-
-I wouId Iike to announce that
my granddaughter has arrived.
-
With a fascinating expIanation
as to her wardrobe, I'm sure
-
She's styIing a wet,
sort of grunge-Iook hairdo...
-
and is wearing a sweatshirt,
jeans, and Docs.
-
Mia, wouId you care
to say a few words?
-
-Um, yes.
-
-Why didn't we dress Iike her?
We Iook Iike idiots
-
-Thank you, Your Majesty.
-
-Do you think they're trying
to save money on the gown?
-
-HeIIo.I'm Mia.
-
It stopped raining.
-
Get your tiara ready.
-
I'm reaIIy no good
at speechmaking.
-
NormaIIy I get so nervous
that I faint...
-
or run away or sometimes
I even get sick.
-
But you reaIIy
didn't need to know that.
-
But I'm not so afraid
anymore.
-
My father heIped me.
-
EarIier this evening,
I had every intention...
-
of giving up my cIaim
to the throne...
-
and my mother heIped me
by teIIing me that it was OK...
-
and by supporting me Iike
she has for my entire Iife.
-
But...
-
then I wondered how I'd feeI...
after abdicating my roIe
-
as Princess of Genovia.
WouId I feeI reIieved
-
or wouId I feeI sad?
-
And then I reaIized...
-
how many stupid times a day
-
I use the word ''I.''
-
ln fact,
probably all l ever do...
-
is think about myseIf.
-
And how I am is that...
-
when there are biIIion
other peopIe on the pIanet--
-
Ooh. Sorry.
I'm going too fast.
-
But then l thought...
-
if I cared about
the other biIIion out there...
-
instead of just me...
-
that's probabIy
a much better use of my time.
-
See, if l were
Princess of Genovia...
-
then my thoughts...
-
and the thoughts of peopIe
smarter than me...
-
would be much better heard
and just maybe...
-
those thoughts couId be
turned into actions.
-
So this morning
when I woke up...
-
I was Mia ThermopoIis
-
But now...
-
I choose to be forevermore...
-
AmeIia Mignonette
-
ThermopoIis RenaIdi...
-
Princess of Genovia.
-
I hope you didn't order
your stationery yet.
-
This was my very first tiara.
-
I was rather fond of it
-
I'm hoping you wiII be, too.
-
Oh. Grandma,
but you had it aIready.
-
How did you know
I'd even be here?
-
Because I recognize
the same spirit in you...
-
as someone eIse I know.
-
Who?
-
Me.
-
-Ah, you made it.
-
You bet your Iife,
you big, taII string bean.
-
-Here. PaoIo here
to save the day.
-
Genovia
The land l call my home
Genovia, Genovia
-
Forever will your banner wave
-
-Her Majesty,
Queen Clarisse...
-
and Her RoyaI Highness,
AmeIia, Princess of Genovia.
-
-I think perhaps we'd better
get you dried off now.
-
No Ionger does Mia stand for
''Missing In Action.''
-
Genovia has a new princess.
-
They had the same idea I had...
-
but now the garden
is ''occupado.''
-
-Why me?
-
-Because you saw me
when I was invisibIe.
-
And just because I'm royaI...
-
doesn't mean
I'm any different.
-
I'm reaIIy the same person.
-
Yes, I wiII have
to Iive in Genovia a bit...
-
but I'II stiII go
to schooI and...
