:44:02
Do you think they're trying
to save money on the gown?
:44:04
Hi--er, uh, hello.
:44:07
I'm Mia. Um...
It stopped raining.
:44:14
Get your tiara ready.
[ Chuckles ]
:44:17
I'm really no good
at speech making.
:44:19
Normally I get so nervous
that I faint...
:44:24
or run away or sometimes
I even get sick.
:44:27
[ Murmuring ]
:44:30
But you really
didn't need to know that.
:44:33
But I'm not so afraid
anymore.
:44:37
My father helped me.
:44:41
Earlier this evening,
I had every intention...
:44:43
of giving up my claim
to the throne...
:44:48
and my mother helped me
by telling me that it was OK...
:44:55
and by supporting me like
she has for my entire life.
:45:00
But...
:45:03
then I wondered how I'd feel...
:45:05
after abdicating my role
as Princess of Genovia.
:45:08
Would I feel relieved
or would I feel sad?
:45:12
And then I realized...
:45:14
how many stupid times a day
I use the word "l."
:45:19
In fact,
probably all I ever do...
:45:22
is think about myself.
:45:23
And how lame is that...
:45:25
when there are 7 billion
other people on the planet--
:45:27
Ahem.
:45:28
Ooh. Sorry.
I'm going too fast.
:45:32
But then I thought...
:45:35
if I cared about
the other 7 billion out there...
:45:38
instead of just me...
:45:40
that's probably
a much better use of my time.
:45:43
See, if I were
Princess of Genovia...
:45:49
then my thoughts...
:45:51
and the thoughts of people
smarter than me...
:45:55
would be much better heard
and just maybe...
:45:59
those thoughts could be
turned into actions.
