[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.
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.
[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?
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.
[They take one final look into each other's eyes, then Aladdin turns to the Genie]
Genie, I wish for your freedom.
One prince pedigree coming up. I... What?
[he holds the lamp up to Genie]
Genie, you're free.
[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.
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.
[smiling, with a tear in his eye]
Me too, Al. No matter what anybody says, you'll always be a prince to me.
[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.
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.
[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.
AA Aladdin and Princess Jasmine
[with off-camera chorus]
For you and me!
C 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]
Made you look.
[Drops the film back to normal, in a normal moon. During the credits, "Friend Like Me" song is instrumental version]
[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!
[Jafar pulls the chain, and Jasmine walks up to him holding an apple]
Stop it! Jafar, leave him alone!
[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...
[Jasmine picks up a glass of wine and throws it in his face]
Never!
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.
[We see Aladdin race back into town] [again as Buckley]
Ah, master, there are a few addendas, some quid pro quos...
[whirls on him]
Don't talk back to me, you big blue lout!
[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!
[stands and puts the crown on her head]
Jafar! I never realized how incredibly handsome you are.
[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.
You're tall, dark, well dressed...
[Jafar walks over to her. Aladdin jumps down with Abu and Genie sees them]
Al! Al, little buddy!
[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?
Hey-- I'm a street rat, remember? [he rezips Genie's mouth] I'll improvise.
[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.
And your beard...is so...twisted! You've stolen my heart.
[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!
[Abu grabs him and covers his mouth]
And the Street Rat?
[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!
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?
[Jasmine rushes him, and he angrily throws her to the ground. Aladdin bravely rushes toward him and heroically grabs his staff]
Get the lamp!
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!
[Sand begins to flow from the top onto her, and she immediately realizes what will happen]
Oh, nice shot, Jaf–
[Abu angrily knocks Iago out with the fruit bowl that fell earlier and rushes for the lamp]
Don't toy with me!
[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!
[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]
ARE YOU AFRAID TO FIGHT ME YOURSELF, YOU COWARDLY SNAKE?!
[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!
[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!
[to Genie angrily]
You stay out of this-s-s-s!
[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!!!
[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]
[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?
[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]
Without the Genie, boy, you're nothing! [Aladdin suddenly glances down at Genie, who shrugs his shoulders, not knowing what to do either]
The Genie? [has an idea] The Genie! THE GENIE HAS MORE POWER THAN YOU'LL EVER HAVE!
HE GAVE YOU YOUR POWER! HE CAN TAKE IT AWAY!
[concerned]
Al, what are you doing? Why are you bringing me into this?
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]
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]
[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.
[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]
[reluctantly]
Alright, your wish is my command. Way to go, Al.
[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!
[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?!
[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!
NOT SO FAST, JAFAR! AREN'T YOU FORGETTING SOMETHING?
[Jafar looks down at him questioningly, confused as to what the Street Rat is speaking about]
Huh?
YOU WANTED TO BE A GENIE, YOU'VE GOT IT!
[back to normal]
AND EVERYTHING THAT GOES WITH IT!
[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!!
Phenomenal cosmic powers!
[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--
[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.
[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]
Get your blasted beak out of my face!
Don't tell me to shut up!
Allow me. Ten thousand years in the Cave of Wonders oughtta chill him out. [flicks the lamp explosion into the desert]
[last words]
Shut UP!
[Jafar and Iago continue to argue as they fade out]
[Outside the palace, Aladdin is looking at the gardens] [to himself]
Sultan? You want me to be "sultan"?
[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?
[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.
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.
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.
[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.
[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.
[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...
[Jasmine pushes him out onto the platform with The Sultan, the crowd cheers]
...Ali Ababwa!
[Jafar and Iago are watching The Sultan's coronation.]
Look at them, cheering that little pipsqueak.
Let them cheer. [rubs the lamp]
[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, 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.
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.
[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!
Sorry, kid--I got a new master now.
[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!
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...
[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?
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!
[The next day, on a rooftop, where Aladdin rushes up to the edge, carrying a loaf of bread. He skids to a stop at the edge of the building]
Stop, thief!
[Aladdin looks back at Razoul, a young man head, muscular handsome guard, tan turban, red and white yellow uniform shirt, tan pants and dark yellow shoes, he's the guards scramble toward him] [first words]
I'll have your hands for a trophy, Street Rat.
[looks back, then down, then at the bread]
All this for a loaf of bread?
[Aladdin leaps off the roof, landing on two ropes strung between buildings, with drying clothes on them. He skies down them, collecting bits and pieces of clothing on him as he goes. Finally, he's nearing the end of the rope, at a window, when a woman reaches out and the shutters closed shut. Aladdin slams into the shutters and falls to the street, his fall being broken by numerous awnings and the pile of clothes around him. He pulls off the top layer of clothes and is about to enjoy his bread when]
G2 Guard #2
You won't get away so easy!
You think that was easy? [looks at ladies laughing and looks at Razoul and his guards]
You two, over that way. And you, with me. We found him.
W Woman
Getting into trouble a little early today, aren't we Aladdin?
Trouble? No way, man. You're only in trouble if you get caught...
...and this time. [Abu pulls down his turban]
Perfect timing, Abu. As usual.
Come on, let's get outta here! [singing] Gotta keep one jump ahead of the breadline / One swing ahead of the sword / I steal only what I can't afford...| [speaking] That's everything! [singing] One jump ahead of the lawmen / That's all, and that's no joke / These guys don't appreciate I'm broke.
G2 Guard #2 and #3
Street Rat!
[singing]
Just a little snack, guys.
G Guards
Rip him open, take it back, guys.
[singing]
I can take a hint, gotta face the facts / You're my only friend, Abu.
G Girls
Who?| [singing] Oh, it's sad, Aladdin's hit the bottom / He's become a one-man rise in crime.
PA Portly Agrabah Woman
I'd blame parents, except he hasn't got 'em.
[singing]
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat / Tell you all about it when I got the time / One jump ahead of the slowpokes / One skip ahead of my doom / Next time, gonna use a nom de plume.
[singing]
One jump ahead of the hitmen / One hit ahead of the flock / I think I'll take a stroll around the block.
[A man sleeping on a bed of nails, of course one extremely large guard jumps on him]
Stop, thief!
[singing]
Let's not be too hasty.
FL Fat Lady
Still, I think he's rather tasty.
[singing]
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat / Otherwise, we'd get along.
[The guards chase Aladdin and Abu 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, pulls the sword out of the swallower's mouth]
He's got a sword!
[singing]
One jump ahead of the hoofbeats.
[singing]
One hop ahead of the hump.
[singing]
One trick ahead of disaster.
[singing]
They're quick, but I'm much faster.
[singing]
Here goes, better throw my hand in / Wish me happy landin' / All I gotta do is jump!
G Guards
[The guards fall down and land in a street]
Yuck! Oy!
[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.
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.
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!
JA 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!
[Unrolling a scroll]
Right here. "If the Princess has not chosen a husband by the appointed time, then The sultan shall choose for her."
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.
The royal vizier! Why, that would be...me!
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.]
Yes... desperate measures...
You will order the Princess to marry me.
I... will order... the Princess... to... [the spell breaks momentarily] ...but you're so old!
[Holds the staff closer]
The Princess WILL marry me!
[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!
C Chorus
Make way for Prince Ali / Say hey! It's Prince Ali.
[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!
C Chorus
He's got 75 golden camels.
[as Harry Reasoner]
Don't they look lovely, June?
G Girls
Purple peacocks, he's got 53.
[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.
GA Genie and Chorus and Girls
It's a world-class menagerie.
GA 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.
CA 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.
GA Genie and Chorus and Girls
Prince Ali, amorous he, Ali Ababwa.
[singing]
Heard your princess was a sight lovely to see! / And that, good people, is why / He got dolled up and dropped by.
CA 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]
[clapping]
Splendid, absolutely marvelous.
[clears throat]
Your Majesty, I have journeyed from afar to seek your daughter's hand.
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...
Whatever. You cannot just parade in here uninvited and expect to...
...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.
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]
[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!
[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.
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.
Nonsense. One thing I pride myself on Jafar, I'm an excellent judge of character.
Oh, excellent judge, yeah, sure... not!!!
[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]
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.
