251
a very big impact
upon your Iife.
252
I aIready had braces1.
253
No, it's bigger
than orthodontia.
254
The tea is served, ma'am.
255
AmeIia, have you ever heard...
256
of Eduard Christoff
PhiIIipe Gerard RenaIdi?
257
No.
258
He was the crown prince
of Genovia.
259
Hmm.
260
What about him?
261
Eduard Christoff
PhiIIipe Gerard RenaIdi...
262
was your father.
263
[Snorts] Yeah, sure.
264
My father was
the prince of Genovia.
265
Uh-huh. You're joking.
266
Why wouId I joke about
something Iike that?
267
No! Because if he's reaIIy
a prince, then I--
268
ExactIy.
269
You're not just
AmeIia ThermopoIis.
270
You are AmeIia Mignonette
ThermopoIis RenaIdi...
271
Princess of Genovia.
272
Me? A princess?
273
Shut up!
274
I beg your pardon?
Shut up?
275
Your Majesty2, in America...
276
it doesn't aIways mean
''Be quiet.''
277
Here it couId mean,
''Wow,'' ''Gee3 whiz,'' ''GoIIy''--
278
Oh, I understand.
Thank you.
279
NevertheIess,
you are the princess.
280
And I am
Queen CIarisse RenaIdi.
281
Why wouId you pick me
to be your princess?
282
Since your father died,
you are the naturaI heir...
283
to the throne of Genovia.
That's our Iaw.
284
I'm royaI by marriage.
285
You are royaI by bIood.
286
You can ruIe.
287
RuIe? Oh, no.
288
Oh, no. No, no, no.
289
Now you have
reaIIy got the wrong girI.
290
I never Iead anybody--
291
not at Brownies,
not at Camp Fire GirIs--
292
Queen CIarisse,
my expectation in Iife...
293
is to be invisibIe,
and I'm good at it.
294
AmeIia, I had
other expectations aIso.
295
In my wiIdest dreams...
296
I never expected this
to happen.
297
But you are the IegaI heir--
298
the onIy heir--
to the Genovian throne...
299
and we will
accept the challenge...
300
of heIping you become
the princess that you are.
