Char: Kiss me...

[Ella leans in]

Char: That wasn't an order.

Ella: I know.

[kisses him]

Char: Ella, tell me how you really feel about me.

Ella: I love you.

Char: Traveling with an elf? What? Your boyfriend couldn't make it?

Ella: No.

Char: [disappointed] Oh.

Ella: Because I don't have a boyfriend.

Char: [happily] Oh.

Ella: What about you? Your girlfriend doesn't mind being left alone?

Char: I don't have a girlfriend.

Ella: [happily] Oh.

Char: I have many.

Ella: [disappointed] Oh.

Char: I'm kidding, you shouldn't believe everything you read in Medieval Teen.

Hattie: Ella stop kissing him. You are never to kiss him again.

Ella: You wanna bet?

[takes her mother's necklace from Hattie and turns back to Char]

Char: Marry me?

Ella: Now that I'll do.

Fan Club Girl: Prince Charmont, are you a fast runner?

Char: Not particularly, no. Why?

Fan Club Girl: Get him!

[a mob of girls start chasing Char]

Ella: Oh, my stepsister Hattie would die if she knew I was here. She's the, uh, the president of your fan club you know.

Char: Oh, Hattie, yah. Thank you. Now I know what name to put on the restraining order.

Ella: [angrily] Prince Charmont.

Char: Please, call me...

[sees Ella for the first time and is smitten]

Char: ...call me Char.

Char: Tell me do you get a kick out of near death experiences?

Ella: No, I was fine, I had things will in hand.

Char: Oh yes, I could see that as you were dangling over the boiling cauldron. No doubt lulling the ogres into a false sense of security.

Char: You can curtsy or not; that's your choice. There's nothing I can do about it... except have you beheaded, but that seems a bit extreme.

Char: These last few days have been so perfect. Except for the bit where we almost got eaten by ogres. And you wrote a letter that ripped out my heart. And I had to dance with Hattie.

[Ella and Char arrive at the giants' wedding party]

Char: I hope this is a good idea. They must hate the royal family.

Ella: No, they'll respect your courage at showing up here. Besides they don't hold grudges... they're bigger than that.

Char: Tell me about your sister.

Hattie: Olive? Idiot.

Char: Uh, no. Ella.

Hattie: Oh. Hmmmph. I don't want to talk about her, she's so dreary.

[giggles]

Hattie: I just want to talk about us.

Char: Us!

Char: You're the first maiden who hasn't swooned at the sight of me.

Ella: Then maybe I've done you some good.

Ella: You're about to become king. You'll have the power to make a difference in the world, and you don't even care.

Char: It's not like I asked to become king. I have no say in the matter.

Ella: Well thanks to your uncle, there are a lot of people who have no say in the matter. Nobody should be forced to do things they don't want to do. Take it from somebody who knows.

Char: Well, that's on our way back to Lamia. We'll accompany you.

Ella: Well, that's not necessary.

Char: But it makes it so much easier rescuing you if I don't have to commute.

Char: Ella of Frell you're not like other girls.

Ella: You have no idea.

Char: Well let me see, so far the score is chivalry two, gratitude zero.

Char: I suppose that dagger that you were ready to plunge into my heart was just an early wedding present.

Char: [Char swings by on a rope, tossing Ella a sword and grabbing one for himself] I can't believe I'm saving you, after you tried to kill me!

Ella: I didn't try to kill you.

Char: [to a member of the Red Guard trying to kill Ella] You stay away from her!

Char: [both of them fight back some guys] What, so that dagger you were about to plunge in my back was just an early wedding present?

Ella: [a guy goes to attack Ella, and Char fights him back. Benny gets turned into a pumpkin accidently. The Red Guards keep attacking] Okay, maybe I did try to kill you, but that wasn't me.

Char: What?

Ella: Okay, maybe it was me, but it wasn't my fault.

[Ella and Char duck right as a guard attacks, causing him to hit 2 guards behind them]

Ella: [Benny gets turned into a man and joins the fight] ... then Edgar found out about the curse and he ordered me to kill you.

[Char fights off a guy behind Ella]

Ella: And the only way I could think of to stop it was to break up with you, even though I'm pretty sure that you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

[while still lookingn at Ella as she explains, Char fights a guy attacking him from behind]

Ella: And that crown he's about to put on your head...

[Ella helps with the guy behind Char]

Ella: It's a trick. It's poisoned.

Char: Duck.

[Ella ducks, as Char swings his stick around, hitting all three Red Guard attacking them]

Ella: [Ella stands up, looking around, rather shocked, at the men on the ground] Whoa.

Char: Edgar's trying to kill me?

Ella: Yes. I - hold on.

[Ella jumps up and kicks a Red Guard behind her, taking him out, rather swiftly]

Ella: [Ella's stepmother is appalled by the act, Heston moves through the crowd] Uh, Char, there's one more thing.

[Edgar throws a shield of of himself and stands. Char looks straight at Ella]

Ella: He killed your father...

Char: Why'd they leave?

Zane Zaminski: They didn't leave.

Char: How do you know?

Zane Zaminski: Because we aren't dead yet.

Zane Ziminski: What's your point? There's always something that gives me false hope? That I'm wasting my life?

Char: I didn't say that. But you know, it's interesting that you did.
