7 scenes
[while watching a list of possible husbands, a picture of Prince William appears]

Yes! Oh yes! I, I, I absolutely accept!

Charlotte Kutaway

Prince William. He's not eligible because he's in line for his own crown.

[Disappointed]

Oh.

Joe

If he's not eligible, why is he included in these pictures?

Charlotte Kutaway

I just love to look at him.

Mmm-hmm.

Joe

Your majesty!

Charlotte Kutaway

Antoine Suisson of Paris. Plays the harp. No title, but good family.

What about the title "husband?"

Yeah, he's cute.

Joe

His boyfriend thinks he's handsome, also.
Mia and Lilly [together]: Right on.

No matter. Put him on all the invitation lists, he's a divine dancer.

Joe

Viscount, you may not be aware of what my job entails as the Royal Head of Security. My job is to protect the crown. To make sure no harm comes to the crown. To step in when someone toys with the crown's emotions.

Viscount Mabrey

I think the entire country understands how well you cater for the crown's emotions.

Joe
[pause]

If you hurt my girl, you will answer directly to me, and whatever crimes I commit against you, remember, I have diplomatic immunity in 46 countries, including Puerto Rico.

Viscount Mabrey

Sir, you will find that the word "fear" is not in my vocabulary!

Joe

Perhaps... but it's in your eyes.

[singing to herself while watching Mia and Andrew play badminton]

They're smitten, while playing badminton. Where's my kitten?

Joe
[to Mia]

The heart does things for reasons that reason cannot understand.

[sees Nicholas]

My hello is insignificant. Rosencrantz, Guilderstern, let's go.

Charlotte
[Mia, Lily, Clarisse, Charlotte, and Joe are going through a slideshow of possible husbands for Mia]

Baron Johann Klemp.

No, not appropriate. He's a complusive gambler.

Mia
[A picture of Prince William appears] [gasps]

Yes! Oh yes! I, I, I absolutely accept!

Charlotte
[giggles]

Prince William. He's not eligible because he's in line for his own crown.

Mia
[disappointed]

Oh.

Joe

If he's not eligible, why is he included in these pictures?

Charlotte
[dreamily]

I just love to look at him.

Me too.

Mia

Mmm-hmm.

Joe

Your Majesty!

Next?

Charlotte

Antoine Suisson of Paris. Plays the harp. Uh, no title, but good family.

Lily

What about the title "husband?"

Mia

Yeah, he's cute.

Joe

His boyfriend thinks he's handsome, also.

Right on.

No matter. Put him on all the invitation lists, he's a divine dancer. Next. [slideshow continues] Too old. Too young.

Lily
[to Mia]

Does this popcorn taste like pears?

Mia

Mmmm. Genovian specialty.

Joe

Arrested too many times.

Wait, no. We need someone titled. Someone who can help you run a country without ego getting in the way. Someone attractive, smart, but not arrogant. Someone with compassion...

Mia

Someone like him? [points to Andrew’s picture]

Yes! Someone very much like him. Good choice, Mia! I wonder I didn't think of him before!

Charlotte

Andrew Jacoby, Duke of Kennelwith.

Lily
[admiringly]

Oh.

Mia
[unsure]

Well, he looks... decent.

Mia

Joe? I just wanted to say, before I do this, I'm sorry you're retiring.

Joe

Who told you that?

Mia

The maids know everything.

Joe

Princess-- then you should know that Nicholas did not set you up at the lake.

Mia

You sure?

Joe

The maids know everything.
