The Lizzie McGuire Movie Page #2

Synopsis: Teen queen Lizzie McGuire grows up a bit and hits the big screen in this comedy drama, based on the popular Disney Network series. Lizzie McGuire and her best friends Kate, Gordo, and Ethan have just graduated from middle school, and to celebrate, they're taking part in a class trip to Rome, Italy. Eager to celebrate their new maturity as high school students, Lizzie and her pals hope to live it up in one of Europe's most fabled cities, but fate has something more spectacular in store for Lizzie. Lizzie discovers that she bears a striking resemblance to Isabella, an Italian teen-pop idol famous for her duets with heart-throb Paolo -- so much so that when Paolo and Isabella have a falling out, he asks Lizzie to take Isabella's place for an upcoming concert. Lizzie, however, isn't sure she feels comfortable stepping into the spotlight, and is even less sure about the way she feels about Paolo, who makes no secret of his infatuation with her. Things don't get any simpler for Lizzie when h

Ah heh.

Yeah, and the best part is

Kate and all the little

teeth- whitening friends

who'd be ragging on me

for messing up graduation

went to Water-slide Wonderland.

How many Lizzies does it take

to screw in a light bulb?

I don't know, but it only takes

one to screw up a graduation.

Hey. Zip it.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Down each avenue or via,

street or strata

You can see 'em disappearing

two by two

On an evening in Roma

Do they take 'em

for espresso?

Yeah, I guess so

On each lover's arm,

a girl I wish I knew

On an evening in Roma

So please meet me

in the plaza near your casa

I am only one,

and that is one too few

On an evening in Roma

Don't know what

the country's coming to

But in Rome,

do as the Romans do

Will you?

- On an evening in Roma

Here we are.

Step right up.

Number one...

Number two...

Welcome to the Hotel Cambini.

Welcome to the Hotel Cambini.

Lest you think there are many

of you and less of me

and it will therefore be easy

to pull anything over on me,

think again.

In addition to being

smarter, faster,

and better-looking

than most of you,

I've also enlisted

a little help.

The assistant manager

of the hotel, Giorgio Averni,

was a commander

in the ltalian Navy

and is therefore

as up on his game as I am mine.

Giorgio, would you like

to brief my students

on the security procedures

of the hotel?

We serve at 5:
00.

The cookies.

Yeah.

You heard the man.

Room assignments.

David Gordon...

you will be rooming

with Ethan Craft.

You'll be in Room 103.

Are those English

or ltalian numbers?

You got a problem with that?

Um, no, ma'am.

Any room is just -

just fine for me.

Being a spineless jellyfish

is almost as unattractive

as being a little brownnoser.

McGuire!

Seeing as how Margaret Chan

was unable to make the trip,

you will be rooming with...

Okay, I am not,

under any circumstances,

sharing a room with -

I'll be taking the bed

by the window.

You don't mind, do you?

Uh, ye-e-e-e-s!

No.

I sleep much better

with the Swiss eiderdown.

Lizzie, seeing as we're roomies

and we're gonna be spending

time together,

I wanted to let you know

I understand

you want to put all that

embarrassing stuff behind you

and just move on

and have a fresh start.

You do?

Yes. I understand

your dream.

It's a big dream.

It's a huge dream,

and you can't do it alone.

In fact, I don't think

you can do it at all.

Let it go.

Lizzie, come on.

Whoa!

Gordo, what?

Don't worry.

Don't worry.

Where are we going?

Look.

Wow!

Pretty cool, huh?

You know what, Gordo?

I'm not gonna let

Kate Sanders get to me.

Promise me something.

Anything.

Promise that when we're here,

we'll find adventures.

All right? This is

our chance to start over.

I mean, do anything

that we want to do.

Yeah. I-I know.

You're right.

Hmm. You and me.

Adventures. Deal.

Deal.

The Trevi Fountain was designed

by Gian Lorenza Bernini

and Peitro da Cortona

in the 17th century.

And it took about 100 years

to finish this bad boy.

Throughout history, people have

come from all over the world

to make a wish and toss their

coin in the Trevi Fountain.

Those people are suckers.

You got to make your own luck

in this world.

All right, moving on, people.

Let's go.

Scusi,

Grazie.

Scusi, Grazie,

You know what?

Forget what she says.

Make a wish.

I'm in Rome

with my best friend.

I'm good.

You make one.

Okay.

Hmm.

Okay.

lsabella?

Huh?

Okay, I was wishing for smooth

sailing through high school,

but this will work.

Uh, I'm sorry.

It's just you look an awful lot

like a friend of mine.

Paolo, you have to get

to your photo shoot.

We got to go.

What you little halflings

are feeling right about now

is your energy flagging.

We got four more stops today.

I want you to

at least be able to shuffle

from monument to monument.

We got one word for that,

and it's gelato.

Keep in mind

that ltalian ice cream has

about twice the sugar

of American ice cream.

Means you're gonna want about

two scoops, huh?

I know I do.

All right.

I don't mean to bother you.

I'm Paolo.

Paolo Valisari.

Oh, um, I'm Lizzie McGuire,

and this is my friend Gordo.

This is my friend Sergei.

Sergei, doesn't she look

exactly like lsabella?

- lsabella!

- Paolo!

Um...

Paolo!

lsabella! Isabella!

Paolo! Paolo!

Ciao, Paolo!

Uh, hmm...

Wow! That really

does look like me.

Except for the hair,

you could be her twin.

Isabella is my singing partner,

and you're like her sister.

Like two pods in a pea.

Lizzie, can I see you again?

Maybe tomorrow?

Please?

What's the word for "yes"

in ltalian?

- Si,

Uh...

No, I'm -

It's okay.

I can cover for you.

Head check!

I'm sorry. I'm here

with my school, so I can't.

Forgive me

if I embarrassed you.

Some people,

when they come to Rome,

they want to find adventure.

Oh, it's okay.

I got some cool cheese.

Did you just say

"cool cheese"?

Wah!

Paolo...

We must go.

Uh, Lizzie,

if you change your mind,

I will meet you tomorrow morning

at the Trevi Fountain at 9:00.

Hey, Gordon, McGuire,

did you not hear me say

"head check"?

Who are you?

Paolo Valisari.

Put your money

in your front pockets.

She makes me very scared.

Join the club.

Lizzie...

Ci vediamo,

What does that mean?

We will see each other.

Hey.

This Paolo and lsabella CD

isn't so bad.

I mean, if you're into

the Alanis Morissette-y,

alternative, dark,

like, brooding,

I-never-go-out-

and-my-life's-a-black-hole-

of-depression kind of thing,

you'd think they stink.

For driving-around-in-the-car-

with- the-top- down,

Ioving-life kind of thing,

they're good.

Here. Listen.

You don't have to sail

the ocean

Yeah, not bad.

You use scented soap, huh?

What?

Um, it -

N-Never - never mind.

So, Paolo wants me to meet him

at the Trevi Fountain tomorrow.

So go.

That would mean I would have to

sneak away from the group.

So?

I'm incapable of sneaking.

Weren't you the one that said

we were gonna have adventures

on this trip?

Yeah. We. We were

going to have adventures.

And we will.

It just so happens that

you have dibs on the first one.

Okay.

Just as long

as we don't do anything

that would get us tossed

on a plane home.

Uh. Unh.

Lizzie, are -

are you feeling okay?

Is this girl sick,

or isn't she?

She doesn't have a fever,

and yet she's in bed.

Ask yourself why

a beautiful young girl

on her first visit

to Rome,

probably seeking adventure,

wants to lie in bed

all day.

She's ill.

I heard she fell down

at graduation,

made a complete fool

out of herself.

I saw that on CNN.

CNN?

Often, the nervous system

collapses

after that type of humiliation.

Hmm.

Do you have

any recommendations?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

This young woman

should stay in bed.

Uh, she - she should

also eat two apricots.

Oh, for digestion or...

No, they're in season.

Very delicious.

Feel better, Signorina McGuire.

You rest up, McGuire.

Don't want you to miss

all the adventures of Rome.
