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