The thing is she wore the gloves all the time, so I just thought, maybe she has a thing about dirt…
I like the open gates.

[singing]

Do you wanna build a snowman?Come on, let's go and play!I never see you anymore!Come out the door!It's like you've gone away!We used to be best buddies, and now we're not.I wish you would tell me why!Do you wanna build a snowman?It doesn’t have to be a snowman.

Young Elsa
[from inside her bedroom]

Go away, Anna.

[disappointed]

Okay, bye...

Anna
[Anna and Hans approach Elsa seeking for her to bless their engagement. Elsa looks outright alarmed by the news]

Well, we haven’t worked out all the details ourselves. We’ll need a few days to plan the ceremony. Of course, we’ll have soup, roast, and ice cream. And then... Wait. Would we live here?

Elsa

Here?

Absolutely!

Elsa

Anna.
Anna. Oh, we can invite all twelve of your brothers to stay with us. Of course we have the room. I don’t know, some of them must...

Elsa

What? No. No, no, no, no! Just wait. Slow down! No one's brothers are staying here. No one is getting married.

Anna

Wait, what?

Elsa

May I talk to you, please? Alone?

Anna

No! Whatever you have to say, you... you can say to both of us.

Elsa

Fine. You can't marry a man you just met.

Anna

You can if it's true love.

Elsa

Anna, what do you know about true love?

Anna

More than you. All you know is how to shut people out.

Elsa
[looks hurt by Anna's words, but remains calm]

You asked for my blessing, but my answer is "no". Now... excuse me. [starts to walk away]

Your Majesty, if I may ease your...

Elsa

No, you may not, and I... I think you should go. [to a guard] The party is over. Close the gates.

Guard

Yes, your majesty.

Anna

What? Elsa, no! No, wait! [tries to grab Elsa's hand, but instead yanks off her glove]

Elsa
[gasps in horror; desperately]

Give me my glove.

Anna
[also desperate]

Elsa, please! Please! I can't live like this anymore!

Elsa
[pauses]

Then leave. [Anna looks at her, looking hurt. Elsa then turns to leave.]

Anna
[calling after her]

What did I ever do to you?

Elsa
[impatiently]

Enough, Anna.

Anna

No! Why? Why do you shut me out? Why-why do you shut the world out? What are you so afraid of?!

Elsa

I said ENOUGH!! [swings her hand around, shooting out a wall of icicles around her. Everyone - including Anna - stares at her in shock. Elsa shrinks back, staring in horror at what she's done] (There's your answer, all right?!)

Sorcery. [hides behind one of his bodyguards] I knew there was something dubious going on here.

Anna
[stares at Elsa in horror]

Elsa?
[Devastated, Elsa flees the ballroom.]

Anna
[Anna steps inside Elsa's ice castle. The doors shut behind her. She stares at her surroundings with a look of incredulity]

Whoa. Elsa? It's me, Anna! Whoa! [She slips, but stops herself from falling]

Elsa

Anna? [Elsa appears at the top of the entry staircase, smiling warmly. Anna's gaze quickly shifts to Elsa's ice dress]

Anna

Whoa, Elsa, you look... different! It's a good different! And this place, it's-- it's amazing!

Elsa

Thank you. I never knew what I was capable of.

Anna
[starts up the staircase]

I'm so sorry about what happened. If I'd have known-- [Elsa starts instinctively backing away]

Elsa

No-no-no, it's okay. You--you don't have to apologize, but you should probably go. Please.

Anna

But I just got here.

Elsa

You belong down in Arendelle.

Anna

So do you!

Elsa

No, Anna, I belong here, alone. Where I can be who I am... without hurting anybody.

Anna
[grimaces]

Actually, about that-

[off-screen]

Fifty-eight, fifty-nine, sixty!

Elsa

Wait. What is that? [Olaf enters and runs across the entry foyer to stand next to Anna]

Hi! I'm Olaf, and I like warm hugs!

Elsa
[surprised]

Olaf?

You (use your magic to) built me! Remember that?

Elsa

And you're (somehow) alive?

Yeah, um... I think so? [Elsa takes a secondary look at her hands]

Anna
[kneels down beside Olaf]

He's just like the one we built as kids.

Elsa
[smiles]

Yeah.

Anna

Oh, Elsa, we were so close. We can be like that again.

Elsa
[Elsa smiles, but suddenly the memory of her accidentally hurting Anna when she was 8 years old comes rushing back to her; she turns away]

No, we can't. Goodbye, Anna. [heads upstairs]

Anna

Elsa, wait!

Elsa

I'm just trying to protect you!

Anna

You don't have to protect me! I'm not afraid!

[Elsa loses control of her powers; some of her magic hits Anna in the chest, and she clutches in agony]

Anna, are you okay?

Anna
[feeble]

I'm okay...I'm fine.

Elsa

Who's this? Wait, it doesn’t matter. You have to go.

Anna

No, I know we can figure this out, together!

Elsa

How? What power do you have to stop this winter? To stop me?

Anna, I think we should go.

Anna

No! I'm not leaving without you, Elsa!

Elsa
[worried but with firm finality]

Yes...you “are.
[She fires a blast of magic, creating Marshmallow]

[Hans catches up to Elsa in the storm on the frozen fjord]

Elsa, you can't run from this!

Elsa

Just take care of my sister!

Your sister? She returned from the mountain weak and cold! She said that you froze her heart!

Elsa

No...!

I tried to save her but it was too late! Her skin was ice, her hair turned white... Your sister is dead... because of you.

Elsa

No...
[Elsa turns around and drops to the ground in grief; the blizzard stops]

Anna
[Anna, very weak, struggles to move across the fjord. She suddenly hears the sound of a sword being drawn] [whispers]

Elsa? (Sorry, Kristoff, but I don't have a choice.) [realizes Hans is about to kill Elsa, and uses her final ounce of strength to throw herself in front of Elsa] NOOO!

Elsa
[Anna freezes to solid ice, Hans' sword hits her fingers and shatters, the brute force is enough to knock Hans out cold] (Anna?)

Anna! [gets up and touches Anna's frozen face] Oh, Anna... No, no, please... No.

[Elsa realizes what has happened, throws her arms around the frozen Anna, and begins to cry]

Anna?

Elsa
[Kristoff, Sven, Olaf, and all of the dignitaries in Arendelle mourn the death of Anna. Suddenly, Anna thaws and comes back to life, her hair returns to its normal color] [surprised]

Anna?

Anna
[The sisters hug]

Oh, Elsa.

Elsa

You sacrificed yourself for me?

Anna
[smiles]

I love you.

[gasps, realizing something]

An act of true love can heal a frozen heart!

Elsa
[also realizing something]

Love will thaw. Love. Of course!

Anna

Elsa?

Elsa

Love!
[Elsa begins to thaw Arendelle]

Anna
[after Elsa brings back summer]

I knew you could do it.

[as he begins to melt]

Hands down, this is the best day of my life, and quite possibly, the last.

Elsa

Oh, Olaf! Hang on, little guy. [uses her magic to recreate Olaf and gives him a cloud that produces flurries]

[gasps]

My own personal FLURRY! [giggles]

Elsa
[While the sisters are getting dressed for Coronation day, Elsa accidentally freezes a part of a table and shatters a vase]

No, no, no, no, no. [Looks at her hands.] Calm yourself. Control yourself. [Anna opens the door behind her.]

Anna

Elsa?

Anna
[Elsa hastily grabs a nearby cloth and covers the shattered vase with it. Anna then steps into the room, dripping wet with seaweed in her hair]

I'm here [sighs exhausted]

Elsa

What happened to you?

Anna

Pig, pie ... [Looks through the curtains into the closet.] I mean, not a pig-pie, [She enters the closet.] but pig and pie. [She sticks her head out after tossing out several items of clothing.] And ocean. [Continues rummaging through the dressing room.] Where's my rose dress?

Elsa

Still recovering from the last time you wore it.

Anna

Oh, right. [a shoe nearly hits Elsa in the face which she manages to dodge it] Sorry!

Elsa

Please don't make a mess!

[While Elsa is fleeing from the castle]

There she is! Stop her!

Elsa

Please, just stay away from me! Stay away! [shoots out her icy floor from her left hand, making the Duke and his guards slip]

[pointing at Elsa]

Monster. MONSTER!

Anna
[Elsa looks at her left hand which she covers with her remaining glove then looks at the crowd on her right which they take a step back away from her as they shudder, then she look to her left in which they also take a step back away from her not wanting to be near her as they murmur fearfully, then Elsa flees the courtyard in hot pursuit]

Elsa!

Soldier 1

This way, this way!

Soldier 2

Whoa!

[to Elsa]

Queen Elsa! Don't be the monster they fear you are!
[panting, hearing the warning in Hans' words and realizing what would happen if she committed that behavior/the assault back in Arendelle, Elsa immediately stops her assault on the Duke's henchmen. The men pinned to the wall with icicles aims his crossbow at Elsa. Hans sees this and quickly deflects the arrow upwards away from Elsa which ends up slicing thru the icy chandelier tinkling it and falls, Elsa looks up and gasps so she quickly runs out of it's way but has the shattering fragments hitting her unconscious, high pitched whining as the screen cuts to black, Elsa wakes up with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders, then she sees she's in a dungeon back in Arendelle, she runs towards the dungeon window and stops when she sees that her hands are chained and in shackles, she leans to the window and looks out of the window and sees that Arendelle is frozen over]

Elsa
[guilty]

Oh, no. What have I done.

Elsa
[Elsa gasps softly as Hans comes into the dungeon with a lantern and places it below the left side of the door] [to Hans]

Why did you bring me here?

I couldn't just let them kill you.

Elsa

But I'm in danger to Arendelle. Get Anna.

Anna has not returned yet. If you would just stop the winter, bring back summer, please.

Elsa

Don't you see? I can't. You'll have to tell them to let me go.

I will do what I can.

Elsa
[sighs heavily]


[as she looks back at the shackles on her hands, they start to whiten to ice.]

Elsa
[to the citizens of Arendelle]

Are you ready?
[the citizens of Arendelle cheer in yes; Elsa stamps her foot on the cobblestones, and they freeze over along with the courtyard archways, Elsa freezes the fountains in mid-air with artistic designs, Elsa shoots up a flurry that bursts into a bunch of snowflakes like what she did when she and Anna were children] [everyone cheers and applaudes; Kai and one of the court ladies show off their ice-skating skills] unnamed staff lady: [to Kai] Swing me.

Anna
[Last lines]

I like the open gates.

Elsa

We are never closing them again. [makes skates on Anna's shoes]

Anna

Oh, Elsa, they're beautiful, but you know I don't skate.

Elsa

Come on, you can do it! [pulls Anna across the ice]

[skates by with Sven]

Look out, reindeer coming through!

Anna
[stumbling]

I got it! I got it! Ooh! I don't got it! I don't got it!

[skates over to help Anna]

Hey, guys!

Elsa

That's it, Olaf.

Glide and pivot... and glide and pivot... and glide and pivot...
