Aladdin 2019

Look, over there!

Lian:
Wow! Their ship is so big.

Omar:
Wish ours was that fancy.

Lian:
I'd be so happy if ours was that fancy cause then...

Peddler:
Why is that? 'Cause is looks better? This boat has seen us through many storms. It may not look like much but, it has something theirs never will

Omar:
What? Wood rot and rats?

Dalia:
Are the children learning something, dear?

Peddler:
It is unclear. All right, sit, children. I think it's time that I told you the story of Aladdin, the Princess, and the lamp.

Lian:
What's so special about a lamp?

Peddler:
Oh, this is a magic lamp.

Lian:
Maybe if you sing.

Omar:
It's better when you sing.

Peddler:
No, no. No singing. It's been a long day.

**Start song:
Arabian night**

Peddler:
Oh, imagine a land

It's a faraway place

Where the caravan camels roam

Where you wander among every culture and tongue

It's chaotic, but hey, it's home.

When the wind's from the east and the sun's from the west

And the sand in the glass is right

Come on down, stop on by

Hop a carpet and fly

To another Arabian night

As you wind through the streets

At the fabled bazaars

With the cardamom-cluttered stalls

You can smell every spice

While you haggle the price

Of the silks and the satin shawls

Oh, the music that plays

As you move through a maze

In the haze of your pure delight You are caught in a dance

You are lost in the trance

Of another Arabian night

Arabian nights

Like Arabian days

More often than not

Are hotter than hot In a lot of good ways

Arabian nights

Like Arabian dreams

This mystical land

Of magic and sand

Is more than it seems

There’s a road that may lead you

To good or to greed through

The power your wishing commands

Let the darkness unfold

Or find fortunes untold

Well, your destiny lies in your hands

Cave Of Wonders:
Only one may enter here. One whose worth lies far within. A diamond in the rough.

Peddler:
Arabian nights

Like Arabian days

They seem to excite

Take off and take flight

To shock and amaze

Cave of Wonders:
Seek me out. The diamond in the rough.

Peddler:
Arabian nights

'Neath Arabian moons

A fool off his guard

Could fall and fall hard

Out there on the dunes

Women 1:
What's your monkey's name?

Aladdin:
Abu.

Women 1:
He's a lovely monkey.

Aladdin:
Mm, that's a lovely necklace.

Women 1:
So, where does Abu come from?

Aladdin:
He, uh... Oh! I think this... belongs to me. Good day, ladies. Okay. How'd we do, Abu? Good monkey.

Zulla:
Stop right there, Aladdin. Whatever it is you stole today, I don't want it.

Aladdin:
Whoa, whoa, I didn't steal anything. It's a family heirloom that's worth a lot of...

Zulla:
I'll give you a bag of dates for it, nothing more.

Aladdin:
Zulla, we both know it's worth at least three bags.

Zulla:
Take a bag of dates and get out!

Aladdin:
Here you go, Abu. Shh. Hello. Hi. -

Jasmine:
Are you hungry?

Children:
Mm-hmm.

Jasmine:
Here, take some bread.

Jamal:
Hey. Hey! You steal from my brother.

Jasmine:
Stealing? No, I...

Jamal:
You pay or I take bracelet.

Jasmine:
Sir, I don't have any money. Let go of me! No.

Aladdin:
Take it easy, Jamal.

Jamal:
Khalil walks away from the stall, and this one... this one... she steal the bread!

Jasmine:
Those children were hungry! I...

Aladdin:
Okay, give me a minute.

Jamal:
You keep your little street rat nose out of it! Huh?

Aladdin:
Do you have any money?

Jasmine:
No!

Aladdin:
Okay. Trust me. Here you go.

Jasmine:
Wait!

Aladdin:
This is what you wanted, right?

Jamal:
Eh! Thank you.

Aladdin:
Okay, and an apple for your troubles. Nice. -

Jasmine:
That was m... I'm not leaving without my bracelet!

Aladdin:
You mean, this bracelet? Come on.

Jamal:
Nay nay nay na-na-nay Nay nay nay na-na-nay Nay nay nay nay nay... Aladdin! Thief, Aladdin!

Jasmine:
Are we in trouble?

Aladdin:
Only if you get caught.

Jamal:
Aladdin!

Aladdin:
Down that alley. Monkey knows the way. Abu. Cute butt. You'll be fine. -

Jamal:
Over there! Hey, you!

Aladdin:
You looking for this, Jamal?

Jamal:
Aladdin, you street rat!

**Start song:
One Jump Ahead**

Aladdin:
Gotta keep

One jump ahead of the bread line

One swing ahead of the sword

I steal only what I can't afford Stop!

And that's everything

One jump ahead of the lawmen

That's all, and that's no joke

These guys don't appreciate I'm broke

Guards:
Riffraff! Street rat! Scoundrel! Take that!

Aladdin:
Try a different tact, guys

Guards:
Rip him open 'Round the back, guys

Aladdin:
I can take a hint

Gotta face the facts

Could really use a friend or two

Women:
Oh, it's sad, Aladdin's hit the bottom

He's become a one-man rise in crime

Woman:
I'd blame parents, 'cept he hasn't got 'em

Aladdin:
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Tell you all about it when I got the time Hey!

Jasmine:
There are stairs, you know.

Aladdin:
Where's the fun in that?

One jump ahead of the slowpokes

One skip ahead of my doom

Next time gonna use a nom de plume

Hey, get back here!

One jump ahead of the hitmen

One hit ahead of the flock

I think I'll take a stroll around the block

Crowd:
Stop thief!

Crowd:
Vandal!

Aladdin:
Abu!

Crowd:
Scoundrel!

Aladdin:
Let's not be too hasty

Lady:
Still I think he's rather tasty

Aladdin:
Gotta eat to live, gotta steal to eat Otherwise we'd get along

Guards:
Wrong! No, no, no, no!

Aladdin, Together on three.

Jasmine:
Together on three?

Aladdin:
We jump.

Jasmine:
We jump?

Aladdin:
Why are you repeating everything I say? The pole. One, two, three!

Jasmine:
Sorry! I can't.

Aladdin:
Look at me. Look at me. You... can do this.

Jasmine:
Oh. Oh.

Aladdin:
Nicely done.

Jasmine:
Thank you.

Aladdin:
One jump ahead of the hoofbeats

One hop ahead of the hump

One trick ahead of disaster

They're quick, but I'm much faster

Here goes

Better throw my hand in

Wish me happy landing

All I gotta do is jump!

Jasmine:
Oh, dear.

Aladdin:
Come on. I know somewhere we'll be safe.

Iago:
Here comes the Master.

Jafar:
You bring me the rough but never a diamond. Take them away.

Iago:
Take them away.

Prisoner:
Majazeer, perhaps this diamond in the rough does not exist.

Jafar:
He is out there.

Prisoner:
But we've searched for months. I do not understand what could possibly be in that cave that could help a man as great as you. You are already second only to the Sultan.

Iago:
Second! Uh-oh. Who's in trouble now?

Jafar:
And you think second is enough?

Prisoner:
Of course. You were not born to be sultan.

Iago:
Not smart.

Jafar:
Do you know what I had to do to get the power that I have? The sacrifices that I've made? The bodies that I've buried? The five years spent in a Sherabad jail? People need to understand that they will pay for underestimating me. Second is not enough! And it will never be enough! That's why I need the lamp. And why I no longer need you!
