Scott, here's the disney geek in me again (and I know last week was the theme I suggested, but I had too much going on) How about this one? This is from the original script, so somewhat different from what we see on screen, but thought worth a mention. Couldn't find the transcript which would be more accurate. Aladdin (1992) Writers: Ron Clements, John Muskier https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VdZewCFyfg EXT. MARKETPLACE - DAY ALADDIN, wiry, shaggy hair, ragged clothes, runs for his life, clutching a loaf of bread. He skids to a stop at the edge of the building. Quite a drop. GUARD: Stop, thief! Aladdin looks back -- guards scramble towards him. Aladdin puts the loaf of bread between his teeth, and LEAPS off the roof -- -- trampolines off an awning -- backflips towards a clothesline -- lands on it, struggles to keep his balance -- then falls, landing hard in a ceramic pot. Guards on the roof wave their swords. Guard: you won't get away that easy! Aladdin: You think that was easy? Dialogue takeaway: Why do I love this scene? Because it makes a crime like robbery a ton of fun, doused with excitement and action, not to mention it immediately sets in motion the character of quick-witted, fast-talking Aladdin and his complicated life... making him delightful to watch right from the outset.
