Kazaam Page #3

Synopsis: Being a lone young boy in the 'hood" is dangerous and unpleasant. This is what Max experiences when he fools a gang of local toughs who cornered him at school. The gang finds out that the key he gave them is of no value in committing a robbery, and they chase him through the streets of his neighborhood, bent on revenge. He tries to escape by slipping into the open door of an old warehouse, but they follow him there, too. While running from them through aisles filled with all kinds of stuff, he bumps into an old boom box. By doing that, he manages to release Kazaam, a genie who has been held captive for thousands of years. In order to stay free, Kazaam must give Max three wishes.

Yo,yo,yo. Check one, two.

Bottom, bottom.

Oh, excuse me, sir.

I'd like to speak to Mr. Matteo.

Who?

Your mother.

I said I wanted the bar stocked

before the sound check!

How much?

- Hello.

Will you hurry up over there?

- Who am I talking to?

Paul Shea, line three.

Mr. Shea, Nick Matteo.

How you doing?

Hey, you're gonna have

to help me out, Mr. Shea.

Look, what I'm saying is

you're gonna have...

the best seat in the house set

aside especially for you tonight.

We'll take good care of you, Paul.

Uh-huh. Yeah, I'll see you tonight.

Cindi, if I wanted pressed turkey,

I would have run over myself.

- Anybody got any gum?

- I do.

- Who are you?

- I'm... Max.

Theo, you call a messenger?

No, I didn't call anybody.

- Psst.

Try downstairs, kid.

Hey, hey, I like it! I'm serious! This

whole, you know, seen-the-street thing.

Tell me,you booked in or you just

come here to scare the hell out of us?

Thank you.

So, tough guy,

who was that loser?

That was my father.

Hey-dee, hi-dee-ho.

Was that guy

really your father?

Acted like he didn't

even know you.

Look, he hasn't seen me

in a long time.

I was two, okay?

- Where did he go?

- Away.

That's a long time away.

I mean, it's not two or three

thousand years, but that's a long time.

Well, he's back now,

all right?

- And things are gonna be different.

- Cool.

So how come you didn't

tell him who you were?

- What do you care?

- Who says I did?

- Why don't you just leave me alone?

- Is that a wish?

Is that all you care about?

Look, you little fart...

you called me

into this mess of a world.

- I didn't call anybody.

- You popped the box, so make a wish!

Wish for a castle,

a fancy chariot!

I don't care what you do.

I gotta obey the rules.

I can't show my magic

to anybody but you...

and I can't get back into my box

until you make your three wishes.

Now, deal with it!

- Deal with this!

- Hey!

My turn.

Whoa! Whoa!

What I gotta do, kid?

Let's go!

You're on my turf now!

You'll be sorry!

Come back here!

Oh, Max.

- Oh, no!

- Remember me? Make your three wishes.

I wish you'd go away!

Leave me alone!

- I'm gonna kick your butt!

- Dream on, loser!

No way I'm losing

this race, buddy.

Kazaam!

I'm back! Take a break, kid.

You're gonna need it for this.

Whoo!

Don't get all hysterical.

Say thank you

for your miracle.

- You are a genie!

- What's the matter? Your tongue is broken?

At a time like this,

you should be stokin'.

You know the rules,

now comply.

Kazaam,

he got unlimited supply!

You'll give me anything?

Come on, boy,

you're not gonna die.

Open your eyes.

Don't ask why.

Just give it a try.

Then, then,
