ALADDIN

ALADDIN: Yeah, right!

JASMINE: What!?!

ALADDIN: Uh, you're right. You aren't just some prize to be

won. (He looks disappointed.) You should be free

to make your own choice. (JASMINE and RAJAH look

at each other in confusion.) I'll go now. (He

steps up on the ledge and drops off.)

JASMINE: No!

ALADDIN: (Pokes his head up from over the edge) What? What?

JASMINE: (Now she's amazed) How--how are you doing that?

(She looks over the edge and sees the CARPET.)

ALADDIN: It's a magic carpet.

JASMINE: It's lovely. (CARPET takes JASMINE's hand with a

tassel.)

ALADDIN: You, uh, you don't want to go for a ride, do you?

We could get out of the palace, see the world.

JASMINE: Is it safe?

ALADDIN: Sure. Do you trust me?

JASMINE: (She looks at him at the saying of that all-

important line) What?

ALADDIN: (Extends his hand the same as before) Do you trust

me?

JASMINE: (Gets a sly grin on her face) Yes.

(She takes his hand and gets up on CARPET. It zooms into the sky,

knocking them both into sitting positions. The music of "A Whole

New World" swells. JASMINE looks back and sees RAJAH looking

up at her questioningly. She gasps as they fly over the palace

wall and into the sky.)

ALADDIN: I can show you the world

Shining, shimmering, splendid.

Tell me princess, now when did you last

Let your heart decide?

(CARPET zooms down through the town, stopping slightly to pick a

flower. It gives the flower to ALADDIN, who gives it to JASMINE.

She smiles.)

I can open your eyes

Take you wonder by wonder

Over, sideways, and under

On a magic carpet ride

(CARPET does as ALADDIN sings, then zooms into the clouds.)

A whole new world!

A new fantastic point of view

No one to tell us no

Or where to go

Or say we're only dreaming

(JASMINE looks back and watches Agrabah disappear from sight. CARPET

flies in and out of the clouds.)

JASMINE: A whole new world

A dazzling place I never knew

But when I'm way up here

It's crystal clear

That now I'm in a whole new world with you!

ALADDIN: Now I'm in a whole new world with you!

(They each catch a small cloud as CARPET continues the flight. It

then circles a pillar of clouds, giving a swirly look to it.)

JASMINE: Unbelievable sights

Indescribable feeling

Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling

Through an endless diamond sky

(They join a flock of birds in the sky. One of them looks terrified

and squawks. CARPET does somersaults and flips, at times putting

ALADDIN and JASMINE in free-fall, but catching them. They then

zoom above the clouds where a starry night awaits them.)

JASMINE: A whole new world!

ALADDIN: Don't you dare close your eyes

JASMINE: An hundred thousand things to see

ALADDIN: Hold your breath--it gets better!

JASMINE: I'm like a shooting star,

I've come so far

I can't go back to where I used to be!

(They zoom down over a river, apparently the Nile, for beyond the

ship's sails are the Great Pyramids. They wave at a worker

sculpting the complete nose of the Sphinx. He smiles, but

chisels too much and breaks off the front section of the nose.)

ALADDIN: A whole new world!

JASMINE: Every turn a surprise

ALADDIN: With new horizons to pursue

JASMINE: Every moment, red-letter

(They fly alongside wild horses running. JASMINE pets one of them.)

BOTH: I'll chase them anywhere

There's time to spare

Let me share this whole new world with you

A whole new world

That's where we'll be

(They fly through Greece, where ALADDIN grabs an apple from a

tree and rolls it down his arm to JASMINE, who is now sure

she is dealing with ALADDIN, not PRINCE ALI.)

ALADDIN: A thrilling chase

JASMINE: A wondrous place

BOTH: For you and me!

(CARPET hovers along over a lake, and we see the reflection of

the moon in the lake. Fireworks burst and we see the couple

at a Chinese New Year celebration, sitting on a rooftop.)

JASMINE: It's all so magical.

ALADDIN: Yeah.

JASMINE: (She looks at him and decides to burst the bubble)

It's a shame Abu had to miss this.

ALADDIN: Nah. He hates fireworks. (CARPET looks up

realizing what is happening.) He doesn't really

like flying either. (And now ALADDIN realizes it)

That is...oh no!

JASMINE: (She pulls off his turban) You are the boy from the

market! I knew it. Why did you lie to me?

ALADDIN: Jasmine, I'm sorry.

JASMINE: Did you think I was stupid?

ALADDIN: No!

JASMINE: That I wouldn't figure it out?

ALADDIN: No. I mean, I hoped you wouldn't. No, that's not

what I meant.

JASMINE: Who are you? Tell me the truth!

ALADDIN: The truth? (He looks at CARPET who wave him on,

giving up hope.) The truth...the truth is...I

sometimes dress as a commoner to escape the

pressures of palace life. (CARPET slumps down in

defeat.) But I really am a prince! (The feather on

his turban falls down over his eyes.)

JASMINE: Why didn't you just tell me?

ALADDIN: Well, you know, um...royalty going out into the

city in disguise, it sounds a little strange,

don't you think?

JASMINE: Not that strange.

(She flicks up the feather and cuddles with him. CARPET puts a

tassel under his "chin" and looks mystified. Dissolve to ext.

of palace balcony, where ALADDIN and JASMINE return. CARPET

forms a set of steps and she descends. ALADDIN then descends

just below the balcony.)

JASMINE: Good night, my handsome prince.

ALADDIN: Sleep well, princess.

(They slowly lean forward to kiss, but CARPET bumps him up and they

kiss sooner than expected. She walks away slowly then turns and

looks at him. Finally she enters her room through the curtain.)

ALADDIN: Yes! (He falls back onto the CARPET, who descends

to the ground.) For the first time in my life,

things are starting to go right.

(He looks up at JASMINE's balcony, and four sets of hands grab him.)

ALADDIN: Hey! What? (A gag is tied around his mouth.

Muffled words) Abu! Abu! (We see the elephant

hanging from a net tied in a tree.)

GUARD: Hold him!

(Shackles are placed on his feet and his hands. Another GUARD ties

CARPET in a knot around a tree.)

JAFAR: I'm afraid you've worn out your welcome, Prince

Abooboo. (Walks away.) Make sure he's

never found.

(A GUARD hits him in the head, and he falls unconscious. Cut to a

cliff, where GUARDS laugh as ALADDIN's body drops into the water.

He is conscious now, but his feet are tied to a rock. The rock

hits the sea bottom, then the turban lands and the lamp tumbles

out. He sees this and struggles to rub the lamp. However, he

loses consciousness and falls to the floor. The lamp, unsettled

by his movement, rolls down and rubs against his hands. It shakes,

and GENIE emerges with a bath brush, rubber duckie, and shower cap)

GENIE: Never fails. Get in the bath and there's a rub at

the lamp. (Squeaks the duck) Hello. (Sees

unconscious ALADDIN) Al? Al! Kid, snap out of it!

You can't cheat on this one! I can't help you

unless you make a wish. You have to say "Genie I

want you to save my life." Got it? Okay. C'mon

Aladdin!! (He grabs ALADDIN by the shoulders and
