Hotaru walks over to Saga. They hold hands, but both look sad.

Saga: Hotaru, I'm sorry I lied to you about being a prince.

Hotaru: I know why you did.

Hotaru: I know why you did

Saga: Well, I guess...this... is goodbye? (Dohko pokes his head around the corner shocked at what he is hearing.)

Hotaru: Oh, that stupid law. This isn't fair--I love you.

Dohko: (Wipes away a tear) Sa, no problem. You've still got one wish left. Just say the word and you're a prince again.

Saga: But Dohko, what about your freedom?

Dohko: Hey, it's only an eternity of servitude. This is love. (He leans down next to her.) Sa, you're not gonna find another girl like her in a million years. Believe me, I know. I've looked.

Saga: Hotaru, I do love you, but I've got to stop pretending to be something I'm not

Saga: Hotaru, I do love you, but I've got to stop pretending to be something I'm not.

Hotaru: I understand.

They take one final look into each other's eyes, then Sagaturns to the Dohko.

Saga: Dohko, I wish for your freedom.

Dohko: One bona fide prince pedigree coming up. I--what?

Saga: (He holds the lamp up to Dohko.) Dohko, you're free!

The shackles fall off Dohko's wrist and the lamp falls uselessly to the ground. Dohko picks it up and looks at it.

Dohko: (He can't believe it.) Heh, heh! I'm free. I'm free. (He hands the lamp to Saga.) Quick, quick, wish for something outrageous. Say "I want the Nile." Wish for the Nile. Try that!

Saga: I wish for the Nile.

Dohko: No way!! (Laughs hysterically. He bounces around the balcony like a pinball.) Oh does that feel good! I'm free! I'm free at last! I'm hittin' the road. I'm off to see the world! I--

He is packing a suitcase, but looks down and sees Saga looking very sad.

Saga: Dohko, I'm--I'm gonna miss you.

Dohko: Me too, Sa. No matter what anybody says, you'll always be a prince to me.

They hug. Sultan Shion steps forward.

Shion: That's right. You've certainly proven your worth as far as I'm concerned. It's that law that's the problem.

Hotaru: Father?

Shion: Well, am I sultan or am I sultan? From this day forth, the princess shall marry whomever she deems worthy.

Shion: Well, am I sultan or am I sultan? From this day forth, the princess shall marry whomever she deems worthy

 I choose you, Saga

Saga: Ha, ha. Call me Sa.

They are about to kiss when giant blue hands pull everybody together. Dohko is decked out in a Hawaiian shirt with golf clubs and a Goofy hat.

Dohko: Oh, all of ya. Come over here. Big group hug! Group hug, Ooh! Do you Mind if I kiss the monkey? (He kisses Chimchar.) Ooh, hairball! Well, I can't do any more damage around this popsicle stand. I'm outta here! Goodbye, you two crazy lovebirds. Hey, Rugman: ciao! I'm history! No, I'm mythology! No, I don't care what I am--I'm free!

Dohko flies up into the blue sky leaving a trail of sparkles behind him.

A jump cut to make matters worse to fireworks exploding over a nightscape. We tilt down and see Saga and Hotaru flying on Carpet.

Saga:

A whole new world

Hotaru:

A whole new life

Both:

(with off-camera chorus) For you and me!

Men's Chorus:

A whole new world!

They fly off into the moonlight, and after they have disappeared, the moon turns and reveals Dohko's laughing face. Suddenly the film is grabbed "off the projector", the Dohko lifts it up and looks at the audience.

Dohko: Made ya look.
