The Prince and the Pauper Page #2

Synopsis: Long ago in a land with an ailing king, there was a pair of boys who looked exactly alike, a pauper called Mickey and the other, the Crown Prince. Mickey dreamed of plenty and an easy life as Royalty and the Prince dreamed of the freedom as a subject. Happenstance throws them together and their mutual resemblence inspires the pair to switch identities to see how the other lives. To their surprise, Mickey learns of the duties and responsibilties of royalty while the Prince learns to his horror that the Royal Captain of the Guard has taken advantage of the existing power vacuum to inflict brutal tyranny on the subjects. Now the Prince must react to this evil, unaware that the Captain knows about the identity swap and is using it to his own advantage while dominating Mickey who play the Heir to the Throne.

Mickey Mouse,|peasant at large.

My good man,|you must forgive me.

I'm dreadful with names.

Could I have your name?

What's the matter|with the one you got?

I'm Goofy. Remember?

So I see.|And, my dear man...

if there's anything|I can do to help...

by all means,|let me know.

Oh, I get it!

It's a joke.

That's a great one.

Will you look at the time?|I really must be going.

Ta-ta!

Hey, come back here!

Come back here!

Gosh, if my friends|could see me now.

Surely His Highness has|not forgotten his royal duties.

You'll pay for this!|Leave her alone right now!

- Get away from her!|- Help me!

Relax, lady.|It's for the king.

- Yeah, the king.|- But it's all we have.

Then it's all we'll take.

Halt!|As your royal prince...

I command you|to unhand that hen.

What's so amusing?

Forgive me.|I think you forgot your crown.

When I return to the palace,|you'll pay for this!

I can't believe it.|Stealing in the king's name.

This happens all the time.

The king takes all our food.|We're hungry.

Outta the way, you slobs!

Make way for|the royal provisioner.

Out of the way.|Come on, move it, move it and move it.

What are yous. Deaf?

Halt! I am the prince...

and I command you to surrender|your entire inventory.

And I'm the queen mother.|Be off with ya.

Will this help?

- It's the prince!|- Your Highness!

# Give me|a suckling pig... #

Now, where can he be?

For you, sir.

There he is.

Thank you, sire.

Gawrsh,|Mick's flipped his wig.

Alright! Alright! Clear out!|Out of the way!

He's the one that|showed me the ring, sir.

You there,|you're under arrest.

Run for it, boy!

Hang on, Mick! I'm comin'!

Oh, that's rich.

Now, I may be losing|my mind, Captain.

And I know that you've said|that time and time again...

but all I know is|he acted like a nobleman...

and he had the royal ring.

The ring?

So it was the prince|I booted out.

You threw out the prince?

# You're gonna get it #

Not if he doesn't|come back alive.

Take that!|Take that! And that!

Enter!

Oops!

Nice shot, sire.

Your Highness, your father|is in his last hours...

and wishes to see you at once.

We better tell the prince.|He'd want to see him.

You are the prince, sire.

I've been meaning|to talk to you about that.

Sire, he is gravely ill.

I'll explain everything.|The king'll understand.

- My son...|- Huh?

- Well, I'm not really the...|- Come closer.

My son, from the day|you were born...

I have tried to prepare you|for this moment.

I shall be gone soon...

and you will be king.

You must promise...

promise me that you will rule|the land from your heart...

justly and wisely.

I promise.

I gotta find the prince.

Good day, my phoney prince.

- Unhand me!|- Shut up!
