Iago
[on Jafar who's laughing his head off hysterically]

Oh, boy. He's cracked. He's goin' nuts! Jafar! [pounds on Jafar's turban] Jafar! GET A GRIP!!! [Jafar grabs him toughly around the throat which causes his head's blood circulation] Good grip.

Iago
[going as a flamingo, turns around and finds a real flamingo smiling in his face]

Ya got a problem... [hits the flamingo with his right stilt, and the flamingo falls into the water] Pinky?! Jerk. [laughs maniacally, removes his flamingo disguise, sneaks into the palace, and gets the lamp] Boy, Jafar's gonna be happy to see you! [mimics Jafar] Excellent work, Iago! [in his normal voice] Aw, go on! [as Jafar] No, really. I mean, dead seriously. On a scale of 1 to 10, you are an 11. [in his normal voice] Oh, Jafar, you're too kind. [flies away with the lamp] I'm embarrassed. I'm blushing.

Jafar
[after becoming a genie]

The universe is mine to command! TO CONTROL!!

Aladdin

Not so fast, Jafar! Aren't you forgetting something?!

Jafar

Huh?

Aladdin

You wanted to be a genie? You got it!

Jafar

WHAT?!

Aladdin
[sucks the evil genie into a black lamp]

And everything that goes with it!

Jafar

NO! NO!!

Iago

I'm gettin' outta here!

Aladdin

Phenomenal cosmic powers!

Jafar

NOOOOOOOO!!!

Iago
[Jafar grabs him]

Come on! You're the genie! I don't wanna be... [gets trapped in the lamp with Jafar]

Aladdin

Itty-bitty living space.

Genie

Al! You little genius, you!

Peddler
[First lines; The movie begins with the song Arabian Nights, sung over scenes of the desert and the city of Agrabah, in all its exotic splendor] [singing]

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 (soundtrack version: Where they cut off your ear / If they don't like your face) / 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 of his guard / Could fall and fall hard / Out there on the dunes...| [speaking] Ah, salaam and good evening to you, my worthy friend. Please, please come closer. [the camera zooms in] Ah uh, too close, a little to close... [the camera pulls back] There. Welcome to Agrabah, city of mystery, of enchantment, [pulls a bag off of the camel and unrolls it to reveal a merchant's stand] and the finest merchandise this side of the River Jordan, on sale today! Come on down. [chuckles] Look at this, yes, he he, combination hookah and coffee maker, also makes julienne fries! It will not break! It will not... [breaks apart] It broke. [toss it away] Oh, look at this, I have never seen one of these intact before...This is the famous Dead Sea Tupperware. Listen, [lifts cover slightly and blows a raspberry] ah, still good. Ha ha. [the camera pans to the right] Wait, don't go! I can see that you are only interested in the exceptionally rare. I think, then, you will be most rewarded to consider this. [pulls out an oil lamp] Do not be fooled by its common-place appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts. 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 will like to hear the tale? [pours sand from the lamp into his hand, and throws it into the air which form into stars which transition into the next scene] It begins on a dark night, where a dark man waits, with a dark purpose.

Jafar
[Camera tilts down to find Jafar sitting on his horse and Iago on his shoulder as Gazeem comes riding up to the pair] [first words]

You... are late.

Gazeem
[first words]

A thousand apologies O Patient One.

Jafar

You have it, then?

Gazeem

I had to slit a few throats, but I got it. [pulls the scarab piece back] Ah-ah! The treasure! [Iago flies over and swipes the piece] Ouch!

Jafar
[Iago rips the scarab from Gazeem's fingers and drops it into Jafar's hand]

Trust me my pungent friend. You'll get what's coming to you.

Iago

What's coming to you! Awk!

Jafar
[Jafar pulls out the second half of the medallion. Gazeem shocked before Jafar reaches and the scarab halves begins to glow. Finally, the scarab glows, then flies out of Jafar's hand, scaring the horses, and is off towards the dunes]

Quickly, follow the trail! [On horseback, the trio chase the medallion across the moonlit desert] FASTER!

Jafar
[The creature splits in two, each half lodging into a sand dune. A towering tiger head rises from the dune. The pieces of the scarab from its glowing eyes, the three villains' horses rear on their hind legs, throwing their riders off. Jafar grins as the tiger head with cow-like ears opens it cavernous mouth.]

At last! After all my years of searching...The Cave of Wonders!

Iago

Awk! Cave of Wonders!

Gazeem

By Allah!

Jafar
[pushes Gazeem forward]

Now...Remember! Bring me the lamp. The rest of the treasure is yours. But the lamp, is mine!

Iago
[Gazeem steps forward into the tiger's mouth, which forms the entrance to the cave. He chuckles as he goes]

Awk! The lamp! Awk! The lamp! [Now that Iago and Jafar are alone, Iago opens up in normal English] Geez, where did ya dig this bozo up?

Jafar
[points at the tiger head]

Shh.

Cave of Wonders
[Gazeem sneaks into the tiger head and the cave echoes, looks at sand before now the staircase, Gazeem reaches the tiger's mouth, then the blows out and a deep voice speaks]

WHO DISTURBS MY SLUMBER?!

Gazeem
[last words]

Er...it is I, Gazeem, a humble thief.

Cave of Wonders

KNOW THIS. ONLY ONE MAY ENTER HERE. ONE WHOSE WORTH LIES FAR WITHIN. A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!

Jafar
[Gazeem looks back at Jafar and sneaks the tiger head opening apprehensively]

What are you waiting for? Go on!

Jafar
[Gazeem across the tiger's mouth, then the beast sighing, Gazeem reaches the slowly walk and sighs, he turns back but the tiger's mouth slams down] [shielding himself from the flash]

Nooooooooo!!!!

Cave of Wonders
[From off-screen]

SEEK THEE OUT, the diamond, the diamond in the rough. [echoes]

Iago
[pops out sand and coughs]

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 flies up to Jafar's shoulder]

Jafar

Patience, Iago, patience. Gazeem was obviously less than worthy.

Iago
[extremely sarcastic]

Oh, there's a big surprise. That's it, an incredib-- I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from that surprise. What are we gonna do? We got a big problem, a big--

Jafar
[holds his beak shut]

Yes. Only one may enter, I must find this one, this...diamond in the rough.

Sultan
[Inside the Sultan's chambers]

I don't know where she gets it from. Her mother wasn't nearly so picky.

Sultan
[A shadow falls over him. The Sultan looks up startled and sees Jafar]

Ooh, oh. Ah, Jafar, my most trusted advisor. I am in desperate need of your wisdom.

Jafar

My life is but to serve you, my lord. [bows]

Sultan

It's this suitor business, Jasmine refuses to choose a husband, I'm at my wit's-end.

Iago

Awk, wit's-end.

Sultan

Oh, ha ha. Have a cracker, pretty Polly!

Jafar
[The Sultan pulls a cracker out from his pocket. Iago looks terrified. Then the Sultan stuffs it in Iago's mouth. Iago grimaces as he tries to eat it. Jafar and the Sultan both laugh]

Your Majesty, certainly has a way with dumb animals. Now then, perhaps I can divine a solution to this thorny problem.

Sultan

If anyone can help, it's you.

Jafar

Ah, but it will require the use of the mystic blue diamond.

Sultan

Uh, my ring? But it's been in the family for years.

Jafar

It is necessary to find the Princess a suitor.

Jafar
[Jafar says the word 'Princess' with the accent on the second syllable, 'cess.' He turns his staff with a cobra head towards The Sultan. The eyes of the staff begin to glow. The room darkens, 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

Here, Jafar, whatever you need will be fine.

Jafar
[The Sultan removes his ring and hands it to Jafar. The room returns to normal as Jafar pulls back the staff]

You are most gracious, my liege. Now run along and play with your little toys.

Sultan

Yes, that'll be pretty good.

Iago
[Jafar and Iago exit. We follow them. When they're out of the room, the parrot spits out the cracker]

I can't take it anymore! If I gotta choke down on one more of those moldy, disgusting crackers. Bam! Whack!

Jafar
[Jafar pulls a rope, which reveals a hidden entrance to his chambers]

Calm yourself, Iago.

Iago

Then I'd grab him around the head. Whack! Whack!

Jafar

Soon, I will be sultan, not that addle-pated twit.

Iago

And then I stuff the crackers down his throat! [laughs]
[The pair pass through a door and slam it shut]

Iago
[Inside Jafar's lair, Iago is running on a gear in a bizarre contraption. At the top of the contraption is a red storm brewing] [huffing and puffing]

With all due respect, your rottenness, couldn't we just wait for a real storm?

Jafar

Save your breath, Iago. Faster!

Iago
[Jafar places the Sultan's diamond is set in a frame above a large hourglass]

Yes, O Mighty Evil One.

Jafar
[Iago runs faster. A lightning bolt streaks through the ring, passing into an hourglass below. The sands begin to swirl]

Ah, sands of time - Reveal to me the one who could enter the cave. [The sand in top forms the Cave of Wonders, it falls through into a storm, but it shows Aladdin climbing up a ladder, followed by Jasmine who is covered in her cloak] Yes, yes! There he is. My diamond in the rough!

Iago

That's him, that's the clown we've been waiting for?

Jafar
[Iago loses his footing and is sucked into the gears]

Let's have the guards extend him an invitation to the palace. Shall we?

Iago
[Iago goes flying past and slams into the wall upside down]

Swell.
[Jafar laughs hideously, and the camera zooms in on Aladdin in the hourglass]

Princess Jasmine
[Inside the palace, Jafar emerging from his secret chambers. Jafar slides the door shut carefully before Jasmine comes storms and Jafar slams it shut, pines Iago inside the door frame]

Jafar?

Jafar

Oh, uh, Princess.

Iago

Awk! Jafar, I'm stuck!

Jafar

How may I be of service to you? [spreads out his cape]

Princess Jasmine

The guards just took a boy from the market, on your orders.

Jafar

Your father's charged me with keeping peace in Agrabah. The boy was a criminal.

Princess Jasmine

What was his crime?

Iago

I can't breathe, Jafar!

Jafar

Why, kidnapping the Princess, of course.

Iago

If you could just. [he kicks him back inside the door and it slams shut] Ow! That hurt!

Princess Jasmine

He didn't kidnap me! I ran away!

Jafar
[walks away]

Oh, dear! Oh, why frightfully upsetting. Had I but known.

Princess Jasmine

What do you mean?

Jafar

Sadly, the boy's sentence has already been carried out.

Princess Jasmine

What sentence?

Jafar

Death. [Jasmine gasps] By beheading.

Princess Jasmine

No!

Jafar

I am exceedingly sorry, Princess.

Princess Jasmine

How could you? [crying]

Iago
[Iago finally makes it out through the door. He flies up and lands on Jafar's shoulder, coughing]

So, how did it go?

Jafar

I think she took it rather well. [they both get a sinister smile on their faces]

Princess Jasmine
[Outside the gardens, crying at the edge of the fountain. Rajah comes over to comfort her. She pets him]

It's all my fault, Rajah. I didn't even know his name.

Aladdin
[Inside the dungeon, rats scurry across the gloomy walls, in and out of shafts of moonlight shining through a high, barred window. We see Aladdin chained to the wall] [to himself]

She was the Princess. I don't believe it. I must have sounded so stupid to her.

Abu
[from a distance]

Yoo-hoo! Aladdin? Hello!

Aladdin
[Abu's shadow appears at the window at the top of the dungeon]

Abu! Down here!

Aladdin
[We hear chitters, scampers down before Aladdin pulls on his arm irons]

Hey, come on. Help me outta these.

Aladdin
[Abu stops, then begins chattering wildly, dropping to the ground. He wraps a cloth around his head and makes his eyes big in an imitates of the Princess]

Hey, she was in trouble. Ah, she was worth it.

Abu
[Abu jumps up on Aladdin's shoulders and pulls a small set of tools out of his pocket, then frees Aladdin]

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 it.

Abu
[Abu finally frees Aladdin's hands]

Ta da!

Aladdin

I'm a fool.

Jafar
[off-screen]

You're only a fool if you give up, boy.

Aladdin
[Aladdin sees Jafar as a old prisoner sitting in the corner]

Who are you?

Jafar

A lowly prisoner like yourself. But together perhaps we can be more.

Aladdin

I'm listening.

Jafar

There is a cave, boy, the Cave of Wonders, filled with treasures beyond your wildest dreams.

Jafar
[Abu lights up at this] [sly]

Treasure enough to impress even your princess, I'd wager.

Iago

Jafar, can ya hurry it up? I'm dying in here!

Aladdin

But the law says that only a prince can marry...

Jafar

Haven't you heard of the Golden Rule, haven't you boy? Whoever has the gold makes the rules.

Aladdin

So why will you share all of that wonderful treasure with me?

Jafar

I need a young pair of legs and a strong back to go in after it.

Aladdin

Uh, one problem. It's out there, we're in here?

Jafar
[Jafar walks to a wall and pushes open a hidden exit]

Mmm, mmm, mmm. Things aren't always what they seem. So do we have a deal?

Abu
[Aladdin looks at Abu, who shrugs his shoulders]

Hmm?

Sultan
[The next morning, inside The Sultan's palace, Jafar is there with Iago, Jasmine and The Sultan]

Jafar, this is an outrage. If it weren't for all your years of loyal service... From now on, you're to discuss sentencing of prisoners with me, before they are beheaded.

Jafar

I assure you, Your Highness, it won't happen again.

Sultan

Jasmine, Jafar, now let's put this whole messy business behind us. Please?

Jafar

My most abject and humblest apologies to you as well, Princess.

Princess Jasmine
[Jafar takes her hand to kiss it, but she yanks it 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

That's nice. All settled, then. Now, Jasmine, getting back to this suitor business, [looks and sees Jasmine walking out] Jasmine? Jasmine!

Jafar
[The Sultan runs after her]

If only I had gotten that lamp!

Iago
[Jasmine's voice]

I will have the power to get rid of you! [normal voice] Doh! To think, we gotta keep kissing up to that chump, and his chump daughter for the rest of our lives...

Jafar

No, Iago. Only until she finds a chump husband. Then she'll have us banished, or beheaded!

Jafar and Iago

Eeewww!

Iago
[has an idea]

Oh! Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Jafar? What if you were the chump husband?

Jafar
[looks at Iago in insult]

What?

Iago

Okay, you marry the Princess, all right? Then, uh, you become 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! [dive bombs into the floor] Kersplat!

Jafar

Iago, I love the way your foul little mind works!
[Both laugh]

Jafar
[We zoom out slowly with the oasis in the distance, as fireworks begin to explode outward. Cut to a stack of a pile of toys. (Look for the Beast from "Beauty and 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.]

Sire, I have found a solution to the problem with your daughter.

Iago

Awk! The problem with your daughter!

Sultan

Oh, 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... hmm... interesting.

Sultan

What? Who?

Jafar

The royal vizier! Why, that would be...me!

Sultan

Why, I thought the law says that only a prince can marry a princess, I'm quite sure.

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... [the spell breaks momentarily] ...but you're so old!

Jafar
[Holds the staff closer]

The Princess WILL marry me!

Sultan
[The trumpet fanfare of "Prince Ali" begins]

The Princess will marry... What? What is that? That music! Ha ha ha. Jafar, you must come and see this!

Chorus

Make way for Prince Ali / Say hey! It's Prince Ali.

Genie
[singing]

Hey, clear the way in the old bazaar / Hey, you! Let us through, it's a bright new star / Oh, come be the first on your block to meet his eye / Make way, here he comes, ring bells, bang the drums! / Oh, you're gonna love this guy!| Prince Ali, fabulous he, Ali Ababwa / Genuflect, show some respect / Down on one knee / Now, try your best to stay calm / Brush up your Sunday salaam / Then come and meet his spectacular coterie / Prince Ali, mighty is he, Ali Ababwa / Strong as ten regular men, definitely. [speaking as Walter Brennan] He faced the galloping hordes! [singing] A hundred bad guys with swords / [as Lou Albano] Who sent those goons to their lords? Why, Prince Ali!

Chorus

He's got 75 golden camels.

Genie
[as Harry Reasoner]

Don't they look lovely, June?

Girls

Purple peacocks, he's got 53.

Genie
[as June Lockhart or Mary Hart]

Fabulous, Harry, I love the feathers. [singing] When it comes to exotic-type mammals / Has he got a zoo? I'm telling you.

Genie and Chorus and Girls

It's a world-class menagerie.

Genie and Girls
[Genie doing an Ethel Merman impression]

Prince Ali, handsome is he, there's no question, this Ali's alluring / Ali Ababwa, never ordinary, never boring / That physique! How can I speak? / Weak at the knee, everything about the man just plain impresses / Well, get on out in that square, he's a winner, he's a wiz, 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.

Chorus and Girls

He's got 95 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.

Genie and Chorus and Girls

Prince Ali, amorous he, Ali Ababwa.

Genie
[singing]

Heard your princess was a sight lovely to see! / And that, good people, is why / He got dolled up and dropped by.

Chorus and Girls

With 60 elephants, llamas galore / With his bears and 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! [fanfare ends]

Sultan
[clapping]

Splendid, absolutely marvelous.

Aladdin
[clears throat]

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. [rushes over and shakes Aladdin'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. [tugs at the tassels, and they tug his moustache] I don't suppose I might...

Aladdin

Why certainly, Your Majesty. Allow me.

Jafar
[He helps The Sultan up onto the Carpet, and he plops down. Jafar pins the Carpet down on the floor with the staff]

Sire, I must advise against this.

Sultan

Oh, button up, Jafar. Learn to have a little fun.

Jafar
[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]

Just where did you say you were from?

Aladdin

Oh, much farther than you've traveled, I'm sure. [smiles. Jafar does not]

Jafar

Try me. [Iago lands on the staff]

Sultan

Look out, Polly!

Iago
[They all duck in time as the Carpet whizzes centimeters over their heads. Carpet returns and The Sultan chases Iago around the room]

Hey, watch it. Watch it with the dumb rug!

Sultan
[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 Sultan's on Carpet's, saying "Have a cracker, have a cracker." The real Sultan begins his final approach]

Out of the way, I'm coming in to land. Jafar, watch this! [he lands]

Jafar

Spectacular, Your Highness.

Sultan

Ooh, that was 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 besides. [whispers to Jafar] If we're lucky, you won't have to marry Jasmine after all.

Jafar

I 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!!!

Sultan
[Jasmine walks in quietly]

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 than the others. What makes him think he is worthy of the princess?

Aladdin

Your Majesty, I am Prince Ali Ababwa! [pricks Jafar's goatee, which springs out in all directions] Just let her meet me. I will win your daughter!

Princess 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! [storms out]

Sultan

Oh, dear. Don't worry, Prince Ali. Just give Jasmine time to cool down. [they exit]

Jafar

I think it's time to say goodbye to Prince Abooboo.

Aladdin
[Jasmine on her balcony at night. We tilt down and find Aladdin and company in the courtyard]

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.

Genie
[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] [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]

Okay, Sparky, here's the deal. You wanna court the Little Lady, you gotta be a straight shooter, do ya got it?

Aladdin

What?

Genie
[back to normal, 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, [downcast] she'd laugh at me. [dons turban]

Genie
[turns turban into a lamp shade]

A woman appreciates a man who can make her laugh! Al, all joking aside, you really oughtta be yourself.

Aladdin

Hey, that's the last thing I want to be. Okay, I'm gonna go see her. I gotta be smooth, cool, confident. How do I look?

Genie
[The Genie regards him a little sadly. Gestures, the turban is restored] [false good humor]

Like a prince.

Aladdin
[Aladdin flies up to the balcony on Carpet. Jasmine is on her bed, sighing. Rajah is by her side] [from a distance]

Princess Jasmine?

Princess Jasmine
[Rajah looks up and growls]

Who's there?

Aladdin

It's me, Prince Ali. Ahem-- [then he jumps to his deep voice] Prince Ali Ababwa.

Princess Jasmine

I do not want to see you.

Aladdin
[Jasmine turns to go inside. He moves after her, so the room light illumines him]

No, no, please, Princess. Give me a chance. [Rajah growls and advances on him]

Princess Jasmine

Just leave me alone.

Aladdin

I'll leave you alone. Down, kitty!

Genie
[Over the edge of the balcony, Carpet is watching with Genie below]

How's our beau doing?

Aladdin
[Carpet cuts his neck with his finger]

Good kitty, take off. Down, kitty. [He takes off his turban to brush Rajah away]

Princess Jasmine
[looks at him thinking she has seen him before]

Wait, wait. Do I know you?

Aladdin
[quickly replaces his turban]

Uh, no, no.

Princess Jasmine

You remind me of someone I met in the marketplace.

Aladdin

The marketplace? [a bee buzzes around his head] I have servants that go to the marketplace for me. Why I even have servants who go to the marketplace for my servants, so it couldn't have been me you met.

Princess Jasmine
[looks disappointed]

No, I guess not.

Genie
[as a bee]

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...

Genie
[as a bee]

Wonderful, glorious, magnificent, punctual!

Aladdin

Punctual!

Princess Jasmine

Punctual?

Genie
[as a bee]

Sorry.

Aladdin

Beautiful.

Genie
[as a bee]

Nice recovery.

Princess Jasmine

Hmm. I'm rich too, you know.

Aladdin

Yeah!

Princess Jasmine

The daughter of a sultan.

Aladdin

I know.

Princess Jasmine

A fine prize for any prince to marry.

Aladdin

Uh, right. Right. A prince like me.

Genie
[as a bee; buzzing in his ear]

Warning! Warning!

Princess Jasmine

Right, a prince like you. And every other stuffed shirt, swaggering peacock I've met!

Genie
[as a bee; rear end on fire, wearing goggles and crashing]

Mayday! Mayday!

Princess Jasmine

Just go jump off a balcony! [turns and walks away]

Aladdin

What?

Genie
[as a bee]

Stop her! Stop her! Do you want me to sting her?

Aladdin
[swats at bee]

Buzz off!

Genie
[as a bee]

Okay, fine. But remember-- bee yourself! [buzzes into his turban]

Aladdin

Yeah, right!

Princess Jasmine

What!?!

Aladdin

Uh, you're right. You aren't just some prize to be won. [looks disappointed] You should be free to make your own choice. [Jasmine and Rajah look at each other in confusion] I'll go now. [steps up on the ledge and drops off]

Princess Jasmine

No.

Aladdin
[pokes his head up from over the edge]

No? What? What?

Princess 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.

Princess 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.

Princess Jasmine

Is it safe?

Aladdin

Sure. Do you trust me?

Princess Jasmine
[looks at him at the saying of that all-important line]

What?

Aladdin
[extends his hand the same as before]

Do you trust me?

Princess Jasmine
[gets a sly grin on her face]

Yes.

Aladdin
[Jasmine takes his hand and hops on Carpet, with the camera zooming into the sky, knocking them both into sitting positions. Brad Kane and Lea Salonga music playing a song A Whole New World. Jasmine looks back and sees Rajah looks up at her questioningly. She gasps as they fly over the palace wall and into the sky] [singing]

I can show you the world / Shining, shimmering, splendid / Tell me, Princess, now when did / You last let your heart decide?| I can open your eyes / Take you wonder by wonder / Over, sideways and under / On a magic carpet ride...| 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.

Princess Jasmine
[singing]

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
[singing]

Now I'm in a whole new world with you.

Princess Jasmine
[singing]

Unbelievable sights / Indescribable feeling / Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling / Through an endless diamond sky...| A whole new world.

Aladdin
[singing]

Don't you dare close your eyes.

Princess Jasmine
[singing]

A hundred thousand things to see.

Aladdin
[singing]

Hold your breath, it gets better.

Princess Jasmine
[singing]

I'm like a shooting star, I've come so far.

Aladdin
[singing]

I can't go back to where I used to be...| A whole new world.

Princess Jasmine
[singing]

Every turn a surprise.

Aladdin
[singing]

With new horizons to pursue.

Princess Jasmine
[singing]

Every moment, red-letter.

Aladdin and Princess Jasmine
[singing]

I'll chase them anywhere, there's time to spare / Let me share this whole new world with you...| A whole new world, a whole new world / That's where we'll be, that's where we'll be.

Aladdin
[singing]

A thrilling chase.

Princess Jasmine
[singing]

A wondrous place.

Aladdin and Princess Jasmine
[singing]

For you and me...| [song fades]

Princess Jasmine
[Carpet hovers along over a lake, and we see the reflection of the moon in the lake. Fireworks burst and before them is the Great Wall of China in Mulan, sitting on a rooftop]

It's all so magical.

Aladdin

Yeah.

Princess Jasmine

It's a shame Abu had to miss this.

Aladdin

Nah, he hates fireworks. He doesn't really like flying either. That is... Oh, no!

Princess Jasmine

You're the boy from the market! I knew it. Why did you lie to me?

Aladdin

Jasmine, I'm so sorry.

Princess Jasmine

Did you think I was stupid?

Aladdin

No.

Princess Jasmine

That I wouldn't figure it out?

Aladdin

No. I mean, I hoped you wouldn't. No, that's not what I meant.

Princess Jasmine

Who are you? Tell me the truth!

Aladdin

The truth?

Aladdin
[Aladdin looks at Carpet on rooftop]

The truth, the truth is, I sometimes dress as a commoner, to escape the pressures of palace life. But I really am a prince!

Princess Jasmine

Why didn't you just tell me?

Aladdin

Well, you know, uh, royalty going out into the city in disguise. It seems a little strange, don't you think?

Princess Jasmine

Not that strange.

Princess Jasmine
[Jasmine flicks up the feather, Carpet puts a tassel under his "chin" and looks mystified. In the palace balcony, where Aladdin and Jasmine return] [Carpet forms a set of steps and she descends. Aladdin descending below the balcony]

Good night, my handsome prince.

Aladdin

Sleep well, Princess. [They slowly lean forward to kiss before Carpet bumps him up and they kiss sooner than expected] 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. [Aladdin looks up at Jasmine's balcony, and suddenly the guards' hand grab him]

Guards

Aha!

Aladdin

Hey! What?! [muffled] Abu? Abu?

Guard

Hold him!

Jafar
[Razoul grabs Aladdin on his feet and his hands. Razoul ties Carpet in a knot and Jafar approaches]

I'm afraid you've worn out your welcome, Prince A-Boo-Boo.

Aladdin
[muffled]

Why, you...

Jafar
[walks away]

Make sure he's never found.
[Razoul hits him in the head, and he falls unconscious. In a cliff, where Razoul laughs 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. You 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. 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, I... [he can't think of how to say it, so they just hug each other] Thanks, Genie.

Genie

Oh, Al. I'm gettin' kind of fond of you, Kid. Not that I want to pick out curtains or anything.

Sultan
[Inside Jasmine's room, Jasmine humming "A Whole New World" and unbraids her hair. The Sultan appears in one of the double doors, hypnotized] [from a distance]

Jasmine!

Princess Jasmine

Oh, Father-- I just had the most wonderful time. I'm so happy.

Sultan
[tranced]

You should be, Jasmine. I have chosen a husband for you.

Princess Jasmine

What?

Sultan
[the other door opens and reveals Jafar]

You will wed Jafar.

Jafar
[Jasmine gasps. Jafar steps forward, the sight of him]

You're speechless, I see. A fine quality in a wife.

Princess Jasmine

I will never marry you. [goes to The Sultan] Father, I choose Prince Ali!

Jafar

Prince Ali left!

Aladdin
[A quick pan finds Aladdin standing in the doorway to the balcony]

Better check your crystal ball again, Jafar!

Princess Jasmine

Prince Ali!

Iago
[Jafar gasps at the sight of Aladdin]

How in the he-- [back to parrot-ese] --uh, awk!

Aladdin

Tell them the truth, Jafar! You tried to have me killed.

Jafar

What? [goes to The Sultan] Ridiculous nonsense, Your Highness. He is obviously lying.

Sultan
[Jafar brings the staff close to The Sultan's face]

Obviously...lying.

Princess Jasmine
[Aladdin sees the staff with its glowing eyes]

Father, what's wrong with you?

Aladdin

I know what's wrong.

Sultan
[Aladdin smashes the head of the staff against the floor, Jafar flinches and the spell is broken for good]

Oh, oh, oh my!

Aladdin

Your Highness, Jafar's been controlling you with this! [he advances the staff]

Sultan

What? Jafar? You, you traitor!

Jafar
[The trio advances on Jafar]

Your Majesty, all of this can be explained.

Sultan

Guards! Guards!

Iago

Well, that's it--we're dead, forget it. Just dig a grave for both of us. We're dead.

Sultan
[But Jafar sees the lamp in Aladdin's pocket. Jafar makes a move, but is arrested by guards]

Arrest Jafar at once.

Jafar
[a hiss]

This is not done yet, boy!

Sultan
[Aladdin leaps at him, but Jafar throws down a smoke pellet. A large red cloud appears. Jafar is gone. Jasmine helps Aladdin up, embraces him]

Find him, search everywhere!

Aladdin

Jasmine, are you all right?

Princess Jasmine

Yes.

Sultan
[They lean in to kiss, but The Sultan barges between them]

Jafar, my most trusted counselor, plotting against me all this time. This is horrible, just horrible. How will I ever--

Sultan
[The Sultan notices Jasmine and Aladdin, and looks at the pair]

Can it be true? My daughter has finally chosen a suitor? [she nods] Ha, ha! Praise Allah! You brilliant boy, I could kiss you! I won't--I'll leave that to my... [Aladdin beams] But you two will be wed at once! Yes, yes. And you'll be happy and prosperous, and then my boy, you will be sultan!

Aladdin
[surprised]

Sultan?

Sultan

Yes, a fine upstanding youth like yourself, a person of your unimpeachable moral character is exactly what this kingdom needs!

Iago
[Aladdin looks concerned at this. Inside Jafar's chambers, Jafar and Iago enter]

We gotta get outta here! We gotta get-- I gotta start packing, Your Highness. Only essentials.

Iago
[Iago starts throwing things out of his cage. Jafar smiles broadly]

We gotta 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.

Iago
[Jafar laughs with insane glee]

Oh, boy. He's cracked. He's gone nuts. [Iago flies down to an oblivious Jafar 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. [loosens his grip] He has the lamp, Iago.

Iago

Why that miserable--

Jafar

But you are going to relieve him of it!

Iago

Me?

Aladdin
[Outside the palace, Aladdin is looking at the gardens] [to himself]

Sultan? You want me to be "sultan"?

Genie
[comes out of his lamp]

Huzzah! Hail the conquerin' hero! [He 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?

Genie
[Aladdin sadly walks to the bed. He goes to him and pulls out a script]

Psst, your line is "I'm going to free the genie." Anytime.

Aladdin

Genie, I can't.

Genie

Sure ya can. You just go, [grabs Aladdin’s head and uses him as a mock ventriloquist's dummy] "Genie, I wish you free."

Aladdin
[pulls him away]

I'm serious! Look, I'm sorry-- I really am. But they wanna make me Sultan-- no, they wanna make Prince Ali sultan. Without you, I'm just Aladdin.

Genie

Al, you've 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? What do you bet Jasmine finds out? I'd lose her. Genie, I-I can't keep this up on my own. I... I can't wish you free.

Genie
[obviously hurt]

Fine. I understand. After all, you've lied to everyone else. Hey, I was just beginning to feel left out. Now, if you'll excuse me, "Master". [vanishes into his lamp]

Aladdin
[picks up his lamp]

Genie, I'm really sorry. [a tongue comes out of the spout and blows raspberry at him, he angrily covers it with a pillow] Well, fine! Then just... stay in there! [sees Abu and Carpet looking at him, bitterly but still angry] What are you guys lookin' at? [Abu and Carpet sadly starts leaving] Look, I... I-I'm sor... Abu, I'm sorry. I didn't... Wait. Come on. [sighs] What am I doing? Genie's right--I gotta tell Jasmine the truth.

Princess Jasmine
[off-screen]

Ali, oh Ali--will you come here?

Aladdin
[putting on his turban]

Well, here goes. [walks into the garden] Jasmine? Where are you?

Iago
[We see Iago wearing a beak and standing in stilts next of a flamingo in the pond. He is imitating Jasmine's voice]

Out in the menagerie, hurry.

Aladdin

I'm coming.

Iago
[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 and sighs]

Ya got a problem, pinky? [he sweeps the bird's legs from under it] Jerk. [Iago rushes into the palace and finds the lamp under the pillow] Boy, Jafar's gonna be happy to see you! Excellent! [stretches his face and imitating Jafar's voice] Excellent work, Iago! [normal voice] Ah, go on. [Jafar's voice] No, really--on a scale of one to ten, you are an eleven! [normal voice] Ah, Jafar--you're too kind. I'm embarrassed, I'm blushing.

Sultan
[Iago flies away with the lamp] [Outside the palace entrance, The Sultan is standing on top, gates open, throngs of people cheering]

People of Agrabah, my daughter has finally chosen a suitor!

Aladdin
[She behind the curtain, where Jasmine is peeking. Aladdin appears at the bottom of the stairs]

Jasmine?

Princess Jasmine

Ali, where have you been?

Aladdin

Jasmine, there's something I've got to tell you.

Princess Jasmine

The whole kingdom has turned out for father's announcement!

Aladdin

No. But Jasmine, listen to me, please! You don't understand...

Princess Jasmine

Good luck!

Sultan
[Jasmine pushes him out onto the platform with The Sultan, the crowd cheers]

...Ali Ababwa!

Aladdin

Oh, boy!

Iago
[Jafar and Iago are watching The Sultan's coronation.]

Look at them, cheering that little pipsqueak.

Jafar

Let them cheer. [rubs the lamp]

Genie
[comes out of the lamp, annoyed]

Ya know, Al, I'm getting really-- [sees Jafar and cringes] I don't think you're him. [reads the script] Tonight, the part of Al will be played by a tall, dark and sinister ugly man.

Jafar
[offended by the last remark, Jafar grabs Genie and pins him under his foot]

I am your master now!

Genie

I was afraid of that.

Jafar

Genie, grant me my first wish! I wish to rule on high AS SULTAN!
[Outside where dark clouds circle the palace like Dark Cloud. The palace earthshakes. The roof rips off and The Sultan and Aladdin duck.

Aladdin

Whoa!

Sultan

Bless my soul. What is this? What's going on? Oh, my goodness, what's happening?

Princess Jasmine
[His turban lifts off his head. When The Sultan grabs it, his whole body flies up, then is stripped of all his clothing except his underwear. The clothes reappears in Jafar]

Father.

Sultan
[Jafar laughs evilly]

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.

Aladdin
[They both look up and see a gigantic Genie lift the palace into the thunder cackling. Aladdin gasps. The Genie destroys the palace. Aladdin whistles and Carpet flies up to greet him. The villagers run and scream. They fly up near the Genie's head]

Genie! No!

Genie

Sorry, kid--I got a new master now.

Sultan
[The Genie places the palace on top of a mountain]

Jafar, I order you to stop!

Jafar

Ah, but there's a new order now--my order! Finally, you will bow to me!

Princess Jasmine
[The Sultan bows, but Jasmine does not]

We'll 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!

Iago
[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]

Ladies and gentlemen, a warm Agrabah welcome for Sorcerer Jafar!

Jafar

Now where were we? Ah, yes--abject humiliation!

Jafar
[Jafar 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
[Jafar zaps Aladdin. Carpet flies away] [singing]

Prince Ali / Yes, it is he / But not as you know him / Read my lips / And come to grips / With reality / Yes, meet a blast from your past / Whose lies were too good to last / Say hello to your precious Prince Ali.

Iago

Or should we say Aladdin?

Princess Jasmine

Ali?

Aladdin

Jasmine, I tried to tell you.

Jafar
[singing]

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 / It's the ends of the earth, whoopee / So long...

Iago

Goodbye, see ya!

Jafar
[singing]

...ex-Prince Ali... [laughs]

Aladdin
[Jafar has zapped Abu back to normal. He sends the two of them into a tall pillar, then launches it like a rocket, but not before Carpet can get in. Fade to black, then open on to a snowy wasteland, where the pillar crashes and rolls. It finally comes to a stop. Aladdin emerges, obviously very cold]

Abu? [echoing] ABUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! [He turns back to the shivering pile of snow] Oh, this is all my fault. I-I should have freed The Genie when I had the chance!

Aladdin
[Aladdin digs out Abu and cradling him inside the vest]

Abu, are you okay?

Abu

Mmm-hmm.

Aladdin

I'm sorry, Abu-- I made a mess of everything, somehow. I gotta go back and set things right.

Aladdin
[Aladdin steps out through the snow, and he eventually steps on a frozen Carpet]

Carpet!

Aladdin
[Aladdin looks up and sees Carpet is pinned by the pillar. Aladdin tugs to try and free Carpet. He can't do it, so he begins to remove snow from the base of the pillar]

Abu, start digging! That's it!

Aladdin
[Finally, enough snow has been removed, and the pillar begins to roll. Aladdin runs away, looks back, then slides into place. The pillar 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 pillar]

Yeah! All right!

Aladdin
[Aladdin looks up at his turban, made out of scared Abu. Carpet shakes off the snow and runs over to pick them up]

Now, back to Agrabah! Let's go!

Iago
[Outside the Agrabah, shrouded in red clouds. Inside the throne room, Iago has The Sultan, dressed in jester's clothes, and Jasmine is chained next to the throne]

Puppet ruler want a cracker? Here's your cracker. Shove 'em all the way down your throat. Here, have lots!

Princess Jasmine
[Jafar pulls the chain, and Jasmine walks up to him holding an apple]

Stop it! Jafar, leave him alone!

Jafar
[Iago stops for a second, then continues]

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...

Princess Jasmine
[Jasmine picks up a glass of wine and throws it in his face]

Never!

Jafar

I'll teach you some respect! [she falls back as he raises his hand to slap her, then he stops] No. Genie, I have decided to make my final wish. I wish for Princess Jasmine to fall desperately in love with me.

Genie
[We see Aladdin race back into town] [again as Buckley]

Ah, master, there are a few addendas, some quid pro quos...

Jafar
[whirls on him]

Don't talk back to me, you big blue lout!

Jafar
[Jasmine looks up and sees Aladdin, peering around a window, Abu and the Carpet at his play along]

You will do what I order you to do, slave!

Princess Jasmine
[stands and puts the crown on her head]

Jafar! I never realized how incredibly handsome you are.

Jafar
[The Genie's jaw drops]

Mmm. That's better. [pulls the Genie's jaw up like a shade] Now, pussycat, tell me more about... myself.

Princess Jasmine

You're tall, dark, well dressed...

Genie
[Jafar walks over to her. Aladdin jumps down with Abu and Genie sees them]

Al! Al, little buddy!

Aladdin

Shh!

Genie
[literally zips his mouth shut, then unzips it]

Al, I can't help you--I work for Señor Psychopath, now. [his head turns into Jafar's, then back] What are you gonna do?

Aladdin

Hey-- I'm a street rat, remember? [he rezips Genie's mouth] I'll improvise.

Princess Jasmine
[Aladdin slides down a pile of coins and hides close to Jafar and Jasmine. Jafar's back is to Aladdin]

Cute little gaps between your teeth.

Jafar

Go on.

Princess Jasmine

And your beard...is so...twisted! You've stolen my heart.

Iago
[Jasmine has handsome arms around him. Jasmine pretends to twist with her finger, but she is actually motioned for Aladdin to come over, he makes his move. Iago sees him]

Jaf--mmmmmm!

Jafar
[Abu grabs him and covers his mouth]

And the Street Rat?

Princess Jasmine

What street rat?

Abu
[When Iago manages to knock over a bowl. Jafar turns to look, but Jasmine grabs him back and kisses him. He looks disgusted. Iago and Abu both look disgusted]

Yecch!

Jafar

That was... [sees Aladdin's reflection in Jasmine's crown] YOU! [He zaps Aladdin just as he is about to reach his respective lamp. Genie watches in shock] How many times do I have to kill you, boy?

Aladdin
[Jasmine rushes him, and he angrily throws her to the ground. Aladdin bravely rushes toward him and heroically grabs his staff]

Get the lamp!

Jafar

No! [Jasmine runs to do so, but Jafar shakes off Aladdin, but evilly zaps her into an hourglass] Ah, ah, ah, Princess. Your time is up!

Aladdin

Jasmine?

Iago
[Sand begins to flow from the top onto her, and she immediately realizes what will happen]

Oh, nice shot, Jaf–

Jafar
[Abu angrily knocks Iago out with the fruit bowl that fell earlier and rushes for the lamp]

Don't toy with me!

Aladdin
[Abu is almost to the lamp, but the blast from Jafar's staff turns him into a toy monkey, with cymbals and a wind-up key]

Abu!

Jafar
[Carpet rushes in and grabs the lamp as he flies side-by-side, but Jafar zaps him as well]

Things are unraveling fast now, boy! [Carpet unravels in midair, ending up as a pile of tangled threads and tassels. The lamp bounces away and lands in front of Aladdin] Get the point? [Aladdin runs for the lamp, but his path is blocked by a ring of large swords sticking in the floor. Aladdin reaches for his lamp, but the opening is too narrow for him to get far enough, and Jafar evilly grabs it] I'm just getting warmed up! [evilly breathes fire around Aladdin, setting the ring on fire. The Street Rat, however, yet stands his ground]

Aladdin

ARE YOU AFRAID TO FIGHT ME YOURSELF, YOU COWARDLY SNAKE?!

Jafar
[emerges through the fire, suddenly getting an idea from Aladdin's statements]

A snake, am I? Perhaps you'd like to see how snake-like I can be!

Genie
[He transformation into a snake, and the ring of fire around Aladdin becomes part of the snake encircling Aladdin. From inside the hourglass, Jasmine watches Jafar's transformation in shock. Meanwhile, Snake Jafar snaps at Aladdin twice, and on the third try, Aladdin swings the sword and hits Jafar. The giant snake yells in pain. Cut to four Genies as cheerleaders wearing "A" sweaters] [in unison]

Rickem, rockem, rackem, rake--stick that sword into that snake!

Jafar
[to Genie angrily]

You stay out of this-s-s-s!

Genie
[The Genies merge back into one and he waves a pennant, not wishing to root for his evil current master] [dryly]

Jafar, Jafar, he's our man--if he can't do it, GREAT!!!

Princess Jasmine
[Meanwhile, Aladdin uses the distraction from his genie to make a break for the hourglass where Jasmine is trapped. However, Jafar sees this and blocks the path. Aladdin is thrown off, and loses his sword. He hears a shout from Jasmine]

Aladdin!
[Aladdin turns to see Jasmine already knee-deep in sand. He bravely jumps on a large gem and heroically slides across the floor, bravely grabbing his sword along the road. He turns a corner, but the pursuing snake cannot, and the front half of Jafar smashes through a wall and hangs outside the palace. Aladdin bravely jumps up on the snake's back and heroically stabs him hard. Jafar shrieks in agony. Cut to Aladdin, who is once again trying to free Jasmine. At this point, she is now neck-deep in sand, and sinking fast]

Aladdin

Jasmine, hang on!

Jafar
[He is about to hit the glass with a piece of wood he caught earlier until Jafar grabs him] [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 road, all the while trying to look innocent]

Jafar

Without the Genie, boy, you're nothing! [Aladdin suddenly glances down at Genie, who shrugs his shoulders, not knowing what to do either]

Aladdin

The Genie? [has an idea] The Genie! THE GENIE HAS MORE POWER THAN YOU'LL EVER HAVE!

Jafar
[shocked]

What?!

Aladdin

HE GAVE YOU YOUR POWER! HE CAN TAKE IT AWAY!

Genie
[concerned]

Al, what are you doing? Why are you bringing me into this?

Aladdin

FACE IT, JAFAR, YOU'RE STILL JUST...SECOND-BEST! [Jafar thinks for a moment, and realizes Aladdin's right. Genie's "phenomenal cosmic powers" far surpass his, meaning that he yet can't call himself the most powerful being as he thought]

Jafar

You're right, his power does exceed my own. But not for long! [Jafar circles around the Genie, aiming to rectify the power discrepancy between him]

Genie
[hesitantly]

The boy's crazy. He's a little punch-drunk. [turns his hand into a cobra puppet and beats himself with it] One too many hits with the snake.

Jafar
[imperatively]

Slave, I make my third wish!! I wish to be an all-powerful Genie! [Aladdin looks down at Genie from Jafar's coils, and Jasmine, who is now almost buried in sand, looks toward her captor as well. Then Genie sighs in defeat, knowing he has no choice but to comply with Jafar's request]

Genie
[reluctantly]

Alright, your wish is my command. Way to go, Al.

Jafar
[Genie zaps Jafar with the last Genie-brand lightning bolt. Jafar's snake form dissipates, freeing Aladdin and he begins his transformation into a Genie. One shies from using the word "orgasmic" in a Disney animated feature script]

Yes! Yes! The power! The absolute power!

Princess Jasmine
[At this point, all that remains of Jasmine before she disappears under the sand is her raised hand. Thankfully, Aladdin runs over and eventually smashes the glass. The sand, along with Jasmine pours out, and she coughs a bit. Jafar rises out of the palace and towards outer space like Star Wars, getting larger as his power grows. Down below, the wind blows fiercely to signal what's to follow] [to Aladdin frightfully]

What have you done?!

Aladdin

Trust me!

Jafar
[Suddenly, a black lamp, similar to that of Genie's, appears at Jafar's base, though he is too busy manipulating the stars and planets like to notice at]

The universe is mine to command, to control!

Aladdin

NOT SO FAST, JAFAR! AREN'T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING?

Jafar
[Jafar looks down at him questioningly, confused as to what the Street Rat is speaking about]

Huh?

Aladdin

YOU WANTED TO BE A GENIE, YOU'VE GOT IT!

Jafar
[shocked]

WHAT?!

Aladdin
[back to normal]

AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH IT!

Jafar
[Aladdin holds up the black lamp, and it begins to suck Jafar in. He tries to escape, but its power is too strong]

NO! NO!!

Iago

I'm gettin' outta here!

Aladdin

Phenomenal cosmic powers!

Jafar

NOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Iago
[Iago tries to fly off, but Jafar grabs him, and he gets sucked in as well]

Come on, you're the genie, I don't want--

Aladdin
[With one final clank, Jafar and Iago are sucked inside his lamp, and that is the last we see of them]

Itty-bitty living space.

Genie
[ruffles Aladdin's hair]

Al, you little genius, you!
[As a result of being trapped in his lamp, all of Jafar's magic undoes itself. First, Abu turns back into a real monkey and Carpet re-ravels himself. Next, Jasmine, The Sultan and Rajah stand together, and the tiger jumps up into The Sultan's arms. Just then, they are all transformed back into their regular clothes, and Rajah, now an adult tiger again, almost crushes him. Eventually, the palace reappears back in the ciy from where it was taken. Aladdin holds Jafar's lamp as he and Iago start arguing]

Jafar

Get your blasted beak out of my face!

Iago

Oh, shut up, you moron!
