SIDE 1

JASMINE

(in disguise as Pashmina)

Wow, you live here?

ALADDIN

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

JASMINE

From what I hear, the palace is more like a prison than a home. At least for the Princess, anyway .

ALADDIN

Really? I hear that Princess Jasmine is so spoiled, she can't even blow her own nose. She has a Royal Nose-Blower do it for her!

JASMINE

That is ridiculous-! Um, I mean ... it can't be easy when people only see the "Princess" and not the real person inside.

ALADDIN

Hey, I can see the person inside you, Pashmina. You're smart and sensitive. I think that's pretty cool.

JASMINE

Wow, thanks, Aladdin. I think you're cool, too, like when you gave your bread to those beggars.

ALADDIN

Well ... it wasn't exactly my bread. But if I don't help those who are starving, who will? The ancient law makes it tough to be poor.

JASMINE

Don't get me started on the ancient law ... Just because it's tradition doesn't mean it's right!

(gets an idea)

Hey, why don't we tell the Sultan to change the law so that everyone in Agrabah has a chance to be happy?

ALADDIN

How are we going to do that? We're just a couple of nobodies.

JASMINE

No, Aladdin. You and I ... we're the future. We can change the world.

SIDE 2

(ALADDIN rubs the lamp. GENIE appears in grand fashion.)

GENIE

(to audience)

Thank you! Thank you very much! Boy, it's good to be back. Let me tell you, ten- thousand years inside a tin can can give you such a crick in the neck!

(to ALADDIN, pointing a "mic" in his face)

So, what's your name - No. Wait. Don't tell me. Let me guess ... Sinbad? Hercules? Bruce? Come on, kid, work with me here - people are watching.

ALADDIN

Al - Aladdin.

GENIE

Nice to meet you, Al Aladdin. Gee, you're a lot smaller than my last master. Or maybe it's me, tell me the truth: Do these earrings make me look taller?

ALADDIN

Wait a minute. You mean, I'm in charge of you?

GENIE

Ladies and gentlemen, he can be taught! Yep, I obey the master of the map. So, what would you wish of me?

ALADDIN

Um, you mean, I get a wish?

GENIE

Three, count 'em, three wishes. No substitutions, exchanges, or refunds!

ALADDIN

Now I know I'm dreaming.

GENIE

Read the owner's manual while I blow the roof off this joint! Maestro, give me four for nothing!
