(A transformation scene ensues, in which the shackles fall off
GENIE’s wrist and the lamp falls uselessly to the ground.
GENIE picks it up and looks at it.)
GENIE: (He can’t believe it.) Heh, heh! I’m free. I’m
free. (He hands the lamp to ALADDIN.) Quick,
quick, wish for something outrageous. Say «I want
the Nile.» Wish for the Nile. Try that!
ALADDIN: I wish for the Nile.
GENIE: No way!! (Laughs hysterically. He bounces around
the balcony like a pinball.) Oh does that feel
good! I’m free! I’m free at last! I’m hittin’
the road. I’m off to see the world! I—
(He is packing a suitcase, but looks down and sees ALADDIN looking
very sad.)
ALADDIN: Genie, I’m—I’m gonna miss you.
GENIE: Me too, Al. No matter what anybody says, you’ll
always be a prince to me.
(They hug. The SULTAN steps forward.)
SULTAN: That’s right. You’ve certainly proven your worth
as far as I’m concerned. It’s that law that’s the
problem.
JASMINE: Father?
SULTAN: Well, am I sultan or am I sultan? From this day
forth, the princess shall marry whomever she deems
worthy.
JASMINE: (She smiles widely and runs into ALADDIN’s arms.)
Him! I choose…I choose you, Aladdin.
ALADDIN: Ha, ha. Call me Al.
(They are about to kiss when giant blue hands pull everybody together.
GENIE is decked out in a Hawaiian shirt with golf clubs and a Goofy
hat.)
GENIE: Oh, all of ya. Come over here. Big group hug!
Mind if I kiss the monkey? (He kisses ABU.) Ooh,
hairball! Well, I can’t do any more damage around
this popsicle stand. I’m outta here! Bye, bye,
you two crazy lovebirds. Hey, Rugman: ciao! I’m
history! No, I’m mythology! No, I don’t care
what I am—I’m free!
(The GENIE flies up into the blue sky leaving a trail of sparkles
behind him. They cut (a jump cut to make matters worse)
to fireworks exploding over a nightscape. We tilt down and see
ALADDIN and JASMINE flying on CARPET.)
ALADDIN: A whole new world
JASMINE: A whole new life
BOTH: (with off-camera chorus) For you and me!
MEN’S CHORUS: A whole new world!
(They fly off into the moonlight, and after they have disappeared,
the moon turns and reveals the GENIE’s laughing face. Suddenly
the film is grabbed «off the projector», the GENIE lifts it up
and looks at the audience.)
GENIE: Made ya look!
(Drops the film back to normal, with the normal moon. Fade to black.
The end.)
