Prince and the Surfer, The (1999)

Post by bunniefuu »

(gentle serene music)

- Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer

swears they will keep mum

about this and they wished

they may drop down dead

in their tracks if they ever tell or rat.

Can you imagine?

Hi, I'm Jon Voight,

and you may know me from

some of the roles I've played

in movies such as "Mission

Impossible," "Varsity Blues."

But what you may not know is

that I'm a concerned father.

I know how important it is

to give our children

good viewing materials.

My friends at Paul Family Films

have taken these classic

stories of Mark Twain,

these stories that we've all grown up on

and we've learned to love,

and they've put a modern twist on them.

And I know that you're gonna

find them charming and amusing,

and most importantly,

that they still carry

the most precious and

cherished values of yester year

that should serve as a legacy

for all future generations.

- [Narrator] So hey, how

you doing? All right.

I want to tell you this story

I heard from my grandfather

who heard it from his grandfather,

who heard it from, oh, uh,

somebody, I forget.

Oh, right from his grandfather.

Anyway, it's about these

two dudes who were so alike,

they should have been brothers.

I mean, they were brothers.

No, no, no.

They were supposed to be

brothers. That's right.

But when they were born,

there was this really big mess up

and they were born to

two different families.

This one dude who was, like,

a totally awesome surfer,

was born in this mellow little town

of Palm Bay, California,

while the other one was born

in a much more royal kind of place.

- Good morning, my dear Prince Edward.

(Baumgarten claps)

I have spoken with your mother, the queen.

- Please. Is it good news?

- Oh, I, I don't know if I should say.

It was given to me in complete confidence.

- As are your midnight

visits to the royal kitchen.

- A master negotiator already.

- A lesson learned from my father.

- God rest his soul.

Your mother, the queen, has decided

that you shall accompany her

on the first historic visit

of the Gelfland nobility

to the United States of America.

- Oh, how joyous.

- I knew you would be pleased.

- I have dreamed of such an

excursion since I was a child.

- That long?

- They say that America's

the land of opportunity,

the home of the brave.

Give me your tired.

Your poor. Your huddled masses.

- Yearning to breathe free.

- I wish to see it all, Minister Kratski,

from the Redwood Forest

to the Gulfstream waters.

- You are a young man now, Prince Edward.

The heir to your father's throne.

- Yes, but Minister, I merely-

- Gelfland must be your only concern.

If we cannot obtain an

international trade partner,

our economy faces complete financial ruin.

- I will not let Gelfland down, Minister.

- I know you will not, my Prince.

- Perhaps the minister has a point.

After all, I understand that

this California province

that we plan to visit

is a cultural wasteland

and its people are tediously common.

- We are all God's children, my Prince.

And I must believe

that these people of

America are just like us.

(gentle acoustic guitar music)

- Good morning, dad.

- Hey, good morning, Cash. How are you?

- Man, what a day out there.

Nice waves, smooth, long swells.

Perfect for old timer long

boarders, like yourself.

- Old timer?

Who you calling old timer?

Tell you what, I still got the moves.

Bet I can show you a

thing or two out there.

- Yeah, that so?

- Yeah.

Ooh.

All right.

Back when I was a kid,

we'd go surfing when the

water was 50 degrees.

- Yeah.

- That's right.

Big five-o.

50 degrees and we didn't need

no sissy wetsuits either.

- Right.

- Okay. I'll tell you what. Here.

- Thank you.

- Next time you got

time, we'll do a session.

All right?

See you if can cramp the old man's style.

- Hey, dad, you should, uh,

check out today's business section.

There's this, uh, new

company that just went public

called Funlimited.

- Limited Fun?

- No, they're Funlimited.

See, they design, like, amusement parks

and virtual reality game centers,

golf resorts, stuff like that.

- Okay, Cash. What's the scheme this time?

- It's not a scheme, dad.

Solid money making venture.

I mean, man, we clear a

couple hundred bucks a week,

stick that money into

Funlimited, watch it expand.

And boom.

- Boom?

- Boom. Easy money, man.

I mean, we get on the board of Funlimited,

and we design our own amusement centers.

I'd be in charge of Surf Land and hey,

you were the best cop in the

history of Palm Bay, right?

You could be in charge of Super Cop Land.

- Super Cop Land. (laughs)

- We live out our years

in a 10 room beach house

at The Bahamas, huh, huh?

- [Johnny] Styling then, huh?

- [Cash] Hey, uh, you

check the want ads today?

- You know I already got a job.

- Well, yeah, but it doesn't quite match

the excitement of being

a cop now, does it?

- Now, don't kid yourself, son.

Selling insurance over the phone

is nothing but thrills and excitement.

- Yeah, well, I saw,

what about this job, huh?

Five star resort needs security officer.

- No, I don't think mom would like me

in that line of work anymore.

- Yeah, well, who am I

to argue with the dude

that can handle 60 degree surf?

- That was 50 degree surf. It

was the middle of the winter.

It was double overhead. No

wetsuits and no leashes.

Hey, Cash.

Thanks for coffee.

- Later, dude.

- Bahamas.

(bright orchestral music)

- And this is your suite, Prince Edward.

- The American Consortium

was quite gracious to

provide for our stay.

- Oh, yes.

This 500 acre resort consists

of 10 individual estates such as this.

Swimming pools, stables, golf course,

and something the

Americans call mini-golf.

- And your quarters, Minister.

Are they adequate for your needs?

- Oh, my needs are a mere trifle

compared to the welfare of our land.

- Gelfland will not simply

endure this economic crisis.

It will grow and prosper.

We will see to it.

- This is just like my room at home.

- (sighs) Excuse us.

- They simply moved my

furniture from the castle.

- Minister thought it,

it would put you at ease

to be in familiar, surroundings.

A home away from home.

- Wonderful.

It's as if we never even left.

- Edward, tell me your troubles.

- No, my Queen.

I know that you have enough

to worry about as it is.

- Well, the queen

and the prince just left the room

and only a concerned mother

and unhappy son remain.

- I know that this journey

is of utmost importance

to our country.

But... (sighs)

Is it wrong for me to wish to see America?

(Queen laughs)

- No, no. It's not wrong.

I also wish I had time to

really experience this land.

- You do?

- Yes.

You know, we're very much the same.

Edward, when I was young

and I felt the weight of

the world on my shoulders,

I would venture out into the courtyard

hoping to find the path to my destiny

in the cold night air.

- Where will I find my destiny then?

- My son, I have a feeling

your destiny will find you.

- Halt.

Leave them closed.

(tense brooding music)

- Hey, man. Aren't you

supposed to be somewhere?

- Aren't you?

- Hey, what's going on, guys?

- Cash, what's up, man?

- [Friend] How's it going, man?

- [CT] Saw you catch

some nice waves today.

- Yep. Hey, so what's going on?

- Same old.

Still trying to decide

whether or not to have brunch

in Beverly Hills or hang

out with them supermodels

that keep calling us.

- Yeah, tough choice, dude.

- Yeah, well, we can

always do the same thing

we did yesterday.

- Hang out and do nothing?

- Bingo.

- Great, man.

- Well, you figure

something out then, man.

- I don't know.

There must be some way we

can make some cash, you know?

Do something.

- [CT] Yeah? Like what?

- I don't know.

We gotta get out of Palm

Bay, all right, dude?

And start a surf shop in

Australia or, I don't know,

a skate park in Europe somewhere.

I don't know, anything.

- What, man, and leave all

this excitement? (scoffs)

Well, well, if it ain't

sweet, little Melissa.

- What's my name?

- Uh, darling Melissa.

Okay. Mel, Mel, your name's Mel.

- You're the toughest dude I know, Mel.

- Thanks. I think.

- Hey, why weren't you out

surfing on dawn patrol?

- Uh, I couldn't find my wetsuit.

- Wetsuit?

No, I once surfed in 40 degree waters

with only my trunks on.

- Sure.

- Would you believe 50 degrees?

You two want a ride?

Plenty of room on the board.

(car thuds)

(horn beeps)

- If you dented it, you die.

Hey, it's trash Canty.

- What do you think of my new car?

- Well, it's shiny on the outside,

but it breaks down a lot

and makes a lot of noise

and it's slower than it looks,

so I guess it reminds me of you.

- At least I don't have to push

with my feet to make it go.

(engine revs)

(tires screech)

- Some guys, they get whatever they want

whenever they want it.

- Trash Canty. Actually

that's pretty funny.

- Yeah, well, not as funny

as, uh, sweet little Melissa.

(upbeat pop music)

- You ever work security?

(fly buzzing)

- Well, not security per se,

but for 10 years I was a-

- You've held several different

jobs over the past year.

- What's up with that?

- Drinking problem?

- No.

- Drugs?

- No, of course not. Look,

my record's right there.

- Violence.

- Wife beater, right?

- (sighs) No, my wife

passed away two years ago.

- You're not the one who, uh, you know...

- No.

- Hey, this is law enforcement, Canty.

We have to ask these things.

- We get big people

here at Windsor Resort.

Big people.

- Millionaires.

- Movie stars.

- Hey, we got a queen

staying here right now.

A prince too.

- A queen.

- That's right.

- She's got the crown and everything.

- She does?

- It's why we're beefing up security.

- And danger could be

lurking around any corner

of this resort, Canty.

That's why as a security agent,

you must engage all five senses.

Hearing, seeing.

- Smelling, tasting.

- And hearing.

(flies buzzing)

- You see, Canty, a

guy like you maybe, uh,

maybe you've gone a little soft.

Maybe your senses aren't quite as sharp.

- Maybe you're just not

security guard material.

(Johnny laughs)

- Yeah, yeah.

Maybe you're right.

- Maybe we are.

- Maybe.

- But I gotta tell you something.

I mean, I can tell just

by looking at you guys

right off the bat, that

this is a crack operation.

Oh, yeah.

I mean, the surveillance equipment is,

it's advanced.

And this technique you have,

I'll tell you, it's state of the art.

Yeah, yeah.

Even with all my years

in the police force,

I've never seen such professionalism.

- Police force?

- Wait a minute, you were a cop?

- Yeah. 10 years.

Detective.

Robbery, homicide.

- Detective.

- Yeah, uh, look, Canty,

we've decided to reconsider

your application for employment

for a trial period.

- Welcome aboard.

- Well, that was great.

Now let's try this.

The United States of America-

- 42 presidents.

- The shortest term was held-

- William Henry Harris.

- It lasted only-

- 30 days.

- Because he had-

- Pneumonia.

- Please do not take offense, my Prince,

but I no longer wish to play with you.

- Excellent, then let us

go outside for a walk.

- Minister Kratski says

that we must stay inside

and focus on your lessons.

Although I dare say you know more

about America than most Americans.

- I only know ink on a page.

Facts, figures, tallest, highest, longest.

That will never equal

touching American soil,

walking the American streets,

experiencing the American people.

- Sometimes in life

we are disappointed.

Consider the caterpillar

who longs to be a hawk.

- Let's say your

caterpillar forms a cocoon

at the base of a potted tomato plant

at the home of a botanist in France.

- Go on. Go on.

- The botanist travels on

holiday to the United States.

He stands on the shore

of the Pacific Ocean

holding the potted plant

with the attached cocoon.

- Interesting.

- The butterfly never

saw the Pacific Ocean.

Therefore, it cannot relay

to others its experiences.

Therefore, it was as if

it was never truly there.

- You win.

Let's go.

- Yes.

(bright orchestral music)

(gentle suspenseful music)

- You were told to remain in your room.

- My only intention was to experience

how the people of this country live.

All I want is to see America.

- And America you shall see, my son.

- My Queen.

- I have been invited

to the Palm Bay Aquarium

and I would like Edward

to go in my place.

- Is that safe?

I am, uh, worried that, uh,

the prince might be exposed

to the dangers and vices.

- Soon Edward will be king. Your king.

And he needs to learn

about the responsibilities

that come with representing

his country abroad.

- Perhaps you are right.

It may be time for him

to stretch his wings.

- There is a condition.

- For the opportunity

to catch even a glimpse

of this country, I shall do anything.

- Well, you must share your limousine

with your betrothed, Lady Galina

and her aid Constance.

(waves crashing)

(seagulls cawing)

- I can't see anything.

- What is there to look at?

Just a lot of idiotic, insipid Americans.

- I do not believe that

is an appropriate attitude

from a visitor to a

foreign land, Lady Galina.

- And I do not believe

that it is appropriate

for a boorish fellow like

yourself to reprimand my lady.

- Is that so, Constance?

- Yes, that is so, Baumgarten.

- Extended periods in the

warm sun have evidently

deteriorated what little

brains and personalities

these Americans may have had, anyway.

- Perhaps as an experiment,

you should step out of this

automobile to determine

if this warm sun could

melt the block of ice

encasing your heart.

- What a grand idea.

I would have you open the door for me,

but I wouldn't want to be responsible

for blistering those tender,

girlish hands of yours.

- Lady Galina.

- Baumgarten.

- Constance.

- Edward.

- [Everyone] Silence.

(Edward sighs)

(upbeat rock music)

- [Cash] So what are we gonna do now?

- I dunno. Same old.

- Same old? Come on.

We gotta do something new here.

- Ah, CT will be here any minute.

- Yeah, right, he won't

have any ideas. Come on.

- What's up?

- What's up, CT? How's it going?

Hey, what's that?

- Oh yeah, I saw that in the news today.

Something about a prince

and a queen or something

visiting Palm Bay.

- Really? Where are they from?

- I don't know. I changed the

channel for the surf report.

- [Cash] Come on, you don't

know where they're from?

- I do.

From the capital city of

What Difference Does It Make

in the country of Who Cares Land.

- Fine, but look, you guys,

there's other places in this world

besides Palm Bay, all right?

And they have awesome stuff like castles

and kings and queens.

- Speaking of queens, my

brother said he could hook us

up over there at El Burrito Queens.

- Great.

- Oh, excellent.

I'll be covered in zits

by the end of the summer.

- Come on.

- Yo, man. That's what I'm talking about.

You know, I'm not gonna

spend the rest of my life

in this town making

beef and bean burritos,

when there's a whole world

of opportunity out there.

- Yeah, well, maybe we

don't have to make burritos.

- Yeah, that's it. Keep talking, CT.

(gentle orchestral music)

(sun roof whirring)

- Lady Galina, what are you doing?

- Galina.

(upbeat rock music)

- Serfs, peasants, cretins.

Wow.

- Wow.

- Man, no one listens to me anyway.

- Come on, Cash.

(upbeat rock music)

- Hey.

(club members exclaiming)

(gentle whimsical music)

(gentle suspenseful music)

- Oh, yeah.

Now this is what I'm talking about.

(Cash laughs)

Hello? Princess?

- Baumgarten, is that you?

- Uh, no, it's your bellboy, me.

I got your lunch.

- Ah, please do be certain that the port

has exactly two pinches of cinnamon.

The previous servant

only brought one pinch.

- All right.

Uh, it smells like two to me.

- Excellent. And I expect

it to be piping hot.

- Uh, by the way, your

High Royal Prince guy,

you wouldn't happen to know which suite

the princess is staying in would you?

- Simply walk into the the hall

and follow the nearest

blast of Arctic air.

- Uh, thanks. I guess.

- Wait, you've forgotten your-

- Sorry, dude, I forgot my board.

(whimsical music)

- Astonishing.

- Totally.

- We are nearly identical.

- Yeah, it's like we're

clones or something.

But you're not from around here.

You're, you're definitely

from out of town.

- I am the prince of Gelfland.

- Cool.

- And you, are you employed

at this resort as a servant?

Your clothes, they,

they do not seem to fit.

Your tailor should be

reprimanded immediately.

- Uh, no, dude.

It's supposed to be like that.

It's, it's a surfer thing.

- A surfer. A real American surfer?

What is your life like?

- It's a real hoot, Prince.

- And your name?

- Tom. Tom Canty.

But my friends call me Cash, 'cause, uh,

we're gonna have a lot of it one day.

- How did you get here, Cash Canty?

- You're holding it, dude.

(Edward gasps)

- Champion.

I'd give anything to ride upon this.

- Go ahead.

- No, but I'm not allowed to leave here.

- You wanna ride it? Go out and ride it.

- But I...

- Don't be such a wuss.

- Prince Edward of Gelfland is not a wuss.

- Yeah.

(walkie-talkie buzzes)

- Yeah, we got a 47B in estate three.

- Armed intruder.

- Yeah, leaky faucet.

- Sounds like a job for the new guy.

- (laughs) Yeah, get on it.

One Adam 12, we got an officer down.

(walkie-talkie buzzes)

- What if someone should enter this suite

while you are occupied?

- You kidding? I'll be the man.

If somebody wants to come

in here, I'll just yell,

"Prince wants his privacy. Bite me."

Yeah.

- Yeah, I doubt I would utilize that

particular phraseology under

even extreme circumstances.

- Oh, all right then,

uh, what would you say?

- I would appear quite unhappy

then simply utter the word dismissed.

- Oh, okay, cool.

Well, if anybody downstairs

gives you any problems,

you can just say whatever.

- Say whatever comes to mind.

- Uh, no.

"Whatever."

- Whatever?

- Whatever.

- Whatever.

- Whatever.

- Uh, whatever?

- Dismissed. (clears throat)

- Hey, you.

You think you can sneak around here

without my knowing about it?

You got another thing coming, my friend.

- I'm merely going for a stroll.

- All right, that does it.

I need backup here in

sector one immediately.

Do you copy?

- Sir, sir, really I-

- Dean.

- It's not...

- Look, just get lost, kid.

Before I have to throw

your sorry butt in to jail.

- Uh, yes, yes.

I, I will get lost to explore this land,

this land that I love.

I will climb upon my skateboard

and roll right into the heart of America.

- Go.

- Yes.

(Edward thuds)

- Ooh.

(Edward exhales sharply)

- Perhaps I shall walk

into the heart of America.

(gentle bright music)

- Whatever.

Dean.

Dean?

(Cash laughs)

Oh, man.

(electric blues guitar music)

(traffic rumbling)

(horns beeping)

- Dun, dun, dun.

You're going down, Prince Cash.

I don't think so, Dougie.

You're going down.

(Cash singing)

Dismissed.

Dismissed.

Dismissed.

(bright energetic music)

(cans rattling)

(Edward gasping)

- [Alarm] Step away from the car.

(alarm blaring)

- Oh, yes, this must be the problem.

This must be jammed in this

spot. Let me get this off here.

Hello, yes.

Oh, um, hmm.

I see why you might be upset,

but understand that there's

no harm taking place here.

We're being rational American

citizens who understand

our finest judiciary concepts

of innocent until proven guilty.

Whatever?

(tense brooding music)

(Edward groans)

(tense suspenseful music)

(alarm blaring)

- [Melissa] Cash, are you okay?

- I believe my head has

suffered a contusion

based on the impact.

- No, we gotta jam.

Whoa.

Come on, let's go.

Run, you spaz.

(tense suspenseful music)

Run.

- My lady, surely you jest.

- [Melissa] Why are you talking so weird?

- Nothing will get me on that wheel board

for a suicidal journey

down that concourse.

- Wanna bet?

- Whoa!

(tense suspenseful music)

(Edward shouting)

(Edward crashes)

(door knocks)

- Oh, Minister, please come in.

What can I do for you?

- What's this my guards

tell me about a disturbance?

- Oh, that. That.

That was nothing.

It was just a minor

incident. Some local kid.

Listen, you have nothing to worry about.

We have your back covered.

- Well, from this moment on, we will, uh,

watch our own back.

Thank you.

- Sir.

If I may, our security staff is,

well, they're very capable.

Tell you the truth, I

would feel much better

if I could work with your

guards to keep you safe.

- How you and your inept

band of merry men feel

is not my concern.

- I see.

Okay, I'll level with you.

I used to be a cop.

And, you know, the only people who didn't

want us around were the people

who had something to hide.

- But, um, you are not a cop now, are you?

- No, I'm not.

- Well, then why don't you be a good boy

and go back to your post

and let the experts protect the royals?

Good day.

- You're royal all right.

You're a royal pain in the...

(gentle menacing music)

- My dear sir.

In order for our deal with

Funlimited to be consummated,

I shall of course

require the payment to be

in Gelfland bills.

- Oh, what's up, guys?

(gentle whimsical music)

Prince says right hand up.

Prince says left hand up.

Prince says right foot up.

Prince says hop up and down.

Prince says shake it. Yeah.

Prince says slide.

Prince says slide.

Right foot up.

Dang. You guys are good.

(hands smack)

- One might have given me instructions

on how to properly stop

this hellish contraption.

- Don't be such a wuss.

You stopped, once you hit the lawn

and the tree and the

fence and the rose bushes.

- The people of this land

certainly seem a bit...

Testy.

- This land?

What is wrong with you?

- Wrong? What do you mean?

- You've been talking like some geek

out of a Shakespeare play.

- No, no. I'm Cash.

Cash Canty.

Typical American boy.

Um, that is, dude.

- Well, at least you made it home.

(helicopter whirring)

(dog barking)

- Home.

- You wanna hang?

- Hang what?

- Okay, you want me to bail?

- Uh, whatever.

- Fine.

Whatever.

Take an aspirin and maybe

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

(Edward stammering)

- Also, I have scheduled our first meeting

with the director of the

American Trade Consortium.

- Excellent.

I will stress that I

will accept no charity

nor surrender autonomy.

- Rest assured that I

shall express your wishes

to the consortium.

But...

Your task, my Queen,

should be to generate publicity

for our cause.

- Is that more important

than my attending the negotiations?

- Well, in many ways, yes, my Queen.

You see, the Americans

will not vote for trade

with a land which they

fear potential hostilities.

And to the American public,

you are Gelfland, my Queen.

And everything that you do

while you are visiting here

should reflect positively upon our land.

- (sighs) For Gelfland.

- Yes.

Very wise, my Queen. Very wise indeed.

Breakfast with the Palm

Bay Historical Society

at seven o'clock.

Then a tour of the Natural

History Museum at 10:15,

lunch with the delegates

from the Association of w*r Widows, 12:35.

At 2:20, photos with the mayor.

At 3:45, you are responsible

for hosting c*ck

with the North American

Trade representatives.

This evening's event will involve...

(gentle pensive music)

- [Cash] I'm old enough to dress myself.

Be gone.

- My Prince.

(door knocks)

My Prince, is there something wrong?

- I look like my crazy Aunt Beatrice.

- You do not have a crazy Aunt Beatrice.

You have a crazy Uncle Beatrice.

But we are not to speak of that one.

- Look, Boomgarden.

- Baumgarten, my Prince.

- Yeah. Whatever.

- Are you feeling well?

- Well, look, it's been fun and all,

but I need to tell you that

I mean, I'm really, really-

- I hope you're happy, you royal buffoon.

Because you probably whined like a baby

about what happened in the limo,

your mummy's little puppet boy Kratski

banished us to our rooms.

Now I have to stare at

your whiny little face.

(door slams)

- She digs me.

- You were about to say that

you're not really, really what?

- I'm really, really looking forward

to a cool, um, pleasant week.

- Perhaps we should

call the royal physician

and have him give you a complete physical.

- Um, dismissed.

(answering machine beeps)

- [Johnny] Oh, hi, um, this is dad.

Um, I guess you'll be happy

to know I, I got that job

at the Windsor Resort.

Unfortunately, I'll be working all night.

All right, you stay safe, son.

(answering machine beeps)

(phone rings)

- [Answering Machine] Hello,

you've reached the Cantys.

You know what to do. Bye.

(answering machine beeps)

- [Cash] Uh, hey, Dad. It's me.

I'm just calling to say

that everything's cool

and I'm gonna be spending

the night at my friend,

um, Eddie's.

I'll see you later. Bye.

(answering machine beeps)

(dog barks)

(gentle melancholic music)

(Queen gasping)

- Edward?

(Queen sighs)

Sleep well, my son.

(gentle melancholy music)

(gentle sanguine music)

(Queen laughs)

- (chuckles) I'll tell you what,

I'm gonna give you a 9.5 for the twirl,

but not gonna get gold

'til you nail that landing.

(Queen laughs)

- Thank you.

- No, I'm the one who

should be thanking you.

- Why?

- You're the first person

who's smiled at me all day.

- Oh, that's hard to believe.

- Well, you know, being a security guard,

it's one of those invisible jobs.

People don't really see

you 'til they need you.

- Oh, I'm sure they need you all the time.

- Well, actually today I did respond

to several code 47Bs.

- Really?

- Yeah, that's the truth.

- Well...

I've gotta go.

- Twirl on back to your room.

Watch the landings. (laughs)

All right?

- Wait a minute.

What's your name?

- My name?

- Where I'm from, when one saves a lady,

one tells a lady his name.

- Johnny. Johnny Canty.

- Well, it's, it's nice

to meet you Mr. Canty.

- So are you with the

people from Gelfland?

- Yes.

- Do you work for the queen?

- Yes. I, I am, uh,

her personal assistant.

- Did you know that in America

when a guy risks life and

limb to save a beautiful lady

from certain danger, not

to mention embarrassment,

it's customary for the lady

to tell the gentleman her name.

(Queen sighs)

- Abby.

Abby, uh, Royal.

- Abby Royal.

- I have to go.

It's nice meeting you.

- Goodnight.

Nice to meet you, Abby Royal.

- Gentlemen, this is truly

an historic occasion.

The perfect example of corporate

and governmental synergy.

Funlimited was looking to

create the ultimate resort.

A haven for the privileged

class to celebrate

the sport of kings and Gelfland.

Gelfland was saddled with the remnants

of a soft and ineffectual monarchy.

Was, to be candid, looking for a bailout.

And now once we have, um, removed

the approximately 4,000

homes and townships

from our westernmost tip,

you will be free to break ground

and transform the failure of Gelfland

into the future of A Golfland.

(upbeat rock music)

- [Operator] Windsor Grand Estates.

How may I direct your call?

- Yes, estate number five, please.

I would like to speak with

Prince Edward of Gelfland.

- [Operator] Your name, sir?

- Uh, my name?

Well, um, Cash. Cash Canty.

- [Operator] That line's restricted.

(dial tone buzzes)

- Hello?

Hello?

Pardon me, madame.

Would you happen to know where

breakfast is being served?

- Served?

- Well, yes.

I see several commoners eating their meals

and I was wondering where

I could be attended to.

- Excuse me. Who are

you calling a commoner?

You smarty a*s surfer punk?

- Hey, what's up, Di?

- Does this punk hang with your crew?

- Mm, yeah, what can I say?

We haven't got him quite trained yet.

- Well, I'll tell you what,

you keep working at it.

So, uh, how's your mom?

- Ah, she's cool. You're

coming on Saturday, right?

- Definitely. Okay, I'll check you.

- Later.

- (sighs) Thank you.

Twice now you have appeared

as from the heavens

to save my life.

- Twice? Oh, come on, Cash.

I've known you since third grade

when you barfed on my Keds.

- Yes, when I barfed on your Keds, miss...

Miss...

- Wow. You have lost it.

Mel. My name is Mel.

- Mel, yes, of course.

It is a decidedly odd name

for such a lovely young lady.

- Okay, now you're hallucinating.

- Mel, do not underestimate yourself.

In the time that I've known you,

I've witnessed your acts of intelligence,

resourcefulness, and compassion.

- Wow, that smack on the

head really freaked you out.

Okay, how many fingers am I

holding up and is it blurry?

- [Cash] A quiz?

- [Baumgarten] Shall I begin?

- I'm on the edge of my seat, B man.

- A common man finds a bag

filled with $4 million in cash.

- Huh?

- Cash.

- What do you mean by that?

- Money. Cash.

- Yeah, right, of course.

Right. Go ahead.

- Question. Should he keep it?

- Of course he keeps it.

Possession is 9/10 of the law.

Thy finders are thy keepers.

- Ma'am, you have exactly 30 minutes

until your tour of the museum.

- (sighs) More foolish

pomp and circumstance.

- Ma'am?

- I should be assisting the minister

in the negotiations of the consortium.

But no, I'm gonna be

surrounded by journalists

who fancy my photograph

because for some reason

they feel a woman is more attractive

with a crown than without.

If I were king, things

would be very different.

- Yes, Ma'am.

- What is that?

- It's an American

periodical, your Highness.

I confiscated it from Ms. Galina.

Photographs of impossibly thin women

dressed in something they

refer to as casual chic.

- This periodical is a fragrance.

- I believe there are

perfume samples within.

Minister Kratski was right.

This is a morally degenerated nation.

- Of course it is.

- Now why are you guys

always messing around?

- We want you outta here, punk.

- Well, we're kicking here.

Hey, man.

- [Bully] What's your problem, man?

- Hey, man, why don't you stop tripping?

- Hey, you owe me 200 bucks

for denting my mustang, Canty.

- I damaged your horse?

- It's over now, man.

- Uh, CT, There's something

I need to tell you.

- [CT] No one messes with Cash.

- Interesting.

Um, you seem to have all

of the material things

you could possibly desire.

However, your anger towards these people,

um, or rather towards us

seems to stem from your own insecurities.

(skateboard thuds)

If you are bored with having it all,

then perhaps the problem is

not with your social class.

- Shut up, trash.

- The problem is with you.

You are nothing but frightened cowards.

(tense suspenseful music)

(Edward groans)

(metal clangs)

- Whatever.

- Man, why'd you let him

push you around like that?

- CT, Cash is a little off his game.

He took a pretty big spill

yesterday. Are you okay?

- Hey, Cash.

I gotta tell you, man,

you look pretty pathetic

letting that dude walk all over you.

- Why don't you shut up, CT?

Kicking that loser's butt

doesn't mean we win anything.

Didn't you just hear what Cash said?

- No, I couldn't hear.

I was too busy watching

his face hit the pavement.

- Please, do not argue.

- If I would've known

Cash was gonna sketch out,

I would've dropped that dude.

- Really, you do not understand.

- [CT] Oh, really?

- From where I stood, you were

too busy wetting your pants

to do much of anything about it.

- You want some of this?

- I'm gonna bury you.

- I'm not Cash Canty.

- What?

- What?

- I am Prince Edward of Gelfland.

It is a long story,

but essentially your friend Cash and I

have exchanged identities.

- Oh, I see.

So that's why you said all

those sweet things about me

because you're not Cash,

you're not yourself.

- Well, in a sense, yes, you are correct.

Ow.

- You're a jerk.

You finally say something nice about me

and you make a big joke about it.

- Miss Mel, I really am

the Prince of Gelfland.

- You're a jerk, Cash.

- Miss Mel, please wait.

Miss Mel, wait.

(gentle serene music)

(birds chirping)

- [Queen] Hi.

- Abby.

- Wow, what a surprise.

- Wow.

Oh, you're stunning.

No, really. You do. You look great.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- I was, um...

Thanks, I was, I was going

for casual chic. (laughs)

- Tell you what, you nailed it.

- Thanks.

- So, uh...

Are you here by yourself?

Or, that's not what I mean.

Does your husband also

work for the royal family?

- Oh, oh, no.

He, uh, well, he, he used

to, but he, he passed on.

- Oh, sorry. No, I understand.

My wife, she passed.

- Oh.

- I suppose you're pretty busy right now

since you're working for the queen.

Uh, do you need a break?

- A break?

Yes, I, I need a break.

Do you need a break?

I mean, uh, maybe we could,

maybe you take your break

when I take my break.

- My shift just ended.

(Queen laughs)

- Good.

- Okay, now it's my turn.

- Go ahead.

- Which great king said,

"A kingdom governed by fear must collapse.

But a kingdom guided by compassion

will surely survive."

- King Arthur.

- No, your father, the late King James.

- Oh, yeah, of course.

I mean, he used to tell

me that all the time.

- He made that speech

before you were born.

- I saw it on video?

- My Prince, there is-

- All right, now it's my turn.

You gotta try it.

- Oh, I, I don't know if

I could the, the smell.

- Look, after the butler risked his life

to smuggle this in here, you

better give it a try, man.

(tense menacing music)

- Flat, smelly and greasy.

- My lady.

I can explain everything.

- Not to worry, Baumgarten.

I was referring only to the prince's hair.

- Care to join us? Um,

Baumgarten was just leaving.

- I was just leaving.

(Galina sighs)

- How disgusting. Breaking

bread with your servant.

You don't have any class at all, do you?

- Maybe that's what keeps

you coming back for more.

You're attracted to the bad boy in me.

- Ha. Don't make me laugh.

- Hey.

You can play the ice

princess all you want.

I'm not impressed.

(door slams)

- Well, I never had anything that exciting

happen with, with Edward except the time

when he was a young boy and

he thought he was a bird

and he wanted to fly out of the window.

- (laughs) Hope he didn't attempt it.

- No, no, I just told him

to wait 'til he was 16

and he'd get his own jet.

(Johnny chuckles)

- Yeah, yeah.

- I, I was just kidding.

- I know.

(Queen laughs)

- Uh, may I ask you something?

- Anything.

- What is mini-golf?

(bright upbeat music)

- So what brought on this drastic change

in your, for lack of a

better word, personality?

- The smog. I think it

causes temporary amnesia.

- Sounds like an improvement.

- Wow. You really don't dig me, do you?

- If that as*ault on the English language

means that I detest you,

then yes, you are correct.

- But why? I mean, look at

all this cool stuff I got.

And I'm a prince.

I mean, doesn't everybody

love a cool prince?

- Okay.

I will play along with your amnesia.

One of the many reasons why I dislike you

is because upon your 18th birthday,

you and I are to be married.

- Married? Like, married, married?

- Not, like, married, married.

Really married, married. (sighs)

- How do you know you're

gonna wanna get married?

How do you know you're even

gonna like me in a couple years?

- My point, exactly.

- Ah, and that's why you hate the prince.

I, I mean me.

- I hate being told what to do,

how to act, what to think,

and especially who to love.

- Then why do you do it?

- Because those are the

ways of Gelfland royalty.

The laws of Gelfland never change.

- That's harsh.

Who says that the laws

of Gelfland can't change?

- What do you mean?

- Well, I'm saying let's

slap down one of those laws

right here, right now.

- You can't be serious.

Minister Kratski was adamant about-

- I thought you didn't

like being told what to do.

- Is that a dare, Prince Edward?

- You bet your sweet tiara.

(bright ethereal music)

(waves crashing)

- What are you doing here?

- Melissa, wait.

- Get the hint. Leave me alone.

- Earlier I was just trying to explain-

- Go, get lost.

- I am simply trying to explain

why I'm acting differently.

- I know why.

Look, it doesn't matter

how hard you hit yourself

in the head.

You can't just bring someone in closer

to push them away again.

Hey, what are you doing?

Give me that. Give me that.

- You, you drew those beautiful pictures?

- Oh, not only does he use big words,

now he's a keen sense of observation.

- I, I did not know

that you were an artist.

- Yeah, well, add that

to the list of stuff

that nobody knows about Mel Hendrick.

- Have you had arts instruction?

- No, some things you learn by just doing.

- Then making mistakes,

that is part of the process.

- I suppose so.

- Then I want to learn the right things

to say to you, Miss Mel.

The things to make you smile,

to help you realize what a

wonderful young woman you are.

- And I'm supposed to believe this?

- Please believe it, because it is true.

- And how long will this last?

- Uh, I will not be in

the city for much longer.

- No, I know.

You have to move on to bigger

and better opportunities.

What's going on with us?

Why is everything changing between us?

- As I told you, I'm

not who you think I am.

- Oh, please.

- As you wish.

- Would you just stand still a minute?

(gentle bright music)

(Queen and Johnny laugh)

- It's a good-

- After watching you

play, give me a break.

- It's a good thing we

were not playing polo

because you would be a

dead man by now. (laughs)

- Abby, I would love to take you

someplace really special.

A real date. No more corn dogs.

I swear. Sorry.

(Queen laughs)

- I'd love that.

- Yeah. All right.

Well, I happen to know this

great little restaurant.

Really, it's, it's just right down here.

It's on the beach. We could,

uh, put our feet in the sand.

Smell the ocean, listen to the waves.

- That sounds so romantic.

- Great. I'm off tomorrow night.

- I'm, um, I'm leaving tomorrow night.

- Tonight then.

- You sure?

- I'm, I've never been sure about anything

like I am about this.

I'll pick you up at your room tonight.

- Great.

- Great.

- No, um, I'm gonna meet

you right here tonight.

- Listen, Abby, I'd

feel much better if I...

- I'll be here tonight.

I wouldn't miss it.

- Neither would I.

(Queen laughs)

(tense brooding music)

(door creaks)

- Hey, Vince, that you? Listen.

I was wondering if I could start my shift

an hour later tonight.

- Now why is that, Mr.

Canty? Got a hot date?

- Uh...

What are you doing here?

- Just a little light reading

about Queen Albertina of Gelfland.

But I believe you know

her better as, um, Abby.

Abby. Such a ridiculously common name.

But then again, that is her game.

- What is this?

What game?

- Well, the queen is a bit,

uh, restless, I'm afraid.

With unlimited money and

power at her disposal,

she tends to get a bit bored.

She lays that boredom by seeing

how many unsuspecting men

she can seduce by pretending

to be someone else.

Evidently, she likes to,

as you Americans say, go slumming.

In Rome, it was a garbage man.

In Paris, a busboy, in Milan-

- All right. That's enough.

- What? No thank you?

I just saved you a great deal

of embarrassment and humiliation.

- (sighs) Yeah.

Yeah.

And I'm sure you did it out

of the goodness of your heart.

(Kratski chuckles)

- [Melissa] All your

talk about opportunity

and getting outta Palm

Bay got me to thinking.

- Really?

- Yeah.

It'd be great to go study

art in Italy or Paris.

- Wow, yes. Then that's

what you should do.

- (scoffs) Right.

I'd have to work about 4,000

summers at El Burrito Queen

to afford it.

- There are other ways.

You should not give up your dreams.

- Dreams are great,

but sometimes you gotta

throw cold water on your face

and realize you have to

deal with the here and now.

- But what if the dream is

something you really want?

- What can I say?

Some fantasies are

meant to stay fantasies.

- Are you out of your mind, Canty?

- What are you talking about?

- What are we talking about?

- Eddie the groundskeeper says

you're fraternizing with the queen.

(Johnny chuckles)

- So?

- So. So what are you trying to do?

Start an international incident?

- All right. All right.

The first thing, I

didn't know that it was,

you know, the queen.

Really.

And second, uh...

All right. I just made a mistake.

It was a big mistake.

- You got that right.

- Meaning what?

- Meaning you're fired.

- You come anywhere near this resort,

especially anywhere near Queen Albertina,

and we will have you arrested my, friend.

- I knew you were bad news

the moment I laid eyes on you.

- You're just not security

guard material, are you?

- No, you're right.

Come here.

I'm cop material.

And after working with you guys,

I'd have to say that's a compliment.

Best compliment I've ever had.

- I think he meant it.

- Maybe he'll learn something.

(suspenseful music)

- Ow.

(Galina laughs)

- Where'd you get an arm like that?

- My great aunt, the

Duchess Moore had forearms

like a lumberjack.

(Cash grunts)

(Galina giggles)

(towel thwacking)

(Cash grunting)

- [Cash] All right, all right. Come on.

(gentle pensive music)

(gentle menacing music)

- [Operator] Windsor Grand Estates.

How may I address your call?

- Yes, estate number five, please.

- [Operator] Your name, sir?

- Um, this, this is

Prince Edward of Gelfland.

Please ring my suite immediately.

- No, you drop it, prince boy.

- Oh, no, no. You drop it.

(phone rings)

No, you drop it.

- I gotta get that.

- Okay. Go and get it.

- All right, But don't

nail me while I'm doing it.

- A ceasefire?

- Yeah, sounds like a cool idea.

- Are you questioning the word of a lady?

- Prince's room?

(towel thwacks)

- Hello? Hello?

- Hi. Who's this?

- Cash? Is this you?

- Uh, this is Prince Edward.

- Oh, I see. Someone is there with you.

Well, I must ask you,

is life as a prince as

you expected it to be?

- It's a lot different

than being a surfer.

- Yes, so I've learned.

- Edward.

- It's, it's just Baumgarten.

- It's just CT.

- Edward, where are you?

- Near the boardwalk with Miss Mel.

- If Mel hears you call

her miss, you're dead, man.

- I shall keep that in mind.

Cash, we, we should get

together as soon as possible.

- [Cash] Meet me here at the resort

first thing tomorrow morning.

- [Edward] All right, goodbye.

(gentle brooding music)

- Everything okay with Baumgarten?

- What?

Oh, yeah. Everything's cool.

- A prince and a surfer then.

We must not let them switch back.

Locate Edward on the

boardwalk and bring him to me

by whatever means necessary.

(tense menacing music)

- Well, yeah.

I better be going back

to my suite, you know,

before Constance pops a

blood vessel or something.

- Yeah, right.

Galina.

If I ever start acting different again,

uh, just, um...

- Just what?

What are you saying?

- Nothing.

I just want you to keep

having fun, being happy.

It works for you.

- Uh, you know that, that law

about you and I

getting married?

- Yeah.

- Edward.

It's starting to sound like a cool idea.

(gentle bright music)

(gentle pensive music)

- Well, I must go home now, Miss Mel.

- Okay.

What?

- Nothing, um, I'm just drawing a memory.

- Come here?

- Yes.

Goodbye.

Oh, uh. Well, this must mean

that my mother's found out.

Well, not to worry.

I was just on my way back to the resort.

(tense menacing music)

(Edward groans)

Really, I can walk.

(officer thuds)

(tense suspenseful music)

- Who are those guys?

- It is difficult to explain.

- Well, give it a try.

- Well, Miss Mel, the truth is that...

(tense brooding music)

(clock ticking)

- Waiting for someone, my Prince?

Or would you rather be referred to as, uh,

Cash Canty?

- Kratski, that traitor.

- We need a plan.

- I can't believe him.

- Get over it.

- How could he do this to us?

- Hey, snap out of it.

- Astonishing.

You are truly physically

indistinguishable from Prince Edward.

- Yeah, uh, well, you don't have to worry

about it anymore, Kratski.

It's over.

- [Kratski] Oh, is it?

- What do you want?

- Well, I admit it.

I admit it. I'm impressed.

Who would ever imagine a simple

young American surfer boy

could devise such an elaborate,

uh, political conspiracy?

- Whoa, man. It was

just meant to be a joke.

It was just for fun.

- Oh, a game?

- Yeah, a game. And now it's done.

- Yes, but, uh, it doesn't have to be.

Please, try it on.

Go ahead. Humor me.

You see, games always have

winners and losers,

but with your ingenuity and your ambition,

there's no reason why you

shouldn't be a winner too.

Please, sit.

This trade agreement will save Gelfland.

But I require the signature

of the queen and a prince.

And in a pinch, any prince will do.

- What about Edward?

- Oh, actually I spoke

to him this morning.

It seems our prince wishes

to remain here in America,

right where he is.

(Cash laughs)

- Uh, I don't know, Krats.

It seems like the real prince

should be signing this.

- As far as I'm concerned,

the real prince is sitting

in front of me now.

- You want me to move to Gelfland?

- Yes.

With riches beyond your imagination.

And Galina will be with you forever.

And no one, no one will ever have to know

your true identity.

- Wait...

Funlimited.

This isn't an agreement.

It's a sell out.

I won't do it.

I won't betray my friends

just to make myself rich.

And I especially won't

do it to make you rich.

- You, uh, you refuse to sign?

- Yeah.

(Kratski clears throat)

- Well, then.

What about this?

- Oh, where'd you get that?

- You have a friend I

believe, by the name of Mel.

- Where is she?

- Oh, not to worry. She's under my care.

But if you wish to see her alive again,

you will sign that document right here

and right now.

- If you hurt her-

- Oh, hurt her. (laughs)

We're practically on Gelfland soil here.

I can hurt anybody I wish.

- You sent for me, Minister?

- Anybody.

The prince is signing the trade agreements

between Gelfland and

the American Consortium.

By Gelfland law, we require a witness.

(gentle suspenseful music)

Thank you.

(Cash sighs)

Excellent. You may go now, Baumgarten.

Call the chairman at Funlimited.

Set the meeting

at the 13th hole of the mini-golf course.

- You're not returning

to Gelfland, are you?

- I see no reason to

continue wasting my talent

as a statesman playing nursemaid

to ungrateful royalty.

- So becoming a traitor's

the next best thing, huh?

- No.

Success is the best revenge, Mr. Canty.

And when I receive my $10

million from Funlimited,

perhaps I shall buy myself

a small island somewhere

and, uh, run it myself.

If he misbehaves, appropriate discipline.

- Ma'am?

- My Queen. I must request

a moment of your time.

- What is it, Minister?

- Just a few more documents

for your signature.

- All right.

- There.

Mm-hm. Thank you.

And right there.

Very good.

Oh, and, uh, just this one more, please.

- Funlimited? What is this?

- Huh.

Yes, well, that would be the, uh,

rental agreement for the resort.

It's a mere formality.

- Of course.

- It's such fun.

- [Baumgarten] How does

the game work, Lady Galina?

- Come on, Edward, show me what you got.

- Galina, I don't think

that's such a great idea.

(object thuds)

(officer thuds)

(Galina chuckles)

That was great you, guys.

- I don't know exactly what's going on.

- Who cares?

- I'll explain everything later.

First we gotta stop Kratski

from delivering the

contract to Funlimited.

Do you guys know if the queen

has signed the contract yet?

- I could ask Constance.

- Find her.

- Yes.

- Find Albertina. Tell her

not to sign the contract.

- Check.

- Kratksi's mine.

(phone rings)

- Security.

Oh my god.

- Trouble?

- Somebody just spotted

Canty in building four.

- He's going after the queen.

- This is a level one security alert.

You ready?

(device beeps)

Be careful out there.

- You are making a big mistake, Minister.

- By the time anyone

realizes what has happened,

I will be long gone

and $10 million richer.

And you, you and your pathetic royal clan,

you will be without a country.

- Who is this guy?

- I am not the same

Edward as I was before.

- Oh, you mean you're even

more of a wuss, hm? (chuckles)

Come on, now.

(gentle suspenseful music)

Hurry up, you idiots.

(tense menacing music)

(Mel sighing)

- That guy has some anger

issues he needs to work out.

- I'm am not a wuss.

Mom? Cash?

Hello, any-

- Hey, wait, what is going on?

- I can explain everything

later but now's-

- No, now.

- Not the time though.

I'm sorry.

- Are you pretending to like me too?

One second you're Cash

and the next minute you're the prince.

- Albertina?

Excuse me, have you seen-

Edward!

- Ma'am.

- I'm gonna find out what he's up to.

Get Baumgarten.

- Right away, Ma'am.

- Galina.

- Who is she?

- Who is she?

- I can explain everything.

- How dare you.

- Galina, wait, please.

Um, I'm sorry. We are to be married.

- Wait, what?

(suspenseful music)

- Hello?

(bright playful music)

- Come on. Open the gate.

- I thought you had the keys.

- Don't mess with me like that.

- Yeah, we're gonna need the key.

- Come on.

(suspenseful music)

- Did you see Albertina?

(fist thuds)

You could have just said no.

- Wait a minute.

How, how did you get out here so fast?

And why were you wearing those clothes?

- Albertina. Look, I'll

explain everything later.

- You'll explain everything

right this minute.

- My Prince, where are you going?

- Galina, what is wrong?

(suspenseful music)

- Galina, Cash.

- Wait.

- Is it me, or is something

really, really strange going on here?

- It's not you.

(tense suspenseful music)

- Hello.

Excuse me.

(gentle playful music)

- Well, looks like we

finally have the place

all to ourselves.

(tense suspenseful music)

- Mr. Chairman. (chuckles)

I have something for you

and, uh, you have something for me.

- Hey.

- It is not a good idea to startle someone

when they're about to mount an attack.

- An attack?

- Yes.

- Edward, I demand you

tell me what is going on.

- Galina, do you trust me?

- Stop.

What are you doing, Minister Kratski?

- Why, saving Gelfland, my Queen.

- I don't believe you.

- He's trying to save

himself, your Highness.

He wants to sell your country

out to the highest bidder

so they can tear it up and use

it for a cheesy golf resort.

- Traitor.

- Ridiculous. He's lying.

- He speaks the truth, mother.

Minister Kratski's betrayed us all.

He's nothing but a criminal.

- Abby.

- Johnny.

- Will you excuse me?

Abby, you and I, we need to talk.

- Oh, I, I would love to talk to you.

- What's going on?

- Go get them, you nit wits.

- My father taught me

that it is not sporting

to attack an unarmed man.

Hey, get off me. (grunting)

- Without my intervention,

the collapse of Gelfland was inevitable.

I was merely making the

best of a bad situation.

- You are merely a common thief.

(tense suspenseful music)

- Pardon me.

(slap thuds)

Never mess with a lady.

- Hey, didn't you hear what he said

about not attacking an unarmed man?

(blow cracks)

(Mel grunts)

- Farewell, my Queen.

- Abby, fore, fore him.

(Kratski groans)

(ba*ls thud)

Pretty good.

- Fools.

I asked them for Gelfland bills.

They gave me Golf Land ba*ls.

(gentle sanguine music)

- Edward?

- Cash.

- Cash?

- Edward.

- Wow.

- There are two of them.

- Two of them.

- Two.

(gentle bright music)

(group chattering softly)

(Kratski shouting)

- [Narrator] So that's the story.

Cash married Lady Galina,

and after they both graduated

from Stanford University with honors,

they opened a special

nationwide chain of surf shops.

They became Gelfland's

biggest trading partner

and even opened up the first

ever Gelfland surf shop.

After high school, Melissa

traveled with Edward

and studied in Europe and stuff,

and they opened Gelfland's

first ever art museum.

And on her 21st birthday, check this out,

Melissa married Prince Edward

and she started getting

called Princess Melissa.

Cool.

And finally Johnny Canty

married Queen Albertina,

or Queen Abby as he called her,

'cause that was, like, a

nickname that he had for her.

And he moved to Gelfland and

he became Chief Constable.

Yeah. Whatever that is.

And they did indeed, my little grummies,

live happily ever after.

Oh, one more thing.

Minister Kratski, he was finally in charge

of his own kingdom,

passing out little short

pencils and putters.

(laughs) Righteous.

That's it.
