Cassie220@aol.com Please send comments. A/N: I don't know the Arabic word for priest.


Al: Did we lose 'em?

Ezzy: Yeah, soldiers can't get you in here. [Priest enters]

Priest: But the Shah has been known to break this rule. I suggest you leave town quickly. After the trouble you caused at carnival it would be unwise to anger him further.

Al: You saw what they were doing to that poor boy? Why didn't you help?

Priest: I can't write all the world's wrongs myself, and neither can you.

Ezzy: Well, no one out there is gonna help, that's for sure.

Priest: But maybe there's some one in here who can. [he walks off]

[Aladdin looks around at the statues of Allah and prayer mats catching on.]

Al: I just wanna get back to Agrabah.

Ezzy: Well we need to get outta here to be in Agrabah don't we? I don't know how we can sneak past the Shah's soldiers though.

Al: Check for unlocked windows. We can climb down the roof and slip by.

Ezzy: OK, let's split up.

[Esmeralda goes upstairs leaving Aladdin staring up at a statue. He might as well pray. But he'd never done it before.]

Spoken Al
I don't know if you can hear me...

Sung Ezzy
Or if your even there.

Half sung Al
Not to sure if you would listen-

Ezzy
to a street rat's prayer.

Al, sadly
Yes I know that I'm an outcast, to low to speak to you.

Ezzy
Still I see your face and wonder

Sung Al
Maybe you're an outcast, too.

Esmeralda [sings while walking]
Allah help streetrats, hungry since birth. Show them the mercy so few find on earth.

Al
We're people, not rodents, and we look to you still. Allah help streetrats, or nobody will.

Parishioners
I ask for wealth, and also fame,
I must have glory to sign with my name.
Bring all Allah's angels to bless me.

Ezzy
I ask for nothing I can get by, but I know too many less lucky then I.

Al
Please help the people who're weak and downtrod.
Was once told we all were children of God.
