The Emerald Key/Transcript — sofia

Below is a transcribed copy of the Sofia the First episode "The Emerald Key".

Speaker	Dialogue
Mamanu	There you are, my magical, powerful beauty. At last, you are mine. And soon, the kingdom of Hakalo will be too.
Princess Lani	No! Put that back! It belongs to my family.
	Lani and Mamanu fight over the key; they lose their grip of it and fall off the ship and into the ocean.
Princess Lani	Mom! Dad!
King Kamea	Lei-Lani? Lei-Lani?
Princess Lani	Help!
Queen Halia	Lei-Lani? Are you up here? She fell overboard.
King Kamea	Men, the princess has fallen in the ocean. And the Emerald Key is gone.
Queen Halia	Don't worry, my sweet girl. We will find you.
Princess Lani	Wait. Don't go. Come back.
	Cut to the beach on a cloudy day.
King Roland II	Miranda, looks like a storm's moving in. We should head back.
Queen Miranda	Let's pack up, everyone.
Princess Sofia	All right, Mom. She sees the Emerald Key washed up on the shore. Look at that.
Clover	That's a fancy-looking key.
Princess Sofia	I think it's made of emerald. Look what I found.
Prince James	Hey, it's glowing.
Princess Sofia	Dad, do you think it's magical?
King Roland II	I don't know. I've never seen anything like it before.
Queen Miranda	Well, we have books about magical jewels in the library.
Princess Sofia	Maybe we can check when we get back.
	It starts to rain.
King Roland II	Oh. Time to go.
Mamanu	They have the key. But how will I get it back? I know. I'll tell them that it's my key. And once I get the key, I will have my revenge on Hakalo. Crystal of night and air, make me a princess fair.
	Lightning strikes on the crystal; Mamanu laughs. Cut to Enchancia Castle later that day.
Princess Amber	Ooh, 1,001 Tiaras: The Ultimate Guide to Being a Classic Princess. Ah, I love this book.
King Roland II	Aha, here it is. The Complete Guide to Magical Jewels.
Princess Sofia	There.
Queen Miranda	Oh, I think that's it.
Princess Sofia	"The Emerald Key of Hakalo. The kingdom of Hakalo is a hidden island. Only the Emerald Key can unlock the passage to this island kingdom."
King Roland II	It says the key belongs to the royal family of Hakalo.
Queen Miranda	I've never even heard of that kingdom.
King Roland II	Well, I always thought it was a legend, not a real place.
Baileywick	Your Majesty, there is a visitor at the door who says she is the princess of Hakalo.
Princess Sofia	The Princess of Hakalo?
Princess Amber	Where's the princess?
Princess Lani	Right here. I'm Princess Lei-Lani of Hakalo. But everyone calls me Lani. Sorry I'm dripping everywhere. I fell off my royal ship last night and washed up on your beach.
Queen Miranda	Oh, you poor thing.
Princess Lani	Someone was trying to steal my family's Emerald Key. And when I tried to stop her, we fell overboard. I don't know what to do now. Without that key, my family and I can never get home.
Queen Miranda	It's okay, Lani.
Princess Sofia	We found your key.
Princess Lani	Oh. You don't know how happy that makes me.
	Someone knocks on the door.
Baileywick	I'll get it.
	He opens the door to reveal another Lani but with lighter skin and green eyes.
Princess Lei-Lani	Greetings, Your Majesties. I am Princess Lei-Lani of Hakalo.
Queen Miranda	Wait, what?
Princess Sofia	What? Huh?
Princess Lei-Lani	I see you've found my Emerald Key.
Princess Sofia	But wait. She said she was Princess Lei-Lani.
Princess Lani	I am Princess Lei-Lani!
Princess Lei-Lani	She's lying! I am the real princess. She's trying to steal my key, just like that awful woman last night.
Princess Lani	You're the one who's lying. It's my key. I need it to get home. You have to give it to me.
Princess Lei-Lani	You can't give it to her.
King Roland II	We're not giving the key to either of you until we figure out which one of you is telling the truth.
Queen Miranda	And that may take some time. So let's, let's get you two dried off first.
Baileywick	Right this way, ladies.
King Roland II	I'll send messengers out to sea to look for the King and Queen of Hakalo. They must be worried sick about their daughter.
Princess Sofia	Who do you think is the real princess?
Princess Amber	It's Lei-Lani. Just look at her gown.
Prince James	Lei-Lani does seem more princessy.
Princess Amber	And Lani's so-called crown is just flowers. Not diamond flowers, real flowers.
Princess Sofia	But Lani could still be a princess. I wish there was a way to know who's telling the truth.
Princess Amber	There is. We'll give them a test. Oh! Oh, Daddy.
King Roland II	We have decided that the best way to determine which of you is the true princess is to hold a test.
Queen Miranda	The test will have three challenges.
Princess Amber	All taken from 1,001 Tiaras: The Ultimate Guide to Being a Classic Princess.
King Roland II	I will judge the test, with a little help from the royal family. And whoever does better will get the key.
Princess Lani	I have to do all that just to get my own key back?
Princess Lei-Lani	You mean my key. And I am happy to do whatever you require. Thank you, Your Majesty.
Baileywick	The first challenge will take place in the ballroom. Please, follow me.
	Cut to the ballroom.
Baileywick	The handbook says, "A princess must be graceful." So for this first challenge, you will dance. And we'll see which of you has the grace of a true princess. You may begin.
King Roland II	Lei-Lani is waltzing wonderfully.
Princess Amber	What is Lani doing?
Prince James	I don't know, but it's funny.
Princess Sofia	I like it. Lani, what is that dance?
Princess Lani	It's called the "Swaying Blossom." It's the first dance everyone learns in Hakalo.
Princess Lei-Lani	Unless you're a princess. In which case you learn to waltz.
Princess Amber	The waltz is the most royal dance of all. I think it's quite clear that this round goes to Lei-Lani.
Princess Sofia	I don't know, Amber. Lani's dance may be strange, but it's still graceful.
Queen Miranda	I agree.
King Roland II	Hmm, it is a nice dance. Not as graceful as Lei-Lani's waltz. Lei-Lani wins this challenge.
Princess Lei-Lani	Wonderful.
King Roland II	Baileywick, let's move on to the next challenge.
Baileywick	To the throne room, everyone.
	Cut to the outside of Enchancia Castle and then to the throne room.
Baileywick	"A princess must always be polite." In this next challenge, we will be watching to see how good your manners are. James will pretend to be a duke.
Prince James	The Duke of Jameslandia.
Baileywick	Now, ladies, pretend these presents are from the duke. Please open them, and show us how you would politely thank him.
Princess Lei-Lani	Oh, how nice of you to give me such a wonderful... snail? How disgusting. Why would you give me such a hideous thing?
Princess Amber	That's no way to open a gift.
Princess Lani	Wow, my very own snail. It's so pretty.
Princess Amber	You think it's pretty?
Princess Lani	Yes, the shell reminds me of some of my seashells back home.
Prince James	Does the Duke of Jameslandia give great gifts or what?
Princess Lani	I love it. Thank you.
Princess Lei-Lani	Um, excuse me, everyone. I believe I misspoke earlier when I called the snail hideous. I meant to say, adorable. And I thank you for your generosity.
Princess Sofia	I thought Lani was much nicer when she opened the gift.
Princess Amber	But Lei-Lani curtsied when she thanked James.
Queen Miranda	But Lani sounded more sincere. And gracious.
King Roland II	I agree. Lani wins this challenge.
Princess Sofia	That means it's even.
Princess Lei-Lani	But I should've won. I curtsied. She didn't curtsey. Whoa! [Knocks the cups off the tray held by Violet] Oh. My apologies. Here, let me help.
Violet	Thank you, m'lady.
King Roland II	Now, girls, because we have a tie, whoever wins the next challenge wins the test. Baileywick?
Baileywick	I'm afraid the next challenge takes place outside, and it's still raining, Your Majesty.
Queen Miranda	Okay, girls, we'll have to continue the test in the morning. But we invite you to stay in the castle tonight as our guests.
Princess Lani	I don't have time for that. My family's out there somewhere and we need that key to get home. [She runs outside, where she places the snail near a plant before freeing Clover from a bucket. Sofia witnesses this.] Oh. Hey there, little fella. Did you get stuck in there looking for a snack? Don't worry, I'll find you one. [Gives Clover a blueberry, which he eats.] Let me dry you off, poor thing. You're soaking wet.
Princess Sofia	Lani, are you okay?
Princess Lani	Not really. No one believes I'm the real princess, do they?
Princess Sofia	Well, we're just not sure yet.
Princess Lani	If I don't get the Emerald Key back, my family can't go home. Could you imagine never being able to go home again?
Princess Sofia	No, I couldn't.
Princess Lani	You know, Sofia, I may not know how to waltz or dress as fancy as everyone else, but that doesn't mean I'm not a princess. ♪ I may dance quite differently than you Don't know your ways or what I should do Far from home, I'm feeling lost at sea But I try as best as I can To do the the right thing wherever I am 'Cause I was taught That's just the way of royalty I always thought to be a princess true All that matters are the deeds you do Look for a wrong and make it right Be kind to others day and night Let your inner light shine through That's how to be a princess true ♪
Princess Sofia	You're right, Lani. That's exactly how a princess should act. And it's the way you've been acting all day with Violet and Clover, which means you're the real princess.
Princess Lani	So you believe me?
Princess Sofia	I do. ♪ All along, you have shown so much heart And your kindness has set you apart It took a while, but now I finally see It's how you act and not how you look It's from within you and not from a book So it's clear to me That you deserve the Emerald Key ♪
Princess Sofia and Princess Lani	♪ And now I know to be a princess true All that matters are the deeds you do ♪
Princess Lani	♪ Look for a wrong ♪
Princess Sofia	♪ And make it right ♪
Princess Lani	♪ Be kind to others ♪
Princess Sofia	♪ Day and night ♪
Princess Sofia and Princess Lani	♪ Let your inner light shine through That's how to be a princess true A princess like you ♪
Princess Lani	I'm so glad you believe me. Now I just need to convince the rest of your family.
Princess Sofia	Oh, you will. This'll be your room. But let's get you some pajamas first.
	She escorts her; outside, the other Lani watches and reveals herself to be Mamanu in disguise.
Mamanu	Hmm. It looks like I'll have to make extra sure that little princess fails tomorrow's challenge. I know just the thing. [takes out an enchanted ring] My magic will ruin Lani's sleep. She'll be exhausted for the final test!
	She enters Lani's room unnoticed and places the ring under the mattress, making it all floppy and hard.
Mamanu	That should do nicely.
	Throughout the night, Lani struggles to sleep. Cut to the outside of Enchancia Castle the next day.
Princess Lei-Lani	Rise and shine, everyone! You, too, Lani. Good morning, Princess Sofia.
Princess Sofia	Good morning, Lei-Lani.
Princess Lei-Lani	Who let a rabbit in the castle?
Clover	Oh. If that girl's a princess, I'm a skunk. And I smell good.
Princess Lani	Sofia, what time is it?
Princess Sofia	Almost time for the last challenge. Are you okay?
Princess Lani	No. I'm really tired. I barely slept last night. I just couldn't get comfortable in that bed.
Baileywick	Breakfast is served.
Princess Sofia	Well, you better hurry and get dressed. The challenge starts right after breakfast.
Princess Lani	Okay.
Baileywick	"Chapter eight: A Princess must be smart as well as nimble." Therefore, your next challenge is a race through this maze. Good luck, and may the true princess win. On your mark... Get set. Go!
Princess Lani	Oh. Which way now?
Prince James	Why is Lani moving so slowly?
Princess Sofia	She didn't sleep well.
Princess Amber	Maybe she's not used to sleeping in a castle.
Baileywick	And Lei-Lani wins the challenge!
King Roland II	That settles it. Lei-Lani is the real princess!
Princess Sofia	But, Dad, Lani didn't sleep well next night! I think we need another challenge!
Princess Amber	No, we don't. The test had three challenges, and Lei-Lani did better on two of them.
Princess Sofia	But Lani acts more like a princess!
King Roland II	I'm afraid Amber's right, Sofia. We gave them a fair test and Lei-Lani did better. So we must conclude that she is the true princess. Princess Lei-Lani, I am pleased to return to you your Emerald Key.
Princess Lei-Lani	At last, it's mine! Again!
Guard	Your Majesty. One of the messengers have located the Hakaloan royal ship. The king and queen are on their way.
King Roland II	Marvelous.
Princess Lei-Lani	Oh, I'm just so excited. Perhaps one of your coaches could take me to meet them?
King Roland II	As you wish. Please escort Princess Lei-Lani to our coach.
Guard	Right this way, Princess.
Princess Lani	Did I win? Where's Lei-Lani? Where's the key?
King Roland II	I'm sorry. Lei-Lani made it out of the maze first. We had to give her the key.
Princess Lani	But she's not the real princess! How could you give away my key? [She runs away.]
Princess Sofia	I think we made a big mistake, Lani.
King Roland II	Hmm. You know, Miranda, if Lani isn't the princess of Hakalo, then who is she?
Queen Miranda	We better go find out.
	Cut to Lani's room, where she is joined by Sofia.
Princess Sofia	Lani, I'm sorry.
Princess Lani	What am I gonna do now? How will I ever get back home? And why is this bed so uncomfortable?
Princess Amber	Impossible. Our beds are the softest in the kingdom.
Princess Sofia	Let me try it. [sits on the spelled mattress] Ow! Lani's right, it's really lumpy!
Princess Lani	That's why I couldn't sleep last night.
Princess Amber	Uh. Excuses, excuses. [she tries it] It feels awful! No true princess could ever sleep on this.
Princess Sofia	There must be something under the mattress. Look! [takes out Mamanu's ring]
Prince James	That's Lei-Lani's ring.
Princess Sofia	Lei-Lani must've put it there so Lani wouldn't sleep well and fail the test.
Queen Miranda	Well, I know one thing. A true princess would never cheat.
Princess Amber	If Lei-Lani cheated, then... You are the real princess!
Clover	Hello, people. I could've told you that yesterday.
King Roland II	Then we did make a big mistake.
Princess Sofia	We have to stop her, Dad!
King Roland II	You're right. Quick, to the coach.
Clover	Come on. We got to help 'em.
	Mia and Robin follow Clover. Lei-Lani rides away on a coach with the Royal Family and Lani following.
Princess Sofia	Lei-Lani! Stop! You wouldn't want to leave this behind, would you?
Princess Lei-Lani	Can this thing go any faster?
King Roland II	Stop that coach at once!
Coachman	Whoa. Whoa. [He stops his coach.]
Princess Lani	They all know I'm the real princess. Now give me back the key.
Princess Lei-Lani	Never!
	Mamanu sheds her disguise, revealing her true identity before sending her coachman away with her crystal.
Princess Lani	It's you!
Mamanu	Yes, and now your key is mine! Away!
Princess Sofia	Hurry, Dad, get her.
Princess Lani	She tried to steal the key from my ship last night. She's the reason I fell overboard. Who are you?
Mamanu	I am Mamanu. I was once the royal enchantress of Hakalo.
Princess Lani	I've heard of you. My father caught you stealing magical crystals from the Royal Museum. He banished you from the kingdom forever.
Mamanu	But now that I have the Emerald Key, I will rule Hakalo. You and your parents will never see home sweet home again.
Princess Lani	No.
King Roland II	Hiya! Faster!
Prince James	Whoa!
Clover	Okay, yo, I got an idea. Tell every woodland creature in the forest to stop that creepy lady.
Robin	You got it.
King Roland II	We're losing her.
Princess Lani	Oh.
Princess Sofia	Maybe not. Look, the birds are going after her.
	The birds catch up to Mamanu's coach and surround her.
Mamanu	What's this? Keep going. What's wrong with you?
King Roland II	Hold on.
	Mamanu leaves the coach and runs away.
Princess Amber	Oh. She's getting away.
Clover	Stop right there, creepy lady. [Summons more animals]'
Mamanu	What is this? Get out of my way!
Queen Miranda	Look at that. Those woodland creatures are stopping her.
Princess Lani	I'll take that, Mamanu.
Mamanu	Give that back!
Princess Sofia	You'll have to get past me first.
King Roland II	Past all of us.
	Guards then appear.
King Roland II	Guards, seize her.
Mamanu	You have not seen the last of me. [Teleports away.]
Prince James	Where'd she go?
Princess Amber	Far away, I hope.
Princess Lani	You have no idea how much this key means to me and my family.
King Roland II	Speaking of your family, I say we head back to the castle and meet them.
	They all head back to the castle. Cut to the dock later that day.
King Kamea	Thank you for taking care of your daughter and keeping our key safe.
King Roland II	You're very welcome.
Queen Halia	Now we must be heading home.
Princess Sofia	So I guess it's time to say goodbye?
Princess Lani	We don't say goodbye in Hakalo. We do this: [does a farewell hula dance] It means "until we meet again."
Princess Sofia	Until we meet again. [She hugs Lani before copying the dance.]
King Kamea	Emerald Key, lead us to Hakalo!
