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...
Dearest, you've got to stop rejecting every suitor who comes to call! The law says you -
... by your next birthday.
The law is wrong!
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.
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.
But Jasmine, you're a princess.
Then maybe I don't wanna be a princess any more!
Ooooh! [to Rajah] Allah forbid you should have any daughters!
[Rajah grunts confusedly]
