03x22 - Beauty Is the Beast

[bunniefuu]

I was a girl in the village doing all right Then I became a princess overnight Now I gotta figure out how to do it right So much to learn and see Up in the castle with my new family In a school that's just for royalty A whole enchanted world is waiting for me - I'm so excited to be - Sofia the first I'm finding out what being royal's all about Sofia the first Making my way, it's an adventure every day Sofia - It's gonna be my time - Sofia To show them all that I'm Sofia the first I may be small, but what I lack in size, I make up for in spin.

Good try? All right, I'm up.

Hey, Sof, your amulet's glowing.

Are you trying to distract me? I'm serious.

It's glowing.

Look.

- Oh.

- Oh, a princess must be coming.

Sofia, where'd you go? Hm, guess I win.

( laughs ) Wow.

What happened? Where am I? ( girl crying ) Hello? ( gasping ) Who's there? Are you okay? Who are you? Who are you? You're in my garden.

I insist you tell me first.

I'm sorry.

Don't get upset.

I'm Princess Sofia of Enchancia.

And you are? Princess Charlotte of Iselworth.

( grunts ) Oh, now please, - just go away! - ( footsteps scurrying ) Wait! Come back! I'm not going to hurt you.

Um, are you sure you're all right? ( crying ) No, I am not all right.

At all.

( growling ) - What's wrong? - I I can't possibly tell you.

Maybe I can help.

No one can help me.

Are you hiding from someone? No.

Everyone.

Well, you don't have to hide from me.

It's okay.

Come on out.

- Promise you won't scream? - I promise.

All right.

Here I am.

Hello, Princess Charlotte.

I am sadly, horribly aware, that I do not look like a princess.

( grunts ) But I am one.

I promise you.

This morning, I just turned into a beast.

A big, hairy beast.

It just happened? Yes.

A few hours ago.

There was a flash, then I started spinning, and then I got dizzy, and then, all of a sudden ( grunting ) beast.

It sounds like you were cursed.

I must've been.

But I have no idea why, and no idea how, and no idea what to do, and I just wanna be myself again right away, because, on top of all this, there's a ball tonight in my honor.

WOMAN: All I saw was its tail, Your Majesties.

But it was huge and hairy.

We'll find it, whatever it is.

We have to hide.

Sorry.

I don't know my own strength anymore.

My handmaiden spotted me like this, and now everyone's trying to hunt me down.

They think I'm a beast, and they appear to be right.

No one will believe I'm the princess, and goodness knows what they'll do to me.

( gasps ) Wait.

Your amulet.

I used to have one just like it.

Of course you did.

- Now it all makes sense.

- It does? This is the amulet you had.

It connects all the princesses who ever wore it.

So that must be why I'm here.

The amulet brought me to help you.

This time, it's my turn to help another princess.

So you can help me? Yes.

I mean, I think so.

Probably.

It's just, I'm not sure how.

- Yet.

- What was that? ( both sigh ) Don't worry.

We can figure this out.

Usually, when someone gets cursed, it's because they did something bad.

Uh, so, did you do anything bad? Of course not! Then did anything unusual happen today? Well, there was something that was not exactly normal.

What was it? A goblin came to the castle and asked if he could be invited to the ball.

So what did you say to him? ( laughs ) Well, no, of course.

That is a little bad.

It's a royal ball, and he's a a goblin.

Everyone knows they're just horrible beasts.

I don't even know why a goblin would care about a ball in the first place.

Maybe goblins like parties, too.

( gasps ) Could the goblin have cursed me? No, no, no.

His enchantress friend did.

Zinessa?! You cursed me? - You know her? - Everyone does.

I'm the most famous enchantress in Iselworth.

Yes, I cursed you.

Why would you do this? I invited you to my ball.

I did it because you turned my goblin friend away.

He's a goblin.

Oh, you probably don't even think he has feelings, do you? Well, he does, and you hurt them.

Then I'm sorry.

Now turn me back to normal.

- Sorry.

Can't do that.

- What? Why? Don't you know anything about how curses work, dear? I think she means you have to break the curse yourself.

You are correct.

Only Princess Charlotte can undo the curse.

- How? - You have to become friends with the goblin, of course.

Me? I'm a princess.

Friends with a goblin? Not just friends, but true friends.

How can I even find him? Any guesses? Go to his house? Ooh, she's good.

You should keep her.

I have to go to a goblin's house In the woods? It's the one with the bright red door.

You can't miss it.

Good luck.

Oh, and I mean that.

I may have cursed you, but I'm still rooting for you.

This is the worst day I've ever had.

Okay, it's the only bad day I've ever had.

But it is horrible.

Hey, at least we know what you have to do.

Make a friend.

All right, Sofia.

Let's go.

Has anyone seen Charlotte? Because if there is a beast on the loose, I want to make sure she's all right.

Oh, Everly dear, I'm sure she's fine.

But to ease the queen's mind, someone please check on the princess.

SOFIA: Bright red door.

Looks like the one.

So you should probably knock.

Any time now.

Oh, I'm so afraid.

Goblins are beasts.

Well, at the moment, so are you.

Oh, sounds like he's home.

Ah, beast! ( screams ) ( both shrieking ) Are you okay? That goblin was afraid of me, wasn't he? I think so.

I am so beastly that a goblin is afraid of me.

He shut the door right in my face.

That felt terrible.

I bet that's kinda how he felt when you turned him away this morning.

I was rude to him, he was rude to me.

Could that possibly mean we are even now? Because if we are, then maybe the curse will break.

( grunts ) Sorry.

It's never that easy.

Then what am I going to do now? How am I going to make friends with him if he's afraid of me? Maybe we can do something he likes.

Do you know what goblins like? Absolutely no idea.

Well, this one likes royal balls, I suppose.

Yes.

He likes parties.

That's great.

So let's invite him to one.

But Sofia, I can't go to a party like this.

Just a little one.

Only for the three of us.

More like a picnic really.

A picnic with what exactly? Well, we can use this as a blanket, and we can pick some strawberries.

There.

Instant party.

Hmm.

Parties must be different where you come from.

I'm gonna go knock.

Good idea.

I'll wait for you here.

Go away.

We don't want any.

Wait.

Don't be afraid.

I just wanna invite you to a party.

A party? ( gasps ) Are you a princess? I am.

So this is a royal party then? It sure is.

A small one, but a royal one.

Well, I love all things royal.

Big or small.

Cups, tea towels, tiny spoons.

These very items I hold were once used by the royal family of Westerberg.

Got a great deal on 'em.

True story.

- Wow! - I don't mean to brag, but I have the largest collection of royal knick-knacks, baubles and bric-a-brac in seven kingdoms, believe it or not.

I believe it.

It's kind of a big deal.

I open it to the public every other Sunday, and on some holidays.

It's very sweet of you to share all this.

Thank you, milady.

So what kingdom are you from? - Enchancia.

- Oh, oh, ooh! I happen to have a very nice replica of your flag.

So does this mean you would like to join me for a party? Any royal party is a party I can't miss! Can I bring anything? Pearl napkin rings? Scented candles? Tiny silver spoons? How about some tea? I was just brewing some more.

- Perfect.

- ( tea kettle whistling ) Right this way.

Oh, the beast! You're with the beast?! Wait.

Don't be afraid.

I just wanna be friends.

That beast it wants to be friends? Yes.

Very badly.

Uh, you aren't going to hurt me, - or eat me? - Of course not.

( sighs ) Well, it does look like a lovely little party.

( bell tolling ) She's not here.

What if this beast took Charlotte? Let's not jump to conclusions, dear.

But we've looked everywhere.

Where could she be? Your Majesties, I see footprints.

( gasps ) What kind of footprints? Big ones.

Ogre? No.

Elephant troll? No.

- Goblin? - A goblin.

A goblin took the princess.

But the handmaiden said she saw a hairy beast with a tail, and goblins don't have tails, do they? Maybe this one does.

Send out a search party at once.

Yes, sire.

So, did you know that you both really love parties? And tea? Ooh, I do love a nice tea.

Me, too.

Oh, I'm so sorry! Oh, don't be.

Happens to me all the time.

- See? - ( both giggling ) - Thank you.

- Wow! You guys have so much in common already.

( slurping, belching ) Oh, excuse me.

You're quite excused.

( belches loudly ) Excuse me.

Well, you are quite excused.

And I bet you have lots more things in common, too.

Like what are your favorite animals? BOTH: Peacock.

BOTH: Really? They're my favorite because ( both giggling ) Okay, you first.

Well, they're my favorite because they're in more royal zoos than any other animal.

They're my favorite because a group of peacocks is called a party! This sure sounds like the beginning of a beautiful friendship to me.

You see You're just two people or folks Not so different it turns out With lots in common already And that's what friendship's all about So just keep talking to each other And I think you'll soon discover If you open up some more You will find more to adore Much more to adore So here's a secret but it's silly Promise you won't laugh at me You won't hear a chuckle or a chortle That I can guarantee Well, I like singing in my room Alone when no one else can hear I like singing in my garden To just the chipmunks and the deer I love to dance the waltz but my partner is my pillow That's just like me When I play catch, it's with that weeping willow Then you can learn from each other Make the friendship really grow Yes, perhaps you could dance with me And I could teach you how to throw We're just two people or folks Not so different it turns out With lots in common already And that's what friendship's all about So just keep talking to each other And I think you'll soon discover If we open up some more We will find more to adore More to adore More to adore More to adore Much, much, much, much more To adore More to adore Oh, thank you I don't even know your name.

It's Morris.

And you, milady? Oh, it's, um Charlotte.

Like the princess? ( sighs ) Yes.

Like the princess.

Well, it's been lovely to meet you, Charlotte like the princess.

Well, it's been lovely to meet you, too, Morris.

Oh, let me clean that for you.

I'll be right back.

I think this is going really well.

I know.

Me, too.

Now that I'm getting to know him, he's quite charming.

( grunts ) Maybe just the two of you should spend some time together.

You know, we, um could use some more berries.

I think I saw more berry bushes way off in that direction.

Look.

Footprints.

Big footprints.

Looks like the same beastly prints we found back at the castle.

Oh, no! Um, visiting hours are only on Sundays, and sometimes holidays.

That's the princess' tiara.

Seize him! Seize me? Why? Hey! What are you doing? Where's the princess? You mean Princess Sofia? Are you trying to be a wise guy? I don't think so.

- She's not in there.

- Right.

Take him in then.

If he won't talk to us, maybe he will when he has to face the king and the queen.

Help me! Please! I thought we were friends.

I heard yelling.

What's going on? The royal guards captured Morris.

- Why? - They think he took Princess Charlotte.

Why didn't you tell them he didn't take you? That you're right here? I was afraid.

They think I'm a beast, Sofia, remember? They'd just capture me, too.

You don't know that for sure.

Maybe you can still go after them.

It's too late now.

The way he looked at me, like he was so disappointed.

( sighs ) It was awful.

I let Morris get captured to save myself, and it doesn't even matter, because now he'll never be friends with me.

Oh! So I let him down, and I'm probably going to be a beast forever anyway.

Charlotte, I know this seems hard.

It does to me, too.

But don't give up.

You can make it up to him.

I don't see how.

You're going back to the castle.

No, we're going back, to save Morris.

We found him, Your Majesties.

The goblin who took the princess.

I didn't take any princesses.

I didn't take anyone.

We caught him red-handed with the princess' tiara.

- Where is my daughter? - I don't know.

We'll lock him up till he's ready to talk.

Oh, my goodness.

They're going to put poor Morris in the dungeon.

I've got to do something.

Wait.

I have an idea.

Follow me.

Look.

We're hidden back here.

You can call out to your parents just like you called out to me this morning.

Without anyone seeing me.

Exactly.

Okay.

Mom, Dad! I'm here.

Charlotte! Darling, is that really you? Yes, Mother.

It's me.

But don't come any closer.

I You don't want anyone to see your new gown before the ball.

I don't want anyone to see my new gown before the ball.

( grunts ) But it's me.

( laughs ) I'm not missing, and the goblin is innocent, by the way.

How do we know you're really the princess? This could be some kind of trick.

Maybe it's just another goblin in cahoots with this one.

I'm pretty sure I heard it grunt.

Show yourself or we'll lock him up for good.

Oh, no.

What do I do, Sofia? I can't make the choice for you.

But I can tell you, you should think about how Morris is feeling right now.

That's what a true friend would do.

( gasping ) Beast! You came for me! Of course.

( grunts ) That is not our daughter.

That is a beast.

It is a trick.

Throw it in the dungeon.

Stop! I'm Charlotte.

I am your daughter, and your princess.

Or I was your princess.

You are Charlotte?! The princess? I was cursed and turned into a beast.

because I treated that goblin I treated Morris like he didn't have any feelings at all.

Now I know what it's like to be treated that way, too.

It's awful.

And Morris deserves so much better.

He's sweet and generous and funny and And I hope, one day, he can forgive me, because I would truly be honored to be his friend.

The honor would be all mine, Princess Charlotte.

Thank you, Morris.

Thank you, Princess Charlotte.

No one has ever stood up for me like that.

I'd very much like you to be my guest at the Summer Ball.

( gasps ) Will there be a royal waltz? Yes.

It can be our first dance.

Well done.

( meows ) Oh, excuse me.

There is one more person I need to invite.

Sofia, thank you so much.

- You're welcome.

- Can you stay for the ball? I would love to, but I think my amulet is about to send me home now.

Good-bye, Princess Charlotte.

Good-bye, Princess Sofia.

- ( sighs ) - Yo, Sof! I've been looking everywhere for you.

- Where'd you go? - It's a long story.

I got nothin' else on my schedule.

Well, believe it or not, this time, my amulet summoned me to help another princess.

Really? Why? She turned into a beast.

- Ew.

- She was cursed.

And to break the curse, she had to make friends with a goblin.

So did you help her? I did.

I think I really did.
