QUEEN
Snow, where are you? I've left you three voicemail messages.
SNOW
SNOW
What do u want Betty?
QUEEN
QUEEN
I wish you'd call me Mother.
I didn't see you at lunch. Where are you?
SNOW
SNOW
Ur NOT my mother.
SNOW
SNOW
And ur so controlling, God. Leave me alone.
QUEEN
QUEEN
I'm just concerned, dear. It's nearly dark.
You're not out in the woods, are you?
QUEEN
QUEEN
Snow? Answer me, please.
QUEEN
QUEEN
I'm calling you now.
Fifteen minutes later...
QUEEN
QUEEN
Peter, I need you to do something for me.
HUNTSMAN
HUNTSMAN
Yes, your Highness.
QUEEN
QUEEN
The princess is out again god knows where.
She's not answering my calls.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Please find her and bring her home.
I'm very worried.
HUNTSMAN
HUNTSMAN
Of course, Your Highness. Right away.
QUEEN
QUEEN
She may not be too willing to go with you.
Please do whatever is necessary for her to comply.
HUNTSMAN
HUNTSMAN
I will do so immediately.
An hour later ...
QUEEN
QUEEN
Snow, where are you? Please call me back.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Why did you run away? I sent Peter to fetch you and bring you back home.
QUEEN
QUEEN
He said you attacked him and ran away.
SNOW
SNOW
Ough, y is that creepy guy being so dramatic.
SNOW
SNOW
I didn't "attack" him, ok?
QUEEN
QUEEN
You kicked him between his legs. How could you?
QUEEN
QUEEN
We should be grateful he's not suing.
SNOW
SNOW
He tried to sling me over his horse!
Like I was a sack of flour or something.
SNOW
SNOW
And he tried to grab me. Broke the chain of my favourite heart locket.
QUEEN
QUEEN
If only you hadn't made a fuss. You left him no choice.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Your locket is here. Peter brought it home.
QUEEN
QUEEN
I know your father gave you that locket, and how much it means to you.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Now please come home. Prince James will be paying us a visit tonight.
SNOW
SNOW
Ought, that perv. No thanks.
QUEEN
QUEEN
He is the crown prince of his kingdom. And he wishes to make you his princess.
SNOW
SNOW
No way. That sicko keeps trying to put me to sleep.
SNOW
SNOW
Once, he slipped a roofie in my drink.
SNOW
SNOW
If I didn't see him, who knows what unspeakable things he could have done to me while I was unconscious.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Now, Snow. The prince may have peculiar tastes, but he's royalty. They're always a bit eccentric.
SNOW
SNOW
Probably all that inbreeding.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Well, luckily, his only unmarried cousin has dropped dead from the consumption.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Now he has to find a bride from among the neighbouring kingdoms. That's you, my dear.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Your father would have been so proud.
SNOW
SNOW
Well, my dearly departed Father will have to be disappointed this time.
SNOW
SNOW
No way am I marrying that sicko.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Snow, please. If that's how you feel, at least come home so we can discuss it.
SNOW
SNOW
What's there to discuss? I'm not marrying him. Period.
QUEEN
QUEEN
He will be our guest for the next three days. At least try to be nice.
SNOW
SNOW
Ough no. Why do you think I don't want to be home right now?
QUEEN
QUEEN
Snow, as your stepmother and queen, I order you to come home this instant.
SNOW
SNOW
Fat chance. Bye stepmother. I'm off to a party.
QUEEN
QUEEN
In the forest??
SNOW
SNOW
Yeah. Lydia's boyfriend's bandmate's friends are having a little thing in a cottage somewhere.
QUEEN
QUEEN
I knew that girl was a bad influence on you.
Later
SNOW
SNOW
OMG Lydia where are you?
LYDIA
LYDIA
Hey babe. Where u at?
SNOW
SNOW
I'm at the party, you moron. You were supposed to be here an hour ago.
LYDIA
LYDIA
Sorry, babe. Eric and I had a fight. Then we made up.
LYDIA
LYDIA
And then we made up again.
SNOW
SNOW
STOP. TMI, lady.
LYDIA
LYDIA
I was just sharing. Cuz ur my best friend and all.
SNOW
SNOW
Why don't you just send me the sex tape and get it over with. Ough.
LYDIA
LYDIA
Y u so uptight tonight?
SNOW
SNOW
Because I'm surrounded by short hairy men who keep trying to look up my skirt, that's why.
SNOW
SNOW
You said Eric's bandmate's friends were cute.
LYDIA
LYDIA
They are!
SNOW
SNOW
They're SHORT.
LYDIA
LYDIA
Don't be a bitch. They're just height-challenged, okay? And they're called dwarves.
SNOW
SNOW
I don't care. Get me out of here.
LYDIA
LYDIA
Uh, babe, not sure when we can swing by. Eric's asleep.
SNOW
SNOW
Shit.
Thirty minutes later.
SNOW
SNOW
Stepmother, I've been trying to call you for HOURS.
SNOW
SNOW
Pick up, please?
QUEEN
QUEEN
Oh sorry, dear. Been busy.
SNOW
SNOW
I've decided I want to go home now.
QUEEN
QUEEN
I see.
SNOW
SNOW
Yeah. So if you could just have Peter come find me somewhere in the North side of the woods, that would be great.
QUEEN
QUEEN
That's all right, dear. There's no rush.
SNOW
SNOW
What?? I thought you wanted me home?
QUEEN
QUEEN
I do! Of course I do.
QUEEN
QUEEN
But things are going really well here right now.
SNOW
SNOW
What the hell is going on.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Well, remember that half-starved waif Peter found in the woods the other day?
SNOW
SNOW
The one who kept falling asleep? Ough, yes.
SNOW
SNOW
Once she pricked her finger on a fork and fell headfirst into her soup.
SNOW
SNOW
Her snoring is even worse than Father's.
SNOW
SNOW
Hang on. What does she have to do with anything?
QUEEN
QUEEN
Her name is Aurora. And as it turns out, she's a princess too!
SNOW
SNOW
What??
QUEEN
QUEEN
Yes. Imagine that! She had been cursed by an evil fairy when she was a baby.
SNOW
SNOW
You don't say.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Oh yes. Prince James is quite taken by her.
SNOW
SNOW
HELL NO.
QUEEN
QUEEN
I do remember you saying you didn't want him.
SNOW
SNOW
That doesn't mean you can give that poor girl to him!
SNOW
SNOW
Did you miss the part where I told you he's practically a necrophile?
QUEEN
QUEEN
I don't know what that is, darling. But he will be king someday. King!
SNOW
SNOW
Mother, I'm cold and hungry. And it's dark.
SNOW
SNOW
Please come get me now.
QUEEN
QUEEN
I'm sorry, dear. But Peter refuses to have anything to do with you now.
SNOW
SNOW
WTF??
QUEEN
QUEEN
It's your own fault. You kicked him in a very delicate area.
SNOW
SNOW
So what? He's your servant. He will do anything you say.
QUEEN
QUEEN
I don't want to upset him. The Prince has just made him his BFF.
SNOW
SNOW
OMG mother.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Oh, NOW I'm your mother eh?
QUEEN
QUEEN
Do you realise the only thing that's kept Prince James's kingdom from invading ours was your betrothal?
SNOW
SNOW
I'm sorry. Will you please have someone get me now?
SNOW
SNOW
Send the cook or something. I don't care who.
QUEEN
QUEEN
All right. But when you get back here, you're not to show your face in front of our guests.
QUEEN
QUEEN
We found the prince his bride. We just need to keep him on our good side.
QUEEN
QUEEN
Say, Princess Anne will be needing a ladies' maid for her trip to James's kingdom.
QUEEN
QUEEN
You can do that, can't you? Brush her hair. Get her dressed?
SNOW
SNOW
FML.
