Script: Razoul

SIDE 1

(A CAVE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF AGRABAH. Two GUARDS enter a dimly lit space with ALADDIN, who struggles to free himself from their grip. RAZOUL enters.)

RAZOUL

Here we are. Make yourself uncomfortable.

GUARD 1

Hey, Boss? How come we had to drag him all the way out here to this cave?

GUARD 2

Yeah, Boss. Jafar said to put him in the dungeon.

RAZOUL

Jafar forgets that all the dungeons are full of prisoners already.

GUARD 1

So now he's filling up caves?

RAZOUL

This kid's a special case.

ALADDIN

I'm not special. I don't need a cave.

RAZOUL

You won't need it for long, that's for sure.

ALADDIN

Really? Where am I going?

 

SIDE 2

(All exit except JAFAR and IAGO.)

IAGO

There's something funny about that guy.

JAFAR

Agreed. Keep your eyes on this "Prince Ali."
(RAZOUL enters.)

RAZOUL

Hey Boss, that boy we found with Princess Jasmine? The boy from the marketplace?

IAGO

(light bulb, aside)
The boy from the marketplace?

JAFAR

Yes, yes, what about him?

RAZOUL

He's escaped?

JAFAR

How exactly does a boy "escape" from a dungeon, Captain?

RAZOUL

Um, well, Boss -- he wasn't exactly in a dungeon ...

JAFAR

I'm waiting.

RAZOUL

The dungeons were all full, so I thought it would be best to put him in your cave.

IAGO

The cave with all your treasures!

JAFAR

He's in my cave? With all my treasures?

RAZOUL

"Treasures?" Nuh-uh, boss - that cave with all the old junk.

JAFAR

Idiot! Those are precious items I've been stealing - I mean "collecting" - throughout my long career in public service. That filthy urchin could have stolen a fortune!
(beat)
Razoul! Why are you standing there? Go and find that boy! And this time bring him to me.

RAZOUL

Right away, Boss! Right away!
(RAZOUL exits.)
