Enunciate. You must be understood from anywhere in the room, or it’s all for naught!

I suppose a princess just does what she’s told!
We can't just run away from who we are.
— Mark Andrews, Queen Elinor (voice), Emma Thompson, imdb.com
I became a sister to three new brothers. The princes. Hamish, Hubert, and Harris. Wee devils, more like. They get away with murder. I can never get away with anything.
Never conjure where you carve, dear.
I'd rather die than be like you!
Leave her be. Princess or not, learning to fight is essential.

A princess does not raise her voice!
— Mark Andrews, Queen Elinor (voice), Emma Thompson, imdb.com
A princess does not chortle, doesn’t stuff her gob, rises early, is compassionate, patient, cautious, clean, and above all, a princess strives for, well, perfection.

I’ll be shooting for my own hand.
I’m the princess. I’m the example. I’ve got duties, responsibilities, expectations. My whole life is planned out.
I’ve been selfish. I tore a great rift in this kingdom. There’s no one to blame but me. And I know now that I need to amend my mistake, and mend our bond.
I don't want my life to be over. I want my freedom!
A princess does not set her weapons on the table.
— Mark Andrews, Queen Elinor (voice), Emma Thompson, imdb.com
Every once in a while, there's a day when I don't have to be a princess. No lessons, no expectations. A day where anything can happen. A day I can change my fate.
You were never there for me! This whole marriage is what YOU want! Do you ever bother to ask what I want? No! You walk around telling me what to do, what not to do! Trying to make me be like you! Well, I'm not going to be like you!
Some say our destiny is tied to the land, as much a part of us as we are of it. Others say fate is woven together like a cloth, so that one's destiny intertwines with many others. It's the one thing we search for, or fight to change. Some never find it. But there are some who are led.
I don't want to get married! I want to stay single and let my hair flow in the wind as I ride through the glen, firing arrows into the sunset!
— Mark Andrews, King Fergus (voice), Billy Connolly, imdb.com
There are those who say fate is something beyond our command. That destiny is not our own, but I know better. Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it.
