Below is a transcribed copy of the Sofia the First episode "The Silent Knight".
| Speaker | Dialogue |
|---|---|
| Prince James | Nice move, Sir Maxwell! |
| Princess Sofia | Hey! Did I miss anything? |
| Prince James | Only some incredible dueling by the best knights in the kingdom! |
| Princess Sofia | You're Sir Bartleby, aren't you? I can't believe I'm meeting my favorite knight! I'm your biggest fan. |
| Sir Bartleby doesn't say anything. | |
| Princess Amber | Well, that was rude. He didn't say one word to you! |
| Prince James | That's because Sir Bartleby's the Silent Knight. |
| Princess Sofia | No one's ever heard him talk, but everyone knows he's the bravest knight in the kingdom! |
| King Roland II | Ah, I see the knights have arrived. |
| Prince James | Why are they all here? Is there going to be a jousting match? |
| King Roland II | Actually, James, they're here to prepare for the Shield of Valor ceremony tomorrow. |
| Princess Sofia | What's the Shield of Valor? |
| King Roland II | It's a special award we give to someone for being very brave. |
| Princess Amber | Which knight is getting it, Daddy? |
| King Roland II | None of them. |
| Princess Amber | Then who? |
| Aunt Tilly | En garde, you nutty knights! |
| King Roland II | Your Aunt Tilly, that's who. |
| Aunt Tilly | Take that! Over there, behind you! |
| Prince James | Whoa, look at her go! |
| Princess Amber | I hope she doesn't hurt herself. |
| Princess Sofia | I'd worry more about the knights. |
| Aunt Tilly | Touché! En garde! Down low! Too slow! And that is why I never leave home without an umbrella. Hi, there, baby brother. Oh, I mean, king baby brother. Hello, little royals. |
| Princess Sofia | Hi, Aunt Tilly! |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh, it's so nice of you to have me over. But really, there's no need to make a fuss. |
| King Roland II | Of course there is, Tilly! You tamed the Dreadful Dragon of Dashwood. That's why your aunt is getting the Shield of Valor. |
| Prince James | Whoa! |
| Aunt Tilly | I know, right? Very impressive, but turns out that dragon wasn't so dreadful, after all. Just really nervous. So, I taught him how to knit, and he calmed right down. |
| Princess Amber | You taught a dragon how to knit? |
| Aunt Tilly | Uh-huh, and crochet! He made me these scarves. |
| Princess Sofia | Oh, they look very... warm. |
| Aunt Tilly | They are. One's for me, and one's for the handsome adventurer of my dreams, if I ever meet him. |
| King Roland II | Oh, don't worry, Tilly. You'll find that special someone. |
| Princess Sofia | And he'll be great, just like you! |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh, that'll be whiz-bang. But in the meantime, two scarves for me! |
| King Roland II | Ah, the trumpets! If you'll excuse me... Esteemed Knights of Enchancia, it is time to rehearse the procession for tomorrow's ceremony. To your horses! |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh, what a great idea! I think I'll go for a ride too. |
| Princess Sofia | Aunt Tilly, shouldn't you be facing forward? |
| Aunt Tilly | Then how will I see what's behind me? Hi-ya! Oh, I remember when that happened, two seconds ago. This is fun! |
| Princess Sofia | Aunt Tilly, look out! |
| Aunt Tilly | Whoo-ee! Oh! Why, thank you, my knight-in-not-so-shining armor. I'm Tilly. Oh, I see. You're the strong, silent type. |
| Princess Sofia | Are you all right? |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh, yes, I am just fine. Uh, but next time, uh, I'll ride forward and you'll ride backwards! |
| Princess Sofia | Are you okay, Sir Bartleby? |
| Princess Amber | What's wrong with him, Sofia? |
| Princess Sofia | I think he likes Aunt Tilly. |
| Princess Amber | So? |
| Princess Sofia | I mean, he really likes her. |
| Princess Amber | Oh! |
| Princess Sofia | I'll go find out. |
| King Roland II | Well done, men! James, what are you doing? |
| Prince James | I wanna be a knight too. |
| King Roland II | Becoming a knight takes years of training. And first, you have to be a squire. |
| Prince James | But Dad, a squire just follows the knight around, and carries his stuff. |
| Sir Finnegan | A squire does more than that! Pardon my interruption, Your Majesty. |
| King Roland II | It's okay, Sir Finnegan. You're quite right. Being a squire is an important job. And the first step to being a knight. |
| Prince James | Then I wanna be a squire. |
| Sir Finnegan | Well, you're in luck, 'cause I need a new one. A good squire is hard to find. I must've gone through eight this week. |
| King Roland II | Hmm, so what do you say, James? Are you ready to be a squire? |
| Prince James | I sure am! |
| Sir Finnegan | Then hold my shield, little prince. |
| Prince James | The name's Prince James! |
| Sir Finnegan | Everyone knows that, little prince. Let's move out! |
| Princess Sofia | Sir Bartleby? I was wondering if... Well, I couldn't help but notice... Do you like my Aunt Tilly? Wait! Don't go away. It's okay if you do. Aunt Tilly's the best. And she's always looking for someone to go on adventures with. Maybe that could be you. So, do you like her? Do you? Do you? |
| A moment of silence... | |
| Sir Bartleby | [revealing his unusually helium-pitched voice] I love her! |
| Princess Sofia | You talked? You can talk? |
| Sir Bartleby | I can, Princess Sofia. I just don't like to. Not with a voice like this. So, I'll never be able to tell your Aunt Tilly how I feel. |
| Princess Sofia | You could try. |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh, but she might laugh at me, and I couldn't bear that. |
| Princess Sofia | Don't worry, Sir Bartleby. I'll help you show Aunt Tilly how you feel without having to say a single word. |
| Sir Bartleby | You will? But how? |
| Princess Sofia | Good question. I know. You can write to her. |
| Sir Bartleby | Like a letter? Or a poem! |
| Princess Sofia | Even better! |
| Sir Bartleby | Okay. Now, what rhymes with "dazzling"? |
| Princess Sofia | Huh? |
| Sir Bartleby | Dazzling! |
| Prince James | I sharpened your sword, Sir Finnegan! |
| Sir Finnegan | Hmm. Not bad, little prince. But what about my other swords? And why haven't you brought my horse? |
| Prince James | Because you didn't ask me to? |
| Sir Finnegan | That's no excuse! A good squire knows what his knight wants before the knight knows he wants it. Got it? |
| Prince James | Got it. |
| Sir Finnegan | Good. So what do I want next? |
| Prince James | Um, your helmet? |
| Sir Finnegan | No, a sandwich! You've got a lot to learn, little prince! |
| Prince James | You can call me "James." |
| Sir Finnegan | Still waiting for my sandwich, little prince. Eh, grilled cheese would be great. Don't forget to cut off the crusts! Ah, and shine my armor while you're at it. |
| Sir Bartleby | "Perhaps it is the way you ride backwards on a horse, or that you taught a dragon to knit instead of scorch." Oh, it's silly, isn't it? |
| Princess Sofia | No, it's sweet. |
| Sir Bartleby | No, it's silly. |
| Princess Sofia | There's Aunt Tilly. You could give her your poem now. |
| Sir Bartleby | Okay. My poem! |
| Princess Sofia | Catch it! It's blowing away! Whoa! Whee! |
| Aunt Tilly | Look at that! Summer sledding! Now, that's whiz-bang! |
| King Roland II | Ah... ah... |
| Princess Sofia | Dad, no! |
| King Roland II | Achoo! Huh. |
| Sir Bartleby | It's ruined! |
| King Roland II | Did you want something, Sofia? |
| Princess Sofia | I did, but never mind. See you later, Dad. Wait! Don't give up, Sir Bartleby. I think you should just tell Aunt Tilly how you feel. |
| Sir Bartleby | I'm afraid I can't do that, Princess Sofia. Not with this voice. |
| Princess Sofia | But there are other things we could try. Like... |
| Sir Maxwell | ♪ Oh, a mighty knight is full of fight ♪ |
| Princess Sofia | Who's that? |
| Sir Bartleby | It's Sir Maxwell. He loves to sing. |
| Sir Maxwell | ♪ A mighty knight is full of fight ♪ |
| Princess Sofia | That's it! If you won't talk to Aunt Tilly, why don't you sing to her? |
| Sir Bartleby | Ugh. My singing voice is even worse than my talking voice! |
| Princess Sofia | Oh. |
| Sir Maxwell | ♪ Oh, with my helmet on my head |
| Sir Bartleby | But maybe I could borrow Sir Maxwell's voice! |
| Sir Maxwell | ♪ I ride 'cross dusty plains |
| Princess Sofia | What do you mean? |
| Sir Bartleby | I'll turn my poem into a song and have Sir Maxwell sing it! Only, he'll hide behind this bush. Then I'll stand over here, and pretend I'm singing to Tilly! |
| Princess Sofia | Wouldn't it be easier to just sing the song yourself? |
| Sir Bartleby | With a voice like this? How can I? Trust me, Princess Sofia, this is a great plan! |
| Princess Sofia | Mmm, okay. Let's go ask Sir Maxwell if he'll help. |
| Sir Maxwell | ♪ Oh, I shine this shield for the battlefield ♪ |
| Princess Sofia | Uh, excuse me. Sir Maxwell, can you do a favor for Sir Bartleby? |
| Sir Maxwell | What kind of favor, my lady? |
| Princess Sofia | We need you to sing. |
| Sir Maxwell | Well, in that case... ♪ Count me in ♪ |
| Prince James | "Still waiting for me sandwich, little prince." That's it. I give up! |
| Aunt Tilly | ♪ Ooh-hoo-hoo, trying to catch up to my shadow ♪ Oh, where are you going, James? |
| Prince James | I'm quitting. |
| Aunt Tilly | Quitting? |
| Prince James | All Sir Finnegan wants me to do is sharpen this and shine that. It's boring and I'm not even good at it. |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh, I suppose you thought being a knight was nothing more than riding around on a horse, carrying a big sword? |
| Prince James | Yeah, and a big shield! |
| Aunt Tilly | Ah, well, being a knight is much more than that. It's about being the first to head into dark, creepy woods to see what's lurking there. It's about climbing to the tippy tops of icy peaks to battle snow monsters! |
| Prince James | Yeah! |
| Aunt Tilly | But you can't do any of that without a well-saddled horse and clean armor. And if you're wondering why Sir Finnegan is being so tough on you, think about it. Think of how tough a snow monster is going to be! |
| Prince James | He's training me to be a knight! |
| Aunt Tilly | Exactly! So, do you still wanna quit? |
| Prince James | No way! |
| Aunt Tilly | That's the spirit, my boy! Now, you better get polishing because you missed a few spots. |
| Princess Sofia | There you are, Aunt Tilly. I couldn't find you anywhere. |
| Aunt Tilly | Well, that's because I wasn't anywhere. I was right here! |
| Princess Sofia | There's a surprise for you in the garden. |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh! Really? Well, we shouldn't keep it waiting then, should we? |
| Sir Maxwell | ♪ Ma may mee mow moo Uh, your lady love approacheth. Time for me to hide! |
| Princess Sofia | Here's your surprise, Aunt Tilly. Sir Bartleby has a song he'd like to sing for you. |
| Aunt Tilly | The Silent Knight sings? Well, that's something you don't hear every day. Alley-oop. Ready when you are! |
| Princess Sofia | All right. A one, and a two, and a... |
| Sir Maxwell starts his song; Sir Bartleby lip-syncs. | |
| Sir Maxwell | ♪ Perhaps it is the way |
| Aunt Tilly | Is this about me? |
| Sir Maxwell | ♪ You have a special style ♪ |
| Aunt Tilly | How sweet! |
| Sir Maxwell | ♪ That makes me just want to smile ♪ |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh, my. |
| Sir Maxwell | ♪ I hope I'm not too bold |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh, you feel all that about little ol' me? |
| Sir Maxwell | ♪ I've spent my life fighting Oh! Hello. |
| Aunt Tilly | Wait a minute. It was you singing this whole time? |
| Sir Maxwell | Yes. It was I. |
| Aunt Tilly | So, did you really mean all those things you sang? |
| Sir Maxwell | Well, Sir Bartleby wrote the song. |
| Aunt Tilly | Well, Sir Bartleby, was this some kind of a joke? Because if it was, it's, uh, not very funny. |
| Princess Sofia | Just tell her. |
| Aunt Tilly | Yes, Sir Bartleby, tell me. Well, okay. Uh, I have to get ready for the banquet, so I'll leave you two to your shenanigans. |
| Sir Maxwell | I'm sorry, Sir Bartleby. Perhaps a little fencing practice will take your mind off things. |
| Princess Sofia | Don't worry. I'll think of another way to help you with Aunt Tilly. |
| Princess Amber | Oh, Sofia, it's time to get dressed for the banquet! |
| Princess Sofia | In a minute. I'm trying to help Sir Bartleby. |
| Princess Amber | You can help him after you change. We have to put on our gowns and dancing shoes. |
| Princess Sofia | There's going to be dancing tonight? |
| Princess Amber | Mmm-hmm. |
| Princess Sofia | I've got it! |
| Sir Bartleby | You want me to dance with Tilly? |
| Princess Sofia | Yes! At the banquet tonight. |
| Sir Bartleby | But I can't dance. |
| Princess Sofia | Sure you can. I saw the way you moved your feet when you were fencing. It's just like dancing. |
| Sir Bartleby | No, it's not! |
| Princess Sofia | Yes, it is. Come on, I'll teach you the royal reel. Move your feet like this. See? Hop right, hop left. Now, clap. Now, spin around. You got this, come on! You're doing great! Now, go back the other way. |
| Sir Bartleby | Ha! I think I'm getting the hang of this. |
| Princess Sofia | You sure are. Dancing's the perfect way to have fun with Aunt Tilly without saying anything. Go, Sir Bartleby! Woop, woop! |
| King Roland II | James? |
| Prince James | Oh. Hi, Dad. |
| King Roland II | Shouldn't you be getting ready for the banquet? |
| Prince James | I'm not going. |
| King Roland II | You're not? |
| Prince James | I have too much work to do. After I finish the armor, I have to clean Sir Finnegan's saddle and sword. |
| King Roland II | Well, I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you took a little break. |
| Prince James | Yes, he would. But that's okay. This is what I have to do if I wanna be a great knight one day. |
| King Roland II | Huh! You're absolutely right. |
| Princess Sofia | Here we are. |
| Sir Bartleby | And there's Tilly. |
| Aunt Tilly | And he's really a very sweet dragon. When he's not setting everything on fire. |
| Sir Bartleby | I wish I could talk to her. |
| Princess Sofia | At least you're going to dance with her. Ready? |
| Sir Bartleby | No. But I'll do it anyway. |
| Princess Sofia | Now's your chance. Good luck. |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh. Hello, Sir Bartleby. Ah, the royal feel. I love this dance. Are you asking me to dance? Why, I'd love to. My, aren't you light on your feet? Where did you learn to dance so well? Oh, silly me. You don't talk. |
| Princess Sofia | Uh-oh! |
| Sir Bartleby | I'm sorry. |
| Aunt Tilly | Sir Bartleby! Did you say something? Oh, well, that was one way to sweep a girl off her feet. |
| Princess Sofia | Wait! It wasn't as bad as you think. |
| Sir Bartleby | It was worse! I give up! It was silly to think she would love me, with a voice like this. Perhaps I'm just meant to be alone. |
| Sir Finnegan | Little prince! Where is my armor? |
| Prince James | Right here, sir. |
| Sir Finnegan | I meant, why isn't my armor on me? Honestly, little prince, you've got to be more... |
| Prince James | Done, sir! |
| Sir Finnegan | Not half bad. But where is my... |
| Prince James | Sword. |
| Sir Finnegan | And my... |
| Prince James | Shield. |
| Sir Finnegan | Okay. But have you got my... |
| Prince James | Your horse is saddled up and ready to go. |
| Sir Finnegan | Perfectly groomed horse. Sparkling armor. Sword is nice and sharp. Impressive work. I'm ready for the ceremony. Well, aren't you coming? |
| Prince James | What do you mean? |
| Sir Finnegan | I want everyone to see my excellent squire riding at my side. |
| Prince James | Really? Thank you, Sir Finnegan! |
| Sir Finnegan | You're welcome, Prince James. |
| Princess Sofia | I don't think you should give up, Sir Bartleby. You're the bravest of the brave. |
| Sir Bartleby | So they say. |
| Princess Sofia | You've fought ogres and giants, and who knows what else. If you were brave enough to do all that, then I know you can be brave enough to tell Aunt Tilly how you feel. No matter what your voice sounds like. |
| Sir Bartleby | It's not the same kind of bravery. |
| Princess Sofia | No. This kind is harder. Sir Bartleby, don't be afraid to be yourself. |
| King Roland II | Good morrow, everyone. We are here to honor the Duchess Matilda, with the Shield of Valor award, for her bravery taming the Dreadful Dragon of Dashwood. |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh, whiz-bang. Thanks, everyone. |
| King Roland II | Now then, to present the Shield of Valor, I'd like to call up our kingdom's most decorated knight, Sir Bartleby! |
| Princess Sofia | You can do it. Tell her. |
| Sir Bartleby | My dear Duchess Matilda... |
| Princess Amber | He can talk? |
| Princess Sofia | Yep. |
| Sir Bartleby | I, I... um, uh... I think you're wonderful. |
| Aunt Tilly | Oh. You do? He does? |
| Sir Bartleby | If I have been acting strange, it is only because being around you makes me very happy. |
| Aunt Tilly | You don't say. |
| Sir Bartleby | I wanted to tell you how I feel, but I didn't because... well, because I was afraid of what you'd think of my voice. |
| Aunt Tilly | Your voice? I love your voice! |
| Sir Bartleby | Why? |
| Aunt Tilly | Why, I've never heard anything like it. And I love one-of-a-kind things. |
| Sir Bartleby | You are one-of-a-kind! |
| Aunt Tilly | And you are whiz-bang! |
| Sir Bartleby | Uh, is that a good thing? |
| Princess Sofia | It's the best thing! |
| Sir Bartleby | Then if I may, it would be my honor to give you a tour of the Enchanted Forest sometime. |
| Aunt Tilly | Why wait for sometime, when we can go now? |
| Sir Bartleby | Well, then, whiz-bang! May I present to you the Shield of Valor. Thank you for all your help, Princess Sofia. |
| Princess Sofia | You're welcome, Sir Bartleby. |
| Aunt Tilly | Sir Bartleby, I thought you preferred riding shields. |
| Sir Bartleby | Good point! |
| Aunt Tilly | Wait! I almost forgot something. |
| Sir Bartleby | Now we're ready. |
| Princess Sofia | See you later, Aunt Tilly! |
| Aunt Tilly | Bye, dear. See you soon. And thank you for the sled, Roland! I mean shield! |
| Princess Sofia | It looks like Aunt Tilly found her special someone. But he does have an odd voice. |
| Princess Sofia | I didn't notice. |
