Frozen Page #7

OAKEN (O.S.)

Hoo hoo.

Anna turns to see a bright-faced fellow sitting low behind

the counter, fingers tapping tip to tip.

OAKEN (CONT’D)

Big summer blow out. Half off

swimming suits, clogs, and a sun

balm of my own invention, yah?

ANNA:

Oh, great. For now, how about

boots. Winter boots...and dresses?

FROZEN - J. Lee

OAKEN:

(slight disappointment)

That would be in our winter

department.

The winter department contains one outfit, a pick ax, and a

lonely pair of boots.

ANNA:

Oh. Um, I was just wondering; has

another young woman, the Queen

perhaps, I don’t know, passed

through here?

She brings the clothes and boots to the counter.

OAKEN:

Only one crazy enough to be out in

this storm is you, dear?

The front door suddenly blows open and in walks a mass of a

man covered in ice. Underneath is KRISTOFF.

OAKEN (CONT’D)

You and this fellow.... Hoo hoo.

Big summer blow out.

Kristoff walks right up to Anna.

KRISTOFF:

(in her face)

Carrots.

ANNA:

Huh?

KRISTOFF:

Behind you.

ANNA:

Oh, right. Excuse me.

Anna moves out of Kristoff’s way. He grabs a bunch of

carrots, tosses them on the counter, then moves through the

place, gathering other supplies.

OAKEN:

(to Kristoff)

A real howler in July, yah? Where

ever could it be coming from?

KRISTOFF:

The North Mountain.

FROZEN - J. Lee

ANNA:

(to herself)

North Mountain.

Kristoff brings his supplies to the counter. Oaken counts on

his fingertips.

OAKEN:

That’ll be forty.

KRISTOFF:

Forty? No, ten.

OAKEN:

(sweet as pie)

Oh dear, that’s no good. See these

are from our winter stock, where

supply and demand have a big

problem.

KRISTOFF:

You want to talk about a supply and

demand problem? I sell ice for a

living.

Kristoff motions out the window, where we see the blocks of

ice on his sled, covered in snow.

ANNA:

Ooh, that’s a rough business to be

in right now. I mean, that is

really...

(he shoots her a look)

Ahem. That’s unfortunate.

OAKEN:

Still forty. But I will throw in a

visit to Oaken’s sauna. Hoo hoo!

Hi, family.

Kristoff and Anna turn to see a naked family waving through

the window of the steaming sauna.

NAKED FAMILY:

Hoo hoo!

KRISTOFF:

...Ten’s all I got. Help me out.

OAKEN:

(isolating the carrots)

Ten will get you this and no more.

Kristoff seethes. Stalemate.

FROZEN - J. Lee

ANNA:

Okay, just tell me one thing; what

was happening on the North

Mountain? Did it seem magical?

Kristoff pulls down his scarf and gives Anna a firm answer.

KRISTOFF:

Yes! Now, back up while I deal with

this crook here.

Oaken stands up, revealing his seven-foot stature.

OAKEN:

What did you call me?

EXT. WANDERING OAKEN’S TRADING POST AND SAUNA — NIGHT

Oaken stomps out the door, carrying Kristoff with one arm.

KRISTOFF:

Okay. Okay, I’m- Ow! Whoa!

Oaken throws Kristoff, who face-plants in the snow.

OAKEN:

Bye bye.

Oaken slams the door. Kristoff sits up. His reindeer, Sven,

canters over, snorts, and nudges him, expectantly.

KRISTOFF:

No Sven, I didn’t get your carrots.

Sven huffs in his face. Kristoff turns away and sees

something. He points to a dilapidated barn.

KRISTOFF (CONT’D)

But I did find us a place to sleep.

And it’s free.

INT. WANDERING OAKEN’S TRADING POST AND SAUNA — NIGHT

Anna stands watching Oaken and all his great height as he

squeezes behind the counter and sits down low again.

OAKEN:

(teddy bear)

I’m sorry about this violence. I

will add a quart of lutefisk, so

we’ll have good feelings. Just the

outfit and boots, yah?

FROZEN - J. Lee

Anna looks between Kristoff’s supplies and the door.

CUT TO:

INT. OAKEN’S STABLES - NIGHT

Kristoff, now unfrozen, relaxes on a bed of hay, playing his

lute and singing to (and for) Sven.

”Reindeer(s) are Better than People”

KRISTOFF:

REINDEERS ARE BETTER THAN PEOPLE.

SVEN, DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S TRUE?

KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONT’D)

(throwing his voice)

YEAH, PEOPLE WILL BEAT YOU & CURSE

YOU & CHEAT YOU.

EVERY ONE OF EM'S BAD, EXCEPT YOU.

(speaking)

Oh, thanks, Buddy.

(singing, as Kristoff)

BUT PEOPLE SMELL BETTER THAN

REINDEERS.

SVEN, DON'T YOU THINK I'M RIGHT?

(As Sven)

THAT’S ONCE AGAIN TRUE,

FOR ALL EXCEPT YOU.

(As Kristoff)

YOU GOT ME. LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT.

(As Sven)

GOOD NIGHT.

(As Kristoff)

DON'T LET THE FROSTBITE BITE.

The door opens. Anna enters.

ANNA:

Nice duet.

Kristoff sits up with a start...sees who it is.

KRISTOFF:

Oh, it’s just you. What do you

want?

ANNA:

I want you to take me up the North

Mountain.

FROZEN - J. Lee

KRISTOFF:

I don’t take people places.

He lays back down, closes his eyes.

ANNA:

Let me rephrase that...

A sack of supplies lands in Kristoff’s lap.

KRISTOFF:

Umph.

He sits up. Looks in the bag.

ANNA:

Take me up the North Mountain....

Please.

He eyes her. He clearly doesn’t take orders.

ANNA (CONT’D)

Look, I know how to stop this

winter.

He considers, lies back down, pulls his hat over his eyes.

KRISTOFF:

We leave at dawn.... And you forgot

the carrots for Sven.

A bag of carrots hits Kristoff in the face.

KRISTOFF (CONT’D)

Ugh!

ANNA:

Oops. Sorry. Sorry. I’m sorry. I

didn’t-

(catching herself)

We leave now. Right now.

She steps back outside and waits, anxiously. Annoyed,

Kristoff offers Sven a carrot. Sven has a bite. Then Kristoff

has a bite, contemplating.

SLAM CUT TO:

EXT. MOUNTAIN HIGH — NIGHT

Sven races, top speed, up a narrow cliff, pulling the sled,

which skids precariously. Kristoff mans the reins. Anna sits

beside him.

FROZEN - J. Lee

KRISTOFF:

(trying to scare Anna)

Hang on! We like to go fast!

ANNA:

(fearless)

I like fast!

Anna leans back and puts her feet up on the dashboard.

KRISTOFF:

Whoa, whoa! Get your feet down.

He pushes her feet down.

KRISTOFF (CONT’D)

This is fresh lacquer. Seriously,

were you raised in a barn?

Kristoff spits on the dash to clean it. The spit flies back

and hits Anna in the face.

ANNA:

(grossed out)

Ew. No, I was raised in a castle.

She wipes off her face.

KRISTOFF:

So tell me, what made the Queen go

all ice-crazy?

ANNA:

...Oh well, it was all my fault. I

got engaged but then she freaked

out because I’d only just met him,

you know, that day. And she said

she wouldn’t bless the marriage-

KRISTOFF:

Wait. You got engaged to someone

you just met?

ANNA:

Yeah. Anyway, I got mad and so she

got mad and then she tried to walk

away, and I grabbed her glove--

KRISTOFF:

Hang on. You mean to tell me you

got engaged to someone you just

met?!

FROZEN - J. Lee

ANNA:

Yes. Pay attention. But the thing

is she wore the gloves all the

time, so I just thought, maybe she

has a thing about dirt.

KRISTOFF:

Didn’t your parents ever warn you

about strangers?

Anna eyes Kristoff up and down, then slides away from him.

ANNA:

Yes, they did.... But Hans is not a

stranger.
