-INT. PORTRAIT ROOM — DAY. Anna runs around the portrait

room, gaining momentum to flip over the arm of the couch.

ANNA (9) (CONT’D)

I’VE STARTED TALKING TO

THE PICTURES ON THE WALLS.

Anna lands PLOP on the cushions, then looks up at the

painting above her of the courageous Joan of Arc.

ANNA (9) (CONT’D)

Hang in there, Joan.

-INT. EMPTY LIBRARY — DAY. Looks like no one’s around.

ANNA (9) (CONT’D)

IT GETS A LITTLE LONELY

ALL THESE EMPTY ROOMS.

But then we find Anna, laying at the base of the grandfather

clock, playing with her braids, bored out of her mind.

ANNA (9) (CONT’D)

JUST WATCHING THE HOURS TICK BY.

Anna’s eyes follow the grandfather clock’s pendulum.

ANNA (9) (CONT’D)

TICK TOCK. TICK TOCK. TICK TOCK.

-INT. ELSA’S ROOM — NIGHT. Elsa (now 12) paces as she panics.

The entire wall is frozen behind her.

ELSA (12)

I’m scared. It’s getting stronger.

KING:

Getting upset only makes it worse.

The King goes to hug her.

ELSA (12)

No. Don’t touch me. I don’t want to

hurt you.

He and the Queen look at each other with alarmed sadness.

-INT. LIBRARY — DAY. Anna, now a teenager, slides past Elsa’s

room without stopping.

-INT. KING AND QUEEN’S QUARTERS — DAY. Anna runs into the

room and throws herself into her parents’ arms.

TEEN ANNA:

See you in two weeks.

-INT. ELSA’S ROOM — DAY. Elsa curtsies in front of her

parents, formally, not touching them.

TEEN ELSA:

Do you have to go?

KING:

You’ll be fine, Elsa.

-EXT. DOCKS — DAY. The King and Queen leave on a ship.

-EXT. ROUGH SEAS — NIGHT. Lightning flashes. The sea rages in

a storm. The King and Queen’s ship is lost in the waves.

-INT. CASTLE — DAY. A portrait of the King and Queen is

covered in mourning cloth.

-EXT. CEMETERY — DAY. Anna looks small, standing before her

people, beside burial stones.

-INT. HALLWAY, ELSA’S DOOR. Anna, still in her mourning

clothes, approaches and knocks.

ANNA:

(singing)

Elsa? PLEASE I KNOW YOU’RE IN THERE

PEOPLE ARE ASKING WHERE YOU’VE BEEN

THEY SAY HAVE COURAGE

AND I’M TRYING TO

I’M RIGHT OUT HERE FOR YOU.

PLEASE LET ME IN.

Anna slides down the door and sits with her head against it.

ANNA (CONT’D)

WE ONLY HAVE EACH OTHER.

IT’S JUST YOU AND ME.

WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?

(weak, internal)

DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?

We move through the door...

-INT. ELSA’S ROOM — DAY. Elsa is sitting in the exact same

pose as Anna. Her bedroom is frozen with ice. Snowflakes hang

in the air, suspended by grief.

FADE OUT.

FROZEN - J. Lee

EXT. THE KINGDOM OF ARENDELLE — MORNING

A new dawn rises over the fjords.

Ships pull up to the docks. Guests pile out.
