Editing Ash's Adventures of Aladdin/Transcript (section)

== Aladdin's argument with Genie ==

(Jafar, Iago, and Team Rocket take refuge in the secret chamber.)

Iago: (panickingly) We gotta get outta here! We gotta get-- I gotta start packing, your highness. Only essentials (starts throwing things out of his cage. Jafar smiles broadly.) Travel light! Bring the guns, the weapons, the knives (Stops and takes out a picture of himself and Jafar) and, uh, how about this picture? I don't know--I think I'm making a weird face in it.

Jafar: (laughs wildly)

Meowth: Uh,... Jafar?

Jessie: Okay, what's with the crazy laughter?

James: You know? I think he's lost it.

Iago: Oh, boy-- You're right. He's cracked. He's gone nuts. (Iago flies down to him and knocks on his head.) Jafar! Jafar! Get a grip! (Jafar grabs him around the neck) Good grip!

Jafar: Prince Ali is nothing more than that ragged urchin, Aladdin! He has the lamp, my friends. 

Meowth: You mean this whole time that street rat had the lamp all along?!

Jessie: And if Prince Ali is that ragged, filthy, street rat, Aladdin, then that means that... (growls) Those stupid, meddling twerps! They're sabotaging your entire plan!

James: Why didn't we realize it sooner?!

Iago: (enraged about Aladdin) Why that miserable...!

Jafar: But you are going to relieve him of it, Iago!

Iago: Me?

Jafar: Which means you will be going with Iago to steal the lamp from the street rat and his friends, Meowth.

Meowth: What? Me?

James: But Jafar, what about the twerps?

Jessie: Yeah! Now that we know about their meddling, what are you going to do with them?

Jafar: Oh, don't you worry. They won't be interfering for long. Because I've got a better idea.

(The scene changes to the palace gardens where Aladdin felt sad.)

Aladdin: Sultan? They want me to be sultan?

(Genie comes out.)

Genie: Huzzah! (singing) Hail the conquering hero! (changes into a headband)

(But a sad Aladdin walks into the room. Genie noticed Aladdin upset.)

Genie: Aladdin, you've just won the heart of the princess. What are you gonna do next?

(Aladdin doesn't answer then he placed his turban and the lamp on the bed as he sighs.)

Genie: (whispers) Psst! Your line is "I'm going to free the genie, anytime."

Aladdin: Genie, I can't.

Genie: Sure, you can. You just go (moves Aladdin's face like a ventriloquist puppet) "Genie, I wish you're free."

Aladdin: (pushes Genie off of him) I'm serious! Look, I'm sorry, I really am. But they wanna make me sultan. No! They wanna make Prince Ali sultan. Without you, I'm just Aladdin.

Genie: Al, you won!

Aladdin: Because of you! The only reason anyone thinks I'm worth anything is because of you! What if they find out I'm not really a prince? What if Jasmine finds out? I'll lose her. Genie, I-I can't keep this up on my own. I-I can't wish you free.

Genie: (hurt) Fine, I understand. After all, you've lied to everyone else. Hey, I was beginning to feel left out. Now, if you'll excuse me, master. (poofs back into the lamp)

(Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock feel disappointed in him for going back on his promise. Abu also reacts in disappointment.)

Aladdin: Genie, I'm really sorry. (but Genie blows a raspberry at him) Well, fine! (slams a pillow on top of the lamp) Then just stay in there! (to a scared Abu and Carpet) What are you guys lookin' at?! (They both look sad and leave) Look, I... I-I'm sorr--A-Abu, I'm sorry. I didn't... wait. Come on!

(Ash and his friends look at each other in sadness.)

Ash Ketchum: (sighs) I can't believe I'm saying this, but, Aladdin, I'm done with this little charade of yours.

Brock: Yeah, me too.

Misty: Same here.

Pikachu: Pika.

Aladdin: What? You too? But what about Jasmine? Don't you care about how she feels if I reveal myself to her?!

Ash Ketchum: It doesn't matter how she feels, Aladdin! You lied to her and to everyone else! And you broke a promise to Genie!

Misty: He made you into a prince so that you could fulfill his wish for freedom, Aladdin! He did this because he counted on you!

Aladdin: But-but, I-I-I...

Brock: This was important to him, and you knew that! He sacrificed everything for this! For you! All so that he could be free! But what did you do for him in return?! You chose to go back on your promise as if it mattered nothing to you! You did that instead of honoring it for him!

Misty: Not to mention the fact on how you've lied yourself into the palace by impersonating something you're not!

Aladdin: But it was the only way for me to see her again and to be with her once more! Why can't any of you see that?!

Ash Ketchum: Because that is not how love works, Aladdin!

Pikachu: (angrily) PIKACHU!!

(Aladdin gasps in horror at this sudden revelation. Ash and his friends glare angrily at Aladdin for a brief moment before calming down a bit from their anger.)

Misty: (sadly) Aladdin, they may call you a prince. But that doesn't make you who you are. If you truly love Princess Jasmine, you have to tell her the truth. It's not fair to her and to us. All of what happened is your own fault.

Brock: (sadly) To think, we were starting to believe that you were actually a nice guy. But now, we regret to have even met you.

Ash Ketchum: (sadly) Maybe Prince Achmed and everyone else were right. You are nothing but a worthless street rat. And you always will be. (sighs) I'm sorry, Aladdin, but from now on, we're no longer helping you. You're on your own. (to Misty and Brock) Come on, guys, we're outta here.

(They turn away with tears in their eyes and prepare to leave Agrabah without even saying goodbye to Aladdin and Princess Jasmine.)

Aladdin: (remorseful for what he's done) No, no, guys, come on! Ash, Misty, Brock! Wait! Don't go! Please!

(Ash and his friends ignore Aladdin's pleas.)

Pikachu: (pauses, turns around and sparks electricity in anger) Pika...! (runs over and slaps Aladdin's face with his tail) Pi! (angrily) Pikachu! (kicks some dust with his hindlegs and runs back to Ash)

(Aladdin is now all alone.)

Aladdin: (sighs in remorse) What am I doing? (sighs) They're right. I... I-I gotta tell Jasmine the truth.

Jasmine: (V.O.) Ali? Oh, Ali, will you come here?

Aladdin: (sighs) Well, here goes. (comes out) Jasmine, where are you?

(It turns out to be Iago who is imitating Jasmine while using stilts and wearing a flamingo beak.)

Iago: Ahem! (Jasmine's voice) Out in the menagerie, hurry.

Aladdin: I'm coming! (leaves the room)

Iago: (giggles; to the flamingo) Ya gotta problem, Pinky?! (whacks the flamingo into the pond) Jerk.

Ash Ketchum: (hears the splash) Hmm?

Pikachu: Pika?

Meowth: Alright. The coast's clear. Now, let's go nab that lamp and get it to Jafar on the double.

Iago: Okie-dokie! (laughs as he enters the room and snatches the lamp under the pillow)

Ash Ketchum: Uh, guys, you go on ahead. I'll catch up.

Brock: Ash?

Misty: Where are you going?

Ash Ketchum: I'm just gonna investigate something. I'll be right back, okay?

Brock: Well,... okay.

Misty: Don't be long.

Ash Ketchum: And guys, if you run into Jasmine on the way out, please tell her the truth about Aladdin, okay?

Misty & Brock: Sure.

Ash Ketchum: Thanks.

(Ash and Pikachu walk back to the bedroom and peak in to see what's happening.)

Iago: Boy, Jafar's gonna be happy to see you! (imitates Jafar) Excellent work, Iago! (normal voice) Aw, go on! (imitates Jafar) No, really. On the scale of one to ten, you are eleven. (normal voice) Oh, Jafar, you're too kind. I'm embarrassed! I'm blushing! (flies away with the lamp)

Meowth: (speaks to Team Rocket through walkie-talkie) Iago's got the lamp just as Jafar instructed, you guys.

Jessie: (V.O. through walkie-talkie) Great work, Meowth!

James: (V.O. through walkie-talkie) Now, meet us at the tower right away. Jafar is waiting.

Meowth: Roger that, over and out! (cackles as he jumps out the window)

(Ash and Pikachu run into the room, lift the pillow up, and look out the window. He sees Meowth and Iago carrying the lamp away, much to his horror.)

Ash Ketchum: (in horror) No! (sends out Gengar) Gengar, I need your help. I want you to track down the thieves that stole Aladdin's lamp and find out where they're taking it to.

Gengar: Gen! Gengar! (vanishes into the floor)
