Below is a transcribed copy of the Sofia the First episode "Cedric Be Good".

Speaker Dialogue
Prince James Come on, Sof, go faster. I can catch 'em.
Princess Sofia Okay, James, get ready. Maybe you should just catch them the normal way. I want to make sure we have enough for all the kids in the village.
Prince James Whoa, look at that. Cedric's got a new contraption. Cedric, can we ride in your flying machine?
Princess Sofia Yes, can we, Mr. Cedric? Please?
Cedric the Sorcerer I'm so sorry, children, but this is my most prized possession. So the answer is a big, whopping no. A successful trip to the charmacy, Wormy. Behold the extremely rare petal of the Alabaster Rose. This ivory beauty only blooms every 100 years, but now that it's blossomed, I have everything I need for my power plucking potion. Oh, at long last, I shall be able to use this potion to make the Amulet of Avalor give me any power I want. Let's just keep you nice and save in here, shall we? Now, all I have to do is get Sofia's amulet by switching it with this fake one I made. [takes out a fake replica of the amulet's jewel] Then I shall have plenty of time to use the potion on the real amulet and give myself a power so great, I'll finally be able to take over the kingdom! Come along, Wormy. Let us find the princess.
Princess Sofia Just a few more, okay?
Cedric the Sorcerer Wormy, go and distract them.
Wormwood flies off and steals the apple out of Sofia's hand; Sofia raises her head to look at Wormwood, keeping her from seeing her amulet get stolen.
Prince James Hey!
Princess Sofia Wormwood!
Cedric the Sorcerer Switcherwitchits switcheroo! [the fake amulet flies out of his hand; Sofia, still looking at Wormwood, doesn't see her amulet get swapped with the fake one in her necklace, thus rendering her powerless.] I can't believe it. After all these years, the Amulet of Avalor is mine. Mummy, the day I have been waiting for has finally come.
Winifred the Wise You stole the amulet.
Cedric the Sorcerer Yes. And Sofia doesn't even realize it's missing, so I'll have plenty of time to extract one of its powers with this power plucking potion.
Winifred the Wise But the amulet can give you so many powers. The power to be invisible, to read minds, to grow as tall as a giant. Which one will you choose?
Cedric the Sorcerer I want the power of supreme strength. Then I shall be the mightiest in the land, and no one will be able to stop me from taking over the kingdom. Now, let's get this power-plucking party started. I simply dip the amulet in the potion and... Hmm? Huh?
Winifred the Wise What's wrong?
Cedric the Sorcerer My hands are stuck.
Winifred the Wise Here. Let Mummy help.
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, my potion. Oh, no! It's all gone! And I'm stuck again. Why are my hands so sticky?
Winifred the Wise Oh, you put the amulet on?
Cedric the Sorcerer Well, of course I did. Why?
Winfred the Wise Once you put the amulet on, you're bound bound by its rules. "For each deed performed, for better or worse, a power is granted, a blessing or curse."
Cedric the Sorcerer [realizes he took the amulet from its chosen bearer] The amulet cursed me.
Winfred the Wise Yes, my dear, with sticky fingers, for stealing Princess Sofia's amulet, no doubt.
Cedric the Sorcerer I must undo the curse. But how?
Winfred the Wise "The only way to break the curse is to make up for your bad deed." Well, since you took something from Sofia, maybe you should give something to her.
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, but what? Surely not the amulet.
Winfred the Wise Of course not. You need that to take over the kingdom. Give her something else. Something as important to you as the amulet is to her.
Cedric the Sorcerer But what do I have that the princess could possibly want?
Winfred the Wise Hmm. Let's go ask her, shall we?
Cedric the Sorcerer Mummy, I do not need a chaperone.
Winfred the Wise Of course you do, Ceddy. Now let's hurry. It's only a matter of time before Sofia realizes she's not wearing the real amulet.
Cedric the Sorcerer There she is. Huh? Oh, yes, we mustn't let her see that. There.
Princess Sofia Hi, Mr. Cedric. Want an apple?
Cedric the Sorcerer No! No! No, no, thank you. You're too kind, Princess Sofia. In fact, I'd like to do something kind for you in return. Is there anything you want, anything at all?
Princess Sofia Oh, that's nice of you. But I don't need anything.
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, I'm not asking what you need. I'm asking what you want more than anything in the world, hmm?
Prince James Coming in for a landing.
Princess Sofia I know. How about a ride in your flying machine for both of us?
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, absolutely not. It's the most precious thing I own.
Princess Sofia Oh, that's okay. I understand.
Winifred the Wise But, Ceddykins, giving Sofia that flying machine might help you get rid of your sticky fingers.
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, right, Mummy. Uh, what I meant to say, Princess Sofia, is that I can do ever so much better than giving you one measly ride in the flying machine. I'll be right back.
Wormwood Oh, lovely. It's Furball and the feather heads. Of course, if they try to chitchat with the princess now, she'll figure out she doesn't have the real amulet. Well, I've got to keep them away. Why, hello there, friends.
Clover Why, hello there, bird breath. We're looking for Sofia.
Wormwood But whatever for, when we could have so much fun ourselves.
Robin Fun? Did you just say fun?
Clover You never have fun. Do you even know what the word means?
Wormwood I am quite aware of the definition of the word fun. I shall prove it. Oh, yes, see. Look at me. Splishing and splashing simultaneously. Come join me, won't you?
Clover Ha-ha, yeah. That's cute. We're gonna go find Sofia now. Have a nice bath.
Wormwood Wait! Oh. It's just that it gets so lonely up in Cedric's workshop. No animal friends to talk to. Oh, how I would love a few friends to chum about with.
Robin Oh, we can keep you company, Wormwood. Right, Clover?
Clover Ew. If you guys wanna yuk it up with cranky bird here, you go right ahead. Me, I'm gonna go see what Sofia's up to.
Wormwood Oh, well, then I suppose I shall have to show Robin and Mia how to get into the castle's food pantry without you.
Clover Whoa, whoa, whoa. You can get us into the food pantry?
Wormwood Who's fun now, furball?
Princess Sofia There. Whew! That's the last one. Let's get going.
Cedric the Sorcerer Princess Sofia! I would like to give my flying machine to you.
Princess Sofia Give it to me? That's really nice of you, Mr. Cedric, but I couldn't possibly accept it.
Cedric the Sorcerer Of course you can.
Princess Sofia But it's your most prized possession.
Cedric the Sorcerer Which is why I want to give it to you, because sometimes, we must part with the things we cherish most. Here. Take it. I insist.
Princess Sofia Okay. If you're sure. Thank you, Mr. Cedric.
Cedric the Sorcerer No, not a hug. Oh, no.
Princess Sofia What is it?
Cedric the Sorcerer My hands.
Princess Sofia What about them?
Cedric the Sorcerer It doesn't matter. Go enjoy your new flying machine.
Prince James Can we go for a ride in it, Sof?
Princess Sofia But the apples, remember?
Prince James It'll just take a minute.
Princess Sofia Okay, but just a quick one.
Prince James Brilliant!
Cedric the Sorcerer Prepare for takeoff. Liftofficus!
Prince James Yeah!
Princess Sofia Whoo!
Cedric the Sorcerer You were right, Mummy. The good deed broke the curse. My hands are sticky no more.
Winifred the Wise Oh, that's wonderful.
Cedric the Sorcerer But how can I get a power from the amulet now? All my power-plucking potion is gone.
Winifred the Wise You'll have to get a power the way Sofia gets them. By doing very, very good deeds.
Cedric the Sorcerer Well, I don't know the first thing about being good.
Winifred the Wise Ah, but she does.
Cedric the Sorcerer Why, yes, the princess is an expert at being a goody-goody. I'll get her to help me do kind acts. Good thinking, Mummy.
Princess Sofia Mr. Cedric, that was a-mazing, but I've got to go. I'm giving all these apples to the villagers.
Cedric the Sorcerer Of course you are.
Prince James Can I have another ride?
Cedric the Sorcerer Liftofficus.
Prince James Brilliant!
Cedric the Sorcerer Princess Sofia, would you mind if I accompany you?
Princess Sofia Oh, I'd love that. You can help me hand out the apples.
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, how wonderful. Let us do some good.
Robin Come on, Mia, bring me home.
Clover Oh, no, you're not gonna score on me and my boy, right, Wormwood?
Wormwood Righto. Go, team, go. Whoop. There you have it.
Mia Yes!
Clover Hey! Catch it, Wormwood.
Wormwood Oh.
Mia Ugh!
Clover You're out! We win!
Wormwood We win? We win? We win!
Clover Yeah! Nice play, Wormy.
Wormwood We are the victors. Hooray for us. Boom-boom squawk, boom-boom squawk.
Robin Good game, guys. Shall we go find Sofia now?
Wormwood Or... we could play a round of waffle hockey. I shall be the goalie.
Princess Sofia Apples. Who'd like an apple?
Cedric the Sorcerer They're very sweet and, uh, apple-y.
Boy Me! Me! Me!
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, you're so welcome. It isn't glowing, Mummy. Giving away a few apples is not a good enough deed to grant me a power.
Winifred the Wise You've got to do something bigger. Kinder. Mmm... nicer.
Cedric the Sorcerer How about this for nice? Super-size-o, orange tree, become a fruity jubilee.
Boy Mom, that pear is huge!
Mother And look at the size of that... watermelon?
Man Aye, fruit salad for everyone.
Princess Sofia Wow, Mr. Cedric. That was really nice of you.
Cedric the Sorcerer It's glowing. Does that mean I have a power? I'm huge! Like the giant fruit I conjured. Being this size will make taking over the kingdom a breeze! I can simply squash anything in my way. Oh, no. What happened? Oh, please, make me big again. Are you kidding? You took away my power just for squashing one teensy, tiny little wagon? Fixitus upitus. There. I fixed it. All better now. So make me big. Big-ify me. The power is gone.
Winifred the Wise Oh, Cedric, you have to stop doing bad things, as hard as that may be, and do another good deed, quick.
Cedric the Sorcerer Yes, Mummy.
Princess Sofia Mr. Cedric, everyone loves your fruit tree.
Cedric the Sorcerer Yes, yes, how very heartwarming. But, Sofia, I need you to help me do more nice things.
Princess Sofia More?
Cedric the Sorcerer A lot more. I don't ever want to stop. Oh, please. You must teach me how to be a better me.

Princess Sofia Oh, there you are, Mr. Cedric. I guess we should head back to the castle.
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, so that's it then. Pack up the kindness coach and go home. I'm surprised at you, Princess Sofia.
Princess Sofia I guess you're right. There's always a good deed to be done somewhere.
Cedric the Sorcerer And this time, I won't do anything unkind that will get me cursed. I will not, I will not, I will not!
Princess Sofia Mr. Cedric, come quick. There's someone having a lot of trouble over here.
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, marvelous. Well, in need of some help, are we?
Man I'm trying to build this house for my family, but my cart broke, and the stones are so heavy.
Princess Sofia Can you use your magic to help lift the stones?
Cedric the Sorcerer Well, I could, but I could also use my magic to build the entire house. The time has come to end this chore. Build a house from roof to floor!
Man Great goblins! It would've taken the strength of 100 men to build a house this fast. I thank you, sir. Come look.
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, it's glowing. Did you give me a power? Well, what is it? I don't feel any different. Could it be the power I've been longing for all this time? Yes! I have the power of supreme strength. Oh, how glorious! With strength like this, I can overcome anyone who tries to stop me from taking King Roland's throne. Come along, Princess. It's time to return to the castle.
Maid Get out, you scalawags. Scoot, scoot.
Princess Sofia Clover, Robin, Mia!
Wormwood [shocked] Oh, no!
Princess Sofia I haven't seen you guys all day. [they only make animal noises] That's weird. I can't understand you.
Wormwood Oh, no, no, no. Don't talk to them!
Clover Wormy, what are you doing?
Princess Sofia Stop, Wormwood! I think something's wrong with my amulet! I wish to be small. [she doesn't shrink] I can't shrink either! My amulet's not working! I better take it to Mr. Cedric. Maybe he can tell me what's wrong with it! [hurries off]
Wormwood Oh, that's what I get for having fun.
Robin Hey, Wormwood, where you goin'?
Wormwood None of your business, feather head.
Clover I knew it was too good to last.
Wormwood Oh, where is he?
Cedric the Sorcerer Ah, the king's throne. Or should I say, my throne.
Man What are you doing with the king's throne?
Cedric the Sorcerer That does not concern you. Now go fetch King Roland. I have some important news for him. Go on. Be quick about it. Oh, I can't wait any longer. I hereby declare myself the new king of Enchancia. From now on, everyone shall do whatever I say, or go straight to the dungeon. I shall rule with an iron fist. Oh, no. My fists have turned to iron. Oh, the amulet cursed me again. But why? For trying to take over the kingdom? That's not a bad thing. I deserve to be king. I do. Oh, Wormy, this is terrible. No one will obey a king who has ridiculous metal hands. I must go to the workshop and find a way to fix them immediately.
Wormwood Oh, what's the use? He can't understand a word I'm squawking.
Cedric the Sorcerer Oh, Mother, come quick.
Winifred the Wise What is it, dear?
Cedric the Sorcerer Look what the amulet did to my hands.
Winifred the Wise That is one dreadful curse.
Cedric the Sorcerer You must help me get rid of it.
Winifred the Wise The only way to break a curse this nasty is to do the most noble, kind-hearted act you can think of.
Cedric the Sorcerer What could I ever do that would be kind enough to break such a wretched curse?
Princess Sofia [runs into the workshop] Hello? [Cedric hides his metal hands under his sleeves] What happened to your door? And floor?
Cedric the Sorcerer It's a long story.
Princess Sofia Mr. Cedric, I really need your help! Something's wrong with my amulet!
Cedric the Sorcerer What makes you say that?
Princess Sofia It's just not doing things it usually does! Do you think you can fix it?
Cedric the Sorcerer Fixing your amulet is probably the most noble, kind-hearted thing I could do, isn't it?
Princess Sofia It would sure mean a lot to me.
Cedric the Sorcerer All right. I can repair your amulet, but the magic only works if you close your eyes.
Princess Sofia Right. Okay. [closes her eyes]
Cedric the Sorcerer Switcherwitchitus switcheroo! [the jewels swap back] All right. Your amulet should be as good as new.
Princess Sofia [opens her eyes; hugs him] Oh, Mr. Cedric, you've made me so, so happy! I've gotta go. Thank you! [leaves]
Winifred the Wise You gave the amulet back?
Cedric the Sorcerer Well, it was the only way to get rid of the curse, Mummy.
Winifred the Wise Then I suppose returning it was the right thing to do. It's a shame it had to come to that.
Princess Sofia Mia, Robin, Clover!
Clover Sofia!
Princess Sofia Mr. Cedric fixed my amulet!
Prince James Whoo! Who wants to go for a ride?
Princess Sofia I do. Whoo-hoo!
Prince James Yeah!
Princess Sofia You're the best, Mr. Cedric.
Cedric the Sorcerer Well, that's something, I suppose.
