrible. SULTAN: Oh, there, there, my dear. We'll set it right. Now ... tell me everything. (He sits down beside her and takes her hands.) (Back to the interior of the Cave of Wonders. ALADDIN is lying on CARPET, still unconscious. ABU shakes his shoulders, trying to wake him.) ABU: Uh-uh. Aladdin? Wake up. Aladdin. (CARPET rises slowly off the ground, waking ALADDIN.) ALADDIN: Oh ... my head. (He looks up and sees that the entrance has been sealed.) We're trapped. (He shakes his fists at the entrance angrily.) That two-faced son of a jackal! (ABU shakes his fists as well. ALADDIN calms down.) Well, whoever he was, he's long gone with that lamp. ABU: Ah-hah! (He pulls out the MAGIC LAMP.) ALADDIN: Hah! Why you hairy little thief! (He takes the LAMP.) Looks like such a beat-up, worthless piece of junk. Hey, I think there's something written here, but ... it's hard to make out. (He rubs the LAMP. Smoke starts coming out of the hole and the LAMP starts to shake and glow. ALADDIN manages to hold onto it and a huge, smokey shape emerges from the LAMP, stretching its arms. This is the GENIE.) GENIE: Aaaaaaaaahhhhh! OY! Ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck! Hang on a second. (He hangs ALADDIN on a nearby rock, then pulls his head off, spinning it around before putting it back on his shoulders.) Whoa! Wow, does it feel good to be outta there! (GENIE uses the other end of himself as a microphone.) Hey, it's nice to be back, ladies and gentlemen. Hi, where ya from? What's your name? (He sticks the microphone in ALADDIN'S face.) ALADDIN: Uh ... Al--uh--Aladdin. GENIE: Aladdin! (A sign lights up behind GENIE with ALADDIN'S name on it. It changes for each of the names in GENIE'S next line.) Hello, Aladdin, nice to have you on the show. Can we call ya 'Al'? Or maybe just 'Din'? Or how about 'Laddie'? (GENIE poofs himself into a SCOTSMAN, wearing a tartan scarf.) Sounds like 'Here, boy!' (He whistles as if for a dog.) 'Come on, Laddie!' (GENIE-SCOTSMAN disappears and a huge blue DOG jumps in wearing the same tartan scarf, but around his waist.) ALADDIN: (Shaking his head.) I must've hit my head harder than I thought. GENIE: (Still as the DOG.) D'you smoke? Mind if I do? (He poofs into smoke, then the GENIE appears again. ABU screeches and goes to hide behind ALADDIN.) Oh, sorry, Cheetah, hope I didn't singe the fur. Yo, Rugman! Haven't seen you in a few millennia! Gimme some tassel! Hey! Yo yo! (CARPET does what's obviously like their secret handshake with the GENIE. GENIE looks back down at ALADDIN.) Say ... you're a lot smaller than my last master. Either that or I'm gettin' bigger. (He lifts a beer-gut.) Look at me from the side -- do I look different to you? ALADDIN: Wait -- wait -- wait a minute! I'm ... your master? GENIE: That's right! (He slaps a diploma in ALADDIN'S hand and a mortarboard on his head.) He can be taught! What would you wish of me? (As Arnold Schwarznegger) The ever impressive ... (Inside a cube, trying to get out) The long contained ... (As a ventriloquist with a dummy) Often imitated ... (He throws the dummy aside) But never duplicated ... (He poofs himself into multiple GENIES, who surround him.) DUP. GENIES: Duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated, duplicated ... GENIE: (As an announcer in a boxing ring) Genie ... of ... the ... lamp! (he turns into Ed Sullivan.) Right here, direct from the lamp! Right here, for your very much wish fulfillment! Thank youuuuuuu! ALADDIN: Whoa, whoa! Wish fulfillment? GENIE: Three wishes to be exact. And ix-nay on the wishing for more wishes. (He poofs into a slot machine. The arm is pulled and three GENIES appear in the windows.) That's it -- three. (Three GENIE CABALLEROS come out of the slot.) Uno, dos, tres. (He changes into a black and white Groucho Marx.) No substitutions, exchanges or refunds. (A duck falls with the word REFUNDS written on a sign in its beak.) ALADDIN: (To ABU) Now I know I'm dreaming. GENIE: Master! I don't think you quite realise what you've got here. So why don't you just ruminate whilst I illuminate the possibilities! (Singing) Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves, S had a thousand tales But Master you're in luck, 'cause up your sleeves You gotta brand of magic never fails (The GENIE had produced the forty thieves on the line about them, and they surround ALADDIN. GENIE appears in ALADDIN'S vest and boxes them all out.) You got some power in your corner now Some heavy ammunition in your camp You got some punch, pizzazz, yahoo and how See all you gotta do is rub that lamp And I'll say ... (After the THIEVES have been boxed out, a boxing ring appears, with ALADDIN in the centre, having his shoulders massaged by GENIE while ABU fans him with CARPET. Then GENIE turns himself into a huge pile of fireworks, which shoot past CARPET and ABU. Finally, he poofs back into the lamp, grabs ALADDIN'S hand and rubs the lamp with it. GENIE comes back out of the spout.) Mister Aladdin sir What will your pleasure be? Let me take your order -- jot it down You ain't never had a friend like me Ho ho ho! (The GENIE produces a table and chairs, which ALADDIN, ABU and CARPET are seated at. He then appears as a waiter, writing things in his notepad.) Life is your restaurant And I'm your maitre' d! C'mon whisper what it is you want You ain't never had a friend like me (The GENIE takes the lid of a plate of chicken, then turns into the chicken himself. He returns to normal, but enlarges his ear to listen to ALADDIN. Finally, he turns himself into four duplicate GENIES, who start giving ALADDIN a shave, haircut and manicure.) Yes sir, we pride ourselves on service You're the boss, the King, the Shah! Say what you wish -- it's yours, true dish! How 'bout a little more baklava? (ALADDIN appears in a comfy chair, surrounded by treasure and being fanned by women. GENIE appears behind the chair and materialises a table of food. ALADDIN picks something up while the GENIE looks inside ALADDIN'S hat. On the last line, GENIE fills the screen with baklava from ALADDIN'S hat.) Have some of column A, Try all of column B I'm in the mood to help you, dude You ain't never had a friend like me (ALADDIN rises on a column with a huge letter A on top. He jumps onto another, with the letter B on top. He falls from the column, but GENIE catches him on a cushion. GENIE opens his mouth and his tongue becomes a staircase. A mini-GENIE dressed as a magician comes down the steps and does a little dance with the GENIE'S two giant hands.) HANDS: Wa-ha-ha! GENIE: Woah, my! HANDS: Wa-ha-ha! GENIE: No, no! HANDS: Wa-ha-ha! (Mini-GENIE does a little scat and the two hands squash the mini-GENIE.) Can your friends do this? Can your friends do that? Can your friends pull this out their little hat? Can your friends go POOF! Well, looky here! Ha-ha! Can your friends go Abracadabra, let 'er rip! And make the sucker disappear? (During this, GENIE pulls of his head, duplicates it and starts juggling with them. He throws them to ALADDIN, who juggles with one hand and spins another head like a basketball on the tip of one finger. He throws the heads back to GENIE, who then tries to pull himself out of a hat. He spirals round a few times before puffing himself into a large rabbit, holding itself by the ears. Then he turns himself into a large purple dragon. The dragon breathes fire, which turns into three HAREM GIRLS, who dance around ALADDIN. Just as ALADDIN is starting to enjoy them, GENIE makes them disappear.) So don't you sit there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed I'm here to answer all your mid-day prayers You got me bona fide, certified You got a genie for your charg d'affairs! I got a powerful urge to help you out So what you wish, I really wanna know! You got a list that's three miles long, no doubt Well all you gotta do is rub like so and oh! Mister Aladdin sir, have a wish or two or three! I'm on the job -- you big nabob You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend You ain't never had a friend, never had a friend You ain't never ... had a ... friend ... like ... me! Wa-ha-ha! Wa-ha-ha! You ain't never had a friend like me! (For the end of the song, GENIE first imitates what he calls ALADDIN, then jumps off his hands like a springboard. He then turns into a large certificate, which rolls ALADDIN up. He spins ALADDIN away, but puts a finger on his head to stop him. Then he pulls a long list out of ALADDIN'S ear and rubs his behind with it, like drying off after a shower. The HAREM GIRLS re-appear and start dancing around ALADDIN again. ALADDIN leans in to kiss one, but she turns back into GENIE. On one side, GENIE zaps four dancing elephants into existance and on the other (helped by ALADDIN) it's four dancing camels. The grand finale ensues, with the cave being filled with treasure and all sorts of other things. ABU stuffs as much gold as he can into his hat. GENIE wraps everything up in a whirlwind and sends it back into the lamp, leaving just the four of them back in the cave. GENIE has an 'Applause' sign on his back. CARPET applauds and ABU is annoyed when he realises all his gold has gone too.) GENIE: So what'll it be, Master? ALADDIN: You're gonna grant me any three wishes I want, right? GENIE: (As William F. Buckley) Ah, almost. There are a few provisos, a couple of quid pro quos. ALADDIN: Like ... ? GENIE: Ah, rule number one: I can't kill anybody. (He slices his head off with a finger.) So don't ask. (He puts his head back on.) Rule number two: I can't make anybody fall in love with anybody else. (His head turns into a giant pair of lips, which kiss ALADDIN, then GENIE pinches ALADDIN'S cheek.) You little punim, there. (He lies down flat, turns into a zombie and sits back up.) Rule number three! I can't bring people back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture, (He grabs ALADDIN'S shoulders and shakes him.) I don't like doing it! (He poofs back to normal.) Other than that, you got it. (ALADDIN and ABU exchange a sneaky glance. ABU gives ALADDIN a thumbs-up.) ALADDIN: Provisos? You mean, limitations? On wishes? (To ABU) Some all-powerful genie. Can't even bring people back from the dead. (The GENIE starts to look up.) I don't know, Abu -- he probably can't even get us outta this cave. Looks like we're gonna have to find a way out. (They start to leave, but a large foot stops down in front of them.) GENIE: 'Scuse me? Are you lookin' at me? Did you rub my lamp, did you wake me up, did you bring me here and all of a sudden you're walkin' out on me? (He starts getting madder and madder.) I don't think so. Not right now. You're gettin' your wishes, so SIDDOWN! (ALADDIN and ABU hurriedly sit down on CARPET. GENIE, cheerful again, sits on the other side.) In case of emergency, the exits are here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, anywhere! (On each 'here', GENIE grows another arm, which he uses to point. Then he pulls them in too far on the next line before returning to normal, grabbing CARPET and shooting out of the cave.) Keep your hands and arms inside the carpet. Weeeeeeeeeeee're ... OUTTA HERE! (The CARPET, ALADDIN, ABU and GENIE burst out of the sand and fly off into the distance. We go back to the SULTAN'S palace, and the throne-room. The SULTAN is there, as are JASMINE, JAFAR and IAGO.) SULTAN: Jafar, this is an outrage! If it weren't for all your years of loyal service ... from now on, you are to discuss the sentencing of prisoners with me before they are beheaded. JAFAR: (Bowing) I assure you, Your Highness -- it won't happen again. SULTAN: Jasmine, (He takes her hand) Jafar, (He takes his hand) now let's put this whole messy business behind us. Please? (He places JASMINE'S hand in JAFAR'S and JAFAR pulls JASMINE closer to him.) JAFAR: My most abject and humblest apologies to you as well, Princess. JASMINE: (Pulling her hand away) At least some good will come of my being forced to marry. When I am Queen I will have the power to get rid of you. SULTAN: Well, now, that's nice -- all settled. And now Jasmine, getting back to this suitor business -- (He looks over and sees JASMINE leaving the room.) -- Jasmine? Jasmine! (He runs after her.) JAFAR: If only I'd gotten that lamp! IAGO: (Mimicking JASMINE) I will have the power to get rid of you! (As himself) D'oh! To think -- we gotta keep kissin' up to that chump and his chump daughter for the rest of our lives an -- JAFAR: No, Iago. Only until she finds a chump husband. Then she'll have us banished -- or beheaded. BOTH: Eeeew! IAGO: (Is getting an idea) Oh! Wait a minute, wait a minute! Jafar! What if *you* were the chump husband? JAFAR: (Looking at IAGO, insulted) What? IAGO: Okay. You marry the princess. Alright? Then, uh -- then you become the Sultan. JAFAR: Oh ... marry the shrew. I become Sultan? The idea has merit. IAGO: Yes, merit, yes! And then, we drop papa-in-law and the little woman off a cliff. (He dive-bombs off JAFAR'S staff and smacks into the floor.) Yeeaaaaaaaaah, kersplat! Hoo hoo hoo! JAFAR: (Laughing) I love the way your foul little mind works! (They both start laughing harder as we cut to an oasis somewhere in the desert. CARPET, along with GENIE, ALADDIN and ABU, is coming in for a landing.) GENIE: (As a stewardess) Thank-you for choosing Magic Carpet for all your travel needs. Don't stand until the rug has come to a complete stop. (As ALADDIN and ABU get off down the stairway formed by CARPET) Thank-you. Goodbye, now. Goodbye. Goodbye. Thank-you. Goodbye. (Returning back to normal) We-hell! How about that, Mister Doubty Mustafa? ALADDIN: Ah, you sure showed me. Now about my three wishes ... GENIE: Dost mine ears deceive me? Three? You are down by ONE, boy! ALADDIN: Ah, no, I never actually *wished* to get out of the cave. You did that on your own. (GENIE raises a finger to say something, thinks about it, then his jaw drops. On the word 'sheepish', he turns into a sheep.) GENIE: Boy, I feel sheepish. Alright, you baaaaad boy. But no more freebies. ALADDIN: Fair deal. So ... three wishes. And I want them to be good. (To GENIE) What would you wish for? (GENIE is hanging like a hammock between two trees. He drops in surprise at this question.) GENIE: Me? No-one's ever asked me that before. Well, in my case -- (he pauses) Ah, forget it. ALADDIN: What? GENIE: No, I can't tell ya. ALADDIN: C'mon, tell me. GENIE: Freedom. ALADDIN: You're a prisoner? GENIE: It's all part-and-parcel; the whole genie gig. (He grows gigantic, his voice echoing) Phenomenal cosmic powers! (He shrinks back down, cramped inside the MAGIC LAMP) And itty bitty living space. ALADDIN: Aw, Genie ... that's terrible. GENIE: (Coming back out of the LAMP) But, oh -- to be free. Not to have to go 'Poof! What do you need? Poof! What do you need? Poof! What do you need?' (At each 'poof', GENIE poofs out of the MAGIC LAMP.) To be my own master. Such a thing would be greater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world! But what am I talkin' about? Let's get real here, it's not gonna happen. Genie, wake up and smell the hummus. ALADDIN: Why not? GENIE: The only way I get outta this is if my master wishes me out. So -- you can guess how often *that's* happened. ALADDIN: I'll do it. I'll set you free. GENIE: (Head turns into Pinocchio's with a long nose) Uh-huh -- yeah, right. Whoop! ALADDIN: No, really, I promise. (He pushes the nose back in and GENIE's head returns to normal.) After I make my first two wishes, I'll use my third wish to set you free. (He holds out his hand) GENIE: Well, here's hopin'. (Shakes ALADDIN's hand.) Alright ... let's make some magic! (Turns into a magician.) So how 'bout it? What is it *you* want most? ALADDIN: Well, there's this girl-- GENIE: Eehhh! (Like a buzzer, and GENIE's chest shows a heart with a cross through it.) Wrong! I can't make anybody fall in love, remember? ALADDIN: Oh, but Genie. She's smart and fun and ... GENIE: Pretty? ALADDIN: Beautiful. She's got these eyes that just ... and this hair -- wow -- and her smile? Ahh ... (He sighs) GENIE: (Sitting in a Parisian cafe with ABU and CARPET.) L'amour. C'est l'amour. ALADDIN: But she's the princess. To even have a chance, I'd have to be -- hey ... can you make me a prince? GENIE: Let's see here. (He has a "Royal Cookbook".) Uh, chicken a'la king? (Pulls out a chicken with a crown on its head) Nope. Alaskan king crab? (Yanks out his finger, and we see SEBASTIAN, the crab from 'The Little Mermaid' clamped on.) Ow, I hate it when they do that. Caesar salad? (A dagger comes out and tries to stab him.) Ahh! Et tu, Brute? Nope. Ah-hah ... 'to make a prince'. (Looks slyly at ALADDIN.) Now is that an official wish? Say the magic words! ALADDIN: Genie, I wish for you to make me a prince! GENIE: All right! Woof woof woof woof! (Takes on square shoulders and looks like Arsenio Hall. Then becomes a tailor/fashion designer.) First, that fez and vest combo is much too third century. These patches -- what are we trying to say -- beggar? No! Let's work with me here. (He takes ALADDIN'S measurements, snaps his fingers and ALADDIN is outfitted in his prince costume.) I like it, muy macho! Now, still needs something. What does it say to me? It says -- mode of transportation. Excuse me, monkey boy! Aqui, over here! (ABU tries to cover himself with CARPET, but GENIE zaps him and he flies over.) ABU: Uh oh! GENIE: Here he comes, (ALADDIN and GENIE are on a game show set, where ALADDIN stands behind a podium with 'AL' on it.) And what better way to make your grand entrance on the streets of Agrabah, than riding your very own brand new camel! Watch out, they spit! (A door bearing the GENIE's head on it opens, where ABU is transformed into a camel. He spits out the side of his mouth on cue. But the GENIE'S not sure.) Mmm, not enough. (He snaps his fingers and ABU turns into a fancy white horse.) Still not enough. Oh, lemme see, what do you need? (The GENIE snaps his fingers repeatedly, turning ABU into: a duck, an ostrich, a turtle, and a '57 Cadillac, with license plate 'ABU 1' Finally, he's returned to normal and the GENIE has an idea.) Yes!! Esalalumbo, shimin dumbo! Whoa!! (And on the keyword of the spell, Dumbo, ABU turns into an elephant. CARPET struggles to get out from under ABU's huge feet.) Talk about your trunk space, check this action out! (ABU sees his reflection in a pool of water, then jumps into a tree. The tree naturally bends right back down to the ground, where ABU hangs on and looks at ALADDIN upside down.) ALADDIN: Abu, you look good. GENIE: He's got the outfit, he's got the elephant, but we're not through yet. Hang on to your turban, kid -- we're gonna make you a star! (We zoom out slowly with the oasis in the distance, as fireworks begin to explode outward. Cut to a CU of a pile of toys. (Look for the BEAST here.) We tilt up and see the SULTAN balancing them. He carefully balances the last piece on top, then sits back and sighs. JAFAR storms in, though, and the pile collapses.) JAFAR: Sire, I have found a solution to the problem with your daughter. IAGO: Awk! The problem with your daughter! SULTAN: Oh, ah ... really? JAFAR: (Unrolling a scroll) Right here. "If the princess has not chosen a husband by the appointed time, then the sultan shall choose for her." SULTAN: But Jasmine hated all those suitors! (He tries to stuff a cracker into IAGO's mouth. IAGO backs away. The SULTAN absentmindedly pulls the cracker back.) How could I choose someone she hates? (IAGO is relieved, but the SULTAN quickly stuffs a cracker in his mouth.) JAFAR: Not to worry, my liege. There is more. If, in the event a suitable prince cannot be found, a princess must then be wed to -- ah ... hmm ... interesting. SULTAN: What? Who? JAFAR: The royal vizier! Why, that would be ... me! SULTAN: But I thought the law says that only a prince can marry a princess, I'm quite sure, but I -- JAFAR: Desperate times call for desperate measures, my lord. (He pulls out the staff and hypnotizes the SULTAN with it.) SULTAN: Yes ... desperate measures ... JAFAR: You will order the princess to marry me. SULTAN: I ... will order ... the princess ... to ... marry ... (the spell breaks momentarily) ... but you're so old! JAFAR: (Holds the staff closer) The princess *will* marry me! SULTAN: The princess will marry ... (the spell is again broken, this time by the trumpet fanfare of 'Prince Ali'.) What? What is that? That music! (He goes out onto the balcony.) Ha ha ha. Jafar, you must come and see this! (We see an advancing parade, led by what appears to be the GENIE in human form as a MAJOR.) MARCHERS: Make way for Prince Ali! SWORDSMEN: Say hey! It's Prince Ali! MAJOR: Hey, clear the way in the old bazaar, Hey you, let us through, it's a bright new star, Now come, be the first on your block to meet his eye! Make way, here he comes, Ring bells, bang the drums. You're gonna love this guy (The MAJOR mingles amongst different crowd members.) Prince Ali, fabulous he, Ali Ababwa! Genuflect, show some respect Down on one knee (ABU the elephant marches through town, with ALADDIN (ALI) on his back.) Now try your best to stay calm Brush up your Sunday Salaam And come and meet his spectacular coterie. (IAGO is dancing to the music until JAFAR glares at him. The MAJOR "wheelbarrows" six men up onto ABU's trunk. They stand on each other's shoulders as ALI shakes hands.) Prince Ali, mighty is he, Ali Ababwa! Strong as ten regular men, definitely He faced the galloping hordes A hundred bad guys with swords Who sent those goons to their lords, why Prince Ali! (The pile collapses on ALI, but a GENIE (tm) brand lightning bolt zaps the pile and he ends up holding them all up in an acrobatic wheel formation. The GENIE turns into an old man, then a child and speaks the last two lines to the crowd.) CHORUS OF MEN: (Carrying the camels) He's got seventy-five golden camels! (In pops a typical parade commentator) HARRY: Don't they look lovely, June? CHORUS OF WOMEN: (On a float) Purple peacocks, he's got fifty-three! (In comes another commentator.) JUNE: Fabulous, Harry, love the feathers! GENIE: (GENIE is off screen, a giant balloon gorilla proceeds down the parade) When it comes to exotic type mammals Has he got a zoo, I'm telling you It's a world class menagerie! (GENIE pops in as a leopard, then a goat, and speaks the last two lines to the two children from earlier. We cut to a balcony, where three HAREM GIRLS are joined by the HAREM GENIE.) GENIE: GIRLS: (in couterpoint) Prince Ali, Handsome is he, Ali Ababwa There's no question this Ali's alluring That physique, how can I speak Never ordinary, never boring Weak at the knee Everything about the man just plain impresses Well, get on out in that square He's a wonder, he's a whiz, a wonder Adjust your veil and prepare He's about to pull my heart asunder To gawk and grovel and stare at Prince Ali! And I absolutely love the way he dresses! (JASMINE has been watching from the balcony of the palace. She humphs it off, then leaves.) CHORUS: He's got ninety-five white Persian monkeys! (He's got the monkeys, let's see the monkeys!) And to view them, he charges no fee! (He's generous, so generous) He's got slaves, he's got servants and flunkies! (Proud to work for him) They bow to his whim, love serving him They're just lousy with loyalty to Ali! Prince Ali! (ALADDIN throws gold coins out to the people, who rush over to collect them. ABU and the parade march up the steps of the palace and inside. The SULTAN runs back inside to the door to the throne room, but JAFAR stands in front of the door. Suddenly, it bursts open, with ABU leading the way, and crushing JAFAR and IAGO behind the door.) GENIE: Prince Ali! Amorous he! Ali Ababwa Heard your princess was a sight lovely to see! And that, good people, is why He got dolled up and dropped by With sixty elephants, llamas galore With his bears, his lions A brass band and more With his forty fakirs, his cooks, his bakers His birds that warble on key Make way for Prince Ali! (More and more fanfare build up until ALADDIN flies off ABU's back on MAGIC CARPET and flies down to the SULTAN. JAFAR slams the door shut.) SULTAN: (Clapping) Splendid, absolutely marvelous. ALADDIN: (Takes on a deeper voice.) Ahem. Your majesty, I have journeyed from afar to seek your daughter's hand. SULTAN: Prince Ali Ababwa! Of course. I'm delighted to meet you. (He rushes over and shakes ALI's hand.) This is my royal vizier, Jafar. He's delighted too. JAFAR: (Extremely dryly) Ecstatic. I'm afraid, Prince Abooboo -- ALADDIN: -- Ababwa. JAFAR: Whatever. You cannot just parade in here uninvited and expect to -- SULTAN: ... by Allah, this is quite a remarkable device. (He is inspecting the CARPET. He tugs at the tassels, and they tug his moustache. The SULTAN chuckles.) I don't suppose I might ah ... hmm? ALADDIN: Why certainly, your majesty. Allow me. (He helps the SULTAN up onto the CARPET, and he plops down. JAFAR pins the CARPET down on the floor with the staff.) JAFAR: Sire, I must advise against this -- SULTAN: -- Oh, button up, Jafar. Learn to have a little fun. (He kicks away the staff and CARPET and SULTAN fly away. IAGO, who was standing on the head of the staff, falls down, repeatedly bopping the staff with his beak as he descends. SULTAN and CARPET fly high into the ceiling, then begin a dive- bomb attack, flying under ABU, scaring him. The flight continues in the background, while JAFAR and ALI talk in the foreground.) JAFAR: Just where did you say you were from? ALADDIN: Oh, much farther than you've traveled, I'm sure. (He smiles. JAFAR does not.) JAFAR: Try me. (IAGO lands on the staff.) SULTAN: Look out, Polly! (They all duck in time as the CARPET whizzes centimetres over their heads. CARPET returns and the SULTAN chases IAGO around the room.) IAGO: Hey, watch it. Watch it with the dumb rug! (The CARPET zooms underneath IAGO, who sighs, wipes his brow, and crashes into a pillar. He crashes to the floor, and his head is circled by miniature SULTANS on CARPETS, saying "Have a cracker, have a cracker". The real SULTAN begins his final approach.) SULTAN: Out of the way, I'm coming in to land. Jafar, watch this! (He lands.) JAFAR: Spectacular, your highness. SULTAN: Ooh, lovely. Yes, I do seem to have a knack for it. (CARPET walks over to ABU dizzily, then collapses. ABU catches it.) This is a very impressive youth. And a prince as well. (Whispers to JAFAR) If we're lucky, you won't have to marry Jasmine after all. JAFAR: Don't trust him, sire. SULTAN: Nonsense. One thing I pride myself on Jafar, I'm an excellent judge of character. IAGO: Oh, excellent judge, yeah, sure ... not! (JASMINE walks in quietly.) SULTAN: Jasmine will like this one! ALADDIN: And I'm pretty sure I'll like Princess Jasmine! JAFAR: Your highness, no. I must intercede on Jasmine's behalf. (JASMINE hears this and gets mad.) This boy is no different from the others. What makes him think he is worthy of the princess? ALADDIN: Your majesty, I am Prince Ali Ababwa! (He pricks JAFAR's goatee, which springs out in all directions.) Just let her meet me. I will win your daughter! JASMINE: How dare you! (They all look at her, surprised.) All of you! Standing around deciding my future? I am not a prize to be won! (She storms out.) SULTAN: Oh, dear. Ah ... d-don't worry, Prince Ali. Just give Jasmine time to cool down. (They exit.) JAFAR: I think it's time to say good bye to Prince Abooboo. (Diss. to JASMINE on her balcony at night. We tilt down and find ALADDIN and company in the courtyard.) ALADDIN: What am I going to do? Jasmine won't even let me talk to her. I should have known I couldn't pull off this stupid prince wish. (ABU struggles with his elephant paws to open a banana. He squishes it, and the banana squirts into his eye. He then tosses the banana peel into a heaping pile of the same.) GENIE: (to carpet, playing chess) So move! (CARPET does, knocking a black piece off the board.) Hey. That's a good move. (As Rodney Dangerfield) I can't believe it -- I'm losing to a rug. ALADDIN: Genie, I need help. GENIE: (as Jack Nicholson) All right, sparky, here's the deal. If ya wanna court the little lady, you gotta be a straight shooter, do ya got it? ALADDIN: What? GENIE: (Back to normal, wearing a mortarboard. He points out his words on a blackboard) Tell her the TRUTH!! ALADDIN: No way! If Jasmine found out I was really some crummy street rat, she'd laugh at me. (He puts on his turban, which lights up as the GENIE.) GENIE: A woman appreciates a man who can make her laugh! (ALADDIN pulls the chain turning off the light. GENIE comes out holding the real turban.) Al, all joking aside, you really oughta be yourself. ALADDIN: Hey, that's the last thing I want to be. Okay, I'm gonna go see her. I just -- I gotta be smooth, cool, confident. How do I look? GENIE: (Sadly) Like a prince. (ALADDIN flies up to the balcony on CARPET. JASMINE is on her bed. She sighs. RAJAH is by her side.) ALADDIN: (From a distance) Princess Jasmine? (RAJAH looks up and growls.) JASMINE: Who's there? ALADDIN: It's me -- Prince Ali -- ahem -- (Then he jumps to his deep voice) Prince Ali Ababwa. JASMINE: I do not want to see you. ALADDIN: No, no, p-please princess. Give me a chance. (RAJAH growls and advances on him.) JASMINE: Just leave me alone. ALADDIN: Down, kitty! (Over the edge of the balcony, CARPET is watching with GENIE below.) GENIE: So how's our little beau doing? (CARPET cuts his neck with his finger.) ALADDIN: Good kitty, take off. Down, kitty. (He takes off his turban to brush RAJAH away.) JASMINE: (She looks at him thinking she has seen him before.) Wait, wait. Do I know you? ALADDIN: (Quickly replaces his turban) Uh, no, no. JASMINE: You remind me of someone I met in the marketplace. ALADDIN: The marketplace? (A bee buzzes around his head.) I have servants who go to the marketplace for me. Why I even have servants who go to the marketplace for my servants, so it -- it couldn't have been me you met. JASMINE: (Looking disappointed.) No, I guess not. BEE: (It's the GENIE) Enough about you, Casanova. Talk about her! She's smart, fun, the hair, the eyes, anything -- pick a feature! ALADDIN: Um, Princess Jasmine? You're very ... BEE: Wonderful, magnificent, glorious ... punctual! ALADDIN: Punctual! JASMINE: Punctual? BEE: Sorry. ALADDIN: Beautiful. BEE: Nice recovery. JASMINE: Hmm. I'm rich too, you know. ALADDIN: Yeah! JASMINE: The daughter of a sultan ALADDIN: I know. JASMINE: A fine prize for any prince to marry. ALADDIN: Uh, right. Right. A prince like me. BEE: (Buzzing in his ear) Warning! Warning! JASMINE: Right, a prince like you. And every other stuffed shirt, swaggering, peacock I've met! BEE: (Rear end on fire, wearing goggles and crashing) Mayday! Mayday! JASMINE: Just go jump off a balcony! (She turns and walks away) ALADDIN: What? BEE: Stop her! Stop her! Want me to sting her? ALADDIN: (Swats at bee) Buzz off! BEE: Okay, fine. But remember -- bee yourself! (BEE buzzes into his turban) ALADDIN: Yeah, right! JASMINE: What? ALADDIN: Uh, you're right. You aren't just some prize to be won. (He looks disappointed.) You should be free to make your own choice. (JASMINE and RAJAH look at each other in confusion.) I'll go now. (He steps up on the ledge and drops off.) JASMINE: No! ALADDIN: (Pokes his head up from over the edge) What? What? JASMINE: (Now she's amazed) How ... how are you doing that? (She looks over the edge and sees the CARPET.) ALADDIN: It's a magic carpet. JASMINE: It's lovely. (CARPET takes JASMINE's hand with a tassel.) ALADDIN: You, uh ... you don't want to go for a ride, do you? We could get out of the palace, see the world. JASMINE: Is it safe? ALADDIN: Sure, do you trust me? JASMINE: (She looks at him at the saying of that all-important line) What? ALADDIN: (Extends his hand the same as before) Do you trust me? JASMINE: (Gets a sly grin on her face) Yes. (She takes his hand and gets up on CARPET. It zooms into the sky, knocking them both into sitting positions. The music of 'A Whole New World' swells. JASMINE looks back and sees RAJAH looking up at her questioningly. She gasps as they fly over the palace wall and into the sky.) ALADDIN: I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid. Tell me princess, now when did you last Let your heart decide? (CARPET zooms down through the town, stopping slightly to pick a flower. It gives the flower to ALADDIN, who gives it to JASMINE. She smiles.) I can open your eyes Take you wonder by wonder Over, sideways, and under On a magic carpet ride (CARPET does as ALADDIN sings, then zooms into the clouds.) A whole new world! A new fantastic point of view No one to tell us no Or where to go Or say we're only dreaming (JASMINE looks back and watches Agrabah disappear from sight. CARPET flies in and out of the clouds.) JASMINE: A whole new world A dazzling place I never knew But when I'm way up here It's crystal clear That now I'm in a whole new world with you! ALADDIN: Now I'm in a whole new world with you! (They each catch a small cloud as CARPET continues the flight. It then circles a pillar of clouds, giving a swirly look to it.) JASMINE: Unbelievable sights Indescribable feeling Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling Through an endless diamond sky (They join a flock of birds in the sky. One of them looks terrified and squawks. CARPET does somersaults and flips, at times putting ALADDIN and JASMINE in free-fall, but catching them. They then zoom above the clouds where a starry night awaits them.) JASMINE: A whole new world! ALADDIN: Don't you dare close your eyes JASMINE: A hundred thousand things to see ALADDIN: Hold your breath--it gets better! JASMINE: I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far I can't go back to where I used to be! (They zoom down over a river, apparently the Nile, for beyond the ship's sails are the Great Pyramids. They wave at a worker sculpting the complete nose of the Sphinx. He smiles, but chisels too much and breaks off the front section of the nose.) ALADDIN: A whole new world! JASMINE: Every turn a surprise ALADDIN: With new horizons to pursue JASMINE: Every moment, red-letter (They fly alongside wild horses running. JASMINE pets one of them.) BOTH: I'll chase them anywhere There's time to spare Let me share this whole new world with you ALADDIN: A whole new world JASMINE: A whole new world ALADDIN: That's where we'll be JASMINE: That's where we'll be (They fly through Greece, where ALADDIN grabs an apple from a tree and rolls it down his arm to JASMINE, who is now sure she is dealing with ALADDIN, not PRINCE ALI.) ALADDIN: A thrilling chase JASMINE: A wondrous place BOTH: For you and me! (CARPET hovers along over a lake, and we see the reflection of the moon in the lake. Fireworks burst and we see the couple at a Chinese New Year celebration, sitting on a rooftop.) JASMINE: It's all so magical. ALADDIN: Yeah. JASMINE: (She looks at him and decides to burst the bubble) It's a shame Abu had to miss this. ALADDIN: Nah. He hates fireworks. (CARPET looks up realising what is happening.) He doesn't really like flying either. (And now ALADDIN realizes it) Uh ... that is ... oh no! JASMINE: (She pulls off his turban) You *are* the boy from the market! I knew it. Why did you lie to me? ALADDIN: Jasmine, I'm sorry. JASMINE: Did you think I was stupid? ALADDIN: No! JASMINE: That I wouldn't figure it out? ALADDIN: No. I mean, I hoped you wouldn't. No, that's not what I meant. JASMINE: Who are you? Tell me the truth! ALADDIN: The truth? (He looks at CARPET who waves him on, giving up hope.) The truth ... the truth is ... I sometimes dress as a commoner to um ... to escape the pressures of palace life. (CARPET slumps down in defeat.) But I really am a prince! (The feather on his turban falls down over his eyes.) JASMINE: Why didn't you just tell me? ALADDIN: Well, you know, um ... royalty going out into the city in disguise, I mean, it sounds a little strange, don't you think? JASMINE: Hm. Not that strange. (She flicks up the feather and rests her head on his shoulder. CARPET puts a tassel under his "chin" and looks mystified. Dissolve to ext. of palace balcony, where ALADDIN and JASMINE return. CARPET forms a set of steps and she descends. ALADDIN then descends to just below the balcony.) JASMINE: Good night, my handsome prince. ALADDIN: Sleep well, princess. (They slowly lean forward to kiss, but CARPET bumps him up and they kiss sooner than expected. She walks away slowly then turns and looks at him. Finally she enters her room through the curtain.) ALADDIN: Yes! (He falls back onto the CARPET, who descends to the ground.) For the first time in my life, things are starting to go right. (He looks up at JASMINE's balcony, and four sets of hands grab him.) ALADDIN: Hey! What? (A gag is tied around his mouth. Muffled words) Abu! Abu! (We see the elephant hanging from a net tied in a tree.) GUARD: Hold him! (Shackles are placed on his feet and his hands. Another GUARD ties CARPET in a knot around a tree.) JAFAR: I'm afraid you've worn out your welcome, Prince Abooboo. ALADDIN: (Muffled) Why you -- JAFAR: (Walks away.) Make sure he is never found. (A GUARD hits him in the head, and he falls unconscious. Cut to a cliff, where GUARDS laugh as ALADDIN's body drops into the water. He is conscious now, but his feet are tied to a rock. The rock hits the sea bottom, then the turban lands and the lamp tumbles out. He sees this and struggles to rub the lamp. However, he loses consciousness and falls to the floor. The lamp, unsettled by his movement, rolls down and rubs against his hands. It shakes, and GENIE emerges with a bath brush, rubber duckie, and shower cap) GENIE: Never fails. Get in the bath and there's a rub at the lamp. (Squeaks the duck) Hello? (Sees unconscious ALADDIN) Al? Al! Kid! Snap out of it! Oh, you can't cheat on this one! I can't help you unless you make a wish. You have to say "Genie I want you to save my life." Got it? Okay. Come on, Aladdin! (He grabs ALADDIN by the shoulders and shakes him. His head goes up, then falls.) I'll take that as a yes. (Head turns into a siren.) Wooga! Wooga! (Turns into a submarine.) Up scope! (He babbles in something that sounds like German. On the surface, a giant water spout emerges, and lands on top of the cliff. ALADDIN reawakes and coughs the water out of his lungs.) Don't you scare me like that! ALADDIN: Genie, I -- uh, I -- uh ... (He can't think of how to say it, so they just hug each other.) Thanks, Genie. GENIE: Oh, Al. I'm kinda fond of you, kid. Not that I'd want to pick out curtains or anything. (Cut to JASMINE in her room, humming 'A Whole New World' and brushing her hair. The SULTAN appears in one of the double doors, hypnotized.) SULTAN: Jasmine ... JASMINE: Oh, father -- I just had the most wonderful time. I'm so happy. SULTAN: (Still monotone from the hypnosis) You should be, Jasmine. I have chosen a husband for you. JASMINE: What? SULTAN: (The other door opens and reveals JAFAR.) You will wed Jafar. (JASMINE gasps at the sight of him.) JAFAR: You're speechless, I see. A fine quality in a wife. JASMINE: I will never marry you. (She goes to the SULTAN) Father, I choose Prince Ali! JAFAR: Prince Ali left ... (A quick pan finds ALADDIN standing in the doorway to the balcony.) ALADDIN: Better check your crystal ball again, Jafar! JASMINE: Prince Ali! (JAFAR gasps at the sight of ALADDIN.) IAGO: How in the he -- (back to parrot-ese) -- uh, awk! ALADDIN: Tell them the truth, Jafar! You tried to have me killed. JAFAR: What? (He goes to the SULTAN) Ridiculous nonsense, your highness. He is obviously lying. (He brings the staff close to the SULTAN's face.) SULTAN: Obviously ... lying. (ALADDIN sees the staff with its glowing eyes.) JASMINE: Father, what's wrong with you? ALADDIN: I know what's wrong! (ALADDIN grabs the staff and smashes it on the floor. JAFAR flinches and the spell is broken for good.) SULTAN: (Blinking) Oh, oh, oh my! ALADDIN: Your highness, Jafar's been controlling you with this! (He advances the staff) SULTAN: What? Jafar? You, you traitor! (The trio advances on JAFAR.) JAFAR: Your majesty, all of this can be explained. SULTAN: Guards! Guards! IAGO: Well, that's it -- we're dead, forget about it. Just dig a grave for both of us. We're dead. (But JAFAR sees the lamp in ALADDIN's pocket. He makes a move, but is grabbed by the GUARDS.) SULTAN: Arrest Jafar at once. JAFAR: This is not done yet, boy! (JAFAR pulls a vial from his pocket. ALADDIN sees this and rushes him, but JAFAR throws the vial to the floor. A large red cloud appears. When it is gone, so is JAFAR.) SULTAN: Find him! Search everywhere! ALADDIN: Jasmine, are you alright? JASMINE: Yes. (They lean in to kiss, but the SULTAN barges between them.) SULTAN: Jafar, my most trusted counselor, plotting against me all this time. Just horrible. How will I ever -- (He stops in mid sentence and looks at the pair.) Can this be true? My daughter has finally chosen a suitor? (She nods) Ha ha! Praise Allah! You brilliant boy! Oh, I could kiss you! But I won't, I'll leave that to my (He chuckles and pushes JASMINE closer to ALADDIN) --. But you two will be wed at once! Yes, yes. And you'll be happy and prosperous, and then you, my boy, will become Sultan! ALADDIN: Sultan? SULTAN: Yes, a fine upstanding youth such as yourself, a person of your unimpeachable moral character is exactly what this kingdom needs! (ALADDIN looks concerned at this.) (Cut to int. of JAFAR's chambers. JAFAR and IAGO enter.) IAGO: We gotta get outta here! We gotta get -- I gotta start packing, your highness. Only essentials. (IAGO starts throwing things out of his cage. JAFAR smiles broadly.) Travel light! Bring the guns, the weapons, the knives (Stops and takes out a picture of himself and JAFAR) and how about this picture? I don't know -- I think I'm making a weird face in it. (JAFAR starts to laugh wildly.) Oh, boy -- he's cracked. He's gone nuts. (IAGO flies down to him and knocks on his head.) Jafar? Jafar? Get a grip! (JAFAR grabs him around the neck) Good grip! JAFAR: Prince Ali is nothing more than that ragged urchin Aladdin. He has the lamp, Iago. IAGO: Why that miserable -- JAFAR: But you are going to relieve him of it! IAGO: Me? (Cut to ext. of palace. ALADDIN is looking at the gardens.) ALADDIN: Sultan? They want me to be sultan? (GENIE comes out of lamp) GENIE: Huzzah! Hail the conquering hero! (Turns into a one-man band. He sees ALADDIN walk away with his head hung. He stops, scratches his head, comes up with an idea, then zooms over to ALADDIN. He holds up his hands like a director scoping a picture and we look through them.) Aladdin, you've just won the heart of the princess. What are you gonna do next? (ALADDIN looks at him, then walks away in sadness to the bed, where he falls on it and sighs. GENIE again is confused, then goes to him and pulls out a script labeled 'Aladdin.' Whispering: ) Psst, your line is "I'm going to free the genie." Anytime. ALADDIN: Genie ... I can't. GENIE: Sure you can. You just go "Genie, I wish you free." (He grabs ALADDIN's head and uses him as a mock ventriloquist's dummy. ALADDIN pulls away.) ALADDIN: I'm serious. Look, I'm sorry -- I really am. But they want to make me sultan -- no!, They want to make Prince Ali sultan. Without you, I'm just Aladdin. GENIE: Al, you won! ALADDIN: Because of you! The only reason anyone thinks I'm worth anything is because of you. What if they find out I'm not really a prince? (Quietly) What if Jasmine finds out? I'll lose her. Genie, I -- I can't keep this up on my own. I ... I can't wish you free. GENIE: (Sarcastically) Fine, I understand. After all, you've lied to everyone else, hey, I was beginning to feel left out. Now, if you'll excuse me, master. (He says the last word in disgust, then poofs back into the lamp.) (ABU and CARPET are watching from the window.) ABU: Ohhh. ALADDIN: Genie, I'm really sorry. (A tongue comes out of the spout and raspberries him.) Well, fine! (He slams a pillow on top of the LAMP.) Then just -- stay in there! (He looks at ABU and CARPET.) What are you guys looking at? (They both leave.) Look, I -- I'm sorry. Wait, Abu -- wait -- I'm sorry, I didn't -- wait, c'mon. (He sighs.) What am I doing? Genie's right -- I gotta tell Jasmine the truth. JASMINE: (From a distance) Ali, oh Ali -- will you come here? ALADDIN: (Putting on his turban) Well, here goes. (He walks into the garden.) Jasmine? Where are you? (We see IAGO wearing a beak and standing on stilts next to a FLAMINGO in the pond. He is imitating JASMINE's voice.) IAGO: *ahem* Out in the menagerie -- hurry. ALADDIN: I'm coming. (We see ALADDIN hurry past, not noticing the birds. IAGO laughs, then turns back and looks into the face of a FLAMINGO, who is panting.) FLAMINGO: D'uh! IAGO: Ya got a problem, pinky? (He sweeps the bird's feet out from under it. IAGO runs into the palace and finds the lamp under the pillow.) Boy, Jafar's gonna be happy to see you! (Stretches his face like JAFAR's and imitates his voice.) Excellent work, Iago! (Normal) Ah, go on. (JAFAR) No, really -- on a scale of one to ten, you are eleven! (Normal) Oh, Jafar --you're too kind. I'm embarrassed, I'm blushing. (He flies away with the lamp.) (Cut to the palace entrance. The SULTAN is standing on top, making an announcement to the people.) SULTAN: People of Agrabah, my daughter has finally chosen a suitor! (Cut to behind the curtain, where JASMINE is peeking. ALADDIN appears at the bottom of the stairs.) ALADDIN: Jasmine? JASMINE: Ali, where have you been? ALADDIN: There's something I've got to tell you. JASMINE: The whole kingdom has turned out for father's announcement! ALADDIN: No! But Jasmine, listen to me, please! (She straightens him up, puts his turban on and gives him a quick kiss on the nose.) JASMINE: Good luck! (She pushes him out onto the platform with the SULTAN, where he overlooks the entire crowd.) SULTAN: ... Ali Ababwa! ALADDIN: Oh, boy! (Far above, IAGO and JAFAR watch through a window.) IAGO: Look at them, cheering that little pipsqueak. JAFAR: Let them cheer. (He lifts the lamp and rubs it. GENIE comes out.) GENIE: You know Al, I'm getting (turns and sees JAFAR) reallyyyyyy -- I don't think you're him. (He descends and consults a playbill.) Tonight, the role of Al will be played by a tall, dark and sinister ugly man. JAFAR: I am your master now. (He throws GENIE to the ground and puts his foot on GENIE's face.) GENIE: I was afraid of that. JAFAR: Genie, grant me my first wish. I wish to rule on high, as Sultan! (Cut to ext where dark clouds circle the palace. The palace shakes. The roof rips off and the SULTAN and ALADDIN duck.) ALADDIN: Whoa! SULTAN: Bless my soul. What is this? What is going on? (His turban lifts off his head. When he grabs it, his whole body flies up, then is stripped of all his clothing except his boxer shorts. The clothing reappears on JAFAR.) JASMINE: Father! JAFAR: Heh heh heh! SULTAN: Jafar, you vile betrayer. IAGO: That's Sultan Vile Betrayer to you. ALADDIN: Oh, yeah? Well, we'll just see about that! (Pulls off his own turban, but finds it empty) The lamp! JAFAR: Finders-keepers, Abooboo. (They both look up and see a gigantic GENIE lift the palace into the clouds. ALADDIN whistles and CARPET flies up to greet him. They fly up near the GENIE's head.) ALADDIN: Genie! No! GENIE: Sorry, kid -- I got a new master now. (He places the palace on top of a mountain.) SULTAN: Jafar, I order you to stop! JAFAR: Ah, but there's a new order now -- my order! Finally, *you* will bow to *me*! (The SULTAN bows, but JASMINE does not.) JASMINE: We will never bow to you! IAGO: Why am I not surprised? JAFAR: If you will not bow before a sultan, then you will cower before a sorcerer! (To GENIE) Genie, my second wish -- I wish to be the most powerful sorcerer in the world! (GENIE extends his finger. ALADDIN tries to stop him, but he cannot, and another GENIE (tm) brand lightning bolt strikes JAFAR, returning him to his normal look, complete with a new snake staff.) IAGO: Ladies and gentlemen, a warm Agrabah welcome for Sorcerer Jafar! JAFAR: Now where were we? Ah, yes -- abject humiliation! (He zaps JASMINE and the SULTAN with his staff, and they both bow to him. RAJAH comes running at him. He zaps RAJAH, and the tiger turns into a kitty-cat.) Down, boy! Oh, Princess -- (lifts her chin with his staff)--there's someone I'm dying to introduce you to. ALADDIN: (off-camera) Jafar! Get your hands off her! (JAFAR zaps ALADDIN. CARPET flies away.) JAFAR: Prince Ali Yes, it is he, But not as you know him. Read my lips and come to grips With reality (JAFAR brings the two of them closer in the air.) Yes, meet a blast from your past Whose lies were too good to last Say hello to your precious Prince Ali! (JAFAR zaps ALI back to ALADDIN.) IAGO: Or should we say Aladdin? JASMINE: Ali ... what? But ... ALADDIN: Jasmine, I tried to tell you. JAFAR: So Ali turns out to be merely Aladdin Just a con, need I go on? Take it from me His personality flaws Give me adequate cause To send him packing on a one-way trip So his prospects take a terminal dip His assets frozen, the venue chosen Is the ends of the earth, whoopee! So long, IAGO: Good bye, see ya! JAFAR: Ex-Prince Ali! (JAFAR has zapped ABU back to normal. He sends the two of them into a tall tower, then launches it like a rocket, but not before CARPET can get in. Then we see a snowy wasteland, where the pillar crashes and rolls. It finally comes to a stop. ALADDIN emerges, obviously very cold.) ALADDIN: Abu? Abu! (He looks back at a shivering pile of snow.) Oh, this is all my fault--I should have freed the genie when I had the chance. (He digs out ABU and cradles him inside his vest.) Abu! Are you okay? (ABU nods, shivering.) I'm sorry, Abu -- I made a mess of everything. Somehow ... I gotta go back and set things right. (He starts to walk through the snow, and he eventually steps on a frozen CARPET.) Carpet! (He looks up and sees CARPET is pinned by the tower. He tugs to try and free CARPET. He can't do it, so he begins to remove snow from the base of the tower.) Abu, start digging! That's it! (Finally, enough snow has been removed, and the tower begins to roll. ALADDIN runs away, looks back, then slides into place. The tower rolls over him, and when it is gone, ALADDIN and ABU are left sitting in the patch of snow made by the window of the tower.) Yeah! Alright! (He looks up at his turban, made out of scared ABU, who falls off. CARPET shakes off the snow and rushes over to pick them up.) Now, back to Agrabah! Let's go! (We cut back to ext. long shot of Agrabah, shrouded in red clouds. Cut to int. and slow zoom of throne room. IAGO has the SULTAN tied up like a marionette, and JASMINE is chained next to the throne.) IAGO: Puppet ruler want a cracker? Here's your cracker. Shove 'em all right down your throat. Here, have lotsa crackers! JASMINE: Stop it! Jafar, leave him alone! (IAGO stops for a second, then continues until JAFAR holds up a hand.) JAFAR: It pains me to see you reduced to this, Jasmine. (He takes a bite out of the apple she is holding.) A beautiful desert bloom such as yourself should be on the arm of the most powerful man in the world. (He waves his finger and a crown appears.) What do you say, my dear? Why, with you as my queen ... (She picks up a glass of wine and throws it in his face.) JASMINE: Never! JAFAR: I'll teach you some respect! (She falls back as he raises his hand to slap her. Then he stops.) No. Genie. (GENIE cringes.) I have decided to make my final wish. I wish for Princess Jasmine to fall desperately in love with me. (We see ALADDIN race back into town.) GENIE: (Again as Buckley) Ah, master -- there are a few addendas, some quid pro quo -- JAFAR: Don't talk back to me, you big blue lout! You will do what I order you to do, slave! (JASMINE looks up and sees ALADDIN in the window, motioning her to play along.) JASMINE: (She stands and puts the crown on her head.) Jafar! (He and the GENIE both look over.) I never realized how incredibly handsome you are. (The GENIE's jaw drops.) JAFAR: That's better. (He pulls the GENIE's jaw up like a shade.) Now, pussycat, tell me more about ... myself. JASMINE: You're tall, dark ... well dressed... (JAFAR walks over to her. ALADDIN jumps down with ABU and GENIE sees them.) GENIE: Al! Al, little buddy! ALADDIN: Shh! GENIE: (Literally zips his mouth shut, then unzips it.) Al, I can't help you -- I work for senor psychopath, now. (His head turns into JAFAR's, then back.) What're you gonna do? ALADDIN: Hey -- I'm a street rat, remember? (He rezips GENIE's mouth.) I'll improvise. (He slides down a pile of coins and hides close to JAFAR and JASMINE. JAFAR's back is to ALADDIN.) JAFAR: Go on. JASMINE: And your beard ... is so ... twisted! (She has her arms around him. She pretends to twist with her finger, but she is actually motioning for ALADDIN to come over. He makes his move. IAGO sees him.) IAGO: Jafa -- mmmmmm! (ABU grabs him and covers his mouth.) JAFAR: And the street rat? JASMINE: What street rat? (They are about to kiss when IAGO manages to knock over a bowl. JAFAR turns to look, but JASMINE grabs him back and kisses him. ALADDIN looks disgusted. IAGO and ABU both look disgusted.) ABU: Yuck! JAFAR: That was -- (he sees ALADDIN's reflection in her crown.) You!! How many times do I have to kill you, boy? (He zaps ALADDIN. JASMINE rushes him, and he throws her to the ground. ALADDIN rushes and grabs the staff.) ALADDIN: Get the lamp! (JASMINE runs to it. JAFAR, however, shakes off ALADDIN, then zaps her into an hourglass.) JAFAR: No! Ah, ah, ah, princess -- your time is up! (Sand begins to fall from the top onto her.) ALADDIN: Jasmine! IAGO: Oh, nice shot, Jafa -- (He is knocked out by ABU.) (ABU rushes for the lamp.) JAFAR: Don't toy with me! (ABU is zapped into a toy monkey.) ALADDIN: Abu! (CARPET rushes in.) JAFAR: Things are unraveling fast, now boy. (CARPET is zapped and unravels. ALADDIN again rushes for the lamp.) Get the point? (His path is blocked by large swords sticking in the floor. JAFAR grabs the lamp and laughs hideously. ALADDIN pulls a sword out of the floor.) I'm just getting warmed up! (He breathes a ring of fire around ALADDIN.) ALADDIN: Are you afraid to fight me yourself, you cowardly snake? JAFAR: A snake, am I? Perhaps you'd like to see how snake-like I can be! (He smiles broadly, and we see a snake's tongue come out from behind his teeth. He then turns into a giant cobra, and the ring of fire around ALADDIN becomes part of the snake encircling ALADDIN. The snake JAFAR make moves on ALADDIN, and on the third try, ALADDIN swings the sword and hits JAFAR. Cut to GENIE cheerleaders wearing 'A' sweaters.) GENIE: Rickem, rockem, rackem, rake--stick that sword into that snake! JAFAR: You sssstay out of thissss! (GENIE waving a tiny pennant with a 'J' on it.) GENIE: (Weakly) Jafar, Jafar, he's our man -- if he can't do it, GREAT! (ALADDIN uses the distraction to make a break for the hourglass where JASMINE is trapped. However, JAFAR sees this and blocks the path. ALADDIN is thrown away, and he loses his sword.) JASMINE: Aladdin! (ALADDIN jumps on a large gem and slides across the floor, grabbing the sword on his way. He turns a corner, but the pursuing snake cannot, and the front half of JAFAR crashes through a wall and hangs outside the palace. ALADDIN jumps up on the snake's back and stabs it. JAFAR screams in agony. ALADDIN again tries to free the princess.) ALADDIN: Jasmine, hang on! (He is about to hit the glass with his sword when JAFAR grabs him.) JAFAR: (laughs hideously) You little fool! You thought you could defeat the most powerful being on earth! IAGO: (with GENIE coming up behind him) Squeeze him, Jafar, squeeze him like a -- awk! (GENIE elbows him out of the way) JAFAR: Without the genie, boy, you're nothing! ALADDIN: (Has an idea) The genie ... the genie! The genie has more power than you'll ever have! JAFAR: What?! ALADDIN: He gave you your power, he can take it away! GENIE: Al, what are you doing? Why are you bringing me into this? ALADDIN: Face it, Jafar -- you're still just second best! JAFAR: You're right! His power does exceed my own! But not for long! (JAFAR circles around the GENIE.) GENIE: The boy is crazy. He's a little punch drunk. One too many hits with the snake (His hand turns into a snake and he hits his head with it.) JAFAR: Slave, I make my third wish! I wish to be an all-powerful genie! GENIE: (Reluctantly) All right, your wish is my command. Way to go, Al. (GENIE zaps JAFAR with the last GENIE (tm) brand lightning bolt. JAFAR's snake form dissipates and he turns into a genie. We see JASMINE's raised hand disappear under the sand. ALADDIN runs over and finally smashes the glass. Sand and princess pour out.) JAFAR: Yes! Yes! The power! The absolute power! JASMINE: (to ALADDIN) What have you done? ALADDIN: Trust me! (A black lamp appears at JAFAR's base. JAFAR is busy conjuring.) JAFAR: The universe is mine to command, to control! ALADDIN: Not so fast, Jafar! Aren't you forgetting something? (JAFAR looks down questioningly) You wanted to be a genie, you got it! (Shackles appear on JAFAR's wrists.) JAFAR: What?! ALADDIN: And everything that goes with it! JAFAR: No! No! IAGO: I'm gettin' out of here! (But JAFAR grabs him.) Come on, you're the genie, I don't want -- (IAGO tries to fly away, but is sucked in with JAFAR.) ALADDIN: Phenomenal cosmic powers! Itty bitty living space. GENIE: Al, you little genius, you! (ABU turns back to normal, the CARPET re-ravels, JASMINE, the SULTAN and RAJAH are standing together. RAJAH jumps up into the arms of the SULTAN, then they are all transformed. The SULTAN is crushed because of the weight of the new RAJAH. The palace reappears where it used to be in the city. ALADDIN is left holding the new lamp.) JAFAR: (Both from inside the lamp.) Get your blasted beak out of my face! IAGO: Oh, shut up, you moron! JAFAR: Don't tell me to shut up! GENIE: Allow me. (He takes the lamp and goes to the balcony. He is now wearing a baseball cap. He winds up as if to throw the lamp, but opens his palm flat and flicks it out into the desert with his finger.) Ten thousand years in a cave of wonders ought to chill him out! (JAFAR and IAGO continue to argue as they fade out. JASMINE walks over to ALADDIN. They hold hands, but both look sad.) ALADDIN: Jasmine, I'm sorry I lied to you about being a prince. JASMINE: I know why you did. ALADDIN: Well, I guess ... this ... is goodbye? (GENIE pokes his head around the corner shocked at what he is hearing.) JASMINE: Oh, that stupid law. This isn't fair -- I love you. GENIE: (Wipes away a tear) Al, no problem. You've still got one wish left. Just say the word and you're a prince again. ALADDIN: But Genie, what about your freedom? GENIE: Hey, it's only an eternity of servitude. This is love. (He leans down next to her.) Al, you're not gonna find another girl like her in a million years. Believe me, I know. I've looked. ALADDIN: Jasmine, I do love you, but I've got to stop pretending to be something I'm not. JASMINE: I understand. (They take one final look into each other's eyes, then ALADDIN turns to the GENIE.) ALADDIN: Genie, I wish for your freedom. GENIE: One bona fide prince pedigree coming up. I -- what? ALADDIN: (He holds the lamp up to GENIE.) Genie - you're free! (A transformation scene ensues, in which the shackles fall off GENIE's wrist and the lamp falls uselessly to the ground. GENIE picks it up and looks at it.) GENIE: (He can't believe it.) Heh, heh! I'm free. I'm free. (He hands the lamp to ALADDIN.) Quick, quick, wish for something outrageous. Say "I want the Nile." Wish for the Nile. Try that! ALADDIN: Er ... I wish for the Nile. GENIE: No way!! (Laughs hysterically. He bounces around the balcony like a pinball.) Oh does that feel good! I'm free! I'm free at last! I'm hittin' the road. I'm off to see the world! I'm -- (He is packing a suitcase, but looks down and sees ALADDIN looking very sad.) ALADDIN: Genie, I'm -- I'm gonna miss you. GENIE: Me too, Al. No matter what anybody says, you'll always be a prince to me. (They hug. The SULTAN steps forward.) SULTAN: That's right. You've certainly proven your worth as far as I'm concerned. It's that law that's the problem. JASMINE: Father? SULTAN: Well, am I Sultan or am I Sultan? From this day forth, the princess shall marry whomever she deems worthy. JASMINE: (She smiles widely and runs into ALADDIN's arms.) Him! I choose ... I choose you, Aladdin. ALADDIN: Ha, ha. Call me Al. (They are about to kiss when giant blue hands pull everybody together. GENIE is decked out in a Hawaiian shirt with golf clubs and a Goofy hat.) GENIE: Oh, all of ya. Come over here. Big group hug! D'you mind if I kiss the monkey? (He kisses ABU.) Ooh, hairball! Well, I can't do any more damage around this popsicle stand. I'm outta here! Bye, bye, you two crazy lovebirds. Hey, Rugman: ciao! I'm history! No, I'm mythology! I don't care what I am -- I'm free! (The GENIE flies up into the blue sky leaving a trail of sparkles behind him. They cut to fireworks exploding over a nightscape. We tilt down and see ALADDIN and JASMINE flying on CARPET.) ALADDIN: A whole new world JASMINE: A whole new life BOTH: (with off-camera chorus) For you and me! MEN'S CHORUS: A whole new world! (They fly off into the moonlight, and after they have disappeared, the moon turns and reveals the GENIE's laughing face. Suddenly the film is grabbed "off the projector", the GENIE lifts it up and looks at the audience.) GENIE: Made ya look! (Drops the film back to normal, with the normal moon. Fade to black.) (The end.)
