Barbie as the Island Princess Page #2

---

RO:
Everybody's like me.

But nobody's like me.

Let's go home, Ro.

Without exploring?

That doesn't sound like you, Tika.

What do you think?

It's so different.

Good to have you back, Your Highness.

Good to see you too, Gerard.

What kind of beasts have you

brought home this time?

Did he just call us beasts? Beasts?

(AZUL GOBBLING)

(PEOPLE REMARKING)

Isn't it amazing?

The royal carriage.

(AZUL GOBBLING)

Translation?

Azul likes riding in style.

And now for you.

If you don't mind, I'll go with Tika.

Oh, of course.

Whoa!

Antonio! Antonio!

GINA:
We missed you!

Your hair grew so long.

RITA:
Who are they?

ANTONIO:
Let me introduce my friend Ro.

She grew up far away, on an island.

Hello.

ANTONIO:
My sisters, Rita...

Hello.

Sofia...

Hello.

And Gina.

Hi.

GINA:
Are these your pets?

RO:
No, my family.

Sagi, Azul...

(AZUL GOBBLING)

I'm sorry.

Prince Azul Vasu Morantha, the fourth.

(PRINCESSES GASPING)

GINA:
A rainbow.

And little Tika.

PRINCESSES:
Little?

Such soft ears.

And the cutest nose ever.

Do it again.

(PRINCESSES LAUGHING)

I can't wait for you to meet my parents.

We should have waited.

I know what's best for my own son.

Our son.

How could I have asked him?

He was somewhere on the high seas. Again.

I know someone else

who loved adventure as a boy.

Yes, and then I grew up.

I take my responsibilities seriously.

Something he needs to learn.

Oh, Peter.

Mother, Father!

Oh, Antonio, dear.

(TALLULAH GABBLING)

How are you, Tallulah?

(TALLULAH CHATTERING)

Good to have you home.

Good to be home, Father.

I'd like you to meet someone special.

Her name is Ro.

Ro?

Whoa!

That's Azul. And this is Sagi.

Where's Ro?

Another pet for me? Oh, he's charming.

Don't you think so, Tallulah?

Mother, Father,

may I introduce Ro.

Frazer and I found her stranded on an island,

probably shipwrecked years ago.

Um, hello. Nice to meet you.

DANIELLE:
Welcome.

What an ordeal. Alone for all those years.

Oh, I wasn't alone.

I had all the animals,

and the dolphins, and the birds.

Pets can be such a comfort.

I can't imagine life

without darling little Tallulah.

Where'd you come from?

Quite far, actually. The South Seas.

We're from the South Seas, too.

You understand?

(CHATTERING)

Nice to meet you.

(TALLULAH CHATTERING)

RO:
Really?

(CHATTERING)

That long?

Antonio, what exactly is she doing?

Can you believe it?

Ro actually talks to animals.

Isn't that interesting.

Now, Antonio, I have important news.

A cause for celebration!

Son, I am delighted to introduce to you

Princess Luciana.

Your bride-to-be.

My what?

Welcome, my dear.

A pleasure to meet you, Prince Antonio.

Likewise, Your Highness.

Father, I'm...

Very excited, I'm sure.

And her mother, Queen Ariana.

An honor to meet my future son-in-law.

Your Highness.

Father, I am...

Overcome with joy, I'm sure.

ARIANA:
I can just see it.

Everyone gathered here

for the Engagement Ball tomorrow night!

Tomorrow?

What was I thinking?

He belongs here, we don't.

Couldn't you grow to like it?

Ro. Ro, wait!

I had no idea.

Thank you for showing me civilization,

but I want to go back.

When can the next ship take me home?

Please stay.

Pick any room in the castle,

and the animals will be comfortable

in our Royal Stable.

I like the sound of that.

Thank you, but I'll stay with my family.

I can't get it!

RO:
How's this?

Ah! Yeah! Perfect!

Thank you.

Glad to help.

(SQUEALING)

Did she just answer me?

How did she do that?

Better watch what you say.

Nice to meet you, I'm Ro.

I'm Lorenzo, pig in charge.

We like to humor him.

SAGl:
Could we trouble you

for a place to stay?

Plenty of room for you right here.

(GRUNTING)

We couldn't impose.

Please just show us to a nice, sturdy tree.

A tree?

The pig in charge can take you

to the Royal Greenhouse.

I can't marry Princess Luciana.

Why?

She's beautiful, talented.

From an impeccable royal family.

I'm sure she is, but there's someone else.

Antonio, you don't mean...

(LORENZO GRUNTING)

(RO LAUGHING)

She's different from any girl I've met before.

Clearly.

She's daring, curious.

At home in the outdoors.

She also talks to animals.

Be serious for once in your life, Antonio.

I've let you travel to your heart's content,

but the time has come for you to settle down.

And as a prince, you must marry a princess.

And only a princess.

AZUL:
Now this is more like it!

A place for a royal bird.

Oh, poor thing.

(SIGHS)

Here you are, Pearl.

They could have found me a bigger room.

LUCIANA:
It's fine, Mother.

Not for the mother

of the future Queen of the kingdom.

LUCIANA:
Queen? I'm not even married yet.

And, I'm not sure I should.

Don't even joke about that!

Did you see the way he looked

at the island girl?

With disdain? Contempt? Scorn?

No, with love, Mother.

I've always dreamed

of marrying somebody I love,

and who loves me.

Love? I certainly didn't love your father

when I married him.

Love is for peasants,

which we're obviously not

Who needs a heart that is going to bleed?

It's inconvenient and just makes you hot

Let mama tell you what you need

Not just any clown

Someone with a crown

And a happy life is guaranteed

But, Mother, that can't be right.

Did you say something?

All the books I've read

All the poems always said

That a heart is made to share

Joy's not found in things

such as necklaces and rings

But in love that's always there

That's the jewel beyond compare

You need to stop reading those books!

Filling your head with thoughts.

Now, go, Luciana.

Do something to make yourself prettier.

Yes, Mother.

The king's forgotten how he wrecked

my family's life

When I was just a tiny tot

Just 'cause we tried to kill

him and his wife

A little treason, not a lot

He took away our land

which wasn't what we planned

He put us on a pig farm and forgot

I ran away and I must say I

cleaned up good

My past was nothing I'd discuss

I found the oldest king that I could

His heart condition was a plus!

Sunday we were wed

Wednesday he was dead

Happily that put an end to us

But when I heard that

good King Peter had a son

I had a daughter right away

Put her in training, so she'd be the one

Oh, how I've waited for this day!

Once they tie the knot,

I'll implement my plot

Then I'll use the king's head for croquet

I'll take what should be mine

And leave him with the swine

And I'll have my way

They're gonna pay

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

RO:
Good morning, Tika.

Did you sleep well?

I can't wait till we go home.

Not that simple, is it?

Now that I'm here...

I know there must be people I belong to.

Somewhere.

But how do I find them?

I know that we're a long way

from home, Tika,

but, at least we're all together.

(DOOR OPENS)

Ro! I've been looking everywhere for you.

What's he doing here?

I'd like my parents to get to know you better.

Please, join us for tea.

Tea?

I love this castle.

Everything is just the way I...

I would have done it myself.
