Sofia the First (2013) s01e01 Episode Script
Just One of the Princes
I was the girl in the village doing all right then I became a princess overnight now I gotta figure out how to do it right so much to learn and see up in the castle with my new family in a school that's just for royalty a whole enchanted world is waiting for me I'm so excited to be sofia the first I'm finding out what being royal's all about sofia the first making my way, it's an adventure every day sofia it's gonna be my time to show them all that I'm sofia the first We'd already be there if amber didn't take so long to get ready.
I had to find my derby tiara.
That's the best thing about flying derby.
Everyone dresses up.
The best thing about the flying derby is the race.
It's my favorite sport in the whole kingdom.
Sofia used to pretend to race Using our old mop as her flying horse.
Can we go any faster? I don't want to miss anything.
Coachman, better take the high road.
Yes, your majesty.
( horses whinny ) ( horns sounding ) ( crowd cheering ) We're just in time.
The race is about to start.
( starting bell rings ) ( cheering ) You know, sofia, royal prep has a flying derby team, too.
It does? And we start practicing for it tomorrow.
You could come watch, if you want.
I'm going.
Prince hugo will be there.
He's the best rider in the whole school.
I'm as good as hugo.
( laughing ) oh, you didn't even make the team last year.
This year will be different.
Look at them go! What a great race! ( horse whinnies ) Whoo-hoo! ( laughing ) Yeah! Oh, it would be so much fun To ride in the flying derby.
You should come watch flying derby practice At school tomorrow.
Hmm Maybe I will.
Prince hugo.
Princess amber.
I just wanted to wish you luck.
I'm your biggest fan.
You must be if you're coming to watch practice.
The real show will be the try-out race.
Okay, boys! Let's get started.
Time to fly.
( sighs ) Sofia: Hey, amber! Huh? Sofia! The bleachers are this way.
Good morning! Who's ready to race some flying horses? Good morning, sir gilliam.
Oh.
Hello, princess.
The bleachers are right over there.
I didn't come to watch, sir gilliam.
I came to try out for the team.
What?! What?! What?! What What's wrong? Umm, only princes can ride in the flying derby.
So, princesses can't try out? Well ( stammering ) They could, but The flying derby is just not a princess thing.
there are many things princesses do like hosting balls and dancing too or wearing gowns of pink and blue that's what we like to do there are many things that princes like jousting, polo, and taking hikes suits of armor with lots of spikes that's what we really like we do princess things and we do princely things and no one crosses in between we stick with our routine but who knows what I could bring flying high upon a wing I believe that anything can be a princess thing read a poem or pick daffodils sing wistfully in window sills derby calls for princely skills it's not a proper princess kind of thrill we do princess things and we do princely things and no one crosses in between we stick with our routine we climb trees and jump and swing while we shop for royal bling so don't make a fuss just stick with us and do our princess things but who knows what I could bring flying high up on a wing I believe that anything can be a princess thing Okay.
I went to try out for the flying derby team.
That sounds like fun.
HmmI wish it had been fun.
Uh-oh.
What's wrong? Everyone said that only boys should do it.
What! Robin have you ever heard anything so ridiculous? I don't know.
You say ridiculous things all the time.
Hey, I'm serious, sofia.
If you want to ride those flying fleabags-- And I don't know why you would, Makes me dizzy just thinking about it-- But if you really want to do it, Then I say go for it! There's a first time for everything.
Huh.
You're right, clover.
Huh, there really is a first time for everything.
How was flying derby practice today, james? So, then you did actually practice? More or less.
I have an announcement.
I'm going to try out for the team! ( gasps ) Sofia, I already told you, Princesses don't do that.
Well, there's a first time for everything, amber.
I think it's a wonderful idea.
( clears throat ) As do I.
But she doesn't know anything about flying derby.
She can't even ride a horse.
Then someone will have to teach her.
Someone like you, james.
Me? But--what-- But what? What will the other princes say? They'll be too busy laughing to say anything.
They'll say what a great brother you are, james.
And you'll get in some extra practice.
But she doesn't even have riding clothes.
She will, by morning.
Thanks, baileywick.
It's settled, then.
Sir gilliam? Huh? Oh.
It's you again.
I'm ready to practice.
Can I have a horse, please? Well, there's only one horse left, And nobody wants him.
I do.
You do? Of course you do.
( horse whinnies ) Wow.
What a beautiful horse.
Oh, not him! Minimus.
He's all yours.
Hi there, minimus.
Hmm I'm sofia.
( shyly ) hello.
Will you be my horse in the flying derby? Oh, you don't want to ride me, princess, If--if--only you spoke horse, I could tell you.
I can speak horse.
Oh! Wow, oh, what? How? Because of my amulet.
The amulet of avalor.
It gives me the power to talk to animals.
Well, then, let me give you a piece of advice.
If you want to win, you'll pick another horse.
You see, I have short legs, Small wings, I don't fly fast, I worry about everything.
Oh ( laughing ) I think you're perfect, Just the way you are.
Really? ( horns sound ) Sir gilliam: All right, everyone! The try-out race is at the end of the week, Right here on our derby course.
Only the first two riders To cross the finish line make the team.
So, let's practice hard, fly fast, And always be royal.
Uhh! Uhh! ( panting ) ( sofia falls ) Let me help you.
( sighs ) Thanks.
( grunts ) Thanks, james.
Uh, now what do I do? ( girl laughing ) When you're done, james, Can you help my sister get on her pony? ( laughter ) Let's go over here, where no one can see us.
Okay.
All you have to do is flick the reins to take off, Pull them the way you want to go.
That's it? Yep.
It's easy.
Okay.
Here we go, minimus.
Hee-yaw! Okay, whoa, here we go! Sofia: Aah! Aah! Oh! Hmm! Aah! Oh! Uh! Aah! Oh! ( grunting ) ( sighs ) What am I doing wrong? I don't know.
We can stop if you want.
I am not giving up.
I don't care how many times I fall.
I am going to try out for the team.
You've got to stay on your horse first.
I knew you were a bad racer, james, But you're a worse teacher.
I guess flying derby isn't a princess thing after all.
You can make fun of me all you want, hugo, But not my sister.
( laughing ) If you're not going to give up, I won't either.
Come on.
Climb aboard, sofia.
Okay Now keep your hands on my hands.
Ready? Uh-huh.
Hee-yaw! James: Look out! Coming through! All right, so far so good.
Now this is how you steer.
Whoa! This is amazing! Amber, is that your sister up there? Oh.
I can't believe she's really doing it.
I can't believe I'm really doing it! You sure are.
I can fly! Now let's teach you how to race.
Hee-yaw! Giddy up, minimus! Minimus: Whoa, here we go! There are the trees! Catch james! Whoo-hoo! Hee-yaw! All right, it's time you tried the last hurdle.
It's the toughest part of the course.
Right before the finish line.
We go under the gate, and through the steeple.
Come on! ( bell rings ) Minimus: Uh, umunh! We're not going to make it, sofia! If james can do it, so can we! Minimus: Not necessarily! Umunh! Oh! Aah! Looking good, james! That's your fastest run ever! Ahh, sofia.
You'll get it next time.
I hope so.
( knocking ) ( door opens ) Sofia? Are you okay? I saw you almost crashed.
I guess I need more practice.
But you only have one day left before the race.
( sighs ) I know.
Sofia.
Maybe the princes are just Better at this.
I think you should stop.
I don't want you to get hurt.
( sighs ) So, uh, how'd it go? Lousy.
I can't even make it to the finish line, And I only have one more day until the race.
Amber said I should quit.
I don't know what to do.
My mother had a saying.
The early bird gets the worm.
What does sofia need a worm for? She doesn't need mia.
Hey, what robin's trying to say is, Get a early start tomorrow.
You've got one more day, sofia.
Make it count! Good idea.
Thanks guys.
( yawning ) Sofia: Good morning, sir gilliam! I'm taking off into something new there's so much I got to do and I'm the only one who thinks I'll make it through but the only way to win is to try and try again they want to count me out but I'll make them count me in I can be anything I can see anything you can teach anything I can reach anything I can do anything so can you anything that you try look and see you can be anything anything Okay, minimus, we can do it this time.
That's what you said the last four times.
Well, here we go! Up, minimus! Up, up, up! Minimus: Uh, umunh! We're not going to make it, sofia! ( groaning ) It's all my fault.
You should switch to a bigger horse.
You're big enough.
A faster horse, then.
Minimus, you're plenty fast.
You can talk to your horse All you want.
But it's not going to get you through that steeple.
And if you can't finish the race, Why even bother starting it? You should go back where you belong.
With the other princesses.
Hi, sofia! Mom.
What are you doing out here? Waiting for you.
Wow, you've been practicing all this time? Uh-huh.
Well, I have some good news.
Your father and I are coming to The try-out race tomorrow.
Oh! You don't have to do that.
Oh, we wouldn't miss it for the world.
It's just that, I'm thinking about not going.
I still can't make it through the last steeple.
Maybe hugo and amber are right.
And only princes should race.
And maybe, a princess can do anything A prince does, if she keeps trying, And never gives up.
Do you think I can make the team? I know you can, sofia.
But what's important is what you think.
Amber, everyone's here! It's a good thing I wore my derby tiara.
Oh! He's here! Prince hugo! Well, today's the big day.
Are you ready, sofia? Queen miranda: Good luck, sofia! Thanks, mom! James, why are there so many people here? They want to know if a princess can make the team.
So let's show them.
Okay.
( horns sound ) ( crowd cheering ) You ready, minimus? Ready for what? Turning around And going back to the stable? You bet.
Great idea.
Minimus.
We are going to do great.
I know it.
Welcome, to the flying derby try-out race.
As everyone knows, the first two riders To cross the finish line earn their place On royal preps flying derby team! So without further ado, Horses on your wings, Get set, Go! Announcer: And they're off! Sofia: Fly minimus! Hee-yaw! Announcer: Prince hugo takes the early lead, With prince james just behind him.
Amber: Go, hugo, go! Sofia: Catch him, minimus! Hee-yaw! Announcer: Here comes princess sofia! She's making her way through the pack.
It looks like we need to take the princess out of the race.
Sofia: Look out! Ohh, aah! Aah! Prince hugo did that on purpose! See ya, princess! That's not right.
Boo hugo! Are you all right? Yeah.
What are you doing? Get back on your horse.
What's the point, james? I blew it.
But go! You can still win.
So could you.
I'm not crossing the finish line without you.
Uh, umunh.
Come on, sofia, let's go.
The princess is back in the race! Go, sofia! Whoo, come on, minimus! Hee-yaw! Announcer: Sofia and james have caught the pack.

We won.
We actually won.
Wait, does that mean they'll expect us to win the next race? And the one after that? Oh, I think I need to lie down! ( laughs ) oh, minimus.
Oh, thank you, james! I couldn't have done it without you.
Same here.
I never would have made the team If I didn't spend all that time practicing with you.
Sir gilliam: Congratulations.
I hereby present you both With the official team jerseys.
( crowd cheers ) Thank you, sir gilliam.
Really.
( giggling ) ( laughing ) What a race.
Well done, you two.
We did it, dad! ( sighs ) I made the team, mom.
Oh, I knew you could.
Hmm.
Huh.
Oh! ( laughs ) Princess amber.
Hmm! What? You were great, sofia.
I was wrong.
Flying derby is a princess thing.
Anything can be if we try hard enough.
That's what they gave you for winning? Oh, no.
You need a real prize.
Hmm I know.
But that's your derby tiara.
I want you to have it.
Because, I'm your biggest fan.
You know, I won, too.
I know.
