Oh, Prince Achmed. You're, you're not leaving so soon, are you?

Sultan
[brandishes the piece of Achmed's clothing]

So, this is why Prince Achmed stormed out!

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 her tiger chuckle and then see the Sultan glaring at them] Ahem...

Sultan

Dearest, you've got to stop rejecting every suitor who comes to call! The law says you -

[choruses with him]

Must be married to a prince...

Sultan

... by your next birthday.

The law is wrong!

Sultan

You've only got 3 more days!

Father! I hate being forced into this. If I do marry...I want it to be for love.

Sultan

Jasmine...it's not only this law...I'm not going to be around forever, and, well, I just want to make sure you're taken care of. Provided for.

Please, try to understand! I've never done a thing on my own. I've never had any real friends. [Rajah looks up, growling] Except you, Rajah. [Rajah lies down again, smiling] I've never even been outside the palace walls.

Sultan

But Jasmine, you're a princess.

Then maybe I don't wanna be a princess any more!

Sultan

Ooooh! [to Rajah] Allah forbid you should have any daughters!
[Rajah grunts confusedly]

Genie, I'm gonna miss you.

Genie
[tearfully]

Me, too, Al. No matter what anybody says... you'll always be a prince to me. [He and Aladdin hug]

Sultan

That's right. You have certainly proven your worth as far as I'm concerned! It's that law that's the problem...

Father...?

Sultan

Well, am I Sultan or am I Sultan? From this day forth, the princess shall marry whoever she deems worthy.

Him! I choose- I choose you, Aladdin.

Heh. Call me "Al."

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.

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.

Awk, wit's-end.

Sultan

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

[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.

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.

It is necessary to find the Princess a suitor.

[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.

The diamond.

Sultan

Here, Jafar, whatever you need will be fine.

[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.

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

Calm yourself, Iago.

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

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

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

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.

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

Sultan

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

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

[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!

[The Sultan runs after her]

If only I had gotten that lamp!

[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...

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

Jafar and Iago

Eeewww!

[has an idea]

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

[looks at Iago in insult]

What?

Okay, you marry the Princess, all right? Then, uh, you become Sultan!

Oh! Marry the shrew? I become Sultan. The idea has merit!

Yes, merit! Yes! And then we drop Papa-in-Law and the little woman off a cliff! [dive bombs into the floor] Kersplat!

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

[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.

Awk! The problem with your daughter!

Sultan

Oh, really?

[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.]

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?

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.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, my lord. [He pulls out the staff and hypnotizes The Sultan with it.]

Sultan

Yes... desperate measures...

You will order the Princess to marry me.

Sultan

I... will order... the Princess... to... [the spell breaks momentarily] ...but you're so old!

[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.

[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.

[extremely dryly]

Ecstatic. I'm afraid, Prince Abooboo...

...Ababwa!

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...

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]

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]

Just where did you say you were from?

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

Try me. [Iago lands on the staff]

Sultan

Look out, Polly!

[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]

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.

I don't trust him, Sire.

Sultan

Nonsense. One thing I pride myself on Jafar, I'm an excellent judge of character.

Oh, excellent judge, yeah, sure... not!!!

Sultan
[Jasmine walks in quietly]

Jasmine will like this one!

And I'm pretty sure I'll like Princess Jasmine!

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?

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!

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]

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

[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.

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?

What?

Genie
[back to normal, points out his words on a blackboard]

Tell her the...TRUTH!!!

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.

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

Princess Jasmine?

[Rajah looks up and growls]

Who's there?

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

I do not want to see you.

[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]

Just leave me alone.

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?

[Carpet cuts his neck with his finger]

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

[looks at him thinking she has seen him before]

Wait, wait. Do I know you?

[quickly replaces his turban]

Uh, no, no.

You remind me of someone I met in the marketplace.

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.

[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!

Um, Princess Jasmine? You're very...

Genie
[as a bee]

Wonderful, glorious, magnificent, punctual!

Punctual!

Punctual?

Genie
[as a bee]

Sorry.

Beautiful.

Genie
[as a bee]

Nice recovery.

Hmm. I'm rich too, you know.

Yeah!

The daughter of a sultan.

I know.

A fine prize for any prince to marry.

Uh, right. Right. A prince like me.

Genie
[as a bee; buzzing in his ear]

Warning! Warning!

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!

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

What?

Genie
[as a bee]

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

[swats at bee]

Buzz off!

Genie
[as a bee]

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

Yeah, right!

What!?!

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]

[pokes his head up from over the edge]

No? What? What?

[now she's amazed]

How-- how are you doing that? [she looks over the edge and sees the Carpet]

It's a magic carpet.

It's lovely. [Carpet takes Jasmine's hand with a tassel]

You, uh, you don't want to go for a ride, do you? We could get out of the palace, see the world.

Is it safe?

Sure. Do you trust me?

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

What?

[extends his hand the same as before]

Do you trust me?

[gets a sly grin on her face]

Yes.

[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.

[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.

[singing]

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

[singing]

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

[singing]

Don't you dare close your eyes.

[singing]

A hundred thousand things to see.

[singing]

Hold your breath, it gets better.

[singing]

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

[singing]

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

[singing]

Every turn a surprise.

[singing]

With new horizons to pursue.

[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.

[singing]

A thrilling chase.

[singing]

A wondrous place.

Aladdin and Princess Jasmine
[singing]

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

[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.

Yeah.

It's a shame Abu had to miss this.

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

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

Jasmine, I'm so sorry.

Did you think I was stupid?

No.

That I wouldn't figure it out?

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

Who are you? Tell me the truth!

The truth?

[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!

Why didn't you just tell me?

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

Not that strange.

[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.

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!

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

Guard

Hold him!

[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.

[muffled]

Why, you...

[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!

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!

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.

What?

Sultan
[the other door opens and reveals Jafar]

You will wed Jafar.

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

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

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

Prince Ali left!

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

Better check your crystal ball again, Jafar!

Prince Ali!

[Jafar gasps at the sight of Aladdin]

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

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

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.

[Aladdin sees the staff with its glowing eyes]

Father, what's wrong with you?

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!

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

Sultan

What? Jafar? You, you traitor!

[The trio advances on Jafar]

Your Majesty, all of this can be explained.

Sultan

Guards! Guards!

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.

[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!

Jasmine, are you all right?

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!

[surprised]

Sultan?

Sultan

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

[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 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.

[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!

Prince Ali is nothing more than that ragged urchin Aladdin. [loosens his grip] He has the lamp, Iago.

Why that miserable--

But you are going to relieve him of it!

Me?

[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.

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."

[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!

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]

[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.

[off-screen]

Ali, oh Ali--will you come here?

[putting on his turban]

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

[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.

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 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!

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

Jasmine?

Ali, where have you been?

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

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

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

Good luck!

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

...Ali Ababwa!

Oh, boy!

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

Look at them, cheering that little pipsqueak.

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.

[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.

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.

Whoa!

Sultan

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

[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.

That's Sultan Vile Betrayer to you.

Oh, yeah? Well, we'll just see about that! [pulls off his own turban, but finds it empty] The lamp!

Finders-keepers, Abooboo.

[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!

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

[The Sultan bows, but Jasmine does not]

We'll never bow to you!

Why am I not surprised?

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]

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

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

[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.

[off-camera]

Jafar! Get your hands off her!

[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.

Or should we say Aladdin?

Jasmine, I tried to tell you.

[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...

Goodbye, see ya!

[singing]

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

[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 digs out Abu and cradling him inside the vest]

Abu, are you okay?

Abu

Mmm-hmm.

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

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

Carpet!

[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!

[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 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!

[Last lines; Jasmine walks over to Aladdin. They hold hands, but both look sad]

Jasmine, I'm sorry I lied to you about being a prince.

I know why you did.

Well, I guess this is goodbye. [Genie pokes his head around the corner shocked at what he is hearing]

Oh, that stupid law. This isn't fair. I love you.

Genie
[wipes away a tear]

Al, no problem. You still got one wish left. Just say the word and you're a prince again.

But 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.

Jasmine, I do love you. But I gotta stop pretending to be something I'm not.

I understand.

[They take one final look into each other's eyes, then Aladdin turns to the Genie]

Genie, I wish for your freedom.

Genie

One prince pedigree coming up. I... What?

[he holds the lamp up to Genie]

Genie, you're free.

Genie
[A transformation scene ensues, in which the shackles fall off Genie's wrists and the lamp falls uselessly to the ground. Genie picks it up and looks at it] [he can't believe it; laughing]

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.

Uh, 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]

Genie, I'm... I'm gonna miss you.

Genie
[smiling, with a tear in his eye]

Me too, Al. No matter what anybody says, you'll always be a prince to me.

Sultan
[They hug. The Sultan steps forward]

That's right. You've certainly proven your worth as far as I'm concerned. It's that law that's the problem.

Father?

Sultan

Well, am I sultan or am I sultan? From this day forth, The Princess shall marry whoever she deems worthy.

[she smiles widely and runs into Aladdin's arms]

Him. I choose... I choose you, Aladdin.

[laughs]

Call me Al.

Genie
[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]

All of you, come over here. Big group hug. Do you mind if I kiss the monkey? [he kisses Abu] Ooh, hairball. Well, I can't do any more damage around this popsicle stand. [takes off] 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-hee!

[The Genie flies up into the blue sky leaving a trail of sparkles behind him. They cut (a jump cut to make matters worse) to fireworks exploding over a nightscape. We tilt down and see Aladdin and Jasmine flying on Carpet] [singing]

A whole new world.

[singing]

A whole new life.

Aladdin and Princess Jasmine
[with off-camera chorus]

For you and me!

Chorus

A whole new world!

Genie
[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]

Made you look.
[Drops the film back to normal, in a normal moon. During the credits, "Friend Like Me" song is instrumental version]
