Frozen Page #4

ANNA:

(curtseying)

Princess Anna of Arendelle.

HANS:

Princess...? My Lady.

He drops to his knees, head bowed. The horse bows too,

curling his hoof up and out of the boat.

The boat tips. Hans tumbles on top of Anna. Awkward.

ANNA:

Hi...again.

The horse slams his foot back into the boat to stabilize it.

Anna and Hans tumble the other way. Anna lands on top of him.

HANS:

Oh boy.

ANNA:

Ha. This is awkward. Not you’re

awkward, but just because we’re--

I’m awkward. You’re gorgeous.

(did she just say that?)

Wait, what?

Hans quickly gets to his feet and helps Anna up again.

HANS:

I’d like to formally apologize for

hitting the Princess of Arendelle

with my horse...and for every

moment after.

ANNA:

No. No-no. It’s fine. I’m not THAT

Princess. I mean, if you’d hit my

sister Elsa, that would be-- yeash!

‘Cuz, you know...

(patting the horse)

Hello.

(MORE)

FROZEN - J. Lee

ANNA (CONT'D)

(to Hans)

But, lucky you, it’s-it’s just me.

HANS:

Just you?

Hans smiles, amused. She smiles back. The bells RING. She

doesn’t notice at first; she’s too busy drinking in Hans’s

handsomeness.

ANNA:

...The bells. The coronation. I-I-I

better go. I have to...I better go.

She hurries off, stops, turns back. Gives Hans a little wave.

ANNA (CONT’D)

Bye!

As she rushes off again, Hans waves back. The horse waves

too, once again taking his hoof out of the boat.

HANS:

Oh no.

The boat falls, with Hans in it. SPLASH! It lands upside down

in the water. Hans raises it up off of him, gasping for air.

CUT TO:

INT. CHURCH CHAPEL — DAY

Elsa stands at the alter. Anna stands off to one side. She

peeks out to the audience.

Hans waves at her from the pews. He’s changed his clothes.

The crown is placed on Elsa’s head. The scepter and orb are

presented to Elsa on a pillow. She slowly reaches for them.

BISHOP:

(a whisper)

Your Majesty, the gloves.

Elsa hesitates. She breathes nervously, removes her gloves,

places them on the pillow. Her hands shake. She takes the orb

and scepter, then turns to the people.

BISHOP (CONT’D)

(formal, in Old Norse)

Sehm hon HELL-drr IN-um HELL-gum

AYG-num ok krund ee THES-um HELLgah

STAHTH, ehk teh frahm FUR-ear Uthear...

FROZEN - J. Lee

The scepter and orb start to freeze over.

BISHOP (CONT’D)

...Queen Elsa of Arendelle.

CROWD:

Queen Elsa of Arendelle.

Just in time. Elsa manages to set the orb and scepter back

down on the pillow before anyone notices the ice. She picks

up her gloves and slips them on. She made it.

CUT TO:

INT. GREAT HALL — NIGHT

Springy music fills the Great Hall. Guests dance. Eat. Laugh.

TRUMPETS SOUND.

KAI:

(announcing)

Queen Elsa of Arendelle.

Elsa enters, poised and looking surprisingly content. She

stands under a formal awning.

KAI (CONT’D)

Princess Anna of Arendelle!

Anna runs into the room, waves awkwardly. Kai ushers her over

to stand right next to Elsa.

ANNA:

Here? Are you sure?

She and Elsa sneak awkward peeks at each other.

ELSA:

...Hi.

ANNA:

Hi me...? Oh. Um. Hi.

ELSA:

...You look beautiful.

ANNA:

Thank you. You look beautifuller. I

mean, not fuller. You don’t look

fuller, but more beautiful.

FROZEN - J. Lee

ELSA:

Thank you.

They look out at the celebration.

ELSA (CONT’D)

So, this is what a party looks

like?

ANNA:

It’s warmer than I thought.

ELSA:

And what is that amazing smell?

They both close their eyes and inhale.

ANNA AND ELSA (TOGETHER)

...Chocolate.

Their eyes pop open. They laugh.

Elsa looks back out at the party. Anna looks at Elsa. She

wants to say so much, but she can’t think of where to start.

Just as she finds her way, Kai interrupts.

KAI:

Your Majesty. The Duke of

Weaseltown.

DUKE:

Weselton. The Duke of Weselton.

(to Elsa)

Your Majesty, as your closest

partner in trade, it seems only

fitting that I offer you your first

dance as queen.

The Duke does a funny flitter of his feet, a hitch-kick, and

a deep bow.

DUKE (CONT’D)

(whispers to himself)

One, two, three. Jump.

As he holds out his hand, head down, his toupee dips forward.

Anna giggles. Elsa looks at Anna, stifles a giggle herself.

ELSA:

(to the Duke)

Thank you...only I don’t dance.

FROZEN - J. Lee

DUKE:

(offended)

Oh...?

ELSA:

But my sister does.

ANNA:

What?

DUKE:

Lucky you....

ANNA:

Oh, I don’t think-

The Duke grabs Anna’s arm and yanks her away before she can

protest.

DUKE:

If you swoon, let me know, I’ll

catch you.

Anna looks back at Elsa, desperately.

ELSA:

Sorry.

OUT ON THE DANCE FLOOR: The Duke showboats, but he’s just

awful. Anna tries to make the best of it.

DUKE:

Like an agile peacock... CLUCKCLUGGLE-

CLUCK!

He lands on her feet.

ANNA:

Ow. Ow.

DUKE:

Speaking of, so great to have the

gates open. Why did they shut them

in the first place? Do you know the

reason? Hmm?

He gets in her face, suspicious.

ANNA:

...No.

FROZEN - J. Lee

DUKE:

Oh, all right. Hang on. They don’t

call me the little dipper for

nothing.

He dips Anna back. Elsa peeks through the crowd, can barely

hold in her laughter. Anna shoots Elsa funny, help-me looks.

DUKE (CONT’D)

(groove fully on)

Like a chicken...with the face of a

monkey...I fly.

JUMP CUT TO:

MOMENTS LATER...

Anna limps back to Elsa.

DUKE (O.S.)

Let me know when you’re ready for

another round, M’Lady.

ELSA:

Well, he was sprightly.

ANNA:

(rubbing her sore feet)

Especially for a man in heels.

ELSA:

Are you okay?

ANNA:

(loving Elsa’s attention)

I’ve never been better. This is so

nice. I wish it could be like this

all the time.

ELSA:

(sincere)

Me too....

But then Elsa catches herself. She stiffens up, looks away.

ELSA (CONT’D)

But it can’t.

ANNA:

Why not? If-

ELSA:

It just can’t.

FROZEN - J. Lee

Anna’s smile drops. She tries not to get emotional.

ANNA:

Excuse me for a minute.

She walks away. Elsa watches her go, saddened.

Moving through the crowd, Anna gets bumped by a bowing man’s

butt. She falls. Just before she hits the floor, Hans catches

her. He smiles perfectly.

HANS:

Glad I caught you.

ANNA:

Hans.

He smoothly sets his drink down on a passing tray. He lifts

her up and leads her in a romantic dance.

DISSOLVE TO:

LATER:
Anna and Hans drink and chat.

ANNA (CONT’D)

I often had the whole parlor to

myself to slide... Oops. Sorry.

She hits him in the face by mistake with her hand. He laughs.

DISSOLVE TO:

-THE CASTLE DOORS: Anna and Hans stroll out of the castle.

ANNA (CONT’D)

...Your physique helps I’m sure.

DISSOLVE TO:

-THE ROSE GARDEN... Hans notices her white streak.

HANS:

(about her white streak)

What’s this?

ANNA:

I was born with it, although I

dreamt I was kissed by a troll.

HANS:

I like it.

DISSOLVE TO:

FROZEN - J. Lee

EXT. BALCONY — NIGHT

Anna teaches Hans how to eat krumkake.

ANNA:

Yeah, the whole thing! You got it.

They laugh as the krumkake crumbles in his face.
