Mia & Nicholas - At The Beginning [The Princess Diaries]

I don't want to be nice to this guy, you know? I mean, he is rude, he's arrogant, self-centered, he's... Have you met him? No. I dream of love, not... Your Highness? I've met Lord Nicholas. Actually, yeah, at the ball. Didn't know who he was, so, you know, we... We danced, and... I flirted. I wanted to tell you that I was very impressed by what you did at the parade. I loathe you. I loathe you first. I have an idea. Why don't you go underwater, and I'll count to a million. You're falling in love with her. No. What do you think will happen? That you will leave Andrew and marry you? I put in the effort to make you a king, not to have you marry a queen. When are you going to start acting responsibly? Hiding in a closet with a man who is not your betrothed? Coming out of a fountain dripping wet with the same man who is not your betrothed? Do you think I planned for this kind of stuff to happen? I lost it. Sometimes you just lose it. I refuse to be king. Ladies and gentlemen, it is Princess Mia who should have the crown. She's bright, and she is caring. But more importantly, she has a vision. One that will take Genovia forward, and if the parliament were astute, they would name her queen. Just think how lovely she'll look on our postage stamp. I'm in love with the queen-to-be, and I'm inquiring if she loves me too.
