I'd like you to meet your new assistant.

What happened to Albert?

Albert was a blemish

on the face of Prince and Company.

I fired him.

Just like you did

those 18 other assistants?

Guess there's no use in worrying

about the pension plan around here, huh?

He's got a sense of humor. I like that.

We can use that around here.

No peeking!

- Why won't you let me see it?

- Because I am an artiste.

You wouldn't want to interrupt

the creative flow, would you?

Montrose, this show

will be elegant and demure, won't it?

- No crazy stuff.

- You have my word.

Fine.

The pursuit of excellence

begins with elegance.

"The pursuit of excellence

begins with elegance. "

I haven't been elegant and demure

since I graduated from finishing school.

Entre.

She's pretty.

What is all this

enchanted-peasant-girl stuff?

Oh, it's a typical old world tale.

Girl meets prince.

Evil sorcerer turns girl into wood

for 1,000 years,

Lord knows how.

Wooden girl becomes

major tourist attraction.

Yeah, that's pretty typical, all right.

Would you like to try

one of our new fragrances?

No, thanks.

Tabu. How mysterious. Hit me again, Gail.

You never buy, Hollywood.

Well, no.

That is because I am constantly evolving.

Put it right here, Jason.

- How about a gift for your girlfriend?

- Oh, I don't have one.

So you're looking.

For true love. Yeah. Sure.

True love is like the Loch Ness monster.

Everyone has heard of it,

but no one has ever seen it.

- I have.

You know, I don't know.

I think there's someone out there

for everyone.

I couldn't agree more.

You just have to follow your heart,

and your nose.

Well, my, my, my.

Aren't we the little coquette?

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but, Jason,

I think that if you asked Gail out,

she would probably say yes.

Am I hallucinating, Gail?

Excuse me, I'm beeping. Pardon moi.

Put it right there, Jason.

Well, I am free Friday, Jason.

I'm free, too, Gail.

Well, why rush it?

I mean, looks like we're gonna be

working here together.

- Why don't we just, you know...

- Something terrible has happened.

The enchanted peasant girl

has been in an accident!

Come on. We must go.

Follow me! Move your buns!

Still free Friday.

My little nip and tuck

derriere is gonna be in a sling

if anything happens to that statue,

those clothes or the royal jewels.

I'm sure

everything's gonna be fine.

Oh, it's just the word "jewels. "

I have these beads and baubles,

mementos of old flames.

Souvenirs for old

Mr. Left Behind Hollywood.

Oh, it's just so cheap and tawdry.

Well, at least they thought enough of you

to give you the gifts.

I bought them myself.

Wow!

Hold it right there, man.

Someone please kill me!

I don't want to live!

Just breathe or something, would you?

Jeez! The whole thing's gonna go!

Get out of the truck!

Be careful. The girl will fall out.

We must secure the doors.

All my years on the force, I never saw

anybody more stupid than you guys.

The sign said "keep right. "

To the end of the bridge,

where the street is.

Hoist her up.

But the peasant girl!

- It's gonna go! Get out!

- No!

I'll save you!

Oh, chivalry's not dead.

Let go!

Where is Jacques Cousteau

when you need him?

Give her to us. She's ours.

Take it.

- There he is!

Don't you ever touch

the enchanted peasant girl.

Oh, my hero!

You saved the presentation

and my phony baloney job.

I could have sworn she was real.

She's a mannequin.

I could have sworn she was real.

She's the enchanted peasant girl.

Let me guess.

You must be the boys

from Hauptmann-Koenig.

My, haven't we been

hoarding the steroids.

We are here to guard

our national treasure.

Oh, and doing a fabulous job.

Did you recover

the rest of the sacred wardrobe?

I thought Arnold did.

I thought you did.

No!

Goodbye, boys.

Jason, let's take the mannequin

back to the store.

Yeah, we wouldn't want her to catch cold.

They're so dumb. I just love that in a man.

This is the strangest thing

that's ever happened to me.

Believe me,

stranger things have happened.

Yeah? Well, not to me, they haven't.

Do you think these jewels are real?

Honey, this little country girl knows jewels

and, believe me, those are real.

It's your fault.

No, it's your fault.

We have to catch a ride.

I know how.

Hey, look!

I don't believe this.

I don't believe it.

Whoo!

Hey!

All right, let's give them a ride.

Oh, baby, yeah.

- Get in.

- Get in.

Get in. I told you it would work.

Take them up.

Did you get my note?

- Yes, Andy, I got it.

Well?

Look, you're very sweet,

but you can't buy my car insurance.

- Why not?

- Andy, can I give you a little tip?

Car insurance is not very romantic.

Say that after a major injury accident.

Andy, let's just leave it that we're friends.

Really? What kind of friends?

The kind that

don't talk to each other much

and never go out.

Excuse me, just one sec...

You boys have been playing

in the Kitty Litter.

No, we have to ride in garbage truck.

Have you seen the enchanted peasant girl?

No. But you could imagine me

in a different outfit.

- Ja.

- Come on. We have to find her.

- Here, have a little.

- That's nice.

We have to get ourselves

some new clothes.

Ja, we do stink.

What are you so nervous about?

You were made for each other.

Estelle, this is Clark.

I command you to come to life.

I must be crazy.

Oh, yeah.

There is definitely

something wrong with me.

2.5 billion women in the world

and I'm trying to score with a statue.

- Gesundheit.

Danke schn.

You're welcome. Whoa! Whoa!

- My prince.

- Stay back.

Why are you running?

Why am I running? Why are you moving?

I saw you in the water

and in the fast wagon.

Water. That's it.

It's the toxins in the river,

they do strange things to your brain!

My prince, why are you doing this?

- Have you lost your memory?

- My memory.

- This is a dream.

- It is I.

Jessie, your true love.

- You're real?

- Of course I am.

You're beginning to frighten me.

When was the last time

we saw each other?

I mean, before our little swim today.

Just a few minutes ago, on the bridge.

- What bridge?

- The one near the castle.

We were on our way to be married.

Don't you remember

the soldiers and the sorcerer?

The legend is true.

What legend?

That sorcerer guy, he put a curse on you.

You've been frozen for 1,000 years.

- Oh, my Prince William, always joking.

- Yeah.

I'm not kidding.

This is the 20th century.

- 20th?

- Yeah.

Look.

Bet you've never seen one of these before.

Sure I have. Those are jesters' shoes.

Jesters' shoes.

- Hey, how about one of these?

- No, I'm not sure.

Oh, I guess she is real.

- Anything?

- Nothing.

The Count will have us

tarred and feathered.

Yes. Then he will torture us.

Hi.

No, no, no, no. Just lie still for a minute.

Are you okay?

I love you.

I'm Jason Williamson of Germantown, PA.

- I'm not a prince.

- I don't care. I still love you.

- I think you're still in shock.

- Forever and ever and ever.
