Meanwhile, inside the cave, Smolder woke up and sighed nothing's to get out of the cave. She looked at her hand to see a golden scarab in her hand. Then, she saw Aladdin slowly woke up.

Aladdin: Oh my head. Were trapped, that, two faced son of a jackal! Whoever he was, he's long gone with that lamp.

Like a magician, Abu happily revealed the lamp.

Aladdin: Why you hairy little thief. It looks like such a beat-up, worthless piece of junk. Hey, I think there's something written on here, but, it's hard to make out.

Aladdin rubbed the lamp with his sleeve and it glow slightly. Colorful smoke see spilled out of the spout. Filling the cave and taking a fall. Finally, the gigantic Genie of the Lamp towered above Aladdin.

Genie of the Lamp: Oy! Ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck

Genie of the Lamp: Oy! Ten thousand years will give you such a crick in the neck. Hang on a second. Wow, does it feel good to be out of there? Nice to be back, ladies and gentlemen. Where are you from? What's your name?

Aladdin: Uh... Aladdin.

Genie of the Lamp: Aladdin, Hello, it's nice to have you on the show. Cane we call you Al, our maybe just Din, or how about Laddy sound like 'here boy, come out laddy'.

Aladdin: I must've hit my head harder than I thought.

Genie of the Lamp: Do you smoke, mind if I do. Oh, sorry cheap I didn't seved the fur. Yo, rug man, haven't seen a few millennia. Gimme some up top. Say, you're alot smaller than my last master. Either that or I'm getting bigger Do I look different to you?

Aladdin: Wait, wait a minute, I'm... your master?

Genie of the Lamp: That's right. He can be taught. What would you wish of me? The ever-impressive, the long-contained, often imitated, but never duplicated... Genie of the Lamp. Right here, direct from the lamp. Right here for your very much wish-fulfillment. Thank you.

Aladdin: Whoa, whoa, whoa, Wish-fulfillment?

Genie of the Lamp: Three, to be exact, and Ix-nay on the wishing for more wishes. That's it. Three. uno, dos, tres. No substitutions, exchanges or refunds.

Aladdin: Heh, now i know I'm dreaming.

Genie of  the Lamp: Master, I don't think you quite realize what you got here. So why don't you just room-an-at, while I'll eliminate to the possibilities.

(Genie of the Lamp)

Well Ali Baba had them forty thieves
Scheherezad-ie had a thousand tales
But master you in luck 'cause up your sleeves
You got a brand of magic never fails

You ain't never had a friend like me, hah!


Genie of the Lamp: So what'll it be, Master?

Aladdin: You're gonna grant me any three wishes I want, right?

Genie of the Lamp: Almost. There are a few provisos, a couple of quid pro quos.

Aladdin: Like...

Genie of the Lamp: Rule number one: I can't kill anybody. So don't ask. Rule number two: I can't make anybody fall in love with anybody else. And rule number three: I can't bring people back from the dead. Other than that, you got it.

Aladdin: Provisos? You mean limitations? On wishes? Some all-powerful genie! Can't even bring people back from the dead. I don't know, Abu. He probably can't even get us out of this cave. Looks like we'll have to find a way out.

Genie of the Lamp: Excuse me. Are you looking at me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up? Did you bring me here and you three are walking out on me? I don't think so. Not right now. You're getting your wishes, so sit down!

An with that, the genie leaped on the carpet and grabbed Aladdin, Abu, Smolder and Spyro.

Genie of the Lamp: In case of emergency, the exits are here. Anywhere. Keep your hands and arms inside the carpet. We're... outta here!

With a resounding boom a crack appeared in the cavern ceiling and the carpet scoured away.
