LAMP VENDOR

Salaam and good evening to you, worthy friend! Welcome to Agrabah, city of mystery -

AGRABAHN 1

Land of Enchantment -

AGRABAHN 2

An oasis of rest and wonder for those in search of something ...

AGRABAHN 1

...magical!

LAMP VENDOR

Yes, my friend, welcome to the Agrabah, land of eternal bliss, magical mysteries, and home of the hottest half-price bargains this side of the River Nile! Take, for example, this dusty old lamp.

AGRABAHN 1

Look beneath the dust, and you will discover that this lamp once changed a young man's life...

AGRABAHN 2

... as well as the life of an ambitious young princess who was being forced to marry against her will.

(JASMINE and SULTAN enter)

JASMINE

But Father, what if I don't want to get married? What if I want to race camels ... or study economics ... or end poverty instead?

SULTAN

Jasmine, the ancient law demands that you marry on of royal birth by the full moon before your next birthday. Your responsibility is to choose wisely, for your husband shall be the future Sultan!

JASMINE

Why can't I rule Agrabah myself?

SULTAN

Oh, Jasmine ... it's the ancient law...
