04x04 - Pin the Blame on the Genie

Post by bunniefuu »

SOFIA: I was a girl
in the village, doing all right

Then I became a princess overnight

Now I gotta figure out
how to do it right

So much to learn and see

Up in the castle with my new family

In a school that's just for royalty

A whole enchanted world
is waiting for me

I'm so excited to be

CHORUS: Sofia the First

SOFIA: I'm finding out
what being royal's all about

CHORUS: Sofia the First

SOFIA: Making my way
it's an adventure every day

CHORUS: Sofia
SOFIA: It's gonna be my time

CHORUS: Sofia

SOFIA: To show them all that I'm

ALL: Sofia the First

[SOFIA READING]

We have some time

before our trade discussions begin,
King Roland.

Is there something you would
like to do first?

How about a quick tour of the market
while we wait, King Habib?

I'd like to get
a new shawl for Miranda.

And I'd like to see my friend Kazeem.
How's he doing?

Kazeem? The mischief-making genie?

Please excuse my new royal wizard.

Omar is not fond of genies.

Why should I be, sire?
Magic is serious.

Royal wizards like me are serious.

Genies, on the other hand, are silly.

Maybe Kazeem was mischievous before,

but now he's on the Genie Patrol.

He takes that very seriously.

-[HONKING]
-KAZEEM: Look out!

Kazeem!

KAZEEM: Uh, sorry!

[CLEARS THROAT] I rest my case.

Can't talk now, Sofia.
Genie Patrol biz!

A rogue genie's on the loose
breaking all the genie rules!

[LAUGHING] Ali Bobo
is free of his lamp!

Who has a wish for Ali Bobo?

I wish you would make me
a birthday cake.

Watch out! It's a trick!

Ali kapow! You are a birthday cake.

This is not what I expected.

Oh, my! What shall we do?

-Kazeem will take care of it.
-[WHISTLES]

[REVVING]

Ali Bobo made a funny!

Pull it over, Ali Bobo!

No chance!

[LAUGHING]

Kablooie!

-[BELL RINGS]
-Huh?

Can't escape the long arm of the law!

Ali Boba never gets to have fun!

Nobody says you can't have fun, Bobo.

You just gotta follow the rules.

Sergeant Fizz!

Afternoon, Princess Sofia.

Nice work, junior patrolman.

Now, finish the job.

Hey! I may be delicious,
but I am still a person.

Kablooie!

Uh, nothing happened.

Genie rule number 21,

only the genie who grants a wish
can undo that wish.

Right! I forgot.

Unmake that cake, rogue genie!

Okay, okay.

Ali kaboom.

Lamp him, Kazeem.

And that's how we do it
in the genie patrol.

Well done, genie patrol!

Your Majesty,
Junior Patrolman Kazeem and I

have now rounded up all rogue genies

and confined them to their lamps

until they learn
to follow the genie rules.

Ahh! I reward you both with a day off!

A day off? Great! Kazeem,
can you join us in the market?

That sounds fun-tastic, Sofia.

I'd love to!

Ahem. If I may, this little genie
may be playing hero now,

but not too long ago
wasn't he a rogue genie?

Granting wishes willy-nilly,

conjuring huge cookies,

putting wings on a camel?

Oh, but that was before.

Didn't he slam his flying carpet
into me just now?

He's a menace

and should be confined
to his lamp as well.

It was an accident!

Oh, I think we can pardon
a little youthful energy.

Sire, I'd stake
my reputation on the kid.

If he's a menace, so am I.

As you say, Sergeant Fizz.

Now, let us all go to the market.

You go, kid.

I'll take this rogue genie
back to HQ and book him.

The Genie Patrol's work is never done.

[CARPET REVVING]

Omar's wrong, Kazeem.

I can see how much you've changed.

Thanks to you, Sofia,

for helping me become
a junior patrolman.

[CAMELS GRUNTING]

Apologies, friends, for the delay.

Shoo, camels, shoo! How embarrassing!

I wish these camels
would just get out of our way.

Hey, wait! Stop that!

What is the meaning of this? Whoa!

King Habib! Careful!

[EXCLAIMING]

What happened?

I have no idea!

Achoo!

If I may...

it's perfectly clear what happened.

King Habib made a wish
that the camels would move,

and this genie
mischievously granted it.

-No, I didn't!
-Then who did?

Sergeant Fizz said all rogue genies
are bottled up.

Kazeem said he didn't do it,

-and I believe him.
-Thanks, Sofia.

But did he not give a camel
wings once before?

Sure, once, but what does that have...

I rest my case once again.

Like all genies, he's a menace.

Sire, I recommend
you remove him from the Genie Patrol

and banish him to his lamp.

-No!
-No!

Enough! I am sure there is
an explanation for all of this.

You're not back to playing tricks,
are you, my boy?

No way, sire!
I'm not like that anymore!

-Achoo!
-[LAUGHING]

You see? He's laughing!

It's all a big joke to him.

I didn't mean to.

He sneezed, and it was funny.

Hmph, I see!

Well, if there is
any more funny business, Kazeem,

there will be consequences.
Understood?

-No more tricks.
-Yes, sire.

King Roland, let us get cleaned up.

I'll just be a few minutes, Sofia.

Okay, Dad.

Thanks for sticking by me, Sofia.

Of course, Kazeem!

But I'm afraid
I'm the only one who believes you.

What I don't get is
someone granted that wish.

But who?

[SIGHS] It's a mystery, for sure.

Luckily, we know someone
who can solve any genie mystery.

All you gotta do, Bobo,
is learn the genie rules

and you're out...
unless someone rubs your lamp first.

ALI BOBO: Ali Bobo doesn't like rules!

Ali Bobo would rather escape!

Yep, that's what they all say.

Sergeant Fizz? We need your help.

Okay, give me the rundown.

The rundown, right!

King Habib wished
some camels would move

and they got wings
and they made a mess,

and I laughed when I shouldn't have

and everyone thinks I did it,
but I didn't!

I know Kazeem didn't do it,
but how do we prove it?

Well, that's not
Sergeant Fizz's department.

You need Detective Fizz, Private Eye!

So, what are we going to do, Sarge...

I mean, Detective Fizz?

We are going to investigate.

Take me to the scene of the charm.

Okay, this is where
King Habib made his wish,

and that's where the camels got wings.

Step one of any investigation,
dust for fingerprints.

How do we dust sand
for fingerprints, Sarge?

The same way we do anything,
kid, with style.

There are a hundred magic-makers
in this kingdom,

and every spell they cast
tells a story.

So that powder
will tell you who cast the spell?

Close, Sofia.

It'll tell us what kind
of magic-maker cast it.

It might not even be a genie.

I didn't think of that!

It could've been a witch
or a fairy or a sorcerer!

This'll prove I'm innocent, easy!

Bull's-eye! It was a genie.

It wasn't me, I swear!

Hold on, Detective Fizz.

Just because it was a genie
doesn't mean it was Kazeem.

Good point.

On to step two,
interrogate the witnesses.

Where were you this morning, miss?

Um, standing right here?

So, you have no alibi, eh?

No, but I have turbans
and headscarves!

How 'bout a fez?

I'll ask the questions here.

Ooh, do you have that in red?

Hello, Mr. Camel,
may I ask you a question?

-You talkin' to me?
-Yes.

Did you notice anything strange today?

You mean before I got wings
and met a girl who understands camel?

Yeah, right before then.

Um, I was wondering,

did you happen to see
who cast the spell on you?

Nope. But I did see
where the magic flash came from,

right over there.

A clue! Thank you.

No fuzz off my hump.

Gotta fly!

What'd you find, Sofia?

That camel said the spell
that changed him came from here.

And look what I found!

Do you think...

...it belongs to the genie
who cast the spell?

Yes, I do! Let's show Detective Fizz!

So, you want the turban
and the scarf and the fez?

Just the fez, ma'am. Just the fez.

Detective Fizz, I found a clue!

Bingo! Give me the short version.

According to a flying camel,
this belongs to the guilty genie.

Now you'll know it wasn't me!

So to find the guilty genie,

we've just gotta figure out who
is missing this trinket from his...

Oh, Kazeem...

I didn't do it!

Kid, you're in a pickle,

and I don't mean the kind
you put on a sandwich.

Sofia, you believe me, right?

Well, I, uh...

I should really catch up with my dad.

You still believe me, right?

Kazeem, are you sure you didn't,
you know,

grant this one little wish for fun?

You can tell me.

-No!
-Then I believe you.

[CRUNCHING]

Oh, these are delicious, King Habib!

I wish you could sample all the fruits
and vegetables of Tangu.

Look out!

Huh?

I cannot believe this.

Twice in one day! How humiliating.

I don't understand.
What just happened?

If I may...

This is more genie mischief.

King Habib wished
for fruits and vegetables,

and that's exactly
what Kazeem gave him.

I didn't! I promise!

Sire, I insist that you banish him
to his lamp immediately.

Think of your wardrobe!

Sire, please!

I am sorry, but even a king
has only so many formal outfits.

It is time to decide once and for all
whether you are guilty of this crime.

Detective Fizz?

One genie court trial coming right up.

Order in the court!
Order in the court!

Hear ye, hear ye.

The case of Kingdom v. Kazeem
will now kick off.

-What's happening?
-I'm not sure.

You're on trial, Kazeem.

Omar will show evidence
of why he thinks you did it,

and the king will decide
if he's right.

As my first witness
I call Detective Fizz.

I've got your back, kid.

Do you swear to tell the truth?

-Always.
-So, Detective,

I understand you've been investigating
the case of the mischievous wishes?

Yes, I dusted for magical fingerprints
to see who gave the camels wings.

-And was it Kazeem?
-It was a genie.

But that doesn't mean it was Kazeem.

What else did you find?

Just a trinket near
where the camel spell was cast from.

And did it belong to Kazeem?

-It did, but...
-And wasn't Kazeem

the only other genie around
when all fruit fell on King Habib?

Sure, but that doesn't mean
the kid's guilty.

Then who is? You told the king

all the other rogue genies
are safely in their lamps.

Didn't you?

Well, I did. I mean...

Well, they are, but I-I...

You must tell the truth, Detective.

What do all these facts point to?

I guess...

The facts point to Kazeem.

-Sarge, no!
-[CROWD GASPS]

I rest my case.

What a shame!

Your Honor, wait!

I'd like to say something.

You may proceed, Princess Sofia.

I know Kazeem.

He's a good genie,
but anyone can make a mistake.

Please, Kazeem, just say you're sorry

and maybe they won't
put you in your lamp.

I object!

On what grounds?

On the grounds
that I thought you were my friend.

I am your friend, Kazeem!

And I don't want
to see you get lamped!

Just, please, say you're sorry.

I didn't do it!

I have heard enough!

I am sorry, Kazeem.

I must find you guilty.

Remove him from the Genie Patrol

and confine him to his lamp
until further notice!

Sergeant at arms?

Sorry, kid,

but I've gotta...

Lamp me. I heard.

Some partner you turned out to be.

Kazeem, I'm sorry, too.

Yeah, sure you are.

OMAR: If I may...

I call Detective Fizz
back to the stand.

-Me?
-Why?

This is a little unorthodox,
but if you insist.

Detective, is it not true
you staked your reputation on Kazeem?

Did you not say, and I quote,

"If he's a menace, so am I"?

Yeah, so?

Your Honor, he admits it himself!

The entire Genie Patrol is a menace!

Detective Fizz
must go back into his lamp, too,

and the Genie Patrol
must be disbanded!

I object!

Well, you did put
your reputation on the line

when you vouched for Kazeem.

I am sorry, Detective.

Please pack up
Genie Patrol headquarters

and return to your lamp by sundown.

-Court adjourned!
-[CROWD MURMURING]

What can we do, Detective Fizz?

It's not "detective" anymore, Sofia,

just plain old Fizz.

I'm afraid this case is closed.

Hello! I've been looking
everywhere for a green shawl.

Do you happen to have one?

Dad, I think I made a mistake.

What, at the trial?

I'm confused!

The facts seem to say
I shouldn't believe Kazeem,

but in my heart I still do.

Are you sure you have all the facts?

What do you mean? We investigated!

Well, did you look everywhere?

We examined every inch
of where the camels got wings!

But we haven't looked

at where all the fruit
fell on King Habib!

Dad, you're a genius!

I just know how to keep looking
until I find what I'm after.

Mom'll love it!

And I love you.

Sergeant Fizz,
we have to reopen the case!

What are you doing?

Packing up HQ, Sofia.

See this?

I was gonna make Kazeem
a junior senior junior patrolman,

but not anymore. [SNIFFLES]

Are you crying?

A Genie Patrolman doesn't cry!

[SOBS] But I'm not
a Genie Patrolman anymore!

[SOBBING]

Fizz, you and I both know
deep down Kazeem is innocent!

You were at the trial.

It's an open-and-shut case.

We have to keep looking.

We've gotta give him one more chance!

[SINGING] A Genie Patrolman

Has very tough views

We stick to facts only

We just follow the clues

But what if the truth is

Not clear at first glance?

There's more to this story

Give the kid one more chance

I've caught lots of genies

Who all went astray

This kid's just like they were

In his lamp he must stay

We both know Kazeem, though

He just wouldn't lie

Think out of the lamp, Fizz

Give the kid one more try

My heart hears what you're saying

But my hard head just says no

Spend my days jailing genies

I ain't familiar with hope

I believe in you, Sergeant

Like I still believe in Kazeem

Don't give up on your friends,
Sergeant

You are the genie dream team

I hear what you're singing, Princess,

but how could we just start
a whole new investigation?

How else?

With style!

I guess what you're saying

Is soften my stance

Believe in my gut

And give the kid one more chance

You're not just a gumshoe

Stuck in an old dance

You've learned a new step

I'll give the kid one more chance

He deserves one more chance

BOTH: Give Kazeem one more chance

Omar sesame.

Fizz, stop!

What do you see, Sofia?

Omar sesame.

What's genie rule 21, again?

Only the genie who grants a wish
can undo that wish.

-Why?
-Look!

Isn't Omar reversing
the fruit and vegetable spell?

He is, but how can he do that?

He's a wizard, not a genie.

Let's follow him!

Time for a little victory relaxation!

He's a genie!

What was that, a mouse?

Or is my wagon infested with genies?

Who are you calling a genie, genie?

You're a genie, too!

A genie pretending
to be a royal wizard.

Can you blame me?
Genies are ridiculous.

Growing up, I was surrounded
by silly genies like you,

but I wanted to be someone silliest.

I dreamt of becoming a royal wizard!

Who was stopping you?

King Habib would never
take a genie seriously!

There was only one way
to get the job of my dreams.

Pretend not to be a genie.

You had me fooled.

I made it look like Kazeem
was making mischief again,

when it was really
[CHUCKLES] yours truly.

All to keep the Genie Patrol

from catching
the sneakiest rogue genie of all.

You!

Good work, Detective.

You deserve a long vacation...

in my lamp.

-[GASPS]
-Most villains

would laugh triumphantly
at this moment,

but that would be silly.

Now, to fix those flying camels
before they make even more trouble!

Kazeem, I'm so sorry.
I was wrong about you.

Can you ever forgive me?

It's too late, Sofia.

Friends are supposed
to stick by each other.

You're right, and that's why
I decided to keep investigating,

because I believe in you,

and I found proof
that you're innocent.

-You did?
-It was Omar.

He pinned the blame on you,

and now he's captured Fizz,
and we need...

The Genie Patrol!

Come on, partner,
we got a rogue genie to catch.

-Dad!
-Sofia?

Why is Kazeem free?

No time to explain, Dad.

I need you to bring King Habib

to the shop where you got
Mom's shawl, right away.

If you think it's important,
I'm on it.

Sofia, there he is!

Omar sesame.

Hold still!

Hey, cut it out! I like my wings.

Kablooie!

Well, well, well.

The Genie Patrol!

I thought I'd gotten rid of you.

SOFIA: Never!

Come on! He's getting away!

SOFIA: Chase him
towards the shawl shop!

We're turning you in!

It's the end of the alley
for you, Omar!

[LAUGHS] The king
will never believe you.

You're right. Your plan was too silly
for anyone to believe.

Silly, me?

I used my genie magic
to grant those wishes,

and I made it look like he did it.

I'd say that's seriously clever.

And I'd say that is why
you're going into your lamp

for a very, very long time.

Guards, seize him!

You'll never catch me!

No!

I am a royal wizard!

This is so... if I may... undignified!

Sergeant Fizz!

Sofia! You sprung me out
of the hoosegow.

-Uh, what?
-You saved me.

It was Kazeem, too, Sarge.

I never doubted him.

Okay, maybe for a minute.

Oh, kid, I blew it!
Can you ever forgive me?

Mmm, okay.

That's my
junior senior junior patrolman.

Thanks, Sarge!

And thank you, Sofia,
for being a true friend.

King Habib, look at this wonderful
green shawl I found for my wife.

KING HABIB: Wow!
