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
ALADDIN chained to the wall.)
ALADDIN: (to himself) She was the princess. I don't believe
it. I must have sounded so stupid to her.
ABU: (from a distance) Yoo-hoo! Aladdin? Hello!
(ABU appears at the window at the top of the dungeon.)
ALADDIN: Abu! Down here! Hey, c'mon--help me outta 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
gotta marry a prince, she deserves it.
(ABU finally frees ALADDIN's hands.)
ABU: Ta da!
ALADDIN: (Rubbing his wrists) I'm a--I'm a fool
OLD MAN: You're only a fool if you give up, boy.
(We see an OLD MAN sitting in the corner that neither ALADDIN nor ABU
have seen before.)
ALADDIN: Who are you?
OLD MAN: A lowly prisoner, like yourself. But together,
perhaps we can be more.
ALADDIN: I'm listening.
OLD MAN: There is a cave, boy. A cave of wonders. Filled
with treasures beyond your wildest dreams.
Treasure enough to impress even your princess, I'd
wager.
(Listeners will note that the OLD MAN pronounced the word
'princess' as "prin-CESS" rather than the standard pronunciation
of "PRIN-cess." The OLD MAN turns his back, and IAGO sticks
his head out of JAFAR's "old man" disguise.)
IAGO: Jafar, can ya hurry it up? I'm dyin' in here!
ALADDIN: But the law says that only a prince can marry--
OLD MAN: You've heard of the golden rule, haven't you boy?
Whoever has the gold makes the rules.(He grins,
showing a hideously bad mouth.)
ALADDIN: So why would you share all of this wonderful
treasure with me?
OLD MAN: I need a young man with strong legs and a strong
back to go in after it.
ALADDIN: Ah, one problem. It's out there, we're in here?
(The OLD MAN walks to a wall and pushes open a hidden exit.)
OLD MAN: Mmm, mmm, mmm., Things aren't always what they
seem. So, do we have a deal?
(ALADDIN looks at ABU, who shrugs his shoulders.)
ABU: Oh, hmm.
(Cut to desert scene. We see ALADDIN leading a horse with the
OLD MAN and ABU on it. Diss. to cave of wonders.)
CAVE: Who disturbs my slumber?
ALADDIN: It is I, Aladdin.
CAVE: Proceed. Touch nothing but the lamp.
(The cave opens up with a roar, and a staircase appears in front of
ALADDIN. )
OLD MAN: Remember, boy--first fetch me the lamp, and then
you shall have your reward.
ALADDIN: C'mon, 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 ya 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 bolts for it.)
ALADDIN: Abu!
(ABU stops in mid run, hovering over a rug on the floor.)
ALADDIN: Don't...touch...anything! We gotta 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: Abu, will ya 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! C'mon. C'mon out. I'm not gonna
hurt you.
(The CARPET slowly comes out, shyly, then picks up ABU's hat and dusts
it off. It flies over to ALADDIN and hands the hat to ABU next to
him. ABU screeches, and jumps onto ALADDIN's shoulder.)
ALADDIN: Take it easy, Abu. He's not gonna bite.
(The CARPET again picks up ABU's hat and hands it to him. ABU shakes
his fist and screeches at it. CARPET begins to walk away, "sadly.")
ALADDIN: Hey, wait a minute. Don't go. Maybe you can help
us. (CARPET looks back, excited. It then flies
over and wraps around the pair.) Hey, whoa! You
see, we're trying to find this lamp. (CARPET
motions for them to follow it.) I think he knows
where it is.
(They pass through a long cave, unti
