Transcript
00:00I was standing on the balcony in my room, screaming my lungs out, while my cousin Catherine
00:08stood next to me.
00:09Hello?
00:10Hello?
00:11Save me from this wretched queen and her snooty bodyguards!
00:14I will give 10,000 gold coins to anyone who saves me!
00:18No one can hear you, Merida, and even if they did, they won't go against the queen's orders.
00:23When I'm queen, I will demolish this stupid castle and build a big house with glass windows
00:28and everyone can visit me, and I'll have lots of friends and pets and pastries!
00:32No, not pastries, they give me a sugar rush.
00:34Okay, so only friends and pets then?
00:37You wish.
00:38Just then, I heard the queen screaming my name and I ran in the other direction to save
00:43my soul.
00:44Hi, I'm Merida, a real-life princess from someplace in the world.
00:48Please like and subscribe.
00:49My mom, the queen, was really strict, but she wasn't always like this.
00:53She used to be a fun-loving mom who loved spending time with me.
00:57But when I turned 5, dad went out hunting.
00:59He fell from his horse, hurt his back, and was permanently bedridden.
01:02Mom had to take up all his responsibilities, and since then, she turned into the Wicked
01:07Witch of the West.
01:08To make matters worse, when I was 7, I was with my mom inaugurating a children's park
01:13when this homeless guy picked me up and started running.
01:16The guards caught him and saved me almost immediately, but mom became extra paranoid
01:21and never allowed me to leave the palace.
01:23I wasn't allowed to go to school or play outside like normal kids.
01:27Growing up, the only friends I had were the palace workers or my royal tutors, who were
01:31really boring.
01:32My life sucked, and I hatched a new plan every week to escape the palace.
01:36Like this one time when I was 13, I tied a bunch of bedsheets and hung it down from my
01:41window.
01:42I was about to climb down when I saw how high it was and I chickened out.
01:45And another time, I climbed into the back of a van carrying pigs for the royal poultry
01:50farm.
01:52You, pig guy, drive or I'll behead everyone.
01:54Not the pigs, obviously, they're cute.
01:56But I will behead you, I promise.
01:59The guy shot me a look and started driving, but 30 seconds later, the royal guards caught
02:03on to me.
02:04Mom found out and went ballistic.
02:06What were you thinking, Merida?
02:08That driver could have harmed you and taken you away forever.
02:11And that would have been a dream come true.
02:13Even staying with pigs is better than staying caged in a castle for one more day.
02:18I'm bored, annoyed, and I hate it here.
02:20It's for your own safety.
02:22Now quit complaining and go to your room.
02:24But I wasn't going to give up so easily.
02:26So the next day, while Mom was away on palace duties, I tried sneaking out the kitchen back
02:31door, but my foot got caught on something.
02:33I tripped and crashed into a servant carrying a bunch of plates and she landed on her butt.
02:38Are you okay?
02:39I looked up to see a girl my age staring in my face.
02:42She helped me get up and just then, Mom came running.
02:45What have you done?
02:46That was really expensive china.
02:48Wow, Mom.
02:49You could have asked me if I was fine.
02:51But no, expensive china is more important.
02:54You know what I mean.
02:55And I see you've met Catherine.
02:57And that's how Catherine came into my life.
02:59Her dad was my dad's younger brother.
03:01And I'd met her when we were kids, but then she moved to France.
03:04And now Mom had invited her back to the palace.
03:07Catherine and I quickly became friends and spoke about everything under the sun.
03:11I told her about my boring life and how I was stuck in the castle.
03:14While Catherine told me all about her travels, which sometimes made me jealous.
03:19You know, Paris is really pretty.
03:21I love sitting on top of the Eiffel Tower and staring at the city.
03:25It's magical.
03:26And did you know that street churros don't taste the same as the ones we eat here?
03:30Of course you wouldn't, because I can't leave the castle.
03:33I know.
03:34You don't have to rub it in my face.
03:35Sorry, I didn't mean to.
03:37But why don't you just sneak out?
03:39You think I haven't tried?
03:40My mom has the nose of a dog.
03:42My mom has the nose of a dog.
03:44She can smell me out.
03:45But you didn't really have help before.
03:47Really?
03:48You'll help me?
03:49Of course.
03:50What are sisters for?
03:51Catherine kept her promise.
03:53And the next day when Mom left for her daily royal duties,
03:56she led me through the back gate of the castle.
03:58The guards were scattered everywhere.
04:00So Catherine and I had to be careful.
04:02We were hiding behind a huge wall, trying not to get spotted.
04:05When a huge trash truck stopped right in front of us,
04:08and Catherine signaled for me to climb in.
04:10This is your brilliant idea to sneak me out?
04:12A trash truck?
04:14I'm sorry if it's not up to your expectations,
04:16but it's literally the only way out that will escape the guards' attention.
04:20Whatever.
04:21Fine.
04:22After the longest, bumpiest, and smelliest ride of my life,
04:26the truck finally stopped.
04:28Without warning, Cathy yanked me out like a bag of potatoes,
04:31and we fell into some bushes nearby.
04:33Welcome to the real life, princess.
04:35Let's go.
04:36I look like a homeless person dipped in a pile of poop.
04:39I'm not going anywhere looking like this.
04:41But it's the perfect disguise.
04:43Who would think a princess is walking around smelling like a pig?
04:46Hey, watch it.
04:47Don't forget that when I'm queen, I'll...
04:49Yeah, yeah, you'll behead half the population.
04:51Can we go now?
04:52We only have a few hours before the queen comes back.
04:55It took years before I was finally out of that miserable palace.
04:58So I didn't want to waste any time.
05:00Catherine took me to a photo booth to capture my first day out,
05:03and we ended up clicking a dozen pictures.
05:05I was still in the photo booth when she went outside to get something to eat.
05:08And this really cute boy walked in.
05:10I tried to run away before the boy saw my face,
05:13but I tripped over my own foot and went flying into his arms.
05:16Whoa.
05:17Is it fate or did the most beautiful girl in the world fall into my arms?
05:21He smiled and my heart raced.
05:23But just as he came closer, I started sneezing like crazy.
05:27Are you okay?
05:28I'm...
05:29Achoo!
05:30So, so...
05:31Achoo!
05:32Sorry.
05:33I must be...
05:34Achoo!
05:35Allergic to something.
05:36Achoo!
05:37Achoo!
05:38Achoo!
05:39Achoo!
05:40Just then, the curtain flew open and Cathy angrily pulled me out.
05:43The hot dogs in her hand went flying,
05:45and one of them hit the pretty boy in the eye.
05:48Ow!
05:49Wait, will I ever see you again?
05:50No!
05:51Now get out of our way!
05:52As Cathy dragged me away,
05:54I waved goodbye to the boy, feeling like I'd just lost the love of my life.
05:59We went through a secret tunnel through a church
06:01that opened at the backside of the castle.
06:03And I was stunned to know that something like this even existed.
06:06We quickly slipped inside the castle before someone noticed.
06:09Wow!
06:10That was so cool!
06:11How did you know about this?
06:12My dad might have mentioned it.
06:14Then why did you drag me through the trash truck?
06:16Seriously?
06:17That's your concern?
06:18If that boy hurt you, the queen would have killed me for sneaking you out.
06:22It was a mistake, and I'm not doing it again.
06:24But now, I didn't need Catherine's help.
06:26I already knew about the secret tunnel.
06:28So the next day, I sneaked out through the passage and went straight into town.
06:32I went back to that photo booth
06:34where I saw the same boy sitting outside kicking the air.
06:37You.
06:38You came.
06:39I was hoping I'd run into you again.
06:40I couldn't stop thinking about you.
06:42Neither could I.
06:43I'm Romeo.
06:44I'm Mer...
06:45Juliet.
06:46Right.
06:47Uh, wanna get out of here, Mer Juliet?
06:49It was lame, but I wasn't gonna tell him my name yet.
06:52I need to trust him completely.
06:54And for all I know, his name wasn't Romeo either.
06:57Over the next few days,
06:58I sneaked out every day just to meet Romeo.
07:01And I was smitten.
07:02He was cute, fun, really kind,
07:04and even volunteered at a local children's hospital at times.
07:07One day, he took me to the hospital with him,
07:10and I could see how everyone's eyes just lit up seeing Romeo.
07:14Hi, Romeo.
07:15Is this your new girlfriend?
07:17She's very pretty.
07:19Are you guys gonna get married?
07:21Well, her name is Juliet,
07:23so the chances are high.
07:25I blushed as Romeo winked at me,
07:27and my insides exploded with excitement.
07:30Later that evening,
07:31he asked me out,
07:32and we shared our first kiss,
07:34which was magical.
07:35I knew I was falling for him.
07:37So a few days later,
07:38while I walked back home,
07:39I decided to tell Mom everything about Romeo.
07:42But just as I crossed the secret passage,
07:44I saw a bunch of guards waiting for me on the other side.
07:47The head bodyguard, Markle,
07:49immediately grabbed me
07:50and carried me as I kicked and screamed.
07:52Hey!
07:53Put me down right this minute
07:54or I'll have your head served to me on a platter!
07:56Sorry, Princess,
07:57but the queen will skin me alive
07:58if I don't deliver you to her.
08:00I prefer to be beheaded at this point.
08:02Oh, you stupid bug-eyed giant moon calf!
08:05I'll make your life miserable when I'm queen!
08:07Can't wait.
08:08Markle finally sat me down,
08:10and a second later,
08:11Mom walked in looking pissed.
08:13She threw a bunch of photographs on the table
08:15along with a news article.
08:17I stared in shock
08:18with all my pictures all over the tabloid
08:20with the most hideous headline.
08:22The princess who smells like rotten eggs
08:25and kissing a commoner
08:26is a disgrace
08:27and not fit to rule!
08:29Hey, that's not fair!
08:30I do not smell like rotten eggs!
08:32You think this is a joke, Merida?
08:34I've spent a lifetime
08:35building my reputation,
08:36and I will not let you destroy it in seconds.
08:39And how dare you leave without my permission?
08:41Mom, come on.
08:43It was only one outing.
08:44Okay, two.
08:45Okay, sorry, twenty.
08:46But look at the bright side.
08:47Nothing happened to me.
08:49No one kidnapped me,
08:50which means it's safe to travel outside.
08:52But Mom didn't care
08:54and left angrily.
08:55The next few days were miserable.
08:57The security around me
08:58was tighter than ever.
08:59And this time,
09:00no one was allowed to enter my room.
09:02Not even Catherine.
09:03Things got worse
09:05when a week before my 18th birthday,
09:07Mom announced my engagement
09:08to the prince of some country.
09:10Can't say the name, sorry.
09:12And along with that,
09:13the date of my coronation.
09:14I felt lost and furious.
09:16Late one night,
09:17I was sulking in my room
09:18when someone knocked on my door.
09:20I opened it
09:21and saw Romeo standing outside.
09:23I pulled him in
09:24immediately before someone saw him.
09:26What are you doing here?
09:27If my mom sees you,
09:28you're dead meat.
09:29I will leave, Merida.
09:30But before that,
09:31you need to know something.
09:33Catherine isn't who you think she is.
09:35What do you mean?
09:36Before Romeo could say more,
09:37the door burst open
09:38and Mom came in
09:39with Catherine and some guards
09:41who immediately grabbed Romeo.
09:43Mom, no!
09:44Let him go!
09:45I can't believe
09:46you would stoop so low, Merida.
09:48Wasn't it enough
09:49that you embarrassed me
09:50in the newspapers
09:51that now you were planning
09:52on escaping with this peasant?
09:54Mom, Romeo is a very nice guy
09:57and I wasn't going anywhere with him.
09:59You can ask Catherine.
10:00She's met him before.
10:01Tell them.
10:02I have no idea
10:03what you're talking about, Merida.
10:05I've never seen this guy
10:06before in my life.
10:07Why are you lying?
10:08I'm not.
10:09I was in my room
10:10when I heard noises
10:11coming from your chamber.
10:13I heard him telling you
10:14that he's here to take you away.
10:16And as a loyal servant
10:17of the royal court,
10:18it was my duty
10:19to inform the Queen.
10:20You backstabbing witch!
10:21I will...
10:22Enough!
10:23I'm so disappointed in you, Merida.
10:25Now,
10:26until the members
10:27of the royal court
10:28decide what to do with you,
10:29you will not leave your room.
10:31For the next couple of days,
10:32I was locked in my room
10:34with two guards
10:35at the door the whole time.
10:36I had no idea
10:37what happened to Romeo,
10:38but I prayed he was okay.
10:40About a week later,
10:41I was summoned
10:42by the royal court members
10:43who had apparently
10:44made a decision about me.
10:45After a week of deliberation,
10:47the royal court
10:48has concluded
10:49that Princess Merida
10:50has gone against Act 54
10:52of the royal constitution
10:53that states
10:54the Queen in line
10:55shall not interact
10:56with commoners
10:57or have personal relations
10:58with them
10:59before her coronation.
11:01Seriously?
11:02There's a constitution
11:03like that?
11:04Shh!
11:05The Princess
11:06has not taken her duty seriously.
11:07Therefore,
11:08she will be replaced
11:09by the next person
11:10in line to the throne.
11:12Wait,
11:13Catherine?
11:14Seriously?
11:15Unbelievable!
11:16Merida,
11:17be respectful
11:18to the members
11:19of the court.
11:20No!
11:21If all of you think
11:22that I'm the problem
11:23and Catherine
11:24is the next best thing,
11:25then I have no respect.
11:26And what's wrong
11:27with interacting
11:28with the very people
11:29no, sorry,
11:30commoners
11:31we're supposed to rule?
11:32I was about to storm off
11:33when suddenly
11:34Romeo ran in
11:35through the doors
11:36with several guards
11:37following behind him.
11:38Catherine's eyes
11:39widened in shock
11:40as he marched
11:41straight to Mom.
11:42How did you get out?
11:43I've lived on the street.
11:44We pick up a trick or two
11:45when it comes to escaping.
11:46But first,
11:47everyone needs
11:48to know the truth.
11:49My name is Romeo Buffay.
11:50I met the princess
11:51through Lady Catherine
11:52who paid me
11:53to lure her out of the palace,
11:54expose her face
11:55to the media
11:56and ruin her name.
11:57You did what?
11:58Romeo went on
11:59to tell everyone
12:00how his little sister
12:01was a patient
12:02at the children's hospital
12:03where he volunteered.
12:04She was sick
12:05and needed surgery.
12:06I needed money
12:07for the surgery
12:08so when Lady Catherine
12:09approached me
12:10to work for her,
12:11I couldn't say no.
12:12He's lying.
12:13He has no proof.
12:14You can see my phone.
12:15I have the messages.
12:16I did a terrible thing
12:17trying to ruin
12:18the princess's reputation
12:19and I couldn't
12:20live with myself
12:21if I didn't confess
12:22the truth.
12:23Cathy, why?
12:24Suddenly,
12:25Catherine turned to me
12:26with angry,
12:27bloodshot eyes.
12:28Because this crown
12:29belongs to me.
12:30It should have
12:31gone to my dad
12:32after his brother
12:33fell sick.
12:34But you, Queen,
12:35you snatched it away.
12:36My father lived
12:37in misery all his life
12:38when he was
12:39the rightful king.
12:40So that's why
12:41you came back?
12:42For the crown?
12:43Of course.
12:44You thought I came here
12:45to be friends
12:46with your sorry butt?
12:47Please.
12:48I hired this butthead
12:49so I could somehow
12:50ruin your reputation
12:51in front of the court
12:52and your mom
12:53would banish you
12:54from the throne
12:55on her own.
12:56I would have succeeded
12:57if this jerk
12:58wouldn't have barged in.
12:59I'm gonna kill you
13:00when I'm the queen.
13:01Which will be never.
13:02I've heard enough.
13:03Get this girl out of here.
13:04And if I ever
13:05see your face
13:06near the palace again,
13:07Catherine,
13:08you'll never
13:09see the light of day again.
13:10The room was quiet
13:11as Cathy was dragged
13:12out of the hall
13:13kicking and screaming
13:14and that was
13:15the last time I saw her.
13:16The queen then got up,
13:17grabbed the scroll
13:18from the royal speaker
13:19and tore it to pieces.
13:20What are you doing,
13:21your majesty?
13:22That's the only copy
13:23of the constitution
13:24there is.
13:25I'm the queen
13:26and I make
13:27or break the constitution.
13:28I'm sorry, Merida.
13:29I thought I was
13:30doing the right thing
13:31by keeping you safe
13:32but sometimes
13:33parents can be wrong.
13:34I wasn't the best
13:35daughter either, mom.
13:36I made life tough
13:37for you
13:38when all you wanted
13:39was to keep me safe.
13:40I promise
13:41I'll be better.
13:42Mom and I hugged it out
13:44and finally made up.
13:45Overcome with emotion,
13:46I ran to Romeo
13:47and hugged him too.
13:48I'm still mad at you
13:49for deceiving me
13:50but I get why
13:51you did what you did.
13:52Also,
13:53I missed you a lot.
13:54Think we could
13:55start again?
13:56Nothing would
13:57make me happier.
13:58Romeo and I
13:59started dating officially.
14:00His sister's surgery
14:01was a success
14:02and was fully paid
14:03for by the palace.
14:04Two years later,
