Below is a transcribed copy of the Sofia the First episode "The Princess Prodigy".

Speaker Dialogue
Princess Sofia Wow. They're really good.
Host Thank you, Junior Knight Academy for your valiant performance! Let's see how the judges scored. Flambeau. Oh, a nine out of ten. That's excellent. And now, Crankle the Ogre.
Crankle the Ogre Yeah, 14.
Host Another nine. Well done. And last but not least, the most famous magical musician in all the kingdoms, Baron Von Rocha!
Baron Von Rocha Most famous and most talented.
Host Now, Baron, how do you score the band?
Baron Von Rocha With my usual combination of flair and panache, of course. I give them an eight out of ten.
Princess Sofia I can't believe one of our judges is Baron Von Rocha.
Princess Vivian I've been to every one of his magical music concerts.
Host Now, the final act to perform at our school band showdown will be the Royal Prep Band!
Merryweather It's your turn, children.
Princess Sofia Ready, guys?
Royal Prep Band We're the band that sticks together. Royal Prep's the best band ever!
Baron Von Rocha That mandolin player, she is truly talented.
Host Splendid job. Judges, show us your scores. That's an eight from Flambeau. A seven from Crankle. Baron, what about you?
Baron Von Rocha Today, it was I who witnessed the magic. I give this band a ten! Oh, excuse me.
Host A perfect score from the baron. How about that? And now, the results of tonight's showdown. In third place, Westloch. Second place goes to Royal Prep. And our winners are the Junior Knights Academy! Thanks to all the bands who participated, and we'll see you at the next showdown.
Baron Von Rocha Piccolo, did you see how my magic almost failed me? My adoring fans expect me to be the very best. I must replenish my magic, and that girl who plays the mandolin just might be the key.
Merryweather Oh, children, I'm so proud of you.
Princess Amber Do you like the uniforms I designed, Miss Merryweather?
Merryweather Oh, they're lovely, Amber.
Princess Vivian Did you see the special move Sofia and I worked out?
Princess Sofia We practiced it for weeks.
Merryweather And it was very charming.
Baron Von Rocha It certainly was. Piccolo and I have found your school band's performance absolutely enchanting. Didn't we, Piccolo?
Merryweather Oh, Baron Von Rocha, having you here has truly been an honor.
Baron Von Rocha Yes, but what I came backstage to say is that you, Princess Vivian, are a singular talent.
Princess Vivian Me?
Baron Von Rocha Yes, you. Would you perhaps be interested in learning the art of magical music?
Princess Vivian Wow! I've always wanted to learn magical music.
Baron Von Rocha And I have always wanted to teach it.
Merryweather My goodness, Princess Vivian. What an incredible opportunity.
Princess Vivian Um, Baron Von Rocha, learning magical music would be a dream come true for me, but the thing is, I'm a part of the band, and we stick together. Is there any way you could teach all of us?
Baron Von Rocha Uh, that was not quite what I had in mind, but yes, I could teach all of you.
Princess Sofia Wow!
Princess Vivian Whoo-hoo!
Prince James Yes!
Prince Khalid Yeah!
Princess Amber Amazing!
Merryweather Oh, wonderful! Come to the school tomorrow, and I'll make sure you have everything you need.
Princess Sofia I can't believe it. We're going to learn magical music from Baron Von Rocha.
Princess Vivian We are the luckiest band in the world.
Prince James Wow! Are you gonna teach us to do that?
Baron Von Rocha Oh, no, no, no, no, no. That is an advanced spell that only someone with an enormous amount of musical talent like myself, can do.
Princess Vivian Well, we're all super excited to learn anything you can teach us.
Princess Sofia We can't wait.
Baron Von Rocha Excellent. Then let us begin.

Royal Prep Band ♪ The music ♪
Baron Von Rocha Now, before we begin, I need to make a few adjustments. Since Vivian is clearly the star of the group, we must place her front and center.
Prince Khalid I didn't know Vivian was the star.
Princess Vivian Of course I'm not. We're all in the band together.
Baron Von Rocha I only meant that Vivian has the most natural talent.
Princess Sofia If Vivian's up front, how will we do our special spin move together?
Princess Vivian It's our part.
Baron Von Rocha But Princess Vivian must have no distractions from her solo.
Princess Vivian I get a solo?
Baron Von Rocha But of course.
Princess Vivian Ooh, uh, this looks really tricky.
Baron Von Rocha Which is why we must devote the rest of the class to practicing it. Now, give it a try.
Princess Amber Baron Von Rocha, um, what are we supposed to be doing?
Princess Vivian Oh.
Baron Von Rocha You're supposed to please not distract Vivian while she's working on her very important solo. Let us try it again from the top.
Prince James It seems like Von Rocha only wants to teach Vivian.
Prince Khalid Yeah.
Princess Sofia I'm sure he'll get to us soon. At least, I hope he does.
Piccolo Oh, boy, this is really stuck. I'll never get it out.
Princess Sofia Sure, you will. Here you go.
Piccolo Oh, thanks. Oh, wait a minute.
Princess Sofia My amulet lets me talk to animals.
Piccolo Oh. Well, to be honest, I'm not much of a talker. I'm more of a singer.
Princess Sofia You sing?
Piccolo Well, I used to. I was once a true songbird with the most gorgeous voice. But now... it's gone. But the baron promised he's working on a spell to get it back.
Baron Von Rocha And Piccolo, stop your squawking and give me a hand.
Piccolo Oh, the baron needs me. I've got to go.
Baron Von Rocha We are done for today. But you lucky children will enjoy lots more practice time with me tomorrow.
Princess Amber Oh, he means his favorite student, Vivian, will.
Princess Vivian Uh, Baron Von Rocha, can I talk to you for a minute? It's about my solo. I'm not sure I should do it. I think my friends feel left out and I don't want to hurt their feelings.
Baron Von Rocha Princess Vivian, you must stop worrying about the other members of your band. They are only holding you back. Just imagine this. At the next band showdown, when you play the special solo I picked out just for you, the entire audience will see how talented you are. They will all burst into applause, and it will be just for you.
Princess Vivian That would be incredible.
Baron Von Rocha But none of that will happen unless you rise above the others and master that solo.
Princess Vivian I will.
Baron Von Rocha Just remember, you are the star.
Princess Vivian I am the star. All right. Thank you, Baron Von Rocha.
Baron Von Rocha Ah, Piccolo, making Princess Vivian the star of the band will drive away her annoying and talentless friends so she can focus on learning that solo. And as soon as she plays that solo, it will cast a magic spell that gives me all of her musical talent. Yes, yes. Just like I borrowed your songbird talent. You know I had to do that. Taking your musical talent gave my powers a boost. But now, they're fading again. Do not worry, my blaring birdy. As soon as I have Princess Vivian's magical talent for my own, I shall return your singing voice. Quickly, students. Everyone inside. Let us begin practicing right away. It is time for Vivian's solo.
Princess Vivian Okay, here it goes.
Prince Khalid I wonder when we get to play.
Prince James I don't know.
Princess Vivian Oh, I messed it up again. Because you guys were doing all that talking.
Prince Khalid We barely made a peep.
Princess Vivian I really need to concentrate.
Baron Von Rocha Of course you do. You are the star of this band.
Princess Vivian That's right. I am.
Baron Von Rocha Perhaps we should all take a short break, so that Princess Vivian can regain her focus, hmm?
Princess Amber Why is Vivian acting so cranky?
Princess Sofia I don't know. But I do know something that always cheers her up. Hey, Vivian, wanna practice our special move? I thought we could add something fun to the ending. Like this.
Princess Vivian Ooh, let me try.
Baron Von Rocha Princess Vivian, what are you doing?
Princess Vivian Our special spin.
Princess Sofia It's our favorite part of being in the band.
Baron Von Rocha This is an unnecessary distraction. You must pour all of your attention into learning your solo.
Princess Vivian Right, right. Sorry, Sofia, but could you please leave me alone? We're all done with the spin forever.
Princess Sofia What?
Princess Vivian Can't you see this solo is really hard? If I'm going to learn it in time for the next band showdown, I don't have to do silly dance moves with you.
Baron Von Rocha To the back, please.
Queen Miranda Sofia? Ah, there you are. Is everything all right?
Princess Sofia Not really, Mom. Vivian and I had a fight today.
Queen Miranda Oh.
Princess Sofia She started acting like she was the star of our band. Like she didn't even need the rest of us.
Queen Miranda I'm sorry, honey. That must've hurt.
Princess Sofia I don't think I want to play in the band with her anymore.
Queen Miranda See, that's the thing about music and friends. You can choose to play alone, or you can play with others and make an even more beautiful sound. You and Vivian have been friends for a long time, and friends should stick together, don't you think? Why don't you give her one more chance?
Princess Sofia Okay, Mom. I will. Thanks.
Princess Vivian Oh, good, you're all here. I wanted to tell you about a few changes the Baron and I wanted to make to the band.
Princess Amber What did you do to your uniform?
Princess Vivian The baron thought it would be better if mine was bright red. That way, I'd really stand out.
Prince Khalid You're already gonna play in front of all of us. Won't that make you stand out enough?
Princess Vivian Oh, that's one of the other changes we made. Now you guys will be way, way in the back, over in that corner, so I definitely won't get distracted during my solo.
Prince James We'll barely have enough room to play over there, Vivian.
Princess Vivian Oh, that's okay. The baron says everyone will be listening to me, anyway. Oh, and one more thing.
Princess Amber Please. No more things.
Prince Khalid Yeah. I've heard enough. If you think you're so special, you can play by yourself, Vivian. I'm quitting the band.
Prince James Me, too.
Princess Amber Me, three. And by the way, the uniforms look nicer in yellow.
Princess Vivian I can't believe the way they're all acting.
Princess Sofia Vivian, I can't believe how you're acting.
Princess Vivian I'm just trying to do what Baron Von Rocha says, and learn magical music the best I can.
Princess Sofia But you're also being really selfish and... and a terrible friend.
Princess Vivian You're quitting, too?
Princess Sofia Yes. Now that the band has a big star, it... it just isn't fun anymore.
Princess Vivian Sofia, wait.
Baron Von Rocha Now, let us get started.
Princess Vivian Baron Von Rocha, I have bad news. I'm so sorry, but everyone else just quit the band.
Baron Von Rocha You do not need the band. Now we can practice without distractions.
Princess Vivian I guess you're right.
Baron von Rocha Then let us begin. Oh, Piccolo, it's finally going to happen. She will at last play the entire solo correctly, and the spell will give me her talent!
Princess Sofia I'm really going to miss playing with Vivian.
Princess Amber And I'm going to miss wearing these fabulous uniforms. Come on, Sofia, let's go.
Baron Von Rocha That's it. You're so very close to finishing the solo. Just a few more notes.
Princess Vivian It's really tricky. I did it! I did it! I finished the solo!
Baron Von Rocha You most certainly did.
Princess Vivian That's strange. It didn't cast any magic spell.
Baron Von Rocha Yes. How odd. Why don't you play it again?
Princess Vivian Oh, that sounded terrible. It's... it's like I've forgotten how to play.
Baron Von Rocha You are just tired, dear princess. You must go and rest.
Princess Vivian Okay. Right. Rest.
Baron Von Rocha Uh, rest up. Goodbye. Bye-bye. I've done it, Piccolo! Her talent is gone, and that means it is now mine! You can stop your screeching, Piccolo. I know what you want. You want me to return your songbird voice. Isn't that right? Well, as it turns out, I did write a piece of magical music that will give you back the talent I've borrowed. But then, why should I? I have changed my mind. I shall keep the talent I stole from Vivian and from you, my dear Piccolo.
Piccolo Princess Sofia, I need your help. Baron Von Rocha cast a spell that took away Vivian's musical talent. Come see.
Princess Vivian What is wrong with me?
Princess Sofia Why would Von Rocha do something so awful?
Piccolo He wanted her talent for himself. He uses magic to steal it.
Princess Sofia What?
Piccolo He did it to Vivian. He did it to me when he took my songbird voice, and he's done it to many others. Each time his powers start to fade, he has to do it all over again.
Princess Sofia There must be a way to get Vivian back her talent.
Piccolo There is. This spell. If you play this in front of Von Rocha, it will give back all the musical talent he's ever stolen.
Princess Sofia I've got to go play it right away.
Piccolo Von Rocha is too powerful for you to face alone.
Princess Sofia But I have to do something.
Piccolo Then let me tell you the secret of magical music. If you play together, as a group, the magic is far more powerful than any one person playing alone.
Princess Sofia I'll get the band. Vivian is heartbroken and we have to help her.
Prince Khalid I don't know, Sofia. After the way she treated us.
Princess Sofia Von Rocha was using her the whole time. He made her act that way.
Princess Amber That may be true, but is it really our job to fix this?
Princess Sofia Of course it is. She's our friend, and she needs us. We've got to stick together.
Prince James You know what? Sofia's right.
Prince Khalid Okay, let's go.
Princess Amber Oh, okay.
Princess Sofia Vivian, come with us.
Princess Vivian Uh, where are you all going?
Princess Sofia We'll explain on the way. Come on. We know what you did to Vivian, Baron Von Rocha.
Princess Vivian You took away my talent.
Princess Sofia And we're gonna take it back. Come on, guys.
Baron Von Rocha Ah, I see what you are trying to you traitorous bird, but it won't work. These amateurs are no match for a musical genius such as myself.
Princess Sofia Everyone start playing. Just follow the musical spell.
Merryweather I heard an awful commotion in here. What's going on?
Princess Sofia Baron Von Rocha, he cast a spell!
Princess Vivian He stole my musical talent.
Merryweather Baron Von Rocha, you won't get away with such a despicable act. Oh!
Princess Sofia Miss Merryweather, help us. If we can get through this magical tune, we'll get Vivian's talent back.
Merryweather Say no more.
Princess Sofia Keep playing. We've almost finished the piece.
Baron Von Rocha No!
Prince James What's happening?
Princess Sofia All of the talent he stole is going back where it belongs.
Princess Vivian Yes!
Baron Von Rocha No, no, no. The great Von Rocha is no longer great. All my talent is gone.
Merryweather And I'm going to make sure it stays that way forever. Your musical thievery is over, Baron.
Baron Von Rocha That is what you think. You haven't heard the last of...
Princess Vivian I think we have, buster.
Baron Von Rocha Whoa! You musical menace! This is not the kind of... You have not seen the last of Von Rocha!
Princess Vivian I'm sorry. I wish I could take back all those terrible things I said.
Princess Sofia We're just glad you got your talent back.
Merryweather And just in time for tomorrow's band showdown.
Princess Vivian Oh, right. Uh, that is, if we're still in the band together.
Princess Amber That depends. Is it going to be how we were before?
Princess Vivian Yes. All of us together as a team.
Princess Sofia What do you say, guys?
Prince James I have just one thing to say.
Royal Prep Band We're the band that sticks together. Royal Prep's the best band ever!
