The rest of the treasure is yours, but the lamp ismine!Yes Jafar.where’d you dig up this bozo?GAZEEMAwk, the lamp—Awk, the lamp--.

(HE grabs the lamp) That’s not supposed to make itsappearance until the middle of the first act.(ZELDA shrugs with an “OOPS” look on her face.)I guess it’s too late, they’ve already seen it. Do not be fooled by its commonplaceappearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside thatcounts. This is no ordinary lamp! It once changed the course of a young man’s life, ayoung man, who like this lamp, was more than he seemed. A diamond in the rough.(HE gives a knowing laugh, the other PEDDLERSjoin him)7
