Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper Page #3

Preminger, what would I do without you?

This is an outrage!

The most grievous insult!

I am sure we'll find her.

I insist we cancel the wedding if the

Princess does not return by the end of the day!

It doesn't add up.

Why would she run away?

Why don't you see for yourself.

Lilac?

- Where did you find this?

- On the Princess's desk.

Perhaps I can help you look for her.

Why don't you stick to

your books, schoolboy.

Wouldn't that be fun?

Lilac? She never scented

her stationary with lilac.

It was always rose.

Welcome, sir. Are you looking

for a gown for a special lady?

I can assure you, you will find only

the finest at Madame Carp's.

If I may, I would like to speak to

one of your seamstresses, Miss Erika.

I don't believe it!

The Princess sent for me!

- Oh, actually...

- I'm going to sing at the Castle... me!

- I came because...

- But, I'm not ready.

- I-I have to rehearse.

- If I could just...

I better change my dress. Ho-ho, what

am I talking about? I only have one dress!

Wait, isn't that why you're here?

I'm sorry, but no.

The Princess is missing and I

need you to help me find her.

Me?

Well what can I do?

Pretend to be

Princess Anneliese.

- Are you out of your mind?

- Just listen.

I suspect Preminger, the Queen's Advisor,

has taken the Princess off somewhere so...

...the Royal Wedding will be cancelled.

That's awful.

If you pretend to be the

Princess, just for a short while,

I can trick Preminger into

revealing where he's hiding her.

Pretend to be royalty?

I could get thrown in prison, or worse!

As can I but...

She's in real trouble, isn't she?

A girl like me...

Count me in.

Would you look at the size of this place!

- The likeness is remarkable.

- Except for my hair.

I've thought of that.

Wolfie!

Nice!

Blond in a box.

Um, Julian, we're missing

one teeny tiny detail.

I don't know a thing

about being a Princess.

Leave that to me.

It's all here in the Princess's

Book of Etiquette. Let's begin.

No nagging, bragging, sweating, fretting, slipping,

tripping, slurping, burping, twittering or frittering allowed.

Stay present, stay pleasant, stay proud.

To be a Princess

is to know which spoon to use

To be a Princess

is to own a thousand pairs of shoes.

To maintain a regal gait

leave the parsley on your plate

And be charming but detached

and yet amused.

To be a Princess

is to never be confused.

Do a pli and never fall

don't ever stray from protocol

All through the day

there's just one way you must behave

Do keep a grip and never crack

stiff upper lip and arch the back

Bend from above

and always wear your gloves, and wave.

Shoulders back and

tummy in and

Pinky out and

lift the chin and

Slowly turn the head from side to side.

- I see now.

Breathing gently, stepping lightly

Smile brightly, nod politely

Never show a thing you feel inside.

Glide.

To be a Princess

is to always look your best.

To be a Princess

is to never get to rest.

Sit for a portrait, never squirm.

Sleep on a mattress extra firm.

Speak and be clever

never at a loss for words.

Curtsy to every Count and Lord.

Learn how to play the harpsichord.

Sing lullabies and always

harmonize in thirds.

Thirds, thirds.

And... she has beautiful eyes

Your spirits rise when

she walks in the room.

I see.

Doors close and the chemistry grows.

She's like a rose

that's forever in bloom.

- Do a pli and don't

- Ever ever ever fall

- Never show dismay

- And be there when people call

Be prepared whatever royal life will bring

- Do keep a grip and don't...

- Ever ever ever crack

- Take a dainty sip

- Never ever turn your back

There's a time and place

and way for everything

To be a princess

Is to never make your bed

To be a princess

Is to always use your head

It is official, then.

Due to the disappearance of the Princess,

the wedding to King Dominick is cancelled.

Your Highness, wait!

May I present, Princess Anneliese.

Darling?

Anneliese?

Oh-hoh, you're back!

Where have you been?

I am sorry. I should not have run away.

Promise me you'll never do it again.

I still think we should cancel the wedding.

Yes, yes, but an agreement is an

agreement. The wedding is back on!

King Dominick is...

is, is due tomorrow!

Wonderful.

Uh, tomorrow?

And then, only a few short

days before the wedding.

Has anyone seen my spectacles?

If you'll excuse me,

I must be off to see to the...

ack!... arrangements.

Who let this mangey beast in here?

Everything alright, Preminger?

It soon will be.

What have you got there, boy?

From a silver fir tree.

What's Preminger doing

in the Western Forest?

Julian, wait! I want to hear all

about how you found Anneliese!

Ah... ah... of course, Your Majesty.

- Hey! I happen to know you've got a 5 of hearts.

- What do you mean you know?

- I saw it!

- You mean you cheated!

Yeah.

I mean, no!

Help, help!

Please, help me!

- Yes, Your Highness?

- What is it?

Hurry!

Ghost!

Get it!

Quick!

You're older, you get it!

You're closer, you get it!

It's got me!

Help!

- No, please!

- Well done, Serafina.

Go, go!

Let me in... you idiots!

Your Bossness,

everything is fine.

Fine, fine, fine, fine.

Just fine! See you soon.

How did she escape?

- Who?

- Who? The Princess!

You moron!

Idiot!

The Princess is here.

Sleeping!

Aren't you sleeping, Princess?!

Yes. I'm sleeping.

Now, boss, you don't want

to wake her up, do you?

She's a Royal...

She's a Royal, all right,

a royal pain in the behind!

Who interrupts my slipper?

Slumber, you bonehead!

Slumber, right!

I knew that.

Get out of that bed!

I can figure out how the

Princess escaped you two.

But why didn't she tell the

Queen she'd been captured?

Hmm, something's odd. I must solve

this Princess puzzle if I'm to be King.

King?

Preminger?

- Looking for something, Julian?

- How can you be King?

You're the tutor. You're

supposed to have all the answers.

Come here, Serafina.

- Who goes there?

- Princess Anneliese!

If you're the Princess, I'm the King.

- But, I am the Princess.

- Really?

Then how come I just saw the

Princess eating dinner with the Queen?

What Princess?

- Now move along before I lost my temper.

- You are speaking to Princess Anneliese!

- Let me through!

- I said move along!

Now!

We'll find help in here.

- What are you doing here?

- I beg your pardon!

Not another word!

You're coming with me!

Not done yet? If you weren't such a...

lazy... cow... those dresses would...

...be finished by now.

How dare you speak to her that way!

How dare I?

H- h-how dare I?!

Just who do you think you are?

Princess Anneliese!

That's a hoot!

You've got to change a lot more

than your hair to look like the Princess.

Why me and the Princess are

close, personal friends.

Oh really?

Now, shut up and get back to work!

I'm warning you, if you're going to

treat your seamstresses this way,...

...we'll take our Royal business elsewhere.

You're warning me?

We'll see your attitude change by morning.
