OK, now, just remember,

Pick a spot on the back wall,

Thanks, Mom.

-Bye, Mom.

Ugh. Yeah. They're so rude.

Good. You know, for a second there,
I thought you were going A-Crowd on me.

-[girl laughs] Negative.
-[school bell rings]

-[Lilly] Ready for debate?
-[groans] I'm never ready for debate.

[cheering, chanting]

[boy] So, this is not a debate.
This is a control issue.

Grove controls our minds
with what they teach us,

but you know what?
They're not satisfied with that.

-[boy] Sounds correct.
-[girl] Mm-mmm.

I think Grove should dump the uniforms
and we have casual dress all year round.

[cheering]

[teacher] All right, all right.
OK, girls, settle down.

Settle down, this is a debate.

After it's over,
I want you back in your school uniform.

-Whatever you say.
-Josh, sit down.

-He's the man.
-He's my man.

OK, Josh, later, later. OK.

Down, down, boy, you've made your point.

OK, so now we've all heard from
Josh Bryant for the affirmative.

[ripping]

I love that sound.

-What's my point again?
-You like our uniforms.

They're equalizers.

[teacher] Now we'll hear the rebuttal
from Mia Thermopolis,

who will present the negative argument
against our proposition.

[scattered applause and cheers]

Um...

I think, um...

[girl whispering] What a frizzball.
[giggling] Look at her hair.

[teacher] Shh!

-Um... Uh...
-[boy 1] We're waiting.

-[boy 2] Say something.
-You see, um...

See, casual... Casual...

[man] Mia, finish up with Mrs. Talmond
and then you can take a break.

-Here's a huge tip from Mrs. Hirsch.
-Oh, and I got one from Mrs. Talmond.

-We are doing all right today.
-Mr. Walsh's ropes are twisted.

-[woman] Mr. Walsh, stop twisting.
-Hi!

You'll strangle yourself.

-Hi, Mom.
-You threw up, huh?

[chuckles]

-And you ran away.
-[Mia] I'm trying to forget about it.

Can I have some shoes and chalk, please?

Anyway, I'll go talk
to your debate teacher...

-What's his name? Mr. O'Connell.
-Mr. O'Connell.

-...and straighten it all out.
-Mm-hmm.

Mom, I am never going to be
a good public speaker,

just call him and tell him
I want to be a mime.

-I can do that.
-[man] Here you go.

-Oh. Your grandmother called.
-What?

The live one, who lives in Genovia.
Clarisse.

Oh! Wow.

This is the first time she's ever
contacted us, what's she want?

She's in town, she wants to have tea.

Tea? She came all the way
from Europe to have tea?

[telephone rings]

-Think I want to climb a little bit.
-[man] Rocks Around the Clock.

Isn't this the grandmother
who made you two get a divorce?

[sighs] Well, she didn't approve of me.

But Philippe and I made the decision
to divorce on our own.

Why should I go see
this snobby lady who ignores us?

Mia, she's your father's mother.

Just go see her tomorrow, please?

[Mia] Tension.

She said your father hoped
that you two would meet someday.

[exhales] All right, I'll... I'll go.

[rock music plays]

[laughing, chattering]

[boy] Whoo!

OK. All right.
I win, band practice is over.

I have a music class here. Out.

All right. Let's have the third group try
"Catch a Falling."

Hey, Charles,
do you want to be in the front?

-OK. Thanks.
-No problem.

Michael.

Are you sure you can't help me
with my spotted owl petition today?

I told you. I'm meeting my grandmother
after school.

[clears throat]

[man on speaker] The school tours
are on Saturday, young lady.

I'm here for a meeting
with my grandmother.

-Name?
-Clarisse Renaldi.

Oh. Please come to the front door.

Thank you very much.

Get off the grass!

[man shouts in foreign language]

[woman shouts in foreign language]

Welcome, Miss Thermopolis.
We've been expecting you.

Um, oh, be careful.
Please don't crush my soy nuts.

Your soy nuts are safe.

-OK.
-Right this way.

Please, make yourself comfortable.

[woman] Yes, special food
for their daughter, Marissa.

She's allergic to peanuts.

And we need new pillows
for the Prime Minister's wife.

She's allergic to goose feathers.

Hello, Amelia.

I'm Charlotte,
from the Genovian Attaché Corps.

Hi. It's nice to meet you.

-Um, where am I?
-[Charlotte] The Genovian Consulate.

You've got pears in your flowers.

-Genovian pears. We're famous for them.
-Oh.

Now, if you'll sit down,
she'll be with you in a moment.

No, I don't need a moment. I'm here.

-Amelia, I'm so glad you could come.
-[Mia] Hi.

-You've got a great place.
-Thank you.

Well, let me look at you.

You look so... young.

Thank you.

And you look so...

...clean.

Uh, Charlotte, would you go and check
on tea in the garden?

Please, sit.

Oh. [titters]

[chomping teeth]

So, um...

My mom said you wanted to talk
to me about something, so... shoot.

Oh, before I... shoot, I have something
I want to give you.

-Here.
-Oh, um...

Thank you.

Wow.

It's the Genovian Crest.
It was mine when I was young.

[clattering]

Ah, and that was my great-grandmother's.

[titters]

I'll keep this safe.
I will take good care of it.

[clattering]

Now, what did you want to tell me?

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

-I already have braces.
-No, it's-it's bigger than orthodontia.

The tea is served, ma'am.

[clattering]

Amelia, have you ever heard of
Edward Christof Philippe Gérard Renaldi?

No.

He was the Crown Prince of Genovia.

Mm.

What about him?

Edward Christof Philippe Gérard Renaldi...

-...was your father.
-[scoffs]

Yeah, sure.
My father was the Prince of Genovia.

Uh-huh. You're joking.

Why would I joke about
something like that?

No. No, 'cause if he's
really a prince, then I'm...

Exactly.
You're not just Amelia Thermopolis,

you are Amelia Mignonette
Thermopolis Renaldi,

Princess of Genovia.

Me? A... A princess?

Shut up!

I beg your pardon? Shut up?

Your Majesty, in America
it doesn't always mean "be quiet."

-Here it could mean "wow", "gee whiz"...
-I understand, thank you.

Nevertheless, you are the Princess.

And I am Queen Clarisse Renaldi.

Why on earth would you
pick me to be your princess?

Since your father died, you are
the natural heir to the throne of Genovia.

That's our law.

I'm royal by marriage.
You are royal by blood.

You can rule.

Rule? Oh, no. Oh, no. No, no, no.

Now you have really got the wrong girl.
I never lead anybody.

Not at-- Not at Brownies,
not at Campfire Girls...

Um...

Queen Clarisse, my expectation in life
is to be invisible

and I'm good at it.

Amelia, I had other expectations, also.

In my wildest dreams, I never
expected this to happen,

but you are the legal heir,
the only heir to the Genovian throne

and we will accept the challenge
of helping you

become the princess that you are.

Oh! I can give you books.

You'll study languages,
history, art, political science.

I can teach you to walk, talk,
sit, stand, eat, dress like a princess.

Given time, I think you'll find the palace
in Genovia a very pleasant place to live.

-Live in Genovia?
-It's a wonderful country, Amelia, really.

Whoa, whoa! Ju...
Rewind and freeze. I'm no princess.

I'm still waiting for
normal body parts to arrive.

I refuse to move to, and rule, a country,

and do you want another reason?
I don't want to be a princess!

[stammering] Amelia! Amelia!

Amelia! Come back here!

[Clarisse groans]

Well, that went well, didn't it?

-Perhaps she needs more time.
-Will you help me?

Miss Thermopolis...

I'm the head of your security and you want
me to be a chauffeur and a babysitter?

For the time being, yes.
The child needs protection.

[Mia] For 15 years, you couldn't
find a spare minute

to tell me that my father is a royal?

-I thought I was doing the right thing.
-Oh.

-The right thing for who, Mom?
-All of us.

I mean, if we secretly divorced,
he would be able to find a woman

who'd stay by his side in Genovia
and produce heirs.

And I'd be free to live my life with you.

I mean, please, we met in college.

I was young. I wanted to paint.

Can you see me walking one step
behind someone for the rest of my life?

I mean, with rules and regulations,

and the waving and the bowing
and the scraping, I was scared.

Well, living with a mother who lied to me
for 15 years scares me.

Where are you going?

I'm going to straighten up
the royal bed chamber.

[mother] After the divorce,
we all discussed it.

Your father and your grandmother
both agreed to keep their distance,

so you would have a chance
of a normal childhood.

Free of emotional complications.

We were going to tell you
when you were 18 years old.

But when your father died,
things changed, Mia.

We wanted to protect you.

OK, you know what?

I don't feel protected.

You try living for 15 years
thinking that you're one person

and then in five minutes you find out
that you're a princess. You know what?

Just in case I'm not enough
of a freak already, let's add a tiara.

[sighs] Well...

-...drink your soup.
-I'm not really hungry.

Fine. Good night, sweetheart.

[door closes]

Fat Louie... you are so lucky you
don't know who your parents are.

[meows]

I've never ridden in a limo,
he admitted bitterly to himself

as he crossed to the open window
and looked out at the bay.

The fog looming
like his pathetic life before him.

I can't believe I won an Emmy.

I have this favorite photo of Philippe.

We had so much fun
when we were here in college.

He was--

He was so full of joie de vivre,
always laughing and smiling.

I remember.

Helen, if Amelia refuses
to accept the throne,

then Genovia will cease to exist
as we know it.

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

Here it is.

Mm.

Ohh.

Philippe was ready to be king.

Then the terrible accident.

Even though it didn't work out between us,

-I loved your son very much.
-Thank you.

Well, as always,
this is as good as it's gonna get.

Mm.

I can't wait until she's 18.

[sighs]

Oh, this is a nightmare.
I'm going back to bed.

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

Oh, OK. Um, is there something else
about me and my life

that just maybe I might
want to know about?

Oh, no. Are you two waiting
to take me on a talk show somewhere

to let me know that I have a twin sister
who's a duchess?

You have a cousin who's a contessa.

Fondly known as Bartholomew.
Actually, we call him Pookie.

Yesterday did not go well.
Will you just listen to your grandmother?

Amelia, in a matter of weeks,
we have an annual ball.

I was... I am hoping

that I may present you to the press
and the public on that occasion.

However, you desperately need
some instruction.

I speak for the entire Genovian parliament
and the royal family.

And I speak for this family.

Excuse me. I don't have a family
with either one of you,

because you ignored me for 15 years
and you lied to me.

Families don't do stuff like that
to one another, OK?

-Where is she going?
-The tower.

-Mia, you can't run from everything.
-She has a tower?

[Helen]
Please, just come down from there.

You know, most kids hope for a car
for their 16th birthday, not a country.

Just make yourself comfortable.

-[hissing]
-Oh!

[Helen] This is getting us nowhere.
Talk to me.

I can't talk to you right now,

I'm late for a meeting
with my guidance counselor.

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

[Helen] I have a thought.

Mia promises to attend princess lessons
until your ball.

It's not my ball, it's Genovia's
Annual Independence Day Ball.

I'm sorry.

Mia promises neither to accept nor reject

your offer to be royal
until this grand ball.

And then she makes her decision.

Now can you both live with that?

It seems I have no option.

[sighs]

If I have to.

But I want not one word of this
until that evening, is that understood?

Duh.

[Clarisse] The press
would have a field day.

Well, let's not keep Spain
and Portugal waiting.

I'm gonna be 16 this year,

and my mom traded two paintings
to get me a 1966 Mustang.

-You do know what a Mustang is, right?
-I raise mustangs.

That is not a sensible car
for a princess.

Well, you see, it's not really
a sensible car for anyone. It doesn't run.

Well, I suppose I could donate
something to this vehicle.

-[Mia] Good morning, Mr. Robutusen.
-[Clarisse] Who is this gentleman?

Oh, he's my neighbor,
but you wouldn't want to meet him.

He doesn't have very nice manners.

Good morning.

-There's someone I want you to meet.
-OK. Whoa.

-You have two limousines?
-One is yours.

-Do you raise limousines, too?
-[chuckles] No.

-Amelia, this is Joseph.
-Hi, nice to meet you.

The elegant European woman
didn't stay for tea.

Thanks.

But the promise of tomorrow
hung in the air.

[car door shuts]

Ooh!

-Uh, Princess?
-Hmm?

Princess, may I point out that,
no matter how many times you push it,

-it will go up and down the same way.
-Oh. [chuckles]

Joseph, can we 86 the flags, please?

No. The flags allow me
to park anywhere.

-We keep the flags.
-Sorry, Joseph.

You can call me Joe.

Joey? [chuckles]

[laughs] No. Joe.

[laughs]

Did I miss something?
Are we going to a wedding?

Uh, no, school.
No, this is the, uh, surprise ride.

-[speaking in foreign language]
-This is Joe. Joe, Lilly. Lilly, Joe.

Hi, it's nice to meet you.
You know, you look like Shaft.

Yes. Excuse me.

-You want a ride, right?
-Yeah. Totally.

-I got it.
-Of course.

[both cheer]

-OK
-Oh, my word.

[Joe] Please fasten your seatbelts,
ladies.

[Lilly] Is your mother dating
an undertaker?

Uh... no. This long lost grandmother
showed up and she wants me to use it.

-And?
-I-I don't know.

I guess she's just trying to be nice
to get me to like her.

[Lilly] Oh...

[Mia] Hey, Joe? Can you please park
a block away from school?

I really don't want to cause a riot
with this hearse.

This is a non-riot hearse.

And if it were a hearse,
there would be silence in the backseat.

So you can speak and barf
at the same time?

[Lilly] And I'm on the verge
of becoming a nutcase,

and my parents think I need
an attitude adjustment.

-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
-Sorry. Yeah, so,

my dad wants to take me out to
dinner tonight, just the two of us.

We ran out of things to talk about
when I was eight.

-Well, at least your dad's still alive.
-Hey.

I thought you were getting over that.
It's been, what, two months?

I know, I know,
but after all, he was my dad.

Biologically, yes,
but you never met the man.

Just a nice card and gift
on your birthday for 15 years.

Hey, be fair, OK,
they were beautiful presents.

Remember that Fabergé merry-go-round
he sent me? That was nice.

-And he paid for my school tuition.
-Yeah, I guess so.

You know, Lilly,
I gotta run, OK?

I gotta go see your brother
about my baby.

OK, but let's take the limo tomorrow,
these hills are killing me.

[Mia] You got it.

[rock music playing]

[telephone ringing]

He fixes cars, he plays guitar
and he can sing.

-He is so hot.
-He is wicked sweet.

Talk loud, I got a band rehearsing.

[boy] You've been listening
to the sounds of Flypaper.

We're flying away now.

[man] All right, stop yelling.
They're finished.

Hey. Oh.

It sounded really good.
Ned is really wailing.

-Hello, Mia.
-Hey, Doc.

So what's the diagnosis for my baby? Hmm?

-Four hundred dollars.
-[honks horn]

Yeah, I know. It costs to be cool, huh?

-This is not my day.
-I'll do some labor free.

Thanks, but I'll talk to my grandma
about it. It'll be great.

Anyway, I'll see you guys later, OK?
I gotta be somewhere.

Ooh. "I'll do some labor free."
[chuckles]

You, uh, sweet on her?

She's my sister's best friend.

Yeah. That's the hardest place to be.
Between friend and, uh, friendlier. Huh?

Yeah...

No. Princesses never

Aah!

Charlotte, I think it's time for tea.

[Mia] Tell me, how does my mother,
or really any person for that matter,

go into a parent-teacher conference
and come out with a date?

Mia, Mr. O'Connell is not married,
he's not living with anyone,

plus he's not pierced,
tattooed or hair plugged.

Do you realize how rare a find that is
south of Market Street?

OK, did it ever occur to you that if you
dated one of my teachers,

it would give the other kids license
to mock me for the rest of my life?

Oh, you're right, I didn't and I'm sorry.

[sighs]

It's just that Patrick...
Mr. O'Connell,

he's such a nice man,
he's a real gentleman,

and I haven't met one
of those in a long, long time.

OK, OK. It's-- It's fine.

I Just can't do anything right anymore,

No, I mean...
You're an athletic girl, OK?

I'm a synchronized-swimming,

You know what I'm saying?
You gotta use your hands.

The ball comes over here,
you don't stand there just like this.

You gotta go for it. You gotta think

You gotta stop it,

-Ah.
-Bring it on.

-Hey, Joe.
-Mm-hmm?

I'm gonna turn the backseat
into a dressing room

so I can change into
a proper outfit for Madame, OK?

-Yes, well, don't forget the shoes.
-Ah. Thanks.

Strange town, San Francisco.

When I purchased the pumps,

or if I wanted to wear them.

Oh!

Oh!

I've never put on pantyhose,
but it sounds dangerous.

Grandma? Is it customary in Genovia
to imprison your dinner guests

with, um...
with Hermes scarves?

It's Hermès.
The scarf is merely a training tool.

Eventually you will learn to sit
and eat properly without it.

Um...

Manners matter.

But enough etiquette for the day.

Now, Genovia does a lot of trade
with Spain,

-so we prepare for that.
-Sorry.

The quickest way
to a Spanish heart is dance.

Shall we? Now tell me,
what kind of dancing do you do?

Dancing? Oh, just, uh, normal kind,
you know, like, um...

[humming]

I see.

We have a Genovian alternative.

[instrumental music plays]

Now, the dances here are very sedate.
Right from the hips.

And no bobbing of the head, please.
It's not a doggy on a dashboard.

Straight, straight, straight up.
Let's practice this here.

All right. Now, this dance is between
a waltz and a tango. You see?

-It's a wango?
-No.

All right, here we go.
Spin out.

-Spin out.
-And spin into me.

-Spin in... [grunts]
-[gasps]

-OK.
-No. No, no, no.

[Joe] Try again.
No, one more spin, very quickly.

Pull away.

That's it, good. Good attitude.

Spin in.

-Good.
-I did it?

-Yes.
-Grandma, I spun without hurting anyone.

That's very good news.

Spin, spin, spin. Yes. Done.

Better. It's coming along.

-Now you may go home.
-Thank you.

See you tomorrow.

Thank you, Joseph.

[song begins again]

You've been wearing black too long.

[woman on PA] This is Coach Harbula.

You can sign up now
for the Baker beach party.

-Oh, sorry. Sorry... Sorry.
-Hey, hey, Bobby Bad!

-Mia. Are you ready? Let's go.
-Oh, hey.

Oh, I'm really sorry.
But I can't do it today.

I've got a grandma thing and just--
I'll call you, OK? Bye.

What, has your grandma turned into
the Big Bad Wolf?

Shazaam!

Cute, Jeremiah,
but a way to a girl's heart

is not by treating her
like a vending machine.

Get off the grass!

[man in foreign language]

[woman in foreign language]

[man 2 in foreign language]

-Hi, Adolpho, I'm late.
-She's late.

-You're late.
-I know, I'm really sorry about it.

-And where is Paolo?
-Send in Paolo.

[Clarisse] Ah. Always prompt.

[speaking Italian]

-My assistants, Gretchen and Helga.
-[Clarisse] Good afternoon.

We're so pleased you could make yourself
available to be here.

Your Majesty.

-[kissing]
-[groans]

We won't waste time,
let the work begin.

Ah, of course.
Where is the beautiful girl?

-My granddaughter, Amelia.
-[shrieks]

She is gorgeous.

-Let us take a closer look.
-Paolo,

we have a limited number of days
before the state dinner.

Frizzy, busy, dizzy...
in the best sense.

Oh, I would like it
if your ladies would also sign

-our confidentiality agreement.
-Majesty, they know what is a secret.

[speaking foreign language]

Excuse me, Your Majesty,
the Genovian press secretary

is waiting for your call.

Oh, yes, of course.

Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have
to leave and come back and be surprised.

Uh...

Charlotte, watch him like a hawk.

[Paolo commanding in foreign language]

So we begin, Principessa.

In Paolo's hands, remember,
you will be beautiful.

You have thick hair.
[chuckles]

Like a wolf.

-Ow.
-Is all right. [chuckles]

[grunts]

Do you wear contact lenses?

Well, I have them, but I don't really like
to wear them that much.

Now you do.

-You broke my glasses.
-You broke my brush.

Gretchen! Helga!
[speaks foreign language]

I love your eyebrows.
We'll call them Frida and Kahlo.

If Brooke Shields married Groucho Marx,
their child would have your eyebrows.

You want to know a big secret?

-Tell me.
-The cucumber does nothing. [laughs]

This is something we make up.

Majesty, Paolo is exhausted.

Because, Majesty,
only Paolo can take this and this,

-and give you...
-[both women] A princess.

Better. Much better.

[speaking foreign language]

Why don't we go and have
a wonderful cup of tea?

Si.

[Clarisse] Come, Mia.

[playing harmonica]

-Lilly, the car is here.
-[Lilly] I'm coming.

Thanks for the ride.
Thank you.

Hey.

What?

Michael, don't always think
you can get a ride with us...

Oi. Who destroyed you?

Oh, um... [stammers]
You think it looks that bad?

You look ridiculous, you should sue.

Well, um...

I know that it's-it's a little
straighter and shorter.

-Weirder.
-An attractive weirder.

-[Lilly] No, it's not attractive.
-Seatbelts, please.

[Lilly] What I really can't understand,
you ditched me again yesterday

when I really needed your help
on the Greenpeace petition.

This bag.
You have one of these bags?

You know, we could hock that and feed
a whole Third World country.

-Am I right?
-No.

If there are no more passengers,
I think we should close the door.

I mean, you used to care more about what
was inside your head instead of on it.

Come on, Mia. Fess up.

[engine starts]

I don't know where you are these days,
and now you're an A-Crowd wannabe?

You're morphing into one of them.

And who knows, next week you could be
waving pompoms in my face.

You sold out.

Was my rear view mirror fogging up
or was someone tearing back there?

-I'm fine.
-Very well.

Then I'll go meet your grandmother.

But you should know that no one can make
you feel inferior without your consent.

Eleanor Roosevelt said that.

Yes. Another special lady,
like yourself.

-I'll be back at 3 o'clock.
-Thank you.

She has a hat.

Do you really think wearing that hat

is gonna keep people from seeing
your new Lana-do?

Just because the student population
might be morally bankrupt

-but it doesn't mean they're blind.
-Lily! Just stop it, OK?

Look, just because your hair sucks,
get off mine.

Ouch, thank you.

Michael, Can you please pretend
you have a life for just one moment?

Hey. Relax. Breathe.

[makes breathing sounds]

[plays harmonica]

-What did you just say to me?
-You heard me.

I am so sick of you
ragging on me all the time

and always telling me what to do.

You know, I get enough of that
from my mother and now my grandmother.

And I don't need it from you.

I'm not an idiot.

So I know that something's going on
that you're not telling me.

Friends tell. So, you know what?
Here is your friendship charm.

I'm taking it off
and it's going in the dirt.

Don't do that. OK? Just...
[grunts]

-All right, just... Wait.
-Why?

I will tell you the truth, but you're
gonna think it's really stupid

and you're gonna freak.

Try me.

[engine buzzing]

Shut up!

Shut up! Shut up!

-Is that all you can say?
-I'm sorry I was harsh.

And I-- I don't know
what else there is to say.

Will you come on my cable show?

No. I can't, this is a royal secret. OK?
You can't tell anyone, not even Michael.

Especially not Michael,

-but you... are sworn to secrecy.
-Oh, of course.

Come on, secret handshake.

[both spit]

[Mia] You know, we might have to think
of a new secret handshake.

Are you really sure
you can run a country?

I mean, you could barely
keep your goldfish

alive for more than a couple of days.

You know, Lilly,
I'm not really sure of anything right now.

Listen, there are pros and cons
to being a princess.

Shh! Don't say that word,

-people can hear.
-OK. OK.

Class has begun.

Class has begun
and I have a little surprise for you.

Pop quiz, French Revolution.

Oh, Mr. O'Connell.

Um, there's a school rule that says
nobody's allowed to wear hats in class.

And I don't think anybody should be
an exception to that rule, do you?

[O'Connell] No, Lana.

Mia, I'm sorry,
but hats are against the dress code.

Mia?

-[girl] What?
-[students murmuring]

Mama Mia!

-Look who's trying to fit in now.
-It's a wig, right?

I think it looks really sweet, Mia.

[girl] Looks like
she got a head transplant.

Well, I think it rocks,
and you know what?

Voltaire, hair.

I would personally
like to learn about Voltaire.

OK, Lilly. OK.

OK, everybody settle down now.
Quiz time, OK?

[Clarisse] The roses are lovely,
but now we need fountains,

lights in the trees.

The Japanese Embassy has a waterfall,
for heavens sake,

why can't we have fountains?

Well, we have a fountain up there, ma'am.

Yes, well,
I would like at least two in here.

-Charlotte, just make me an Eden.
-Yes, ma'am.

Mmm.

-Amelia, let's continue.
-Hmm?

[Clarisse] In your spare time,
I would like you to read these.

"What's in a name?

That which we call a rose by
any other word would smell as sweet."

And so, you wave to them
and acknowledge them gracefully.

-Hello.
-No, no.

Not quite so big, because of course
it's very, very exhausting after a while.

Very funny, dear. Try it properly.

-Waving, even more gently.
-Hello.

You sort of say,
thank you for being here today.

-Thank you. Thank you.
-Thank you for being here.

I'm sorry, ma'am. I must pick up
the Prime Minister. Excuse me.

-Oh.
-[Mia] Oh, well.

[both] Thank you for being here today.

[Mia] So, this is considered art.

My parents did this in the '60s.
[chuckles]

Yes!
They had an exhibition at Woodstock.

And I guess you're trying
to bring it back?

[Helen] Well, you know,
this beats homework.

[laughs]

Yeah, some moms help their kids
with homework, you do this.

[Helen] Yeah!

[Mia] Oh, nice shot.

-[Helen] Oh. yes, I like it.
-[Mia laughing]

[Helen] Bull's-eye.

[both shouting]

[sighs] This is more fun
than princess lessons.

What're you doing this Saturday night?

Oh, are you guys playing?

Rehearsing some new things.
We got two new songs.

Oh yeah?

Plus, surprise,
we got the new parts for your 'Stang.

Oh, yay! [giggles]

-We could put it together, together.
-OK, well, uh,

-is this like a date?
-No.

[chuckles]

-Music, cars...
-Mm-hmm. Well, would it include pizza?

Of course, pizza's a given.

-[Mia] With MM's?
-Wait up! Wait up for me.

Not you, I don't even know you.

-Well, then I am in.
-[Lilly] Hi!

-Great.
-Whoo-hoo?

-Saturday, it's on.
-Yeah, great. Hi.

-Hey, Lill. What's up?
-[men shout indistinctly]

-What's happening over there?
-I don't know.

[chattering]

-[Mia] What's going on?
-Maybe it's a protest.

Maybe.

Um, excuse me. Hi.
Uh, who are you all waiting for?

There she is right there.
That's Mia Thermopolis.

-We're waiting for you.
-Right here, Princess. Talk to me.

-Lilly? Lilly, did you tell?
-I didn't say anything.

-[clamoring]
-Princess Mia,

who is your favorite actor?

-Why are they calling her princess?
-Mia!

-What do you do about pimples?
-Come on, let's just go please.

[all clamoring]

Come on, Mia.
Let's get inside.

-[girls] Ohh.
-Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

-Excuse me, sir.
-Hi.

-The phone's ringing off the hook.
-What?

Oh.

[Patrick] Mia, your mother's on her way.

-[telephone rings]
-Gupta.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

The Queen is coming.
To Grove High School.

[woman] Grove high school. Hold please.

[woman] A limo with flags.

[man] The Genovian limousine
has arrived.

The Queen is getting out.

Your Majesty, why all the secrets?

All we keep hearing
is "no comment, no comment."

Do you have a comment?

[overlapping chatter]

-Your Majesty.
-Will you be visiting the White House?

-Your Highness.
-Are you taking the Princess home?

[Mia] Mom, I don't know who told on me.

[Helen] We'll get to the bottom of this.

Here's your tea, Your Majesty.
I'm sorry we don't have finer china.

-Oh, that's perfectly all right.
-Here.

Joseph.

[door closes]

-[Joe] Speak.
-Paolo?

Majesty. It was I who told the press
about you, Principessa.

I outed you, so to speak.
I don't mean to imply...

-Grazie.
-Prego.

But not for money, Principessa.
Paolo hates money, he spits on money.

There was no money.
Well, there was some money.

After all, a man like me, each ring is...

The point is it was pride and ego
that drove me to know

that royalty would see one day
the beauty was mine,

the hair was mine.

That I, Paolo Puttanesca,
was responsible for...

-Grazie.
-Prego.

[both speaking foreign language]

By the way, your hair, magnificent.
Next time we go little lighter, huh?

Your Highness,
would you like to say anything?

[Gupta] Isn't that just awful?

Doesn't anyone
respect royalty anymore?

What is it like in Genovia,
Your Majesty?

Do people just fawn over you?

I wonder, would you give us
a moment alone?

[Gupta] I'm the vice principal.

Joseph, would you take this fine educator,

and show her your security plans
for Amelia's safety?

What?

-Ah, yes, of course, of course.
-Your Majesty. Thank you.

-Your security system is a bit lax.
-Merci. Oh, is it?

[Helen] A week ago,
Mia was a normal, little kid.

She has never been normal,
she was born royal.

[door closes]

And we cope with the press
every single day, and we will do it again.

You don't have to do this.

You can get out of
this whole thing right now.

Your mother is right, Amelia.
We had a bargain.

All right. I will think about it
and let you know soon.

[Clarisse] Good. A diplomatic answer.

Polite but vague.

Mia Thermopolis is the daughter of local
eclectic artist, Helen Thermopolis.

They currently live in a refurbished
firehouse south of Market Street.

Mia is also the only grandchild
of Queen Clarisse Renaldi.

Whose husband, King Rupert,
passed away last year.

This is Nelson Davenport, KRLH.

[school bell rings]

[woman over PA] Will the Feng Shui Club

please stop rearranging the tables
on the lawn.

Hello, Princess!
You're the most popular girl in school,

everybody wants to take your picture,
everybody wants to be your best friend.

-Hi, Lilly.
-Hi. OK. So you know what?

I've made a list of all the reasons
for you not to be a princess.

Number one, no privacy.

Number two, you always
have to look just right.

-Number three...
-Whoo!

[Mia laughing heartily]

Are you OK?

-Number three? What was number three?
-OK, number three:

You can't go nutso.
You can't be all like blah during the day.

Lilly, Lilly, um,

I really don't want to talk
about this at the moment, OK?.

-OK?
-OK.

Well, just one last question.
Now that you're "out,"

would you come on my cable show
on Saturday night?

-Yeah, sure.
-I love you. OK.

I'm going to buy you another charm
for your charm bracelet. OK? OK.

See you Saturday night.

Joe!

Yes, Miss Mia.

I don't want to run my own country.
I just want to pass tenth grade.

So... can't I just tell everyone
that I simply quit?

No one can quit being who they really are,
not even a princess.

Now, you can refuse the job,
but you are a princess by birth.

[stammers]
How can I tell if I can even do the job?

By simply, simply trying.

Like the fancy dinner coming up.
She thinks you're ready.

Really?

Shall we practice entering
like a princess?

OK.

Entering.

At the Grand Ball,
you enter with the Queen,

but at the State Dinner,
you enter unaccompanied.

Shoulders back...

...smile.
They're all happy to see you.

-[man] Ah, there she is.
-[woman] How is she?

You are much prettier.

Well done, the worst is over.

Our diligent Prime Minister,
Sebastian Motaz.

-Hello.
-And his lovely wife, Sheila.

-Hi, nice to meet you.
-Hello, dear.

And their charming daughter, Marissa.

Oh, Lord Fricker,
let me take your brandy glass.

You won't need it in there.

And easy on the schnapps,
remember the Winter Dinner.

I'm not allowed to go to the party.

[Sebastian laughs]

Dinner is served.

[snoring]

Her Majesty, Queen Clarisse.

Someday we will own Genovia again
and you will be Queen.

And your face
will be on a postage stamp.

-How are the children, Robby?
-Would you like to see them, ma'am?

There's Ryan and there's Bridget.

[Clarisse] Ohh. They're beautiful.

Would you like to see?

So, Mr. Prime Minister, how would you say
the pear market is doing in Genovia?

The Genovian pear market is blossoming,
if you'll pardon the pun.

[woman] I hear they're serving
filet on the bone.

And that's their princess. [scoffs]

-They grow up so fast, don't they?
-Hi.

-You wanted to see me?
-Is everything all right?

-Um, yes, yes.
-What was happening with the ice bucket?

Oh, um... [stammers]

-I just had a little clumsy moment.
-OK.

The food's delicious, by the way.

[Sheila] Oh, it was for a feminist group
in Scotland called Tarts for Tartan.

-They were a wild bunch.
-Very exciting.

Thank you.

[indistinct chatter]

Between the courses
to cleanse the palate.

-Mm.
-Yeah?

[whimpering]

[muffled] I'm fine. It's cold!

-She didn't realize it was frozen.
-What should we do?

We should take that much, too.
Just do the same thing.

-[muffled] No! No!
-[both moaning]

[all moaning]

They are acting like monkeys.

[moaning continues]

[chocking]

[Mia and Sheila] Oh, oh!

[Sebastian gasps]

Have you ever experienced
that instant headache

when you eat ice too quickly?

No.

Wash your hands.

[clears throat]

Excuse me.

-Uh, I'm really sorry. Um...
-It happens all the time.

I would like to propose a toast,

to the Baroness and Baron von Troken.

May you always be Baron.

Ah, the famous Genovian
pear and cheese dessert.

What else?

[indistinct chatter]

Ooh.

[woman] You are nothing
but an overdressed, drunken...

I'm outta here.

-[shouts]
-[woman gasps]

[woman] Oh, I am sopping.

Was that my fault?

[laughing]

[all laughing]

Shall we adjourn
to the Grand Ball for coffee?

Sorry I let you down, Dad.

Good night, Louie.

[music box chiming]

[Clarisse] This place was such a mess
when I first arrived.

I've been spending every
spare moment in it I can.

Pick up one of these.
Make yourself useful. Spray everything.

-You're not mad at me for what happened?
-Actually, I found it rather funny.

Reminds me of my first
royal dinner party.

I accidentally knocked over
a suit of armor

and the spear went right through
the suckling pig. [chuckles]

Amelia, why don't we cancel lessons
for today and just have some fun.

Fun? I mean, you're not like too busy
for something like that?

Your Majesty,
Lady Jerome has just arrived,

and I have the French Consulate's
assistant on hold.

He wants to confirm tonight's dinner.

Send my apologies.
Cancel everything for today.

I'm being shown San Francisco
by a true San Franciscan.

Tell Joseph I'll need the car.

-Yes, ma'am.
-Oh, wait, um...

...I want to show you my baby.

[Lil' J featuring Nobody's Angel
and Tammie Phoenix:

"Ain't Nuthin' But A She Thing" playing]

♪ Don't consider me a minority ♪

♪ Ladies help me out if you agree ♪

[Clarisse] I haven't sat in the front seat
of a car in the longest time.

[Mia] By the way, thanks for
the money for my car, Grandma.

[Clarisse] So where are you taking me?

-[Mia] Well, uh, do you have any change?
-No.

It's not appropriate
for royalty to jingle.

[Mia] OK, I'll get the change.

Oh! This one's my favorite.

What you do is, you put a quarter in
and then you grab his hand.

-I touch that?
-Yeah, you touch that.

-And then you, uh, press the button.
-Yeah.

And, um...

-...and then you just go.
-All right.

Looks like Rupert's cousin
from Liechtenstein.

-Now, how do I know when it's ready?
-Oh, it'll just go.

-It will?
-There you go. It's going. It's going!

-Go, go, go, go!
-Ow!

[Clarisse] You enjoy this humiliation?

[Mia] Well, it's hard the first time,
but you can do it again.

-Hold this.
-Uh, oh, thank you.

[Mia] Come on, you can do it, Grandma.

I'm ready for you this time.

Ready? Go. It's going, it's going.
Go, go, go.

Go, you're doing good.

Oh, yes! You got it. Gimme five.

-Five? Oh.
-Five.

[bell rings]

-[Clarisse] Oh.
-[Mia laughs]

Ohh... I want one of these.

Just not this one.

So... Did my father always
want to be a prince?

Oh, yes.

Except once about 15 years ago.

He seriously considered
renouncing his title.

Because he met a lovely artist
who showed him wonderful things

about how life could be,
how he could be.

But?

But he had a decision to make.
Nobody could make it for him.

Not I, though many people thought I did,
or anybody else.

Philippe knew that my first born,
his brother Pierre, wanted to abdicate

which he did, eventually,
to join the church.

Your father realized that the love
he could have for one person,

or even two,

could not make him forget the love
he felt for his country and its people.

It was the hardest thing
he ever had to do.

Oh. Oh.

-Do you want a bite of this?
-Why not?

Well, here goes.

-Why, it's delicious.
-Really?

-Mm-hmm.
-Oh, OK, well, then, um,

let's get another one.

I know it's the fastest way back
to the consulate, but I hate this hill.

I do believe I'm beginning
to feel that corn dog.

-[Mia whimpering]
-[brakes screech]

Uh, maybe you could
just sneak gently through.

-OK, OK, I'll try.
-Good.

-Right, now blaze on up.
-I got it.

-Yes, you've got it.
-I-I got it.

You've got it.

-[Mia] Oh, I haven't got it.
-[Clarisse] Uh-oh.

-Mia... Mia, brake! Brake!
-[Mia screams]

-Look out!
-Oh!

Down here!

[all screaming]

911, I need to report an accident.

[man] Didn't you hear the bell?

[bell ringing]

-They put me on hold.
-Oh, for the love of God.

[man] Put down
destruction of public property.

I will, I will, and last, but not least,
driving without a license.

Accompanied by an adult
whose license expired 45 years ago.

I've been trying to tell you, officer.
Licenses don't expire in Genovia.

Not for the Queen.
Don't I have diplomatic immunity?

You do, but her
we have to take downtown.

What?

-I'm sorry, miss.
-It's all right, officer, I-I understand.

I, uh...

-I understand perfectly.
-You do?

Mia, no town, no city, no country
can function peacefully

if its officers
and its transportation engineers

don't follow the letter of the law.

Why! I would be proud to have

two such fine, honorable gentlemen
serving in Genovia.

-Aw shucks, ma'am. No.
-Ma'am, we're-we're not all that.

Oh, but you most certainly are.

As a matter of fact,

I would like to bestow upon you
the honor of the, um...

Genovian Order of the, uh...

...Genovian Order of the Rose.

-Oh. Oh! Ooh!
-[all] Ooh!

-Oh...
-Won't you please kneel?

Um, does anybody have a saber?

-Oh, I've got an umbrella.
-Uh...

-I have an emergency brake.
-This will do fine, thank you.

[clears throat]

With the power vested in me
by the royal crown of Genovia,

-I dub thee...
-Artie Washington of San Francisco, ma'am.

Arthur Washington,
and I dub thee...

Bruce Macintosh of San Leandro.

Bruce Macintosh,
masters of the Order of the Rose.

And all of you bear witness to this
auspicious moment in history.

-Please rise.
-Wait'll I go home and tell Bernice.

[applause]

Now, Mia, I-I know you don't want to go
all the way downtown, but...

Uh, that really won't be necessary.
No one got hurt, did they?

-We're insured.
-OK. Chivalry ain't dead, you know, so...

-Noble Arthur, how very kind.
-[Arthur] Do you need a lift home?

Oh! That would be very helpful.
Thank you. Come along, Mia.

-Good-bye, trolley people.
-Please take the car to Doctor Motors.

[overlapping goodbyes]

Goodbye.

You were awesome.
You are the coolest queen ever.

[scoffs] All in a day's work.

Wave good-bye, that's a queen.

-Oh, uh, would you like to slide in first?
-I never slide.

-Good-bye. Thank you.
-[woman] Good-bye!

-[trolley bell dings]
-[man] Hey, Bruce,

how 'bout getting on your royal carriage
and getting us out of here?

[man] Here she is. This is the possible
new Princess of Genovia right here.

That's right, Genovia.

Anyone know where Genovia is?
Anyone?

[woman] It's a country
between France and Spain.

That was a question on Jeopardy.

[man] This is the girl
that won the genetic lottery.

[man] Look, here's the princess.

[woman] OK, back up, let's go,
the Princess is late for school.

-Could you sign my backpack?
-Hi, Princess.

-Can I have your autograph, please?
-HI, what's your name?

-Lilly.
-Lilly? That's my best friend's name.

Would you consider you
and the princess best friends?

Um, I would definitely say that.
I mean, we do everything together.

We shop together,
we get our hair done together,

we even finish each other's sentences.

It's very cool.

-[Mia] And what's your name?
-Charlotte.

Charlotte?

-You two must be twins, huh?
-Yes.

You know, I don't have any sisters,
but I do have a cat, Fat Louie.

[Charlotte] That's a funny name.

[nervous laugh] OK.

Hi.

So, um, I hope what Lana said on TV
didn't freak you out too much.

-No.
-OK, good.

Because I broke up with her
because of it.

And I hate phony publicity seekers.

Anyway...
Saturday night's the big beach party.

Uh-huh.

Well, I think it'd be cool
if we went together.

See ya on the waves.

-OK.
-OK.

Bye. [titters]

[woman on PA] Attention.

Remember to watch Grove High School's
TV cable show Saturday night,

-with our host, Lilly Moscovitz.
-Yes!

-[Mia] Michael.
-Princess.

You will never guess what
Josh Bryant just asked me.

Can I borrow a comb?

No.

He asked me to go to
the Baker beach party with him.

That's this Saturday, right?

Well, yeah, so I was thinking, um,
I could come by the garage next week

and listen to your band play then.

-All right?
-Oh, yeah. That's... yeah.

-You OK?
-Yeah.

I'm fine.

All right. Well, I have to go,
but thank you so much.

-Bye.
-Bye.

I'm gonna take the school bus
with the other kids.

-OK, I look like an asparagus.
-But a very, very cute asparagus.

No, it's OK. Don't worry,
I'm just gonna wear my blue suit.

Are you nervous about the beach party?

No, actually I'm kind of excited.
I think I might get my first real kiss.

Ohh. Who from?

Josh Bryant.

That Backstreet Boy clone
you've had a crush on forever?

OK. He is not a Backstreet Boy clone,
he's a sailor.

I thought he was never nice to you.

Oh, well...

I don't know, he is now.

I just kinda hope that if he kisses me,
um... my foot pops.

-Pops?
-Yeah.

You know, in old films, whenever a girl
gets seriously kissed,

her foot would just kind of pop.

[laughing]
Pop!

OK, I'm gonna go change now.

I hope you get your first real
foot-popping kiss.

[Lilly] It's Saturday night,

and welcome to my cable show,
Shut Up and Listen.

And later on in my show I will be joined
by our very own Princess Mia,

to discuss her positive opinion

of the Save the Sea Otter Movement.

Until she arrives,
I've asked Grove's magic master,

Jeremiah Hart, to entertain us
with some sleight of hand.

Hello, folks.

Hey, Princess, give us a smile.

How did they find me here?

-What?
-How did they find me here?

[Mark] Hey, wave, everybody, you're on TV.

Wait, Princess.
Don't be shy. Come back.

[Mark] Hey, chopper boy,
look over here. Royal DJ's.

[groaning]

-I am so sorry about all of this.
-No, it's fine.

It's fine.
They can't get us in here.

No, we were having such a good time
and then they came and ruined it.

I know. I know. I mean...

Look, they can't see us,
we can't see them.

We're all alone in this little shack.

Actually, you know what?
It's kinda cozy in here.

And there's no one I'd rather
be here with than you, Mia.

-Really?
-Yeah.

-Josh.
-Mm-hmm.

-This isn't romantic. Um, it just...
-You're right.

No, it's my foot, it's caught
in a volleyball net and I...

Yeah, here.

Oh!

[Lana] Hey!
My dad thinks I'm a princess.

[girl] I'm a friend of Mia's.

I'll tell you what, while we're waiting,
how about a foot massage?

That would be so wonderful, thank you.

No, actually, I mean you give me one.

Oh, yeah... [chuckling]

And, indeed, it is the queen of hearts.

Thank you, Jeremiah,

for your potpourri of prestidigitations
for the past hour.

Obviously, Princess Mia has a problem
appearing here tonight.

And I'm sure she has a good excuse.

I'm Lilly Moscovitz
for Shut Up and Listen.

Thank you and good night.

-Mia. The coast is clear.
-Mm? Really?

-They're gone, yeah.
-Oh, good.

So what do you say we go find
a more romantic spot?

OK.

[man whispering] Quiet, quiet.

[all clamoring]

No, stay.

-Give her a smooch.
-Give her a big, sloppy wet one.

Oh!

Hit him again! Hit him again!

Go away. No, get off.
Go away and leave me alone.

The Princess has left the building.

[all clamoring]

-What's your name?
-Where do you go to school?

-Josh Bryant.
-[woman] Josh.

[man] One picture, right here.

I go to Grove High School.

-What, are we friends with Mia now?
-Yes, we hate Josh.

Sorry, it's hard to keep up
with who we're not talking to.

-Wait, here she comes.
-Oh. Mia, Mia...

I'm really sorry, I can't talk.
I have to go get my clothes.

Well, here, we've got your clothes.
You'll be a lot warmer.

-You guys want to help me?
-Yeah, you know, Josh is such an idiot.

We're gonna make sure
no one bothers you.

Thank you, um, uh,
that's really nice of you.

That's so great of you.
Thank you so much.

-Everything's fine.
-[Mia] Is anybody coming?

-No.
-No. No.

[Mia] Guys, I really appreciate this.
Thank you.

OK, OK.
[whispering]

She's got her bathing suit off.

OK, now.

-[man] Princess!
-[screams]

That was the scream of Princess Mia.

-Go away. All of you, please!
-[woman blows whistle]

Come here, Mia. Come on.

Piranhas, all of you. Back off!

[all clamoring]

My mom always told me I couldn't cry
and told me to be a big girl.

You've been hurt, so you just cry, OK?

[sobbing]

It was really bad.

My foot didn't even pop.

[woman] It was just last night

that San Francisco's own little princess
partied at the beach.

But what started out as innocent fun,

soon turned into
allegedly too much fun.

-This is Suki Sanchez for KPFW.
-[Clarisse sighs]

-Please say something.
-[Clarisse] Well, there's not much to say.

A picture's worth a thousand words.

And you have two pictures.

I really embarrassed the family,
didn't I?

Not to put too fine a point on it,
yes, you did.

I think you're making a wise decision
to abstain from the job.

I suppose I won't come
to the ball, then.

Of course you should come.
You're still family.

Just because you don't want to be
our princess,

doesn't mean we're sending you into exile.

Your mother's planning to come.
All your guests are invited.

Except for your beach friends.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm meeting with the press in an hour
to do some damage control.

You can come in now.

If I may say so,
that did not go very well.

Is this the way a princess should act?

My information tells me
that boy was using her.

The kiss was merely a device so that
he could get his 15 minutes of fame.

And her friends didn't help, either.
Anna, Falana, Banana, Bandana, Montana--

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Why didn't she have enough
common sense to deal with this?

She's only 15.
But today she acted beyond her years.

She showed great respect
and gracefully accepted your criticism.

You're saying that as a queen,
I was too harsh on her.

I was critical of the person who could
become the next ruler of my country.

No, I'm saying as a grandmother,

you might have been too harsh
on your granddaughter.

[sighs]

-Do you think she can do it?
-Oh, I have no doubts, ma'am.

I thought so, too.

Lilly, can I just talk to you
for a minute?

-Is that cool?
-Sure, let's talk.

But about what? Hmm?
How you broke my brother's heart?

Or how you stuck me with Jeremiah

during my cable show, doing pick a card,
pick a card, pick a card?

-[clucking]
-I'm sorry. OK?

I forgot to call you
and tell you that I couldn't make it.

So, I was stuck with the Happy Houdini

while you're making out
with the yachting yahoo.

Those are really good alliterations.

You know, I don't want
to talk about alliterations.

Lilly, you know what? I came up here
to tell you that I'm sorry.

OK. I'm sorry I missed your cable show
and I'm just really sorry.

You know, I can't believe you hung me up,
after all I did for you.

You know, I kept your royal secret.

And do you know how hard it is
to have a cable show and keep a secret?

You didn't keep it a secret from me

how jerky you thought
my being a princess was.

Well, congratulations, you got your wish.
I'm not gonna be a princess.

-You're not?
-No.

But I want you to be.

What?

[sighs]

I didn't mean it, just
the green monster of jealousy came out

because you were Miss Popular
and I thought I was losing my best friend,

so I got angry and upset and hurt.

And...

I told you,
I need an attitude adjustment.

-[sighs]
-But the truth is,

you being a princess
is kind of a miracle.

Whoa. No!

What miracle? It's a nightmare.

No. Think about it.

I just found out that my cable show
only reaches 12 people.

Wanting to rock the world but having
zip power like me, now that's a nightmare.

But you, wow.

I mean...

OK, what is so wow?

Wow is having the power
to affect change.

Make people listen.
How many teenagers have that power?

-What more of a miracle do you want?
-Well...

We'll just have to
find a different miracle,

not more, just different.

Listen, tomorrow night is
the Genovian Independence Day Ball.

And to make up for my missing
your cable show, I'm inviting you.

I hope you'll forgive me.

And I hope you come.

But what will I wear?

[making happy sounds] Yay!

I don't know,
but you know, it doesn't really matter.

I'm just gonna be happy
that you're going to come.

Thanks.

-And you can be a princess.
-No, I can't.

-[Lilly] Yes, you can. Yes, you can.
-No, I can't. No, I can't.

Yes, Mom. I'll go

it's not even a big game,

Because, um, I, uh, called.

-I brought your car.
-Oh, thank you.

Doc said that he fixed what he could
and if you have any problems

to give him a call.

Oh, OK. Um...

Do you want the check now?
'Cause, I have the last payment. And...

Yeah. Thank you.

Are you hungry or thirsty?

-No.
-Oh. Here it is.

Um, look...

Thank you so much for doing this for me.
It's really, really great of you.

I didn't do it for you.
Doc lets my band practice.

-Right. Right, of course.
-And I help with the cars.

-Oh. Here.
-Oh, thanks.

I know you're still mad at me
for blowing you off,

and I'm really sorry I did. Um...

But I am going to try
to make it up to you.

-How?
-Well, um...

I'm still going to
the Genovian Independence Day Ball

and I'm inviting you.

It could be fun.

I'm wearing this great dress
that I can't breathe in.

-And Lilly's got a date.
-Josh looks better in a tux.

Oh, um...

But see, it's...

I really want you
to be the one I share it with.

You don't have to wear a tux.

You can wear sweatpants
for all I care, you know.

[both] Oh, Miah and Mia.

Oh, but, um, listen, Jeremiah,

the sweater you're wearing,
was it designed for you,

or did the knitting machine just blow up?

[snickering] Sunglasses, girls.
Oh, it's Jeremiah hair glare.

-Is one of your magic tricks your hair?

-Huh?

it's so clean cut.

-I just, I bet it goes with anything.
-Of course it does...

But you?

what she did to me?

Oh, no, honey, I'm sorry.

[all] Lana got coned!

It's a present for your 16th birthday,
from your father.

It was found among his possessions.

-My birthday's not for two weeks.
-I know.

But I wanted you
to have it before we leave.

I return to Genovia
the day after tomorrow.

Thank you.

It's locked.

If you open the locket I gave you,
it becomes the key.

Thank you for bringing it down here.

I also came to apologize

for the way I spoke to you
about the beach incident.

It was judgmental of me.
I didn't pause to verify the facts.

That's all right, Grandma.

I've been thinking about it
a great deal.

And the truth is, I think you'd make
a very fine princess.

You know, people think princesses
are supposed to wear tiaras,

marry the prince, always look pretty
and live happily ever after.

But it's so much more than that.
It's a real job.

You are an extraordinary person,
Grandma.

But I don't think
I'm meant to do this.

I would be so afraid that I would
disappoint the people of Genovia,

and I couldn't bear
to disappoint you again.

Well, as I said, I have faith in you.

-I'm a writer.
-Ah.

-I write soaps, soap opera.
-Mm-hmm.

-Did you ever see Middle House Road?
-No, no.

It's a big hit. I wrote a character
just like you once, he was a spy.

-I'm not a spy.
-That's what the character said.

-[Mia] I'll see you tonight, then.
-[Clarisse] Mm-hmm.

Haaaa...

-Uh, I do have one favor to ask.
-Mm-hmm.

I need you to formally renounce
your title for the press.

At the ball, you know.

-Make a speech.
-Mm-hmm.

Oh, um...

Well, do you think that, maybe,
considering my history with the press,

-it would be better if you did it?
-Amelia,

you wouldn't stop driving your Mustang

just because a couple of insects
hit the windshield, would you?

Besides, look how far you've come.
And I'll be right there with you.

-I'll have Joseph pick you up at...
-Uh, no. Um...

I promised I'd let my mom drive me.

You know, she wants to drive me
to my first ball or something.

-All right. I'll see you there, then.
-Mm-hmm.

Uh, Grandma?

I am sorry.

Oh, my dear.

You are first and foremost,
my granddaughter.

Mia was waiting for you.

She's going to run.

[Mia] Come on, Fat Louie, time to pack.
Let's get your things.

[soft meow]

Louie?

What have you got there?
Come on, Louie. We're going on a trip.

We're going to Colorado
where we can climb some real rocks.

We are so out of here, Louie.

[Mia's voice] My dearest daughter,

today is your 16th birthday,
congratulations.

I present you with this diary to fill
the pages with your special thoughts.

Special thoughts of your wonderful life.

[father's voice] It is a custom in my
family to pass on a piece of wisdom

when one reaches this age.

I pass it on to you, as my father
passed it on to me.

Amelia, courage is not the absence
of fear, but rather the judgment

that something else
is more important than fear.

The brave may not live forever,
but the cautious do not live at all.

From now on,
you'll be traveling the road

between who you think you are
and who you can be.

The key is to allow yourself
to make the journey.

I also want you to know,

I loved your mother very much
and still think of her often.

Happy birthday, my Mia.

All my love, your father.

[man] And there's Countess Puck of Austria
as the glamorous continue to arrive

at the Genovian Independence Ball.

Despite the threat of rain,
the big turnout includes

the mayor of San Francisco
and the Genovian pear juggler.

The future of Genovia is in the hands
of young Mia Thermopolis.

Her decision tonight
will affect the queen, the court,

and all the people
of this small, but proud, country.

[thunder rumbles]

-Do you think it's going to rain on us?
-It never comes down on Willie Brown.

-[chuckles] Thank you.
-Umbrellas up.

[thunder rumbles]

And that's enough pear juggling.

[Mia] The trip is off, Louie.

[soft meow]

[thunder rumbles]

Oh! Perfect.

[grunts]

Oh, come on.

Oh, come on, baby.

Genovians, you know, are famous for their
impeccable taste in art.

Also for their cheese.

Maybe it's string cheese.

-Don't do this, baby.

-[engine starts]
-Gotcha!

Oh!

Sorry, Mr. Robutusen.

Here you go.
It's already paid for.

-I didn't order pizza. I'm sorry, man.
-No, no, you must've.

Unless there's another
Michael Moscovitz living here.

We get a call, we deliver,
that's our motto.

-You don't make the pizza?
-No, no.

I just deliver them.

Press passes, thank you, thank you.

-Oh, hi, where are you from?
-Teen Scene Magazine.

Oh, good, good.

-The Queen has entered.
-[women repeat in foreign languages]

Do we have any news
on the von Troken matter?

-It will be decided tonight, ma'am.
-I'm afraid so.

-Where is she?
-She went somewhere. I know nothing.

-Nothing? Come here.
-[groaning] Oh, what? What? Oh.

Talk to me.

She went that way, then that way,
two minutes ago.

Thank you very much.

-Do we have any problems?
-No. Everything's perfect.

Perfect. It's wonderful.

You're not very good at lying, Charlotte.

No, I'm not, Your Majesty.

-The garden looks beautiful.
-Thank you.

Come on, baby, you can make it.

Yes, come on, yes. No.

Come on, baby. Baby, please. Come on.

[engine stalls]

There's no answer
at Princess Mia's house.

And I couldn't get Joseph
on the cell phone,

there's too much static from the storm.

The press are starting to complain
about making their deadlines.

[sighs]

If she's not here in ten minutes,
I'll make the announcement.

-[Charlotte] Yes, ma'am.
-It's OK. It's OK. She'll be fine.

She's gonna get here.

Is this punishment for driving

without a licensed driver
in the front seat?

[thunder rumbling]

I am invisible and I am wet.

The press is wondering if it would be
possible while we're waiting...

No. No interviews until later
in the evening.

Yes, ma'am.

And we're meeting
Baroness and Baron von Troken.

Is it true if the teenager
refuses the princess-ship,

your family will take over
the country of Genovia?

Yes. They must have a legitimate Renaldi
blood relative or we rule.

No, ma'am.

Then it's time.

-Oh!

No, no, no, no running.

-Here we go. It's nice.
-Please. We're good.

Good. Here we go.

[Clarisse] ...this very special moment.

Thank you so much
for your patience.

I have an announcement to make.

-My granddaughter...
-[clears throat]

-She's here. She's here.
-I see.

I would like to announce that
my granddaughter has arrived.

With a fascinating explanation
as to her wardrobe, I'm sure.

She's styling a wet,
sort of grunge-look hairdo,

and is wearing a sweatshirt,
jeans and Docs.

Mia, would you care to say a few words?

Um, yes.

Why didn't we dress like her?
We look like idiots.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Do you think they're trying to
save money on the gown?

Hi. [stammering]

Hello, I'm Mia. Um...

It stopped raining.
[chuckles]

[groans]

Get your tiara ready.
[chuckles]

I'm really no good at speech making.

Uh, normally,
I get so nervous that I-I faint

or run away or, um,
sometimes I even get sick.

[all murmuring]

But you really didn't need to know that.

Um... but,

I'm not so afraid anymore.

No, my father helped me.

Earlier this evening,

I had every intention of
giving up my claim to the throne.

And my mother helped me

by telling me that it was OK
and by supporting me,

like she has for my entire life.

But then I wondered how I'd feel

after abdicating my role
as Princess of Genovia.

Would I feel relieved,
or would I feel sad?

And then I realized

how many stupid times a day
I use the word "I."

In fact, probably all I ever do
is think about myself.

And how lame is that when there is like

seven billion other people
out there on the planet and when--

[clears throat]

[stammers] Sorry, sorry,
I'm going too fast.

But then I thought...

If I cared about the other seven billion
out there, instead of just me,

that's probably
a much better use of my time.

See, if I were Princess of Genovia,

then my thoughts and the thoughts
of people smarter than me

would be much better heard
and just maybe,

those thoughts could be
turned into actions.

So, this morning when I woke up,

I was Mia Thermopolis.

But now...

...I choose to be, forevermore...

...Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis
Renaldi,

Princess of Genovia.

[applause]

I hope you didn't order
your stationary yet.

This was my very first tiara.

I was rather fond of it.
I'm hoping you will be, too.

Oh.

Grandma, but you had it all ready.
How did you know I'd even be here?

Because I recognize the same spirit in you
as someone else I know.

Hmm? Who?

Me.

Ah-ha! You made it.

You bet your life,
you big, tall string bean.

Here. Paolo here to save the day.

I think perhaps we'd better

Thank you.

No longer does Mia
stand for missing in action,

Genovia has a new princess.

[low-tempo music plays]

[mouthing] Bow.

They had the same idea I had,
but now the garden is ocupado.

[chuckles]

Why me?

Because you saw me
when I was invisible.

And just because I'm royal
doesn't mean I'm any different.

I mean, come on,
I'm really the same person.

And yes, I will have to live
in Genovia a little bit,

but I'm still gonna go to school, and...

[Mia] Dear Diary,

today is my first official day
as Princess of Genovia.

We'll land in a few hours and
I'll meet the Parliament and the people

before beginning my royal duties.

Mom is, of course,
moving to Genovia with me

and will continue painting,
without the balloons.

Lilly and Michael are planning
to spend their summer vacation

at our, can you believe it, palace.

They're even having
my Mustang brought over,

which I can legally drive in two weeks.

Grandma's so glad to be going home.

And Joseph?
Well, he is watching nearby, as usual.

Everybody's got pre-coronation jitters,
including me.

Everybody, that is, except Fat Louie,
he's totally adapted to being a royal.

I guess he was one all along.

[Joe] Princess, look out the window...

...and welcome to Genovia.
