KASSIM: Come on, Aladdin. You’ve taught me every swindle I know. You’re the best thief this
side of the River Jordan.
ALADDIN: That’s all behind me now. I promised my parents before they died that I’d never steal
again.
ALADDIN: (grabs the bread back) Food doesn’t count. A guy’s gotta eat. You know, maybe we
should both clean up our act. Every time I pick a pocket, I feel awful.
ALADDIN: (closes eyes and shakes head) No. The way I see it, we’re just stealing from the rich
and giving to the poor.
ALADDIN: But when people see me, I don’t want the first thing they think to be “thief”.
ALADDIN: Don’t worry, they’ll never find us up here. So....where you from?
ALADDIN: Well...you’re definitely not a local girl...which means you must be on the run from
something.
JASMINE: My father.
JASMINE: Running away from life. He’s trying to force me to marry against my will.
ALADDIN: That’s terrible. You should be free to make your own choices, right?
JASMINE: Right. (looks around, shocked by the poverty) Do you live here?
ALADDIN: Oh, I know it’s not much to look at. But how about the view? Look how beautiful the
palace is.
JASMINE: It’s beautiful, but why should some people get to live in such splendor, when
others…(looks around again)...don’t? That’s not fair.
ALADDIN: Welcome to my life! (looks out at the palace) I wonder what it would be like to live
there, to have servants and valets...and a bed.
JASMINE: And people who keep you locked behind walls and then tell you what to do and who
to love.
ALADDIN: It’s better than here. Always scraping for food and dodging the guards.
ALADDIN: Have you ever imagined what it would be like to take off and never look back?
GENIE: No, I’m from Cleveland. Of course I’m from inside the lamp! And you are the master of
said lamp, so you get three wishes!
GENIE: And I thought the echo in the lamp was bad! Try to keep up, kid! I got a production
number to get to!
GENIE: That’s right! But ixnay on wishing for more wishes. You got a name, kid?
ALADDIN: Aladdin.
GENIE: Mind if I call you Al...Al? Why don’t you just ruminate whilst I illuminate the
poss-o-bilities!
SCENE 4 - IAGO & JAFAR & SPOOKY VOICE
JAFAR: The key to a lamp that contains an all-powerful genie! Once I have it in my grasp,
worries about the Princess’s suitors will be a distant memory. I’ll have the entire kingdom at my
mercy!
SPOOKY VOICE: But be warned, only the Diamond in the Rough may enter - the one whose
worth lies deep within!
SPOOKY VOICE: Find the Diamond in the Rough and make sure he touches only the lamp!
JAFAR: Once we’ve got that boy, we’ve got our lamp! And I will finally be Sultan of Agrabah!
(JAFAR gives an evil laugh.) HA HA HA HA!
