The Mysterious Gift Jamillah and Aladdin

-GENIE:

-I was delighted when Jamillah was born.

The seventh child is always a lucky child.

Her big brothers adored her, and she adored them.

Her grandfather, Jiddo, told her magical stories,

which is how she learned about me.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Who drew that? I'm way handsomer.

Jamillah grew up to be courageous.

One rainy day,

Jiddo sent her up to the attic to get a box from his trunk.

Boy, was she in for a surprise!

If any genies are listening,

could you give me a wish?

Your wish is my command.

-RUMBLING

-Oh!

Listen, don't go dropping the lamp again, OK?

But, greetings, O wondrous one! Tell me your wish.

I wish for...

..an...

..adventure.

INAUDIBLE

I have travelled all the way from a distant land, called India.

A land of dreams, rich in all manner of mystical creatures.

What kind of creatures?

Creatures like the mystical, magical unicorn.

Ha! A unicorn.

-They don't exist.

-Of course they do.

That is to say, they exist in India, a land where anything is possible.

When the moon has risen,

I shall present to your Sultan this most precious and mysterious gift.

-Jamillah, hi.

-Who is this man?

I don't know who he is, but he says he has a unicorn.

-Can you believe it?

-No.

FANFARE SOUNDS

Hariraam Chandrinat, First Emissary of the Great Maharaja of India,

at your service.

It is an honour to welcome you.

Wow, I cant wait to see it.

I'm going to stay up all night just to have a look.

Then you'll get tired for nothing,

because there is no such thing as a unicorn.

-Yes, there is.

-No, there's not.

There is. I can prove it.

We can have a look right now.

Fine, but only because I want to see your face

when you realise I'm right.

Prepare to be sorry in three, two, one... Ha-ha!

A-ha-ha-ha-ha! I knew you'd pull a great face.

Cant wait to see the Vizier's face when...

We should tell the Vizier.

Oh, no.

My humble cart contains a most valuable gift

from the maharaja himself.

-Vizier!

-Whoa, whoa, whoa!

-Wait, Vizier!

-Vizier!

-This way, Grand Vizier.

-He's lying, don't listen to him!

-There is no unicorn, it's a lie.

-Please let us through.

We have to speak to the Vizier.

A unicorn is a magnificent gift.

They are exceedingly rare.

He can't hear us. Let's go and get Genie.

There are those who would tell you that I am not to be trusted,

that unicorns do not exist.

I pity their ignorance.

Come to the palace gardens, and you shall present it to the Sultan.

With pleasure, and now I must make my final preparations.

Of course, the maharaja will be expecting something

equally valuable in return.

Have no fear. Our Sultan is very generous.

-Deception. Look under deception.

-Er, yeah.

No, no, no, wait, wait, wait. Try false gift.

-No, no, no - lying.

-OK, guys, guys, guys.

Why don't we just go to the Vizier and warn him?

Can't. We already tried that.

The guards won't let us through. GENIE SCOFFS

What's a guard to a genie? Come on.

Lay out all the cushions over there.

Come on. The unicorn cart will be over there.

Mohammed, more fruit, please.

Er, why are we dressed like this?

Watch and learn.

Mohammed, not here, here.

Must I do everything myself?

Excuse me, O Magnificent. We have a message of the utmost urgency.

Who are you?

I am the Grand Poobah, and these are my...

Anyway, we have an urgent message about your new guest.

He is lying to you. Yes, there is no unicorn.

-WHISPERS:

-He's a trickster.

Yes.

He warned me about people like you.

Guards!

What? No.

-He's lying to you.

-No, we're telling the truth!

He's a trickster.

-Stop!

-Wait!

You're making a big mistake!

We're trying to help!

OK, sorry, sorry.

Quick, quick, quick.

EXHALES SHARPLY

What now?

Clear the way!

Now there's an idea.

Where are we?

Is this a unicorn cage?

Since the Grand Vizier won't listen to us,

we'll hide in here until Hariraam makes his presentation.

And then we'll jump out in front of the Sultan.

Genius.

Oh. Grand Vizier, are you sure

we need to give ALL this treasure to the maharaja?

I assure you, Your Highness, his gift of a unicorn is beyond value.

Only the most important men in the world have one.

Oh! Well, in that case, I shall look forward to receiving it.

And here it is.

We've stopped. Are we there yet?

It's showtime.

Let's get out of here.

-It's locked.

-What do you mean?

Don't worry, I'll just...

Your Royal Highness, may I present Hariraam Chandrinat,

First Emissary to the Grand Maharaja of India.

Welcome, emissary.

It's not working.

We have to do something, otherwise he's going to get away.

Sultan! He's a trickster! There's...

Your generosity knows no bounds.

And now, if you could show us your unicorn...

Ah, I should have explained.

Unicorns sleep during the day, a deep and soundless sleep,

but when the moon rises, she will awake and dance.

That is a magical sight.

-Sultan!

-Sultan! Sultan, let us go.

MUFFLED: There's no unicorn!

If the unicorn is sleeping, then why is the cart shaking?

Er... A unicorn, when it sleeps,

-dreams vividly, your Grace. And sometimes, er...

-Shakes!

Exactly, and now I must leave.

Leave? But we're holding a feast for you.

I must return to the maharaja immediately

to show them all the jewels. There are so many jewels.

There is something in that cart.

-Your Grace...

-Guards, remove those covers at once.

-There's no unicorn.

-He's a thief!

Silence!

What have you done with the unicorn?

There never was a unicorn.

What trickery is this?

He was just using you.

Insolent rat! Arrest them at once!

-Grab them!

-Genie!

Thanks a lot, guys(!)

That man's a thief. There was no unicorn.

We tried to tell the Vizier.

What lies!

There he is!

-Get him!

-Hasha yatan kawatas!

Ha-ha! Give up. We've got you now.

What a smart little girl you are.

-Now get lost.

-You dare speak to Jamillah that way?

Apologise at once.

After that, you march straight to the Sultan.

Who's going to make me? You?

You won't get away with this.

Too late. Already have! Oh, my jewels!

I hope you enjoyed your time with my jewels.

Guards - arrest this fraud.

No, please, no! No, no, no!

-Nice one!

-Yes!

-SULTAN:

-A feast was laid out for our fake foreign dignitary,

but never has a feast been more deserved than by you three.

Come, let's eat.

-ALADDIN:

-Oh, yes, I'm starving!

-What a surprise(!)

Maybe next time, Grand Vizier, you'll listen to us.

-Hey, guys, wait up!

-So, what are we going to eat?

And, after the glorious feast,

where they celebrated saving the Sultan and his jewels,

it was time for Jamillah to go.

It was nice to get home and see her family, but Jamillah couldn't wait

for her next adventure with Aladdin, and me, her brilliant Genie.

# So what is your wish? Say, O wondrous one

# Just don't rock my lamp and your will is done

# No need for applause, Yes, I'm number one

# A thousand years in here, it's been too long

# Your genius genie, so smart and strong

# Shazam, alakazam, Oh, it's all gone wrong

# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp

# I'm the genie from the lamp

# That's Aladdin, he's a lad in old Baghdad

# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp

# I'm the genie from the lamp

# That's Aladdin, he's a lad in old Baghdad

# She's Jamillah, she's a scamp

# I'm the genie from the lamp

# Showed the Sultan his empty cage

# But the Vizier flew into a rage
