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

==Sultan and his daughter, Jasmine/Jafar/Jasmine runs away ==
(Dissolve to same shot during day.  Cut to int. of SULTAN's chamber.  The door bursts open, and PRINCE ACHMED storms in, missing the rear end of his pants.)
*'''Prince Achmed''': (barging out of the door) I've never been so insulted!
*'''Sultan:''' Prince Achmed, you're not leaving so soon are you.
*'''Prince Achmed:''' Good luck marrying her off.
*'''Sultan:''' (groans) Jasmine. (heads toward a garden) Jasmine! Jasmine! Jasmi...
*'''Rajah:''' (growls)
*'''Sultan:''' (stutters) Confound it, Rajah! (grabs a piece of underwear) Oof. So, this is why Prince Achmed stormed out.
*'''Jasmine:''' Oh, Father. Rajah was just playing with him. Weren't you, Rajah? You were just playing with that overdressed, self-absorbed Prince Achmed, weren’t you? (She cuddles with RAJAH, enjoying the moment, until she looks up at her angry father. ) Ahem.
*'''Sultan:''' Dearest, you’ve got to stop rejecting every suitor that comes to call. The law says you…(with Jasmine)…must be married to a prince. By your next birthday.
*'''Jasmine:''' The Law is wrong.
*'''Sultan:''' You’ve only got three more days!
*'''Jasmine:''' Father, I hate being forced into this. If I do marry, I want it to be for love.
*'''Sultan:''' Jasmine, it’s not only this law. (sighs) I’m not going to be around forever, and I just want to make sure you’re taken care of, provided for.
*'''Jasmine:''' Please, try to understand. I’ve never done a thing on my own. I’ve never had any real friends. (RAJAH looks up at her and growls.) Except you, Rajah. (Satisfied, he goes back to sleep.) I’ve never even been outside the palace walls.
*'''Sultan:''' But Jasmine, you’re a princess.
*'''Jasmine:''' Then maybe I don’t want to be a princess anymore.
*'''Sultan:''' Oooohhh! (to Rajah) Allah forbid you should have any daughters!

(RAJAH looks up and thinks for a second. JASMINE goes to the dove cage and yanks open the door. The birds fly off into freedom. She watches them go. Cut to int. of Jafar’s chambers.)

*'''Jafar:''' Five living, breathing toy animals, eh?
*'''Iago:''' Yep. And they're looking for that lamp, too.
*'''Jafar:''' Aah. The Ultimate Battle, of course.
*'''Iago:''' The what?
*'''Jafar:''' There is a prophecy, Iago. It tells if the Grand Monarch of Evil and his army of Darkness were destroyed, the Great Sage of Goodness, Zordon of Eltar, will choose Five Warriors from another world: a brave bear, a proud piglet, a terrific tiger, a raving rabbit, and a dynamic donkey and they will join forces with warriors from other worlds to battle the Son of the Grand Monarch of Evil and his army of Darkness. So, what you're telling me is that you saw the 5 chosen warriors in Agrabah?
*'''Iago:''' Yes. And they're looking for that lamp, too. Like I said. Ya Speak English? Try to keep up Jafar, okay? 
*'''Jafar:''' Don't shout!
*'''Iago:''' You're making me nervous here! Get a Grip! (Jafar grabs him at his neck) Good grip.
*'''Jafar:''' Well, if it's the lamp they want, it's the lamp they shall get.
*'''Iago:''' Say, what?
*'''Jafar:''' Patience, Iago. First we find the Diamond in the Rough, then we trick that Diamond and those heroes into getting it.
*'''Iago:''' (shakes his head) You mean?
*'''Jafar:''' Oh, yes. And I know how to find them.

(Cut to int. of SULTAN’s chambers.)

*'''Sultan:''' I don’t know where she gets it from. Her mother wasn’t nearly so picky. (A shadow falls over him. He looks up startled and sees JAFAR.) Ooh, oh. Ah, Jafar--my most trusted advisor. I am in desperate need of your wisdom.
*'''Jafar:''' My life is but to serve you, my lord. (He bows.)
*'''Sultan:''' It’s this suitor business. Jasmine refuses to choose a husband. I’m at my wit’s-end.
*'''Iago:''' (In the parrot voice) Awk! Wit’s-end.
*'''Sultan:''' Oh, ha ha. Have a cracker, pretty polly! (He pulls a cracker out from his pocket. IAGO looks terrified. Then the SULTAN stuffs it in IAGO’s mouth. IAGO grimaces as he tries to eat it. JAFAR and the SULTAN both laugh.)
*'''Jafar:''' Your majesty certainly has a way with dumb animals. (IAGO glares at him.) Now then, perhaps I can divine a solution to this thorny problem.
*'''Sultan:''' If anyone can help, it’s you.
*'''Jafar:''' Ah, but it would require the use of the mystic blue diamond.
*'''Sultan:''' Uh, my ring? But it’s been in the family for years.
*'''Jafar:''' It is necessary to find the princess a suitor. (JAFAR says the word ‘princess’ with the accent on the second syllable, "cess." He turns his staff with a cobra head towards the SULTAN. The eyes of the staff begin to glow. The room darkens, JAFAR’s voice slows down and deepens. The SULTAN’s eyes get a hypnotized look.) Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.
*'''Sultan:''' Everything…will be…fine.
*'''Jafar:''' The diamond.
*'''Sultan:''' Here, Jafar. Whatever you need will be fine.

(The SULTAN removes his ring and hands it to JAFAR. The room returns to normal as JAFAR pulls back the staff.)

*'''Jafar:''' You are most gracious, my liege. Now run along and play with your little toys.
*'''Sultan:''' (Still hypnotized) Yes…that’ll be…pretty good.

(JAFAR and IAGO exit. We follow them. When they’re out of the room, the parrot spits out the cracker.)

*'''Iago:''' I can’t take it anymore! If I gotta choke down on one more of those moldy, disgusting crackers…bam! Whack!

(JAFAR pulls a rope, which reveals a hidden entrance to his chambers.)

*'''Jafar:''' Calm yourself, Iago.
*'''Iago:''' Then I’d grab him around the head. Whack! Whack!
*'''Jafar:''' (Speaking over IAGO.) Soon, I will be sultan, not that addlepated twit.
*'''Iago:''' And then I stuff the crackers down his throat! Ha ha!

(The pair pass through a door and slam it shut. Diss. to ext. gardens at night. A shadowy figure walks through. We see it is JASMINE in disguise. She reaches the palace wall, then begins to climb it. She is tugged from behind by RAJAH.)

*'''Jasmine:''' Oh, I’m sorry, Rajah. But I can’t stay here and have my life lived for me. I’ll miss you. (She begins to climb again, and is helped up by RAJAH, who begins to whine and whimper.) Good bye!

(She disappears over the wall)
