Genie the Fortune Teller Jamillah and Aladdin

'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. 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 genie's in this room, could you give me a wish?

BOOMING: Your wish is my command!

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

But... Greetings, oh, wondrous one!

Tell me your wish.

I wish for...

an adventure.

Your journey here was pleasant enough, cousin?

Oh, it was rather hot,

but it's so cool in your lovely garden!

A little something with your tea?

Oh, I shouldn't.

On the other hand, it is a special occasion!

How often do I see my favourite cousin?

Indeed.

Oh, I seem to have lost my appetite.

Perhaps the sparrows would like this.

Oh. I, um....

I hope you're not ill.

Oh, no. I just didn't sleep too well.

-Bad dream.

-Do tell.

Well, it started as a perfectly nice dream.

The princess and I were strolling through the gardens,

when all of a sudden,

an elephant swooped down with a monkey on its back,

and before I could stop them,

they snatched up the princess and flew her away!

Just another of your silly dreams, Father,

which you wouldn't have if you ate less cheese.

Come now!

As if the Sultan of Baghdad would be troubled by a common dream.

What you had was a premonition -

a warning that the princess faces imminent danger.

Are you sure?

She must leave Baghdad immediately!

What? That's ridiculous!

I would, of course, be honoured to welcome the princess

into my own humble home.

I'm not leaving Baghdad, and I'm not living with Zebha!

Hush, child. Such decisions aren't yours to make.

If the princess were to live with me,

she might miss her little luxuries.

I simply can't afford them.

Well, then I will give you the money to pay for them.

Whatever you need.

It's always about money with you, isn't it, Zebha?

It's time she learnt some manners.

-Your Highness?

-Shh! Is Jamillah here?

No, but I am...

-expecting her.

-Jamillah, thank goodness!

-Princess!

-I need your help.

I'm to be sent away from Baghdad forever!

-BOTH:

-What?

My awful aunt Zebha's staying with us

and she's convinced my father that I'm in terrible danger

-and I have to go live with her!

-You're in danger?

My father had a bad dream and she's told him it was a premonition,

and now he thinks I'm going to be snatched away by a flying elephant!

-What are the chances of that?

-Pretty low, I'd say,

but I'd hate it if you left.

We need some help with this.

SHE COUGHS CONSPICUOUSLY

-MUTTERS:

-Genie.

I really don't want to live with her.

Don't worry. We'll figure something out.

Greetings, Princess.

We need to convince your father that the premonition wasn't real

and that you're safe.

I've got it!

Razin!

That's brilliant!

He's the best fortune-teller in Baghdad.

If his crystal ball says that you're safe,

the sultan will have to believe it and then he won't send you away!

Fetch your father and bring him to Razin's. We'll meet you there.

-Razin!

-Razin!

-Razin!

-Razin!

Oh. It's closed. It can't be closed! It only closes on Wednesdays.

-What's today?

-Wednesday.

What are we going to do? The sultan will be here any minute.

There's only one thing for it.

Run!

We're not running anywhere.

We need a brilliant, brilliant plan.

How good are your fortune-telling skills?

Hmm.

Princess?

Ah, Cousin Zebha.

Have you seen the princess?

She's probably deciding which dresses to pack.

While we're on the subject,

you mentioned something about financial assistance.

Of course! Anything you need.

I just so happen to have it written down.

Ah!

-Father!

-Ah, sweetheart!

-I've been looking for you.

-I needed time to think.

You're right, Zebha. I can't stay here if it isn't safe.

Sense at last!

May I ask one small favour?

Of course, dear. Anything.

Could we ask Razin, the fortune-teller,

-if it's true that I'm in danger?

-Of course it's true.

Perhaps. But then again, what harm could it do?

Ta-da!

Wow, fantastic!

You look just like a real fortune-teller!

Oh, orb of crystal.

Tell me what you see!

Are you supposed to be waving your hands around like that?

How should I know? I'm just making it up as I go along.

I told you, I understand these things!

You had a premonition.

I dread to think what will happen if you don't take it seriously!

Here we are.

Most Exquisite Majesties, to what do I owe this honour?

I wish to know my fortune.

Then you have come to the right place.

Welcome to my palace of premonitions!

Hmm.

Funny. I remember the fortune-teller

as being a lot less, uh...

And a lot more bushy.

You must mean Razin.

Yes, he is indeed bushier than I,

though perhaps not quite as handsome.

Well, where is he?

Huh? Oh!

Off sick, sire, but not to worry.

My oracular abilities are equally impressive.

If Your Highness would care to sit.

Think this will work?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure.

-Now what?

-Place the royal fingers lightly on the crystal ball.

Yes.

I see something.

It's...

..an elephant! An elephant with wings!

And what's that on its back?

Is it a man? No.

It's...a monkey!

You were right. My daughter is in danger.

Quite the opposite, Your Highness.

The elephant is a portent of wealth.

The monkey symbolises joy. She's a lucky girl.

Ridiculous!

Why are we listening to this fraud?

-Careful.

-Why has the ball gone black?

Zebha was the last to touch it.

It must be showing her future now!

I...

I see four boxes.

One is filled with gold, the second with silver,

the third has jewels inside, and the last...

the last is filled with saffron.

Purest Derbentian saffron.

Oh!

I can see an attic now.

A dark, tiny room with someone trapped inside.

It's the princess.

Wait! Someone else is there...

on the other side of the door.

It's you.

Ridiculous! This man is insane.

He is making it all up!

Where is that list you wrote up?

Forget the list!

I will care for your daughter out of the goodness of my heart.

Ah, you require four boxes.

One filled with gold, one with silver

and one with jewels.

And the fourth and final box is to be filled with saffron.

Purest Derbentian saffron.

I have been the victim of a wicked prank,

and this is what I get for trying to be kind!

Zebha...

..the day may come that you feel the urge to visit us again.

I advise you to resist it.

-Yes!

-Genie! Woohoo! Genie!

I don't know how to repay you.

Mere gold feels unworthy.

Don't worry about it, gold's fine!

No payment is required, sire. It was my privilege to serve.

Wrong answer, wrong answer!

Thank you.

It's only money!

For some reason, I feel exhausted.

You were amazing in there!

How did you know what was on Zebha's list?

I can't explain it.

I just felt it, saw it,

clear as day right inside the crystal ball.

You must have the gift.

Hey, if you ever got bored of casting spells,

Razin would probably give you a job.

Oh, no, no, no!

Razin can get his own genie. This one's ours.

And now that the princess was staying in Baghdad,

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.
