Erika: Whoaaaa!!!

Anneliese: We could be sisters.

Erika&Anneliese: What's your name?

Erika:You first.

Anneliese: Please, call me Anneliese.

Erika: Anneliese? You have the same name as the princess.

Anneliese: Well...

Erika: Oh. I'm Erika, Your Highness. Aren't you supposed to be inside the castle?

Anneliese: I'm savoring a first and last taste of freedom before getting married next week... to a total stranger.

Erika: At least you're not an indentured servant

Erika: At least you're not an indentured servant.

Anneliese: Indentured servant??

( Erika starts to sing)
Erika: If I'd like to have my breakfast hot, Madame Carp will make me pay. And I have to fetch the eggs myself and the barn's a mile away.

It's cold and wet and still I get an omelette on my plate, but in my head I'm back in bed snuggled up and sleeping late

Anneliese: Really?

Erika: Really, but it's alright. I mean, I'm used to it. And you?

Anneliese: Well...

Erika: Well?

( Anneliese starts to sing)

Anneliese: If I want some eggs I ring the bell and the maid comes running in. And she serves them on a silver tray and she brings a cookie tin.

And while I eat, she rubs my feet and strolling minstrels play. But I'd rather be in my library reading science books all day.

Erika: I'm just like you

Anneliese: You are?

Erika: You're just like me

Erika: You're just like me. There's somewhere else we'd rather be. Somewhere that's ours, somewhere that dreams come true. Yes, I am a girl like you.
