Script: Razoul
SIDE 1
(A CAVE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF AGRABAH. Two GUARDS enter a dimly lit space with ALADDIN, who struggles to free himself from their grip. RAZOUL enters.)
RAZOUL
Here we are. Make yourself uncomfortable.
GUARD 1
Hey, Boss? How come we had to drag him all the way out here to this cave?
GUARD 2
Yeah, Boss. Jafar said to put him in the dungeon.
RAZOUL
Jafar forgets that all the dungeons are full of prisoners already.
GUARD 1
So now he's filling up caves?
RAZOUL
This kid's a special case.
ALADDIN
I'm not special. I don't need a cave.
RAZOUL
You won't need it for long, that's for sure.
ALADDIN
Really? Where am I going?
SIDE 2
(All exit except JAFAR and IAGO.)
IAGO
There's something funny about that guy.
JAFAR
Agreed. Keep your eyes on this "Prince Ali."
(RAZOUL enters.)
RAZOUL
Hey Boss, that boy we found with Princess Jasmine? The boy from the marketplace?
IAGO
(light bulb, aside)
The boy from the marketplace?
JAFAR
Yes, yes, what about him?
RAZOUL
He's escaped?
JAFAR
How exactly does a boy "escape" from a dungeon, Captain?
RAZOUL
Um, well, Boss -- he wasn't exactly in a dungeon ...
JAFAR
I'm waiting.
RAZOUL
The dungeons were all full, so I thought it would be best to put him in your cave.
IAGO
The cave with all your treasures!
JAFAR
He's in my cave? With all my treasures?
RAZOUL
"Treasures?" Nuh-uh, boss - that cave with all the old junk.
JAFAR
Idiot! Those are precious items I've been stealing - I mean "collecting" - throughout my long career in public service. That filthy urchin could have stolen a fortune!
(beat)
Razoul! Why are you standing there? Go and find that boy! And this time bring him to me.
RAZOUL
Right away, Boss! Right away!
(RAZOUL exits.)
