Grace of Monaco Page #7

---

all of the unfair things that I see in it.

And that is why we are

honouring the Red Cross.

A force for good that is...

that is very close to my heart.

One of my dearest

friends once told me...

"that when people dream

of marrying royalty,

they rarely comprehend

what it actually means.

It means...

It means having to choose.

And... I chose the House of Monaco.

It may not seem a noble

place, it may seem...

Well, it may seem pompous and

it may seem circumstantial,

and... I may not speak

its language and...

Oh... (EXHALES)

It frustrates me at times, but...

it's my home.

And these are my people.

And they are good people.

And they're trying to do what's right,

in their own small corner of the world...

in the best way that they know how.

And those of you who are married

will know exactly what I mean.

Maybe I'm naive but...

I believe in fairy tales.

I do. I believe that they can

exist if we really want them to,

if we are prepared

to work hard enough.

I believe that the...

that the world will not always

be full of hatred and conflict if...

if we're willing to sacrifice enough.

And that is what...

That is what Monaco means to me.

And in a way that is why...

That is why I am Monaco.

I have no army, I...

I wish ill on no one.

I bear no resistance to

aggression, I just...

I'm here.

(EXHALES HEAVILY)

I'm here doing what I do,

trying to make a little difference in the

world in the best way that I know how.

But it wouldn't be real life,

or it wouldn't be the fairy tale,

if there wasn't someone trying

to destroy it, or crush it,

simply because it doesn't please them,

or simply because they can.

And I know some of you think

it's their right to do so.

But I don't think anyone

should have the right

to crush happiness or

beauty when they see it.

Well, it's...

It's not how I was raised.

And it's not the world

that I wish to...

It's not the world I

wish to be a part of.

I would rather that the...

that the tanks roll through my lawn,

I would rather that the

bombs fall on my house

than know I live in a world

where love doesn't conquer all.

Because...

Because I believe in love.

And... I believe that it's love

that has brought us here tonight.

And it's love...

It's love that will make us put

away our guns and our politics

and our fears and our prejudices,

and it's love that will

eventually make everything right.

And that is why tonight I

am going to celebrate it,

and I'm going to be

willing to defend it.

And I hope that you will all do

the same in your own way...

out there in your own lives.

American Aphrodite...

You're not really gonna drop a bomb

on Princess Grace, are you, Charles?

(WHISPERS) I love you.

FATHER TUCKER:
Long after I'm gone,

long after the House of

Grimaldi has fallen,

the world is going to remember

your name, Your Highness.

You are the fairy tale...

the serenity to which we all aspire.

And peace will come when you embrace the

roles you have been destined to play...

devoted mother, loyal wife,

compassionate leader.

Up against the task, larger than

yourself, you will overcome your fear.

Those that preceded you

will be forgotten.

Those that follow you will be inspired

by your strength and endurance.

For no matter where

you are, in years to come,

they will continue to whisper

your name:
The Princess Grace.

GRACE:
"For all one can wish for

in life is a place to belong,

to love and be loved without doubt,

without judgment, without condition.

This will be my fairy tale."

[ FOX:
TIME FLOWS LIKE TEARS]

I found an ocean in your eyes

And seeked an island in your arms

But now it's time to go

And time flows like tears

I know all golden days are gone

Dry is the fountain of our love

But still I see the

prettiest of your smiles

Lingering over me

But now it's time to say goodbye

Time flows like tears

Sweet love,

it's time to say goodbye

Let's make ourselves disappear

I'd like to see you one more time

Before you take my heart away

Consider this a

kind of last goodbye

To these unforgotten days

But now it's time to say goodbye

Time flows like tears

Sweet love,

it's time to say goodbye

Let's make ourselves disappear

And if you ever change your mind

It'd be fine

And if you ever change your mind

It'd be fine

Together

And time flows like tears

Time flows like tears

Time flows like tears

Let's make ourselves disappear
