WOMAN: Okay, baby step,
baby step, wait.

Wait right there.

Nice, wait, and hold it.

Hold it right there.

Nice, nice, okay, hold it.

Chin down, chin down.

Left, just a little baby step
to your left.

Your other left.
Left. Freeze.

Freeze a little.
Hold a little bit, hold.

Stop! A little bit, hold.

Hold. Move your shoulder
towards me.

Towards me, towards me.
Hold, hold and...

[sighs]

And that'’s how it's done.

Oh, I know how it'’s done.

Oh, really?
You could'’ve fooled me.

How long you been
working for me now?

- Two years.
- Let'’s try to remember

that we are on a Christmas
time schedule here,

and Carson Designs
is one of my biggest clients.

I will not lose them,
understand?

- Get into your next ensemble!
- Yes, Ms. Charles.

Kyle, get down from that ladder
before someone gets hurt.

- I'’m fine.
- I am not worried about you.

I'’m worried about me.

Let'’s get set up
for the next session

and try to get it right
the first time.

All right,
let'’s go, let's go.

I don'’t wanna be late
for my lunch.

Yes, Melanie,
but Mr. Carson did call,

and he'’s gonna be late,
so you have plenty of time.

Of course.

And clean this mess up!

Wow. Wonder what got
into the boss today.

Pressure, Kyle.

- Just a little bit of pressure.
- Pressure?

That woman'’s got ice water
running through her veins.

I don'’t think she even knows
what the word "pressure" means.

Oh, she does,
and she likes it,

especially when it'’s being
applied to other people.

Isn'’t that right, Kristin?

Melanie'’s right, Josh.

I told you you weren'’t
on the right track.

This just confirms
my suspicions.

Tell me something.
How is it that a girl

who'’d been here for just a short
period of time know so much?

I might be fairly new
around here,

but I plan on making
a long career out of it.

Well, well, well.

We got ourselves a Melanie Jr.
on our hands.

Well, you heard the lady.
Let'’s clean up, come on.

ALBERT: Very disturbing,
Your Highness.

This has got to stop,
and it has got to stop now.

I agree completely.

The young prince is on his way
here now, King Fredrick.

Good. Now maybe we'’ll learn
what this is all about.

You wanted to see me, Father?

Come in, please.

Sit down.

Would you like
to explain this?

Just a bit of harmless fun.

This has gone on
for far too long.

Father...

Son, listen to me.

Ever since your dear mother
left this world,

I have tried my best
to be both parents to you,

and I failed.

- Please don'’t say that.
- No, it'’s true.

But she left behind
an incredible legacy:

Her charitable work
to erase illiteracy

throughout the continent.

A noble cause befitting a queen.

Her annual charity ball
was last week,

an event you were to host
as my representative,

and instead, I get this.

You never even showed up.

I know. I'’m sorry.
Father--

You have dodged
every single responsibility

I have entrusted to you.

Albert.

This is your
credit card statement.

Being a prince isn'’t cheap.

I would never dream of passing
my debts onto the people,

if you'’ll just allow me
to pay the bill.

Oh, enough of this!

You, my son,
are on your way to America.

America?

We'’re sponsoring our charity
holiday fashion festival

in association with Dan Carson.

I'’m not sending our usual
ambassador this year.

I'’m sending you.

You will host it.

Sorry, but I already
have plans next week

with the ski club
in the Alps.

Albert will accompany you,
and with any luck,

you will learn the true value
of accepting your role

as my son
and heir to my throne.

Don'’t disappoint me.

Yes, Father.

And we need to get early access
to the Carson estate this time.

I don'’t want another fiasco
like last year.

Of course, Melanie.

We need to get gate codes
and keys by this afternoon.

We get one shot

at making this Christmas charity
fashion festival a hit.

If it'’s not, Mr. Carson
will probably have my head.

Oh.

But not before
I chop off yours.

We won'’t let it get to that.

See that you don'’t.
Now I'’ve got to rush.

Oh, make sure that Josh has
that new campaign ready to go.

We need to launch that
by tomorrow afternoon,

and it better be good.

I'’m sure it will be.

- [sighs]
- Hey, Kristin.

Hey, Jill.

How'’s everything going?

Oh, you know, the usual.

Oh, sister, do I.

The Christmas holiday'’s
always tough,

but planning a big show
on top of all of this

is just making people crazy.

And it starts at the top.

Still, it'’s good
for the company.

True.

You know, I'’ve been thinking
about something.

Have you shown them any of
your original designs yet?

I think you'’re wasting
your time around here.

You should be designing
campaigns for Carson.

Not yet, but I'’m hoping to show
my ideas to Mr. Carson

when he comes in.

Good.

I really like this one.

That'’s great!

I hope Mr. Carson agrees.

Well, you know, he doesn'’t
come around very often.

If you want him to see it,
you'’re gonna have to go to him.

I know, but maybe
I'’ll get lucky.

[laughing]

Hey, look.
What'’s he doing goofing off?

Hmm. I'’ll see you later.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

Want coffee?

No, but I do want you
to keep your job.

Nobody wants to be unemployed
at Christmastime.

I know we have this little
intra-office rivalry going on,

but if you and I
were to team up,

I believe we could
take this place over.

- You and me?
- Mm-hmm.

[laughs]
I don'’t think so.

I wanna get ahead,
just not that badly.

MAN: You'’ve been doing a great
job for me and my company

for how long?

Five years now, Dan.

That'’s right, five years,
and you'’ve never let me down.

Thank you.
You'’re my number one client.

So I'’m gonna do you a favor.
A big favor.

I'’m all ears.

This is my Christmas present
to you.

This guy is
a personal friend of mine,

and he has a line of high-end
ladies handbags,

and he needs someone like you.

This could be a huge contract
for your company.

I don'’t know what to say.
Thank you.

- He'’s agreed to meet you.
- Great.

- Tomorrow morning.
- No problem.

- In Boston.
- Boston?

Well, like I said,
no problem.

Thank you for this, Dan.

You have no idea
how much I appreciate it.

Just don'’t blow it.

This guy is a powerhouse,

but this could mean
a million bucks to you.

I won'’t. Don't worry.

Kristin.

I got the catering quote
that you asked for.

- I just put it on your desk.
- Great.

If it'’s what we agreed upon,
go ahead and book '’em.

All right.

Listen, I'’m gonna need you
to put in some overtime.

I have to leave town
for a few days,

and I'’ll need you
to watch my dog.

Leave town? But--

But what?

The Edgemoor Ambassador
is due here in a day'’s time.

I know, and I really
should be here,

but I got a line on a new
client in Boston, a big one.

Just need a little time
to woo them face-to-face.

You know, when you see
an opportunity, you grab it.

That'’s what I always say.

It certainly is.

- That'’s where you come in.
- Me?

Yeah, you'’re going to entertain
the ambassador and his cronies

until I get back.

You'’ll be fine as long as
he doesn'’t bore you to death.

I don'’t have any experience
with royalty.

What if I mess up?

Kristin, you'’re
my executive assistant.

You'’re supposed to be
quick on your feet.

Besides, an ambassador doesn'’t
really qualify as royalty.

You just take
the company credit card,

you buy him a few nice dinners,
you'’ll be fine.

I'’ll try my best,
but it makes me very nervous.

Listen, if this was
a member of the royal family,

I would definitely have
to handle it myself.

It'’s Mr. Carson's
strictest rule.

But it'’s not,
so don'’t panic.

You'’re always asking
for more responsibility.

Now you got it.
Run with it.

Thank you, Melanie.

Jill.

Wow, you look stressed.
Is everything okay?

Melanie just dropped
a bombshell on me.

That explains
the look on your face.

She'’s leaving for Boston
for a few days.

When is she leaving?

She'’s leaving
on a red-eye tonight.

Oh, so you know
what that means?

It means you'’re in charge.

All right!

And it also means
I have to babysit her dog.

- Yeah, that too.
- What a treat.

Look, I'’ll keep you company
tonight, if you want.

Would you?

What are friends for?

Oh, thank you.

I thought I'’d find you here.

Merry Christmas.

So you found a date for tonight.

Oh, yeah, Falkor.

He'’s a real charmer,
but he doesn'’t talk much.

Don'’t complain.
At least you have a date.

He'’s all yours
if you want him.

And cut into
your executive privilege?

Not a chance.

That'’s what I thought.

You know,
he'’s a real cheap date.

- [ding]
- Oh, the cookies are done.

Ooh, cookies!

So why did Melanie
leave town so suddenly?

She has her sights set
on a new client,

and she has to meet him before
he leaves for the holidays.

Bottom line is,
she has left me

to juggle the Edgemoor
ambassador on my own.

So you have to babysit him
and her little dog?

Mm-hmm.

JILL: Hey, these look great.

Yeah, I'’ll make someone
a great wife one day.

If you keep baking like this,
I'’m sure you will.

I know, right?

I just wish Melanie
would see me

as something more than
just a professional gofer.

I have potential,
real potential,

and I could make a difference
if she'’d just give me a chance.

Maybe you need
to make your own chances.

I must admit,
I'’m rather surprised.

There doesn'’t seem to be that
many cars out in Los Angeles.

This is Beverly Hills,
Your Highness.

People don'’t wake up
until 10 a.m.

Here'’s to the pleasures
of Beverly Hills.

Work first, Your Highness.

Pleasures second.

Albert, whose side are you on?

On the side of the crown, sir.

Of course.

And who exactly
is our liaison on this trip?

Melanie Charles.
It says here

she'’s one of the best
P.R. people in the business,

a real no-nonsense,
hard-as-nails go-getter.

Melanie Charles.
Sounds pretty stiff.

We'’ll know soon enough

what Ms. Melanie Charles
is all about.

Melanie, please forgive me,

but I don'’t have anything
appropriate to wear.

Oh, thank goodness
you'’re here.

Barely.
I tossed and turned all night.

That darn dog snores.

Do I recognize that dress?

I-- I had to borrow it.

I can'’t meet the ambassador
in one of my outfits.

What would he think?

She won'’t be back for days.

And besides,

she would want you
to look your best

when you meet the ambassador.

You think?

I'’m positive.

Okay.

Adequate.

Quite a spread,
as they say in America.

PATRICK: This might not
turn out too badly.

Oh, my,
would you look at that.

Oh, my,
would you look at that.

Melanie Charles, perhaps?

Wouldn'’t that be a plus.

When you see an opportunity,
you grab it.

That'’s what Melanie always says.

- Yeah, go get him.
- Okay.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Good morning.

On behalf of
Charles P.R. Global,

I'’d like to welcome you
to Los Angeles.

Ambassador.

Oh, no, I'’m sorry.
I'’m not the ambassador.

I'’m Albert.

Oh, I'’m sorry.
Then you must be--

Patrick.

Prince Patrick of Edgemoor.

Prince?

Oh, I was expecting--

The ambassador, I know.

But my father,
King Frederick,

thought that perhaps this year,
it might be best

if I hosted the Christmas
charity show in person,

representing the monarch'’s
charitable pursuits, of course.

Well, it'’s a pleasure
to meet you.

I hope I haven'’t
spoiled anything.

I'’ve heard nothing but great
things about you, Melanie.

Mel-- Melanie? I...

Yes, Melanie.

Your reputation precedes you.

Indeed, it does,
and now I can see

that you are beautiful
as well as talented.

She certainly is.

Well, thank you,

but believe me,
the pleasure is all mine.

This is Jill.

Lovely to meet you.

Well, I hope you had
a pleasant flight.

If you would care to follow me,

I'’ll show you
the amenities of the hotel.

That sounds perfect. Albert,
would you see to the luggage?

Of course.

I'’m sure you'll enjoy
your stay here, Your Majesty.

It is Christmas
on the west coast, after all,

where you can see Santa surfing
the waves of Malibu

or shop for toys on Rodeo Drive.

I'’m sure it's very different
to Christmas in Edgemoor.

Well, I'’ll let you decide that.
Thank you.

I can help you
with your bags, Albert,

and if you need anything
during your stay,

I hope you'’ll think of me.
My name is Jill.

Thank you, Jill.

I'’m sorry we were so delayed.

Customs queues, of course.

Of course.

Come on, then,
I'’ll get you settled in.

Right.

The hotel is private
and very exclusive.

It'’s equipped
with an outdoor patio,

a health spa, and lounge.

It'’s its own little world.

I'’ll have no need to go outside
if I don'’t want to.

True, but it'’s Christmas
in Los Angeles.

We have some great photo ops
and public relations to do,

and it'’s not every day
you get a real-life prince.

People will be interested.

Duty first.

I'’m afraid so, but I'll make it
as fun for you as I can.

I'’m counting on it.

Jill, why on Earth
would you say I was Melanie?

Look, he'’s a prince,
and you'’re an assistant.

He'’ll be insulted if he knew
that Melanie ran off to Boston

to court a new client.

And besides,
you can almost pass for her.

I mean, you'’re helping her
save face.

You have to do it.

Now, get on it.

All right.
Is everything set up?

- Yes, everything'’s fine.
- Good.

Now, here'’s your itinerary
for tomorrow.

Okay, first stop,
Carson Estates. Great.

Everything is
practically moved in.

Oh, and can you tell
our royal guest

that a car will pick him up
at 10 a.m.?

- You got it.
- Okay.

And, Kristin,
this is your big chance

to show Melanie
what you can really do.

Don'’t mess it up.

Thanks for reminding me.

What are friends for?

- What a day.
- [Falkor barks]

I know, but I think
it went pretty well.

He'’s a real prince too.

- Imagine that.
- [barks]

I know it doesn'’t
matter much to you,

but to me,
it'’s a golden opportunity

to show Melanie that I can
shoulder responsibility

with the best of them.

I know. Who cares?

- Just bring on the grub.
- [barks]

Okay, okay, hold your horses.
I'’m on it.

[phone vibrates]

It'’s Melanie.

Hey, Melanie!
How'’s Boston?

Awful. I'’m snowed in.

Oh, uh, no.

Oh, yes.

How'’s my little Falkor?

Oh, Falkor'’s just fine.

We'’re gonna watch
a movie tonight.

- Movie? What movie?
- Christmas Cruise.

Oh, he likes that one.

Make sure you don'’t
overfeed him.

I won'’t.

Did the ambassador arrive?

Yes, he did,

and I'’m going to
escort him around tomorrow.

Good. Take him to a place
they offer a senior discount.

How long are you
gonna be in Boston?

I don'’t know.

They'’re talking about canceling

all flights out of Logan.

I may be stuck here
for a while.

I might even miss the show.

Oh, no!

That'’s terrible.

Well, you don'’t need to worry

because the show is
practically running itself,

and the ambassador
is in great hands with me.

Great.

My potential client won'’t
even come out on a snow day,

so I have no idea
what'’s gonna happen next.

Well, don'’t worry about a thing

because I'’ve got
all the bases covered.

Good girl. And, Kristin?

Stop sounding so cheerful.

Yes, Melanie.

Bye.

[Falkor barks]

Okay, Falkor.

KRISTIN: This is where
the festival will take place.

PATRICK: I couldn'’t imagine
anything more ideal.

KRISTIN: I agree. I think
it'’s the perfect backdrop

for the perfect event.

I would also agree.

Carson'’s guests pay
a pretty penny to attend,

but it is for charity.

Our P.R. company contributes
a fair share as well.

Indeed. And what types of
charities do you support?

Well, I think we all
support charities

that really speak to us, right?

Of course, yes.

Well, Carson spreads
its proceeds around.

It changes from year to year,

but Charles P.R. Global is
a little bit more traditional.

What charities
are you involved with?

Um, well,
much like you Americans,

we like to diversify
whenever we can.

That'’s a good approach.

My mother, she used to host
a charity ball each year

in support of literacy.

Used to?

Well, she'’s gone now,
but we still host it each year

in the queen'’s honor.

I see.

She must have been
a great lady.

She was.

Oh, there you are.

- Mary, how can I help you?
- Here you go.

Oh, thank you.

And now, if you'’ll excuse me,

I need to finish
passing these out.

Right.

Right.

Holiday card?

Sort of. Every year, we each
sponsor a child who needs

a little extra help getting
to that merry Christmas.

PATRICK: How wonderful.

Yeah, we call it
the "Christmas buddy program,"

and this is mine.

Her name is...

Amy.

Oh.

Her address is
The Children'’s Hospital.

May I?

Oh, she looks like
a very sweet little girl.

Hope it'’s nothing
too serious.

Well, The Children'’s Hospital
is one of our company'’s

most important causes.

You know, I'’ve always heard
that corporate America

couldn'’t care less about
the troubles of others,

only interested
in the bottom line,

doing whatever it takes
to get ahead.

It'’s refreshing to see that
this isn'’t always the case.

Well, you can'’t believe
everything you hear, right?

Apparently not.

Look, why don'’t we go
regroup back at the hotel,

and I'’ll take you to lunch.

- Perfect.
- Great.

I'’ll tell them
to bring your car around.

Lovely.

Ah, there you are.

Had a look around, did you?

See anything you liked?

Yes, very exciting.

The property or Melanie Charles?

Miss Charles, of course.

Of course.

She really is
such a fascinating young lady.

So smart, so caring.

You left out "stunning."

All for king and country,
Albert.

I'’m delighted we finally see
eye-to-eye,

but I suspect Miss Charles
had something to do with that.

You can suspect all you want,
my dear friend,

but I have lunch with Melanie,

and I feel something sporty
may be in order.

Perfect.

Right on time.

I try to be punctual.

Sadly, I don'’t,

but for you,
I made an exception.

I see.

Um, so what would you
like to do for lunch?

We could go to Beverly Hills
or Brentwood.

We could just grab
a sandwich of some sort,

but what I'’d really love to do
is just relax

and take in the ocean view.

- The ocean?
- Yes.

I caught a glimpse of
the beach as we were flying in,

and as Edgemoor is
a landlocked country,

I love to take in the shoreline
whenever I can.

All right,
I think I have an idea,

but first, we need
to pick up something.

PATRICK: This is truly amazing.

Imagine having
something so beautiful

right at your fingertips.

I would'’ve thought as a prince,
you would have seen

your fair share
of beautiful ocean views.

It'’s true, and I have,

but the French Riviera and
Monaco are just so built up.

They'’re full of nightclubs
and large hotels.

This is just so unspoiled,
so natural.

KRISTIN: I see what you mean.

But honestly,
nothing in comparison to this.

[Kristin chuckles]

[sighs]

Isn'’t it beautiful?

PATRICK: Stunning,
just stunning.

Would you care for some lunch?

Famished.

Wait till you see
what I got us.

Of course.

There you go.

There you are.

What is it?

Well, you said
you wanted a sandwich.

Indeed, I did.

And what is this thing called?

Well, I thought,
because we'’re near the ocean

that an Italian submarine
sandwich would be appropriate.

[laughing]
Submarine sandwich?

Never even heard
of such a thing.

- Wait till you try it.
- All right.

Mmm! It'’s excellent!

Well, it'’s no high-water mark
of gourmet cuisine,

but it'’s pretty darn tasty.

The simplest things
are often the best things.

You'’re gonna need this.

And what is that?

A Christmas eggnog latte.

[laughing]
I don'’t believe it.

All right, well,
here goes nothing.

Mm! It is absolutely delicious!

Do you know what? I think
I'’m going to start importing

submarine sandwiches
into Edgemoor.

They'’ll be a huge success.

You can open
your own franchise.

That'’s a very good idea.

- Now what?
- I thought after lunch,

you could just relax
at the hotel,

and I'’m just gonna swing by
The Children'’s Hospital.

I have a stuffed animal
for my Christmas buddy.

Well, unless you'’re eager
to get rid of me,

I'’d be happy to come along.

No, not at all,
if that'’s what you really want.

I'’d love to spend
the day with you.

Barnholtz is down the hall
at 213.

- Thank you.
- Sure.

Excuse me, nurse?

Yes, can I help you?

Do you know
where Amy'’s room is?

Oh, she'’s down the hall at 202.

Are you here to visit her?

Yeah, I brought her this.

Aww, she'’ll like that.
Are you a friend of Amy'’s?

Not yet, but I hope to be.

I'’m her Christmas buddy.

Oh, good.

Poor thing hasn'’t had
a visitor in weeks.

No visitors?

She'’s from the children's home.

She doesn'’t have any family,

so I'’m sure she'll be happy
to see you.

We won'’t be here very long.

Is she very ill?

I'’m sorry, I'm not allowed
to discuss her condition,

but just know that
she'’s a very sweet girl

that really needs
a friend right now.

Thank you.

Come in.

Hi.

Are you a doctor?

No, I'’m your Christmas buddy,

and this is Prince Patrick
of Edgemoor.

A real prince?

At your service, milady.

It'’s very nice to meet you,
Prince Patrick.

And this is for you.

To keep?

Well, he'’s not much,
but he needs a friend,

and he'’s all yours.

He'’s so soft, and it gets
so cold in here at night.

Well, maybe he can
help you with that.

I'’m sure he will.

How are you doing today, Amy?

The doctor said
I was doing better,

so I guess I'’m okay.

Well, that'’s very good news.

And how old are you?

Nine-and-a-half so far.

Do you have any plans
for Christmas, Amy?

What would you like to do?

Well, if I could,
I'’d like to leave here.

Well, maybe with permission,
you can join us

at our holiday fashion show.

Would you like to do that?

I sure would.

I think between the three of us,
we can make that happen.

That would be great.

Because it turns out
that your Christmas buddy

is a very important person.

Maybe she could
pull some strings.

Really?

What do you say, Melanie?

What, me?

Well, you do own
the P.R. firm, don'’t you?

Shouldn'’t be too much trouble.

No, no, no problem at all.

It'’s just that I'm,
you know, not really--

Good. I knew you wouldn'’t mind.

Why would I mind?

Well, we should
probably get going.

It was so nice to meet you, Amy,
and I will see you tomorrow.

Okay, bye.

Bye.

She'’s very nice.

That, she is.

Is she your girlfriend?

No. Do you think
she should be?

She'’s so pretty.

Well, you'’re
a very pretty girl too.

Thank you.

And such lovely hair.

Can you keep a secret?

Absolutely.

It'’s a wig.

Oh.

I don'’t have
any real hair right now.

It all fell out.

It'’s all right
for people to know,

but only if you
want them to know.

I'’ll be back soon.
I promise.

Okay.

Well, here we are,
safe and sound.

Thank you for a wonderful day.
Will I see you tomorrow?

Absolutely. We have a few
photo ops set up for you

to help promote the show.

That sounds like work.

I was hoping you had a few more
entertaining ideas in mind.

Maybe afterward.

I'’ll have the limo
call for you at 11 a.m.

If you must.

Good afternoon, then.

Good afternoon.

[phone rings]

Hello, this is Kristin.

Kristin, this is Dan Carson.

- Mr. Carson.
- Sorry to bother you.

The office gave me your number.

I'’ve been trying
to reach Melanie.

Is she back yet?

No, sir, she'’s stuck in Boston,
snowed in.

I see.

Everything running on schedule?

Yes, sir.

I'’m on it.
Everything'’s shipshape.

As it should be
with you in charge.

I'’ve heard great things about you, Kristin.

Thank you, sir.
I won'’t let you down.

Be sure you don'’t.
Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Oh, my goodness.
What have I gotten myself into?

A royal prince,
and I think he likes me.

I can'’t believe my luck.

[whines]

There'’s just
one teensy problem.

He thinks I'’m Melanie.

Thank goodness Melanie and I
are about the same size.

I really shouldn'’t
be doing this,

but it'’s for a good cause.

She'’d be fine with it.

I'’m sure she would.

Oh, brother, who am I kidding?

I am so dead.

All right, ladies, look alive!
Here we go!

Aren'’t we so excited for this?

All right, we are looking
very nice, ladies.

I love the elves'’ energy.

[camera clicking]

All right, and now if
I can get the elves

to get down
on the brick there.

All the elves, and I need you
to be nice and casual, Alisha.

No, more casual.

Well, it'’s hot out here.
Can we please finish up?

Yeah, yeah, actually,
I do think that we got it.

Let me just go inside and check.

I cannot see it
with all the glare out here.

You girls get in the shade.

ALBERT: So, Your Highness,

what has Miss Charles
planned for you today?

I believe there are
some publicity chores

I need to participate in.

Starts in about an hour.

That should make
your father very happy.

Duty calls and all of that.

Indeed, Prince Patrick.

PATRICK: How bad could it be?

One can only guess, sir,
but you will, of course,

be in the presence
of Melanie Charles?

I wouldn'’t have it
any other way.

Well, I'’m off.

Excuse me, sir,
you'’re not leaving.

Don'’t worry.
I'’ll be back in time.

But your obligations.

I said I'’ll be back,
and I will.

Keep up the good fight.

- But Your Highness--
- Cheerio!

[engine starts]

Now, you'’re up third,
so make sure you'’re ready

as soon as Jasmine
makes her final round.

Jill, I need to talk to you.

Oh, okay, girls, take five.

Whoa, you look sharp.

- Does Melanie know?
- Never mind that.

I have a real problem.

I can'’t keep pretending
to be Melanie.

It is not right.

Don'’t be in such a rush.
You'’re doing great.

And you won'’t get this chance
again. It'’ll be fine.

Maybe you'’re right.
I just wish I knew for sure.

You can always tell him, but
I'’d just wait a little longer.

This is your doing.
You caused this,

and this is the best advice
you can give me?

Okay, I will tell him
when the time is right.

Good girl,
but I would be worried about

wearing Melanie'’s dresses
in the photos.

I'’d say out of all the photos
if I were you.

- Yeah, no kidding.
- Right?

Albert.

Oh, Miss Charles.
You look lovely today.

Oh, uh, thank you.
Is the prince with you?

Uh, well, no.

No?

I'’m afraid
he'’s gone off somewhere.

Gone off? Where?

I'’m sorry, I don't know.

The Christmas tree lighting
ceremony is in five minutes.

He said he'’d be back in time.

Has he done this before?

All too frequently.

Oh, fantastic.
Which way did he go?

That way.

Okay.

- Thank you, Scott.
- You'’re welcome, sir.

Prince Patrick.

Ah, good morning, Melanie.

You'’re looking exceptionally
lovely this morning.

Thank you.
Now, where have you been?

The tree lighting ceremony
is in less than five minutes.

Sorry. I just nipped out for
a little Christmas shopping.

Your stories here
are truly amazing.

You left to go
Christmas shopping?

Yes, it'’s for the kids
at The Children'’s Hospital.

I didn'’t know
if I'’d have another chance.

You'’re not upset with me,
are you?

No, I'’m not.

It'’s very impressive.

Your generosity is
refreshing and welcome,

but we do have
a schedule to keep.

And that we shall.

No harm done?

None at all.

REPORTER: Today, Prince Patrick from the Kingdom of Edgemoor

helped spread a little
holiday cheer

as he prepares to host
this year'’s

charity fashion festival.

Prince Patrick?

What is all this?
Where is the ambassador?

Prince came in his place.
Kristin didn'’t tell you?

Why would she not tell me
something this important?

I would have never left town
if I knew the prince was coming.

Well, it gets better.

Are you sitting down?

Are you kidding me?

I'’m sorry, Patrick,
but I must confess

that I am not really
Melanie Charles.

No, that'’s not gonna cut it.

Prince Patrick,
this is gonna sound silly,

but I am not Melanie Charles.

That is so phony-sounding.

Okay, let'’s see, um...

I don'’t know what happened,
but there'’s been a mix-up and...

[Falkor whines]

- Oh, boy, is that ever true.
- [barks]

Hey, you keep your opinions
to yourself.

[phone vibrating]

I need to
straighten this out fast.

How'’s that? Straight?

Very straight, sir.

Evening plans
with Ms. Charles?

Yes, and don'’t badger me.
I'’ve been everywhere

and done everything
that'’s been asked of me.

I'’m entitled to relax
a little bit.

It would appear as though
you and Ms. Charles

have struck up
quite a friendship.

Not quite the report we
received from the ambassador.

According to him, she'’s as
cold as ice and all business,

nothing like our Ms. Charles.

Call it what you will, but...

I just can'’t seem
to take my eyes off her.

She'’s nothing like
the girls back home,

and she really is everything
I'’ve been looking for.

You seem to have come to
this conclusion rather quickly.

Ah, yes, well,
I know how I feel,

but I just wonder
if she feels the same way.

One way to find out:
You can tell her.

Car'’s waiting outside,
Your Highness.

- Mustn'’t keep a lady waiting.
- Good.

Oh, and, um...

don'’t wait up.

'’Course not.

Ah, good evening, Jill.

You look handsome tonight,
Albert.

As do you, my dear.

Are you ready for
your invitation-only tour

of L.A. nightlife?

Indeed, I am.

Come on.

♪ When the snow starts
coming down ♪

- After you, Melanie.
- Thank you.

Lovely.

How about two glasses
of Merlot?

Perfect. Right there?

Looks good.

Good evening. Can I get
two glasses of Merlot?

♪♪ [jukebox]

♪ Whoa, whoa ♪

♪ That old feeling

Now, here we are.

Thank you.

Is this your
favorite restaurant?

I like to come when I can.

It'’s very nice.
It'’s very atmospheric.

I like it. Our company has
an open account here.

Even better.

Do you know
I'’ve been feeling rather guilty,

like I'’ve been taking up
all of your free time.

No, no, don'’t be silly.

It'’s my job to make sure
that I make your stay a success.

And you'’re doing
a marvelous job.

Thank you,
Your, uh, Princeship,

or Your Majesty.

Please, just call me Patrick.

I don'’t know that I should.

Please.

All right. Patrick.

Uh, I'’ve been meaning to tell
you something very important,

and I'’ve been looking
for the right time.

Hold that thought.

I have something important
to tell you as well,

but this is
one of my favorite songs

and I thought maybe
we could dance.

Okay, but, I'’ve got to
tell you something first.

Look, if it'’s anything to do
with your dancing skills,

believe me, I'’m just as liable
to step all over your feet.

Oh.

We all have
our little secrets.

But it'’ll wait five minutes.
Come on.

That'’s a beautiful dress
you'’re wearing.

Thank you.

I chose it
just for this evening.

On you, it'’s spectacular.

Each time I see you,
you are lovelier and lovelier.

Please, you'’re making me blush.

I'’m sorry, I didn't mean to.

It'’s just that I've never met
anyone quite like you before.

So empowered,

so beautiful,

so...

Sorry to interrupt,

just as things are starting
to look so cozy.

Josh, how dare you
follow me here.

Hey, I'’m not cuttin' in.

What'’s going on here?

That'’s what I
would like to know.

You have no right to be here.

What are you--
I was invited.

By who?

Oh, no.

She'’s back from Boston.

JOSH: Just flew in.

What is all this?

Oh, I think we'’re
about to find out.

Nice dress.

Who would'’ve imagined we have
the same taste in designers?

I can explain.

No, you don'’t need
to explain anything to me.

It'’s all pretty obvious.

Would you like to introduce me
to your friend, Melanie?

Melanie?

Oh, I am sorry, Your Highness.

I'’m afraid that you have been
the victim of a little prank.

A prank?

No, it'’s not like that.

I am Melanie Charles.

That'’s what I've been
trying to tell you.

What?

I am so sorry, Melanie, I--

I don'’t know what to say.

Start with saying
why you'’re wearing my dress.

Wait, hold on.
But you'’re Melanie Charles.

Kristin?

Oh! Is that what
she'’s been telling you?

She'’s my assistant.

One I foolishly
left in charge.

That'’s what I've been
trying to tell you.

I can'’t believe it.

I can'’t believe
that you just let me--

You lied to me.

No, I didn'’t lie to you,
not really. It'’s just--

You called me "Melanie"
the other day,

and I didn'’t stop it,
but I--

It was just,
everything was going so fast,

and I was nervous,

and I just wanted you
to like me.

You made me look like
a complete and utter fool.

How many people
are in on this joke?

No one, believe me.

Well, I'’m sure you got quite
a few good laughs out of it.

- No.
- You know, I guess it'’s true

what I heard about
you corporate types,

that you really will just do
anything to get what you want.

That'’s not true.

Look, I didn'’t mean
to harm anyone.

Trust me, I didn'’t.

Well, you did,
and now you'’re fired.

Fired?

I'’m-- I'm sorry.

Ms. Charles, I know that
what Kristin did was wrong,

and I'’ll admit that I'm finding
all of this rather surprising,

but was that
absolutely necessary?

I'’m sorry, Your Highness.

I hold my employees
to the highest standards.

I understand,
but at Christmas?

And her charitable work
has been so moving.

I know it seems harsh,

but she deliberately
deceived me,

and she deceived you.

Now, perhaps you and I could
just sit down for a minute

and get to know each other
a little better,

perhaps over dinner.

I'’m sorry.

I'’m afraid that I have
rather a lot to consider.

I should have known that girl
was far too kind to be you.

I'’m sorry things worked out

I feel like it'’s all my fault.

- Don'’t blame yourself.
- Who else is there to blame?

I must confess,
I suspected the young lady

was not Ms. Charles all along

after reading the ambassador'’s
dossier on her.

And then when I pressed Jill
on the matter, she confirmed it.

[scoffs]
So you knew?

She told me everything.

But as you both seemed to be
getting on so well together,

I made a poor choice
to keep quiet.

Kristin knew that I thought
she was Melanie Charles,

and yet she said nothing.

She just let me
go on thinking it.

She'’s really a very sweet girl,

and from what you say,
it sounds like she was trying

to tell the truth
at the restaurant,

but you didn'’t
give her the chance.

Maybe, but now I'’ll
never know for sure.

There is a way.

Please, spare me.

I think you'’ve done
quite enough damage today.

As you wish.

I liked her, Albie.

You liked her
because you thought

she was someone important.

No, that is not true. I--

I just liked her.

She was a breath of fresh air.

Someone who truly
cares for others,

but maintains a unerring
dedication to duty.

If you say so.

And to what end?

I don'’t know.
Let'’s see what tomorrow brings.

But I'’m really very tired.

Then I bid you
good night, sir.

[sighs]

[door closes]

What a mess.

Want some company?

Sure, come in!

I brought you a present.

A present? For me?

For you.

Thank you!

I think you'’ll really enjoy it.

You look so sad.

Well, how can I be sad
when you look so happy?

How do you do it?

Well, I try to take
a negative thing

and make it into
a positive thing.

And that works?

Only sometimes.

I think I know what you mean.

Where'’s your prince?

Uh, he'’s busy right now.

He told me he was gonna come by.

I don'’t know if that's possible,
but I'’m sure he'll try.

He'’ll come back.
He promised.

Then I'’m certain he will.

He was very nice.
He really liked you.

It'’s his job to be nice.

I saw how he looked at you.

He might even be
in love with you.

Please! Sometimes it'’s best not
to put meaning into a look.

I have to.

No one here wants
to tell me the truth,

so I just see how they look.

I can tell how you feel.

You can?

Well, don'’t tell anybody.

Now, there'’s something
I need to go and do,

but I'’ll be back
as soon as I can.

It'’s okay.
I know you'’re busy.

Not anymore.

I'’ll be back soon.

I'’ll be right here.

Okay.

I really must apologize
for what occurred last evening.

I really should have
handled that privately.

I just feel terrible
for what'’s happened.

You shouldn'’t even think
about it, Your Highness.

It is I that should have
handled Kristin

in a more professional manner.

You did what you
thought was right,

but I really was
very well treated.

She did an excellent job.

Well, she had
a lot of potential,

but she made
some very poor choices.

Perhaps I'’ll get a chance
to see her again

and make amends
before I leave.

Let'’s not worry about her
right now.

Mr. Carson is tending
to his prize roses,

and he'’s very anxious
to meet you.

Mr. Carson.

Ah, Prince Patrick,
great to meet with you at last.

My father sends his regards.

Thank you, Your Highness.
How is the king?

- He'’s well.
- Good.

I'’m sorry I haven't
been around more,

but a worldwide corporation
requires worldwide attention.

Indeed.

I trust you'’ve been
in capable hands.

PATRICK: I have.
Thank you very much.

Well, don'’t thank me.
Carson Designs would be nowhere

without Melanie'’s
strong marketing sense.

She'’s a wonder.

I rely on her
for almost everything.

She does run a very tight ship.

You honor me, Your Highness.
I was just telling Dan here--

If you wouldn'’t mind?

Yes, of course.

Let me know if you
require anything else.

To the point, sir,

there is a young woman
named Kristin

who just lost her job
at Charles P.R.

Melanie'’s assistant.

She'’s lost her position,
you say? What for?

I'’m afraid there was
a sort of a charade going on.

It'’s nothing that you need
to concern yourself with.

It'’s just that...

I was hoping you may be able
to have a word with Melanie.

I feel it would make
a great difference.

A royal request, Prince,

for an unemployed
executive assistant?

She'’s a lot more than that, sir.

Yeah, I can tell that.

Does she know how you feel?

What? Oh, no, no, no,
it'’s nothing like that.

It'’s just that, uh...

- [laughs]
- No.

I, um...

It just seems that she does
very good work and, uh...

Your Highness,
that'’s not exactly

the answer I was expecting.

But let me say this,
without intruding too much:

Business is business,
but love is a magical thing.

And I appreciate
what you'’re trying to do,

but there is a better way
for you to help this young lady.

And what is that?

You'’ll know what it is
when the time is right.

I see.

Well, if you would
just consider it,

I will be most grateful.

Consider it considered.

Looks like we'’re going
very festive with this.

Yeah.

Your Highness, any luck?

No, but I need to do
something to fix this.

I'’m a royal prince,
for goodness sake.

I should be able
to make things right.

I just thought
it would be easier.

I'’m sure you'll
think of something.

Is the car still out front?

- Yes, sir.
- Good.

Where are you going,
Your Highness?

I need some advice.

What?

Hey.

Hey.

You need any help?

No, I think I'’m done
messing up my life.

And my dreams
come down to this little box

filled with paper clips
and pencils.

What are you gonna do?

I don'’t know.

Maybe I'’ll go home
for Christmas.

You know, Ohio'’s looking
pretty good right now,

and there'’s nothing
keeping me here.

I am so sorry
about all of this.

I'’m the one
who should apologize.

You know, don'’t feel bad.

This is on my head.

It'’s just, um...

for a moment there,

I just felt really special,
you know?

And I knew it was wrong,

but I just wanted
to do a good job,

and I wanted Melanie
to be proud of me,

and I wanted Patrick
to like me.

If only I hadn'’t been
so scared

to just be upfront
with the truth,

none of this
would have happened.

Just don'’t be
so hard on yourself.

You were great.

Melanie herself couldn'’t
have done it better.

Thanks, but it was a lie.

And now what do I have
to show for it?

I'’m unemployed at Christmas,

I'’m pretty much broke,

and Patrick hates me.

I know the Prince
is disappointed,

but he doesn'’t hate you.

For what it'’s worth...

I believe he'’s just as
miserable as you are.

I don'’t think that's possible.

He'’s a prince.

He may be a prince,
but he'’s no fool.

Trust me.

The biggest fool is me.

Hello?

Amy?

Can I help you?

Oh, I was hoping to speak
with Amy. Is she here?

She'’s in the rec room,

visiting with some
of the other children.

Ah, may I see her?

- Of course. Follow me.
- Thank you.

Uh...

Uh, wait.

Hello, Amy.

Prince Patrick, you came!

Now, don'’t you get up.
You stay right where you are.

Oh, all right.

I told you I'’d be back.

I knew you would.
You promised.

And a promise is a promise.

Could you give us
a moment, please?

Of course.
Call me if you need anything.

What'’s this?

Just a little Christmas cheer
for you...

and your friends.

- Thank you.
- You'’re welcome.

- Thank you.
- You'’re welcome.

Thank you so much.

Well, go on, open it.

I can'’t.

Why not?

Because there isn'’t
a present for Cathy.

Oh, I'’m so sorry.
I seem to be one present short.

It'’s okay, Cathy.
I want you to have it.

Why did you do that?

I could'’ve easily
gotten another gift.

Cathy doesn'’t get anything.

She doesn'’t talk much,
but I know inside, she'’s lonely.

No one ever visits her.

You'’re a very wise person, Amy,
with a good heart.

I'’ll make it up to you.

Don'’t worry about me, Prince.
I have lots of things already.

Like my new Christmas dog.

Yes, and a new book, I saw.

Was that from Kristin?

She came by today.

She seemed so sad.

I can imagine.

You should find her
and tell her you love her.

[laughing]
Now, what kind of talk is this?

Well, you do love her,
don'’t you?

Well, I, um...

I don'’t know. Um...

Maybe.

Maybe doesn'’t cut it,
Prince Patrick.

If you love someone,

you need to find them
and tell them.

We only have so much time
in this world, you know.

You'’re such a brave girl, Amy,

with wisdom beyond your years.

If only it were that easy.

I'’m afraid it's all
a little bit of a mess. I...

I said some rather
unkind things.

You'’re a prince.

If you love her,
you can fix anything.

How old did you say you were?

Old enough.

No, I just--
I just thought that maybe--

Maybe Kristin would be here?

Well, I don'’t know
what I was thinking.

Good luck, sir.

I'’ve got a few things
to see to.

Now, what you'’re about to see

Sometimes we simply
need to be able

to put a face
to these good deeds,

to those whose hearts
are genuinely uplifted

by the simple act of giving.

What is he doing?

I haven'’t the faintest idea,

and I'’m afraid to find out.

What an unusual young man.

Ladies and gentlemen,
it gives me great pleasure

to introduce you all
to my new friend,

representing
The Children'’s Hospital,

the beautiful and now honorary
Princess Amy of Edgemoor.

[applause]

♪♪

[applause continues]

- Aww!
- She'’s beautiful!

This is where your dollars go.

Your support
for Amy and her friends

means they will get
the medical help

that they need
to grow strong and tall,

and the permanent homes,
which they deserve.

[applause]

That'’s brilliant.

Empathy is always in fashion.

What a beautiful little girl.

Well done, young man.

Alisha, what is wrong?
You'’re on!

I know. I can'’t find
my other shoe.

- Here it is!
- Where did you get this?

- It was--
- Oh, never mind.

- Get away.
- Can I give you a hand?

No, leave me alone.

Would you like to read
the final card?

I'’d love to.

"And now, to conclude our show,
the lovely Alisha,

wearing a winter print design
for Carson Designs by Vousberg."

- Here.
- Thank you.

Ah, it seems we have one more
presentation for you today.

What'’s he talking about now?

I don'’t know,

but nothing would surprise me
at this moment.

Her name is...

Kristin.

Git. Go on.

Isn'’t that your assistant?

Yeah, kind of.

And she looks fabulous.

I know you fired her,
so don'’t pretend otherwise.

I'’m sorry, Dan. I...

I kind of lost my head
when I found out

that the prince
was here himself,

and Kristin hadn'’t told me.

I should'’ve been there
to receive him myself.

I know she probably
didn'’t mean any harm by it.

She was probably
only trying to protect me.

The show came off great.

At least you learned something
positive from all this.

Do you have something
you'’d like to say?

Do you mind?

No.

Come on.

[microphone feedback]

Ladies and gentlemen,
you don'’t know me.

I'’m not one of the models.

What you'’re witnessing
here today

at this wonderful
charity event is...

much more than
just a fashion show.

It'’s a celebration
of the human spirit,

an uplifting hand
to our fellow human beings.

It'’s not about us.

It'’s not about getting ahead.

It'’s not about what we think
that we deserve in this life.

It'’s about us as a community,

united for the good
of all people.

When I look at Amy
and the kids like her

and the joy that they
bring into our lives,

I realize just how important
and valuable

the work done by Prince Patrick
and Dan Carson is.

And that'’s what
it'’s really about.

And that is how we are going
to make a difference.

And for that, I thank you.

PATRICK: Thank you very much.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Kristin!

Hey.

You were great up there.

I mean, really great.

I said what I needed to say.

If they'’re mad,
at least they can'’t fire me.

They'’ll get over it.

I'’m sure they will.

I'’m sorry it worked out
this way.

I thought maybe if
the prince saw you again,

it would make a difference.

That'’s okay.

It really is.

I know who I am now,

and I guess that'’ll
just have to be enough.

Kristin, a moment?

I'’m sorry, Mr. Carson, but if
I could just please leave...

Please don'’t rush off.
We need to talk.

I know what I did was wrong.

I couldn'’t help myself.

Don'’t be silly. I only want
to talk to you about a job.

It just so happens that I could
use someone on my staff

with your kind of courage.

Ah, keep looking, Dan.

Kristin works for me.

I do?

You do, if you would accept

a Junior Vice President
of Strategic Marketing post.

I would.

We'’ll talk about
it tomorrow then.

Well, Dan,
your guests are waiting.

Melanie, you'’re just
too clever for me.

Kristin!

Kristin...

I just wanted to say
that I'’m...

Well... I just wanted
to say that I'’m sorry.

No. I'’m the one
who should be sorry.

No, I should have just
shut up and listened.

Why?

I did everything
that you said I did.

But I never really stopped
to ask myself why you did them.

I didn'’t know then,
but I do know now.

I love you, Kristin,

and I think
that you love me.

Love can make you do
some pretty crazy things.

I'’ve never really said this
too much before...

but I love you.

And if you love me,

then you'’ve got to give me
a chance to prove it to you.

Is that what you really want?

Yes, with all my heart.
Just one more chance.

When you see an opportunity,
grab it.

All right.

Now what?
[laughs]

ALBERT: Now what, indeed.

Amy'’s doctor brought us
some very good news today.

What?

Her troubles are on the run.

Oh!

She'’s going to be just fine.

A Christmas miracle.

It'’s the best present
I could'’ve ever asked for.

I brought you a present too.

Oh? And what is that?

Mistletoe!

How could I refuse?

You can'’t.

[applause continues]

- That'’s wonderful.
- Yes!
