Ella Enchanted Page #2

Synopsis: Based on Gail Carson Levine's award winning novel, this is the story of Ella, a young woman who was given a "gift" of obedience by a fairy named Lucinda. She must obey anything anyone tells her to do. When her mother passes away, she is cared for by her thoughtless and greedy father who remarries a loathsome woman with two treacherous daughters. This modern-day, fantasy Cinderella story features fairies, ogres and elves...as well as a hero in the guise of Prince Charmont, whom Ella falls in love with. Unlike Cinderella though, she must depend on herself and her intelligence to get her through her troubles and find Lucinda in order for her "curse" to be broken!

is Sir Edgar has done a fantastic job.

He has driven the ogres out,

and he has put giants and elves to work

as laborers and entertainers.

Therefore, if it weren't for him,

we wouldn't have today's

thriving free-enterprise system.

It's only free because we've enslaved the

poor creatures and they work for nothing.

Edgar is a monster, and I don't hold out

much hope for his nephew, either.

Well, that shows what you know,

aka nothing.

Prince Char will be the greatest king ever.

- Right, girls?

- Yeah.

I wonder if my opponent has based

her opinion on the prince's politics

or how cute she thinks his butt is.

Admit you're stupid

and don't know what you're talking about.

I'm stupid and I don't know

what I'm talking about.

Ella?

Anyway, in conclusion...

Hold your tongue, Ella.

Ella!

My tongue itches.

If you're not going to take this

seriously, I declare Hattie the winner.

Ya!

Uncle, do I have to go to this mall opening?

As heir to the throne,

it's your royal responsibility, Char.

- You are a public figure, after all.

- Yes, but you're the one in charge.

Only for a little while longer.

Your coronation is next week.

You need to be out there

with the people, Char.

Yes, shaking hands and kissing babies.

Exactly, Heston.

So the people can learn to trust us.

What's not to trust?

Nothing.

But while you've been away at school,

Char, the kingdom has been under siege.

In your absence,

the ogres have become impossible.

He's right. Even the giants have become

more and more treacherous.

But the giants have always been peaceful.

The ogres were peaceful too,

until they ripped your father to shreds.

And I promised your father,

should anything happen to him,

I would take care of you and the kingdom.

And, well, I've kept my promise, haven't l?

Whoa!

Likewise, you must keep

your promise to the people.

Now, let's put on a smile.

Remember, image is everything.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

It's wonderful to be here

in your charming town of... Frell.

Prince Charmont and l...

We want Char! We want Char!

We want Char! We want Char!

We want Char!

Now it is my great pleasure to welcome

my nephew, Prince Charmont.

- Say no to ogrecide!

- Stop the giant land grab!

- Say no to ogrecide!

- Stop the giant land grab!

- Say no to ogrecide!

- Stop the giant land grab!

- Say no to ogrecide!

- Ella! You are embarrassing us!

Go home now.

I have to go. I'm sorry.

I love you, Prince Char!

Hey! Prince Char!

- Are you a fast runner?

- Not particularly, no. Why?

Get him!

- Ow!

- Shush, shush, shush!

- Prince Charmont.

- Please, call me... call me Char.

Sorry about that.

Occupational hazard.

- Allow me.

- I don't need your chivalry, thanks.
