The Princess Diaries Page #7

- Mia, Mia...

I'm sorry, I can't talk.

I've got to get my clothes.

We've got your clothes.

You'll be a lot warmer.

- You guys want to help me?

- Yeah, Josh is such an idiot.

We'll make sure no one bothers you.

Thank you, that's really nice of you.

That's so great of you.

Thank you so much.

- Everything's fine.

- Is anybody coming?

No.

I really appreciate this.

She's got her bathing suit off.

Now.

That was the scream of Princess Mia.

Go away. All of you, please!

Come here, Mia.

Piranhas, all of you. Back off!

My mom always told me

I couldn't cry and to be a big girl.

You've been hurt, so you just cry.

It was really bad.

My foot didn't even pop.

It was just last night

that San Francisco's own little princess

partied at the beach.

But what started out as innocent fun,

soon turned into

allegedly too much fun.

This is Suki Sanchez for KPFW.

- Please say something.

- There's not much to say.

A picture's worth a thousand words.

And you have two pictures.

I really embarrassed the family,

didn't I?

Not to put too fine a point on it,

yes, you did.

I think you're making a wise decision

to abstain from the job.

I suppose I won't come

to the ball, then.

Of course you should come.

You're still family.

Just because you don't want to be

princess, doesn't mean you're in exile.

Your mother's planning to come.

All your guests are invited.

Except for your beach friends.

If you'll excuse me,

I'm meeting with the press in an hour

to do damage control.

You can come in now.

If I may say so,

that did not go very well.

Is this the way a princess should act?

My information tells me

that boy was using her.

The kiss was merely a device

so he'd get his 15 minutes of fame.

Her friends didn't help, either.

Anna, Falana, Banana, Bandana...

I have no idea

what you're talking about.

Why didn't she have enough

common sense to deal with this?

She's only 15.

Today she acted beyond her years.

She showed great respect

and gracefully accepted your criticism.

You're saying that as a queen,

I was too harsh on her.

I was critical of the person who could

become the next ruler of my country.

I'm saying as a grandmother,

you might have been too harsh

on your granddaughter.

- Do you think she can do it?

- I have no doubts.

I thought so, too.

It's Mia Thermopo-lips.

Can you autograph

your picture for me? Josh did.

There's Princess Pucker Up.

Lilly?

Can I talk to you for a minute, please?

Can I just talk to you for a minute?

- Is that cool?

- Sure, let's talk.

About what?

How you broke my brother's heart?

How you stuck me with Jeremiah

during my show, doing pick a card?

I'm sorry. I forgot to call you

and tell you I couldn't make it.

So, I was stuck with Happy Houdini

while you're making out

with the yachting yahoo.

- Those are really good alliterations.

- I don't want to talk alliterations.

I came up here to tell you I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I missed your cable show,

and I'm just really sorry.

I can't believe you hung me up,

after all I did for you.

I kept your royal secret.

You know how hard it is

to have a show and keep a secret?

You didn't keep it a secret

how jerky you thought

my being a princess was.

Congratulations, you got your wish.

I'm not gonna be a princess.

- You're not?

- No.

But I want you to be.

What?

I didn't mean it.

The green monster of jealousy came out

because you were Miss Popular and

I thought I was losing my best friend,

so I got angry, upset and hurt.

I told you,

I need an attitude adjustment.

But the truth is, you being

a princess is kind of a miracle.

What miracle? It's a nightmare.

No. Think about it.

I just found out that my cable show

only reaches 12 people.

Wanting to rock the world but having

zip power like me, that's a nightmare.

But you, wow.

What is so wow?

Wow is having the power

to affect change.

Make people listen.

How many teenagers have that power?

What more of a miracle do you want?

We'll just have to

find a different miracle,

not more, just different.

Listen, tomorrow night is the

Genovian Independence Day Ball.

To make up for missing your cable show,

I'm inviting you.

I hope you'll forgive me.

And I hope you come.

What will I wear?

I don't know,

but it doesn't really matter.

- I'm just happy you're going to come.

- Thanks.

- And you can be a princess.

- No, I can't.

- Yes, you can.

- No, I can't.

- Move it in, let's go.

- Bobby Bad, hang up the phone.

Yes, Mom. I'll go

to the dentist after school.

I hate it when they move in like that.

It's not a championship game,

it's just gym class.

Just hit the ball.

I don't want to flunk you.

Come on, you can do it.

Keep your eye on the ball.

That's all right, that's OK

You're gonna hit it anyway

Go, Lions.

Come on. It's a ball, not a snake.

Back in formation.

Sorry.

Foul ball. It's all right.

It's OK, just focus.

Focus.

Come on, remember it's only a game.

Eye on the ball.

Would you rather hit a beach ball?

Order me a pizza, pepperoni.

Run, Mia!

I gotta go. Get up!

What are you doing?

All the way, Mia.

Hi, Josh.

Come on, girl.

Safe, and you passed.

Nice job. Way to go.

It's open, come on in.

Michael, how are you?

What?

Did Lilly tell you that I called?

Because I called.

- I brought your oar.

- Thank you.

Seven times I called.

If you have any problems,

Doc said to call.

OK.

Do you want the check now?

I have the last payment.

Yeah. Thank you.

Are you hungry or thirsty?

- No.

- Here it is.

Thank you for doing this for me.

It's really great of you.

I didn't do it for you.

Doc lets my band practice.

- Right.

- I help with the cars.

- Here.

- Thanks.

I know you're still mad at me

for blowing you off,

and I'm really sorry I did.

I'm going to try to make it up to you.

HOW?

I'm still going to the

Genovian Independence Day Ball

and I'm inviting you.

It could be fun.

I'm wearing this great dress

I can't breathe in.

- Lilly's got a date.

- Josh looks better in a tux.

But see, it's...

I really want you

to be the one I share it with.

You don't have to wear a tux.

You can wear sweatpants for all I care.

Don't worry about me.

I just consider myself royally flushed.

Stop the bovine massacre.

Sign up now and save a cow.

Vegetarians have rights.

Make Grove School more tofu friendly.

Go sit by Jeremiah,

I'll be there in a minute.

She's wearing that dorky hat again.

- You want to see a trick?

- Not right now.

What are you doing?

Are you writing a story or...

My portfolio's increased by 30 percent

since last quarter...

Look what we have,

the perfect nerd couple.

Jeremiah and Mia.

Miah and Mia.

Listen, my friends and I were wondering

was the sweater designed for you, or

did the knitting machine just blow up?

Sunglasses, girls.

It's Jeremiah hair glare.

Is one of your magic tricks your hair?

Lana.

That is such a cute cheerleading outfit,

it's so clean cut.

- I bet it goes with anything.

- Of course it does...
