Disney's Aladdin Jr.

Memorize the entire script and be prepared to act out all the parts on your own.

ALADDIN: But I do like Jasmine.  I mean, "The Princess!"  Ugh! I must've sounded so stupid!  Then again, what does it matter? I'm never gonna see her again.  Me, the "Street Rat!"
(beat)
Besides, she deserves a prince.  Or at least someone better than me.  Oh why did I ever meet her?
(beat)
Boy, I'm glad I met her!

(ALADDIN callapses to a sitting position.  For the first time, he takes notice of all the objects around him.)

Look at all this junk!  I bet no one's been in here for years.

(A small lamp catches ALADDIN's eye.  He picks it up.)

Something's written on this thing.  Let's see here . . .

GENIE:   Oy! Ten Thousand years in a tin can'll give you such a crick in the neck!
(cracks his neck)
Okay, that's better! (to ALADDIN)
Now then, "Your wish is my command," yadda yadda, you know the drill, so shoot . . .

(ALADDIN is too astonished to speak.  He looks from GENIE to the lamp and back to GENIE.)

C'mon, kid, what's it gonna be?  Cash, camels, Casbahs?

You must want something . . . (GENIE claps his hands in ALADDIN's face.)

Hey!  What'd you say your name was?

ALADDIN: (wary) Aladdin.

GENIE: "Aladdin." He speaks! Okay!  This is gonna be a snap!  May I call you "Al?" You know, you're a lot smaller than my last master.  Either that, or I'm getting bigger.  Do these harem pants make me look fat?

ALADDIN: (amazed) Wait a minute - I'm your "master?"

GENIE: Hello?  "Direct from the lamp?"  It's the Genie with the light brown hair!

ALADDIN: You mean I, like, get to make a wish and everything?

GENIE:  Yeah, Al, like three wishes!

ALADDIN: Awesome!

GENIE:  But no wishing for more wishes, okay? 'Cuz that is just so yesterday.  But otherwise, you're the boss.  This is your lucky day.  All your dreams are coming true.
(beat)
Maybe I should explain? Fine.
(as if to a musical conductor)
Maestro? What key are we in?  It's a musical!

GENIE: So what's it gonna be, Master?

ALADDIN: Okay, this is gonna be great! I know exactly what I want!  There's this incredible girl, see, and ---

GENIE: Stop!

ALADDIN: Why?

GENIE:  Two seconds.  I gotta tell you the rules.

ALADDIN: (skeptical) What "rules"?

GENIE: Three wishes, three rules.  One: I can't kill anybody.  Two: I can't bring anybody back from the dead.  And three: I can't make anybody fall in love with anybody.

ALADDIN:  Why not?

GENIE: So forget about the girl already!

ALADDIN: Some all-powerfull genie! Can't bring people back from the dead, can't do this... can't do that.

GENIE: (aside) Can you believe this guy?

ALADDIN: (scheming) Probably can't even get us out of this cave.

GENIE: Excuse me? Did you rub my lamp? Did not offer you the standard three wish package? And all of a sudden you're telling me what I can and cannont do? Step over here!
