AladdinEdit
- [chased by Razoul and his guards] All this for a loaf of bread?
- Abu, this is no time to panic! [gasps and sees a cliff] Start panicking!
- Genie, you're free! [using his third wish to free Genie from the lamp]
Princess JasmineEdit
- 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?
- Then maybe I don't wanna be a princess any more!
- Oh, sure. People who tell you where to go and how to dress?
- When I am queen, I will have the power to get rid of you!
- How dare you! All of you! Standing around deciding my future?! I am not a prize to be won!
- Him! I choose- I choose you, Aladdin.
IagoEdit
- I can't believe it! I just don't believe it! We're never gonna get ahold of that stupid lamp! Just forget it! Look at this. Look at this! I'm so ticked off that I'm molting!
GenieEdit
- [after coming out of his lamp] OY! 10,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck! Hang on a second. [hangs Aladdin by the back of his vest on a low-hanging rock while he tends to his torticollis]
- Well, I feel sheepish. All right, you baaaaad boy, but no more freebies.
- It's all part and parcel, the whole genie gig. PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS! Itty, bitty living space.
- [after saving Aladdin from drowning] Al, I'm gettin' kinda fond of you, kid. Not that I want to pick out curtains or anything.
- Jafar, Jafar, he's our man, if he can't do it: GREAT!
- [last lines] Made you look.
JafarEdit
- [having learned from the Cave of Wonders] Yes. Only one may enter. I must find this one. This Diamond in the Rough.
- [after Aladdin has returned] YOU! How many times do I have to kill you, boy?!
Prince AchmedEdit
- You are a worthless street rat. You were born a street rat, you'll die a street rat, and only your fleas will mourn you!
Cave of WondersEdit
- Who disturbs my slumber?
PeddlerEdit
- Ahh! Salaam and good evening to you, worthy friend. Please, please, come closer. [camera hits him in the face] Too close! A little too close. [camera backs up] There. Welcome to Agrabah. City of mystery...of enchantment... [sets up a vendor stall] ...and the finest merchandise this side of the River Jordan! On sale today! Come on down!
- [holding up an oil lamp] Do not be fooled by its commonplace 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 would like to hear the tale? It begins on a dark night, where a dark man waits... with a dark purpose.
FaroukEdit
- She said she knew the sultan!
GazeemEdit
- A thousand apologies, Oh Patient One.
DialogueEdit
- [First lines; The movie begins with a desert, a short peddler rides a camel]
- Peddler: [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 / It's barbaric but hey, it's home / When the wind's from the east / And the sun's from the west / And the sand in the glass is right / Come on down, stop on by, / Hop a carpet and fly / To another Arabian night / Arabian nights / Like Arabian days / More often than not / Are hotter than hot / In a lot of good ways / Arabian nights / 'Neath Arabian moons / A fool off his guard / Could fall and fall hard / Out there on the dunes [speaking] Ah, salaam and good evening to you, worthy friend. Please, please, come closer. [camera hits him in the face] Too close. A little too close. [camera backs up] There. Welcome to Agrabah. City of mystery. Of enchantment. And the finest merchandise this side of the river Jordan. Come on down. Look at this. Combination hookah and coffee maker. Also makes Julienne fries. Will not break. [taps it on table] Will not... [it falls apart] It broke. [holding up a box] Ooh! Look at this. I have never seen one of these intact before. This is the famous Dead Sea Tupperware. Listen. [he lifts the lid of the box a little and blows a clandestine raspberry] Ah, still good. [hurries] Wait, don't go! I can see that you're only interested in the exceptionally rare. I think, then, you would be most rewarded to consider... this. [holding up an oil lamp] Do not be fooled by its commonplace 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 would like to hear the tale? It begins on a dark... night. Where a dark man waits, with a dark purpose.
- [Camera tilts down to find Jafar sitting on his horse and Iago on his shoulder. Gazeem comes riding up to the pair]
- Jafar: You are late.
- Gazeem: A thousand apologies, oh patient one.
- Jafar: You have it, then?
- Gazeem: I had to slit a few throats. But I got it. [Pulls out half of the medallion. Jafar reaches out for it, but Gazeem yanks it back] Ah, ah, ahhh! The treasure. [Iago squawks as he flies by and grabs the medallion] Ow!
- Jafar: Trust me, my pungent friend. You'll get what's coming to you.
- Iago: What's coming to you. Awk!
- [Jafar pulls out the second half of the medallion. He connects them, and the insect medallion begins to glow. Finally, it flies out of Jafar's hand, scaring the horses, and is off towards the dunes]
- Jafar: Quickly! Follow the trail! [On horseback, the trio chase the medallion across the moonlit desert] Faster!
- [The creature splits in two, each half lodging into a sand dune. A towering tiger's head rises from the dune. The pieces of the scarab from it's glowing eyes. The men's horses rear on their hind legs, throwing their riders off. Jafar grins as the tiger head opens it cavernous mouth.]
- Jafar: At last, after all my years of searching. The Cave of Wonders.
- Iago: Awk! Cave of wonders!
- Gazeem: By Allah.
- Jafar: Now, remember. Bring me the lamp! The rest of the treasure is yours, but the lamp is mine.
- [Gazeem starts to approach the lion's mouth, which forms the entrance to the cave. He chuckles as he goes]
- Iago: Awk! The lamp. Awk! The lamp. [Now that Iago and Jafar are alone, Iago opens up in normal English] Jeez, where'd you dig this bozo up?
- Jafar: Shh!
- [Jafar puts his finger to his lips and shushes him. Gazeem reaches the cave, but is blown away by the roar of the cave's speaking]
- Cave of Wonders: Who disturbs my slumber?
- Gazeem: [last words] It is I. Gazeem. A humble thief.
- Cave of Wonders: Know this. Only one may enter here. One whose worth lies far within. The diamond in the rough.
- [Gazeem turns to Jafar with a questioning look]
- Jafar: What are you waiting for? Go on.
- [when Gazeem tries to steal the lamp from the Cave of Wonders, the latter swallows him whole]
- Jafar: No!
- Cave of Wonders: Seek thee out, the diamond in the rough. [fades away]
- Iago: [coughing] I can't believe it. I just don't believe it! We're never going to get ahold 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 an incredi- I think I'm gonna have a heart attack and die from not surprise. What are we going to do? We got a big problem here, a big...
- [Jafar evilly grabs Iago's beak to shut him up]
- Jafar: Yes. Only one may enter. I must find this one, this... diamond in the rough.
- [The next day, in a rooftop, where Aladdin rushes up to the edge, carrying a loaf of bread. He almost drops it over the edge]
- Fazal: [off-screen] Stop, thief!
- Razoul: I'll have your hands for a trophy, street rat.
- Aladdin: [looks back, then down, then at the bread] All this for a loaf of bread?
- [he jumps off, 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 slams the shutters closed. 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]
- Nahbi: [spots Aladdin] There he is.
- Hakim: You won't get away so easy.
- Aladdin: [holds up the bread] You think that was easy?
- [He turns to see a group of women laughing at him]
- Razoul: [to his guards] You two, over that way. And you, follow me. We'll find him.
- [Aladdin walks up to the women, disguised as one of them]
- Aladdin: Morning, ladies.
- Aneesa: Getting into trouble a little early today, aren't we, Aladdin?
- Aladdin: Trouble? No way. You're only in trouble if you get caught.
- Razoul: [angrily grabs Aladdin] GOTCHA!
- Aladdin: I'm in trouble!
- Razoul: And this time.
- [Abu screeching]
- Aladdin: Perfect timing, Abu! As usual!
- Abu: Hello.
- Aladdin: Come on, let's get outta here! [singing] Got to keep one jump ahead of the bread line / One swing ahead of the sword / I steal only what I can't afford / That's everything.
- [Aladdin battles Razoul wielding a sword. He dodges a couple of swings, then pulls down Razoul's pants. Abu raspberries Razoul, then dodges an attack. Razoul swings at Aladdin, but destroys a barrel of fish. As Aladdin runs off, Razoul pulls a fish over his lower body as a pair of pants]
- Aladdin: [singing] One jump ahead of the lawmen / That's all, and that's no joke / These guys don't appreciate I'm broke
- [Aladdin and Abu scamper up a pile of barrels, then kick one down on top of a guard]
- Guards: [one at a time] Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!
- Aladdin: [singing] Just a little snack, guys
- [Aladdin scampers to the top of a platform. The guards shake the platform back and fro trying to knock him off]
- Guards: Rip him open, take it back, guys
- Aladdin: [singing] I can take a hint / Got to face the facts / You're my only friend, Abu
- Harem Girls: Who?
- [Aladdin jumps off the platform to certain death, only to grab Abu's hands like an acrobat. The pair swing into a harem]
- Harem Girls: Oh, it's sad Aladdin's hit the bottom / He's become a one-man rise in crime
- [Abu finds a plate full of fruit and stuffs his mouth full like a chipmunk]
- Bakhtawar: [singing] I'd blame parents, / Except he hasn't got 'em
- Aladdin: [singing] Got to eat to live, got to steal to eat / Tell you all about it when I got time
- [Aladdin and Abu exit. In a muscleman flexing to a crowd. The guards rush past. When Aladdin and Abu behind the muscleman, matching his moves, until they make a mistake and are discovered]
- Aladdin: [singing] One jump ahead of the slowpokes, / One skip ahead of my doom / Next time, going to use a nom de plume
- Razoul: There he is.
- Aladdin: [singing] One jump ahead of the hit men, / One hit ahead of the flock / I think I'll take a stroll around the bloCk
- [A chase sequence, in which Aladdin and Abu, pursued by the guards, race through a flock of sheep, hurdle a man sleeping on a bed of nails (of course one extremely large Fazal lands on him). Abu disguises himself with jewels until a customer discovers him]
- Customer: Stop, thief. Vandal.
- Aladdin: Abu.
- Kerubino: Scandal.
- Aladdin: [singing] Let's not be too hasty
- [Aladdin is surrounded by guards in front of a door. The door opens and a large, Mehrunisa comes out]
- Mehrunisa: [singing] Still I think he's rather tasty
- [Aladdin tumbles away, then puts his arm around Razoul, acting like they're all chums]
- Aladdin: [singing] Got to eat to live, got to steal to eat, / Otherwise we'd get along
- Guards: Wrong
- Razoul: [off-screen] Get him!
- [They all jump into a pile and fight. When they stop, Aladdin and Abu are gone. They are sneaking away in barrels. They run across a flaming pit, followed by guards who hop up and down, screaming in pain as they cross the rocks. Aladdin and Abu pass a sword swallower, then Abu goes back, pulls the sword out of the swallower's mouth. Abu advances on the guards, who retreat in fear]
- Hakim: He's got a sword.
- Razoul: You idiots. We've all got swords.
- [Abu sets the sword down gently, then runs. Aladdin and Abu are once again surrounded, with guards coming from left and right. He jumps up and climbs a robe trick being done on the street, as the guards all crash into each other]
- Aladdin: [singing] One jump ahead of the hoof beats
- Guards: Vandal!
- Aladdin: [singing] One hop ahead of the hump
- Guards: Street rat!
- Aladdin: [singing] One trick ahead of disaster,
- Guards: Scoundrel!
- Aladdin: [singing] They're quick but I'm much faster
- [The guards chase Aladdin up a staircase into a room. He grabs a carpet and jumps out the window]
- Aladdin: [singing] Here goes, better throw my hand in, / Wish me happy landing / All I got to do is jump!
- [The guards follow him out the window, but they go straight down to the street, and land in a pile with the sign "Crazy Hakim's Discount Fertilizer"]
- Guards: Yuck! Oy!
- [Aladdin uses the carpet as a parachute to land safely and out of danger. Aladdin and Abu high-five each other]
- Aladdin: And now, esteemed effendi, we feast. All right.
- Abu: Yum, yum!
- [Aladdin breaks the bread in two and gives half to Abu, who begins to eat. But Aladdin looks over and sees two young children rummaging through the garbage for food. The girl sees him, then drops her find and tries to hide. Aladdin looks at them, then the bread, then at Abu]
- Abu: Uh-oh!
- [Abu angrily takes a big bite of his food, but Aladdin gets up and walks over to the children. The girl pulls her brother back]
- Aladdin: Here. Go on, take it.
- [The children giggle with delight. Abu tries to swallow his bite, then looks guilty. He walks over to the children and offers his bread to them. In delight, they pet him on the head]
- Abu: Ah, don't. Huh?
- [Abu sees Aladdin walking into the daylight, where there is a parade going on. Aladdin peers over the shoulders of people. He sees Prince Achmed riding on Emir]
- Villager #1: On his way to the palace, I suppose.
- Villager #2: Another suitor for the princess.
- [Aladdin is startled as the two children come running out from the alley. The boy runs out in front of Achmed's horse, startling it]
- Prince Achmed: Out of my way, you filthy brats.
- [Achmed angrily brings up his whip to attack the children, but Aladdin jumps in front of them and catches the whip]
- Aladdin: Hey! If I were as rich as you, I could afford some manners.
- Prince Achmed: Oh, I'll teach you some manners.
- [Achmed violently kicks Aladdin into a mud puddle. The crowd laugh at him]
- Aladdin: Look at that, Abu. It's not every day you see a horse with two rear ends.
- [Achmed furiously stops and angrily turns back to Aladdin]
- Prince Achmed: You are a worthless street rat. You were born a street rat, you'll die a street rat and only your fleas will mourn you.
- [Aladdin angrily rushes Achmed, but the doors to the castle slam shut in his face]
- Aladdin: I'm not worthless. And I don't have fleas. Come on, Abu. Let's go home.
- [Aladdin sadly makes the climb to his home with the view, then tucks in Abu for the night]
- Aladdin: [singing] Riffraff, street rat / I don't buy that / If only they'd look closer / Would they see a poor boy? / No siree / They'd find out / There's so much more to me
- [He pulls back a curtain to reveal the beautiful palace]
- Aladdin: Some day, Abu, things are going to change. We'll be rich, live in a palace and never have any problems at all.
- [The camera zooms in a next morning, the Sultan's palace]
- [Prince Achmed angrily comes storming in from the palace gardens after being rejected by Princess Jasmine]
- Prince Achmed: I've never been so insulted.
- Sultan: Oh, Prince Achmed. You're, you're not leaving so soon, are you?
- Prince Achmed: [angrily walks away, pants at the butt area are ripped off, revealing spotted underwear] Good luck marrying her off.
- Sultan: Oh, Jasmine. Jasmine. Jasmine. [The Sultan angrily goes off into the garden looking for his daughter. He finds her, but is interrupted by Rajah, Jasmine's pet tiger, who blocks him off. Rajah has a piece of Achmed's undershorts in his mouth. The Sultan grabs the cloth and yanks it out of Rajah's mouth] Confound it, Rajah. [angrily brandishes the piece of Achmed's clothing] So this is why Prince Achmed stormed out.
- Princess Jasmine: Oh, Father. Rajah was just playing with him. Weren't you, Rajah? You were just playing with that overdressed, self-absorbed Prince Achmed, weren't you? [she and 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 -
- Princess Jasmine: [choruses with him] Must be married to a prince...
- Sultan: ...by your next birthday.
- Princess Jasmine: The law is wrong!
- Sultan: You've only got 3 more days!
- Princess Jasmine: 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.
- Princess Jasmine: 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.
- Princess Jasmine: Then maybe I don't wanna be a princess any more!
- Sultan: Ooooh! [to Rajah angrily] Allah forbid you should have any daughters!
- [Rajah grunts confusedly]
- Sultan: I don't know where she gets it from. Her mother wasn't nearly so picky. [a shadow falls over him. He looks up startled and sees Jafar] Jafar, my most trusted advisor. I am in desperate need of your wisdom.
- Jafar: My life is but to serve you, my lord. [he bows]
- Sultan: It's this suitor business. Jasmine refuses to choose a husband. I'm at my wits' end.
- Iago: [in the parrot voice] Awk! Wits' end.
- Sultan: Oh, ha ha. Have a cracker, pretty Polly. [he 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]
- Jafar: Your Majesty certainly has a way with dumb animals. [Iago furiously glares at him] Now, then. Perhaps I can divine a solution to this thorny problem.
- Sultan: If anyone can help, it's you.
- Jafar: Ah, but it would require the use of the mystic blue diamond.
- Sultan: Uh, my ring? But it's been in the family for years.
- Jafar: It is necessary to find a suitor. [he says the word 'princess' with the accent on the second syllable, "cess." He evilly 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.
- [The Sultan removes his ring and hands it to Jafar. The room returns to normal as Jafar evilly pulls back the staff]
- Jafar: You are most gracious, my liege. Now run along and play with your little toys.
- Sultan: [still hypnotized] Yes. That will be pretty good.
- [Jafar and Iago exit. We follow them. When they're out of the room, the parrot angrily spits out the cracker]
- Iago: I can't take it anymore. If I gotta choke down on one more of those moldy, disgusting crackers...bam! Whack!
- [Jafar evilly pulls a rope, which reveals a hidden entrance to his chambers]
- Jafar: Calm yourself, Iago.
- Iago: Then I'd grab him around the head. Whack! Whack!
- Jafar: [speaking over Iago] Soon I will be sultan, not that addle-pated twit.
- Iago: And then l stuff the crackers down his throat. Ha, ha!
- [The pair pass through a door and slam it shut]
- [In the gardens at midnight. A shadowy figure walks through. We see it is Jasmine in disguise. She reaches the palace wall, then begins to climb it. She is tugged from behind by Rajah]
- Princess Jasmine: Oh, I'm sorry, Rajah. But I can't stay here and have my life lived for me. I'll miss you. [She begins to climb again, and is helped up by Rajah, who begins to whine and whimper] Goodbye.
- [She disappears over the wall]
- [The next morning, in a marketplace, Aladdin and Abu are up to their capers again. They are on top of the awning of a fruit stand]
- Aladdin: Okay, Abu. Go.
- [Abu dips over the edge and looks at Omar]
- Omar: [to passing crowd] Try this. Your taste buds will dance and sing. [Abu foolishly grabs a melon and hangs there, distracting his attention] Hey, get your paws off that.
- Abu: Blah, blah, blah!
- Omar: Why, you... Get away from here, you cursed, filthy ape.
- [He angrily grabs the melon away from Abu. But in the foreground, Aladdin dips down and snatches another melon from the stand]
- Abu: Bye-bye.
- [He zings back up. Omar takes the melon to the front, where he places it on top of a stack. He looks confused, like he has just done this]
- Aladdin: Nice going Abu. Breakfast is served.
- [Aladdin and Abu on the roof break open the melon and eat. We see Jasmine walking through the street]
- Abdul: Pretty lady, buy a pot. No finer pot in brass or silver.
- Daoud Sahadi: Sugar dates. Sugar dates and figs. Sugar dates and pistachios.
- Amail: Would the lady like a necklace? A pretty necklace for a pretty lady.
- [She is charmed by the action, but is startled by a fish thrust into her face]
- Basim: Fresh fish. We catch 'em, you buy them.
- Princess Jasmine: No. I don't think so. [she backs away, but accidentally bumps into Al-Hakeem, who is startled into swallowing his fire] Oh, excuse me. [he gulps, then belches fire from his mouth. Jasmine is disgusted. He is pleased and taps his stomach. Aladdin sees her, and a strange look comes over his face] I'm really very sorry.
- Aladdin: [he's obviously deeply in love with her] Wow!
- [She pulls the hood of her cloak over her head. Abu sees him and jumps up on his shoulder, waving his hand in front of Aladdin's face]
- Abu: Uh-oh. Hello? Hello?
- [Jasmine stops at the fruit stand and sees a young homeless child reaching for a piece of fruit. She picks one up and gently gives it to him]
- Princess Jasmine: You must be hungry. Here you go. [the boy runs off]
- Farouk: You'd better be able to pay for that.
- Princess Jasmine: [mystified] Pay?
- Farouk: No one steals from my cart.
- Princess Jasmine: I'm sorry, sir. I don't have any money.
- Farouk: Thief!
- Princess Jasmine: Please. If you let me go to the palace, I can get some from the sultan.
- Farouk: Do you know what the penalty is for stealing?
- [He furiously takes her hand and angrily pins it down on the table, intending to chop it off]
- Princess Jasmine: No, please.
- [The sword drops, but his hand is stopped by Aladdin's]
- Aladdin: Thank you, kind sir. I'm so glad you found her. I've been looking for you.
- Princess Jasmine: [whispering] What are you doing?
- Aladdin: [whispering back] Just play along.
- Farouk: You know this girl?
- Princess Jasmine: Sadly, yes. She is my sister. She's a little crazy. [he circles his finger around his ear. She is shocked. Farouk angrily grabs him by the vest]
- Farouk: She said she knew the sultan.
- Aladdin: She thinks the monkey is the sultan.
- [Abu is picking a pocket. He hears this, then straightens up. Jasmine, playing along, kneels and bows to Abu]
- Princess Jasmine: O wise Sultan, how may I serve you?
- Abu: Well, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- Aladdin: Tragic, isn't it? [he leans forward, picking up another apple from the cart with his foot] But no harm done. [walks over to Jasmine] Now, come along, sis. Time to go see the doctor.
- Princess Jasmine: [to a camel standing nearby] Oh, hello, doctor. How are you?
- Aladdin: No, not that one. [to Abu, whose pockets are bulging] Come on, Sultan.
- [Abu bows to the crowd and everything he's stolen from the cart falls out]
- Farouk: Huh? What is it? [Abu picks up what he can carry, and the trio run off] Come back here, you little thieves.
- [Inside Jafar's lab. Iago is running on a gear in a bizarre contraption. At the top of the contraption is a storm brewing]
- Iago: [huffing and puffing] With all due respect, your rottenness, couldn't we just wait for a real storm?
- Jafar: Save your breath, Iago. Faster. [He evilly places the Sultan's ring in the contraption]
- Iago: Yes, O Mighty Evil One.
- [Iago runs faster. A lightning bolt streaks through the ring, passing into an hourglass below. The sands begin to swirl]
- Jafar: Part, sands of time. Reveal to me the one who can 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? [Iago loses his footing and is sucked into the gears]
- Jafar: Let's have the guards extend him an invitation to the palace. Shall we?
- [Iago goes flying past and slams into the wall upside down]
- Iago: Swell.
- [Jafar laughs hideously, and the camera zooms in on the sandstorm with Aladdin in it]
- [Finally, in the real Aladdin climbing to the top of the ladder, followed by Jasmine]
- Aladdin: Almost there.
- [Jasmine climbs over the top, but trips and falls into Aladdin's arms. She stands up]
- Princess Jasmine: I want to thank you for stopping that man.
- Aladdin: Uh, forget it. [he grabs a pole] So, uh, this is your first time in the marketplace, huh?
- [Aladdin pole vaults to the next building, leaving Jasmine behind]
- Princess Jasmine: Is it that obvious?
- Aladdin: Well, you do kind of stand out. [he stares at her, still in love. She returns the look. But he realizes what he is doing, and returns to normal] I mean, you don't seem to know how dangerous Agrabah can be. [he lays a plank between the buildings for her to walk over, but as he is leaned down, she vaults over his head. He looks back in surprise. She tosses the pole to him. Both Aladdin's and Abu's eyes bulge]
- Princess Jasmine: Hmm. I'm a fast learner.
- Abu: Wow.
- Aladdin: Hey. Come on. This way. [they go inside the roof of a building, dodging planks and beams as they go] Whoa. Watch your head there. Be careful.
- Princess Jasmine: Is this where you live?
- Aladdin: Yep. Just me and Abu. Come and go as we please.
- Princess Jasmine: That sounds fabulous.
- Aladdin: Well, it's not much. [he pulls back the curtain and exposes the palace] But it's got a great view. Wow. The palace looks pretty amazing, huh?
- Princess Jasmine: Oh, it's wonderful.
- Aladdin: I wonder what it'd be like to live there. And have servants and valets.
- Princess Jasmine: Oh, sure. People who tell you where to go and how to dress.
- Aladdin: It's better than here. You're always scraping for food and ducking the guards.
- Princess Jasmine: You're not free to make your own choices.
- Aladdin: Sometimes you feel so...
- Princess Jasmine: You're just...
- Aladdin and Princess Jasmine: ...trapped.
- [They look at each other, realizing that they're perfect for one another. But Aladdin then realizes where he is, and breaks the look. He takes the apple out of Abu's hand and rolls it down his arm into the hand of Jasmine]
- Aladdin: So where are you from?
- Princess Jasmine: What does it matter? I ran away and I am not going back.
- Aladdin: Really? How come? [he takes a bite from the apple in his hand, then hands it to Abu, who has a disgusted look on his face]
- Abu: Why, you...
- [Aladdin walks over and sits next to Jasmine]
- Princess Jasmine: My father's forcing me to get married.
- Aladdin: That's, that's awful. [Abu appears from behind the princess and tries to steal the apple] Abu!
- [Abu races up to a higher point, chattering and cursing as he goes]
- Princess Jasmine: What?
- Aladdin: Abu says, uh... that's not fair.
- Abu: What?
- Princess Jasmine: Oh, did he?
- Aladdin: Yeah. Of course.
- Princess Jasmine: And does Abu have anything else to say?
- Aladdin: He wishes there was something he could do to help.
- Abu: Oh, boy.
- Princess Jasmine: Hmm. Tell him that's very sweet.
- [Aladdin and Jasmine have been getting closer and closer, until Aladdin leans in to kiss her. He is interrupted, however, by the guards, who have found them]
- Fazal: Here you are.
- Aladdin and Princess Jasmine: They're after me. [to each other] They're after you?
- Princess Jasmine: My father must have sent them...
- Aladdin: Do you trust me?
- Princess Jasmine: What?
- Aladdin: Do you trust me? [he extends his hand]
- Princess Jasmine: Yes. [she takes it]
- Aladdin: Then jump!
- [They both jump off the roof, fall and land in a pile of salt. They try to get away, but the exit is blocked by Razoul]
- Razoul: We just keep running into each other, don't we, street rat?
- Aladdin: Run. Go, get out of here.
- Scrawny Guard: [from a distance] Get this thing off of me!
- [Again, Razoul's turban is pulled down by Abu, but more guards are here and block the exit. Razoul pulls Abu off his head and throws him in a vase. Fazal, Nahbi, Hakim and the guards grab Aladdin]
- Razoul: It's the dungeon for you, boy.
- Aladdin: Hey, get off of me.
- Princess Jasmine: Let him go.
- Razoul: [not realizing she is the princess] Looky here, men. A street mouse. [he throws her down]
- Princess Jasmine: [standing up and pulling off the hood of her cloak] Unhand him. By order of the princess.
- [The guards suddenly stop and bow, forcing Aladdin to bow as well]
- Razoul: Princess Jasmine.
- Aladdin: The princess?
- Abu: [peeking out from the vase] The princess?
- Razoul: What are you doing here? And with this street rat?
- Princess Jasmine: That's not your concern. Do as I command. Release him.
- Razoul: I would, Princess. Except my orders come from Jafar. You'll have to take it up with him.
- [The guards drag Aladdin out, bowing as they go]
- Princess Jasmine: [getting a very pissed-off look] Believe me, I will.
- [Inside the palace, Jafar emerging from his secret chambers. He slides the door shut carefully, but the princess comes storming in before he is finished. He slams it shut, pinning Iago inside the door frame]
- Princess Jasmine: Jafar?
- Jafar: Oh, princess.
- Iago: Awk! Jafar, I'm stuck.
- Jafar: How may I be of service to you? [he spreads out his cape, hiding the door]
- Princess Jasmine: The guards took a boy from the market. On your orders.
- Jafar: Your father has charged me with keeping peace in Agrabah.
- [Inside the dungeon. Rats scurry by, and we descend until we see Aladdin chained to the wall]
- Aladdin: [to himself] She was the princess. I can't believe it. I must have sounded so stupid to her.
- Abu: [from a distance] Yay-hoo! Aladdin? Hello!
- [Abu appears at the window at the top of the dungeon]
- Aladdin: Abu, down here. Hey, come on, help me out of these.
- [Abu stops, then begins chattering wildly, dropping to the ground. He wraps a cloth around his head and makes his eyes big in an imitation of the princess]
- Aladdin: Hey, she was in trouble. Ah, she was worth it.
- [Abu jumps up on Aladdin's shoulders and pulls a small set of tools out of his pocket, then frees Aladdin]
- Abu: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Aladdin: Don't worry, Abu, I'll never see her again. I'm a street rat, remember, and there's a law. She's got to marry a prince. She deserves a prince.
- [Abu finally frees Aladdin's hands]
- Abu: Ta-da!
- Aladdin: [rubbing his wrists] I'm a... I'm a fool.
- Jafar: [off-screen] You're only a fool if you give up, boy.
- [We see Jafar; in the old man disguise sitting in the corner that neither Aladdin nor Abu have seen before]
- Aladdin: 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. A cave of wonders, filled with treasures beyond your wildest dreams.
- Abu: Ooh!
- Jafar: Treasure enough to impress even your princess, I'd wager.
- [Listeners will note that Jafar pronounced the word 'princess' as "prin-CESS" rather than the standard pronunciation of "PRIN-cess." Jafar turns his back, and Iago sticks his head out of Jafar's "old man" disguise]
- Iago: Jafar, can you hurry up? I'm dying in here.
- Aladdin: But the law says that only a prince can...
- Jafar: Haven't you heard of the golden rule, haven't you? Whoever has the gold makes the rules. [he grins, showing a hideously bad mouth]
- Aladdin: So why would you share this 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 walks to a wall and pushes open a hidden exit]
- Jafar: Uh-uh. Things aren't always what they seem. So. Do we have a deal?
- [Aladdin looks at Abu, who shrugs his shoulders]
- Abu: Oh, I don't know.
- [In the desert scene, we see Aladdin leading a horse with Jafar and Abu on it, in the Cave of Wonders location]
- Cave of Wonders: Who disturbs my slumber?
- Aladdin: It is I. Aladdin.
- Cave of Wonders: Proceed. Touch nothing but the lamp.
- [The cave opens up with a roar, and a staircase appears in front of Aladdin]
- Jafar: Remember, boy. First fetch me the lamp. And then you shall have your reward.
- Aladdin: Come on, Abu. [to Abu hiding under the shoulder of his vest]
- [Aladdin begins to descend the staircase. He reaches the bottom and enters a golden chamber filled with treasure]
- Aladdin: Would you look at that!
- Abu: Uh-oh!
- Aladdin: Just a handful of this stuff would make me richer than the sultan.
- [Abu peeks out, sees the treasure, then foolishly bolts for it]
- Aladdin: Abu!
- [Abu stops in mid run, hovering over a rug on the floor]
- Aladdin: Don't touch anything. We got to find that lamp.
- [They begin to make their way through the room when the Carpet rises off the floor and begins following them. Abu gets the feeling they're being followed]
- Abu: Huh?
- [He turns, and the Carpet lies flat on the floor. He continues, and the Carpet begins to follow again. Again, Abu turns back, but the Carpet is rolled up and leaning against a pile of treasure. Abu runs to Aladdin and tugs his pant leg]
- Abu: Aladdin! Aladdin!
- Aladdin: Will you knock it off?
- [Again the Carpet follows, but this time, when Abu turns, the carpet jumps to the other side. It reaches down with a tassel and pulls Abu's tail. When Abu jumps around, Carpet again goes to the other side. This time, Abu lands in a karate stance. Carpet reaches down and plucks Abu's hat off, then puts it on himself. Abu sits thinking for a second, until Carpet waves a tassel in front of his face. Abu and Carpet both jump scared, and run away. Abu tackles Aladdin and turns his head to look at the Carpet]
- Aladdin: Abu, what are you, crazy?
- [The Carpet peeks out from behind a pile of treasure]
- Aladdin: A magic carpet. Come on. Come on out. We're not going to hurt you.
- [They pass through a long cave, until they emerge in a giant underground cavern. In the center of the room is a tall pillar, with a staircase going up to it. It is surrounded by water with unevenly placed stones forming a bridge. At the top of the pillar is a beam of light. Aladdin begins to cross the bridge]
- Aladdin: Wait here.
- Abu: Oh, huh?
- [Abu sees a shrine with a golden monkey. The outstretched paws hold a giant ruby. Abu is hypnotically drawn to it. Aladdin climbs the stairs quickly. Carpet sees Abu and grabs his tail trying in vain to hold him back. Aladdin finally reaches the magic lamp]
- Aladdin: This is it? This is what we came all the way down here to... [he looks down and sees Abu break free of Carpet's hold and lunge toward the jewel] Abu! No!
- [Abu foolishly grabs the jewel. There is a rumbling and the room begins to shake]
- Cave of Wonders: [echoes through the chamber] Infidels.
- Abu: Uh-oh!
- Cave of Wonders: You have touched the forbidden treasure. [Abu places the jewel back into the paw, but the jewel and the shrine melt into lava] Now you will never again see the light of day.
- [Aladdin races down the steps, but they flatten into a ramp, and he skies down until he flies into the air. The water has turned into lava. He is falling toward it, when all of a sudden Carpet appears and catches him. Abu is standing on one of the rocks of the bridge. He looks left and right and sees rocks exploding into lava like Raiders of the Lost Ark. Then Carpet races over and Aladdin grabs him, just as the last rock is exploding]
- Aladdin: Carpet, let's move.
- [Together, they race back through the caves dodging walls and falling debris. Abu grabs Aladdin's head and covers his eyes]
- Aladdin: Abu, this is no time to panic. [he pulls Abu off his head and sees they are flying into a wall] Start panicking. Whoa!
- [Carpet goes into a dive, then through another cave. Finally, they emerge through the internal entrance. Outside, the cave begins to growl and close. Carpet and company are almost to the top when a boulder drops on carpet, sending it to the floor. Aladdin grabs onto the rock wall and holds on. He sees Jafar at the top, within reach]
- Aladdin: Help me up.
- Jafar: Throw me the lamp.
- Aladdin: I can't hold on. Give me your hand.
- Jafar: First give me the lamp.
- [Aladdin reaches in and pulls out the magic lamp. He hands it up, and Jafar raises it above his head]
- Jafar: [laughing] Yes! At last. [laughing]
- [Aladdin has climbed out with the assistance of Abu. But Jafar angrily kicks aside Abu and evilly grabs Aladdin's wrist]
- Aladdin: What are you doing?
- Jafar: Giving you your reward. [he returns to his normal voice] Your eternal reward.
- [He pulls out a crooked dagger and is about to stab Aladdin, when Abu angrily bites him on the wrist. He painfully screams, but lets go of Aladdin, who falls into the cave. Jafar throws Abu into the cave as well. They fall. Carpet sees this, but is pinned under a boulder. It struggles to break free, then does. It races up and catches Aladdin, but he has already hit the wall several times, and is unconscious. On the surface, the cave roars one final time, then sinks back into the sand. Jafar pulls off his disguise]
- Jafar: [laughing] It's mine. It's all mine. I... [he can't find it in his pocket] Where is it? No. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
- [Meanwhile, in Sultan's chamber. She is sitting on her bed, next to Rajah who looks sad. The Sultan walks in]
- Sultan: Jasmine? Oh, dearest. What's wrong?
- Princess Jasmine: Jafar, has, done something, terrible. [she looks as if she's been crying]
- Sultan: There there, my dear. We'll set it right. Now, tell me everything.
- [Inside the cave, Aladdin lies unconscious on the Carpet. Abu tries to wake him]
- Abu: Oh, oh. Aladdin. Wake up. Aladdin.
- [Carpet rises up, lifting Aladdin up. He awakes slowly]
- Aladdin: Oh, my head. [he looks at the entrance sealed in] We're trapped. [angry, furiously shaking his fists at the entrance] That two-faced son of a jackal. [calmer] Well, whoever he was, he's long gone with that lamp.
- Abu: Aha!
- [Abu pulls out the magic lamp]
- Aladdin: Why, you hairy little thief. It looks like such a beat-up, worthless piece of junk. I think there's something written here, but it's hard to make out.
- [He rubs the lamp. Suddenly smoke comes out of the hole, the lamp begins to shake and glow, but Aladdin holds onto the lamp, and our wonderful friend, the Genie comes out, in hyper Robin Williams type]
- Genie: Aaaaaaahhhhhh! Oy! Ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck. Hang on a second. [he hangs Aladdin on a nearby rock. Then he pulls his head off and spins it around, yelling as he does so. Carpet pulls a Aladdin down] Whoa! Wow, does it feel good to be out of there. [he uses the lamp end of himself as a microphone] Nice to be back, ladies and gentlemen. Where are you from? [sticks the microphone in Aladdin's face] What's your name?
- Aladdin: Uh, Al, uh, Aladdin.
- Genie: [says his name as if he's discovered something major] Aladdin! [a neon sign lights up with Aladdin's name on it, circled by chase lights. The sign changes to reflect the Genie's upcoming line] Hello, Aladdin. Nice to have you on the show. Can we call you Al? Or maybe just Din? How about Laddie? [Genie disappears, then a dog wrapped in plaid jumps in] Sounds like "Here, boy." Come on, Laddie.
- Aladdin: [shaking his head] I must've hit my head harder than I thought.
- Genie: [still a dog] Do you smoke? Mind if I do? [dog poofs into smoke, then back to the Genie. Abu screeches wildly] Oh, sorry, Cheetah, I hope I didn't singe the fur. Yo, Rugman, haven't seen you in a few millennia. Give me some tassel. Yeah. Yo, yo. [Carpet flies over and high fives the Genie. Genie looks at Aladdin] So, you're a lot smaller than my last master. [lifts his beer-gut] Either that or I'm getting bigger. Look at me from the side. Do I look different to you?
- Aladdin: Wait a minute. I'm your master?
- Genie: [slaps a diploma in Aladdin's hand and a mortarboard on his head] That's right. He can be taught. What would you wish of me? [as Arnold Schwarzenegger] The ever-impressive, [inside a cube] the long-contained, [as a ventriloquist with a dummy] often imitated, [tosses the dummy aside] but never duplicated...
- [Abu turns his hat over and sees that is is empty]
- Genie: So what'll it be, Master?
- Aladdin: You're gonna grant me any three wishes I want, right?
- Genie: [as William F. Buckley] Ah, almost. There are a few provisos, a couple of quid pro quos.
- Aladdin: Like?
- Genie: Ah, rule number one. I can't kill anybody. [he comically slices his head off with his finger] So don't ask. Rule two. I can't make anybody fall in love with anybody else. [head turns into a big pair of lips which kiss Aladdin] You little punim there. [lies flat, then gets up and transforms into a zombie] Rule number three. I can't bring people back from the dead. It's not a pretty picture. [he furiously grabs Aladdin and shakes him] I don't like doing it. [he poofs back to normal] Other than that, you got it.
- Aladdin: [looks at Abu as if plotting] Ah, provisos? You mean limitations? On wishes? [to Abu] Some all-powerful genie! Can't even bring people back from the dead. I don't know. He probably can't even get us out of this cave. Looks like we'll have to find a way out.
- [They start to leave, but a big blue foot stomps down in front of them]
- Genie: Excuse me. Are you looking at me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here? And you're walking out on me? [gets madder and madder] I don't think so. Not right now. You're getting your wishes, so sit down. [they all get on Carpet. Genie takes the form of a stewardess, with lots of arms pointing out the exits] In case of emergency, the exits are here. Anywhere. Keep your hands and arms inside the carpet. We're... out of here.
- [The Carpet and passengers fly out of the sand in the desert and off into the distance]
- [Inside Sultan's chamber. Jafar is there with Iago, Jasmine and the Sultan]
- 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. [he takes her hand to kiss it, but she yanks it away]
- [In the desert, where the Carpet is coming in for a landing]
- Genie: [still as stewardes] Thank you for choosing Magic Carpet for all your travel needs. Don't stand until the rug has come to a complete stop. [as Aladdin and Abu get off down the stairway formed by Carpet] Thank you. Goodbye, now. Goodbye, thank you. [back to normal] Well, how about that, Mr. Doubting Mustafa?
- Aladdin: Oh, you sure showed me. Now about my three wishes...
- Genie: Dost mine ears deceive me? Three? You are down by one, boy.
- Aladdin: Ah, no, I never actually wished to get out of the cave. You did that on your own.
- [Genie and Carpet are playing Chess]
- Genie: So move!
- [Carpet takes his queen and knocks Genie's off the board]
- Genie: Hey! That's a good move. [imitates Rodney Dangerfield] I can't believe it! I'm losing to a rug!
- [Aladdin flies up to the balcony on Carpet. Jasmine is on her bed, sighing. Rajah is by her side]
- Aladdin: [from a distance] Princess Jasmine?
- [Rajah looks up and ferociously growls]
- Princess Jasmine: 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: No, no, please, Princess. Give me a chance. [Rajah ferociously growls and advances on him]
- Princess Jasmine: Just leave me alone.
- Aladdin: Down, kitty.
- [Over the edge of the balcony, Carpet is watching with Genie below]
- Genie: So how's our little beau doing?
- Genie: [after transforming Aladdin into a prince] He's got the outfit. He's got the elephant. But we're not through yet! Hang on to your turban, kid! We're gonna make you a star!
- Aladdin: [to Genie, regretfully] Genie, 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]
- Genie: [comes out of the lamp after Jafar has rubbed it] Y'know, Al, I'm getting really...! [spots Jafar] I don't think you're him. [reads from a script and looks at Jafar through opera glasses] Tonight the part of Al will be played by a tall, dark and sinister ugly man.
- [Jafar throws Genie to the ground, and steps on his face]
- Jafar: 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!
- 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]
- Jafar: 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]
- Aladdin: Get the lamp!
- Jafar: No!
- [Jasmine runs to do so, but Jafar shakes off Aladdin, but evilly zaps her into an hourglass]
- Jafar: Ah, ah, ah, princess. Your time is up!
- Aladdin: Jasmine!
- [Sand begins to flow from the top onto her, and she immediately realizes what will happen]
- Iago: Oh, nice shot, Jaf–
- [Abu angrily knocks Iago out with the fruit bowl that fell earlier and rushes for the lamp]
- Jafar: Don't toy with me!
- [Abu is almost to the lamp, but the blast from Jafar's staff turns him into a toy monkey, full of cymbals and a wind-up key]
- Aladdin: Abu!
- [Carpet rushes in and grabs the lamp as he flies side-by-side, but Jafar zaps him as well]
- Jafar: 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]
- Jafar: 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]
- Jafar: I'm just getting warmed up!
- [Jafar 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 evilly emerges through the fire, suddenly getting an idea from Aladdin's statements]
- Jafar: A snake, am I? Perhaps you'd like to see how s-s-s-s-snake-like I can be!
- [He grins broadly, and we see a snake's tongue come out from behind his teeth. Then his voice turns reptilian as he transforms into a giant cobra, 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]
- Genie: [in unison] Rickem, rockem, rackem, rake––stick that sword into that snake!
- Jafar: [to Genie angrily] You stay out of this-s-s-s!
- [The Genies merge back into one and he waves a pendant, not wishing to root for his evil current master]
- Genie: [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]
- 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!
- [He is about to hit the glass with a piece of wood he caught earlier until Jafar grabs him]
- Jafar: [laughs hideously] You little fool! You thought you could defeat the most powerful being on Earth?
- Iago: [with Genie coming up behind him] Squeeze him, Jafar! Squeeze him like a––––awk!
- [Genie elbows him out of the 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 yet 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.
- [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. 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: Yes! Yes! The power! The absolute power!
- [Jafar rises out of the palace and towards outer space, getting larger as his power grows. Down below, the wind blows fiercely to signal what's to follow]
- Jasmine: [to Aladdin frightfully] What have you done?
- Aladdin: Trust me!
- [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 to notice at first]
- Jafar: The universe is mine to command, to control!
- Aladdin: 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]
- Jafar: What?
- Aladdin: You wanted to be a Genie, you've had it!
- Jafar: [shocked] WHAT?!
- Aladdin: [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 exist, but its power is too strong]
- Jafar: NO! NO!!
- Iago: I'm getting outta here!
- Aladdin: Phenomenal cosmic powers!
- Jafar: NoooooOOOO!!!!
- [Iago tries to fly off, but Jafar grabs him, and he gets sucked in as well]
- Iago: C'mon, 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]
- Aladdin: 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 to argue]
- Jafar: [from inside the lamp] Get your blasted beak out of your face!
- Iago: [from also inside the lamp] Oh, shut up, you moron!
- Jafar: Don't tell me to shut up!
- Genie: Allow me.
- [Genie takes the lamp and goes to the balcony, wearing a baseball cap]
- Genie: 10,000 years in a cave of wonders ought to chill him out!
- [Genie winds up as if to throw the lamp, but instead flicks it as Jafar and Iago continue to argue as they fade out]
- [Last lines]
- Aladdin: I'm sorry I lied to you about being a prince.
- Princess Jasmine: I know why you did.
- Aladdin: Well, I guess this is goodbye. [Genie pokes his head around the corner shocked at what he is hearing]
- Princess Jasmine: 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.
- Aladdin: 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 going to find another girl like her in a million years. Believe me, I know. I've looked.
- Aladdin: Jasmine, I do love you. But I got to stop pretending to be something I'm not.
- Princess Jasmine: I understand.
- [They take one final look into each other's eyes, then Aladdin turns to the Genie]
- Aladdin: Genie, I wish for your freedom.
- Genie: One prince pedigree coming up. I... What?
- Aladdin: [he holds the lamp up to Genie] Genie, you're free.
- [A transformation scene ensues, in which the shackles fall off Genie's wrist and the lamp falls uselessly to the ground. Genie picks it up and looks at it]
- Genie: [he can't believe it; 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.
- Aladdin: 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 hitting the road. I'm off to see the world. I'm...
- [He is packing a suitcase, but looks down and sees Aladdin looking very sad]
- Aladdin: Genie, I'm... I'm going to miss you.
- Genie: Me too, Al. No matter what anybody says, you'll always be a prince to me.
- [They hug. The Sultan steps forward]
- Sultan: That's right. You've certainly proven your worth as far as I'm concerned. It's that law that's the problem.
- Jasmine: Father?
- Sultan: Well, am I sultan or am I sultan? From this day forth, the princess shall marry whoever she deems worthy.
- Jasmine: [she smiles widely and runs into Aladdin's arms] Him. I choose... I choose you, Aladdin.
- Aladdin: [laughs] Call me Al.
- [They are about to kiss when giant blue hands pull everybody together. Genie is decked out in a Hawaiian shirt with golf clubs and a Goofy hat]
- Genie: 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. I'm out of here. Bye-bye, you two crazy lovebirds. Hey, Rugman, Ciao, I'm history. No, I'm mythology. I don't care what I am. I'm free.
- [The Genie flies up into the blue sky leaving a trail of sparkles behind him. They cut (a jump cut to make matters worse) to fireworks exploding over a nightscape. We tilt down and see Aladdin and Jasmine flying on Carpet]
- Aladdin: [singing] A whole new world
- Princess Jasmine: [singing] A whole new life
- Both: [with off-camera chorus] For you and me
- Chorus: A whole new world!
- [They fly off into the moonlight, and after they have disappeared, the moon turns and reveals the Genie's laughing face. Suddenly the film is grabbed "off the projector", the Genie lifts it up and looks at the audience]
- Genie: Made you look.
- [Drops the film back to normal, with the normal moon, fades to black]
PEABO BRYSON AND REGINA BELLE lyrics (A Whole New World)Edit
- Peabo Bryson: 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
- Regina Belle: A whole new world / A dazzling place I never knew / But now from way up here / It's crystal clear / That now I'm in a whole new world with you / Unbelievable sights / Indescribable feeling / Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling / Through an endless diamond sky / A whole new world
- Peabo Bryson: Don't you dare close your eyes
- Regina Belle: A hundred thousand things to see
- Peabo Bryson: Hold your breath, it gets better
- Regina Belle: I'm like a shooting star / I've come so far / I can't go back to where I used to be
- Peabo Bryson: A whole new world
- Regina Belle: With new horizons to pursue
- Peabo Bryson: I'll chase them anywhere / There's time to spare / Let me share this whole new world with you
- Regina Belle: A whole new world
- Peabo Bryson: A whole new world / A new fantastic point of view / No one to tell us no / Or where to go
- Regina Belle: Or say we're only dreaming
- Peabo Bryson: A whole new world
- Regina Belle: Every turn a surprise
- Peabo Bryson: With new horizons to pursue / Every moment red-letter
- Regina Belle: I'll chase them anywhere
- Peabo Bryson: There's time to spare
- Regina Belle: Anywhere
- Peabo Bryson: There's time to spare
- Regina Belle: Let me share this whole new world with you, you / A whole new world
- Peabo Bryson: A whole new world
- Regina Belle: That's where we'll be
- Peabo Bryson: Where we will be
- Regina Belle: A thrilling chase
- Peabo Bryson: A wondrous place / For you and me

About AladdinEdit
- The supporting characters are all depicted as nasty mean, people. While the Aladdin character, Jasmine and her father speak unaccented, standard Americanized English all the bad guys speak in foreign accents. The lesson is that anyone with a foreign accent is bad. This is horrendous racism.
- Don Bustany, president of L.A. chapter of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, "Disney Will Alter Song in 'Aladdin' : Movies: Changes were agreed upon after Arab-Americans complained that some lyrics were racist. Some Arab groups are not satisfied.", quoted by David J. Fox, Los Angeles Times, (1993-07-10).
- I saw something that speculates that the peddler at the beginning of 'Aladdin' is the Genie. That's true!"
- Ron Clements, "Aladdin Directors Actually Confirm Crazy Fan Theory", interviewed by Bill Bradley, Huffington Post, (10/16/2015).
- One of the things [directors] Ron [Clements], John [Musker], and I were talking about was that, originally, when he came in to the first session, he said, “Do you want me to do kind of an ethnic voice for the Genie?” And we said, “No, no, just be yourself.” And we realized later that “being yourself” for Robin Williams is like being 98 different characters at once. [Laughs].
