And whatever crimes

l commit against you, remember:

l have diplomatic immunity

in 46 countries.

lncluding Puerto Rico.

Sir, you will find that the word ''fear''

is not in my vocabulary.

Perhaps.

But it's in your eyes.

You forgot something.

- Au revoir, Pierre, et merci beaucoup.

- Trs bien, Majest.

Nicholas, l...

l want to ask you a question.

Of course, Your Majesty.

Why are you so against

Princess Mia being queen?

Well, my uncle feels that

Princess Mia doesn't know the people.

And you feel you do know the people?

Yes. l was born here,

l went to primary school here.

l am a true Genovian.

Mia didn't even know

she was Genovian until high school,

and to be frank,

she's spent little time here since then.

Well, l happen to feel

that she'll make a great ruler.

She's terribly bright, sensitive, caring.

- l know that.

- You do?

Yes. Yes, l do. But...

How can one rule the people

if they do not know the people?

Touch. That's a very good question.

(? ''Sempre Libera'' by Verdi)

Opera's new rising star, Anna Netrebko.

Looks good enough to eat.

How are your grandchildren,

Lily, Charlotte and Sam?

They're wonderful.

Thank you for remembering.

How are you? Good to see you.

How's your dachshund? Maury, right?

He is great.

You remember him from last summer?

(speaks Croatian)

Mia's doing well.

Some major mingling, l see.

A little higher, Olivia.

(woman) Mia.

- Did you happen to see who's here?

- Who?

The king wannabe with Lady Elissa.

Oh.

ls she his... girlfriend?

Nicholas doesn't have girlfriends,

he has dates.

But attractive ones.

- You talk to him much?

- Uh...

We acknowledge each other.

- Andrew?

- Yes, dear. Coming.

Yuck.

- Well, the camera's all ready to go, so...

- All right.

Let's go this way.

No more straggling for me.

- You did very well, Mia. Very charming.

- Oh, thank you.

- Wait, wait, wait. The light is perfect.

- What?

- Just one more, please.

- Please, no more pictures.

- Come on, please. One more.

- lt's very flattering, but...

Mia, one more picture...

Ah.

Hello. l'm Andrew Jacoby.

- Oh, hello. Lady Elissa.

- Pleasure.

- Lady Elissa.

- Your Highness.

Hello.

Elissa and l were just discussing

her latest achievement.

- She's received a Rhodes Scholarship.

- Nicholas, please.

Why not brag? You're an amazing woman.

Elissa, congratulations. You know, Andrew

has a PhD in anthropology from Oxford.

- Oh, really? That's wonderful.

- Fantastic.

- Elissa was in the Peace Corps.

- Really?

Andrew spent four months in Papua New

Guinea studying the bark of a yam tree.

- Elissa single-handedly...

- Andrew...

Elissa is actually trying to say something.

Yes, Lady Elissa?

Andrew, would you like to get a drink?

l have a feeling they're going to start

a ''My horse is bigger than your horse'' run.

l would absolutely love to. Excuse us.

You know, her horse actually is very huge.

- Oh, really?

- Yes...

- Fantastic party.

- lt is.

- You two make such a lovely couple.

- We do. Thanks.

- lt's a shame you're not attracted to him.

- l know, it...

You... l... Come back here.

(? ''Miracles Can Happen'' by Jonny Blu)

Ladies and gentlemen,

a special treat for our friends from Asia.

Jonny Blu.

(sings in Mandarin)

Come back here. You... you can't just

say something like that and walk away.

l will have you know

that l am very attracted to Andrew.

Well, obviously.

l am. He's... We are perfect for each other.

- He understands me...

- Understands you? Wow. What passion.

l didn't hear you mention love.

- You are so jealous.

- Why would l be jealous of Andrew?

He's got to spend

the rest of his life married to you.

l loathe you.

(gasps)

- l loathe you.

- l loathed you first.

Wait. What are you doing?

What is wrong with you?

You can't just go around kissing people.

- Particularly not engaged people.

- You enjoyed it.

- You want to kiss again?

- Well, l...

No! Stop trying to confuse me.

What's confusing about a kiss?

You're just trying to make me like you

so that l won't want to marry Andrew

and so that you can have the crown. Oh!

Well, maybe l am, and...

maybe l just like kissing you.

You... You stay away from me.

Mia...

You know what?

l have an idea. l have a brilliant idea.

Why don't you go underwater

and l'll count to a million?

Mia, careful... Mia.

Do l want to know?

l don't think so.

l'll be two seconds, Mia.

She's going to be a handful, isn't she?

You'll never be bored, Andrew.

Yes.

- Olivia, enough goodbyes.

- Yes, ma'am.

- Eagle is leaving! Eagle is leaving!

- ln hushed tones, Lionel.

Hushed tones.

( Clarisse) When are you going

to start acting responsibly?

Hiding in a closet

with a man who is not your betrothed?

Coming out of a fountain dripping wet with

the same man, who is not your betrothed?

Do you think l plan

for this kind of stuff to happen?

l lost it. Sometimes you just lose it.

You can't afford to lose it. Other people

lose it. We're supposed to find it.

People look up to us, and we're

held to higher standards of behavior.

Can you try to grasp that concept?

The concept is grasped.

The execution is a little elusive.

Oh, l would say so.

Try to get some sleep. You'll want

to look fresh for the parade tomorrow.

Good night.

Good night, Grandmother.

(mutters and grumbles)

Well, Maurice, it's just you and l.

Or are you upset with me too?

(shouts) Royal Guard of Genovia, fall in.

Big parade day.

ldentify, Mustang personnel.

Why do you talk like that?

l'm Captain Kip Kelly of the Royal Guard.

What if we all talked like that?

(shouts) Lilly Moscovitz, best friend

of Princess Mia, riding in the 'Stang.

That was very nicely done, Miss Lilly.

- lt's a pleasure to meet you.

- Hi.

The prettiest girl is riding in the 'Stang.

- Flag?

- Thank you.

Flag? Welcome.

Welcome, Viscount Mabrey.

May l offer you a flag?

Thank you, l am not a waving aficionado.

But l will wave our national flag

when a true Genovian king

once again sits on the throne.

King Nicholas.

Flag?

How do you feel today, my dear?

Honestly, Joe, not that great.

Well, would you feel better

if you called me Joey?

- No, Joe.

- Good.

- Come on, Joseph. We're already late.

- Her Majesty is ready.

Can't keep the people

of Genovia waiting any longer.

Happy lndependence Day, Genovia!

Here we are in Pyrus, capital of Genovia,

for the big annual parade.

Here they come.

(crowd sings Genovian national anthem)

(Elsie) There's Prime Minister Motaz,

strutting his stuff.

? Genovia, Genovia

(Elsie) People are coming

from all over Genovia.

Here's the Mertz Marching Band,

led by Lucy Carmichael.

And now, of course,

the Libbet's folk dancers.

Also known as the ''Leapers of Libbet.''

And now the queen, with Princess Mia.

(boy) Na-na, l don't like your braids.

(boy #2) Hey, thumb-sucker.

Stop the carriage.

What... what's going on? Mia?

- She's stopped the parade.

- How rude.

(Elsie) Uh-oh.

What's the princess going to do now?
