Below is a transcribed copy of the Sofia the First episode "Princess Jade".
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Flora | Class, I have an announcement. Today is School Swap Day. The day when a student from the village school and a student from Royal Prep swap places. |
| Princess Hildegard | Why would we do that? |
| Flora | So the village students can learn more about you royals, and you royals can learn more about them. |
| Princess Sofia | Wait. Are you telling me, one of my friends from my old school is coming here for the whole day? |
| Jade | Yes, I am! |
| Princess Sofia | Jade? A-mazing! |
| Jade | Sofia! Can you believe I'm here? |
| Princess Sofia | We're back together again, just like old times. |
| Flora | Since the two of you know each other, Sofia, will you be Jade's guide for the day? |
| Princess Sofia | Will I? |
| Princess Sofia and Jade | Like two birdies in a tree, two friends are the best to be. One plus one makes it twice as much fun! |
| Flora | Oh, my! Well, enjoy your classes this morning, Jade. Then we'll all go to Dunwiddie for lunch. And, later, you can give a presentation on all you've learned, when the Dunwiddie students come here for a Royal Ball. |
| Prince James | Brilliant! |
| Flora | Class is dismissed. |
| Jade | Sofia, if I'm gonna give a presentation, I better see everything at Royal Prep. |
| Princess Sofia | Then let's hurry. There's so much to show you. And that's our Enchanted Art room. And this is the Hall of Royals. |
| Jade | Check this out, Sofia. I am Queen Jade. I, Queen Jade the Just, do hereby declare every Tuesday to be Dazzleball Day. |
| Princess Sofia | Hear, hear! |
| Jade | Surrender, dragon, or Prince Jade the Brave shall snuff out your flame with yon dirty dishwater! |
| Princess Sofia | I miss going to school with you, Jade. I wish you could come to Royal Prep with me every day. |
| Jade | Wouldn't that be great? Me, Princess Jade the... |
| Princess Sofia | Unbelievable. |
| Jade | Jade the Unbelievable? That doesn't sound quite right. |
| Princess Sofia | No, Jade, look! You look just like the princess in that old painting. You could be sisters. |
| Jade | Who is she? |
| Princess Sofia | It says "Frederika Assemblia." |
| Jade | I think I had a Great-Great-Aunt Frederika. |
| Princess Sofia | I'll bet you are related to this princess! Do you know what that means? |
| Jade | Ruby is gonna want my autograph? |
| Princess Sofia | If you're related to a princess, then you could be a princess. |
| Jade | No way! |
| Princess Sofia | And if you are a princess, then you can come with me to Royal Prep every day! |
| Jade | I'm a princess! |
| Princess Sofia | School Swap is the best day ever! I can't wait to tell everyone. |
| Jade | Ooh, ooh, ooh, wait. I have an idea. Let's save it for lunch. That way we can tell everyone at the same time, even our Dunwiddie friends. |
| Princess Sofia | Great idea. So, ready to spend our first official day together at Royal Prep? |
| Jade | Yes, I am! But is Royal Prep ready for us? By the way, which Royal do you think went to the Dunwiddie School today? |
| Princess Sofia | I don't know, but I'll bet they're having just as much fun as we are. |
| Ms. Candoo | It's School Swap Day, class. So please give a big Dunwiddie School welcome to our royal guest, Princess Amber. |
| Class | Welcome, Princess Amber! |
| Princess Amber | Ah! Yes, yes. I know. I'm the biggest thing to hit Dunwiddie Village since, well, the last time I visited Dunwiddie Village. Where shall I sit? |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Right here, Amber. I will be your guide. So if you need help, just ask. |
| Princess Amber | Oh, thanks, Ruby, but I'm a star student at Royal Prep, and I doubt I'll need any help. So, what class do we have first, posture or tea-pouring? |
| Ms. Candoo | We'll start today with science. Everyone take out your rock collections. |
| Princess Amber | Rock collections? |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Don't you have rocks at Royal Prep? |
| Princess Amber | Oh! Yes. I have rubies and diamonds and sapphires... |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Uh, these are a little different. |
| Ms. Candoo | We're going to learn how to make metal objects float in mid-air. |
| Princess Amber | Oh, I know this. We did it at Royal Prep. Watch, she'll use a magic wand. |
| Class | Ooh! |
| Princess Amber | She didn't use a wand. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | We don't do magic here. This is science class. |
| Ms. Candoo | Rocks that act like magnets are called lodestones. Now, let's see how fast you can find your lodestone. How about you, Amber? |
| Princess Amber | Uh, okay, Ms. Candoo. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Done! Hey, Amber. Found your lodestone yet? |
| Princess Amber | Oh. I'll just watch. Clearly, my rocks are broken. Well, I'm sure the Dunwiddie student who is visiting Royal Prep is having just as much trouble there. |
| Princess Sofia | You know what, Jade? Today's the best day I've ever had at RPA. |
| Jade | Mine, too! Of course, it's my only day here so far. |
| Princess Sofia | Ready to go to Dunwiddie for lunch? I can't wait to announce our big news. |
| Jade | Race you! |
| Ms. Candoo | Welcome to all our dear friends from Royal Prep. |
| Flora | And thank you, dear friends at Dunwiddie, for hosting lunch. Now, let's eat! |
| Ms. Candoo | And drink! |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Hi, Sofia. Hey, nice gown, Jade. How's School Swap Day? |
| Jade | Greater than great! I learned how to turn a lime into an emerald. |
| Princess Sofia | And we raced in the flying derby. |
| Jade | And we made this gown with a magic paintbrush! |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Wow! |
| Princess Sofia | What did you learn about at Dunwiddie, Amber? |
| Princess Amber | Rocks. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Amber, that's not true. You watched us learn about rocks, you watched us learn history, and you watched us learn glass-blowing. She's not trying anything at all. I'm starting to think you're afraid. |
| Princess Amber | Afraid? Oh, please! When I see something I think I'll actually enjoy, I'll try it. For example, I'll now try some of that lemonade. Excuse me. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | But, Amber, wait! You have to give a presentation about what you learned later on! I don't think Amber's enjoying School Swap Day very much. |
| Princess Sofia | She'll be okay. Now, Jade, tell Ruby what else you learned today. |
| Jade | You tell her, Sofia. I still can't believe it. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | What? Tell me what? |
| Princess Sofia | We're almost positive Jade is related to royalty! That means she can be a student at Royal Prep full-time! |
| Ruby Hanshaw | No way. That's amazing! |
| Jade | Isn't it? We're gonna make an announcement after everyone's done eating. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | So now I have two best friends who are princesses? Double amazing! |
| Princess Sofia | Oh, there's Ms. Candoo. I haven't seen her in ages. I'm going to say hello. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Jade, Royal Prep! Oh, you're gonna have so much fun. |
| Jade | I know. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | So, then, you probably don't want to eat with us, huh? Not when you can sit with your new classmates. |
| Jade | Oh. Uh, I don't know. I didn't really think about that. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | It's okay, Jade. We'll sure miss seeing you every day at school, but everyone's gonna be really excited for you. Me included. |
| Jade | Thanks. I... |
| Ruby Hanshaw | See you later, Princess Jade. |
| Jade | But, I'm going to miss seeing all of them every day too. Oh, no. Maybe leaving here to go to Royal Prep is a big mistake. |
| Meg | All right, everyone. Let's welcome our guests... |
| Peg | The Dunwiddie way! |
| Meg | ♪ Go, Dunwiddie ♪ |
| Meg and Peg | ♪ Go, Dunwiddie ♪ |
| Meg, Peg, and Ruby Hanshaw | ♪ Hail the green and brown ♪ |
| Dunwiddie students | ♪ Everyone cheer for the school right here |
| Prince James | Great song, Dunwiddie! Here's how we say hello at RPA. |
| Royal Prep students | ♪ Huzzah! Huzzah! |
| All | ♪ Huzzah! Huzzah!/Go Dunwiddie |
| Dunwiddie students | ♪ Dunwiddie! ♪ |
| Royal Prep students | ♪ Huzzah! ♪ |
| All | ♪ Yes, at Royal Prep/Old Dunwiddie |
| Dunwiddie students | ♪ Dunwiddie! ♪ |
| Royal Prep students | ♪ Huzzah! ♪ |
| Jade | ♪ Oh Dunwiddie, No Dunwiddie Ruby, I need your help. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | What's wrong? |
| Jade | I don't think I want to go to Royal Prep. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Are you kidding? You'll learn magic and wear jewels and spend all your time with the royals and... |
| Jade | Yeah, but I'd rather spend time with all my friends here. I mean, the way we all go down to the stream to skip stones during recess. What's better than that? |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Okay. So don't go to Royal Prep if you don't want to. Just tell Sofia. |
| Jade | But she's really excited about me going to her school. I'm afraid I'll hurt her feelings. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | She's your friend. She'll understand. |
| Jade | But, what if she doesn't? |
| Princess Sofia | Jade! So I just had the best idea. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Sofia, Jade has something to tell you, too. |
| Princess Sofia | What is it? Is something wrong? |
| Jade | Uh, no. I mean, sort of. |
| Princess Sofia | You know you can tell me anything, right? And now that we're going to school together, we'll have even more heart-to-heart talks. So, what's the matter? |
| Jade | Well, I... um... I'm really thirsty. Can I have your lemonade? |
| Princess Sofia | Oh, sure. Is that it? |
| Jade | Ah! |
| Princess Sofia | I bet you're nervous about all this. I was when I was new to RPA. But that's why the idea I just had is so perfect. I know we decided to announce the news at lunch, but now I think we should wait. |
| Jade | Yes! |
| Princess Sofia | And tell everyone at tonight's Royal Ball! |
| Jade | What! |
| Princess Sofia | It was at my first ball that I really started to feel like a princess. So, I thought it could be the same for you. |
| Jade | Oh, that's really not necessary. |
| Princess Sofia | Of course it is. I'd do anything to make you feel at home at RPA. What are best friends for? |
| Jade | What can I say? |
| Princess Sofia | You can say yes! |
| Jade | Yes? |
| Princess Sofia | Yes! It's really happening! |
| Flora | All right, everyone, back to class. |
| Ms. Candoo | I hope you enjoyed lunch with everyone from RPA. Now, are you ready for our afternoon class? |
| Princess Amber | Dancing? Royal waving? Anything I'm good at. |
| Ms. Candoo | Architecture. |
| Princess Amber | Oh! |
| Ms. Candoo | Yesterday, you all designed a climb-nasium. Today, you're going to build it. Think you can handle this challenge? |
| Class | Can do, Ms. Candoo! |
| Princess Amber | Wow. That is really loud. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Hey, Amber, want to help me build my climb-nasium? |
| Princess Amber | Oh, I'll just watch. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | No. This time, you have to join us. It's our last class of the day. |
| Princess Amber | Oh. You know, I would, but, uh, oh, I'm not wearing my building dress. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Wear a smock. |
| Princess Amber | Oh, darn! I don't have my tool belt thingy. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Use mine. |
| Princess Amber | Ruby, the truth is, I never learned to build stuff at Royal Prep. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | So? |
| Princess Amber | So, I can curtsey 28 different ways, but I don't know anything about rocks or blowing glass, and I can't tell one end of this hammer from the other. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | It's a wrench. |
| Princess Amber | Oh, see what I mean? This place just isn't for me. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Look, I know it's different than what you're used to at your school, but what we do at Dunwiddie is pretty great, too. Why not just give it a try? |
| Princess Amber | But what if I'm no good at it? What if I make a mistake and everyone laughs at me? |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Or what if you're great at it? What if, maybe, you even enjoy it? Come on, Amber, try it. If anyone laughs at you, they'll have to answer to me. |
| Princess Amber | Oh. Okay. Hand me that screwdriver. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Wrench. |
| Princess Amber | Wrench. Right. I knew that. |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Great work, Amber! We're done. |
| Princess Amber | Oh! |
| Ruby Hanshaw | Oh, no, your gown! |
| Peg | We keep an extra dress here. |
| Meg | For emergencies just like this. |
| Princess Amber | Oh. Well, there's more to life than fashion. I cannot believe I just said that. Anyway, I'll be right back. |
| Flora | I welcome you all, to the School Swap Day Royal Ball. |
| Ms. Candoo | We'll have dancing and song and also a short presentation from each of our two school swapees. |
| Flora | But before we begin, please take a moment to talk to someone you don't know. |
| Ms. Candoo | Because the thing about royals... |
| Flora | And villagers is... |
| Ms. Candoo and Flora | Together, you make up a kingdom! |
| Princess Hildegard | Hello, we're coming over to talk to you, because we don't know you. |
| Princess Amber | Hildegard, it's me. |
| Princess Hildegard | Amber! What did they do to you at that school? |
| Princess Amber | They taught me this. |
| Princess Hildegard | How are you doing that without a wand? |
| Princess Amber | I can do a lot more than that. But you'll have to wait for my presentation to see more. |
| Princess Sofia | So, I'll ask if I can make our announcement before the presentations. Then, I'll introduce you and open the curtain and you'll pull off the sheet. Everyone will see you look just like the portrait, and they'll realize you're royalty. |
| Jade | Uh-huh. |
| Princess Sofia | Uh, you seem distracted. Are you still nervous? |
| Jade | Uh, no, no. There's a stream back there. It reminds me of the stream by the Dunwiddie school where we used to skip stones. Remember? |
| Princess Sofia | We have stones at this stream, too. Tomorrow I'll show you where the magic ones are. They just skip and skip forever. |
| Jade | Oh, great. |
| Princess Sofia | Jade, are you sure you're okay? Is there anything you want to tell me? |
| Jade | Actually, Sofia, this isn't easy for me, but... what's that? |
| Princess Sofia | Just something I thought you'd like. |
| Jade | My own tiara? |
| Princess Sofia | It's just like the one I wore at my first ball. |
| Jade | It's beautiful. |
| Princess Sofia | It's yours. So you'll always know I'm right here beside you. I crown you, Princess Jade. So, what were you about to tell me? |
| Jade | I... nothing. |
| Princess Sofia | Don't worry, Jade. You're going out there, a village girl, but you're coming back, a princess. Miss Flora, may I make an announcement? |
| Flora | Well, I guess it's all right. |
| Princess Sofia | Excuse me, everyone! While Jade was here, she and I made an amazing discovery. We found a new princess! And soon she'll be starting at Royal Prep. |
| Princess Hildegard | A new princess? Why wasn't I notified? |
| Princess Sofia | Without further ado, may I present, Princess... Huh? Where is she? |
| Princess Hildegard | I knew there couldn't be a princess I've never heard of. |
| Princess Sofia | Um, you'll all meet her in a minute. Right after... Amber shows you what she learned at Dunwiddie today. |
| Princess Amber | My turn? Can do! So, the first thing I learned is how to make a wrench float without using a magic wand. |
| Prince James | Whoa! Impressive! |
| Princess Hildegard | Ooh! |
| Princess Amber | You haven't seen anything yet. |
| Princess Sofia | Jade! Where could she be? Wait. I know. Jade? |
| Jade | Oh, hey, Sofia. You were right. These stones do skip forever. |
| Princess Sofia | Why did you leave? |
| Jade | I... can't tell you. Your feelings will get hurt. |
| Princess Sofia | Jade, they won't. |
| Jade | Okay. I'm sorry, but I don't want to go to Royal Prep. |
| Princess Sofia | What! |
| Jade | See? I hurt your feelings. |
| Princess Sofia | I just don't understand. Why not? |
| Jade | I had a great time with you today, Sofia. But if I came here, I would miss all my friends from the Dunwiddie School. |
| Princess Sofia | Oh. I didn't think of that. |
| Jade | Mmm, I knew I shouldn't have told you. |
| Princess Sofia | Jade, wait a minute. Okay, I am disappointed. But only because I realized today how much I missed going to school with you. But I want you to be happy. I'm glad you told me. |
| Jade | You do? Phew! 'Cause it was hard! |
| Princess Sofia | I'm sorry if I made it hard for you to tell me. |
| Jade | You know, it wasn't easy when you went away to Royal Prep, but I got used to it. I just don't think I could get used to being apart from all my other friends now. |
| Princess Sofia | I understand. You don't have to go to Royal Prep if you don't want to. |
| Jade | I don't? |
| Princess Sofia | No. We'll just keep that portrait a secret. |
| Jade | Oh, no, the portrait! They all heard you announce the new princess! Any minute, someone'll pull off that sheet and see the portrait looks just like me! |
| Princess Sofia | Not if we get there first. |
| Princess Amber | So here's what else I learned. The bigger the stone, the more magnetic it is. Watch. A metal bowl. A metal serving tray. And finally... a suit of armor! Whoa! |
| Crowd | Ooh! |
| Princess Amber | Oh! It's, it's the metal in my tool belt. I'll just reach down and unfasten... Oh! Whoa! No need to worry! This kind of thing happens when you try something new. |
| Prince James | Hey, Sofia's back! |
| Princess Amber | Oh... whoa. |
| Princess Hildegard | So where is this new princess? |
| Princess Sofia | I'm sorry, everyone. But there is no new princess. |
| Jade | Yeah, we made a mistake. |
| Princess Amber | Oh, if I can just steady myself by... |
| Princess Sofia | Oh, no! |
| Princess Clio | Jade looks just like that royal portrait. They must be related. |
| Princess Hildegard | So, Jade is a... |
| Princess Clio | Princess. Jade is the new princess! |
| Princess Hildegard | Oh, I feel faint. |
| Princess Amber | Me, too. Can someone get me down? Oh! I'm okay! Mostly. |
| Prince James | So Jade is coming to Royal Prep now? Boom goes the cannon! |
| Princess Sofia | No. Jade won't be coming here. Tell them, Jade. Tell them the truth. |
| Jade | Uh, the truth is, I want to go to Dunwiddie, because that's where my friends are. Most of them. Is that okay? |
| Ms. Candoo | I'm sorry, Jade. I'm afraid there's nothing to be done. |
| Flora | Yes. There is nothing to be done, because you're not a princess. |
| Princess Sofia | She's not? |
| Flora | The lady in that portrait is not royal. She's Frederika Assemblia, the original architect of Royal Prep. She designed this whole school many years ago. That's why we keep her painting in the Hall of Royals. To honor her. |
| Ms. Candoo | You know, Jade, she learned to be an architect at the Dunwiddie School. |
| Jade | So, I'm just regular old Jade from Dunwiddie again? |
| Flora | Yes, dear. You are indeed. |
| Jade | Whoo-hoo! Sorry! I'm just really happy not to be royal. |
| Princess Hildegard | Wait. What? |
| Ruby Hanshaw | And we're really happy to have you back at Dunwiddie. |
| Princess Amber | Ooh, still a little dizzy. |
| Princess Hildegard | You'll be okay, Amber. We just need to get you back into a royal gown. |
| Princess Amber | It was fun to try something new, but it's good to be home. |
| Princess Sofia | Well, Jade, there's one thing I know. Wherever you go to school, you will always be my friend. |
| Jade | And you will always be my friend, Sofia. |
| Princess Sofia and Jade | Like two birdies in a tree, two friends are the best to be. One plus one makes it twice as much fun! |
