Prologue
Five years ago at Disney Dream High School, seniors Ken and Aladdin were walking
through the hallway to their classes. The crowded hallway proved difficult to navigate after someone missed the trash can, littering the ground. When Aladdin tried to make one jump over the rolling soda can, he failed to stick the landing, falling into Ken. The impact caused both Ken and Aladdin to fall on the floor, their books with them. All of the surrounding high schoolers laughed. Ken rose faster than Aladdin and saw Barbie watching, his face turning scarlet with fury and embarrassment. His pride hurt and afraid that Barbie, the girl of his dreams, would see him as “just Ken” he had to take the attention off of himself. Aladdin felt horrible; He stood up and was about to apologize when Ken shoved him. Then Ken picked up his books and went to his next class, never looking back at Aladdin. If he had, he would have seen Aladdin stumble backward from the force of the shove and land in a trash can. More laughter. The high schoolers
scattered and continued on their way, having remembered they had to go to class. Aladdin couldn’t believe the way he was treated by Ken for a simple accident. Ken couldn’t believe that Aladdin would try to embarrass him. Now, five years later, Ken and Aladdin still can’t get along, to the disappointment of both their girlfriends. This is unfortunate because now adults, Aladdin’s palace is right across the street from Ken’s Mojo Dojo Casa House.

Scene 1
Barbie’s house in the kitchen. Ken and Barbie are sitting at the table.
Ken: Barbie, we should go to the beach today.
Barbie: But the tide is too high today.
Ken: So?
Barbie: We’ll go tomorrow. I’m going to do the laundry now. (Leaves)
Ken: If the tide is too high, then why is Barbie using Tide Pods?
Scene transitions to the laundry room. Barbie is already in the laundry room and Ken enters
Ken: Barbie, I don’t think you should be doing the laundry.
Barbie: Why don’t you just take out the trash?
Ken: Well, because I don’t want to.
Barbie: Ken…
Ken: Guess I have to take out the trash.
Ken looks out the window at Aladdin’s palace across the street and can’t help feeling angry and
jealous that Aladdin got to live a fancy life after highschool. Especially after what he did to Ken.
Ken walks over to Aladdin’s palace.
Aladdin: What are you doing here Ken?
Ken: I’m here to take out the trash!
Ken grabs Aladdin and throws him in the trash can outside Barbie’s house. Then Ken goes back
into Barbie’s house.
Barbie: Ken, why is Aladdin in the trash can?
Ken: (smiles) It’s where the trash belongs.
Aladdin climbs out of the trash can, red with fury.
Aladdin: He did it again! Just like in highschool!
Two onlookers crossing the street see Aladdin and laugh.
Aladdin: Ken won’t get away with it this time! This means war!
Scene 2
(Scene transitions to Barbie’s house, a day later. Barbie and Ken are sitting at the table during
breakfast.)
Barbie: Ken, I’ve noticed you’ve been fighting with Aladdin again.
Ken: So?
Barbie: How long will you keep this up?
Ken: As long as it takes to show him that I am a force to be reckoned with!
Barbie: Sure… But I think that you guys should just talk it out, you know.
Ken: No, Barbie, I don’t know. That’s not the way real men settle things.
Barbie: This is why I signed you up for an anger management class.
Ken: You did?
Barbie: Just try to make progress?
Ken: I make no promises.
Barbie: (Disappointed) Fine, Ken.
Scene 3
Ken goes to anger management, sees Aladdin and Jasmine, and his anger re-emerges.
Ken: Aladdin! What are you doing here?
Jasmine: He’s just doing his job, leave him alone.
Ken: Who are you?
Jasmine: (Annoyed Ken doesn’t remember her from highschool) I’m Aladdin’s fiance. Anyway, bye
Aladdin. Have a good day at work. (Leaves)
Ken: Oh, sure. So did you pay her Aladdin? Because I can’t think of any other reason a princess
would marry you!
Aladdin: That’s because your scope of imagination is very limited, Ken. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I
have a job to do.
Ken: And what job is that?
Aladdin: (Ignores Ken) Sit down everyone, time to start class.
Ken: You’re the instructor?
Aladdin: Hello class. Let’s all talk about why we’re here. Munchie, you go first.
Munchie: I lost a poker game and got really mad. That’s all you need to know.
Aladdin: Alright. Lego Guy, you go next.
Lego guy: I was minding my own business, building myself an ultra fortified house because I
highly dislike people. Then the cops showed up, turned my house into a prison, and locked me up.
Aladdin: Why did they lock you up?
Lego guy: THEY THOUGHT I LOOKED AGGRESSIVE!
Aladdin: Okay… Thunderwing, you’re next.
Thunderwing: So, this guy was making fun of me, right? I didn’t like that, so I beat him up. A little
while later, I was arrested and the guy was in an ambulance. My son set me up here
so that I could stay out of jail, but I still visit prison weekly.
Aladdin: (grinning) Ken, care to share?
Ken: My girlfriend signed me up because this guy (points to Aladdin) had to start trouble.
Aladdin: Me, start problems? Who’s the one going to people’s houses and throwing them in
trash cans?
Ken: Oh you deserved it!
Aladdin: Well now I’m going to fail you. And your grade in this class will reflect the rest of your
life. And unless you can convince me that you deserve to pass, then you will never be
free of this class. Or you could just quit. I’m sure Barbie will be so proud.
Ken: Oh, it’s on now!
Aladdin: Bring it on, Ken. Oh, and good luck.
Munchie: Um… What just happened?
Thunderwing: Where are we going with this?
Lego Guy: This seems personal.
Aladdin: Might want to study up, Ken.
Ken: How about you study my fist when it hits your face?
Munchie: Oh snap!
Lego guy: Them’s fightin’ words!
Aladdin: Get out of my classroom.
Munchie: Gladly.
Aladdin: Not you. Ken.
(Ken leaves)
Munchie: I’m still leaving. (Exits)
Act 2
Scene 1
Barbie is waiting in the parking lot outside the anger management building for Ken and hoping for
good news.
Barbie: So, how’d it go?
Ken: Oh yeah, it went great.
Barbie: (Hugs Ken) I’m so happy for you Ken! I can’t wait for your next class.
Ken: Yeah, me too.
Aladdin walks out of the building and begins walking home to his palace. Barbie notices him, but
doesn’t recognise him at first.
Barbie: Is that your instructor, Ken?
Ken: Yeah…
Barbie: We should thank him for helping you! (Runs over to Aladdin) Excuse me, I just wanted to
thank you for teaching Ken’s class so well.
Aladdin turns around and he and Barbie recognise each other.
Aladdin: No problem, but he’s failing.
Barbie: I thought you said it went well.
Ken: It would have if Aladdin wasn’t the instructor!
Barbie: No it wouldn’t have! I bet you didn’t even try to have a good attitude! You lied to me!
Ken: Barbie, wait…
Barbie: No, Ken. You need to fix this on your own. (Leaves)
Aladdin turns away and continues his walk home, unable to look at Ken. Ken is left alone in the
parking lot. He is determined to make things right with Barbie.
Scene 2
Ken is back in the anger management classroom the following week.
Ken: Aladdin, I’m not going to be here tomorrow. I’m going to be on the Bro Show.
Aladdin: So am I.
Ken: Can’t wait to destroy you.
Aladdin: You’ll be the one getting destroyed, Ken.
Munchie: (whispers to Lego Guy and Thunderwing) Do you think that if we left, they would
notice?
Lego Guy: Probably not.
Thunderwing: I feel like I’m not learning anything besides how to manage anger badly.
Ken: Who would ever be your bro anyway, Aladdin?
Aladdin: I signed up for the random selection.
Ken: Of course you did.
Aladdin: Well who’s your bro?
Ken: That’s not important.
Aladdin: You signed up for random selection too?
Ken: Oh no. Is it too late to quit?
Aladdin: The show airs tomorrow, Ken. I would totally quit, but the prize is $10,000.
Ken: Oh sure, like you need that kind of money with your fancy palace across the street.
Aladdin: What?
Ken: I need the money to build Barbie a new dreamhouse. She just has to have a new one every
couple of years.
Aladdin: Well I need to pay for my wedding with Jasmine.
Ken: Then I guess we have to win.
Aladdin: Agreed.
Munchie: Yeah, I’m just gonna leave…
Act 3
Characters:
Bobby Jean: Explores all kinds of jobs and possibilities, his latest one is
hosting the Bro Show.
Frog: Best friends with Meerie, but never realizes just how little he knows about Meerie until asked.
Meerie: A suspicious meerkat who’s best friends with Frog. There are many questions about him
and many claims against him about being creepy.
Spino and Bluestrike: Adopted brothers who spend almost every minute together. Spino is a
spinosaurus and Bluestrike is a raptor.
The Bro Show: A competition in which bros test their knowledge of each other. The winners get
$10,000. Each year, two people are randomly paired together to see if they can win it. This year,
those two people happened to be Ken and Aladdin.
Scene 1
At the Bro Show live the next day, Ken and Aladdin want to win, but can’t get over their resentments.
Bobby Jean: Hey guys, it’s me, Bobby Jean, live on the Bro Show! Today, our teams include Meerie
and Frog, Ken and Aladdin, and Bluestrike and Spino! How are you bros feeling today?
Frog: I was told there would be money.
Meerie: Where’s the wonga?
Spino: I need some cash.
Bluestrike: I could use the extra dough.
Bobby Jean: For the best of bros, there will be a cash prize of $10,000!
Ken: Yeah, Aladdin. Better not screw this up.
Aladdin: Please, Ken. If anyone were to mess this up, it would be you.
Bobby Jean: (Walks over to where Ken and Aladdin are sitting) Uh oh. Looks like there’s a fight going on in this corner! Ken and Aladdin, what’s going on between you two bros?
Aladdin: Well you see, Ken was never the brightest bro.
Ken: Aladdin’s not much brighter, unfortunately.
Bobby Jean: You guys realize that if bros get into a fight on this show, they are
disqualified, right?
Aladdin: I’ll simplify that for my bro here.
Ken: I don’t need an explanation.
Bobby Jean: Can’t say I didn’t warn you. But anyway, I’ll ask bros questions to see how well they actually know each other. Frog and Meerie will start, then Ken and Aladdin,
and after that, Spino and Bluestrike. But, as I said before, no fighting. Each competitor
was asked to give an answer to several questions. These are the questions that their bro
will answer. With all of that out of the way… Frog, how old is your bro?
Frog: Um, I don’t know. (Looks at Meerie)
Meerie: (Sits in silence)
Bobby Jean: What is the correct answer, Meerie?
Meerie: No comment.
Bobby Jean: It doesn’t look like Meerie gave us an answer, so I guess Frog
could technically be considered correct. You bros get 5 points.
Frog: Oh, cool. But Meerie, how old are you?
Meerie: (Turns his head slowly in Frog’s direction) No. Comment.
Bobby Jean: Aladdin, your turn. What are your bro’s hobbies?
Aladdin: Going to peoples’ houses and throwing them in trash cans?
Ken: Wrong, Aladdin! Just what I’d expect from you.
Bobby Jean: Settle down there, or I’ll have to call security. The answer Aladdin gave was incorrect.
Ken’s hobbies are… well he doesn’t have any.
Aladdin: That’s because he doesn’t have a life!
Ken: I’m about to end yours!
Bobby Jean: Guys, calm down. Spino, your turn. What’s your bro’s favorite food?
Spino: Steak!
Bluestrike: Correct!
Bobby Jean: Spino and Bluestrike get 5 points. And with that we end the first round. Frog and Meerie have 5 points as do Bluestrike and Spino. These teams are tied for first place. Ken and Aladdin have no points and are currently in last place. We’ll be back after this commercial break!
Commercial
Business owner, Windbreaker, is hiring at the Pizza Palace.
Windbreaker: Are you a loser? Do you need money? Then get off your lazy butt and get a job at the
Pizza Palace. We’re hiring because apparently people can’t spare their YouTube time
to come to work.
Teenager: Ugh, this guy is so mean, I’m going to post this on my channel!
Windbreaker: (Turns around to face youtuber) Guess what? Nobody gives a sh-!
Scott: This commercial was ended because of some technical difficulties not involving technology.
In other words, Windbreaker lost his mind.
Scene 2
Bobby Jean: We’re back on the bro show and with only two rounds left. Let’s get to the
questions. Meerie, what does Frog love to do the most?
Meerie: Hang out with me.
Frog: Ummm, I actually said practice karate.
Meerie: (Stares at Frog intensely)
Frog: I’m sorry…
Bobby Jean: Ken, what is Aladdin good at?
Ken: Nothing.
Aladdin: Incorrect, Ken!
Bobby Jean: Guys, this is your last warning. Now Bluestrike, what does Spino do when you’re not
around?
Bluestrike: He visits the place by the river where he was born.
Spino: That’s right, Bluestrike!
Bobby Jean: Spino and Bluestrike get 5 points. That’s the end of round two, four more rounds to go.
Spino and Bluestrike are in first with ten points, Frog and Meerie are in second place
with 5 points and Ken and Aladdin are still in last with zero points. We’ll be back after
this.
Commercial
Mr. Flamingo: Have you ever paid more than a dime at Merchants Auto?
Mickey: Keep the change!
Mr. Flamingo: Is the guilt just weighing you down?
Mickey: (On his knees, with his head down in despair)
The camera zooms in on Mr. Flamingo as he speaks.
Mr. Flamingo: Do you feel as though you have no right to live on this earth after what you’ve done?
Then go turn yourself in, right now, at your local police station.
Mickey: Bye-a, pal. (Gets arrested)
Mr. Flamingo: Because it’s a crime to pay more than a dime. (whispers) I know you’re a criminal.
Mr. Flamingo: This message is sponsored by Mr. Flamingo, who just wants to make our country a
better, safer place. (Walks away slowly)
Scene 3
Three rounds later, Ken and Aladdin still have zero points.
Bobby Jean: We’re here on the bro show and we are entering the final round. Time for the questions.
Frog, are the claims about Meerie being creepy true?
Frog: Yes?
Meerie: …
Frog: I wish they weren’t.
Bobby Jean: That is the correct answer. Now Ken, what does Aladdin love the most?
Ken: Ruining other people’s lives!
Aladdin: Why can’t you just admit that you’re jealous, Ken? That’s why you shoved me into a trash
can in high school, and why you did it again in our neighborhood last week!
Ken: I embarrassed you? What about me, Aladdin? You embarrassed me in high school, and now because of you, my girlfriend won’t talk to me!
Aladdin: You did it to yourself Ken! You started this.
Ken: But you crashed into me!
Aladdin: By accident. And you…
Ken: Didn’t mean to push you into a trash can…
Ken and Aladdin stare dumbfounded at the camera, unsure what to say next.
Bobby Jean: While that was a heartwarming spectacle, YOU’RE DISQUALIFIED!
Ken and Aladdin are thrown off the stage by security.
Act 4
Scene 1
Outside the Bro Show building, Ken and Aladdin relive the events of that day in highschool in
silence. Ken decides to speak first.
Ken: Aladdin, you were right, I am jealous and I thought you embarrassed me on purpose when we
were in highschool. Nobody deserves to be thrown in a trash can. I’m sorry.
Aladdin: I never should have ruined your relationship with Barbie to get my revenge. I went too far.
I’m sorry.
Ken: So, do you want to go tell Barbie and Jasmine the good news?
Aladdin: Sure. Also, you have officially shown a great improvement, Ken. You pass my anger
management class. Let’s agree to let this go.
Ken: Agreed.
Scene 2
Aladdin and Ken walk through the park with Barbie and Jasmine a week after the Bro Show. As
they pass by a garbage can, Aladdin watches Ken litter. The rolling soda can hits the ground and
rolls under Aladdin’s foot, causing him to trip and fall.
Aladdin: DON’T LITTER!
Ken is surprised by Aladdin’s outburst and fixes his mistake quickly.
Jasmine: What was that about, Aladdin?
Aladdin: (Stands up) I hate litterers.
The End
