SHE ALWAYS PUTS THINGS BACK

AFTER SHE TAKES THEM.

THAT'S WHY NOBODY BOTHERS.

SHE SHOULD BE LOCKED AWAY.

SHE'S MAD.

SHE SEEMED VERY:

SENSIBLE TO ME.

OH! SHE SEEMED

SENSIBLE TO ELLA.

AND WHY NOT?

THEY'RE TWO OF A KIND.

YOU'RE TWO OF A KIND.

AND DID YOU TELL HER THA YOU WERE GOING TO LIVE

- IN THE PALACE SOMEDAY?

- AND WHAT IF I DID?

HA HA! TWO CRAZY COCKROACHES.

[EVERYONE LAUGHS]

ELLA, STOP IT!

YOU'RE RUINING

MY BEAUTIFUL DRESS!

GET HER OUT OF HERE!

[SLAP] YOU GO RIGHT OUT AND

FINISH DIGGING THE POTATOES.

Ella:
I don't care.

i don't care one bit,

because, one day,

I'm going to live in the palace.

Ms. Toquet:
What will you do in the palace?

I don't know....

but, one day, I'm going

to live in the palace.

One day, I'm going

to live in the palace.

One day, I'm going

to live in the palace.

STEPMOTHER:
ELLA!

ELLA, BRING IN THE POTATOES!

CHARLES?

OH.

CHARLES.

WHERE IS HE?

MORNING, KOVIN.

WELL, GOOD MORNING,

YOUR HIGHNESS.

IS HE UP YET?

I BELIEVE HE'S STILL

DRESSING, SIR.

CHARLES?

CHARLES, I WAN TO SEE YOU.

AND WHERE THEY'VE

QUARTERED YOU, KOVIN?

UH, YES, SIR.

IT'S COMFORTABLE?

MOST COMFORTABLE.

THANK YOU, SIR.

GOOD. GOOD, GOOD.

POETRY?

USED TO READ IT MYSELF.

TAUGHT ME A LOT.

CAN'T READ IT NOWADAYS.

WHAT DO YOU THINK

OF OUR COUNTRYSIDE?

OH, VERY BEAUTIFUL,

WHAT I'VE SEEN OF IT, SIR.

EXCELLENT--

EXCELLENT HUNTING.

DO YOU HUNT?

SOME THINGS.

YOU'LL FIND PLENTY

OF THAT, TOO.

GOOD MORNING, FATHER.

WHAT ARE YOU GOT UP AS?

I'M GOING FOR A WALK.

THERE'S A PROBLEM

OF ENTERTAINMENT AT THE BALL.

WHAT BALL?

I TOLD YOU--

THREE DAYS OF FESTIVAL

TOPPED OFF BY A BIG BALL

ON THE LAST NIGHT.

THAT'S TOMORROW NIGHT.

OH, NO.

NOW STOP MAKING NOISES

YOU HAVE OBLIGATIONS.

FOR WHAT YOU ARE.

AND I DON'T MEAN YOUR TITLE.

I MEAN THE FACT THA YOU'RE A GROWN MAN

UTTERLY BORED WITH IT.

HE'S OF AGE NOW.

IT'S HIS TURN.

I LOVE HIM, KOVIN.

ISN'T HE A CHARMER?

I NEVER KNEW:

ANYBODY LIKE HIM.

NOW, THEN,

DISRESPECTFUL, BLASE,

IMPERTINENT YOUNG RAKE.

WE ARE DEPENDEN UPON THE GOOD WILL

AND THE COOPERATION

OF THE PEOPLE:

OF THIS PRINCIPALITY.

BUT THEY DON'T KNOW HIM,

AND HE DOESN'T KNOW THEM.

WELL, YOU'RE GOING

TO MEET THEM:

TOMORROW NIGH AT THE BALL,

AND THEY'RE GOING

TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOU.

MAKE FRIENDS.

I'LL DO MY BEST, FATHER,

AND NOT ONLY BECAUSE

YOU'RE SO RIGHT.

I REMEMBER THIS PLACE, TOO.

WHEN I WAS EIGHT,
