Prince Edward: Nathaniel, old friend!

Nathaniel: Sire, may I suggest that you, uh...

Bus Driver: You? A friend a' his? Crazy tight-wearin'... Are you tryin' to mess up my route?

[Pip jumps onto her forehead, and mimics her]

Morgan Philip: A little bit, but do you think Pip will be ok?

Giselle: Oh, well, I wouldn't worry about Pip. He is very brave. I remember this one time, when the poor wolf was being chased by Little Red Riding Hood around his grandmother's house, and she had an axe... oh, and if Pip hadn't been walking by to help I don't know what would've happened!

Morgan Philip: I don't really remember that version.

Giselle: Well, that's because Red tells it a little differently.

Robert: [tries to stop Nancy from leaving] What... what about taking Morgan to school, you know, for some grown-up girl bonding time?

Nancy Tremaine: What, so you can have some grown-up girl bonding time?

Nancy Tremaine: [glares pointedly at Giselle]

Nancy Tremaine: I don't think so.

Giselle: Is this a habit of yours? Falling off of stuff?

Robert: Only when you're there to catch me.

Pip in Andalasia: Yeah, but who's gonna rescue MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?

[Prince Edward sits on a remote control and sees the TV turn on]

Prince Edward: It seems as if this box controls the Magic Mirror.

Giselle: [after leaving the shower] Good morning, Robert. I hope you had wonderful dreams.

Robert Philip: I think I'm still in one.

Giselle: Oh, it's you.

Prince Edward: Yes, it's me. And you are?

Giselle: Giselle.

Prince Edward: Oh, Giselle! We shall be married in the morning!

Nathaniel: Sire, do you like yourself?

Prince Edward: What's not to like?

Giselle: Now if only I can find a place to rest my head for the night.

Robert Philip: What kind of place?

Giselle: I don't know. Maybe a nearby meadow or a hollow tree.

Robert Philip: A hollow tree?

Giselle: Or a house full of dwarves. I hear they're very hospitable.

Robert: [speaking] And I really don't sing.

[greeting Robert at the King's and Queen's Ball]

Giselle: I'm surprised. You said you couldn't dance.

Robert: I said I didn't. I never said I couldn't.

Giselle: [after Robert knocks on the bathroom door] Hello?

Robert: Okay, you know what? You gotta go. Look, I don't know what your deal is, if you're waiting around for Prince Charming or you're just...?

Giselle: Prince Edward.

Robert: Whatever. Look, I'll get you to a bus, a train, a plane, a whatever, then, that's it. After that, I can't... I can't get involved after that.

[Giselle emerges from the bathroom in a bright blue dress]

Robert: Where did you get that?

Giselle: I made it. Do you like it?

[Robert notices dress-shaped holes in his curtains, and looks quite shocked]

Giselle: You're unhappy.

Robert: *You made a dress out of my curtains*?

Giselle: Oh, you are unhappy!

[first lines]

Narrator: Once upon a time, in a magical kingdom known as Andalasia, there lived an evil queen. Selfish and cruel, she lived in fear that one day her stepson would marry and she would lose her throne forever. And so she did all in her power to prevent the prince from ever meeting the one special maiden with whom he would share true love's kiss.

[last lines]

Narrator: And so, they all lived happily ever after.

[talking about Giselle]

Sam: She has no driver's license, no passport, I can't even find this place she comes from.

Robert: What place?

Sam: Andalusia.

Robert: Andalasia.

Sam: Whatever. I've called every travel agent, every airline. I'm not sure if it's a country or a city.

Robert: It can't be a state.

[Both watch Giselle acting strangely]

Sam: More like a state of mind.

[mimicking Giselle]

Sam: And she told me it's just beyond the meadows of joy and the valley of contentment. What is that all about?

Phoebe Banks: Everybody has problems. Everybody has bad times. Do we sacrifice all the good times because of them?

Phoebe Banks, Ethan Banks: [looking into one another's eyes] No.

Robert: Oh my.

Giselle: Oh my. He's here!

Robert: Apparently.

Giselle: Oh my. Oh my goodness. How do I look?

Robert: Slightly stunned.

Giselle: No, I mean, how do I look?

[mean her appearance]

Robert: You look... beautiful.

Robert: Now she thinks that you and I...

Giselle: Kissed?

Robert: Yeah, something like that.

Robert: So, what's the deal with this prince of yours? How long you been together?

Giselle: [wistfully] Oh, about a day.

Robert: You mean it feels like a day because you're so in love.

Giselle: No, it's been a day.

Robert: You're kidding me. A day? One day?

Giselle: Yes.

[wistful again]

Giselle: And tomorrow it will be two days.

Robert: You're joking.

Giselle: No. I'm not.

Robert: Yeah, you are.

Giselle: But I'm not.

Robert: You're gonna marry somebody after a day? Because you fell in love with him?

Giselle: Yes.

[grins]

Giselle: Yes!

Robert: [laughs as she drags him away]

Giselle: What about you? How long have you known your Nancy?

Robert: Uh, five years.

Giselle: And you haven't proposed?

Robert: Well, no, I...

Giselle: Well no wonder she's angry.

Robert: Well...

Robert: You know most normal people get to know each other before they get married. They date.

Giselle: Date?

Robert: Yeah, you know. Date.

[Giselle shakes her head not understanding]

Robert: You go someplace special, like a restaurant, or a movie, or museum, or you just hang out and you talk.

Giselle: What do you talk about?

Robert: About each other. About yourself. About your interests, your likes your dislikes, you talk.

[both laugh]

Giselle: Oh, you have such strange ideas about love.

Robert: Maybe we should just do what you do. You meet, you have lunch, and you get married.

Giselle: Oh, you forgot about happily ever after.

Robert: Forget about happily ever after, it doesn't exist.

Robert: [off Giselle's look] What?

Giselle: This is a very nice place.

Robert: Yeah?

Giselle: And we're eating dinner.

Robert: Yeah.

Giselle: [happily] This is a date!

Robert: Yeah!

[happy then realizing his mistake]

Robert: No! No. No, no, no, no. We're just, um, we're just friends.

Robert: [after talking on the phone] It was Nancy. She's a lot like the woman in your book. Sweetie... I'm gonna ask her to marry me.

Morgan Philip: What?

Robert: Ye, you like her, don't you? We all get along, we have a good time together.

Morgan Philip: Where's she going to live?

Robert: She's gonna live with us

Morgan Philip: Do I have to give up my bedroom?

Robert: No, you don't have to give up your bedroom. No. Come on, It's gonna be great. I promise. It's not like she's gonna try and be your mother.

Morgan Philip: You mean stepmother.

Robert: She's gonna be a nice stepmother. She's gonna take you to school tomorrow, just you and her, for some grown-up girl-bonding time.

Morgan Philip: I'm only six.

Robert: You won't always be.

Prince Edward: [singing] Yes, there's a maid somewhere I've never met/ Who was made...

Giselle: [smiles, realizes she wasn't paying attention to what he was singing]

Prince Edward: [prompting] ... who was made...

[pauses, and then prompts in a soprano]

Prince Edward: ... to finish...

Giselle: What's wrong?

Prince Edward: You're not singing.

Giselle: Oh. Oh, no I'm not. Well, I was just thinking.

Prince Edward: [perplexed] Think-ing...?

Morgan Philip: But I think she might be a real princess!

Robert Philip: Morgan honey, just because she has on a funny dress doesn't mean she's a princess. She's a seriously confused woman who's fallen into our laps.

[repeated line]

Queen Narissa: Speciosus, formosus, praeclarus!

Queen Narissa: [after being accused of poisoning Giselle] Why would I ever align myself with that buffoon? I mean, think about it. Why...?

Prince Edward: Silence! You lying, murderous wretch! When we return home, Andalasia shall know of your treachery. Your days as queen will be over!

Queen Narissa: Take my crown? Don't you think that's a bit melodramatic, dear?

Prince Edward: I don't know what "melodramatic" means, but you'll be removed from the throne, Narissa. I will see to it.

Giselle: I was just thinking.

Prince Edward: Think-ing?

Giselle: Before we leave, there's one thing I would love to do.

Prince Edward: Well, name it my love, and it is done.

Giselle: I want to go on a date.

Prince Edward: A date!

Prince Edward: What's a date?

Robert: [regarding Morgan] I know she's shy. I know she doesn't have very many friends. I just want her to be strong, you know? To be able to face the world for what it is. That's why I don't encourage the fairy tales. I don't want to set her up to believe in this "dreams come true" nonsense.

Giselle: But dreams do come true. And maybe something wonderful will happen.

Robert: Yeah, well, I forgot who I was talking to.

Giselle: Well, I hope you don't forget. I like talking to you.

Nathaniel: [with an absurd French accent, setting down a glass of apple martini by Giselle] For the nice lady. From a secret admirer.

Giselle: Oh!

Robert: A secret admirer? How come people keep giving you free stuff?

Giselle: What is it?

Nathaniel: It's an apple martini, miss.

Giselle: Oh, apple mar... ooh! It looks yummy.

Robert: Yeah, be careful, it's poisonous.

[Nathaniel growls at him]

Giselle: You're joking.

Robert: Yeah.

Robert: No, they'll creep up on you, though. I'd be really careful.

Giselle: Well, I'll just have one sip.

Nathaniel: A sip is all it takes.

Giselle: [after Robert has cured her, with love's true kiss] I knew it was you.

[kisses him again]

Morgan Philip: [holding up two rats] What do I do with them?

Robert: Get them outside. Get rid of them. Get rid of them.

Morgan Philip: Put them back?

Robert: Put them outside! Don't put them back.

Nancy Tremaine: What do you say, you ready to kick it?

Morgan Philip: [nonplussed] Kick what?

Nancy Tremaine: Why do you still have your PJs on?

Morgan Philip: It's been pretty busy around here.

Giselle: [regarding Morgan and her mom] Does she miss her terribly?

Robert: Miss who?

Giselle: Her mother.

Robert: Um, well, we just...

Giselle: What?

Robert: We don't talk about it.

Giselle: Oh. I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to pry.

Robert: No, no, no, it's okay. It's just, um... I don't talk about it. To Morgan or to anybody.

Giselle: Because it was very sad?

Robert: Not at first.

Giselle: You were in love.

Robert: Yeah. That was the problem.
