Starts spotlight on JAFAR

**Start song: Arabian night**

JAFAR:

🎵 Oh, imagine a land

🎵It's a faraway place

🎵Where the caravan camels roam

🎵Where you wander among every culture and tongue

🎵It's chaotic, 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

🎵As you wind through the streets

🎵At the fabled bazaars

🎵With the cardamom-cluttered stalls

🎵You can smell every spice

🎵While you haggle the price

🎵Of the silks and the satin shawls

🎵Oh, the music that plays

🎵As you move through a maze

🎵In the haze of your pure delight You are caught in a dance

🎵You are lost in the trance

🎵Of another Arabian night

🎵Arabian nights

🎵Like Arabian days

🎵More often than not

🎵Are hotter than hot In a lot of good ways

🎵Arabian nights

🎵Like Arabian dreams

🎵This mystical land

🎵Of magic and sand

🎵Is more than it seems

🎵There’s a road that may lead you

🎵To good or to greed through

🎵The power your wishing commands

🎵Let the darkness unfold

🎵Or find fortunes untold

🎵Well, your destiny lies in your hands

Cave Of Wonders: Only one may enter here. One whose worth lies far within. A diamond in
the rough.
All on stage:

🎵Arabian nights

🎵Like Arabian days

🎵They seem to excite

🎵Take off and take flight

🎵To shock and amaze

Cave of Wonders: Seek me out. The diamond in the rough.
All on stage:
🎵Arabian nights

🎵'Neath Arabian moons

🎵A fool off his guard

🎵Could fall and fall hard

🎵Out there on the dunes🎵

[We are now in Agrabah where Aladdin and his monkey Abu are stealing things. Speaking of
Abu, a woman notices him.]

Woman 1: What's your monkey's name?

Aladdin: Abu.
Woman 1: He's a lovely monkey.
Aladdin: Mm, that's a lovely necklace.
Woman 1: So, where does Abu come from?
Aladdin: He, uh... Oh! I think this... belongs to me. Good day, ladies. Okay. How'd we do,
Abu? Good monkey.

Agrabah marketplace 2

Jasmine: Are you hungry?

Children: (nod heads)
Jasmine: Here, take some bread.
Jamal: Hey. Hey! You steal from my shop.
Jasmine: Stealing? No, I...
Jamal: You pay or I take bracelet.
Jasmine: Sir, I don't have any money. Let go of me! No.
Aladdin: Take it easy, Jamal.
Jasmine: Those children were hungry! I...
Aladdin: Okay, give me a minute.
Jamal: You keep your little street rat nose out of it! Huh?
Aladdin: Do you have any money?
Jasmine: No!
Aladdin: Okay. Trust me. Here you go.
Jasmine: Wait!
Aladdin: This is what you wanted, right?
Jamal: Eh! Thank you.
Aladdin: Okay, and an apple for your troubles. Nice. -
Jasmine: That was m... I'm not leaving without my bracelet!
Aladdin: You mean, this bracelet? Come on.
Jamal: Nay nay nay na-na-nay Nay nay nay na-na-nay Nay nay nay nay nay... Aladdin! Thief,
Aladdin!
Jasmine: Are we in trouble?
Aladdin: Only if you get caught.

**Start song: One Jump Ahead**

Jamal: Aladdin!
Aladdin: Down that alley. Monkey knows the way. Abu. You'll be fine. -
Jamal: Over there! Hey, you!
Aladdin: You looking for this, Jamal?
Jamal: Aladdin

Aladdin: 🎵Gotta keep

🎵One jump ahead of the bread line

🎵One swing ahead of the sword

🎵I steal only what I can't afford Stop!

And that's everything.

🎵One jump ahead of the lawmen

🎵That's all, and that's no joke

🎵These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

Guards: Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!

Aladdin: 🎵Try a different tact, guys

Guards: 🎵Rip him open 'Round the back, guys

Aladdin: 🎵I can take a hint

🎵Gotta face the facts

🎵Could really use a friend or two

Women: 🎵Oh, it's sad, Aladdin's hit the bottom

🎵He's become a one-man rise in crime

Woman: 🎵I'd blame parents, 'cept he hasn't got 'em

Aladdin: 🎵Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Tell you all about it when I got the time Hey!
Jasmine: There are stairs, you know.
Aladdin: Where's the fun in that?
🎵One jump ahead of the slowpokes

🎵One skip ahead of my doom

🎵Next time gonna use a nom de plume

Hey, get back here!

🎵One jump ahead of the hitmen

🎵One hit ahead of the flock

🎵I think I'll take a stroll around the block

Crowd: Stop thief!
Crowd: Vandal!
Aladdin: Abu!
Crowd: Scoundrel!

Aladdin: 🎵Let's not be too hasty

Lady: 🎵Still I think he's rather tasty

Aladdin:🎵 Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Otherwise we'd get along
Guards: Wrong! No, no, no, no!
Aladdin: Together on three.
Jasmine: Together on three?
Aladdin: We jump.
Jasmine: We jump?
Aladdin: Why are you repeating everything I say? The pole. One, two, three!
Jasmine: Sorry! I can't.
Aladdin: Look at me. Look at me. You... can do this.
Jasmine: Oh. Oh.
Aladdin: Nicely done.
Jasmine: Thank you.

Aladdin: 🎵One jump ahead of the hoofbeats

🎵One hop ahead of the hump

🎵One trick ahead of disaster

🎵They're quick, but I'm much faster

🎵Here goes

🎵Better throw my hand in

🎵Wish me happy landing

🎵All I gotta do is jump!🎵

(Into the dungeons of the palace)

iago: Here comes the Master.

Prisoner: Majazeer, perhaps this diamond in the rough does not exist.
Jafar: He is out there.
Prisoner: But we've searched for months. I do not understand what could possibly be in that
cave that could help a man as great as you. You are already second only to the Sultan.
Iago: Second! Uh-oh. Who's in trouble now?
Jafar: And you think second is enough?
Prisoner: Of course. You were not born to be sultan.
Iago: Not smart.
Jafar: Do you know what I had to do to get the power that I have? The sacrifices that I've
made? The bodies that I've buried? The five years spent in a Sherabad jail? People need to
understand that they will pay for underestimating me. Second is not enough! And it will
never be enough! That's why I need the lamp. And why I no longer need you!

(into the reading room of the palace)

Jafar: My Sultan... Our enemies grow stronger every day, yet you allow your daughterto
dismiss Prince Anders and a possible military alliance. Which enemies? Sherabad continues
to amass.
Sultan: Sherabad is our ally.
Jafar: Was our ally.
Sultan: You would drag us into a war with our only...
Jafar: Yet you would allow your kingdom to sink into ruin, for mere sentiment!
Sultan: Jafar! Remember your place.

(in jafars tower)

Jafar: Remember your place, Jafar.

Iago: Remember your place.
Jafar. If I hear that...! One more time.
Iago: Sorry, Master.
Jafar: Another petty insult from that slow-minded fool. He sees a city where I see an empire.
Iago: Such vision.
Jafar: Once that lamp sits in my hand, then I shall sit on his throne.

(Aladdin runs past the back of the stage not going unnoticed by iago)

Iago: Thief! Thief in the palace.

Jafar: Thief in the palace?
Iago: That's what I said. Thief.
Jafar: What have you seen, Iago?
Iago: Diamond in the rough.
Iago: Who's a clever boy?

(in jasmines bedroom)

Jasmine: You.You! What are you doing here? Get in here, now.
Aladdin: I... came back to return your bracelet.
Jasmine: My bracelet? Where is it?
Aladdin: On your wrist. What?
Aladdin: Not bad! I like what she's done with the place.
Jasmine: How did you get past the guards?
Aladdin: That was challenging. But, I have my ways. While the Princess is out, would you like
to go for a stroll? Have a little chat?
Jasmine: You're unbelievable. You cannot just break into a palace and walk around like you
own the place.
Dalia: Who ordered the tea?
Jasmine: Uh... I did. For you, Princess Jasmine.
Aladdin: Your Majesty!
Dalia: Why are you being weird? Oh, I'm... the Princess... Yes! Mm-hmm. And it is good to be
me with all my palaces and... wagons of gold... things... and dresses for... every hour of the
day. Now it is time for my cat to be cleaned.
Jasmine: She doesn't get out much.
Aladdin: Mm-hmm. Clearly
Jasmine: You have to go now.
Aladdin: Oh, okay, but I'm coming back tomorrow night.
Jasmine: What? No, you can't.
Aladdin: Meet me in the courtyard beside the fountain. When the moon is above the
minaret. To return this. I promise. Can you believe it, Abu? The most heavily guarded place
in all of Agrabah.
(outside jasmines bedroom)
Aladdin: Evening. Evening. Guards are behind me. Hello, boys. Where am I?
Jafar: In a world of trouble, boy.
Jafar: You see, I was once like you. A common thief. Only I thought bigger. Steal an apple,
and you're a thief. Steal a kingdom, and you're a statesman. Only weak men stop there.
You're either the most powerful man in the room, or you're nothing. You. You stumbled
upon an opportunity. I can make you rich. Rich enough to impress a princess. But nothing
comes for free.
Aladdin: What would I have to do?
Jafar: There's a cave nearby. And in it, a simple oil lamp. Retrieve it for me, and I will make
you wealthy enough to impress a princess. You're nothing to her. But you could be. Your life
begins now, Aladdin.

(outside the cave of wonders)

Jafar: The Cave of Wonders. When you enter, you will see more riches than you've ever
dreamed of. Gold, diamonds... and... the lamp. Bring it to me and I will make you rich and
free. But take no other treasure, no matter how sorely you are tempted. And you will be
tempted.
Cave of Wonders: Only one may enter here. One who's worth lies far within. A diamond in
the rough.
Jafar: and Remember... take nothing but the lamp.

(in the cave of wonders)

Aladdin: Abu, don't touch. Abu a magic carpet. These really do exist Abu, keep your little
monkey hands to yourself. Abu! No!
Cave of Wonders: (voice) You have touched the forbidden treasure! Now, you will never
again see the light of day!
Aladdin: Carpet! Abu, jump!

(at the opening of the cave)

Aladdin: Could you give me a hand?

Jafar: First, the lamp.
Aladdin: No, no, first, your hand.
Jafar: We don't have much time. Give me the lamp.
Aladdin: Your hand! Now, your hand!
Jafar: How about my foot?
Aladdin: No!
Jafar: Get off me, monkey!

(outside the cave of wonders)

Jafar: (realises he doesn’t have the lamp) Aaahhh!

Aladdin: We're alive. I think. Thank you, carpet. Abu. How did you...? You cunning little
monkey. Now, all we need's a way out. Hey, carpet, do you know a way out of here? The
lamp? What is that?
Genie: hello?
Alladin: who are you
Genie: im the genie of the lamp and you are
Aladdin: Aladdin wait- genie
Genie: oh kid lemme tell you who I am because your not seeming to understand

Genie: Here I go! Unh, ooh, woo! Back up! Uh-oh! Watch out! You done wound me up!
'Boutta show you what I'm workin' with, unh!

Genie: You can clap now. Puh-domp. No, no, no, no. Please, please, please, please. You can
thank me outside. I-In the sun. When you wish us out.

Aladdin: So, how does it work?

Genie: You're... kidding, right? The whole song... was th-the instructions! Obviously you
can't dance and listen at the same time. So here's the basics: Step one. Rub the lamp. Step
two. Say what you want. Step three. There is no step three. See? It's that easy. You get three
wishes. They must begin with rubbing the lamp and saying "I wish". Got it?
Aladdin: I think so.
Genie: A couple other rules. (rolls out a long scroll) You can't wish for more wishes. Three is
enough. Now, I can't make anybody love anybody. Or bring anybody back from the dead..
and theres many more but you cant be as stupid as you look so Good? what's your first
wish?
Aladdin: Okay, Genie. I wish for you to get us out of this cave.

(they fly out of the cave)

Genie: so what else you want

Aladdin: to become a prince so I can marry jasmine

Jasmine: mhhhmmm sure

(Back in the Agrabah market place)

(Aladdin brushes/bumps into JAFAR not knowing its him and leaving not realising that jafar
now has the lamp)
(they are now back at the palace jafar sits on sultans thrown)

Genie: hey Aladdin I was thinkin- who are you

Jafar: I am jafar
Genie: your not my mast-
Jafar: you serve me now
Genie: but
Jafar: hush I am your master now and for my first wish I wish to be the sultan of Agrabah
Genie: (solemnly) as you wish

(the others storm in)

Sultan: what are you doing jafar don’t sit on my-

Jafar: how dare you talk to me like that-
Sultan: jafar remember your plac-
Jafar: my place now yes. Yes im now sultan isn’t that right genie
Genie;(steps out) yes sir

Jafar: send an army to invade sherebad

Jasmine: do not
Jafar: you stay silent guards remove her

Everyone freezes

Jasmine:

Here comes a wave

Meant to wash me away
A tide that is taking me under
Swallowing sand
Left with nothing to say
My voice drowned out in the thunder
But I won't cry
And I won't start to crumble
Whenever they try
To shut me or cut me down
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Written in stone
Every rule, every word
Centuries old and unbending
Stay in your place
Better seen and not heard
But now that story is ending
'Cause I
I cannot start to crumble
So come on and try
Try to shut me and cut me down
I won't be silenced
You can't keep me quiet
Won't tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
Let the storm in
I cannot be broken
No, I won't live unspoken
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
Try to lock me in this cage
I won't just lay me down and die
I will take these broken wings
And watch me burn across the sky
Hear the echoes saying I
Won't be silenced
Though you want to see me tremble when you try it
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless
'Cause I'll breathe
When they try to suffocate me
Don't you underestimate me
'Cause I know that I won't go speechless
All I know is I won't go speechless
Speechless

They all run to jafar

Aladdin: You can’t find what you’re looking for in that lamp, Jafar. I tried and failed, and so
will you.
Jafar: You think so? But I am Sultan! I am the greatest sorcerer the world has ever seen. I
will create an empire that history cannot ignore. I can destroy cities. I can destroy kingdoms.
And I can destroy you.
Aladdin: True. But who made you a sultan? Who made you a sorcerer? There will always be
some thing, some man, some being more powerful than you.
Aladdin: Genie gave you your power, and he can take it away.
Jafar: HE SERVES ME!
Aladdin: For now. But you’ll never have more power than the genie. You said it yourself,
you’re either the most powerful in the room, or you’re nothing. You will always be second.
Jafar: Second?! Only second?! HE SERVES ME!! I will make sure no one will ever say these
words again! Genie, for my final wish, I wish to become the most powerful being in the
universe! More powerful than you!
Genie: uh, the most powerful being in the universe, coming right up!

(jafar becomes a genie , then notices the locks on his arms)

Jafar: What have you done to me?

Aladdin: I haven’t done anything to you, Jafar. This was your wish, not mine. A genie might
have phenomenal cosmic powers…
Genie: But an itty-bitty living space. You see, a genie without a master, goes back in their
lamp.
[Jafar's prison lamp appears taking his base]
Jafar: I will not forget you, boy! Mark my words. I will not forget what you have done to me!
Aladdin: Goodbye, Jafar.

(jafar shrinks into the lamp)

Aladdin: Okay Genie

Genie: Last wish.
Aladdin: Genie.
Genie: I'm ready. Hold on. Here we go.
Aladdin: I wish...
Genie: Third and final wish.
Aladdin: I wish...to set you free.
Genie: as you wish
i-

(he becomes human)

[Aladdin embraces Genie]

Genie: Thank you.
Aladdin: No. Thank you, Genie. I owe you everything.
