Where are you, you little rascal?
I'm coming to get you.
_________________________________
Hm. (CHUCKLES)
_________________________________
Where is my little birthday girl, hm?
_________________________________
I'm going to gobble her up when I find her.

Can I? Can I? Can I? Can I?

Please? Can I? (LAUGHS)
_________________________________
 -Not with that. Why not...
-(GIGGLES)
_________________________________
 ...use your very own?

-(GASPS)
-Happy birthday, my wee darling!
_________________________________
(BOW BEING PLUCKED)
_________________________________
 -Now, there's a good girl.
-(STRAINS)
_________________________________
Draw all the way back now
to your cheek. That's right.
_________________________________
Keep both eyes open.
_________________________________
And, loose!
_________________________________
-I missed.
-Go and fetch it, then.
_________________________________
A bow, Fergus? She's a lady.

ELINOR:
Merida, come along, sweetheart.
_________________________________
-We're leaving now.
-MERIDA: I saw a wisp.
_________________________________
-I saw a wisp.
-A wisp?
_________________________________
You know, some say that
will-o'-the-wisps lead you to your fate.
_________________________________
-Oh, aye. Or an arrow.
-Och!
_________________________________
Come on, let's be off before we see
a dancing Tatty Bogle.
_________________________________
Or a giant having a jigger

Well, he should. Because it's true.

MERIDA: Some say our destiny
is tied to the land...
_________________________________
...as much a pan' of us as we are of it.
_________________________________
Others say fate is woven together
like a cloth.
_________________________________
(THUNDER RUMBLES)
_________________________________
So that one's destiny intertwines
with many others.
_________________________________
It's the one thing we search for
or fight to change.
_________________________________
Some never find it.
_________________________________
But there are some who are led.
_________________________________
(YELLS)
_________________________________
The story of how my father lost his leg
_________________________________
to the demon bear Mor'du
became legend.

I became a sister to three new brothers.
_________________________________
The princes.
Hamish, Hubert and Harris.

They get away with murder.
_________________________________
I can never get away with anything.
_________________________________
I'm the princess.
_________________________________
-Oh!
-(BAGPIPES PLAYING)
_________________________________
MERIDA: I'm the example.
_________________________________
(SLURPS)
_________________________________
I've got duties, responsibilities,
expectations.
_________________________________
My whole life is planned out,
_________________________________
preparing for the day I become...
_________________________________
Well, my mother.
_________________________________
She's in charge
of every single day of my life.

from anywhere in the room,
_________________________________
or it's all for naught.
_________________________________
-This is all for naught.
-I heard that!
_________________________________
-(SIGHS)
-From the top.
_________________________________
A princess must be knowledgeable
about her kingdom.

-...is compassionate...
-(CHICKEN SQUAWKS)
_________________________________
...patient, cautious,

_________________________________
And above all, a princess
strives for... Well, perfection.
_________________________________
MERIDA: But every once in a while,
_________________________________
there's a day
when I don't have to be a princess.
_________________________________
No lessons, no expectations.
_________________________________
A day where anything can happen.
_________________________________
A day I can change my fate.
_________________________________
Yah!

I'm starving. You hungry too, Angus?
_________________________________
Pfft!
_________________________________
-Oats it is, then.
-(SNORTS)
_________________________________
Good day, Princess.
_________________________________
I cannot find the salt.
Where did you put it?
_________________________________
It was over there a minute ago,
the last time I looked at it.
_________________________________
And then, out of nowhere,
the biggest bear you've ever seen!
_________________________________
His hide littered with the weapons
of fallen warriors.
_________________________________
His face scarred with one dead eye.
_________________________________
I drew my sword and...
_________________________________
Whoosh!
_________________________________
One swipe, his sword shattered.
_________________________________
Then "chomp"! Dad's leg was clean off.
_________________________________
Down the monster's throat it went.
_________________________________
Oh, that's my favorite part.
_________________________________
Mor'du has never been seen since,
_________________________________
and is roaming the wilds
waiting his chance of revenge.
_________________________________
-(ROARING)
-Let him return.
_________________________________
I'll finish what I guddled
in the first place.
_________________________________
Merida, a princess does not place
her weapons on the table.
_________________________________
Mum! It's just my bow.
_________________________________
A princess should not have weapons
in my opinion.
_________________________________
FERGUS: Leave her be.
_________________________________
Princess or not,
learning to fight is essential.
_________________________________
Mum?
You'll never guess what I did today.
_________________________________
-Hm?
-I climbed the Crone's Tooth,
_________________________________
and drank from the Fire Falls.
_________________________________
Fire Falls?
_________________________________
They say only the ancient kings
were brave enough to drink the fire.
_________________________________
(LAUGHS)
_________________________________
-What did you do, dear?
-Nothing, Mum.
_________________________________
Hungry, aren't we?
_________________________________
-Mum!
-You'll get dreadful collywobbles.
_________________________________
Oh, Fergus, will you look at
your daughter's plate?
_________________________________
-(DOGS BARKING)
-So what?
_________________________________
-Oh, you great...
-Don't let them lick... (SIGHS)
_________________________________
Boys, you're naughty.
_________________________________
Don't just play with your haggis.
_________________________________
-Urgh! (GAGGING)
-Och, how do you know you don't like it,
_________________________________
if you won't try it?
_________________________________
That's just a wee sheep's stomach.
_________________________________
It's delicious. Mm! (SMACKS LIPS)
_________________________________
-My lady.
-Thank you, Maudie.
_________________________________
FERGUS: You're getting too big,
the two of you.
_________________________________
ELINOR: Aha.
_________________________________
From the Lords Macintosh,
MacGuffin and Dingwall.
_________________________________
Their responses, no doubt.
_________________________________
Aye, aye!
_________________________________
-FERGUS: Hey, hey! (LAUGHS)
-(MUNCHING LOUDLY)
_________________________________
Stay out of my food,
you greedy mongrels.
_________________________________
Chew on that, you manky dogs!
_________________________________
-(FERGUS LAUGHS)
-Fergus?
_________________________________
They've all accepted.
_________________________________
(DOGS SLOBBERING)

Who's accepted what, Mother?
_________________________________
Boys, you are excused.
_________________________________
(GIGGLING)
_________________________________
-Oof!
-(DOGS BARKING)
_________________________________
Hey! (LAUGHS)
_________________________________
What did I do now?
_________________________________
Your father has something
to discuss with you.
_________________________________
Fergus?
_________________________________
Oh. (CLEARS THROAT)
_________________________________
(COUGHS)
_________________________________
Er... Merida.
_________________________________
(SIGHS) The lords are presenting
their sons as suitors for your betrothal.
_________________________________
-What?
-The clans have accepted.
_________________________________
-Dad!
-What? (STAMMERS) I...
_________________________________
You... She... Elinor?
_________________________________
Honestly, Merida, I don't know why
you're reacting this way.
_________________________________
(SIGHS IN FRUSTRATION)
_________________________________
This year, each clan will present a suitor
to compete in the games for your hand.
_________________________________
I suppose a princess
just does what she's told?
_________________________________
A princess does not raise her voice.
_________________________________
Merida, this is what you've been
preparing for your whole life.
_________________________________
No, it's what you've been preparing
me for my whole life.
_________________________________
I won't go through with it.
You can't make me.
_________________________________
Merida!
_________________________________
Huh? Merida!
_________________________________
-Urgh!
-(DOGS BARKING)
_________________________________
Boys!
_________________________________
(GRUNTING)
_________________________________
Mother. Suitors? Marriage?
_________________________________
Once there was an ancient kingdom...
_________________________________
Oh, Mum!
_________________________________
Ancient kingdom.
_________________________________
Its name long forgotten,
_________________________________
ruled by a wise and fair king
who was much beloved.
_________________________________
And when he grew old he divided
the kingdom among his four sons,
_________________________________
that they should be the pillars
on which the peace of the land rested.
_________________________________
But the oldest prince
wanted to rule the land for himself.
_________________________________
He followed his own path
and the kingdom fell
_________________________________
to war, and chaos and ruin.
_________________________________
That's a nice story.
_________________________________
It's not just a story, Merida.
_________________________________
Legends are lessons.
They ring with truths.
_________________________________
Och, Mum.
_________________________________
I would advise you
to make your peace with this.
_________________________________
The clans are coming
to present their suitors.
_________________________________
-It's not fair.
-Och, Merida.
_________________________________
It's marriage.
It's not the end of the world.

-FERGUS: You're muttering.
-I don't mutter.
_________________________________
Aye, you do. You mutter, lass,
when something's troubling you.
_________________________________
I blame you. Stubbornness.
_________________________________
It's entirely from your side of the family.
_________________________________
(LAUGHS) I take it the talk
didn't go too well, then?
_________________________________
Ooh, I don't know what to do.
_________________________________
-Speak to her, dear.
-I do speak to her.
_________________________________
-She just doesn't listen.
-Come on, now.
_________________________________
Pretend I'm Merida. Speak to me.
_________________________________
What would you say?
_________________________________
Ooh... I can't do this.
_________________________________
Sure you can.
_________________________________
There, there. That's my queen.
_________________________________
Right, here we go.
_________________________________
"I don't want to get married."
_________________________________
"I want to stay single
and let my hair flow in the wind"
_________________________________
"as I ride through the glen
firing arrows into the sunset."
_________________________________
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
_________________________________
Merida, all this work,
all the time spent preparing you,
_________________________________
schooling you,
giving you everything we never had.
_________________________________
I ask you, what do you expect us to do?
_________________________________
Call off the gathering.
Would that kill them?
_________________________________
You're the queen.
_________________________________
You can just tell the lords
the princess is not ready for this.
_________________________________
In fact, she might not ever be ready
for this, so that's that.
_________________________________
Good day to you. We'll expect your
declarations of war in the morning.
_________________________________
I understand this must all seem unfair.
_________________________________
Even I had reservations
when I faced betrothal.
_________________________________
But we can't just run away
from who we are.
_________________________________
I don't want my life to be over.
_________________________________
I want my freedom!
_________________________________
But are you willing to pay the price
your freedom will cost?
_________________________________
I'm not doing any of this to hurt you.
_________________________________
If you could just try to see what I do,
I do out of love.
_________________________________
But it's my life, it's... (SIGHS)
_________________________________
I'm just not ready.
_________________________________
I think you'd see, if you could just...
_________________________________
I think I could make you understand
if you would just...
_________________________________
-...listen.
-...listen.
_________________________________
(WHINNIES)

I swear, Angus,
this isn't going to happen.

Not if I have any say in it.

You're never there for me.

This whole marriage is what you want.

Do you ever bother
to ask what I want? No.

Well, I'm not going to be like you.

Oh, you're acting like a child.

A spell that would change his fate.

And did he get what he was after?

Well, you're home now,

Have you changed your mind at all
about the marriage and all that?

Oh, that's better.

Bah, it's just a legend.

Legends are lessons.

They ring with truths.
_________________________________
Our kingdom is young.
_________________________________
Our stories are not yet legend.
_________________________________
But in them, our bond was struck.
_________________________________
Our clans were once enemies.
_________________________________
But when invaders threatened us
from the sea,
_________________________________
you joined together to defend our lands.
_________________________________
You fought for each other.
_________________________________
You risked everything for each other.
_________________________________
Lord MacGuffin, my dad saved your life,
_________________________________
stopping an arrow
as you ran to Dingwall's aid.
_________________________________
Aye, and I'll never forget it.
_________________________________
MERIDA: And, Lord Macintosh,
_________________________________
you saved my dad
when you charged in on heavy horse
_________________________________
and held off the advance.
_________________________________
And we all know how Lord Dingwall
broke the enemy line.
_________________________________
With a mighty throw of his spear!
_________________________________
I was aiming at you, you big tumshie.
_________________________________
(ALL LAUGH)
_________________________________
The story of this kingdom
is a powerful one.

My dad rallied your forces

It was an alliance forged in bravery
and friendship
_________________________________
and it lives to this day.

But I've been selfish.

I tore a great rift in our kingdom.

There's no one to blame but me.

And I know now
that I need to amend my mistake
_________________________________
and mend our bond.

And so, there is the matter
of my betrothal.

Well, since you've obviously
made up your minds about this,
_________________________________
I have one thing to say.
_________________________________
-This is...
-A grand idea!

Give us our own say
in choosing our fate.

-What?
-Aye. Why shouldn't we choose?

But she's the princess.
