  Princess Crystal : Or N is north and S is south.

  Eugene : Uh, could be.

• Princess Crystal : [Next to the invisible wall of Santa's City in the North Pole, which is ONLY visible to "True Believers"]  Close your eyes,

  Princess Crystal : You just use big words to hide small thoughts.

• [Princesses Crystal and Lucinda is still trapped in a raised birdcage in the cave]

  [Crsytal feels proud of him] 

  Eugene : [Offscreen]  But as your attorney,

  [cut to him onscreen as he continues]

  Princess Crystal : How terribly rude.

  Eugene : That's it. I'm comin' along to protect you.

  [Crystal gets into the raft and walks toward Eugene] 

  Princess Crystal : No, Eugene. This time I must protect myself. It's my quest. I'll be all right. I have the raft.

  [Crystal gives the compass from Eugene] 

  Princess Crystal : Thank you, Eugene.

  Princess Crystal : Why are you here?

  Princess Lucinda : Um, to take you home.

  Princess Crystal : But, I am on a quest.

  Princess Lucinda : [laughs]  You'll never reach the North Pole. It's- It's- It's too far. You'll find Santa when Pigs fly.

  Princess Crystal : Stop it, Lucy!

  Princess Lucinda : Look at you. A penguin who can't swim in seal-infested waters.

  Princess Crystal : [Gasps as the cresture growl in the background]  Wh- What was that?

  [the crowd is chattering about Eugene's enterence; Agonysia hits the mallet three times to remain silent] 

• Eugene : [Talking about sleigh bell]  Did it not dislodge from Santa's sleigh, plummet from the sky and wallop your sister on the royal noggin?

  [the crowd, including Crystal, Lucinda's maids and Queen Penelope & King Calvin, gasps and murmurs] 

  Princess Lucinda : I gave it to Crystal as a hatch-day present.

  Princess Crystal : Oh, no!

  Eugene : Remember, you're under oath!

• Bubkus Bill : Welcome aboard the Blubber Belly, me hearties. First mate Bubkus Bill at your service. He be Timebomb Tom.

  [Tom gives a soft laugh] 

  Princess Crystal : I am Crystal. My sister Lucinda. And Pup.

  [Pup barks] 

  Princess Crystal : Thank you for rescuing us.

  Timebomb Tom : Uh, no, don't thank us.

  Timebomb Tom : 'Twas the nefarious Capn' Cragg who gave the order.

  Princess Crystal : Oh! How nice of him.

• Capn' Cragg : [Offscreen]  Nice?

  [Camera pans to reveal Capn' Cragg, in which the thunder effect reveals his skeleton. Crystal, Lucy and Pup is whimpering] 

  Capn' Cragg : Nice? Who dare call the nefarious Capn' Cragg nice?

  Princess Crystal : Uh, I meant no offense.

  Princess Crystal : [to Eugene]  Do you know what you're doing?

  Eugene : [Whispering to Crystal]  No idea.

  [Eugene clears the throat and soft chuckles while he looking for "The Book of Santa Claus"] 

  Eugene : Your Honors, I shall prove to the court that the first two charges are completely circumstantial, and the thrid utterly preposterous. Princess Crystal could not lied about Santa Claus because Santa Claus is... nonfiction!

• Princess Lucinda : Now see here. I am a royal penguin princess, and I command you to release is this instant.

• [Crystal still has a compass that Eugene gave to her, about 50 weeks ago] 

  Princess Lucinda : [offscreen]  Where'd you get that tacky trinket?

  Princess Crystal : It's a not a trinket. It's a compass that Eugene gave me.

  Princess Lucinda : What do you see in that fool anyway?

  Princess Crystal : He's more than a fool. He's a brilliant inventor.

  Princess Lucinda : Yeah. The penguin who would fly.

  Princess Crystal : I don't care if his gadgets don't work.

  Princess Lucinda : Mmm, to each her own.

• Princess Crystal : So, who do you like?

  Princess Lucinda : Me?

  [Lucy laughs] 

  Princess Lucinda : i have no time for such nonsense. Although Phillip's sort of easy on the eyes.

  Princess Crystal : [Croaches to Lucy]  The royal page with the kind face?

  Princess Lucinda : Amd very strong wings.

  [Crystal giggles first then she starts laughing. She joins Lucinda for laughter as the camera pulls away from them as the Blubber Belly sails away] 

• Princess Crystal : [as Crystal does the Triple Lutz away from the Polar Bear; Voiceover]  One day, I'll get it right.

  Princess Lucinda : They're come to stop us.

  Derridommis : Ooh, on the contrary. We've come to congratulate you.

  Princess Lucinda : I'm so sure.

  Agonysia : We misjudged you both.

  Princess Lucinda : You mean you underestimated us.

  Princess Crystal : Santa does exist, and we have proof.

  Agonysia : We couldn't be happier.

  Derridommis : Princess Crystal, you not only faced your worst fears, but you and Princess Lucinda have gone where no penguin have gone before.

  Mortmottimes : And, in the process, it appears you've become best friends.

  Derridommis : This delights us.

  Princess Crystal : Oh. Perhaps I misjudged you too.

  Princess Lucinda : [to Crystal]  Don't fall for their pack of lies. This is a trick!

  Princess Lucinda : [to Lucy]  If this were a trick, why would we invite the entire colony to the Cave of Profundity to celebrate your triumphant return?

• Princess Lucinda : [offscreen; after Pup crosses off the week since he, Crystal and Lucy is on the Blubber Belly]  Tell me this.

  Princess Lucinda : How can one man deliever all those toys in one night?

  Santa Claus : Oh, don't worry. I saw them coming in the magic looking glass. Let's welcome them, shall we? Hm-ha-ha-ha.

  Capn' Cragg : [to Tom]  Do it, Tom!

  Princess Crystal : [Crowd gasps in the background; Running]  No-oooo!

  [Crystal leaps toward Tom and knocks him out] 

• [In the court, inside the palace] 

  Agonysia : Aiding and abetting the forbidden simulation of flight, trifling with human things, and corrupting penguin youth with human lies.

  Mortmottimes : Heresy!

  Agonysia : How does the defendment plead?

  [Lucy scoffers as she walks toward the wall, but the wall bumps Lucy] 

• Princess Crystal : The walls of Santa's City are only visible to true believers.

  Princess Lucinda : How am I supposed to believe in something I can't see?

  Princess Crystal : Some things must be seen with the heart.

  Princess Crystal : Lucy, you must believe, or we'll never get inside.

  Princess Lucinda : I-... I want to believe.

  [the arrow in Crystal's compass spins rapidly] 

  Princess Lucinda : [Offscreen]  Arrrgh!

  Princess Lucinda : Even your compass has no sense of direction.

  [Crystal shakes her compass] 

  Princess Lucinda : We're come all this way and risked our lives for nothing!

  Princess Crystal : But we're close. I feel it in my heart.

  Princess Lucinda : [offscreen; as Crystal shakes her compass again]  "In your heart."

  Princess Lucinda : Your heart got us into that mess!

• Eugene : [in a soaring bird outfit]  Brace yourself princess. This may shock you.

  Princess Crystal : [Uncovers her eyes]  You're not leaping off Mount Gigantic in that getup.

  Eugene : Not leap. Soar, like an eagle.

  Princess Crystal : But Eugene, we're swimmers, not flyers.

  Eugene : [Showing the evolution illustration]  It's my theory our ancestors were both. But, over the eons, Mother Nature made us flightless water-foul.

  Eugene : Tonight, I shall attempt to turn back the clock, of evolution itself!

• Princess Crystal : Eugene, this is madness.

  Eugene : But if it works, I can become the full-time inventor. Now stand back

• Narrator : [Telling about Crystal, who is dancing on ice on the frozen pond]  Princess Crystal grew up smart. She was awfully nice, she led woth her heart, and she loves dancing on ice. But, alas, poor Crystal was a bit of a klutz when trying to perfect a maneuver called the triple lutz.

  Princess Crystal : [Attempts to maneuver the triple lutz... but failed]  Whoooa! Ooow!

  Narrator : They called her "Princess Clumsy" to her constant consternation...

  [Abruptly finishing up the story as the maid crowd cheers to Crystal] 

  Narrator : but Crystal preferred to ice-dance than attend her hatchday celebration.

• Princess Crystal : We'll do it, if you'll take us to the North Pole.

  Princess Lucinda : What are you-? Don't bargain with these barbarians. These pirates are ruthless.

  Timebomb Tom : Uh, that is true. We are utterly without ruths.

• Princess Crystal : [sighs] 

  Eugene : You'd rather skip it, wouldn't you?

  Princess Crystal : [sighs]  I feel so stupid at parties.

  Eugene : Smile and wave a lot. You'll be fine.

  Princess Crystal : You'll be warming up the crowd?

  Eugene : Mm-hm. Who else?

  Princess Crystal : Break a wing, Eugene.

  Eugene : [Soft chuckles]  Yeah. If they don't break it for me first.

  Princess Crystal : [giggles]

• Princess Crystal : [Penelope puts her into bed later that evening]  Sorry for ruining the party.

  Queen Penelope : Oh, nonsense.

  Princess Crystal : Another reason for Lucinda to hate me.

  Queen Penelope : Hate you?

  Princess Crystal : For beating her out of the egg. By seven silly seconds. Cam't we just give her the crown?

  Queen Penelope : The crown isn't something one gives away, my love.

  Princess Crystal : But it means more to her.

  Queen Penelope : Ooh. You have a good head and a generous heart. You'll make a fine queen.

  Queen Penelope : [She kisses Crystal and leaves the room; Crystal sighs]
