SCENE 12

Genie: Thank you for choosing Magic Carpet for all your travel needs. Don't stand until the rug has come to a complete stop. Thank you. Goodbye now. Goodbye. Thank you. Goodbye. Well, how about that, Mr. Doubting Mustafa?

Aladdin: Oh, you sure showed me. Now, about my three wishes.

Genie: Dost mine ears deceive me? Three? You are down by ONE, boy!

Aladdin: Ah, no. I never actually wished to get out of the cave. You did that on your own.

Genie: [jaw drops] Well, I feel sheepish. All right, you baaad boy, but no more freebies.

Aladdin: Fair deal. So, three wishes. I want them to be good. What would you wish for?

Genie: Me? No one's ever asked me that before. Well, in my case... Ah, forget it.

Aladdin: What?

Genie: No, I can't. I...

Aladdin: Come in. Tell me.

Genie: Freedom.

Aladdin: You're a prisoner?

Genie: It's all part and parcel of the whole genie gig. Phenomenal cosmic powers... Itty bitty living space.

Aladdin: Genie, that's terrible.

Genie: But, oh, to be free. Not have to go, "Poof. What do you need? Poof. What do you need? Poof. What do you need?" To be my own master. Such a thing would be grater than all the magic and all the treasures in all the world! But what am I talking about? Let's get real here. It's not gonna happen. Genie, wake up and smell the hummus.

Aladdin: Why not?

Genie: The only way I get outta this is if my master wishes me out. So you can guess how often that's happened.

Aladdin: I'll do it. I'll set you free.

Genie: Uh-huh, yeah, right.

Aladdin: No, really, I promise. After I make my first two wishes, I'll use my third wish to set you free.

Genie: Well, here's hopin'. All right. Let's make some magic! So how 'bout it? What is it you want most?

Aladdin: Well, there's this girl.

Genie: Wrong. I can't make anybody fall in love, remember?

Aladdin: Oh, but, Genie, she's smart and fun and...

Genie: Pretty?

Aladdin: Beautiful. She's got these eyes that just, and this hair. Wow. And her smile... [sighs]

Genie: Ami... C'est l'amour.

Aladdin: But she's the princess. To even have a chance, I'd have to be... Hey, can you make me a prince?

Genie: Let's see here. Chicken à la king? Nope. Alaskan king crab. Ow! I hate it when they do that. Caesar salad. Ah! Et tu, Brute? No! Aha! "To make a prince." Is that an official wish? Say the magic words.

Aladdin: Genie, I wish for you to make me a prince.

Genie: All right! Yo, yo! Woof! Woof! First, that fez-and-vest combo is much too third century. These patches. What are we trying to say, beggar? No. Let's work with me here. Ooh. I like it. Muy macho. Now, it still needs something. What does it say to me? It says mode of transportation. Excuse me, monkey boy. Aqui. Over here.

Abu: Uh-oh.

Genie: Here he comes. What better way to make your entrance on the streets of Agrabah then riding your very own brand-new camel. Watch out. They spit. Mmm. Not enough. Still not enough. Let's see. What do you need? What do you need? Yes! Esalalumbo shimin Dumbo. Whoa!

[trumpets]

Genie: Talk about your trunk space. Check this action out.

[trumpets]

[frightened monkey noises]

Prince Ali: Abu, you look good.

Genie: He's got the outfit, he's got the elephant. But we're not through yet! Hang on to your turban, kid! We're gonna make you a star!
