And it does.

How about a round of applause for the amazing genie?

[Applause]

- Thank you, thank you.

You are too kind. Very nice.

But... [Sobs]

- What's wong, genie?

- Everyone is so happy except for me.

I still don't know where I'm going to live.

I miss my lamp.

What am I going to do?

- You have to go and look for a new home, genie.

I'm sure there are other great places to live in this desert.

- Yes, that's it.

I will search the desert, high and low,

Until I have found myself the perfect home.

- Do you want us to help you look for a home, genie?

- Well, actually, maybe that's a good idea--no.

You three stay and enjoy your wishes.

See you later.

All: bye, genie.

I have searched everywhere.

It's hopeless.

Wait a minute.

Careful with the celewy.

- Sorry, ming-ming.

I just can't control where the celery grows.

- Just like I can't stop hugging everything.

- Wonder pets, help!

- Did you hear that?

- I can't stop!

- Look, the genie's in that lamp.

- And he's rolling down that dune.
