Why do I even have to marry at all? What’s wrong with a woman running the kingdom? If I have to marry someone I don’t love, then maybe I don’t want to be a princess anymore.” Aladdin “Steal? I don't know what you're talking about, Kassim. That's all behind me now, Omar. I promised my parents before they died that I'd never steal again. Food doesn't count. A guy's gotta eat. I don't know, Kassim. When people see me, I don't want the first thing they think to be ‘thief.’” Jafar “The key to a lamp that contains an all-powerful genie! Once I have it in my grasp, worries about the Princess’s suitors will be a distant memory. I’ll have the entire kingdom at my mercy! Rules of the darkest night, Grant us now a second sight. Guards of storms and angry tides, Show us where the lamp resides! And who is this Diamond in the Rough? Once we’ve got that boy, we’ve got our lamp! And I will finally be Sultan of Agrabah!” Genie “Hello everybody! Did ya miss me? Hallucinating? Impossible! I may be dreamy, but I’m no hallucination. Who am I? Who am I? Isn’t it obvious? The Genie is here! No, I’m from Cleveland. Of course I’m from inside the lamp! And you are the master of said lamp, so you get three wishes! And I thought the echo in the lamp was bad! Try to keep up, kid! I got a production number to get to! That’s right! But ixnay on wishing for more wishes. You got a name, kid? Mind if I call you Al... Al? Why don’t you just ruminate whilst I illuminate the poss-o- bilities!” Palmerton Area High School Drama Club 3525 Fireline Road Palmerton, PA 18071 JR.
