Kazaam Page #6

Synopsis: Being a lone young boy in the 'hood" is dangerous and unpleasant. This is what Max experiences when he fools a gang of local toughs who cornered him at school. The gang finds out that the key he gave them is of no value in committing a robbery, and they chase him through the streets of his neighborhood, bent on revenge. He tries to escape by slipping into the open door of an old warehouse, but they follow him there, too. While running from them through aisles filled with all kinds of stuff, he bumps into an old boom box. By doing that, he manages to release Kazaam, a genie who has been held captive for thousands of years. In order to stay free, Kazaam must give Max three wishes.

You don't get it, do you?

Look, look,

look what you have!

Do you know how jealous

you are making me? Huh? Huh?

- I'm just telling my story.

- No, it's much more.

You are--

You have a--

There is an ancient phrase.

''Sultan's gold.''

You speak!

Uh, you know--

You are

the ''sultan's gold''!

You got two minutes.

My box!

- Where's my box?

- Don't worry about the little things.

- Listen.

- We want more!

Your public calls.

Trust me.

This is my world.

Right now,you are

the biggest part of it.

My sultan's gold...

lives in a genie's lamp.

- Get outta here!

- Dad, what happened?

Go! Go!

- At long last.

Look familiar?

Your father's been

very modest...

about your

accomplishments, Max.

That's right. I've got the box,

and you're on your last wish.

Look, Malik, let's stop

playing these games.

I don't know what you're talking

about, and neither does he.

You can't keep all

these secrets from me.

You got your tape.

He's just a boy!

Dad! What are you doing?

You can't--

Make the wish,

I get the genie.

And everything

my heart desires!

And if you

try anything clever...

Dearly beloved Nick...

will wake up...

dead.

Klass K! Klass K! Klass K!

Klass K! Klass K!

Your third wish

will be, quote:

''I want Malik to have all

the money in the world.''

Don't you see, I wished for that, but you

can't do that. Because if you do that...

the rest of the world goes broke

and money isn't worth anything!

Then I'll take all the money

and give some of it back!

Make my wish now!

I can't! I can't just say,

''Hey, Kazaam, I need your help,''

and he'll appear

right in front of me.

I can't just say, ''Kazaam!''

Let's get busy, K!

Make the wish...

or your father will die.

I count to three.

One, two, three!

#Trapped in a box #

# Like a premature burial #

- # Used to mull in the space cemeterial #

- Get outta here!

Get out! Get out!

# Suffered a curse

That was more than malarial #

# Lived as a ghost

Granted wishes material #

# Served every Tom, Dick

and Harrial #

Help!

- Run!

- What are we gonna do?

Come on! To the right! To the right!

- Stay over here!

Stay over here!

Look out!

#And if you think that's bad

Here's my age #

# Oh, square octogenarial #

# Been there, done that

He's seen it all #

#From the river Nile

to the hills of Nepal #

#Painted with Picasso

and dined with kings #

# Had a lot of riches

and material things #

What is this place?

- Shh!

- Let's go this way.

Oh, here they come.

- Come on! Come on!

- We lost them!

- We can't find--

- Go left! Go left!

# So I peeled that spiel

Got real with the new meal #

# Sucking life down

Like a cutlet of veal #

What are we gonna do?

- All right, wait here.

- What are these?

Black market CDs.

Let's go.

Dad, look out!

Let's run for it!

Go! Go!

#Mystical and him, well, magical #

#Mr. Material

Eat no cereal #

# Man, way mystical

and him, well, magical #

#Magical, magical #

I'm the one with the power.

I'm the one with the genie.

Kazaam, he's my genie.

And as long as I'm standing here,

he'll do whatever I tell him to.

# One snap of my fingers,

Get a scoop of Ben and Jerrial #

# Living so rich

Better watch my arterials #

# Don't get me down with those

thoughts of ethereal #

# I know who I am #

Then I guess

my only problem is...

that you are still standing!

# I'm-- #

Kazaam!

#He's Mr. Material #

# They say he's ethereal

Oh, Mr.-- ##

It worked!

Now...

be a good genie...

and get into the box.

- I don't understand.

- You've been called.

Where's Max?

Max...

has terminated

your contract.

You have a new master.

Now... hop, hop.

- But I haven't granted

his third wish yet.

Trust me, he won't be

asking for any more.

What'd you do with him?

It's begun.

- Ooh!

- No.

Yes.

- His head

still looks thick.

Not all there,

Klass K? Huh?

Come on!

Oh!

Come on!

You can't hurt me.

I am your master!

- What?

- I'll never be your slave!

Now... where's Max?

Uh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

He fell down the shaft!

- What?

- There was nothing that I could do!

Put me down.

I'm afraid of heights.

Wish not granted.

Ooh! Ahh!

Yeah, that's okay over there.

Bring it over there.

Come on, let's move it aside.

- Get those things moved off to the side,

all right? Over there. - Max, Max, Max --

Lady. Lady, where you goin'?

Now you can't go in there.

I think my son's in there.

- You can't go-- - I

think that my son is in--

Lady, you can't go in there.

Okay, look, I need to

find Travis. He's a fireman.

- Travis?

- Travis O'Neil.

Travis O'Neil

is in there.

Hey, tough guy.

No!

In 5,000 years...

you're the only friend

I've ever had.

And when you

needed me the most...

I wasn't there.

And if I had to spend

another 5,000 years...

in a lamp, a compass...

or even that stupid boom box...

I wouldn't care.

I just wish...

I could have granted

your wish.

I wish I could have

filled your heart.

You-- You are

the sultan's gold, Max.

I--

I am Kazaam.

Do you have to shine

that in my eyes?

You're alive!

You're alive!

Put me down, put me down!

I made a wish,

and I granted it!

- Put me down!

- You're alive!

What was that?

What's happening?

I don't know. This has

never happened before.

You're leaving.

You can't. I haven't

made my third wish yet.

But you did. You wished for a

second chance for your father.

- But wait, I-- - It was a perfect

wish. It was a wish from your heart.

- And now it's done. - But--

No, you don't understand!

- What's happening to you?

- I don't know. I just feel--

I feel...

free!

You-- You're--

- You--

- I'm djinn...

and I'm free.

No.

- Kazaam... you can't.

- You don't need me anymore.

- Don't go!

- In our hearts, we're all djinn...

- and we're all free.

- Kazaam, you can't.

Don't leave me.

- The power...

is in... your heart.

I make a grab like that and you

don't even say, ''nice save''?

- What happened?

- Let's go.

- Max? Is he okay?

- Yeah.

Is he all right?

Max, are you okay?

Max! Oh!

You're all right.

You did okay.

- Travis, get him a blanket?

- Sure.

I was in the building

and Kazaam...

- he was there and he took me...

- Okay, okay. Okay, Max.

- And he flew and then he-- -

It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

I got you now.

Okay? It's okay.

I don't know what happened.

All of a sudden, I was free.

Your friend was there.

He said something

about a second chance.

You're a good kid, Max.

You got a good heart.

Look, there's a few things

I gotta take care of.

- Some people I owe.

Excuse me.

Is there a Nick Matteo here?

That'd be me.

Would you just

give me a minute?

Look, when I come back,

I'd like to see you.

We can get together and,

I don't know...

get a couple rods

and go fishing.

Sounds like a plan to me.

If that's all right

with you.

Thanks.

Are you okay

with this, Max?

- Hey, Mom.

- Yeah?

- Can we go home now?

- Sure we can.

- Come on.

- Hey!

You coming or what?

You talkin' to me?

Okay.

- Are you sure you want to marry this guy?
