23 scenes
Oh, by the way, I'm getting married!
To who?
I don't know.
Your Majesty, I would gladly take a bullet for you.
Queen Clarisse Renaldi Oh, how brave. Most interns don't even want to fetch me my tea.
[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.
If he's not eligible, why is he included in these pictures?
Charlotte Kutaway
I just love to look at him.
Queen Clarisse Renaldi Me too.
Mmm-hmm.
Your majesty!
Queen Clarisse Renaldi Next?
Charlotte Kutaway
Antoine Suisson of Paris. Plays the harp. No title, but good family.
What about the title "husband?"
Yeah, he's cute.
His boyfriend thinks he's handsome, also.
Mia and Lilly [together]: Right on.
Queen Clarisse Renaldi No matter. Put him on all the invitation lists, he's a divine dancer.
Security Guard Shades
No.
Ever take those shades off?
Security Guard Shades
No.
I'm Nick. Viscount Mabrey's nephew.
Andrew Jacoby Ah, the chap who's trying to stage the palace coup. I'm Andrew Jacoby. Nice to meet you.
[Thrusting out her hand to shake his]
Lilly Moscovitz, official best friend of future queen. I don't like you.
Pleasure.
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.
[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!
Perhaps... but it's in your eyes.
I loathe you!
I loathe YOU!
I loathed you FIRST!
[Grabs Mia Thermopolis and kisses her]
What are you doing? You can't just kiss people! Particularly engaged people!
You enjoyed it. Do you want to kiss again?
Well I... Stop trying to confuse me!
What's confusing about a kiss?
I know what you're trying to do! You're trying to make me like you so I won't marry Andrew that way you can have the crown!
Maybe I am... or maybe I just like kissing you.
Andrew Jacoby She's going to be a handful, isn't she?
Queen Clarisse Renaldi You'll never be bored, Andrew.
Queen Clarisse Renaldi [stops]
In hushed tones, Lionel. Hushed tones.
Princess Mia! Princess Mia!
Nothing, I'm just supposed to watch you.
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, with hair so fine. Come out your window, climb down the vine.
The feat you ask, dear sir, isn't easy. And I won't respond to that line, it's far too cheesy.
Tell me your greatest desires.
Tell me a secret.
Isn't that the same thing?
Almost, but anyone can see your desires. No one knows what's in your heart.
Nicolas Devereaux
Tell me something.
I love "I Love Lucy" reruns and sometimes I dream in black and white.
Nicolas Devereaux
I used to pretend to be sick when I had a test in school.
We all did that.
Nicolas Devereaux
OK...I put chocholate milk in my cereal.
I'm deathly afraid of jelly fish.
I haven't danced with you since your birthday.
That's a fact, not a secret.
The secret is that I still want to.
Paolo But a very cute moose. Make all the boy moose go 'WHAAAAA.'
I have antlers!
Paolo WHAAAAA!
If I may be so bold, I would like an audience with your Highness.
You are, in fact. I'm in love with the Queen-to-be, and I am enquiring if she loves me too.
No. No, my kitchen is out of chickens.
(Kisses Mia)
How do you feel today, my dear
Honstly, Joe? Not that great.
Would you feel better if you called me "Joey"?
No, Joe.
Good
Queen Clarisse (Queen Clarisse decides to marry Joe)
My Lord Archbishop, I'd like to take this man as my husband if you please.
Archbishop
(looks skyward)
Finally!
(Queen Clarisse's face drops into one of shock)
Charlotte
[Mia, Lily, Clarisse, Charlotte, and Joe are going through a slideshow of possible husbands for Mia]
Baron Johann Klemp.
Queen Clarisse No, not appropriate. He's a complusive gambler.
Charlotte
[giggles]
Prince William. He's not eligible because he's in line for his own crown.
If he's not eligible, why is he included in these pictures?
Charlotte
[dreamily]
I just love to look at him.
Queen Clarisse Me too.
Mmm-hmm.
Your Majesty!
Queen Clarisse Next?
Charlotte
Antoine Suisson of Paris. Plays the harp. Uh, no title, but good family.
What about the title "husband?"
Yeah, he's cute.
His boyfriend thinks he's handsome, also.
Right on.
Queen Clarisse No matter. Put him on all the invitation lists, he's a divine dancer. Next. [slideshow continues] Too old. Too young.
Mmmm. Genovian specialty.
Arrested too many times.
Queen Clarisse 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...
Someone like him? [points to Andrew’s picture]
Queen Clarisse Yes! Someone very much like him. Good choice, Mia! I wonder I didn't think of him before!
Charlotte
Andrew Jacoby, Duke of Kennelwith.
I can’t ride side-saddle.
Queen Clarisse No, no, no, neither could I when I was your age and quite frankly, dear, it is ACUTELY uncomfortable. Herbie is my riding companion, here he is.
Queen Clarisse Herbie.
It's a wooden leg.
Queen Clarisse Yes.
That is impressively sneaky, Grandma, did you think of this yourself?
Queen Clarisse No, it's a centuries old idea, our ancestors know something about being comfortable, right, you just drape your skirt over it and no one suspects a thing!
[Queen Clarisse and Nicholas have been discussing why Mia should or shouldn't be Queen, and Clarisse tells Nicholas what a wonderful person Mia is.]
I know that.
Queen Clarisse You do?
Yes. Yes, I do, but-- well, how can one rule the people, if one does not know the people?
Queen Clarisse Touché. That's a very good question.
I thought you never slide.
Queen Clarisse I don't. But I've done a lot of flying in my time.
Asana Is she really going to do this?
Elsie Kentworth
Keep your eggs sunny side up!
I'd like to tell her what she can do with her eggs, she can--
Queen Clarisse Lily. Could we have a moment alone?
Grandma, I'm so sorry, I- I just need a minute--
Queen Clarisse No.
I can do this--
Queen Clarisse No!
I can't do this.
Queen Clarisse I know. Darling, listen to me, I made my choice: duty to my country over love. Now I have lost the only man I have ever really loved. Don't make the same mistakes I made, make your own mistakes, there'll be plenty of them, believe me. Now you can go back into that church and get married, or you can walk away. Whatever choice you make, let it come from your heart.
