Below is a transcribed copy of the Sofia the First episode "The Secret Library".

Speaker	Dialogue
Princess Sofia	We got this, Minimus!
Aunt Tilly	Lovely day for a ride, Sofia! Mind if I join you?
Princess Sofia	Aunt Tilly!
Aunt Tilly	Whoa! What's the rush?
Princess Sofia	We're racing, but that's okay. I'll get them next time. So how long are you staying?
Aunt Tilly	Oh, just long enough. Tell me, Sofia, have you finished the book I gave you?
Princess Sofia	I just finished Chapter Twelve. I never knew how many kings and queens there were in Enchancia.
Aunt Tilly	Oh, there's a lot of history in these walls. Wait till you get to Chapter Seventeen. That's my favorite. But you should keep reading, because knowledge is the key to everything.
Princess Sofia	"Chapter Seventeen, Behind the Walls." What's this? Whoa!
Clover	Hey! Whatcha doin', Sof?
Princess Sofia	Clover! I found this book inside my book! Did you know there are secret passageways in the castle?
Clover	Hello? How do you think I get in here?
Princess Sofia	Huh?
Clover	Ta-da!
Princess Sofia	Huh. [She opens the door just as her amulet turns blue.] Huh. My amulet's never turned blue before. I want to look around in there.
Clover	Too bad you're not rabbit-sized.
Princess Sofia	But I could be. My amulet gave me the power to shrink, remember? I wish to be small.
Clover	Are you sure you wanna poke around in there? Some of those passageways go all the way under the castle.
Princess Sofia	Sounds like fun.
Clover	Not as much fun as staying up here and taking a nap.
Princess Sofia	I'll be back soon. [She goes through the door to the passageway.] I wish to be big again. [Sofia makes her way through the corridor, her blue amulet leading the way, and stops at a river when a boat appears. She then hops on, and the boat takes her through settings that reference many different Disney Princess movies before stopping at a staircase.] Oh. [The amulet then lights up the staircase, which Sofia climbs, and finds a door at the end.] How do I get in without a key? [She tries to open the door to no avail.] How do I get in? Hmm. Maybe there's something in the book about it. [The book and the amulet glow, referencing that the book is the key. Sofia pictures it and decides to try.] Hmm. Knowledge is the key to everything. Uh. [She places the book in the lock, opening the door. Once Sofia gets the book back, she goes through the door.] Unh. [She then enters the Secret Library.] Wow! Look at all these books. Huh? Hmm. [She hops on the floating elevator, which takes her through all parts of the library.] Wow. Hmm? [The elevator takes her to the view of Enchancia, including its castle.] My castle? [The camera pans out to reveal that the Secret Library is inside a magical tree.] Wh...Where am I?
Aunt Tilly	The Secret Library.
Princess Sofia	Aunt Tilly? What are you doing here? How did you find this place?
Aunt Tilly	The same way as you, dear, although I did it 30 years ago.
Princess Sofia	You've been here before?
Aunt Tilly	Many times. But this is the visit I've been looking forward to the most. Now, come along, we've much to do. Much to do. We have to see if you have what it takes to be the next Storykeeper.
Princess Sofia	Storykeeper?
Aunt Tilly	See all those books on the walls?
Princess Sofia	Uh-huh.
Aunt Tilly	Well, most of them don't have endings yet. It's been my job to go out and find whoever the book is about and help them finish their story. And now, I'm hoping, that job will be yours.
Princess Sofia	Why me?
Aunt Tilly	The answer is right there around your neck, Sofia. The Amulet of Avalor led you here, just like it led me here when I wore it.
Princess Sofia	You wore the amulet?
Aunt Tilly	Yes, I did, when I was a young princess. The amulet is how I knew you could be the next Storykeeper. That and passing all my little tests. Which is why I gave you the key to the library.
Princess Sofia	Oh...
Aunt Tilly	You should really sit down now.
Princess Sofia	What's happening?
Aunt Tilly	Oh, this is exciting. The library is choosing your first story. Here it comes now. Well, what are you waiting for? Open it.
Princess Sofia	The Tale of Wildwing Valley.
Aunt Tilly	Mmm. Interesting.
Narrator	Once upon a pasture, there was a flying horse named Mazzimo, who lived with his family at a royal stable. Even though he served a kind and noble king, Mazzimo yearned to be wild. One night, a visiting horse told Mazzimo about Wildwing Valley, a magically hidden land where enchanted creatures roam free. Mazzimo knew he had to find this valley. So he said goodbye to his father, mother, and brother, who liked living at the castle and didn't understand why he was leaving. They were very sad to see him go.
Princess Sofia	That's Minimus! Mazzimo is his brother?
Aunt Tilly	The things you learn from books.
Narrator	Mazzimo flew off in search of Wildwing Valley. But on his way there, he was captured by the knights of Borrea. Mazzimo was taken to the castle of Prince Roderick, where he has been held against his will to this day.
Princess Sofia	That's awful.
Aunt Tilly	Unless you give the story a better ending.
Princess Sofia	I'm supposed to save Mazzimo?
Aunt Tilly	And help him find Wildwing Valley.
Princess Sofia	I'm not sure I can do this.
Aunt Tilly	I know. Being Storykeeper is not easy. But you can do it, Sofia, or you wouldn't be here. So the real question isn't "can you do it?" It's "will you do it?"
Princess Sofia	I will.
Aunt Tilly	Whiz bang!
Princess Sofia	But I don't even know where to start.
Aunt Tilly	You can start by putting on something more adventurous.
Princess Sofia	That's not what I meant.
Aunt Tilly	Mmm, how about this? I'll come with you this one time.
Princess Sofia	Thanks.
[Cut to Minimus eating straw outside Enchancia Castle.]
Princess Sofia	Minimus!
Minimus	What's up, Sofia?
Princess Sofia	Come on. We're going to save your brother.
Minimus	Mazzimo's in trouble? Oh! Well, then we have to help him! What are we waiting for? Let's go! Wait, where are we going? And how did you know I have a brother?
Princess Sofia	I'll tell you on the way!
Aunt Tilly	Are you talking to your horse, Sofia?
Princess Sofia	Oh. The amulet gave me the power to talk to animals.
Aunt Tilly	I should've known. The amulet gave me all sorts of powers when I wore it. Oh, I guess I should introduce you to my horse, Athena.
Princess Sofia	Nice to meet you, Athena.
Aunt Tilly	Okay, then. Let's shake a horse feather!
Princess Sofia	Is Borrea far?
Aunt Tilly	It's only two kingdoms over, across the Strangeway Channel.
[They soon arrive at Borrea and its castle.]
Aunt Tilly	That's one big stable.
Princess Sofia	Mazzimo's probably in there somewhere. Maybe I should search one end and you search the other.
Aunt Tilly	Good idea.
[Sofia and Tilly search the stables when a trapped horse kicks a door, which captures Sofia and Minimus' attention. The horse is revealed to be Mazzimo.]
Minimus	Mazzimo?
Mazzimo	Minimus! Good to see you, bro!
Minimus	It's been so long... since you took off and left us for no reason! You didn't even send a postcard!
Princess Sofia	Uh, Minimus...
Mazzimo	Whoa! I had a reason.
Minimus	And then we come here to save you, and this is, like, the nicest stable ever.
Tempest	That's what we keep telling him, but does he listen? No.
Ellegra	We even have heated stalls.
Minimus	Heated stalls? The only way to heat my stall is to have a dragon set it on fire.
Mazzimo	Yeah, it's nice in here. But a cozy cage is still a cage.
Ellegra	It's not a cage! It's a royal stable. And you are lucky to be here.
Mazzimo	I'd rather be free.
Minimus	Here we go again.
Mazzimo	All right, Minimus, yeah, maybe you'd be living it up in here. You don't mind letting people ride around on your back. But that's not how I fly, bro. Mazzimo gotta roam.
Minimus	I really don't get you.
Mazzimo	I don't get you, either, but you're my brother, so I let it slide.
Princess Sofia	Guys? Maybe we can talk about this after we get out of here, okay?
Aunt Tilly	Ah, you found him!
Princess Sofia	Uh-huh, but the stall's locked.
Prince Roderick	Hello? Do I know you?
Princess Sofia	Uh, not yet. I'm Princess Sofia of Enchancia. And this is my Aunt Tilly.
Aunt Tilly	Good afternoon.
Prince Roderick	I didn't know we were expecting visitors today, Gavin.
Gavin	We weren't, sire.
Prince Roderick	Ah, well, guests are always welcome, although they usually knock first. I am Prince Roderick. You know, I was just about to take my horse for a spin, if you care to join me. He hasn't quite taken to me yet, but I'm sure he'll come around.
Mazzimo	No way I'm letting that guy ride me.
Princess Sofia	Um...Prince Roderick? That's why we're here. Mazzimo wants to be free.
Prince Roderick	Mazzimo? You mean, Thundercloud here?
Mazzimo	Can you believe that name?
Princess Sofia	Your knights captured him, but he doesn't want to be here.
Prince Roderick	Of course he does. This is the best stable in the world.
Aunt Tilly	That may be true, but he's not your horse.
Prince Roderick	I beg to differ. We found him flying loose in my kingdom three months ago. No rider, no markings. I believe the expression is "finders keepers." So there you have it. Now, how about we all go for a ride and have a jolly time? Gavin?
Gavin	Right, sire.
Princess Sofia	Mmm! Fly for it, Mazzimo! Go, go, go!
Aunt Tilly	Watch your step. [She trips Gavin up with her umbrella.]
Princess Sofia	Come on, Aunt Tilly! Let's go!
Prince Roderick	This won't do at all. I suppose we'll have to hunt them down and get my horse back. Right. Let's saddle up, Gavin.
Mazzimo	Whoo-hoo! Oh, I owe you guys big time! Hey, you wanna come to Wildwing Valley with me? It's just past those gorges.
Princess Sofia	Wherever we go, we'd better hurry, because they're chasing us!
Prince Roderick	A-hunting we will go, Gavin!
Aunt Tilly	We should probably try to get them off our trail.
Princess Sofia	Let's try to lose them in the gorges. Come on!
Mazzimo	Wow, you are faster than you used to be! You ever think about racing?
Minimus	Well, now that you mention it, you know, we've actually won a few races. Wait a second, I'm still angry at you!
Princess Sofia	Faster, Minimus! Go, go, go! Hyah!
Gavin	That's it, Tempest! Reel them in!
Prince Roderick	Gavin! Prepare the rope.
Princess Sofia	Aunt Tilly! They're catching up!
Aunt Tilly	No worries. I know just the thing to slow them down. [She activates her noise maker, causing confetti to go in the faces of Prince Roderick and Gavin, hindering their progress.]
Prince Roderick	Oh! Where did all this come from?
Gavin	So sorry, sir.
Prince Roderick	It's spoiling my suit!
Mazzimo	Minimus, I just don't understand why you're so angry.
Minimus	Of course you don't. Because finding this valley is all you care about. You know, when you took off, you didn't just leave the stable. You left Mom and Dad and me!
Princess Sofia	Look out!
Minimus	Whoa! [He stops before he crashes in a tree. As a result, Sofia falls off.]
Princess Sofia	Whoa!
Minimus	Sofia!
Aunt Tilly	Gotcha!
Princess Sofia	Your bag!
Aunt Tilly	Oh, hold on!
Minimus	You're lucky she's all right.
Mazzimo	Look, Minimus, there's something you should know.
Minimus	Mazzimo, look out! No! [He pushes Mazzimo out of the way, and he gets captured instead.] No!
Mazzimo	I'll get you loose! Ow! He's got my wing!
Prince Roderick	Excellent! Now they have to fly whichever way we pull. Let's land so we can secure them for the ride back.
Gavin	Shouldn't we let the runt go?
Prince Roderick	No, let's keep him. Teach that little princess a lesson.
Princess Sofia	The prince caught them!
Aunt Tilly	Then we'll just have to un-catch them.
Princess Sofia	How? The prince has a sword. All we have is...an umbrella.
Aunt Tilly	The umbrella can be mightier than the sword, Sofia.
Princess Sofia	We need your bag. I'm sure there are tons of things we can use in there. Let's land and look for it.
Aunt Tilly	Okey-dokey.
Princess Sofia	Let's spread out. I'll check over here. You check over there. Oh, where is it? Oh! [She trips on a rock.] Oh, I'm never going to find it! I can't do this. I can't do any of this. I'm no Storykeeper. [Her amulet glows and an arrow from Merida, who the amulet summoned, is shot at her direction.]
Merida	Have I got your attention?
Princess Sofia	Merida!
Merida	How can I help you, Sofia?
Princess Sofia	My friends are in great danger, but I don't know how you can help, unless you know where Tilly's bag is.
Merida	Oh, you don't need her bag of tricks. You're searching for the wrong thing in the wrong place. What you need can only be found within you.
Princes Sofia	What's that?
Merida	The belief that you can save them yourself.
Princess Sofia	That's just it. I'm still getting used to being a princess. How am I supposed to finish all those stories in the library if I can't even finish this one? ♪ Even though I've just begun To somehow get these stories done How can I aim so high When I've let down everyone? Now I feel like I'm a fake Thinking there must be some mistake I can't see why she chose me When I don't have what it takes Oh, can I lead the way? Make everything okay? Just how am I supposed to save the day? And what is there to say When my chance has flown away Why'd I think that I could be the one to save the day? ♪
Merida	You can sing all you want about your doubts. We all have them, but you also have the power to wipe those doubts away. If you believe in yourself and what you can do, just stand tall, and your aim will always be true. You can save your friends, and you know it. So get on with it!
Princess Sofia	You're right, Merida.
Merida	Well, Sofia, what are you waiting for?
Princess Sofia	♪ I may not know exactly how I'll do it But I know that I can free them If I put my heart into it Oh. I can lead the way Make everything okay I'm the one that has to save the day. And there's nothing more to say 'Cept up, up and away Cause I believe that I will be the one to save the day Save the day Save the day ♪
Minimus	I can't stand being tied up like this.
Mazzimo	Now you know how I feel every say I spend in a horse stall. That's why I had to leave home, and it was the toughest thing I've ever done, 'cause, you know, I love you. But I couldn't stay in a place where I felt all tied up all the time. You know what I mean?
Minimus	Yeah, Mazzimo, I...I do. I finally do. I'm sorry I was so angry at you.
Mazzimo	I'm sorry I got you all caught up in this.
Tempest	Oh! Do we have to take 'em back, Ellegra?
Ellegra	We are royal horses, Tempest. We have to do what the prince commands.
Prince Roderick	To the castle, Tempest!
Minimus	Whoa!
Athena	Uh, Sofia, I hate to be a stickler for details, but do you have any kind of a plan?
Princess Sofia	Let's hope the umbrella is mightier than the sword. Now fly me to Minimus. But be as quiet as you can.
Athena	Gotcha! Goin' into stealth mode.
Prince Roderick	I don't know about you, but this racing about has made me famished. I hope lunch is ready when we return.
Princess Sofia	Unh! Unh!
Minimus	Sofia?
Princess Sofia	Shh! Athena, go back and get Aunt Tilly.
Athena	Done and done!
Gavin	Prince Roderick!
Prince Roderick	Ah, Princess Sofia. You can have your horse back. I still have mine. Now fly along home before someone gets hurt.
Princess Sofia	En garde!
Prince Roderick	An umbrella? What do you expect to do with that? Wait for rain? You can't be serious. I'll chop that thing in half.
Princess Sofia	You won't get the chance. Hyah! Hyah!
Prince Roderick	What is she doing?
Princess Sofia	Tuck your wings, Minimus!
Minimus	Tucked and ready!
Prince Roderick	Whoa! Ouchee!
Gavin	Prince Roderick!
Mazzimo	Happy trails!
Prince Roderick	Gavin, come and fetch me.
Princess Sofia	I just need to get you untied.
Tempest	Take your time, Princess. We shoulda let you go in the first place.
Minimus	Here, Sofia. Let me. [He breaks the rope tying the horses together.]
Princess Sofia	All right, let's go back for Aunt Tilly.
Aunt Tilly	Sofia! Look what I found!
Princess Sofia	Your bag.
Mazzimo	Hey! It's the Glittering Gorge! That's the way to Wildwing Valley!
Princess Sofia	Then let's go.
Tempest	Hey, Mazzimo, do you mind if I come along? I think I've had enough of Prince Roderick.
Mazzimo	Sure thing, Tempest.
Prince Roderick	Where is Tempest going?
Ellegra	Ohh! Wait for me!
Roderick	Ellegra! What a thoroughly ungrateful horse.
Gavin	Guess we're walking, sire.
Princess Sofia	Uh, Mazzimo, that looks like a dead end up ahead.
Mazzimo	It's a hidden valley, remember?
Aunt Tilly	Sofia, why are we flying right toward that cliff?
Princess Sofia	Mazzimo says it's the way to the valley, and I believe him.
Aunt Tilly	Well, I guess one way or another, we're going to finish this story!
Minimus	I can't look!
[They go through the wall, which was revealed to not be a cliff, but the way to the hidden valley.]
Princess Sofia	It was an illusion! You can open your eyes now, Minimus. You'll wanna see this.
Mazzimo	Wildwing Valley! I'm finally here!
Marchand	Welcome to the valley. I'm Marchand.
Mazzimo	Mazzimo. I've been lookin' for this place for a long time. Hey! Why don't you stay with me, Minimus?
Minimus	I know Mazzimo gotta roam, but Minimus gotta go home. I guess we're just horses of a different color, but you're still my brother, and I love you.
Mazzimo	I love you, too, bro.
Minimus	I'll come back and visit you sometime.
Mazzimo	You know where to find me.
Marchand	Time to hit the skies!
[The horses take off.]
Princess Sofia	Bye, Mazzimo!
Aunt Tilly	Fly safe!
[Mazzimo follows the horses. Cut back to the Secret Library, where the first book goes back where it belongs.]
Aunt Tilly	Congratulations, Sofia. You finished your first story.
Princess Sofia	So what's next?
Aunt Tilly	Why don't you have a seat and find out, Storykeeper?
[A scene of the exterior of the Secret Library is shown.]
