Editing Ash Ketchum Meets The Swan Princess/Transcript (section)

== The ball at the castle ==
(Transition: Interior, Uberta's castle.)

Queen Uberta: Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Soon Derek will be married and the kingdom will have a king again.

Lord Rogers: I doubt it. Derek yet refuses to be king unless he finds Odette.

Queen Uberta: Oh, poppycock! All that will change at tomorrow night's ball.

Chamberlain: They're all coming to the ball! (laughs) Every princess is coming.

Queen Uberta: (pridefully) Oh, certainly, oh, my. Oh, this is wonderful! You see, Rogers. One of these is bound to change his mind.

Lord Rogers: Oh, absolutely....not.

Queen Uberta: Do not lose one.

Chamberlain: Oh, dear, oh, dear.

Queen Uberta: Where is Derek? Oh, never mind I know where he is, working on the mystery of the Fat Animal.

Lord Rogers: The Grand Animal, Your Highness.

Queen Uberta: Well, Big, Grand. It's large and has fur.

(Cut to: The castle library.)

King William: (voice-over) Listen to me, Derek. It's not what it seems.

Prince Derek: What did King William mean? It's not what it's seems, of course! It's not what it seems! Now I'll find you, Odette.

Queen Uberta: They're coming, Derek. Oh! Derek, where are you going?

Prince Derek: To find the Grand Animal.

Queen Uberta: Oh, wonderful. Just make sure you're here tomorrow night.

Prince Derek: Tomorrow night?

Queen Uberta: Uh. The ball.

Prince Derek: Mother, I...I can't. Oh, please, Mother. Don't do the lip feeling. If I leave now, perhaps I can be back in time!

Queen Uberta: (cheers) Thank you, darling. (laughs)

Prince Derek: But please, Mother, don't turn it into one of your beauty pageants.

Queen Uberta: Oh, dear, oh, dear. It's just a few friends.....and their daughters. I want this to be big. Every princess would have her own introduction.

Chamberlain: But you said...

Queen Uberta: Forget what I said. Now, send for the cooks and warn the band to start rehearsing! And I want four footmen for every carriage. (chortles) Perhaps five!

All: Stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke.

King Louie: Yeesh, I'm gonna have a stroke alright. Where we going anyhow, right?

Gurgi: How should I know?

King Louie: Hey, what if we're going the wrong fashion?

Gurgi: What?

King Louie: We could be going towards the edge.

Gurgi: Not to mention that Grand Animal.

King Louie: Hey, wait a moment. That's no Grand Animal.

Gurgi: Whatever it is, it's heading right for Swan Lake. I say, we go back.

King Louie: What for?

Gurgi: Something screwy is happening, that's what for. And, well, I...I feel kinda hard about we mean we've been to that little Ketchum guy.

King Louie: What, are you nuts?

Bagheera: Nuts, nuts.

King Louie: If you wanna go back, fine, but count us out. Heh!
