The Swan Princess: Royally Undercover Page #4

---

Do I trust Count Antonio?

Yes, Your Highness.

May I ask why you have traveled so far

to have this question answered?

It looks like my grand-mom

is falling in love with him.

Ah.

And you don't want you grand-mom

to get her heart broken.

Is that it?

Yes, Your Highness.

Ho, ho, ho! Wonderful.

Aren't they wonderful children, Nicollo?

Indeed, Your Highness.

Here's your answer.

There isn't a man more honest

and true than Count Antonio.

And, heh, heh, he'll make

a most wonderful grandpa.

Oh, thank you, Your Highness.

Now you must promise to return

this evening for dinner.

Right, Nicollo?

But of course.

How can we repay your kindness?

If you can find my darn cat,

that would be wonderful.

I sure hope you find my cat.

Well, I didn't know Jasper was missing.

If you find him, bring him to me.

We will.

Count Antonio is honest

and true, is he not?

I could never believe

anything else. It's Antonio.

A thousand times yes, Your Highness.

Good. Good.

So if Antonio's a good guy,

how come there's no record of his ships?

I don't know.

Bad bookkeeping?

[GASPS]

It's Jasper.

Here kitty, kitty.

- Puffin.

- Shh!

What are you doing with the king's cat?

He's gonna help us gather intel.

No, Puffin.

Antonio's a good guy.

Rogers was wrong.

Ha!

- I mean, pasheesh, heh, it's hot.

- All right now,

if you've got something

other than a fur ball,

it's time to cough it up.

I can tell you where to get answers,

but I cannot go with you.

(MAN) Ha-ha-ha. Sort them out, boys.

Sort them out.

Mackerel this way. Cod that.

Sort them out now.

Mmm...

[GASPS]

[WHIMPERS]

Just a little taste.

You'll give us away.

So, what's the big deal?

All they do here is sort fish.

(CARLO) Antonio has done it again, boys.

Ha-ha-ha.

Sort them out, boys.

Sort them out.

How'd he steal all this

from some tiny island?

(CARLO)

Because he's the sly-est thief alive.

Just imagine what he's gonna get

from that Queen Ubeka.

Yeah, he'll be coming back

with all her gold any day.

Then that's it, boys.

Speaking of which...

Hey, you gonna have that ready

by the time Antonio comes back?

I don't know.

His plans are crazy.

Figure it out. That thing's

the getaway, you know?

I know, I know.

(MAN) Hey, get him.

I want his tail.

[GASPS]

Spies!

[GRUNTING]

We've got a special place for spies.

Ha-ha-ha! Enjoy your new home.

Antonio's gonna break Grand-moms heart

and take every penny she's

collected for those poor people.

[ALISE SIGHS]

[FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING]

Ah! We hoped it was you.

Thank you. We're starved.

Oh, I thought you might be.

[BOTH SIGH THEN YELL]

(NICOLLO) When I heard that

you were here, I thought to myself,

"Those poor children.

"They stuck their noses in

where they should not have."

You're one of them?

If only you hadn't interfered.

But now, well,

now you'll never leave this place.

What? You're a traitor!

[LAUGHS]

Antonio and I have a deal.

I manage the king, and then,

when Antonio comes back,

I get your grand-moms gold.

You've got my grandfather's sword.

Do I?

Thanks to Count Antonio,

I've got a lot of things

that don't belong to me.

Hope you enjoy your stay here.

[RATS SQUEAKING]

(NUMBER 9) Rats! Ugh!

Each one is like

a little disease dispenser.

Hello there. I think we found

something you could use.

Oh, yes. Thank you.

Try this.

[CAROUSEL MUSIC PLAYS]

Which bow tie is this?

Whoa-tie.

What's that supposed to mean?

(BOTH) Whoa!

What? Where'd they go?

The kids have escaped!

There they are.

[YELLING THEN GRUNTING]

Just stick with spy boy.

Here they are.

Over there.

(MAN) Ah! How'd she do that?

I've got your back.

(MAN) Ha! Over there.

Get them!

You're going back to your cell.

Told you you wouldn't get away.

[MEN GASPING]

What are you waiting for?

I don't know what it does.

Who cares?

Maybe it just turns into pancakes.

Why would it do that?

There's one made out of cookie dough.

[GRUNTING]

Ha, ha! See you, guys.

(CARLO) Spread out. Make sure

they don't get out of this city.

No, don't worry.

Number 9 knows how to sneak us out.

And then maybe you've paid

your debt to society.

Oh, sweet freedom.

Let's go.

Wait.

First, take us to the castle.

Huh?

I'm not leaving

without my grandpa's sword.

Oh, help me out, boy.

They're as thick as flies out there.

We've gotta go now

if we're gonna stop Antonio.

We'll find a way through.

Let's go get the sword.

Ah!

Antonio's ready to propose.

But it's not finished.

What's not?

[BOTH GASPING]

(ROGERS) Quick, help me dry it.

Uh-huh.

[BLOWING]

[PANTING]

I don't see a way through.

I do.

[GRUNTS]

[GASPS]

Oh... Ah!

[GRUNTS]

[POTS CRASH]

[YELLS]

Ha! Ha!

[GRUNTING]

Hey!

Ya!

[POTS CRASH]

Ha, ha! Oof!

[ALL GRUNT]

[GASPING]

[GROANING]

You're not slippery enough

to get out of this one.

You got a move?

Working on it.

[SIGHS]

Sir, I found the king's cat.

Wonderful.

Bring him over, princess.

I was about to do the same thing.

[BLOWS RASPBERRY]

(NICOLLO)

The children send their regrets.

But they decided to return home.

Oh!

Jasper.

Oh! Thank you, young princess.

Poor boy. What happened to you?

We shall leave you alone, Your Highness.

And I'll make sure

the children get their reward.

Nothing of the sort. I want

to reward them personally.

Whatever they desire.

Name it, child.

It's hard to ask for,

but I noticed that

the good Marquis Nicollo

carries a certain sword.

It once belonged to my

grandfather, King William.

How did...

My grandfather must have lost it

in battle.

And somehow, over the years,

and quite by accident, I'm sure,

it ended up here.

Your Highness, I...

[GASPS]

[GASPS]

[GRUNTS]

Is there anything else I can do?

I'd love for you

to give us a tour of the harbor.

[LAUGHS]

What?

Especially where they sort

and separate the fish.

Does that truly interest you?

Oh, very much.

I'll call for the carriage.

No need, Your Highness.

I'll take the children.

You're far too busy.

But... Hey!

But... Hey!

- (LUCAS) Wait!

- Oh, it's no trouble.

Let go.

Let go.

Ow!

[GROWLS]

[COUGHING]

(PUFFIN) Follow me.

This'll take us out of the city.

(MAN) Hey, come on.

(NICOLLO) You let the children escape?

(CARLOS)

Well, they're not normal kids, Nicollo.

(NICOLLO) Find them or else!

Oh, yes, Antonio...

Precious Flower is busy.

Repeat. Precious Flower is busy.

If not a little crazy.

(ROGERS) Good work, Bob! Jean-Bob.

Skunk Breath approaches.

My dearest Uberta...

Ow!

[ROGERS AS UBERTA]

You're late!

I, uh... I'm so sorry, dearest.

What's wrong?

Ugh! It's your breath!

I didn't know.

Well, now you do.

That's why I want you

to leave my kingdom today.

But dearest.

Don't cry, Uberta.

All will be made well

when we are married.

I can't marry you!

But, darling, why?

Because I have leprosy.

Ow!

You're going to wish you had leprosy

when I get through with you.

He's up to something horrible,

Uberta. I know it.

Like what? Caring for the poor?

Looking like a Greek god?

I don't believe it!
