The Prince & Me II: The Royal Wedding Page #7

---

- Do you hear me?

- Yes, sir.

Now, about your young lady.

If you say you love her

as you do,

and you believe she will make

you happy, then marry her.

Haraald, you can't mean that.

Maybe this is not a good time

to discuss...

No, it's a perfect time.

It is at the end of a man's life

when he realizes

how important his decisions

were at the beginning.

And in 1502, King Gustav IV fell,

hit his head on a rock,

had his famous moment

of enlightenment. Claimed he saw God

at the bottom of this lake.

He went charging off through

the castle to tell everyone.

Unfortunately,

he was carrying a torch.

Curtains caught fire,

burnt down half the palace.

Thus, observe the new wing.

He takes great pleasure

in twisting my ancestors' history.

Today has been the most

incredible day of my life.

Come with me.

I have something important

to tell you.

Yeah?

The reason I had to come back...

is because my father has

decided to pass the crown to me.

So you're gonna be king.

Yes.

I love you so much.

And I know the sacrifices

you would have to make.

What are you doing?

Paige Morgan,

will you marry me?

Yes.

Oh, good morning.

- Good morning, ma'am.

- Good morning.

- Coffee?

- Oh, I can get it myself

if you show me

where the kitchen is.

Or a Starbucks?

- Grande decaf nonfat latte.

- Yes, ma'am.

Congratulations!

You and Edvard getting married!

It's so romantic!

- You must be Arabella.

- Call me Ari.

Isn't it wonderful?

We're going to be sisters.

More hugging?

- Whatever will we do with you?

- Thank you.

Well, then, I thought we might run

through your schedule for the day.

I have a schedule?

As of this morning you do.

Come on.

At 9:
00, you have a groundbreaking

with Edvard.

Also attending

will be Countess Yungen.

Remember, if you're facing her,

the good eye is the left one.

At 10:
15,

there's a photo opportunity.

Holding hands with Edvard

on the royal yacht.

Opening of a Miro exhibit

at the museum at noon.

12:
40 is when you can

call your parents.

Yes, a 1:
00 luncheon

with the queen.

Deep breaths.

You'll get through this

in spectacular fashion.

After all, that's what the people

expect of our future queen.

Oh, my God.

What?

Queen.

I mean, I knew it worked that way, but

I hadn't really thought about it like that.

Do you think that people are gonna

mind if I'm gonna be their queen

- and all I've seen is the airport?

- No.

Anna.

Do you a have dress

for Eddie's coronation ball yet?

- No.

- You may come in now.

This is Margueritte.

She can design anything you like.

Chanel, Dior, Armani, Prada.

- It's very nice to meet you.

- Turn.

Excuse me?

Turn.

Come, ladies.

Long torso.

Good figure.

Terrible American posture.

I don't work with hunchbacks.

- When is the wedding, Miss Morgan?

- Good morning.

When these plants are completed,

Denmark will lead

the European community

in vegetable oil

and specialty fat production.

Farm girl.

So where do the future king and queen

go on their honeymoon?

I was thinking Morocco.

It's really hard

to organize security there.

Oh, right, OK.

What about Spain?

Yes, Spain is good.

I'm sure King Juan Carlos won't

mind lending us his private island

for a few weeks in the summer.

I swear.

Well, it's hanging well in the front.

Is this part supposed to be loose?

- She doesn't speak.

- At all?

To you.

Well, is this part

supposed to be loose?

Well, it has been worn that way

for the past 200 years.

The opening of this new wing of the

Dangard Pediatric Hospital illustrates...

- Where's Paige?

- I don't know.

Our country's commitment

to improving healthcare

for all of our people...

There she is.

I was just being nice to some kids.

Which every paper

felt compelled to report.

Well, what's wrong with that?

That you did it in a new,

state-of-the-art, government-funded,

billion-kroner hospital,

which suddenly all these newspapers

have no interest in mentioning.

We had an opportunity

on the eve of a national strike,

to show the people what their

healthcare system can do for them.

Instead, all they know

is that you are nice to children.

I'm sorry. I'm trying.

It's gonna take me a while

to get the hang of things.

Being royal is not like

being famous or being rich.

It is something much, much more.

It is a way of being that can

only be learned from birth.

It is an embodiment

which requires you to sacrifice

who you are for who you must be.

Well, I'm Paige Morgan

from Manitowoc, Wisconsin.

Paige Morgan can no longer exist.

She is gone.

You are now

the future queen of Denmark...

plain and simple.

Excuse me, Your Majesty.

Your Royal Highness,

it's time to leave.

All right. Thank you, Soren.

His Royal Highness,

the crown prince.

- Royal Highness.

- Prime minister.

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

In the interest of expedience,

I've asked the lead negotiator

for the national unions

and the lead negotiator for our nation's

corporate interests to join us.

Good morning.

- I'm very pleased to meet you.

- Nice to meet you again.

Your Royal Highness.

I know your exposure to these

proceedings has been rather limited...

Mr. Anderson, I'm well aware

of the traditions and the protocols

of this chamber,

and while I respect them,

we only have six hours

before all hell breaks loose.

So don't you think the time

for gamesmanship has passed?

- Yes, sir.

- Then we are in agreement.

Please be seated.

And get comfortable

because we're not leaving here

until this is solved.

And where will this

additional money come from?

Well, perhaps management

will tighten their belts.

- Our belts?

- Yes! It might do you some good

- to go without.

- These are businesses, not charities.

If we can't come to

a resolution about wages,

perhaps we can discuss

concessions on benefits.

- No concessions!

- You take and take

- and will give nothing in return!

- You are impossible!

Gentlemen, please. Let's remember

this is not about us.

You know, when I was in America,

I spent some time

with Paige's family on her farm.

And they explained

something to me.

That we are all interdependent.

So we had better start caring

for our opposition

as much as we do for ourselves.

I wonder if anyone on this table knows

what it's like to work for a tiny wage.

And then to see that wage get

sliced up even further by taxes.

Now, I can tell you from experience,

it can be a mighty struggle.

But then I suspect it would be

substantially more difficult

to see your job...

and your benefits

disappear altogether.

Now, at the moment,

we are six percent apart. Correct?

Now, if the goal is to let

the workers keep more

without damaging the corporation,

then perhaps there's

a third path to consider.

He was brilliant. He got the unions

to lower their demands,

the corporations to raise their offer,

and Parliament to cut the workers'

wage tax to make up the difference.

Now, that's impressive.

OK, about the dress.

Am I supposed
