ALADDINPEDDLER: Oh I come from a land From a faraway place Where the caravan camels roam Where they cut off your ear /Where its flat and immense If they dont like your face /And the heat is intense Its barbaric, but hey--its home! When the winds at your back And the suns from the west And the sand i
going to be around forever, and I just want to make
sure you're taken care of, provided for.
JASMINE: Try to understand. I've never done a thing on my
own. (She swirls her finger in the water of the
pond, petting the fish.)I've never had any real
friends. (RAJAH looks up at her and growls.)
Except you, Rajah. (Satisfied, he goes back to
sleep.) I've never even been outside the palace
walls.
SULTAN: But Jasmine, you're a princess.
JASMINE: Then maybe I don't want to be a princess. (She
splashes the water.)
SULTAN: Oooohhh! Allah forbid you should have any
daughters!
(RAJAH looks up and thinks for a second. JASMINE goes to the dove
cage and yanks open the door. The birds fly off into freedom.
She watches them go. Cut to int. of SULTAN's chambers.)
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.) Ooh, oh.
Ah, Jafar--my most trusted advisor. I am in
desperate need of your wisdom.
JAFAR: My life is but to serve you, my lord. (He bows.)
SULTAN: It's this suitor business. Jasmine refuses to
choose a husband. I'm at my wit's-end.
IAGO: (In the parrot voice) Awk! Wit's-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 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 the princess a suitor.
(JAFAR says the word 'princess' with the accent on
the second syllable, "cess." He turns his staff
with a cobra head towards the SULTAN. The eyes of
the staff begin to glow. The room darkens, JAFAR's
voice slows down and deepens. The SULTAN's eyes
get a hypnotized look.) Don't worry. Everything
will be fine.
SULTAN: Everything...will be...fine.
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 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'll be...pretty good.
(JAFAR and IAGO exit. We follow them. When they're out of the room,
the parrot 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 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 addlepated twit.
IAGO: And then I stuff the crackers down his throat! Ha
ha!
(The pair pass through a door and slam it shut. Diss. to ext. gardens
at night. 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.)
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.) Good bye!
(She disappears over the wall. Cut to daytime on the street 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 the PROPRIETOR.)
PROPRIETOR: (To passing crowd) Try this, your taste buds
will dance and sing. (ABU grabs a melon and
hangs there, distracting his attention.) Hey,
get your paws off that.
ABU: Blah blah blah!
PROPRIETOR: Why, you! Get away from here, you filthy ape!
(He 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. The PROPRIETOR 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 goin' Abu. Breakfast is served.
(ALADDIN and ABU on the roof break open the melon and eat. We see J
ASMINE walking through the street.)
SHOPKEEPER 1: Pretty lady, buy a pot. No finer pot in brass
or silver.
SHOPKEEPER 2: Sugar dates, sugar dates and figs! Sugar
dates and pistachios!
SHOPKEEPER 3: 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.)
SHOPKEEPER 4: Fresh fish! We catch 'em, you buy 'em!
JASMINE: I don't think so. (She backs away, but bumps into
a fire eater, who is startled into swallowing his
fire.) Oh, excuse me. (He gulps, then belches
fire from his mouth
