Barbie in the Pink Shoes Page #3

swans by the evil sorcerer Rothbart.

Yeah, I know the story.

- And this lake is made of

their parents' tears. - Ew!

How'd I miss that part?

Look, just give them back their crown

and let's go.

- Don't even think about dancing.

- Oh, okay.

Good evening, ladies.

[KRISTYN GASPS]

- Prince Siegfried.

- Heh. Of course. Hm.

I'm most fortunate to come upon

such beauty here in the moonlight.

My name is Siegfried.

I think we've met before.

I'm a prince.

I get that a lot.

And what are your names?

This is my friend, Hailey.

And my name is...

Odette. For a few minutes more,

her name is Odette.

Shall we dance?

Of course.

[TCHAIKOVSKY'S "WHITE SWAN

PAS DE DEUX" PLAYING]

Odette, such a beautiful name.

- Where are you from?

- I'm from, uh, you know, around.

Is this domestic silk or imported?

Wow. I've never seen anyone dance like this.

It's like you're making up the steps

as you go along.

It just flows right through me, you know?

So little Miss Odette

has come to the party, hm?

I know we've just met...

...but I wanna invite you to a party

tomorrow night at my royal pavilion.

- A party?

- Yes, right over there.

Oh.

SIEGFRIED:
Say you'll come.

I want you to know more about me.

More about my world.

- I could stay here forever.

- No, no, Kristyn.

What are you-? No, no.

Kristyn, don't you dare.

- Hey, hey.

SIEGFRIED:
Well, I hope you do.

Oh, she will. Right here on this lake.

Kristyn, the sun.

I think it might be time

for me to go now.

So you'll come to the party?

I won't leave until you say yes.

I'll be there. Save a dance for me.

I will only dance with you. Until then...

- Oh, isn't he dreamy?

- Yeah, he's so cute. Okay, we need to go.

But what about the party?

Aren't you forgetting

what Rothbart does to Odette?

Magic spell, turn into swan,

tragic ending, remember?

Thank you for that flattering introduction.

Too late.

BOTH:

Rothbart!

Shoes, Kristyn. It's our only chance.

Take off those pink...

...feet.

[KRISTYN & HAILEY SCREAM]

BOTH:

You're a-

Ugh. This is so not my day.

Now listen up, my feathery friends.

My darling daughter Odile

will marry Prince Siegfried...

...without so much

as a honk from any of you.

Do you understand?

[BOTH HONKING]

Flap. Peck at his shoes.

Yeow! Ow, ow, ow!

My booties!

[GRUNTING]

Now get in the water.

Aw, Lake of Tears. Ugh. Ick.

Gross.

[HOOFBEATS APPROACHING]

SNOW QUEEN:

Rothbart.

Disruption is spreading across the land.

What news?

[CLEARS THROAT]

Uh, not a problem here. Everything is fine.

A- okay. Uh, pheasant jerky?

Quail jerky? Swan jerky?

[KRISTYN & HAILEY HONKING]

Act natural.

Do something swan-ish.

[SQUAWKING]

Uh, so, Majesty,

as you can see here, everything is, uh...

[COUGHS]

- ... hunky-dory.

SNOW QUEEN:
Hm.

You will attend the Prince's Regency Ball,

I presume.

Well, of course.

With my little flower, Odile.

She grows more beautiful

and talented by the day.

She'll be honoured

to dance for the prince. Ha-ha-ha.

Yes, as she must.

I'm off to the ball, ha, ha...

...where they'll be serving swan livers

swimming in swan gravy...

...and a swan sorb- Ooh.

[COUGHS]

[SQUAWKS]

Oh! The coin said south.

Therefore we should head south.

See here. The weeds are trampled.

Two women on foot from the looks of it.

- But the coin.

- Money cannot buy everything, you know.

There is value in doing things yourself.

Like milking a cow

or hunting your own food.

Oh, ridiculous.

What fun is there in blisters, calluses

or creases in your trousers?

Here. Let me show you.

This is how you hunt.

Bull's eye.

Now you try.

[GRUNTING]

[ALBRECHT YELLS]

There. Doesn't that feel valuable?

HAILEY:

Ugh. What are we gonna do now?

KRISTYN:
There's only one place we can go.

- And that is?

To the ball. I have to dance with Siegfried

again in order to break Rothbart's spell.

The only thing

that can break the spell is true love.

You only danced with him once.

Yes, but there was magic in the air.

Didn't you feel it?

Yeah, there was, from Rothbart,

and now we're swans.

So we have to get to the ball...

...before Odile can trick the prince

into saying he loves her.

[HAILEY SIGHS]

It's going to be a long walk

with these tiny feet.

Ah, you forget, we've got these.

How hard can it be?

[GRUNTING]

[KRISTYN GASPS]

I'm flying. This is amazing. Try it, Hail.

Ugh. Yeah, sure. How hard can it be?

I'm a swan now. I should be able to fly.

[GRUNTING]

Okay, I can't do it.

Just keep trying.

[HORSE NEIGHS]

BOTH [SINGING]:

That's my name too

Whenever I go out

The people always shout

There goes

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt

Da da da da da da

A little bit softer now.

[SINGING SOFTLY]

John Jacob Jing-

No, I mean

don't scare the birds. Look.

Oh. The perfect place to rest.

Ha-ha-ha.

Well, look who finally showed up.

Hey. It's the wedding singers.

Oh, and they've got some food.

Be careful.

Psh. We're just birds, remember?

Ooh. Look at those delicious swans.

Delicious? Why you...

[HONKING]

Hailey!

I'll bag a few for Giselle.

Allow me.

- Fly, Hailey, fly!

- Oh, boy.

You did it.

[HAILEY CHUCKLES]

I can fly. Ha, ha. I can fly. Ha-ha-ha!

I did it. Ha! Fantastic.

You missed by 20 feet.

And now they're gone.

That's hardly the kind of gift

a girl wants to receive anyway.

"Marry me! Oh, here's a dead bird!"

Hm. You'll come off like a golden retriever.

There's meat for a week on that bird.

And soft down feathers for a pillow.

Whatever you have to tell yourself,

my friend.

HILARION:

It doesn't have to be a pillow.

Look, my cousin Sieg

is having a party tonight.

All the girls in the land will be there.

Giselle is sure to turn up.

[CHATTERING]

Tonight, Siegfried, you choose a bride.

Oh, I will, Mother, I will.

Hm...

[CHUCKLES]

How do I look, Daddy?

You look perfect,

except for one little thing.

There we go.

And don't forget,

I'll introduce you as Odette.

And I'll get the prince

to fall in love with me.

There she is, Mother.

The girl I've been telling you about.

She's lovely, my dear.

Yeah, I think she's the one.

Ah, Your Highness.

Allow me to introduce

my daughter Odette.

I'm so glad you're here.

Of course you are.

- Shall we dance?

- Heh.

Let's make magic.

["WHITE SWAN" PLAYING]

[HAILEY SIGHING AND PANTING]

HAILEY:

Okay. Wow.

We do not fly quickly. Ha, ha.

I did not know that about swans.

I just hope we aren't too late.

[KRISTYN GASPS]

That music.

They've started.

She's me already.

And you can't transform back

until the sun goes down.

Go down.

Go down, go down, go down.

You dance beautifully.

And you're even more beautiful.

Look how he's gazing into her eyes.

He's totally falling for her. I mean me.

I mean, we've gotta stop those two.

Come on.

[BOTH HONKING]

[CROWD MURMURING]

Almost there. Almost there. Yes.

Aah, aah! Unh.

Sun's down.

It's you.

You're the one.

This isn't how it goes.

[SQUEALS]

Daddy!

[SOBBING]

Now, now, little precious, Daddy's here.

Shushie.
