The Swan Princess: Royally Undercover Page #5

---

You would never marry him!

This wedding is so on.

Uberta!

- Which way?

- I, uh...

(ALISE) We'll never make it in time.

Antonio's going to take it all.

How high can you fly?

You are looking at the holder

of the altitude record for puffins.

(ALISE) I can still see him.

Then he's gotta go a lot higher.

[LAUGHS]

Gotcha.

(LUCAS) Yes!

Now, we just got to hope Rogers

has some reason to look up at the sky.

Why?

Why?

[GASPS]

"Skinny Professor, are you there?"

Brilliant young man.

I'm here.

"Young Tree Climber." Yes!

"Check the treasury."

Check the treasury? Why?

"Don't ask why.

Just go." Oh!

[GASPS]

[GASPS]

"Everything gone.

Antonio on his way back to you.

Are you safe?"

Don't worry him. There's nothing

he or anyone can do for us.

You're right.

"Perfectly safe."

Oh, thank heavens.

Once Antonio gets here, that's it.

Nicollo's got his money.

He's gone.

We can't let him get away with this.

The getaway!

The getaway!

(DEREK) So Alise and Lucas

aren't at Trumbeau at all?

I'm so sorry, Derek.

I should've asked permission

before sending the children.

I was blind with jealousy.

Looks like we were blinded too.

(ODETTE) We should've listened to you.

But you're sure the children are safe?

Perfectly safe, they said.

Then I'm going after Antonio.

I'll stay here in case

they return or send word.

Wait.

You can't leave without

breaking the news to your mother.

Right.

Ugh! I don't envy you.

Whatever that thing is,

we're gonna use it before Nicollo does.

(MAN 1) Hey, come on!

Nicollo said get this thing ready to go!

(MAN 2) Still don't get this thing.

What's not to get?

It's a submarine.

Nicollo's going to take it out

to meet Antonio,

get his money and sail away.

Get his money underwater?

No, brainless.

This hatch here

hooks up to the bottom

of Antonio's ship.

(MAN 3) Those kids escaped!

Oh, no!

Nicollo's gonna blame us!

(MAN 4) We'll never get

our cut of the treasure now!

Nicollo wouldn't do that, would he?

I'm not sticking around to find

out. I'm taking my cut now.

(MAN 1) Yeah, I'm gonna get mine too!

All we have to do is find

Antonio's ship.

And we'll make sure

Nicollo doesn't get the money.

We'll be all alone.

At least we'll be all alone together.

- (LUCAS) Stop! Put us down!

- (ALISE) Whoa!

What are you doing?

What's happening?

I thought you'd be gathering

more toys for the children.

Stop! You don't know

what Count Antonio is up to.

I assure you, I do.

Then how can you do this?

Because sometimes one makes a decision

that can never be changed.

No, Signor Bruno. Please!

I'll be back with Nicollo.

You can share your concerns with him.

- (LUCAS) Hey! Where are you going?

- (ALISE) Stop! Stop!

[LAUGHING]

Gold. Gold! Ha-ha-ha.

Sorry, Your Highness,

but you're coming with me.

Run, Jasper!

(NUMBER 9) Alise! Lucas!

Alise! Lucas!

Where did they go?

What's he doing back here?

That can't be good.

No way. I'm not letting that guy

help Nicollo.

[GRUNTING]

[HUMMING]

- Whoops!

- (BRUNO) Ooh!

Ha, ha! Anyone see that?

[YELLS THEN GRUNTS]

Always on my feet.

How do I do that?

[GASPS]

The sword?

The kids!

Mother, it'll be all right.

(ROGERS) Oh, I dread her reaction.

Men and women grieve

so differently, you know?

We'll get the money back.

Why?

Why?

Give it time, Uberta.

Time is the best remedy

for a broken heart.

It's true.

Time and revenge!

[GRUNTING]

Why can't you do it?

Do you see any fingers here?

Huh?

Going for a stroll, Your Highness?

Indeed.

Shall we go this way, Your Highness?

Well, when one end doesn't work,

try the other.

- (LUCAS) Claw it!

- Huh? What?

You got claws, don't you?

Ha!

Yeah, great idea.

I'll be done some time in November.

(LUCAS) No!

You have to pretend

that rope is Nicollo.

That rope ruined your comfy life!

That rope turned you from

a palace cat into an alley cat!

[YELLING]

(NICOLLO) Oh, it won't be long.

It's now or never.

Let's do it.

What?

(NICOLLO) Oh, yes. Antonio's

been hard at work for years.

It's only fair

that he becomes the new king.

We'll wait here for Antonio,

and then you and I are going on a trip.

Excuse me.

You do realize we're going down?

I'm working on it.

Whew! I like how you waited

until the last second. Not!

Starboard 20 degrees.

20 degrees starboard.

(LUCAS) They were right.

They're made to dock.

(ALISE) Okay. Let me try.

(LUCAS) Steady.

Steady.

Back down! Back down!

Oh. Okay.

Let's try it again.

(LUCAS) Steady.

Steady.

Bull's-eye!

Ha, ha. I bow to your

superior spy skills.

[GRUNTS]

Me-wow.

(ANTONIO) Ha-ha-ha.

Now you're the king's dogs.

Who's good with the tail?

[RAT SQUEAKS]

[SCREAMS]

[GROWLING AND BARKING]

[RATS SQUEAKING]

Look at them.

Nightmares with tails.

[GRUNTS]

[BARKING]

(ANTONIO) What's wrong, boys?

What's down there, huh?

Wait. Where's Number 9?

(NUMBER 9) Over here!

This way.

[BARKING CONTINUES]

Back up, boys. Let me open it.

Come on, Number 9!

[YELLS THEN STAMMERS]

[ANTONIO GRUNTS]

Rats! Aah!

Alise!

[DOGS BARKING]

(ANTONIO) After them, boys!

Go get those rats!

[LAUGHS THEN GASPS]

You little brat!

[NUMBER 9 MEOWS LOUDLY]

[GRUNTING]

Aah!

Lucas!

Go, Alise! Go!

No!

You must go.

Not so fast!

Go!

Lucas!

I'll deal with you later.

Now I know how you felt

when I disappeared years ago.

Are you safe?

Are you there?

These simple words

A mother's prayer

I reach for you,

And you're not there

I close my eyes,

And I still see you

All I ask

My humble plea

Is that you'll find your way

Home to me

Enjoy your gold

at the bottom of the sea!

I'll take care of him.

Be right back.

(UBERTA) Revenge!

Mother? Wow!

[GASPS]

You can leave me at the altar

a thousand times,

but no one messes with my granddaughter.

Watch me.

Next time, you're getting

the side with buttons.

Bring it, Pony Tony!

So you staged everything.

You're just getting that?

You're slow, Derek.

We'll see about that.

[GRUNTING]

(DEREK) So it was you who broke the dam!

Child's play.

Risky strategy.

Never doubted my ability.

You won our trust. You lied.

You mother was a fool!

Sic him!

Are you near?

Are you far?

The questions burn

Inside my heart

I would give all I have

To bring you home

To have you near me

All I ask

My humble plea

Is that

You'll find your way

Home to me

You stole money from desperate people.

Derek.

And tried to hurt everyone I love.

All right! All right! I confess all!

I submit to your will!

[PANTING]

(UBERTA) Wait!

Mother?

I never heard you say,

"Will you marry me?"

- Um...

- Say it.

[GULPS]

Will you marry me?

Not in a million years,

ha, ha, ha, you weasel!

[GASPING]

Let's find Alise.

Derek!

[GRUNTING THEN YELLS]

[LAUGHS]

You might have broken a lot more

than your leg, you know.

Better me than you, princess.

I bow to your superior spy skills.

[GASPS]

[GRUNTS]

[GASPS]

(KING) And so it ends.

You and Antonio are not the only

ones who can scheme and plan.

Ha, ha. You?

Yes.
