The Swan Princess Page #2

Synopsis: As children, Prince Derek and Princess Odette are forced to spend their summers together by their widowed parents, who hope that the two will eventually fall in love and marry, so their two kingdoms will be united. As children and adolescents, Derek and Odette can't stand each other, but as young adults they begin to see each other in a different light and fall in love with each other. But one night things take a bad turn when Derek unintentionally offends Odette, who then refuses to marry him if he can't prove that he loves her for who she is and not just her beauty. Odette and her father are then attacked by Lord Rothbart, a vengeful sorcerer who was cast out of William's kingdom when he plotted against the king. In the form of a beast, Rothbart mortally wounds William, and kidnaps Odette then places her under a spell. Now it is up to Derek to rescue Odette by showing his undying love. But will he be in time?

No,-a-a, tried that already.

Once you steal something,

you spend your whole life

fighting to keep it.

But if I marry you,

the only heir to the throne...

We'll rule your father's kingdom

together, legally.

King and queen, you know?

Never!

Where are you going?

As soon as moonlight leaves the

lake, you turn back into the swan.

No matter where you are.

The musicians are not happy.

I know, but I have to practice.

No, no complains here.

I think, it's going to be lots of fun.

The Great animal's never going

to give up without a fight.

You are not still thinking she is alive?

When I'll find the Great animal,

Rogers, I'll find Odette.

Oh, Derek, you looked everywhere.

She is not coming back!

The whole kingdom knows that.

The whole kingdom's wrong.

Odette's alive, and I'm going to find her.

- You ready, Brom?

- No peeking!

Animals! Assemble!

Lord Rogers, I must object.

We are musicians.

The servants have the day off,

we have to use someone.

But I am an artist, not a boar.

Could've fooled me!

Come on, guys.

They're harmless.

We are a band,

And not a band of animals.

This masquerade,

Is more than I can bear.

There goes my reputation,

It's awful, this humiliation.

And I've the lion's share.

Down on all fours, please,

and growl ferociously.

Liven it up a bit!

I want you to strike fear into my heart.

Not You, Wesley! You're a rabbit,

for heaven's sake.

Archers!

Ready!

Set!

Go!

- Duck!

- Yes!

- Duck!

- What?

Day after day all the prince ever does,

Is practice, practice, practice.

Thinking of her

and the way that it was.

Practice, practice, practice.

He's not happy, 'til he has attacked us.

Twelve seconds.

Day after day all the prince ever does.

Practice, practice, practice.

Thinking of her

and the way that it was.

Practice, practice, practice.

If we had refused he would have

sacked us. - Five seconds.

So we face a life of target.

- Three, Two.

Practice, practice, practice.

- Time!

Animals, assemble for counting.

Ah-hah, very good, very good!

Your scored, thank you, five pointers.

That's for sure.

Sorry Hans, why don't

you take few days off.

Moose are worth 2 points.

Sixteen hits a total of 32.

Ten 7 points.

And... fourteen 3 points.

A total of 298.

Well done, Derek!

Now, Bromley, let's see if you...

Hmm... zero and zero and

a nothing and nil and zip.

And last but not least,

the elusive one hundred points.

White rabbit.

I believe that's

three hundreds Rogers.

Good shooting Brom.

Well, what it tell?

300 into 298.

Oh, but a wait just

a moment, Rogers.

Sorry, Brom.

Ha-ha-ha-hmm.

You're a great marksmen, Derek.

One of the best.

But it takes more than good aim.
