0:04:22 > 0:04:26With coloured smoke and things that go bang!

0:04:29 > 0:04:33Then I shall juggle my apples. Like so!

0:04:42 > 0:04:44Where can it be?

0:04:47 > 0:04:49It's got to be here somewhere.

0:04:51 > 0:04:56Hey, where did you get that chest from? My Jiddo has one just like it.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59I don't know. It's been here for ever.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Oh...

0:05:04 > 0:05:06A-ha! There you are!

0:05:09 > 0:05:14Hey, Genie. It's me, Jamillah. Are you home?

0:05:18 > 0:05:20I love these guys.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Genie, can you hear me?

0:05:24 > 0:05:27Jamillah! I hear and...

0:05:27 > 0:05:29obey.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35I hope you're not looking, Oh Wondrous One!

0:05:35 > 0:05:37It's a bit messy down here.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40I'm not looking. I'm just saying hi.

0:05:40 > 0:05:45Oh... Er... Hi, yourself! How are you! What's news?

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Not much. The Emperor's coming to town.

0:05:51 > 0:05:52The Emperor?

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- The one from China, you mean? - I guess...

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Guess?! Do you not know how important this is?

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Oh, my word!

0:06:05 > 0:06:07I have been dying to meet him!

0:06:07 > 0:06:10OK, look, I must...perform.

0:06:11 > 0:06:15I must display my talent!

0:06:18 > 0:06:20ALADDIN CLEARS THROAT

0:06:21 > 0:06:25Well, what do you think?

0:06:27 > 0:06:30OK, my first reaction is...

0:06:34 > 0:06:36No. Just no.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38- I'm sorry. - SHE SNORTS

0:06:40 > 0:06:41You look...

0:06:41 > 0:06:46Perfect, I know. The Emperor's going to love it.

0:06:46 > 0:06:47Come on, it's time!

0:07:00 > 0:07:02HERALD PLAYS CALL WITH LIPS

0:07:02 > 0:07:08Five minutes, the Emperor arrives in five minutes.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12I shall juggle three apples to perfection!

0:07:12 > 0:07:14LAUGHTER

0:07:18 > 0:07:21There, perfect.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22A-ha. Behold...

0:07:25 > 0:07:27A bit more excitement...

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Two! I shall juggle two apples to perfection.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38LAUGHTER

0:07:38 > 0:07:41What do you think? Should I do my dove-producing trick

0:07:41 > 0:07:45or the one where five elephants prance around in a circle?

0:07:45 > 0:07:50- Can you do those tricks?- What do you take me for? Of course I can.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Al-la-swa-ha-la-me-su-ma-SIM!

0:07:54 > 0:07:56MAGICAL CHIME

0:08:02 > 0:08:05I'd go for the dove.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10HERALD PLAYS CALL WITH LIPS

0:08:10 > 0:08:15The Emperor has arrived! Take your places, everyone! Places!

0:08:15 > 0:08:20I've got an idea. Aladdin, climb on Genie's shoulders. Hurry!

0:08:28 > 0:08:33I would not expect much, Your Majesty. It is a simple market.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Why am I doing this?

0:08:41 > 0:08:44It's a trick I learnt at gymnastics.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48I'm going to do a round-off and, Aladdin, you grab my feet

0:08:48 > 0:08:50and pull me up.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Then I'll be on your shoulders and you'll be on Genie's!

0:08:53 > 0:08:57No tickling, though. Do not tickle the Genie.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00OK, ready?

0:09:00 > 0:09:03THEY GROAN

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Don't fall!

0:09:16 > 0:09:17Don't...

0:09:21 > 0:09:24GASPS

0:09:37 > 0:09:40LOUD GASPS

0:09:42 > 0:09:47This is an outrage! How dare you insult the Emperor!

0:09:47 > 0:09:49Shut down this market immediately!

0:09:49 > 0:09:52You will all be in jail by sundown!

0:09:56 > 0:10:01- EMPEROR:- You are wrong, Vizier. That was charming! So amusing!

0:10:01 > 0:10:05EMPEROR LAUGHS

0:10:05 > 0:10:09Oh, yes. Quite comic, Your Highness.

0:10:11 > 0:10:12Release him.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18- EMPEROR:- Who is responsible for this...display?

0:10:23 > 0:10:27Your Worshipfulness! Salaam! Ahlan wa Sahlan!

0:10:27 > 0:10:32Allow me to present you an elephant!

0:10:32 > 0:10:36Al-la-swa-ha-la-me-su-ma-SIM!

0:10:36 > 0:10:38MAGICAL CHIME

0:10:40 > 0:10:46- EMPEROR:- You, sir, are hilarious. The worst magician I've ever seen!

0:10:47 > 0:10:51Your costume will not soon be forgotten.

0:10:51 > 0:10:56I invite you all to perform this act for the Sultan tomorrow night.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Perhaps you can amuse him as much as you amuse me.

0:11:03 > 0:11:08Did you hear that?! We get to perform for the Sult...

0:11:08 > 0:11:11- EMPEROR LAUGHS LOUDLY - So funny! So funny!

0:11:23 > 0:11:27I shall present the Sultan with the finest pomegranates in all the land!

0:11:27 > 0:11:29I will read the Sultan's fortune.

0:11:29 > 0:11:33Well, I will juggle one apple. Like so! Ha!

0:11:36 > 0:11:38Only better.

0:11:42 > 0:11:46I admit I need some work, but "worst magician ever"?

0:11:46 > 0:11:48Am I that bad, Jamillah?

0:11:48 > 0:11:51You're the best, Genie. The best!

0:11:51 > 0:11:54We couldn't have made this mess without you!

0:11:54 > 0:11:58That is true. No-one is better at creating a mess!

0:12:08 > 0:12:11Every story has an ending.

0:12:11 > 0:12:15And eventually Jamillah had to say goodbye to Baghdad.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18It was nice to get home and see her family.

0:12:18 > 0:12:22But Jamillah couldn't wait for her next adventure with Aladdin

0:12:22 > 0:12:24and me, her brilliant Genie.

0:12:28 > 0:12:30# So what is your wish

0:12:30 > 0:12:33# Say, Oh Wondrous One?

0:12:35 > 0:12:37# Just don't rock my lamp

0:12:37 > 0:12:39# And your will is done

0:12:42 > 0:12:44# No need for applause

0:12:44 > 0:12:46# Yes, I'm number one

0:12:48 > 0:12:51# A thousand years in here

0:12:51 > 0:12:55# It's been too long

0:12:56 > 0:12:58# Your genius Genie

0:12:58 > 0:13:02# So smart and strong

0:13:02 > 0:13:05# Shazam! Al Kazam! Argh!

0:13:05 > 0:13:07# It's all gone wrong

0:13:09 > 0:13:13# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp

0:13:13 > 0:13:16# I'm the Genie from the lamp

0:13:16 > 0:13:20# That's Aladdin, he's our lad

0:13:20 > 0:13:23# In old Bagh-da-a-a-a-a-d

0:13:23 > 0:13:27# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp

0:13:27 > 0:13:30# I'm the Genie from the lamp

0:13:30 > 0:13:34# That's Aladdin, he's our lad

0:13:41 > 0:13:44# I'm the Genie from the lamp

0:13:44 > 0:13:48# She's Jamillah Watch her leap

0:13:48 > 0:13:52# That's Aladdin lying in a heap

0:13:52 > 0:13:55# La-la-la-la, la-la-lah

0:13:55 > 0:13:58# La-la-la-la, la-la-lah

0:13:58 > 0:14:02# La-la-la-la, la-la-lah
