Barbie of Swan Lake Page #4

(cut to a raven approaching Rothbart's castle)

Odile:
Boring! Dull! Ugly! Ah! I have nothing to wear! It's humiliating! (notices Rothbart) Oooh, I know that look. You are thinking, aren't you Daddy?

Rothbart:
I'm getting that crystal if I have to rip the crown right off her head!

Odile:
Crown? I don't have one of those! Get it for me, Daddy, I want one!

Rothbart:
Soon enough, my little starling.

Odile:
But I don't wanna wait! I'm like the most out of fashion bird princess in the forest! Why don't you just destroy her, Daddy? Any human can do it!

Rothbart:
A human? Of course! Rather that girl's a creature of the forest, even the magic crystal can't protect her from a human! Brilliant, ducky!

(cut to Prince Daniel riding a horse through the forest. He notices a big bird, which is Rothbart, and follows it. Rothbart brings him to the entering of the enchanted forest. Daniel leaves his horse and follows. Daniel discovers the enchanted forest)

Daniel:
Whoa.

(Daniel sees Rothbart and follows him. Odette is sleeping on the water)

Lila:
We looked all day and all night and... zippo! Nothing.

Carlita:
Shh! Don't wake her.

(Rothbart flies over Odette, waking her up. Lila neighs. Animals run away scared. Rothbart chases Odette. Daniel sees the swan and wants to shoot it)

Daniel:
What a prize!

Rothbart:
Go on, go on, take the shot, take the shot!

(Daniel stops aiming at the swan)

Daniel:
So beautiful!

Rothbart:
Ugh. What are you waiting for? Now! Now!

(Daniel lowers his bow. Odette sees the sun setting and lands. She transforms into a human. Daniel is surprised and approaches her)

Odette:
Ah!

Daniel:
Who are you?

Odette:
How did you get here? (bows) Your Highness.

Daniel:
You know me?

Odette:
My name is Odette, I live in the village. At least I did, until...

Daniel:
Until?

Rothbart:
Humans are such fools!

(cut to Odile looking at her reflection in the lake)

Odile:
Now, let's see. Maybe pearls? Ugh, no. Much too yesterday! Hmm. Now rubies and diamonds, now we're talking. Ooh, it's just so fire and ice! (shrieks)

(Ivan and Carlita look at her from the bushes)

Carlita:
Do you see what I see?

Ivan:
An opportunity?

Carlita:
Exactly! I just need a few of mis amigos...

Odette:
...and now I have to break Rothbart's spell... somehow.

Rothbart:
Well, well, well. I see the Fairy Queen still has some powers left. One arrow from a human, that's all it would've taken.

Daniel:
You wanted me to kill her!

Rothbart:
You're a hunter, aren't you? Why else would I lure you here? Now, of course, you're useless. As useless as, say, a pig?

(he zaps his magic at Daniel. Odette exclaims "No!" and stands in front of him)

Rothbart:
You can save him. Give me your crown and I'll leave him alone.

(Daniel aims his bow at him. Rothbart lights his ring and destroys the arrow)

Rothbart:
You obviously have no idea with whom you're dealing. (lights his ring but hears Odile's distant shouts "Daddy!". He ignores it, but then she shouts louder. He walks away. Daniel and Odette exchange looks)

(Odile is shown being sprayed by a few skunks, shrieking)

Carlita:
That's it! Let her reek!

Odile:
Oh, you are all roadkill! Daddy!!

(Rothbart lands and smells the air. Ivan, Carlita and the skunks run away)

Rothbart:
Odile!

Odile:
This is the worst day of my entire life! I wanna go home! NOW!

Rothbart:
Don't worry, you just need a bath. With some (choking) vinegar. And tomato juice! (transforms into a bird)

Odile:
What am I, a salad? (shows him to pick her up)

Rothbart, flying away, choking: A long bath!

Daniel:
Thank you, you saved me.

Odette:
As long as I wear the crystal, I'm protected. I wasn't really in danger.

Daniel:
That's not how I looked to me!

Odette:
I'm glad you're all right.

Daniel:
What is this place?

Odette:
I haven't seen very much. But I could show you Swan Lake.

(Daniel and Odette walk away, cut to the full moon. The elves are shown crossing the lake by stepping stones, carryinf baskets with fruit. Lila walks along the lake, sparkles follow her. Odette smells some flowers, sparkles fly out of them. The elves are dancing. Odette and Daniel are crossing the lake by the same stones. Sparkles light candles on a mushroom. The elves put fruit on it. One fairy gives Odette a bouquet. The sparkles fly out of it and transform Odette's blue dress into a pink one. Odette and Daniel sit next to the mushroom, Lila runs to Daniel. He seems worried, but Lila wiggles her ears with a smile. Daniel asks Odette for a dance. They dance together)

(Cut to the morning forest)

Daniel:
Odette, tomorrow night my mother is throwing a royal ball. Will you come with me?

Odette:
It's nearly dawn.

Daniel:
Come with me! I can protect you at my castle! You can bring your family, please!

Odette looks at the elves and Lila who look sad.

Odette:
Daniel, I... I can't. I don't know why, but somehow I'm connected to the magic crystal. I need to stay here to help them. I'll break the spell somehow.

Daniel:
I won't get Rothbart get away with this! I'll come back with an army!

Odette:
You can't, he's too powerful! He'll do to you what he's done to us!

Daniel:
I'll take that risk!

Odette:
And your men? Go home, I couldn't stand it if Rothbart hurt you to get at me!

Daniel:
And leave you here?

Odette:
Do you really want to help me?

Daniel:
Of course!

Odette:
Then, find my family. Tell them I'm alright and I'll be home soon. They must be worried...

Daniel:
But...

Odette:
Please, Daniel! For me? I'm safe as long as I have the crystal.

(the sun rises. Elves and Odette turn into animals)

Daniel:
No! No!

Odette:
You must go!

Daniel:
I'll go. But only if you promise to come to the castle.

Odette:
But...

Daniel:
Then I stay here with you.

Odette:
No. I'll come tomorrow night. I promise (swims away)

(cut to the bakery and Daniel approaching it on his horse. He knocks on the door, no answer)

Man:
They're gone, Your Highness.

Daniel:
When will they be back?

Man:
Ooh, hard to say. They're looking for their youngest daughter. She's gone missing.

Daniel:
When the baker returns, I'd be much obliged if you would tell him to come and see me right away.

Man, bowing:
Of course!

(Daniel rides away. Cut to Erasmus's vault. Laughing is heard)

Erasmus, throwing the door open: I found it! I found it! This troll's on the roll! (runs away. A mushroom turns into a crow, who then flies away)

(cut to the enchanted forest)

Erasmus:
Well, what did I tell you? I knew I would find it with my advanced filing system! It was just a matter of time.

Fairy Queen:
Well done, Erasmus.

Odette:
Where was it?

Erasmus:
Ehh... I was sitting on it. (Lila laughs) (to Odette) Here you go.

(Odette takes the book. The crystal sparkles and opens the book. Everyone gasps)

Odette (reads):
"The one who frees the magic crystal will share a love so true it will overcome all evil magic!@

Lila:
You and the prince! I knew it.

Odette:
Lila!

Carlita:
Uh-oh. There's a "However". "If, however, the true love..."
