Audition Central: Original - Disney's Aladdin JR.
Script: Sultan
SIDE 1
JASMINE
His name is Aladdin. He's being held somewhere, and you have to release him.
SULTAN
Is this "boy" someone you met while you were roaming the streets?
(JASMINE is silent.)
Jasmine! Members of this family do not consort with the common people.
JASMINE
But we should! YOU should! How else are you going to know what's going on? Did you know that your "common people" are hungry?
SULTAN
Jasmine, my concern is what's "going on" with you.
JASMINE
I've never been happier.
SULTAN
You ran away today, Jasmine! And now that you're back, all you want to talk about is some boy --
JASMINE
Father, please just listen --
SULTAN
You are a Princess! A Princess who must be wed tomorrow!
JASMINE
No!
SULTAN
Your time is up, Jasmine! You will choose one of the princes you've already met, or I will be forced to choose for you.
SIDE 2
ALADDIN
(turns to JASMINE)
Princess, I have nothing to offer you. No money, no jewels, no lands. No special powers, no important friends. But I will stand by you, and with you, no matter what. That's the only offer I can make.
(deep breath)
Whew!
(to GENIE)
Now that was hard.
SULTAN
Young man, that's the best offer any father could ask for. You've taught me something important today.
(to JASMINE)
It's time for me to be a better father ... and a better ruler.
JASMINE
Then we have your permission?
SULTAN
Well, am I Sultan, or not?
(to TOWNSPEOPLE)
From this day forth, the Princess of Agrabah shall marry whomever she chooses, whenever she chooses!
TOWNSPEOPLE
Yay!
