SCENE 15

Prince Ali: Princess Jasmine?

[growling]

Jasmine: Who's there?

Prince Ali: It's me, Prince Ali. Ahem. Uh, Prince Ali Ababwa.

Jasmine: I do not want to see you.

Prince Ali: No, no, please, Princess. Give me a chance.

Jasmine: Just leave me alone.

Prince Ali: Down, kitty.

Genie: So, how's your little beau doing?

Prince Ali: Good kitty, take off.

[Rajah growling]

Prince Ali: Down, kitty.

Jasmine: Wait. Wait. Do I know you?

Prince Ali: Uh, no. No.

Jasmine: You remind me of someone I met in the marketplace.

Prince Ali: The marketplace? I have servants who go to the marketplace for me. Why, I even have servants who go to the marketplace for my servants. So. I couldn't have been me you met.

Jasmine: No. I guess not.

Genie: Enough about you, Casanova. Talk about her. She's smart, fun, the hair, the eyes. Anything. Pick a feature.

Prince Ali: Ahem. Uh, Princess Jasmine? You're very...

Genie: Wonderful, magnificent, punctual.

Prince Ali: ...punctual.

Jasmine: Punctual?

Genie: Sorry.

Prince Ali: Uh, beautiful.

Genie: Nice recovery.

Jasmine: Hmm. I'm rich, too, you know.

Prince Ali: Yeah.

Jasmine: The daughter of a sultan.

Prince Ali: I know.

Jasmine: A fine prize for any prince to marry.

Prince Ali: Uh, right. Right. A prince like me.

Genie: Warning! Warning!

Jasmine: Right. A prince like you. And every other stuffed shirt, swaggering peacock I've met.

Genie: Mayday! Mayday!

Jasmine: Just go jump off a balcony!

Prince Ali: What?

Genie: Stop her. Stop her! Want me to sting her?

Prince Ali: Buzz off.

Genie: Okay, fine. But remember, "bee" yourself.

Prince Ali: Yeah, right.

Jasmine: What?

Prince Ali: Uh... Uh, you're right. [sighs] You aren't just some prize to be won. You should be free to make your own choice. I'll go now.

Jasmine: No!

Prince Ali: What? What?

Jasmine: How... How are you doing that?

Prince Ali: It's a magic carpet.

Jasmine: It's lovely.

[The carpet "kisses" her hand]

Prince Ali: You, uh... You don't want to go for a ride, do you? We could get put of the palace, see the world.

Jasmine: Is it safe?

Prince Ali: Sure. Do you trust me?

Jasmine: What?

Prince Ali: Do you trust me?

Jasmine: Yes.
