Anakin: Let's get going. (Later) (somehow) (King Jonathan II facepalm) (in annoyance) Jonathan: Why do the gods torment me with such wreckless destructive blast from a son? Fredrick: Pop, He just... Anakin: Because we know that we've had an accident. Jonathan: Be still, King speaks. Both: Oops. (they chuckle nervously) Jonathan: I see to build an empire and your only thought is to amuse yourself by tearing it down. Both: Oh. Jonathan: I taught you nothing. Dimbo: You mustn't be so hard on yourself, King. You are an excellent teacher. (they nod) Edgar: Ain't your fault. Dimbo: Mine either. Anakin: Father, Fault is mine. I go to Fred's arms. (Anakin's dad nods) Jonathan: Uh-oh. Looks like a mess has been made. Fredrick: It was an accident. Jonathan: Not on purpose. Anakin: I know he'll be king some year when you're ghosts.

(Leaves) (and is off) Anakin: Daddy, You know it's my fault. You have to be so hard on him? Jonathan: Not too hard. Just a little bit hard. Anakin: All he cares about is your approval. I know he's about your expectations. He only needs the opportunity. Jonathan: So that's why. Anakin: Excuse me now. Jonathan: Off you go then. (He leaves) (and is gone)

Narrator: One hour later Anakin: (whistles) Well, That went well. (seems delighted) Fredrick: Just go away. Anakin: Could've been worse. Fredrick: The weak link in the chain. That’s what he called me. Anakin: Well, You are rather pathetic. Fredrick: Irresponsible, ignorant of the traditions. He practically accused me of bringing down the dynasty. Anakin: Yeah. I saw that. Down goes the statues. Fredrick: You can laugh about it. Anakin: Statues cracking and toppling over. The Nile drying up. (Fills up a bag with punch) Single handlely, You will manage to bring the greatest kingdom on earth to ruin. Fredrick: Tell me this, lad. Why is it that every time you start something, I’m the one who ends up in trouble (Anakin drops the bag) (onto the ground) (SPLASH) (into the sea) Edgar: Ah! (jumps back) Dimbo: Prince Fredrick, You're in trouble young man. (seems upset) Edgar: Fred, Get down here. You owe us an apology. (Fred obeys) Anakin: Had enough? (Fred gulps) (Fred grins and spills all the punch on them, SPLASH) (SPLISH) Dimbo and Edgar: Ah! (SPLOSH) Anakin: I figure it out. Know what your problem is, You cared too much. (seems impressed) Fredrick: And you don't care at all. Anakin: Oh, in that case, I suppose you care a lot more than I do… that we’re late for the banquet, for example. (He gasps) (in alarm) (They rush) (away) Anakin: Relax. They won't notice that we are coming in. Fredrick: Oh, right, sorry. (Crowd cheered) (and clapped) Queen Bellina: Ah, the young princes. Now, you were must named prince regent. You are now responsible for overseeing all the temples. I suggest you get over there… and thank your father. Fredrick: Sure. Queen Bellina: That's the stuff. Anakin: Still needs the opportunity. Queen Bellina: Guess so. Anakin: You majesty, I propose that the high priests offered tribute to our new Africa. (Anakin nods) Jonathan: Great idea. Dimbo, Edgar. (Dimbo and Edgar get his attention) Dimbo: Edgar, Get the squirrel. Edgar: Got it. Dimbo: By the power of Ra, we present for your delectation and delight... an exotic apparition stolen from a faraway land. Edgar: We offer you this delicate desert flower. Let us inspect this… desert flower.

(Helga growls) (angrily and snarls) Frederick: Let us inspect this desert flower. (BITE) (CRUNCH) Frederick: More like a desert colbra. Anakin: Not much of a snake charmer, are you? That’s why I give her to you. Frederick: No. You. Anakin: Oops. Sorry. Helga: I won't be given to anyone. Especially an arrogant, pampered palace brat! Anakin: Oh my. Frederick: Are you going to let her talk to you like that? Anakin: No. Not really. Frederick: Knew it. Anakin: You will show the proper respect for a prince of Africa. (Fredrick nods) Helga: But I am showing you all the respect you deserve- none! (Fredrick gasps) Anakin: No! Be still! (Fredrick stands still) Helga: Let go! Anakin: As you wish. Fredrick: My pleasure. (Helga falls back) (onto the ground) (SPLASH) (SPLOSH) (Crowd laugh) (with joy) Anakin: That'll show her. Fredrick: Good job, pal. (Crowd keep laughing) Frederick: You there! Have her dried off... and sent to Prince Anakin's chambers. If it pleases you, Father, my first act as regent... is to appoint Anakin... as royal chief... architect. Crowds: Hooray! (Helga pouts) (with upsetness) Anakin: Hmm... (thinks for a moment) (Later he came to his chamber) (and sat down) (Sees the servant tied up) Anakin: What the... (gasps in shock) (Sees Helga leaving) (in a bad mood) (He followed her to the rodent village) (in pursuit) Helga: Please I need water. Rodent: Okay. (Anakin watches) (with confusion) (Helga left and Anakin sighs) (sadly) (Break) (something falls apart) Anakin: Oh. (gasps in surprise) Jessie: Oh, sorry. Anakin: That's all right. Jessie: Oh, please forgive me. I- I didn’t expect to see… you… here, of all places, at-at-at our door. Anakin: Really? Jessie: Yes, I really do mean it. Tom: That's him? Jessie: Yeah. The guy coming here to see us. Anakin: What? Jessie: We mean you. Anakin: What are you talking about? Jessie: You've just come over to see us. Tom: Please, Jessie. Jessie: You're our brother. Anakin: What? Brother? Jessie: Why, you, of course. Tom: Jessie, Please. You're confusing. He'll never know us when he's like this. So... Jessie: I'm not confusing. I'm serious. Anakin: Of what? Jessie: Of you returning to us since you're our brother. Anakin: You're crazy. I'm a prince. Jessie: We know you're a prince, but you're still our brother. Tom: Jessie. Jessie: But you're not at all. Anakin: What did you say? Jessie: Uh, nothing. You're still not a prince yet. Anakin: Cut it out. Jessie: Your mother was a squirrel like us. You are our brother. Anakin: Now you've gone too far, You shall be punish. Jessie: Looks like it's something I said. Tom: No your highness. Forgive us. She's ill. Please. Forget about this. Jessie: Yes, I'm not well. Anakin: Great. Jessie: Really. Mom send you away in a basket when you're a baby to save your life. Anakin: Save my life? From who? Jessie: From some bad guys. Anakin: What guys? Jessie: Ask the guy you called father. Anakin: (gasps) How dare you. (he is cross with Jessie) Jessie: Now, now. I didn't mean it. Honest. Tom: Defiantly not. Jessie: But you're the chosen one to be the deliveror. Anakin: Enough already. Jessie: I'm sorry. Anakin: You'll regret this night. Jessie: Oh dear. Looks like I've gone a bit too far. (He leaves) Jessie: Hush now, my baby, Be still, love Don't cry, Sleep as you're rocked, By the stream, Sleep and remember my last lullaby, So I'll be with you, When you dream (sings more) (Anakin gasps in shock) (and realizes that song) (He ran back to the palace) (to warn everyone) (Song begins) Anakin: All I ever wanted Was to see you smiling I know that I love you Oh baby why don't you see? All I ever wanted Was to see you smiling All I ever wanted Was to make you mine I know that I love you Oh baby why don't you see That all I ever wanted Was you and me (sings more) (Then ends as he sleeps) (and naps) (Then he wakes up in a dream when he's a painting) (suddenly) (He sees the king+ ) (all of a sudden) (King points to send out his guards to the rodent village) (to find the rodents) (Anakin watches) (in worry) (They captured every newborn rodent) (everywhere) (Melissa, Young Jessie and Tom flee) (in fright) (Avoiding the guards) (while escaping) (Anakin follows them) (to see what is happening) (They came to the river) (from nearby) (They send baby Anakin away in a basket) (down the river) (Anakin gasps) (in horror) (Then the guards were coming up behind him) (so he hid) (He tumbles) (backward) (He jumps when he wakes up) (from a bad dream) Anakin: What if it's true?

(feels heartbroken) (Jonathan came in) (to see what bit Anakin) Jonathan: The rodents have gotten rid of your family, my body. Anakin: Don't tell me you did this. Jonathan: I'm afraid that's my answer as a yes. Anakin: Why? Jonathan: Anakin, sometimes, for the greater good, sacrifices must be made. Anakin: Sacrifices? Jonathan: Yes, my boy. They were only slaves. (Anakin gasps in shock) Jonathan: Now don't feel shocked. I know you don't like being scared. (Anakin flees) Jonathan: What have I done to upset him?
