The Princess Diaries

Time for school.

Stop daydreaming.

You'll be late for school.

Hi, Louie, come on.

It's time to go to school.

Let's go.

- Are you feeling confident?

- Not really.

Just remember,

when you make your speech,

don't look at the people.

Pick a spot on the back wall,

don't take your eyes off it,

and speak loudly.

Thanks, Mom.

- Bye, Mom.

- Good luck.

- Morning, Muttons.

- Be nice.

Sorry, Mr. Robutusen.

Have a nice day.

I doubt it.

Hey there, ho there

How do you do

This is Grove Lions saying hi to you

I'm Lana, Anna, Fontana

Go, Lions

- Josh, what are you doing?

- He's such a show-off.

Off the wall, please.

Jeremiah, off the wall.

Come on, you know better than that.

- Good morning, Miss Gupta.

- Morning, Lilly.

Lilly's friend.

I'm sorry. I didn't see you.

I was thinking...

Somebody sat on me again.

- Really?

- Yeah.

I don't know what happened. I was

sitting there, working on my speech.

- It's really a dumb class.

- Jerk and jerkette sighting.

What? You never saw two idiots

exchange saliva before?

Yeah. They're so rude.

For a second I thought

you were going A-Crowd on me.

Negative.

- Ready for debate?

- I'm never ready for debate.

So, this is not a debate.

It's a control issue.

Grove controls our minds

with what they teach us,

but they're not satisfied with that.

I think Grove should dump the uniforms

and have casual dress all year round.

All right, all right.

OK, settle down.

Settle down, this is a debate.

After it's over,

I want you back in your uniform.

- Whatever you say.

- Josh sit down.

- He's the man.

- He's my man.

OK, Josh, later.

Down boy, you've made your point.

Now we've all heard from Josh Bryant

for the affirmative.

I love that sound.

- What's my point again?

- You like our uniforms.

They're equalizers.

Now we'll hear the rebuttal

from Mia Thermopolis,

who will present the negative argument

against our proposition.

I think...

What a frizzball.

Look at her hair.

We're waiting.

- Say something.

- You see...

Casual... Casual...

- Are you OK?

- She's gonna barf.

Look out, she's gonna hurl.

Cover the tuba.

Mia, finish up with Mrs. Talmond

and then you can take a break.

- Huge tip from Mrs. Hirsch.

- I got one from Mrs. Talmond.

- We are doing all right today.

- Mr. Walsh's ropes are twisted.

Mr. Walsh, stop twisting.

You'll strangle yourself.

- Hi, Mom.

- You threw up?

- And you ran away.

- I'm trying to forget about it.

Can I have some

shoes and chalk, please?

Anyway, I'll go talk

to your debate teacher...

- What's his name?

- Mr. O'Connell.

...And straighten it all out.

I am never going to be

a good public speaker,

just call him and tell him

I want to be a mime.

- I can do that.

- Here you go.

- Your grandmother called.

- What?

The live one, who lives in Genovia.

Clarisse.

This is the first time she's

contacted us, what's she want?

She's in town,

she wants to have tea.

Tea? She came all the way

from Europe to have tea?

- Think I want to climb a little bit.

- Rocks Around the Clock.

Isn't this the grandmother

who made you two get a divorce?

She didn't approve of me.

But Philippe and I made the decision

to divorce on our own.

Why should I go see

this snobby lady who ignores us?

Mia, she's your father's mother.

Just go see her, please?

Tension.

She said your father hoped

that you two would meet someday.

All right, I'll... I'll go.

OK. All right.

I win, band practice is over.

I have a music class. Out.

Let's have the third group try

"Catch a Falling."

Do you want to be in the front?

- Thanks.
