Princess for a Day (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[music playing]

GIRL: Yummy.

PRINCESS ARIA:

[SINGING] There are some

who will seek out the silence.

From the hustle and bustle of day.

While others are busy who live in a city.

And never go out or to play.

But I have a solution.

And it doesn't cost a thing.

There's a world in your mind.

Think of all that you'll find.

And it's inside of you and in me.

Welcome to Arcadia.

Be whatever you want to be.

While you're in Arcadia.

Be a jet or a fish in the sea.

It's a magical space.

You can go any place if

you used your creativity.

Arcadia is in you and me.

Arcadia is in you and me.

Arcadia is in you and me.

LUCAS: Is it a properly assessed stock?

That is absurd.

So I recommend caution, Michael.

That zip tie around your neck can quickly

become a very expensive noose.

Good evening, Mr. Holt.

Good evening, Ms. Stacey.

Where's Bri?

It's after 4:00, sir.

Of course.

Thank you.

You could be whatever you

want, even an opera singer.

GIRL [ON TV]: I'll pretend to

be a puppy, with the wiggly

and squiggly tail.

BOY [ON TV]: I'll pretend to be a turtle,

with a big old roundish shell.

BOY [ON TV]: I'll pretend to be a spider...

GIRL [ON TV]: Spider?

JANET: Knock, knock.

Come in.

Oh, good.

You saw it.

You know, that old frame just

didn't do our Sara justice.

We found that one while we

were out shopping for our tr.

Oh, and I left the receipt with Claire.

So no rush to pay us back.

Just whenever you get a chance.

We found this frame for this old picture

we found in the scrapbook.

You don't need to pay

us back for that frame.

I mean, unless you want to.

It's on the same receipt.

So it might be easier.

But anyway, it's just our way to say

thank you for paying for another one

of our crazy little adventures.

[laughter]

Bri looks exactly like Sara in this photo.

Now I figured we should

give it to you before we leave

in case the plane goes down.

Walt, I told you not to talk about that.

If we talk about it,

it's not going to happen.

That makes absolutely no sense.

Have you said goodbye to Bri yet?

Oh, she was watching one of

her little Princess cartoons.

We didn't want to bother her.

Yeah, we're going to call her from Hawaii

and let her listen to a squeaking dolphin.

Hopefully, that'll cheer

her up and bring her out

of that depression she's in.

If it works, I'll build

an aquarium in the backyard

and buy a whole pod.

Couldn't they just live in the pool?

We will see you when we get back.

Right.

If the plane doesn't crash.

Walt.

Give me the projections

from last quarter.

Oh, sorry.

Let me call you back.

Bri.

Come here.

Bri, come here, love.

So tell me, what perilous adventures

did the Princess Aria faced in

the kingdom of Arcadia today?

All the forest animals

got taken by a mean ogre.

Oh?

Princess Aria saved

all her animal friends.

But that made Buggy really mad.

But he couldn't stop Princess

Aria because Princess

is really strong.

Of course, she is.

Oh, there you two are.

The wee one was supposed to

tell you that dinner is ready.

Needed my daily Princess Aria update.

Well, go run along now.

Wash up.

I'll talk to Claire, OK?

Be honest.

Has she made any improvement

in her mood at all?

Her mother's death affects

everyone differently.

To be honest, I feel as if

I've lost my wife and my chi.

There has to be something we can do.

I've tried everything

the therapist suggested.

Poor lass.

The only time I see a

glint of joy in her eyes

is when she's watching

that Princess Aria cartoon.

That's why I love my

daily Princess Aria update.

It's the only time Bri is herself.

Too bad we can't stick Bri in that cartoon.

Meaning Princess Aria might

be just the thing to snap

her out of her depression.

What if she could meet

the real life Princess Aria?

You've lost me.

So they have those companies

that hire out actors dressed

up as cartoon characters.

They're sure to have a

Princess Aria on staff.

Most certainly.

So her sixth birthday's coming up.

We invite all her little

chums to the house,

have a royal themed affair.

And just at the right

moment, Princess Aria

makes her grand entrance.

Brilliant.

If cartoon Princess Aria can lead her out

of the darkness a little,

perhaps the real life thing

could lead her the rest of the way.

[upbeat music]

[SINGING] Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Get up on your feet, this is a shakedown.

Order up that beat just like a stakeout.

Show me you got soul

inside those new shoes.

EMILIA: [indistinct yelling]

Whoa, OK.

Looks like someone is making

a deposit in the swear jar.

I didn't swear.

It wasn't a swear.

I was using a metaphor

creatively to express

intense pain and annoyance.

We'll start a new jar.

EMILIA: Look at this guy.

That's our culprit.

Hey, Ron, take a look at this.

I figured out your problem all by myself.

You did.

Oh.

Oh, boy.

Tourists.

Oh, be nice, dad.

They could have a flat tire.

You don't know.

CHUCK: Go see if you can

up charge him somehow.

No?

You're not going to get a signal out here.

Please tell me you're joking.

It's Cherry Creek.

Most people here still use rotary phones.

What's a rotary phone?

If you guys want to come to the office,

you can use a landline.

This way.

Where are y'all headed?

Slip lake.

Week long party.

You don't need a phone.

If you just want to head down

the same way you're going

for about five miles, you're going to hit

a giant lasagne sculpture.

Don't ask.

And then you're just going

to make a right, and then

a straight shot from there.

So...

Thanks.

I am happy to help.

Hey, you know, we

actually rented a bunch

of cabins up around the lake.

Maybe if you're free...

Thank you. Bye.

EMILIA: Bye.

I'm surprised you didn't go with them.

Ugh, sounds horrible.

Right, yeah.

I also meant because you

already have plans for tonight.

Do you think it's too late?

I think I could catch up with the tourists.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

You're going to love it.

You're going to have way

more fun at this party.

I've got balloon animals, confetti.

My favorite.

I'm not going to spoil everything.

We'll sing your favorite birthday songs.

Dad, no.

I told you, I don't want to sing.

I don't want you to sing.

OK, no singing.

I promise.

No singing.

[SINGING] Happy birthday, dear Emilia.

Happy birthday to you.

Wow.

Oh, man.

[chattering]

You are accustomed

'cause of 27.

Because I think it starts at like 27.

WOMAN: Yeah, yeah.

This is slightly different.

Hey!

Oh, my God!

Mindy, how are you?

You look so good.

It's so good to see you.

Is John here?

John is here.

He's here with Parker.

This is Parker.

Parker.

Oh, my God.

You're a mom?

Hello!

This is my Amelia.

She's so good.

MIKE: Betting with plastic chips.

Embarrassing.

Where's the real money?

Mike, I don't remember inviting you.

Poker is a man's game.

Put away the plastic and

get out your wallets.

We play for fun here, buddy.

Fun is free.

How about this

you refuse to sell me

that beast in your garage.

So give me a chance to win it off of you.

You're still trying to get your slimy hands

on Chuck's Camaro?

Yeah.

Monica bought him that car.

You think he'd risk losing

it to anyone, especially you?

I'd like to hear that from Chuck.

You've heard it many times.

I'll triple the last offer.

That's insane.

You could buy a house for that much.

I know what I want.

I got the money to get it.

Come on, Chuck.

You're telling me there

isn't something you want more

than a car you barely drive?

Hey!

Hey!

What?

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, you said I could get a turn.

What are you...

I can't believe he left me.

CHUCK: You know I'd never do that.

We need to talk.

If this was about the

garage, I have money saved up.

I would be happy to

help with the payments.

You didn't need to sell the bees, dad.

Something's been off.

I saw it the other day when you

were talking to them tourists.

And I saw it again the other

night when Mindy was here

with her husband and her baby.

When I had my heart

attack, you dropped

everything to come back here

and take care of me, right?

You left your work, life.

Well, now I feel like your

life has passed you by,

and it's my fault. I'm ashamed it's taken

me this long to say something.

It was my choice to come home, to work,

and help you with the garage.

That's on me.

Yeah, well, about that.

You're fired.

I'm sorry.

What?

Don't you worry, though.

I'm going to write you a

very nice reference letter.

You're seriously firing me?

Em, you are the most

important thing in my life.

All right?

Not my garage, not my car.

It's time for you to get back to your life.

Figure out what you want to do with it.

Besides, if your mom knew that it

was me standing between

you and happiness,

she would tan my hide.

She'd tan your hide if she found out you

sold the car she bought you.

That is true.

I'm a little scared.

You, scared?

A little.

Come on.

I don't believe it.

Besides, what did mom always say?

When life gives you a choice...

You always choose adventure.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's right.

[upbeat music]

Welcome to Sophia's.

Whose dream can we make come true?

My name is Lucas Holt.

I called yesterday.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I remember the cute accent.

My staff and I have been on the phone

with every princess

shop across the country.

And every Aria is booked up.

You think that you are

the only dad who's come down

here, shown his beautiful

face, and thought that that

would get him an Aria booking?

Look, trust me, I have

seen every kind of attempt.

I've had death threats,

my car got vandalized,

and somebody shaved my dog.

Yeah?

Heck, I've even had grown men in

here on their hands and knees,

crying and begging for me

to get them an Aria booking.

And I'm talking huge MMA

dudes who could flatten

a tank with a mean look.

Well, I'd be willing to bet that they

lack the one thing in these

situations that truly matters.

BOTH: Money.

Yeah.

I have had offers as high as...

[scoffs] That's ludicrous.

That's bordering insanity!

Yeah, I know.

I'll double it.

You don't get it.

These women who play

these princesses,

they don't do this for the money.

They do this to bring joy

into the lives of children.

And there are a whole lot of

children in this world right

now who need joy.

It's a valiant and noble cause.

Look, you seem like a sweet guy.

Maybe I can squeeze you in.

Are you serious?

How's six years from now?

Six years?

She'd be 12!

Sorry.

Thank you for trying.

I'm already here. Let's book it.

Great!

Thank you.

[phone vibrates]

Hey, dad.

No, I'm good, I'm good.

Yeah, everything's fine.

You make a better door than a window.

Beg your pardon.

You're blocking my light.

Oh, yes.

Apologies.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Has anyone ever told

you you look exactly...

Like Princess Aria.

It's as if Princess

Aria were based on you.

So I've been told many, many times.

My name is Lucas Holt, and

I have a proposition for you.

Aw, you're one of them.

Sorry, one of whom?

Ever since I moved here,

I've been called Princess

Aria about a million times.

I'm just going to fast

forward on this conversation.

No, I'm not going to go on a

date with you as Princess Ari.

And no, no, I'm not going

to pose for a photograph,

for a painting, or a life

sized jell-o sculpture.

Jell-o sculpture?

You'd be surprised how

often I get that one.

What I have in mind is nothing so crazy.

I would like to hire you to play

Princess Aria for my daughter's

birthday party.

I think I prefer the jell-o sculpture.

Please, just hear me...

I'm so sorry.

My pumpkin coach is coming at seven.

And if I don't get it now, I mean,

my wicked stepmother is

going to come after me.

LUCAS: Money.

EMILIA: Excuse me?

I have a lot of it.

Look at you, with all of your

money and your fancy accent

and all you've got going on here.

I bet you're used to

getting everything you want.

Is that somehow a bad thing?

In this case, it is.

How so?

This is going to be your

first taste of disappointment.

And you're really not going to like it.

You're right.

I don't like this.

EMILIA: I told you.

[chattering]

Hey, Chad.

What now, Princess?

Have you finished that water pump yet?

The water pump job that you begged me

to do because you're so busy?

I haven't.

I'm sorry.

I mean, I'm just really busy

because I'm doing my job,

and I'm also doing yours.

So...

So why are you whining,

instead of working?

Hey, Chad.

Your piece of crap car

is blocking my customer.

So?

So move it or I'll throw you in the back

and leave you both in the

junkyard where you belong!

What a jerk. Am I right?

Man.

I'm so sorry.

You're right.

I said I would do the job.

I should do it.

You know what?

Why don't you give me your keys?

For real?

Yeah, I'll just move

your car for you, man.

- I got you.

- Cool.

Yeah, of course.

All right, so the trick

is with this bolt is you

got to reach around.

Hey, where are you going?

I'm not done yet.

Whoa, oh, check it out, check it out.

Chad blocks a customer in.

So Emila is stealing his car.

Hottest mechanic and writer.

Tall, British, and stalker.

I'm not a stalker.

You're wearing your

work shirt at the park.

I simply googled the garage, called

in to see if you're working.

Found out your name is Emilia, not

Hayden, that your lunch break

oh, dear.

I am a stalker.

May I?

Sorry, I don't have

lunch with my stalkers.

Sends the wrong message.

Please, allow me to

explain how important this is

to my five-year-old daughter.

My lunch break is over.

I'm so sorry.

I really got to go.

Her mother died.

If that's some kind of line...

Cancer.

Eight months and four days ago.

And how was me dressing

up like Princess Aria

supposed to help?

The only time Bri is

happy is when she's watching

Princess Aria cartoons.

But maybe if she could

meet a real life Princess,

she, I don't know, might snap

her out of her depression.

Even if I wanted to, I

couldn't pull that off.

I didn't know who Princess

Aria was before I came here.

I don't even know who she is.

That's all right.

Bri's governess, Claire... she can instruct

you on all things Princess.

I can teach you the accent.

She has an accent?

And Claire, she'll walk

you through the poise

and etiquette, walking, laughing...

Yeah, no, I'm sorry. I can't do that.

- I can't help you.

- Don't forget about the mon.

I don't...

It'll be fun.

It won't be.

It doesn't sound like fun.

Any challenge of it.

The old saying... when life gives

you a choice, always choose...

Always choose adventure?

Look, I don't know if you're a parent.

But if you are, then you know

how important your child's

happiness is, including

and not limited to making

a fool of yourself and apparently

turning into a stalker.

Adventure, huh?

A grand one.

Do I have to wear a

giant poofy Princess dress?

What's one day of discomfort

compared to the chance

to change a little girl's life?

That is not fair.

OK, I'll do it, for your daughter.

But if there's anything

weird at all, I'm done.

On my honor, there'll

be no mention of jell-o.

[upbeat music]

LUCAS: You gave Robert

the address, yes?

CLAIRE: Of course.

He knows we're waiting.

Oh, they're are.

I'm right excited.

So what's this Emilia like?

Let me call you back.

What on Earth is Robert drinking?

Hi.

You must be Claire.

Pleasure to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

So wait, that's totally on me.

Bobby here, he has never tried a slushy.

So we had to stop and give him a slushy.

Who's Bobby?

Let's get started, shall we?

CLAIRE: Yes.

Follow me, miss.

Let's keep this away

from all the white dresses.

That's a good idea.

You want to take a sip,

try it, see if you like it?

- Lord.

- Just a little bit.

Try a sip.

Yep, keep going.

You're so close.

Choo-choo train.

Don't get a brain freeze.

[SINGING] Started like this.

Took a little trip

I made a wish.

In a little twist

I found you.

Simply irresistible.

Caught my eye.

Took me by surprise

I can't deny.

Temperature is rising.

Won't come down.

Got me feeling high, and now.

Are you up.

Thank you for coming to the party.

Thank you for coming to the party.

[SINGING] I don't even know

I want to take you home.

Shine like a diamond with you.

Way to go.

Now I ain't never going to let you go

I don't even know

I don't even know

I don't even know.

Want to take you home.

Shout it out loud.

Let the whole world know

I ain't never going to let you go

I don't even know

I don't even know.

Thank you for coming to the party.

You sound like a queen.

Is that a compliment?

No, not at all.

[SINGING] I don't even know

I don't even know

I don't even know.

You are what I'm looking for

I don't even know

I want to take you home.

Shine like a diamond with you.

Way to go.

Now I ain't never going to let you go.

So much harder than you think it is.

I would like to see you try

and do an American accent.

My name is Lucas Holt. Thank

you for coming to the party.

Can I have some water?

Water.

That's pretty good.

[SINGING] Together like yes and no.

Rollin' like a high and low

I don't even know

I don't even know

I don't even know.

Together like hot and cold.

Rollin' like a stop and go

I don't even know

I don't even know

I don't even know.

Everything is exquisite.

Everything's exquisite.

Except your accent.

[laughs]

[SINGING] I don't even know

I want to take you home.

Shine like a diamond with you.

Way to go.

Now I ain't never going to let you go

I don't even know

I don't even know.

Together like hot and cold.

Rollin' like a stop and go

I don't even know

I don't even know.

That doesn't look like a

turkey sandwich on whole wheat.

They must have confused my order.

I changed it.

You changed my turkey on whole

wheat into early death on a bun?

EMILIA: You may die early.

But you would die very happy.

I believe you're supposed

to be practicing your accent.

Do you have burgers in England?

We do.

Despite their ubiquity, I somehow

managed to avoid consuming one.

Poor man.

You're in good spirits for once.

EMILIA: Why not?

I'm in comfortable clothes.

The weather's all right.

Not a dress in sight.

And you know, really good

food puts me in a good mood.

What about you, guv'nor?

You don't want a little bite of this?

Everyone's doing it.

It's very popular.

Taste a little bit of this.

No?

Say yes.

I admit, that is quite good.

Stick with me long enough, you'll

be eating burgers not

just with your hands

and watching football.

Claire, can... can I

ask you some personal

questions about Mr. Holt?

I'll do my best to answer.

But remember to use your accent.

Well, Lucas seems to

be a very good father.

But it is...

You feel he spends more time

working than he does with Bri?

So it's not just me then, is it?

His wife, Sara, was a lovely woman.

I don't know how she

turned out so wonderful,

considering her parents.

What's wrong with the parents?

Trust me.

You'd understand if you met them.

Everyone talks about how Sara's

death had a catastrophic effect

on Bri, but nobody talks about

the effect it's had on Mr. Holt.

He doesn't realize it,

but he's a different man.

He's withdrawn.

So why hasn't anybody said anything?

As Mr. Holt's staff, it

would be inappropriate.

You can tell them no.

I am so sorry.

Lucas is going to have to call you back.

Thank you very much.

The dress isn't quite fitted to me yet.

No, I'm going to need you

to listen to me for a second

because when I say I'm going

to do something, I do it.

And I feel like you've kind of

caught on to that, because ever

since I agreed to this

whole Princess thing,

it's like you think that

you're doing me a favor.

I have tried on a billion dresses.

I have balanced a whole

library on my head.

And I've had my face painted more

times than the Sistine Chapel.

So I have one question for you, Mr. Holt.

What matters more to you,

your daughter or your work?

Bri, of course.

Because ever since

this whole thing began,

you've been micromanaging

every single aspect of this.

And it has taken so long.

It takes forever because

you're also trying to work.

But we've got a new plan.

I'm going to let Felicia and Claire

take over Princess patrol.

And you are going to plan Bri's party.

And you are going to, I don't know,

spend time with your daughter

that you claim to love so much.

Oh, my gosh. Wow, crazy.

What an idea.

If that doesn't work for

you, just let me know.

And I'm going to be out of here.

OK?

That's seems like a wise

distribution of our time.

May I?

Yes.

Cheers.

Oh, by the way, I secured

a copy of the Princess

Aria theme song for you to perform

during your grand entrance.

You can sing, of course.

Live?

It would defeat the purpose otherwise.

Live humans?

I suppose you could lip sync.

But as you said, no longer my job.

So I'll leave that up to you to decide.

Last bit, and I'll be quiet.

These children know

this theme song better

than they know their own names.

If you're not precise in your delivery,

they will turn on you

like ravaging wolves.

I think I'll take Bri

shopping for guest gifts

and then perhaps to the cinema.

I really must thank you for taking over.

I feel renewed.

Cheers.

I'm sure she has escaped

out a window or something.

She should be down here by now.

Look, I just going to

check on her real quick.

No no, no.

Don't worry.

She's probably making some

last minute dress adjustments.

Emilia would not back

out of a commitment.

You looked at Bri.

She's miserable at her own party.

We need a contingency plan.

You, you could fit in the dress.

Peach isn't my color.

It's more yours than mine.

You're doing this for Bri.

You're doing this for Bri.

[children shouting]

LUCAS: This is awful.

This was a terrible idea.

It's freezing.

Can you see what's going on.

Come on, Darling.

Everything's fine.

What is that?

[SINGING] There are some rules.

Seek out the silence.

From the hustle and bustle of day.

While others are busy.

Who live in a city.

And never go out to play.

But I...

But I have a solution.

And it doesn't cost a thing.

There's a world in your mind.

Just imagine what you'll find.

And it's inside of you and in me.

It's inside of you and in me.

Welcome to Arcadia.

Be whoever you want to be.

While you're in Arcadia.

Be a mountain, a goat, or a bee.

It's a magical space

where you can go any place.

If you use your creativity.

Because Arcadia is for you and for me

I thought somehow it

mattered that our friends.

Talked a lot about us.

Didn't want them getting big ideas

I could not let myself.

Be more real in my feelings

I put the silence ends right here.

'Cause I want to try again

I want to live with no regrets

I want to know whatever

happens is for the best.

And if there's some other guy.

Pretend for a moment.

It was meant to be.

Just you and me.

Nothing else seems to

mean a thing right now.

Now stop

I want to know whatever

happens is for the best.

And if... right now.

Then Santa got real

quick, and he spun so fast.

Then Princess Aria gave him a prize.

And it was a race car.

And he loves cars.

Then Joanna and Cassie, they got a doll.

And they love dolls.

Princess Aria knew what they liked.

Princess Aria is kind of

like Santa, but pretty.

[laughs]

My dress is just like Princess Aria's.

And my tiara too.

I'm a real Princess now.

Yes, you are.

Speaking of royal accouterments, we

perhaps take your tiara off while you

sleep, just to be safe?

Just to be safe.

There we go.

[sighs] Hey, are you all right?

I miss Princess Aria.

But I know she has to

go back to Arcadia.

You still have her cartoons.

Do you think she'll visit again?

Oh, I don't know.

I mean, running a kingdom

is a massive responsibility.

But anything is possible.

I love you, daddy.

Thank you for my best birthday.

Evening, ladies.

OK.

So, how did I do?

You vastly exceeded expectations.

Oh, my God.

It was so...

I was so worried.

Bri, she's so cute.

LUCAS: Thank you.

Oh, this is way more than we agreed to.

LUCAS: It should be far more than that.

CLAIRE: Mr. Holt is quite stern.

When he makes a decision, it's final.

Well, I did minute, but

I did kind of enjoy myself.

[laughter]

I'm glad to hear that, because I have

another proposition for you.

Oh.

Nothing to do with jell-o, I promise.

Jell-o?

Dare I ask?

Bri does, in fact, believe that you

are the real Princess Aria.

How would you feel about

playing the role full time?

Are you serious?

Before you answer, at least come look

at where you'll be staying.

There can be a bit of a draft.

Oh, yeah, I can feel that for sure.

This helps.

Does it work?

[laughs] It works.

So, do we have a deal?

I mean, that depends.

I mean, how long do you want

me to reign as Princess Aria?

Well, I would think, for the money,

you would hope to rule

as long as possible.

You know I'm not doing

this for the money.

So my real question is,

is this going to help her?

I cannot say for certain.

But after what I saw today, her

smile, her interacting with you

with the other children...

I got my daughter back today.

I don't want to lose her again.

But for this to work,

when you are with Bri,

you must be Princess Aria at all times.

In all places, public or

private, doesn't matter.

She cannot find out who you really are.

Is there no other option?

Please, you're my only hope.

No, that is not fair.

You cannot use the

Star Wars guilt trip on me.

Star Wars?

What if this doesn't work?

What if it does?

That's the last box.

Thank you.

Just in time.

Lucas and Bri will be back soon.

How are you feeling?

Other than being on the

verge of having a panic attack,

I'm great.

Just remember, you're

doing a wonderful thing

for a wonderful little girl.

And you have the ability to take breaks.

And then once Bri goes to bed,

and then you're free to wander

the property as yourself.

The kitchen is fully stocked.

You can raid it whenever

you want anytime of night.

Well, I might have to take you up on that.

My dad used to always

make me this sleep remedy.

He called it his sleepy cow milk.

Milk mix with hazelnut and

then a dash of cinnamon.

You pop it in the microwave

for 60s, and it would

just cure my anxiety like that.

So I'm going to be needing

a lot of that every night.

You and your father sound very close.

Where do you hail from?

[phone vibrates]

Speaking of my father...

I will give you some privacy.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hey, I haven't heard from you.

It's been so busy.

Yeah, busy getting fired?

No, I didn't get fired.

I was... I creatively quit.

Good.

Creatively, good.

It's actually... it's kind of a good thing.

I had to admit something to myself.

OK.

I realize that I don't think

I really like working on cars.

I think I just like

working on cars with you.

Hey, we can work on

cars anytime you want.

Knowing you, I'm a little

concerned about this creative

quitting thing, though.

You made a choice, and you took action.

Good for you.

What's next?

I'm exploring my options.

Em, just do me a favor, will you?

Don't just focus on your career.

There's more to life than just

work, if you know what I mean.

I do.

Bri, love.

Did you have a good birthday yesterday?

Yes.

Huh.

What was your favorite part?

Princess Aria.

What would you say if I had one

last birthday surprise for you?

But I had a great birthday.

I don't need anything else.

You might reconsider once you see it.

Oh!

Hello.

Princess Aria?

Can you believe it?

Allow me to welcome

you to your new home.

Just for a little bit, if

that's all right with you.

Yes, she can sleep in my room.

Oh, I think the guest

house would be more

suitable quarters for Princess.

Don't you agree?

Can Princess Aria tuck me in?

I'm not the one to ask.

Can you tuck me in?

I can think of nothing

I would enjoy more.

Can we have a Princess

day out tomorrow?

Princess day out!

In public!

Oh, well, I think that's a wonderful idea.

Don't you, Princess?

Again, I can think of

nothing I would enjoy more.

After you.

Princess.

Next time, you're putting on this dress.

I look like a peach in this.

Is that what you wanted?

Oh, oh, oh, watch your step.

This way, this way.

The vase, vase!

No, no.

That's antique!

EMILIA: I'm sorry.

Can you tell me a bedtime story?

Where are your books?

I've read those books.

I want the adventures from Arcadia.

Well, let me just go

oh, sorry.

Um, well, let's see.

Once upon a time, in the

kingdom of Arcadia, there was

there was a mouse.

There was a very beautiful mouse.

And this mouse's name was Celeste.

This is going to be great.

Here we are.

Aloha, Bobby.

Madam.

Yeah.

Just bring everything up to the room.

[sighs] Good to be back.

And then on that very day, that

is the day that our beautiful

mouse, Lest, learned

that the most magical

thing you could ever have

was the magic of friendship.

That was awesome.

It was even better than

the stories you make on TV.

Well, thank you.

That's very kind.

However, I do think that

this little Princess here

needs some sleep.

Plus, we need to get ready for

our Princess day out tomorrow.

Yes.

Yes, we do.

Just going to get some rest first.

[sighs]

[gasps]

[groans]

Stop being so dramatic.

Who are you?

Princess Aria.

Hi.

JANET: That is an interesting idea.

I mean, it really wasn't an easy decision.

It took quite a lot of convincing.

Oh, well, I can imagine.

It can't be easy playing

a beautiful Princess.

Oh, I knew I couldn't do it.

I couldn't.

I know Bri's dearly

departed mother, Sara.

She would be so happy

to know that you're

doing this just strictly for Bri,

without any other motive whatsoever.

Yeah.

You know, Lucas and

Sara were soulmates.

They were inseparable

in life and in death.

She died here, by the way.

In fact, I can still feel

Sara in this house.

I just know that Sara is

watching over her loving

husband and beautiful little

daughter at all times,

in all places.

Whole darn house.

Every single room.

Bathrooms, laundry room.

I felt her in my closet last night.

What do we do?

Oh, it's just a scratch.

It'll be fine.

Not you.

Emilia.

Did you see her?

Oh, yeah, I did.

She's so be... easily

very, very unattractive.

If Lucas falls for that gold digger,

we could lose everything.

This home, our trips, my bidet.

Oh, we could lose Bri.

Mm-hmm.

We've got to get Emilia fired.

And until that happens, we

have to run interference.

They can't be allowed

to spend time together.

Oh, not just Lucas.

If Bri gets attached to

Emilia, it's game over.

Oh, that's right.

Oh, and their Princess day is tomorrow.

Yeah.

Huh.

Then again, maybe it's not.

[laughs]

No, no, no, I'm pretty sure it's tomorrow.

[sighs]

LUCAS: Oh, perfect.

It's all right. Don't mind it.

Don't mind.

All right, I got it.

Grandma, grandpa!

WALTER: Hey there, princesses!

You girls off to a ball?

I missed you.

But while you were gone,

Princess Aria came to my party!

And she made me a real Princess.

And we're going to have

a Princess day out.

Oh, we were just coming to get you.

We wanted to take you shopping

since we missed your birthday.

Perhaps you can go tomorrow.

Can we do it tomorrow?

Boy, we really missed you.

We were looking forward to

spending the day together.

That's all right, because we

can have Princess day anytime.

And actually, the Princess has

to return home to the kingdom

to gather her things.

So it's perfect, really.

OK.

Oh, goody.

Now, why don't you go change

into something different?

We don't want to get that

pretty dress all dirty.

Mission accomplished.

EMILIA: So where are we really going?

LUCAS: I asked Felicia to begin

tailoring more dresses for you.

I've been told that they

are much more comfortable

and yet will maintain a royal visage.

Really?

OK.

So I'm not going to be in a giant dress

when like Godzilla taking

out a small fishing village?

Really?

Godzilla, giant green lizard.

Often mistaken for the villain.

But he's really a hero.

You don't... oh, my.

You don't know.

But in this scenario,

you're the giant green lizard?

Yeah, that's me.

See that?

Oh, my... never mind.

Look, I know this whole Princess

and dresses thing is not

your usual cup of sleepy cow.

Good one.

But I have a surprise I think you'll enjoy.

Oh, I don't know how I

feel about your surprises.

I mean...

If Robert is correct, I

think you'll enjoy this one.

[upbeat music]

You have a Bugatti?

Are you kidding?

No.

Is this a Camaro Z28?

Shut up!

Ooh, she's very nice.

She is quite nice.

Very pretty.

I like that one.

Is that an Aston Martin DB11?

It's too bad.

My 64 DB5 is being detailed.

You would rather like that one.

That is James Bond's car.

I stole it right out of his garage.

No, I don't...

I don't think you're fully aware that that

is the world's most famous car.

This size able drop in my bank

statement made me quite aware.

OK, but did you know that

they only made four of these...

For Goldfinger.

Well, Sean Connery's finest Bond film.

I'm more of a Roger Moore kind of girl.

You poor, poor girl.

I would have pegged you

as a Pierce Brosnan type.

Wow, you really are a Bond fan.

I guess you didn't grow

up in a bubble after all.

My mother had a rather structured

entertainment schedule.

Television was not allowed in the house.

But my father, he was a true bondsman.

He'd secret me away to

the local pub every time

a Bond film was playing on the telly.

He sounds like a good dad.

They're both great.

Still in England, and we

try to get over when we can.

How about yours?

Well, my dad...

Sorry, we should get going.

Let me call Robert and

have him pull up the car.

OK, but why would you call Bobby

when you have so many options?

I mean, this baby's got a

corner like it's on rails.

Well, I wouldn't know.

I've never driven it.

The others either.

No.

I never learned how to drive stick.

No, you're kidding.

My first car was a limousine.

[laughs] OK, there you go.

You got the Pretty Woman reference.

So you do know that the Pretty

Woman... oh, you've never seen...

Never seen it. Sorry.

OK.

My interest is more in the

collecting than the driving.

My interest is more in the

driving than the collecting.

[music playing]

[SINGING] It's never faded.

It never gets old

I won't trade it...

You ready?

Ready for what?

They sound like that?

[SINGING] Because

it made me feel good

[screaming]

The only way that love should.

Yeah, you made me feel good, feel good.

The sun is shining.

All the stars are blinding.

Yeah, you made me feel good.

Yeah, you made me feel good.

Feel good, feel good.

Will you teach me?

Yes.

So this is an automatic.

But for more fun, we're

going to try manual.

We could just start with automatic.

When life gives you a choice,

you always choose adventure.

There we go.

OK, you're just going to put

your hands up a little bit

higher.

You got your paddle shifters on the right.

You're going to shift up, and the opposite

on the left when slowing down.

So, OK.

[engine revs]

OK, yep.

Shift up, shift up, shift up.

Shift up, shift up, shift up.

Left.

I don't when to shift.

It doesn't tell me when to shift.

I'm sorry.

I'm nervous.

It's my first time.

It's OK.

It happens on the first time.

So we're going to put this in neutral.

You know what?

Close your eyes.

Mm-hmm.

Trust me.

Close your eyes.

You're going to feel the car.

Now you're going to put

your foot on the gas.

You're going to hear the engine rev.

And the car is going to tell

you when it's ready to shift.

And when you feel it,

you'll know it's time.

When you feel it, you'll know it's time.

OK.

You ready?

[laughter]

[screaming]

No, no, no, no, no.

Shift.

[SINGING] Where did you come from?

I was caught off guard

I wasn't ready.

For all of this love.

That you give to me.

So what are your questions?

Please lay them all out

I want to know that.

Know what you're all about.

Can I see inside?

'Cause I've been drowning.

Waiting for love.

What I thought...

[siren wailing]

Um... there we go.

EMILIA: I think they want to talk to you.

Damn.

You were speeding, like a lot.

It's OK, it's OK.

You can afford a ticket, right?

No license, huh?

You probably should

have mentioned that.

Right.

Cheers.

[whistles]

[groans]

I walked more today than

I did playing all the golf

games I've ever played.

Because I had Lucas buy you a golf cart.

You walk more going to the bathroom

than you do playing golf.

[engine rumbles]

WALTER: Oh, that's not good.

No, it is not.

And I already have pictures from our day

out with grandma and grandpa.

Look.

Well, speak of the devils.

That's an overstatement.

We had such a fun day with Bri today.

Oh, and we heard you two

had such a fun day, too.

And got her car

impounded in the process.

We're getting you out

tomorrow, after our fun day out.

Fun day out?

Instead of a Princess

day out, we invited daddy

so he didn't feel left out.

Just the three of them.

Bri has her heart set on

just the three of them.

Thank you for showing

her a good time today.

She loves the tablet.

Oh, it's our pleasure.

Absolutely.

She is our only grandmother.

All right, well...

LUCAS: Good night then?

Oh, good night.

[chatters]

EMILIA: It's very cute.

Come in.

Son, you mind if we talk for a second?

Of course not.

Please.

Well, Walter and I would

like to apologize for earlier.

We feel like maybe we didn't

make Emilia feel very welcome.

It's just really difficult

to see you replace

Sara with another woman.

I'm sorry if it appeared that way,

but Emilia's only here to help Bri.

Oh, boy.

Thank goodness.

Dumb-dumbs.

We thought you'd totally

forgotten about Sara.

That would be quite impossible.

Perhaps you might want

to reconsider spending

the day with them tomorrow.

I mean, we know the truth

now, but for everybody else.

And imagine how Bri might feel if she

thought that you were replacing

her mommy with another woman.

Just something to think about.

I would.

Thank you.

Good night.

Night night.

But daddy promised.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

He had a work emergency

and had to go in.

I have a wonderful idea.

What if today was Bri day, and all we did

was absolutely everything you wished?

Can we be matching princesses?

Can we go to the movies?

Absolutely.

Why don't you go get started

with your evening gown,

all right?

Take your time.

Sweet girl.

There's a sainthood waiting for

you on your day of reckoning.

Do you think if I asked God really nicely,

he'll take me away before I

have to put on that dress again?

I doubt it.

He loves to laugh as much as we do.

[laughs]

[groans]

[SINGING] Sun shining

up like a lemon drop.

That spinning clock's not going to stop.

Oh, gotta get up and go.

Nothing on my list, but having fun.

Need a little help to get it done.

Hey, hey, hey,

What you say, what

you say, what you say.

Do you want to, want

to, want to run away?

There's never going to

be another day like this.

Times like this though.

You don't want to miss, no.

There's never going to

be another day like this.

Not a single minute

where the time don't tick.

Never going to be another you and me.

Where you want to start,

what you want to see.

'Cause there's never going

to be another day like this.

Not a single minute

where the time don't tick.

Never going to be another you and me.

Where you want to start,

what you want to see.

'Cause there's never going

to be another day like this.

The dress is so cute.

Mom, can I take a

picture with the Princess?

Honey, we don't have money for that.

I'm sorry.

EMILIA: Hello, there.

I think these two are the most beautiful

princesses I've ever seen.

Don't you agree?

Hi, my name is Princess Bri.

What's yours?

Jenna.

It is an absolute

pleasure to meet you, Jenna.

Would you like to try my tiara?

EMILIA: Beautiful.

Thank you.

JENNA: Thank you.

Princess, was that

mommy and daddy poor?

They very well may be.

And me and daddy are rich?

You're very blessed.

Yes.

I need to go tell daddy something.

Well, daddy's at work.

Can't it wait?

I see.

It must be very urgent.

And you said it's my day, remember?

You said we could do anything I want.

You know, you're right.

I think we should go see him.

Yes.

If we look at the

numbers from last quarter,

we see that profit share has increased

substantially compared to our...

Daddy!

Come here, love.

Oh, what a pleasant surprise.

Amazing.

You look exactly like...

Everyone, I would like

to introduce Princess Aria.

And of course, you all know my daughter

who's recently been crowned

Princess Bri of Arcadia.

Daddy, we need to talk.

It's urgenent.

Well, then, if it's urgenent.

Everyone, let's take a break, shall we?

Yes.

Cheers.

Thank you.

All right then.

What can I do for you?

I want to trade all my future birthday

parties for a big Princess

party for little girls

who don't have money.

Oh?

It was all Princess Bri's idea.

That's very noble of you, but it

would be quite an undertaking.

No, no, that's absolutely unfair.

You can't.

Can't do that to me.

[laughter]

This is your fault. I

don't care what you say.

And that was the most wonderful day

that I ever had with my

best friend, the Princess.

That was just like us today.

You know, I think you're right.

I had so much fun.

It was just like me and my mom...

Your mummy?

My mom died when I was

little, just like you.

She did?

It was an accident.

A deer ran straight in

front of her royal carriage.

I still miss my mommy.

I'm still sad.

So was daddy.

That's why he never talks about mom.

Are you still sad?

Yeah, sometimes.

But I discovered a wonderful secret that

helps me anytime I feel sad.

My mummy is still here.

Right here and right here.

In all of my happiest

memories, I talk about her.

I tell my friends about her.

I think about her.

So no matter where I go,

she is always with me.

Will that worked for me and daddy.

Of course, it will.

Your mummy is so proud of you.

Especially because you care

so much about the other girls.

If them other girls are

sad, I know they'll be happy

when they meet the real Princess

Aria, 'cause you make me happy.

The liability alone.

I mean, all those kids running around.

I mean, it just takes

one to get hurt and...

A lawsuit.

I can have a legal release drawn.

And theft.

They're probably homeless.

So they're stealing for drugs.

They're not drug addicts.

They're children.

Well, then they're

probably riddled with lice.

The party is Bri's idea, and

I applaud her sense of charit.

What about this whole

Princess Aria thing.

I mean, it's one thing that you've

got Bri fooled, but bringing

in these impoverished...

Convincing them that

Princess Aria is real,

that could cause emotional damage.

You need to fire Emilia right away.

Enough.

The party is happening.

And as long as Emilia makes me

happy, she isn't going anywhere.

Absolutely.

We were just trying to point

out any potential issues that

might need to be addressed.

That's all.

I appreciate your concern.

OK.

Thank you.

We're going to do what

are we going to do.

That didn't go very well.

We're out of time.

Oh, wait wait, wait.

You remember my buddy Mason?

Yeah.

WALTER: He's a private investigator.

JANET: Uh-huh.

WALTER: Uh-huh.

Well, everybody's got

skeletons in their closet.

I'll hire Mason to dig

up one of Emilia's, huh?

I like that.

We somehow show Bri

that Emilia is a fake

without it looking like we had anything

to do with getting her fired.

[laughs]

I feel so guilty.

I just...

CHUCK: I see.

Well, that is a lot to process.

I'm just worried she's going

to lose all of her progress.

And then...

Well, you can still be in her life

even if you're not a Princess, right?

I mean, I hope so.

But I don't know.

There's just a lot of gray area.

I hate to tell you this, darling.

But the gray area is

where the black and white

goes to hide when it's scared.

So stop being scared.

Just follow your heart and

everything will work out fine.

Hey.

Hi.

I was just coming to talk to you.

Oh, what's the matter?

I'm going to tell Bri the truth tomorrow.

We had a deal.

I know.

But I feel guilty for lying.

She's made massive improvement.

And you're willing to risk a relapse

just to assuage a little guilt?

That's not what I was saying.

I'll triple your salary.

You don't get it.

She trusts me.

She is telling me things

that she shouldn't

be telling a Princess.

She should be telling you.

I am not the one that she loves.

I am not the one that she trusts.

I'm not the one that she adores.

That's stupid because I find myself being

jealous of a cartoon Princess.

What is going to happen when she finds

out that the person she has put

everything into isn't even real?

That's it.

Three months.

That's all I ask.

I shouldn't...

Listen, listen.

I spoke with her therapist.

Now that Bri is older, she

is maturing more quickly.

In a few months, this

Princess nonsense won't

mean the same thing to her.

The truth will have less of an impact

if we just wait a little longer.

Please.

Three more months.

One condition.

No phones, no work, and you

are helping plan Bri's party.

And you can't do what you did last time.

You can't bail on us.

You have no idea how

much that affected Bri.

That is not cool.

So three months, and then we're

going to tell her together.

Deal.

What?

You love Bri.

Yeah.

It's really hard not to.

And I find your concern for her beguiling.

WALTER: How's the water, kids?

You couldn't sleep either, huh?

It's fine, yes.

We were just discussing

the Princess party.

Yeah.

It's so busy.

It's been crazy. Good night.

OK, good night.

I should be getting to bed as well.

- Alrighty.

- Enjoy the pool.

Uh-huh.

LUCAS: It's nice and warm.

We're running out of time.

You've got to get your

private investigator busy now.

Private inves... oh, Mason.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Come on.

All right, let's go.

[music playing]

[SINGING] There's a breeze tonight.

Painting clouds on the pale pink sky.

Like boats on the ocean.

Gleaming light of the

sun dives underneath.

There's never been space.

Enough to keep us apart.

Cause baby, we're close.

Like sunshine on horizons.

That break in the dawn.

And baby, we're close.

Like shorelines touching oceans.

And Earth where they're drawing.

Baby, we're closer.

As we grow older.

All the love that time brings.

Baby, we're closer.

Than we've ever been.

Though the distance takes its toll.

On our hearts.

Like the only thing we can

do is keep on closer to you.

Stay closer to me.

Oh.

You've got this giant pool.

And I feel like you never use it.

After I change, you

want to go for a swim?

You swim, right?

Yes, sorry.

I'm just running through the

party checklist in my mind.

You don't need to worry.

It's going to be great.

Everything's beautiful.

The tiaras, the dresses, the yard.

I mean, we have so much candy, we

would make Willy Wonka jealous.

You've seen Willy.

You have to know who Willy Wonka is.

I swear, I...

OK.

Listen, we're going to have a 48

hour movie marathon, all right?

All the classics.

Psycho... you don't know that.

It's fine.

The Godfather.

The Godfather, 1, 2, and 3.

Star Wars, all of them.

And then the classic, the Princess Bride.

Well, that sounds

appropriate, Princess Bride.

One's about a kissing book.

I can't imagine not liking

a movie about a kissing book.

Yeah, that would be inconceivable.

Can I... actually, it's

been an exhausting week.

And can we rain check the swim?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's fine.

I need some rest anyways.

So, yeah.

Good night.

Good night, Emilia.

Royal guests, on behalf of Princess Aria,

I welcome you to our castle.

Thank you all for coming.

Each one of you looks so beautiful.

Now, this whole party

was Princess Bri's idea

because she knows that the world can

be a very happy and bright place,

but it can also be sad and dark.

But she's learned

something very important

that while becoming a Princess

may not grant you the ability

to rule over a kingdom, you

can rule over your fears,

your doubts, and your pain.

One last piece of advice

when life gives you a choice,

always choose to be a Princess.

[SINGING] Everything you gain...

Well, what are you waiting for?

Let's go.

[SINGING] I won't hide away.

Wave goodbye to yesterday.

You're new to me

I see tomorrow in your eyes.

We'll run away.

Chase this feeling everyday.

It's you and me

I see tomorrow in your eyes.

Whoa, whoa.

See tomorrow in your eyes.

Whoa, whoa.

See tomorrow in your eyes.

Mason.

Mason.

Is it him?

Are you sure it's Emilia in the video?

Wait till you see this time.

It's about time

somebody messed with Chad.

[laughs] Oh, hey.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh.

[laughs] Oh, that's good.

Now, congratulations.

You have all been through

the coronation ceremony.

[applause]

Bravo, ladies.

Bravo.

Now, a ceremony is a

combination of certain words

in a certain order.

But remember, you don't

need special words

to tell you who you are.

The truth is you are all

princesses long before you

came here to your friends, to your family,

to those who love you.

Don't ever forget that.

[chatter]

[SINGING]... all about that.

You spin me right round.

Call me when your time runs out.

Cause I know, I know...

You make a better door than a window.

[SINGING] You spin me right round.

Call me when your love runs out

[laughs]

Come here.

Princess party time.

Yeah.

[SINGING] Help me find

dresses at Hope Avenue.

Find me the sizes that fit like you do.

When you pull me in close.

Without being as visible

I must say, your dancing has improved.

Oh, that's so kind of you.

But I have already stepped

on your feet five times.

[groans]

Sorry.

I think that's six.

Well, only six times.

Let's call that a vast improvement.

[SINGING]... good night.

Turn around to head home

I just hope you know.

That you make me.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

[SINGING] Like I was yours all along.

As you may.

Pardon.

That dress... I mean, honestly.

I know.

It's your fault.

[laughs]

What?

What?

What is it?

What is it?

No, you can't.

No, it's nice to see you smiling.

And if I didn't know

any better, I would say

that you are happy, Mr. Holt.

Bri's happy, I am happy.

All thanks to you.

I hope you know how

much I appreciate you.

All you've done for Bri

what I don't think you know

is how much I appreciate you

for what you've done for me.

[SINGING] If I'm still hurting.

We'll give it more time...

If I may be so bold, I

may I kiss you?

Yes.

[SINGING] Like I've never been broken.

Like I was yours all along.

And I mean...

[gasping]

So sorry to interrupt.

Ms. Claire is looking for you.

She's in the East wing, Princess Aria.

- I think I'm going now.

- Yeah.

Um...

MAN [ON VIDEO]: Oh, hey.

Yeah.

That's awesome.

All right, so the trick is, with this bolt,

you got to reach around.

Hey, where are you going?

I'm not done yet.

Check it out, check it out.

Chad blocks a customer in.

So Emilia's stealing his car.

[laughs]

That is hilarious.

About time somebody

messed with Chad.

[laughs] Oh, hey.

Yeah, that's awesome.

Perfect, perfect.

Nicely done.

Emilia Pratt, I love you, girl.

[laughs]

About time somebody

messed with Chad.

[laughs] Oh, hey.

Yeah.

Do you ever get tired of

watching my silly cartoons?

Oh, Bri.

Is this you?

Are you really Princess Aria?

No.

My name is Emilia Pratt.

Bri.

Bri.

Bri.

Bri, I can explain.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's all right.

EMILIA: Lucas.

Bri, I am so sorry.

You broke your word and told her.

What happened?

Take Bri to her room.

I'll be there shortly.

EMILIA: After I came home last night...

You love Bri, yet you chose

yourself over her well-being.

I can explain exactly...

You're not a parent.

Yet you act as if you know

what is best for my daughter.

You have no right to

make decisions for Bri.

But that doesn't matter to you.

If something doesn't meet your approval,

you simply change it with no regard

as to help me affect others.

That is so not fair.

Life is unfair.

That is why you are here

and her real mother is not!

Seeing as you've negated

your purpose for being here,

your position is terminated immediately.

You can go.

Seeing as I am no longer your staff,

I think it is completely

appropriate for me to tell you

exactly what no one else

here is willing to tell you.

Please.

Do enlighten me.

You have been spending months

trying to find a cure for Bri

when the answer has been right

in front of you this whole time.

What is that?

It's you.

You expect your six-year-old daughter

to grieve and move

forward in life when you

won't even do that yourself.

You refuse to talk about Sara.

So Bri doesn't talk about Sara.

And then Bri just takes all of that,

and she just internalizes

that and carries that with her

in her little body, because you don't want

to face the reality of coming home

to a little girl who

was grieving her mother.

You've been trying to find this cure.

Bri doesn't need a Princess.

She just needs a father.

I ask that you be

gone by noon tomorrow.

Packed already?

No point in waiting.

Here.

He left this for you.

He's paying me as if I stayed

for the extra three months.

He knows he was wrong.

But the daft fool takes

after his stubborn mother.

All right then, let's do this.

Quickly now, before I lose it.

You will be missed.

Thank you.

You, too.

All of you.

I need you to hug Bri for me.

And I need you to tell her how

much I love her, and that I am...

I am so sorry.

OK.

[SINGING] When my days are

filled with missing you.

But there was nothing I could do.

My heart was torn and so confused

I knew what I had to do

I'll say this once 'cause

I can't say it twice

I loved you then, but

I can't fall this time.

Goodbye, goodbye.

To someone who I used to know.

To someone that made me glow.

Goodbye, goodbye

I had to do this for myself.

For secrets I can't tell.

So goodbye, goodbye.

To someone who I used to know.

To someone that made me glow.

Goodbye, goodbye

I had to do this for myself.

But you never understood

how to not be selfish.

So I had to move on.

And do what's best for m, yeah.

And although missing you will be hellish.

Oh, I hope that someday.

You can forgive me for this.

Goodbye, goodbye.

To someone who I used to know.

To someone who made me glow.

Goodbye, goodbye, yeah.

To someone that made me glow.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

It's time to say goodbye.

To someone who I used to know.

Oh, dear.

I didn't see the bottle.

And I accidentally knocked it over.

And Janet hates me.

She'll have Mr. Holt fire me if she sees

I've ruined her vacation shirt.

If Mr. Holt fired

everyone who Janet hated,

the only person living

here would be Janet.

Give it here I will stash it

so far back in Janet's closet

that no one will find it.

Thank you.

And it's not all your

fault. I mean, we did warn

you about the Princess thing.

And now Bri's back to being sad.

Maybe even worse than before.

She's not even watching

her Princess Aria cartoon.

I think Bri believes that you're trying

to replace Sara with Emilia.

That is quite enough.

I can no longer stand by with

vermin such as you disrespecting

Mr. Holt with your vile mouths.

How dare you speak to us that way.

Lucas, fire her immediately.

Claire, are you all right?

I am most certainly not.

But I will be after you read this.

You went through my things?

If this is yours, then

why is my name on it?

I found it in Janet's closet

when I was putting away a shirt.

Does this really belong to Lucas?

Let's go.

Stop.

Do not move.

SARA [VOICE OVER]: My love, I

know how difficult my passing

will be on you and Bri.

So I told my mother to wait a few weeks

before giving this to you.

We were blessed with a

life where nothing has

been left unsaid between us.

So what I'm about to say

will be difficult for you.

Bri's the culmination of

everything good and beautiful

that you and I have to offer this world.

I'm counting on you to help her

through this difficult time.

And while I know you're fully

capable of raising Bri alone,

the thought breaks my heart

into a million pieces.

So I expect you to find a woman who

is worthy to not only help

raise our little girl,

but to love you, as I have loved you.

I expect to look down some day and see

the happy family we once were.

Now, before I go, I want

to thank you for all

the love and joy you gave me.

But most importantly, I want to thank

you for making me a mother.

It may have only been for a short time,

but the experience will

last me an eternity.

Goodbye, my love.

Sara.

I'm sorry, Lucas.

I have always felt indebted to you

both for bringing Sara into this world.

But now I feel that debt has been paid.

It is time for you to leave.

If a day comes when you

value your granddaughter

more than money, you will

be welcome to visit her.

But until then...

We love Bri.

Come on.

I know it's against the rules, but...

LUCAS: Can I come in?

Come here.

I'd like to talk about mummy.

About what happened to her.

And about how much we miss her.

And all the happy

memories we have of her.

Would that be all right?

It's OK if you're sad

or if you need to cry.

I'm here for you, right?

You know that.

What are you doing.

I'm trying to fix this carburetor.

You've been trying to fix that

carburetor for about two weeks

now.

Yeah, and I still can't figure it out.

So...

I just... I think this is good.

I think this life is

good enough for me and

what?

I love this life.

For me, not for you.

I don't like seeing you like this.

Like what?

Dad, I... I tried.

It didn't work.

I failed.

So...

No.

No, you didn't.

You went out there

and you found yourself

a interesting occupation [laughs]

where you met a sweet

little girl that you adore.

And you fell in love

with an absolute moron.

It still counts, though.

You don't fail by coming home.

You only fail by not

getting back out there.

I love it here.

But let's face it, you're

destined for bigger things.

Best you quit fighting

and just give on into it.

Not before you finish

this carburetor, though.

Then you're going to have

to get out real fast.

OK.

Can I take the car with me or...

You can leave the car.

I will give you a bus pass.

[SINGING] The land, the

land that time forgot.

I think purple flowers next week.

Brilliant idea.

Mom would love that.

It's your mom's fault

you like fruit on pizza.

I don't think it is.

It's very American.

Well, it's really tasty.

I think mommy would want

Emilia to be your wife.

Do you now?

Yeah.

I must admit, sometimes I think she'd

want Emilia to be your mom.

Perhaps we should see what Emilia

thinks of all our thinking.

I'll tell Bobby to get the car.

Hold on.

What if I want to drive us?

Did you get a license?

Let's take the pizza, eh?

Yay!

All right, let's go.

[SINGING] I decided that I

wanted to see through your es.

Wanted to know.

Why you cried.

You said you felt like

you were locked up inside.

Couldn't do what normal people like to do.

You said, you said shrink.

Hear somebody say, don't let anybody in.

Don't let anybody in.

And you know you're going to be OK.

It's all in your head.

Say it's up to you.

CLAIRE: I hoped maybe...

We checked everywhere.

Her old apartment, job.

No one had a forwarding

address or even knew

where on Earth she was from.

I tried to ask once, but I got interrupted.

I intentionally avoided

asking personal questions

to maintain emotional distance.

And...

How'd that work out for you?

Not so well.

Well, I don't know about

you, but I believe in fate,

and I believe in Sara.

And if he either has a say in the matter,

I think it won't be the last

time our little Bri sees

her Princess.

Get some sleep.

Cheers.

Oh, yeah.

Hey, can I help you find anything?

Yes, thank you.

My daughter's birthday is coming up,

and she loves bedtime stories.

But I'm afraid we've gone through all

the ones we already have.

Sounds familiar.

My books were in tatters

by the time I was four.

I have the perfect book for her.

It's bestselling Princess book.

She'll love it.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Cherry Creek, California.

So what do you think?

She lives in Cherry Creek, California.

I could kiss you.

I won't, but thank you.

Thank you so much.

Great.

Stalker.

LUCAS: Bri, darling.

Come quickly.

Bri, come quickly.

Where are you?

Is everything all right?

It will be, I hope.

Where's Bri?

Guess.

Oh, of course.

Your imagination can create anything.

A spider?

BOY [ON TV]: Yeah with,

like, eight hairy legs,

big fangs, and lots of eyes.

How would you like to go

see the real Princess Aria?

ALL [ON TV]: Yeah!

[SINGING] Because

you made me feel good.

Just like they do in Hollywood.

The only way that love should.

Yeah, you made me feel good, feel good.

Sun is shining.

All the stars aligning.

Yeah, you made me feel good.

Yeah, you made me feel

good, feel good, feel good.

All right, here we are.

This should be it.

Too fast.

Bri, you're running too fast.

OK.

[knock on door]

Good evening, sir.

Well, you must be the

famous Princess Bri.

It is a pleasure to finally meet you.

My little Princess talks

about you all the time.

You're even prettier than

you are in your picture book.

This is my daddy.

Oh, he is, huh?

Trust me, darling.

I know all about your daddy.

Right.

Allow me first to apologize

for parting with your daughter

under such unfortunate circumstances.

I am here... we are here after a

very long search to see Emilia,

if we may see her.

I would like to apologize

in person and ask her

beg her on my knees if needed if

she would consider coming back,

without her dress on this time.

No, I mean, sorry.

Fully clothed.

What I mean is no ball gown required.

No, you had your chance.

You blew it.

I did.

But please, if I may apologize in person

and ask her forgiveness.

Is that all you want to ask her?

I'm not sure.

I hear she says you're so smart.

No, you can't see her.

She doesn't live here.

When her book took off, she took off.

Oh, do you have her current address?

Yeah, I'm her dad.

Of course, I do.

Can I see my Emilia, pretty please?

Come on now.

That's just not fair.

Is that your 69 Z28?

Yes.

Yes, it is.

Yeah, my little Princess,

she brought me a...

A 69 rally sport SS.

Yeah, that's right.

Unmatched amalgamation

of power and beauty.

Yeah.

Hey, you ever heard of a sleepy cow?

No.

Well, I'm going to show you.

You too. I'm going to show.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

The store is closing soon.

So sorry about the rush.

Ms. Pratt is simply just

trying to get to everyone

who's been waiting in line.

So thank you so much for your patience.

Look at her.

Thank you.

What was your name?

Oh, that is a beautiful Princess name.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're so welcome.

Sign it to Princess Bri, please.

What are you doing on the

other side of the table?

Come here, girl.

Oh.

Room for one more over there?

Sorry.

I will still sign your book.

You Brits have so many names.

But I think I can remember.

Oh, it's mister... no, no no, sir, sir.

Sir Stubborn.

Kind of you to remember.

Moronic knucklehead of

the East End Knuckleheads.

Of course, the most

knuckleheaded of all.

Yes.

Well, Sir Stubborn Moronic Knucklehead

of the East End Knuckleheads,

what are you doing here?

I've come seeking your forgiveness.

[laughs] I'm sure with your good looks

and your fancy accent, you're used

to getting whatever you want.

Once upon a time, perhaps.

If I were to give you

this forgiveness that you

are seeking, then what?

It is in my nature to want more.

What more is there?

An invitation.

To a special event.

A very special event.

Sorry.

Where was I?

You were inviting me to

a very, very special event.

Right, very special,

very exclusive, never to be

missed event.

Well, when you say it like that.

How could I say no?

And you don't have to wear

a dress if you don't want to.

[laughter]

Well, to be honest, I

kind of miss the dresses.

Well, I'm very happy to hear that.

Why?

Because I have the absolutely

perfect dress in mind for you.

According to God's

laws of Holy matrimony,

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

In the name of the Father, and

of the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

You may kiss the Princess.

[SINGING] He puts worse

in my hair and tells

me that I'm pretty.

No one's ever said it like that.

It makes me feel so happy.

He says you can trust me.

So I follow him.

Right to this place

where our story begins.

Inside our own little snow globe.

Everything is perfect.

Time doesn't know that we're here now.

And it's just the way we like it.

We're falling fast, dancing slow.

Sun shining through the window.

It's glitter and gold.

I still get butterflies.

Every time when he leans in to kiss me.

Not afraid to fall too far.

'Cause I know he'll catch me.

He says you can trust me.

So I let go.

Breathing in as he pulls me close.

Inside our own little snow globe.

Everything is perfect.

Time doesn't know that we're here now.

And it's just the way we like it.

We're falling fast, dancing slow.

Sun sunshine in through the window.

It's glitter and gold.

Glitter and gold.

Music playing.

It's beautiful.

Inside our own little snow globe.

Everything is perfect.

Time doesn't know that we're here now.

And it's just the way we like it.

We're falling fast, dancing slow.

Sun shining through the window.

It's glitter and gold.

Glitter and gold.

Glitter and gold.

Welcome to Arcadia.

Be whatever you want to be.

While you're in Arcadia.

Be a lion or a bird in a tree.

It's a magical space.

You can go any place if

you use your creativity.

Arcadia is in you and me

I'll pretend to be a puppy.

With a wiggly and squiggly tail

I'll pretend to be a turtle.

With a big old roundish shell

I'll pretend to be a spider...

PRINCESS ARIA: A spider?

BOY: Yeah, with like eight hairy legs,

big fangs, and lots of eyes.

PRINCESS ARIA: Um,

how about a ninja?

BOY: Ninja!

ALL: Yeah!

I said cut.
