Mia

Now, what did you want to tell me?

Clarisse Renaldi

Something that, I think, will have a very big impact upon your life.

Mia

I already had braces.

Clarisse Renaldi

No, it's bigger than orthodontia.

Helen, if Amelia refuses to accept the throne, then Genovia will cease to exist as we know it.

Helen Thermopolis

So the future of your country is in the hands of my 15-year-old?

Mia
[sees Clarisse in her house]

Oh, this is a nightmare! I'm going back to bed! [starts to walk out]

Helen Thermopolis
[desperately]

Mia, the-the three of us have to talk.

Mia
[bitterly]

Oh, OK. Um, is there maybe something else about me and my life that just maybe I might want to know about? Um-oh no, are you two waiting to take me on a talk show somewhere and to let me know I have a twin sister who's a duchess?

Clarisse Renaldi

You have a cousin who's a contessa. Fondly known as Bartholomew. Actually, we call him Pookie.

Helen Thermopolis

This is getting us nowhere! Talk to me!

Mia

I can't talk to you right now. I'm late for a meeting with my guidance counselor.

Clarisse Renaldi

I'm late for a meeting with Spain and Portugal!

Clarisse Renaldi
[after Mia, Prime Minister Motaz, and Sheila Motaz make a scene from eating the ice cream too quickly]

Have you ever experienced that instant headache when you eat ice too quickly?

Emperor Sakamoto
[briefly shakes his head]

No.

Clarisse Renaldi

Do we have any problems?

Charlotte Kutaway
[overenthusiastically]

No, everything's perfect. Perfect. It's wonderful.

Clarisse Renaldi

You're not very good at lying, Charlotte.

Charlotte Kutaway

No, I'm not, your Majesty.
