Audition Central: Disney's Aladdin KIDS - OLD

Script: Jasmine

SIDE 1

(ALADDIN and JASMINE run on laughing.)

JASMINE
Wow, you live here?

ALADDIN
It's not the palace, but hey, it's home.

JASMINE
From what I hear, that palace is more like a prison that a home. At least for the princess, anyway.

ALADDIN
I hear Princess Jasmine is so spoiled, she can't even pick her own nose - she has it done for her by the royal nose-picker.

JASMINE
(offended)
It was only that one time and I--
(catches herself)
Uhm, I mean, it can't be easy when people only see the "princess" and not the person inside!

ALADDIN
Hey, I can see the person inside you, and I think she's pretty cool.

JASMINE
Thanks. And I really like how you gave the food you stole to the other starving peasants.

ALADDIN
Well, someone's got to help them. Those dumb old laws sure make it tough if you're poor.

JASMINE
We should tell the sultan to change those laws to make sure all his people are happy, right?

ALADDIN
And how are we going to do that? We're just a couple of beggars.

JASMINE
But we're the future, Aladdin. We can change the world. Anything's possible, with you by my side.

ALADDIN
Hey, I'll be the sultan if you'll be my princess. Deal?

JASMINE
Deal.

SIDE 2

(The SULTAN sits on his throne, attended by JAFAR and IAGO. JASMINE enters, raging at JAFAR.)

JASMINE
You have no right to throw that poor beggar boy in the royal dungeon!

SULTAN
Jafar, what's going on here?

JAFAR
Well, it seems a common street thug kidnapped your daughter in the marketplace. Luckily, my private guards saved her from certain death.

JASMINE
He didn't kidnap me, Father - he saved my life.

JAFAR
Details, details.

JASMINE
(to JAFAR)
I demand you free him immediately!

JAFAR
I'm afraid it's too late. The street rat is... no more.

JASMINE
(distraught)
No!!! How could you??

SULTAN
But Jasmine, why were you out in the marketplace when you know the ancient law forbids it?!?

JASMINE
Those stupid old laws took away an innocent young man's life! And I really, really liked him, Daddy!

JAFAR
Speaking of stupid old laws, you have ten seconds left to choose a prince, otherwise you'll have to marry me in 9, 8, 7...

JASMINE
Daddy, please, do something--

IAGO
6,5, squawk!

SULTAN
But the ancient law is the ancient law is, well, the ancient law--

JAFAR
4,3,2--

SIDE 3
(ALADDIN puts the magic lamps on the floor and talks to it. JAFAR and IAGO hide behind a curtain, spying.

ALADDIN
All I have to do is answer the Princess's question and I'm home free, right, Genie?

GENIE (V.O.)
Right, Al. Just be yourself and speak from your heart!

IAGO
Boss, it's the street rat!

JAFAR
Yes, and he's got the magical lamp! Shhhh, here comes the Princess.

(JAFAR and IAGO hide behind the curtain. JASMINE enters with a chip on her shoulder.)

JASMINE
So, Prince Ali Abooboo--

ALADDIN
Uhm, that's Ababwa.

JASMINE
Whatever. So, if you were sultan, what is the biggest problem you would fix in Agrabah?

ALADDIN
Well, Princess, the beggars are the biggest problem in Agrabah.

JASMINE
Oh, sure, blame the poor, homeless beggars! You're just like all the other princes--

ALADDIN
Let me finish! I'd give the beggars jobs and food and a place to live. That way, they wouldn't be beggars anymore. And everyone would be happy.

JASMINE
(the right answer)
Exaclty!

ALADDIN
Totally! We have to make the world--

JASMINE
--our own! We can change the world--

ALADDIN
--and if we need to change some dumb old laws--

JASMINE
--that keep the people in chains of poverty--

ALADDIN
--or make them marry someone they don't want to--

JASMINE:
--when the perfect person is standing right in front of them--

ALADDIN, JASMINE
We have to change those laws!

(JASMINE is won over and hugs ALADDIN impulsively)

JASMINE
Prince Ali Ababwa, you're too good to be true! Do you ever get lonely being a prince?

ALADDIN
Only every day. Until now, that is.

JASMINE
There's got to be more to life than what's inside the four walls of the palace.

ALADDIN
There's a whole new world out there, just waiting for us.
