The Prince & Me II: The Royal Wedding Page #4

---

It's not easy facing

that kind of pressure.

Right. Sonnets, you say.

O me!

What eyes hath love put in my head

Which have no correspondence

With true sight

Or if they have

Where is my Judgment fled

That censures falsely

What they see aright?

It's beautiful.

It's gibberish.

I have no idea what he's saying.

Well, he's saying

that love is magical,

and that it makes people look

at each other in an unspoiled way,

without judgment.

Why doesn't he just say that?

Why can't people just say

what they mean?

Well, people rarely say

what they mean.

That's the interesting part, is...

is what's going on

underneath the surface.

See, take line 12.

The sun itself sees not

Till heaven clears

What does that mean to you?

That the sun can't shine

when it's cloudy.

No. You're being too literal.

See, don't just go for the obvious.

See, all these words,

they have multiple meanings,

and you have

to explore the possibilities

and then make your choice.

See, like the word "sun",

that could mean the actual sun,

or it can mean light.

But then "light" can mean

knowledge or reason.

That could go on forever.

Yes. Yes, it could.

But I think in this case

it means reason.

And then "heaven" may refer

to the pearly gates,

or it could mean a state of being,

you know,

Like being happy or in love.

So now read it again,

taking in all the possibilities,

and tell me what you think it means.

The sun itself sees not

Till heaven clears

I guess it means

that love blinds you.

And when you're in love,

you can't think reasonably.

Do you agree?

Yeah.

I mean, it's just a poem.

Yeah. Yeah, it's just a poem.

Are you worried

a union work stoppage

will throw the country

into a recession?

That's something

we're striving to avoid.

- Mr. Prime Minister.

- Do you think being part of the EU

has been good for Denmark?

The United States of Europe

is a question of being strong together.

It's another boring photo opportunity

of an old guy walking down a carpet

answering the same questions

he answered last week.

- Where's Edvard?

- Now, you see,

he was always good for a big disaster

every few months or so.

I've got to find him.

Eddie. Hey.

Look.

It's my Shakespeare midterm.

A-minus.

That's brilliant.

That's really, really good.

- Well done.

- Thank you.

- Thank you, really, for helping me.

- It's OK.

I did even better on my chemistry.

It's good. That's really good.

- How'd you do?

- How did I do?

A minus...

- ...three grades.

- D-minus.

- Yes, but it doesn't matter.

- Sure it does. You can do better.

I know you can.

And give up a brilliant career

in the food-service industry?

Hey, Eddie, do you have any plans

for Thanksgiving?

No, no. I'll be here.

Have a good vacation.

Yes, you too.

I can't believe you.

I can't believe you, Paige.

You should've invited him

home with you.

What? No. That would be so weird.

Well, then you won't mind if I invite

him back to Milwaukee with me?

No. No, of course not.

Why would I mind?

I don't know.

Hey, Eddie, since you don't

have any other plans,

I was wondering if...

You wanted to spend Thanksgiving

with me and my family?

Yes, that'd be nice.

- Thank you.

- Sure.

I think I probably

should come with you, sir.

Oh, no, not this time.

The thing is, you see,

you'll be on your own.

- Yes, and I'll manage.

- All right. Later, dudes.

Actually, sir, it's my duty

to look out for you at all times.

- Soren, I'll be fine.

- With respect, sir,

- that's not for you to decide.

- Soren, yes, it is for me to decide.

What am I going to do here

for five days?

I don't know. Just sight see, relax.

Soren, you'll be fine, OK?

- I'll pick you up Monday.

- Thanks again.

- Thank you.

- Hey.

Hiya, sweetie.

Oh, it's good to have you home.

- Hi, Dad.

- Hi, kiddo.

This is Eddie.

Eddie, this is my mom and dad.

Oh, we're so glad

that you could join us.

The only college friends of Paige's

we've ever met, they've all been girls.

- Thank you. I'm glad to be invited.

- Hi, I'm Ben Morgan.

Ben, hello.

Hey, hey, Doc Paige.

Farmer John Sausage.

- Hey.

- Hey. Oh, Mike, you look great.

Oh, well, you know, Kayla's got me

on Slim-Fast, so I lost 15.

And he put five of it back on today

at Rocky Rococo's.

Boys.

Who's this guy?

This is Eddie. Eddie's an exchange

student from Denmark.

- He's just a friend.

- Hello.

- Welcome to our home.

- Thank you.

Mike, he speaks better English

than you do.

Yeah, anyway...

Pops, we'll see you in the morning.

Hey, we're watching you, Frenchy.

Come on into the house.

- You can ignore the moron twins.

- OK.

This is it.

- Oh, you can put them right here.

- Right.

Thanks.

What are all the pins for?

The few red ones

are where I've been,

and all the green ones

are where I want to go.

Ecuador, El Salvador.

They're not exactly

tourist destinations, are they?

No, but they're all the places

that Doctors Without Borders

brings good medical care

and vaccinations

and clean drinking water. What?

Nothing.

I just really never met someone

who makes me feel so intimidated.

And believe me, I've met my fair share

of intimidating people.

I'm not intimidating. Look at me.

Yes, well, you see,

that's pretty intimidating, as well.

Well, I'm not the only one with goals.

What do you want to do?

I don't really have any choice.

I have to take over the family business.

- No choice at all?

- No.

Careful, you're crushing Gus.

Oh, Gus.

Yes, Gus.

He's a very good watch-moose.

Not once was I attacked

by a monster under my bed

or something scary in the closet.

Isn't that right, Gus?

Yes, that's right.

Hello, Gus. Nice to meet you.

Very pleased to meet you, as well.

- I like you like this.

- Like what?

Don't know. Just like this.

Just Paige.

All right, Eddie, we got John's room

made up for you.

It's just down the hall

across from our room.

- We sleep with the door open.

- Thanks, Dad.

So, Eddie, would you like to see

how things work around here?

Maybe help us out tomorrow?

No, no, I don't think that's

such a good idea.

- Oh, why not?

- Yes, why not?

OK. You know what?

Go ahead and help out.

I'm gonna enjoy this.

Come on, let's get you settled in.

Stop. Stop.

This one nearly hit me.

Haven't seen too many tractors, huh?

Nicely done with the milking.

Yeah, I think you got a new best friend

in Bessy.

- Hey, should we get some dinner?

- What are those?

- They're lawn mowers.

- Lawn mowers. Really?

Yeah.

Hey, hey.

Actually, we race these.

It's a huge sport around here.

Really?

- Yeah.

- Do you mind if I have a look?

No, be our guest.

Take a look at this one.

This is my baby.

Right.

- I just put a new flywheel in there.

- Yes, I see.

You know, no matter how dirty

he races, there's no way

we're letting Keith Kopetsky

take the trophy again this year.

- How fast do these things go?

- Well, we clocked it at 52.

I can make it faster.

- Yeah.

- OK. Come on. Let's go.

- What?

- That's good.
