A few moments ago I realized the only reason I was getting married was because of a law and that didn't seem like a good enough reason. So, I won't be getting married today. Sit, sit. There may be a dinner. My grandmother has ruled without a man at her side for quite some time and I think she rocks at it. So as the granddaughter of Queen Clarice and King Rupert... King Rupert, making the rest of the peace. I ask the members of Parliament to think about your daughters, your nieces, sisters, and granddaughters, and ask yourselves, would you force them to do what you're trying to make me do? I believe I will be a great queen. I understand, Genovia, to be a land that combines the beauty of the past with all the best hope of the future. Not now. Shh. I feel in my heart and soul that I can rule Genovia. I love Genovia. Do you think that I would be up here in a wedding dress if I didn't? I stand here ready to take my place as your queen without a husband. Thank you Every time every time this charming young lady opens her mouth she demonstrates a contempt for the customs of Genovia. The law clearly states an unmarried woman cannot be queen. Fortunately, there is another heir. No, there is not. I decline. I refuse to be king. Ladies and gentlemen, it is Princess Mia who should have the crown. She is 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. Listen to her. She'll lead us into the 21st century. And besides, just think how lovely she'll look on our postage stamp. Lovely on a postage stamp? You would look lovely on a postage stamp? Don't you walk away from me, sir. You have a duty, sir, to Genovia. He is very distressed. Your duty, sir, to the country, to me, sir. To Genovia! To your father! Nicholas! The door. Shut the doors. Quickly.
