SIDE 1

JASMINE

His name is Aladdin. He's being held somewhere, and you have to release him.

SULTAN

Is this "boy" someone you met while you were roaming the streets?
(JASMINE is silent.)
Jasmine! Members of this family do not consort with the common people.

JASMINE

But we should! YOU should! How else are you going to know what's going on? Did you know that your "common people" are hungry?

SULTAN

Jasmine, my concern is what's "going on" with you.

JASMINE

I've never been happier.

SULTAN

You ran away today, Jasmine! And now that you're back, all you want to talk about is some boy --

JASMINE

Father, please just listen --

SULTAN

You are a Princess! A Princess who must be wed tomorrow!

JASMINE

No!

SULTAN

Your time is up, Jasmine! You will choose one of the princes you've already met, or I will be forced to choose for you.

SIDE 2

ALADDIN

(turns to JASMINE)
Princess, I have nothing to offer you. No money, no jewels, no lands. No special powers, no important friends. But I will stand by you, and with you, no matter what. That's the only offer I can make.
(deep breath)
Whew!
(to GENIE)
Now that was hard.

SULTAN

Young man, that's the best offer any father could ask for. You've taught me something important today.
(to JASMINE)
It's time for me to be a better father ... and a better ruler.

JASMINE

Then we have your permission?

SULTAN

Well, am I Sultan, or not?
(to TOWNSPEOPLE)
From this day forth, the Princess of Agrabah shall marry whomever she chooses, whenever she chooses!

TOWNSPEOPLE

Yay!
