KRISTOFF:

What do you want, Sven?

Kristoff leans in and speaks for Sven, as if he can.

KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONT’D)

Give me a snack.

KRISTOFF (CONT’D)

What’s the magic word?

KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONT’D)

Please!

Kristoff pulls a carrot out of his shirt pocket and hands it

to Sven. Sven tries to bite the whole thing.

KRISTOFF (CONT’D)

Hey, hey, hey! Share!

Sven takes a smaller bite. Kristoff then has a bite himself,

not seeming to care that it’s covered in reindeer slobber.

We move on to PERSI and AGGIE, a super-excited couple who

rush towards the castle.

FROZEN - J. Lee

PERSI:

I can’t believe they’re finally

opening up the gates!

AGGIE:

And for a whole day! Faster, Persi!

They pass a tiny but menacing DUKE, who wears taps on his

shoes to “enhance” his presence. Two THUG guards follow close

behind him.

DUKE:

Ah, Arendelle, our most mysterious

trade partner. Open those gates so

I may unlock your secrets and

exploit your riches.

(catching himself)

...Did I just say that out loud?

We leave him and head down the bridge towards the castle

gates, passing an Irishman and a Spanish Dignitary.

IRISHMAN:

Oh, me sore eyes can’t wait to see

the Queen and the Princess. I bet

they’re absolutely lovely.

SPANISH DIGNITARY

I bet they are beautiful.

We move past them, to a particular castle window.

CUT TO:

INT. CASTLE, ANNA’S BEDROOM — DAY

Anna, 18, snores. Drools. KNOCK. KNOCK.

KAI (O.S.)

Princess Anna...?

Anna sits up. She’s got major bedhead. She coughs. Snorts.

Pulls a hair from her mouth.

ANNA:

...Huh? Yeah?

KAI (O.S.)

Sorry to wake you, ma’am but--

ANNA:

No, you didn’t. I’ve been up for

hours.

FROZEN - J. Lee

She falls back asleep while sitting. She snores. Her head

drops, startling her awake.

ANNA (CONT’D)

Who is it?

KAI (O.S.)

It’s still me, ma’am. Time to get

ready.

ANNA:

Ready for what?

KAI (O.S.)

Your sister’s coronation, ma’am.

ANNA:

My sister’s cor-neration...

One eye opens enough to catch sight of her coronation dress.

She bolts, wide awake in excitement.

ANNA (CONT’D)

Coronation Day! Ha ha!

SLAM CUT TO:

EXT. CASTLE HALL — DAY

Anna bursts out of her room, wearing her coronation dress.

She finishes pinning ribbons in her hair. Seeing the hustle

and bustle of preparations, she can’t help but SING.

“For the First Time in Forever”

ANNA:

THE WINDOW IS OPEN!

SO'S THAT DOOR!

I DIDN'T KNOW THEY DID THAT ANYMORE.

WHO KNEW WE OWNED 8000 SALAD PLATES...?

-Anna slides along the floor of the ballroom in her socks.

ANNA (CONT’D)

FOR YEARS I HAVE ROAMED THESE EMPTY HALLS

WHY HAVE A BALLROOM WITH NO BALLS?

FINALLY, THEY'RE OPENING UP THE GATES!

-She shakes hands with a suit of armor. Breaks it. Hides the

evidence.

FROZEN - J. Lee

ANNA (CONT’D)

THERE'LL BE REAL, ACTUAL PEOPLE IT'LL

BE TOTALLY STRANGE.

BUT WOW AM I SO READY FOR THIS CHANGE!

-Anna comes to a window and jumps out onto a window washer’s

pulley. She raises herself up to see the ships arriving.

ANNA (CONT’D)

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,

THERE'LL BE MUSIC, THERE'LL BE LIGHT.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,

I'LL BE DANCING THROUGH THE NIGHT.

-Anna walks through the garden and follows a family of geese.

ANNA (CONT’D)

DON'T KNOW IF I'M ELATED OR GASSY,

BUT I'M SOMEWHERE IN THAT ZONE

'CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,

I WON'T BE ALONE.

(speaking)

I can’t wait to meet everyone....

(GASP) What if I meet THE ONE?

-Anna twists herself in a velvet drape like it’s a gown. She

acts like she looks gorgeous, but she looks ridiculous.

ANNA (CONT’D)

TONIGHT, IMAGINE ME GOWN AND ALLFETCHINGLY

DRAPED AGAINST THE WALL.

THE PICTURE OF SOPHISTICATED GRACE.

-She notices the bust of a man across the room.

ANNA (CONT’D)

(google-eyed)

I SUDDENLY SEE HIM STANDING THERE,

A BEAUTIFUL STRANGER TALL AND FAIR.

(mouth full of chocolate)

I WANNA STUFF SOME CHOCOLATE IN MY

FACE!

-She grabs the bust of the man and swings it around.

ANNA (CONT’D)

BUT THEN WE LAUGH AND TALK ALL EVENING,

WHICH IS TOTALLY BIZARRE.

NOTHING LIKE THE LIFE I'VE LED SO FAR.

The bust goes flying and lands on the top of the cake.

-Anna bursts into the portrait room, bounces on the

furniture, and interacts with the paintings.

FROZEN - J. Lee

ANNA (CONT’D)

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,

THERE'LL BE MAGIC, THERE'LL BE FUN.

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,

I COULD BE NOTICED BY SOMEONE.

AND I KNOW IT IS TOTALLY CRAZY

TO DREAM I'D FIND ROMANCE.

BUT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER,

AT LEAST I'VE GOT A CHANCE!

-INT. LIBRARY. ELSA, now a very poised 21, watches out the

window as the coronation guests arrive.

ELSA:

DON'T LET THEM IN.

DON'T LET THEM SEE.

BE THE GOOD GIRL

YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE.

Elsa moves to a painting of her father’s coronation. She

takes off her gloves and mimics the painting by holding a

candlestick and ornament in place of an orb and scepter.

ELSA (CONT’D)

CONCEAL. DON'T FEEL.

PUT ON A SHOW.

MAKE ONE WRONG MOVE

AND EVERYONE WILL KNOW.

The candlestick and ornament ice over. Elsa gasps, slams them

back down onto the table. She tries to reassure herself.

ELSA (CONT’D)

BUT IT'S ONLY FOR TODAY.

We cut between Anna’s excitement and Elsa’s nerves.

ANNA:

IT'S ONLY FOR TODAY!

ELSA:

IT'S AGONY TO WAIT.

ANNA:

IT'S AGONY TO WAIT!!!

ELSA:

TELL THE GUARDS TO OPEN UP THE GATE.

ANNA:

THE GATE!!!

-Finally, the gates are open! Anna moves through the crowd,

admiring the people around her.

FROZEN - J. Lee

ANNA (CONT’D)ELSA

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DON'T LET THEM IN

FOREVER. DON'T LET THEM SEE

ANNA ELSA:

I'M GETTING WHAT I'M DREAMING BE THE GOOD GIRL

OF YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO BE

ANNA ELSA:

A CHANCE TO LEAVE MY SISTER'S CONCEAL.

WORLD CONCEAL. DON'T FEEL.

A CHANCE TO FIND TRUE LOVE DON'T LET THEM KNOW.

-Anna hurries over the bridge and into the village square.

ANNA (CONT’D)

I KNOW IT ALL ENDS TOMORROW,

SO IT HAS TO BE TODAY!!

‘CAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN

FOREVER. . .

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER!

NOTHING'S IN MY WAY!!!

-Anna SLAMS right into the breast of a HORSE!

She falls back and lands in a small wooden boat. It tips off

of the dock. She’s heading overboard. But just then, the

horse slams his hoof into the boat and steadies it.

ANNA (CONT’D)

(frustrated)

Hey!

HANS:

I’m so sorry. Are you hurt?

The rider, HANS, sure is handsome and regal.

ANNA:

(gentler)

Hey. I-ya, no. No. I’m okay.

HANS:

Are you sure?

ANNA:

Yeah, I just wasn’t looking where I

was going. But I’m okay.

He hops down from his horse and steps into the boat.

ANNA (CONT’D)

I’m great, actually.

FROZEN - J. Lee

HANS:

Oh, thank goodness.

He offers her a hand and their eyes meet. Chemistry. He helps

her to her feet.

HANS (CONT’D)

(bowing)

Prince Hans of the Southern Isles.
