Aladdin Page #2

the use of the mystic blue diamond.

My ring?

- But it's been in the family for years.

- lt is necessary to find a suitor.

Don't worry.

Everything will be fine.

Everything will be... fine.

The diamond.

Here, Jafar.

Whatever you need will be fine.

You are most gracious, my liege.

Now run along

and play with your little toys.

That will be pretty good.

l can't take it anymore.

lf l gotta choke down on one more

of those moldy, disgusting crackers...

Calm yourself, lago.

Soon l will be sultan,

not that addle-pated twit.

And then l stuff the crackers

down his throat.

l'm sorry, Rajah.

But l can't stay here

and have my life lived for me.

l'll miss you.

Goodbye.

Oranges from Jaffa.

Ok, Abu. Go.

Try this. Your taste buds

will dance and sing.

Get your paws off that.

Why, you... Get away from here,

you cursed, filthy ape.

Bye-bye.

Nice going Abu.

Breakfast is served.

Pretty lady, buy a pot.

No finer pot in brass or silver.

Sugar dates. Sugar dates and figs.

Sugar dates and pistachios.

Would the lady like a necklace?

A pretty necklace for a pretty lady.

Fresh fish. We catch 'em, you buy them.

No. l don't think so.

Excuse me.

l'm really very sorry.

Hello?

You must be hungry.

- Here you go.

- You'd better be able to pay for that.

- Pay?

- No one steals from my cart.

l'm sorry, sir.

l don't have any money.

- Thief!

- Please.

lf you let me go to the palace,

l can get some from the sultan.

Do you know what

the penalty is for stealing?

No, please.

Thank you, kind sir.

l'm so glad you found her.

- l've been looking for you.

- What are you doing?

- Just play along.

- You know this girl?

Sadly, yes. She is my sister.

- She's a little crazy.

- She said she knew the sultan.

She thinks the monkey

is the sultan.

O wise Sultan, how may l serve you?

Tragic, isn't it?

But no harm done.

Come along, sis.

Time to go see the doctor.

- Hello, doctor. How are you?

- No, not that one.

Come on, Sultan.

What is it?

Come back here, you little thieves.

With all due respect,

Your Rottenness,

couldn't we just wait

for a real storm?

Save your breath, lago. Faster.

Yes, oh mighty evil one.

Part, sands of time.

Reveal to me the one

who can enter the cave.

Yes.

There he is.

My diamond in the rough.

That's him? That's the clown

we've been waiting for?

Let's have the guards extend him

an invitation to the palace.

- Shall we?

- Swell.

Almost there.

l want to thank you

for stopping that man.

Forget it.

So this is your first time

in the marketplace, huh?

ls it that obvious?

Well, you do kind of stand out.

l mean, you don't seem to know

how dangerous Agrabah can be.

l'm a fast learner.

Come on. This way.

Watch your head there.

Be careful.

- ls this where you live?

- Yep. Just me and Abu.

- Come and go as we please.

- That sounds fabulous.

Well, it's not much.

But it's got a great view.

The palace looks pretty amazing, huh?

lt's wonderful.

Wonder what it'd be like to live there.

And have servants and valets.

Oh, sure. People who tell you

where to go and how to dress.

That's better than here. Always

scraping for food and ducking guards.

You're not free

to make your own choices.

- Sometimes you feel so...

- You're just...

trapped.

So where are you from?

What does it matter?

l ran away and l am not going back.

Really? How come?

Why, you...

My father's forcing me

to get married.

That's awful.

What?

Abu says...

that's not fair.

- Oh, did he?

- Yeah. Of course.

And does Abu

have anything else to say?

He wishes there was something

he could do to help.

Oh, boy.

Tell him that's very sweet.

Here you are.

They're after me. They're after you?

- My father must have sent them...

- Do you trust me?

- What?

- Do you trust me?

- Yes.

- Then jump!

We just keep running into each other,

don't we, street rat?

Run. Go, get out of here.

lt's the dungeon for you, boy.

- Get off.

- Let him go.

Looky here, men.

A street mouse.

Unhand him.

By order of the princess.

- Princess Jasmine.

- The princess?

What are you doing here?

And with this street rat?

That's not your concern.

Do as l command. Release him.

l would, Princess.

Except my orders come from Jafar.

- You'll have to take it up with him.

- Believe me, l will.

Jafar?

Princess.

- Jafar, l'm stuck.

- How may l be of service to you?

The guards took a boy from the market.

On your orders.

Your father has charged me

with keeping peace in Agrabah.

- The boy was a criminal.

- What was his crime?

- l can't breathe.

- Why...

- kidnapping the princess, of course.

- lf you could just... That hurt!

He didn't kidnap me.

l ran away.

Oh, dear.

How frightfully upsetting.

Had l but known...

What do you mean?

Sadly, the boy's sentence

has already been carried out.

- What sentence?

- Death.

- By beheading.

- No.

l am exceedingly sorry, Princess.

How could you?

So. How did it go?

l think she took it rather well.

lt's all my fault, Rajah.

l didn't even know his name.

She was the princess.

l can't believe it.

l must have sounded

so stupid to her.

Abu, down here.

Come on, help me out of these.

She was in trouble.

She was worth it.

Don't worry, l'll never see her again.

l'm a street rat, remember,

and there's a law.

She's got to marry a prince.

She deserves a prince.

l'm a fool.

You're only a fool

if you give up, boy.

- Who are you?

- A lowly prisoner like yourself.

But together perhaps we can be more.

- l'm listening.

- There is a cave, boy.

A cave of wonders,

filled with treasures

beyond your wildest dreams.

Treasure enough to impress even

your princess, l'd wager.

Jafar, can you hurry up?

l'm dying in here.

But the law says that

only a prince...

Haven't you heard

of the golden rule?

Whoever has the gold

makes the rules.

So why would you share

this treasure with me?

l need a young pair of legs

and a strong back to go in after it.

One problem.

lt's out there and we're in here.

Things aren't always what they seem.

So. Do we have a deal?

Who disturbs my slumber?

lt is l. Aladdin.

Proceed.

Touch nothing but the lamp.

Remember, boy.

First fetch me the lamp.

And then you shall have your reward.

Come on, Abu.

Would you look at that!

Just a handful of this stuff

would make me richer than the sultan.

Don't touch anything.

We got to find that lamp.

Will you knock it off?

Are you crazy?

A magic carpet.

Come on out.

We're not going to hurt you.

Take it easy.

He's not going to bite.

Thanks.

Wait a minute, don't go.

Maybe you can help us.

You see, we're trying

to find this lamp.

l think he knows where it is.

Wait here.

This is it?

This is what we came

all the way down here to...

No!

lnfidels.

You have touched the forbidden treasure.

Now you will never again

see the light of day.

Carpet, let's move.

This is no time to panic.

Start panicking.

- Help me up.

- Throw me the lamp.

l can't hold on.

Give me your hand.

First give me the lamp.

Yes!
