Below is a transcribed copy of the Sofia the First episode "Sidekick Clio".
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Princess Hildegard | I want to thank you all so much for coming to my going-away lunch. |
| Princess Amber | Of course, Hildegard. |
| Princess Hildegard | And I especially want to thank Clio for planning the lunch. |
| Princess Clio | Thank you for asking me to plan it. |
| Prince James | Why are you having a going-away party when you're only going on vacation for a week? |
| Princess Hildegard | A week is a really long time to be away from my friends, and for them to be away from me. |
| Princess Clio | A really long time. |
| Princess Hildegard | Desmond, a going-away present. How thoughtful. Put this with the others, Clio. |
| Princess Clio | Sure thing, Hildy. |
| Princess Hildegard | Oh, time to go. |
| Princess Clio | I'm going to miss you. |
| Princess Hildegard | Oh, Clio, of course you will. But I'll be back before you know it. |
| Princess Sofia | Clio, are you okay? |
| Princess Clio | I'm not sure where to sit. I usually sit with Hildegard. |
| Princess Sofia | You can sit with me. |
| Princess Clio | Oh, thanks. |
| Princess Sofia | It must be hard having your best friend gone. |
| Princess Clio | It is. We do everything together. |
| Miss Elodie | Hello, Polly! That is what we call a big entrance. How do I know? Because I'm your new theater teacher, Miss Elodie! And you're gonna learn all about entrances, exits, and everything in between, because we're puttin' on a play! Hello Polly is a musical about a young parrot searching for her runaway sister. Now, who would like to be in this play about a parrot on a mission of love? |
| Princess Sofia | I do, I do! |
| Princess Maya | Me, me, me! |
| Princess Kari | Ooh! |
| Miss Elodie | Wonderful. Tryouts will be Friday morning right here on this very stage. To try out, you must perform a song from the play. And for those of you who don't want to be in the play, you can help put on the play. We need someone to be in charge of costumes. |
| Princess Amber | Oh, my specialty. |
| Miss Eoldie | Excellent! Background painting? |
| Prince Desmond | Ooh, me, me. |
| Miss Elodie | Fabulous! Stage effects? |
| Prince James | What are stage effects? |
| Miss Elodie | Things like making the actors fly like birds, creating jungle mist, giving the illusion of fiery torches. |
| Prince James | I love making stuff explode. |
| Miss Elodie | Oh, no explosions, I'm afraid. Maybe next play. But for now, stick with what's on my list. |
| Prince James | Okay. You got it. |
| Princess Sofia | I've never been in a play before. I hope I do okay in the tryouts. |
| Princess Clio | If you wanna come over after school, I could help you pick a song and practice it. |
| Princess Sofia | Really? |
| Princess Clio | Sure. Since Hildegard is gone, I have a lot of free time. |
| Princess Sofia | Thank you, Clio. |
| Princess Clio | So, if I were you, I'd sing Wings of a Dream or First Flight for the tryouts, because those two songs would really show off your voice. |
| Princess Sofia | I like the words to First Flight. I think I'll do that one. Wow! Look at all these hats. |
| Princess Clio | What? You don't like them? |
| Princess Sofia | No, they're great. I've just never seen you wear any of them. |
| Princess Clio | Oh. That's because Hildegard doesn't think they look good on me. |
| Princess Sofia | And you like plays? |
| Princess Clio | I love them. My parents take me to the theater whenever there's a new show. Musicals are my favorite. |
| Princess Sofia | Why don't you try out for the school play? |
| Princess Clio | Oh, no, I couldn't do that. Uh, ready to start practicing? |
| Princess Sofia | I guess I'm a little hoarse. |
| Princess Clio | I'll get you some water. |
| Princess Sofia | That's okay. Thanks. I can get it. |
| Princess Clio | Okay.

| Princess Sofia | Clio, you've got to try out for the play. |
| Princess Clio | I'd really like to, Sofia, but I can't. |
| Princess Sofia | Why not? |
| Princess Clio | Because Hildy doesn't like plays. |
| Princess Sofia | So? |
| Princess Clio | Well, if Hildy doesn't like something, I don't do it. |
| Princess Sofia | Because? |
| Princess Clio | Because we do everything together. |
| Princess Sofia | As long as Hildy wants to do it. |
| Princess Clio | Exactly. |
| Princess Sofia | Well, maybe it's time you did something you want to do. I mean, just because she's your best friend doesn't mean you have to do everything she wants. I think if you want to try out for the play, or wear one of your hats, you should do it, whether Hildy likes it or not. |
| Prince James | All right, Rex, here we go. If this harness works, I'll be able to make the actors fly like real parrots. Time to go for a ride. Whoa! Oops. |
| King Roland II | What was that? |
| Prince James | Oh. Hey, Dad. I was testing out a flying harness for the Royal Prep play. I'm in charge of stage effects. |
| King Roland II | Yes, I see that. Perhaps we should get Cedric to help out. The magical effects will be even more spectacular. And safer. |
| Prince James | Brilliant idea, Dad. |
| King Roland II | Cedric! |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Oh, Your Majesty. Whatever can I do for you? Conjure up magical creatures? Prepare powerful potions? Dazzle you with mystical illusions? |
| King Roland II | I'd like you to help James with the stage effects for his school play. |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | His school play? |
| King Roland II | Surely you can handle that. |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Oh, of course. Children's theater is what I live for. |
| Prince James | All right, Cedric. Let's do it. |
| Princess Clio | Hi, Sofia. |
| Princess Sofia | Hi, Clio. Hey, I like the hat. |
| Princess Clio | Thanks. It's my favorite. |
| Princess Sofia | I'm glad you're wearing what you like. |
| Princess Clio | Me, too. |
| Princess Sofia | Does this mean you're going to try out for the play? |
| Princess Clio | No, I can't do that. Wearing a hat today is one thing. But Hildegard will be here when the play is happening. |
| Prince James | Here's the list of all the effects Miss Elodie wants for the show. |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | There's a list? |
| Prince James | Yep. |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Come, come, come. Let's just get through it quickly so I can get this lowly task over with as soon as possible. |
| Prince James | The first thing we need is something to make the actors fly around the stage like real parrots. |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Fine. I'll make some magical wings. Parrotis-tropicus-flyicus. |
| Princess Penelope | Oh, I'm flying! |
| Prince James | Whoa! |
| Princess Penelope | Look at me! |
| Kids | Amazing! Whoa! |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Oh, you like that trick? |
| Princess Kari | That's the best trick I've seen all year. |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Oh. Well, thank you. So what's next on that list? |
| Princess Sofia | Hi, Amber. How are the costumes coming along? |
| Princess Amber | They'll be fabulous when I find what I'm looking for. |
| Princess Sofia | I'll help you. |
| Princess Amber | Great. Grab anything you think will look good on a parrot. |
| Princess Sofia | Okay. So, Clio wants to try out for the play. |
| Princess Amber | But she won't do it because Hildegard isn't doing it, right? |
| Princess Sofia | Yes. How did you know? |
| Princess Amber | She follows Hildy around. Does whatever Hildy does. Oh, perfect. |
| Princess Sofia | Well, I'm trying to figure out how to get Clio do try out for the play. Do you have any ideas? |
| Princess Amber | Hmm. If Miss Elodie heard Clio sing, maybe she would make Clio try out. She seems very persuasive. |
| Princess Sofia | That's a good idea. |
| Princess Amber | If you can get Clio to sing in front of her. |
| Princess Sofia | Well, sidekicks like to help, right? So if I ask Clio to help me sing in front of Miss Elodie... |
| Princess Amber | You'll get her to sing without her even knowing it. |
| Princess Sofia | Exactly. |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Floating birdcage, done. Now, children, what's next on this list, hmm? Oh, we need a gust of wind, yes? Well, I can do far better than a mere gust. Windious-huffious-puffious! |
| Prince Khalid | Cool! |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Oh, thank you. It does feel so good to finally be appreciated. |
| Miss Elodie | What is all the noise? Excuse me, but what's all the hubbub back here? |
| Prince James | It's wind for the scene where Polly gets stuck in a storm. |
| Miss Elodie | You look a little old to be a student. |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | I am not a student. I am Cedric the Sensational! I'm a sorcerer. |
| Prince James | He's helping me with the stage effects. Isn't that great? |
| Miss Elodie | I suppose a little abracadabra couldn't hurt. Just remember, Mr. Sensational, stick to the effects on my list. Thank you. |
| Princess Sofia | I want to practice my song on stage. Do you mind helping me? |
| Princess Clio | I'd love to. |
| Princess Sofia | Great. Ugh. I forgot the melody. Could you maybe sing the first few lines for me? |
| Princess Clio | Oh, sure.
♪ I'm a bird who never leaves the nest |
| Miss Elodie | You have the voice of a pitch-perfect parrot. |
| Princess Clio | I do? |
| Miss Elodie | You do! And I can't wait to hear you sing your little wings off at tryouts tomorrow. Princess... |
| Princess Clio | Clio. But, um, I won't be trying out. |
| Miss Elodie | But you must! A voice like yours is a bird in a cage, yearning to be set free. Open the cage door, Princess Clio. Spread your vocal wings. Set your little voice free! |
| Princess Clio | Okay. I'm going to do it. |
| Miss Elodie | Oh, happy day! I'll see you tomorrow after school, right on this very stage. Ta-ta, darling. |
| Princess Sofia | Clio, you look great. |
| Princess Clio | Thanks. I thought I'd dress up for the tryouts. |
| Princess Sofia | So what song are you going to do? |
| Princess Clio | Wings of a Dream. I practiced it all night. |
| Princess Hildegard | Clio! |
| Princess Clio | What are you doing here? |
| Princess Hildegard | There was a sudden warm spell in north Freezenburg, so we came home early. Why are you wearing that hat? You know I don't like it. |
| Princess Clio | I forgot. |
| Princess Hildegard | I can't wait to show you all my travel paintings. Here, hold this. |
| Princess Clio | Um, I can't right now. |
| Princess Hildegard | What do you mean? Why not? |
| Princess Clio | Sofia and I are, uh... |
| Princess Sofia | We're trying out for the school play. |
| Princess Hildegard | Without me? You can't be in a play without me. We're best friends. We do everything together. |
| Princess Sofia | You guys can still be best friends even if Clio does some things on her own. |
| Princess Hildegard | But it will take weeks to rehearse and perform a play. Who will pour the tea at my tea parties, and do my homework, and look at all the travel paintings from my trip? |
| Princess Clio | I think I can do all those things and still be in a play. |
| Princess Hildegard | Impossible. You have to choose. The play or me. |
| Princess Sofia | But you shouldn't have to choose. |
| Princess Hildegard | Sofia, this is between me and Clio. |
| Princess Clio | Okay, let's look at your travel paintings. |
| Princess Hildegard | Thank you. Now, come on. I can't wait to tell my best friend all about my vacation. |
| Miss Elodie | High marks for originality. Now, who's next to try out? |
| Prince James | We did the wings, the bird feeder, the wind, the lights. That's everything on the list. We're finished. |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Nonsense. We can't stop now. This is the best sorcery I've ever done. |
| Prince James | But what else can we do? |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Hmm. Well, this play takes place in a tropical jungle, yes? So I shall conjure a jungle that magically grows right before the audience's eyes. Their amazed, adoring eyes. |
| Prince James | Brilliant. Can we add monkeys? |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Of course. You can't have a jungle without monkeys. Jungle-bungle-primungle! |
| Prince James | Whoa! |
| Prince Khalid | ♪ And the carpet keeps on flying ♪ |
| Miss Elodie | What? What? What is going on? Where did all these monkeys come from? |
| Boy | Oh, no. |
| Boy | Look out! |
| Princess Vivian | The backdrop! |
| Miss Elodie | Prince James, Cedric, there are no jungles or monkeys on my list. |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | Well, I know that. But how can I show the crowd how magnificent my sorcery is with just the few things on that list? |
| Prince James | Yeah. |
| Miss Elodie | Oh, I do love your enthusiasm, but you cannot get carried away getting all these things we do not need. Why not simply make the things we need as great as you can? Then everyone will see your talents shining through. And no one will get hurt. Sound like a plan? Great. So you can begin by removing your jungle. And your monkeys. Before they chew up all the scenery. |
| Cedric the Sorcerer | All right. I suppose we could do that. |
| Princess Sofia | Have either of you seen Amber? |
| Prince James | I think she's in the dressing room. |
| Princess Sofia | Thanks. Amber? Amber! |
| Princess Amber | Over here, Sofia. |
| Princess Sofia | Hildegard's back. |
| Princess Amber | And she talked Clio out of auditioning for the play, right? |
| Princess Sofia | Yes. And now I don't know what to do. |
| Princess Amber | Oh, Sofia, it's easy. Find a way to get Hildegard into the theater, and Clio will follow. |
| Princess Sofia | Right. But how are we going to get Hildegard here before tryouts are over? We don't have much time. |
| Princess Amber | Hmm. There has to be some way. |
| Princess Sofia | I know. We need a new backdrop. |
| Princess Amber | So? |
| Princess Sofia | That's how we can get Hildegard to the theater. Okay, here's the plan. |
| Princess Hildegard | Then we hiked all the way up the tallest mountain in Freezenburg... |
| Princess Amber | Oh, Hildy. We need you in the theater right away. |
| Princess Hildegard | Why? |
| Princess Amber | The backdrop for the play broke, and Sofia told me about your amazing travel paintings. So I suggested we use your paintings as backdrops for the play. |
| Princess Hildegard | My paintings? |
| Princess Amber | Yes. So let's see how they look on stage. Come on. |
| Princess Hildegard | Okay. Clio, let's go. |
| Princess Clio | Coming. |
| Princess Sofia | ♪ To end my sister's plight |
| Miss Elodie | Excellent effort. Thank you. Well, guess that's everyone. |
| Princess Sofia | Where's Clio? Wait. I'm not done yet. That was just the first part of my tryout. Here's the second.
♪ The itsy-bitsy spider went up the water spout |
| Miss Elodie | Oh, what a lovely rendition of a classic tune. Now I really have seen all I need. |
| Princess Sofia | ♪ Out came the sun and dried up all the rain Okay, I'm done. But look, Princess Clio's here to try out. |
| Miss Elodie | Oh, happy day. |
| Princess Hildegard | No, no, no. She's not here to try out, Miss Elodie. She's with me. |
| Princess Amber | I'm with her. |
| Princess Hildegard | And I've got the paintings for the backdrop. |
| Miss Elodie | You are adorable, but I have no idea what you're talking about. Clio, you must try out. You must! |
| Princess Hildegard | This was all a trick to get Clio back here, wasn't it? |
| Princess Amber | Maybe. |
| Princess Hildegard | Hmm! Come on, Clio. |
| Princess Sofia | Wait. Clio, you were so excited about this play because singing and dancing makes you happy, and you're really good at it. So it doesn't matter who else is doing it. You can make your own choice. |
| Princess Hildegard | No, she can't. Let's go, Clio. Clio. |
| Princess Clio | I'm not going. |
| Princess Hildegard | What? |
| Princess Clio | I'm trying out for the play. |
| Princess Hildegard | No, you're not. |
| Princess Clio | Yes, I am. |
| Princess Hildegard | But we always do everything together. |
| Princess Clio | That's because I always do everything you want to do, and now I want to do my own thing. And I don't think I should have to choose between being your friend and doing something I love. |
| Princess Hildegard | Well, it looks like you just did. |
| Princess Amber | Uh, excuse me. Uh, Hildy! |
| Princess Sofia | Are you all right? |
| Princess Clio | I wish it didn't have to be like this, but I'll be okay. |
| Miss Elodie | Princess Clio, are you ready? |
| Princess Clio | Yes. I'm ready. |
| Princess Amber | Hildy, wait. |
| Princess Hildegard | What do you want now? |
| Princess Amber | I'm sorry I tricked you, all right, but I had to do it. Come on, Hildegard. Are you really not gonna be friends with Clio anymore? |
| Princess Hildegard | It was her choice, not mine. |
| Princess Amber | It's you who has to make a choice, Hildy. What's more important? Having everything your way, or having a best friend? |
| Princess Clio | I'm going to be singing Wings of a Dream.
♪ I flew through rain and snow |

| Princess Clio | Thank you. |
| Princess Hildegard | Clio, I've missed you. |
| Princess Clio | I've missed you, too. |
| Princess Hildegard | And I was thinking. We don't always have to do what I want. We can do what you want. I just wanna be friends again. |
| Princess Clio | Then let's be friends who don't tell each other what to do. |
