Chapter 26
Anna's smile widened as the scene unfolded.
"What's with the smile?" Kristoff asked, and Anna looked at him.
"I recognize what's going on." she replied cryptically.
EXT. THE FJORD FOREST — DAY
Anna rides her horse through two feet of snow. She shivers.
ANNA
(shivering)
Elsa! Elsa! It's me, Anna...your
sister who didn't mean to make you
freeze the summer. I'm sorry. It's
all my f-f-f-f-f-f-fault.
DISSOLVE TO:
LATER: Anna and the horse struggle through a wooded area.
ANNA (CONT'D)
(hearing a wolf howl)
Of course, none of this would have
happened if she'd just told me her
secret...ha...she's a stinker.
"That cloak you're wearing is a summer cloak, Anna. No wonder you're freezing." Jack said, amusement in his voice as Anna huffed.
"Not all of us can be immune to the cold, Frost." she shot back.
"You're are immune to the cold?" Iduna asked, and Elsa nodded.
"All three of us can't get cold. That's why I'm able to wear thinner dresses during the winter in the palace." she replied.
A branch of a nearby tree snaps and startles the horse. Anna goes flying off, lands face down in the snow. She sits up. Spits out snow. Sees the horse running away.
ANNA (CONT'D)
Oh no. No. No. No. Come back. No.
No. No. No... Oooo-kay.
He doesn't come back. Anna grabs onto a branch of a leaning conifer, tries to pull herself to her feet, but the tree snaps upright and releases all its snow onto her. GROAN.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. MOUNTAIN — NIGHT
The Northern Lights shine as Anna struggles, out of breath, reaching the top of a hill.
ANNA
Snow, it had to be snow, she
couldn't have had tr-tr-tropical
magic that covered the f-f-fjords
in white sand and warm -
She sees smoke rising up in the distance.
ANNA (CONT'D)
Fire! WHOA!
Anna goes tumbling down the hill. She lands with a crash in an icy stream at the bottom.
ANNA (CONT'D)
(from inside the snowball)
Cold, cold, cold, cold, cold...
Kristoff's eyes widened, and he began to chuckle.
"I know what's going to happen, now." he said, and Anna grinned at him.
"Is this when you guys met?" Em asked excitedly, looking at her aunt and uncle as Jasper and Maxine leaned forward in anticipation.
EXT. A SMALL BUILDING AND STABLE — NIGHT
Anna shuffles up to the building, her dress frozen stiff. She shakes the snow off a sign and reads:
ANNA
Wandering Oaken's Trading Post.
Snow drops off a smaller sign. She reads it, happily.
ANNA (CONT'D)
Ooh! And Sauna...
INT. WANDERING OAKEN'S TRADING POST & SAUNA — NIGHT
Anna steps cautiously through the door-which hits her frozen butt and knocks her into the center of the shop. She looks around, sees only summer supplies.
OAKEN (O.S.)
Hoo hoo.
Anna turns to see a bright-faced fellow sitting low behind the counter, fingers tapping tip to tip.
"Oaken!" Em, Jasper, and Maxine said excitedly.
"He's a funny guy." Jack said, grinning.
"He scared the life out of me." Anna said, shaking her head.
OAKEN (CONT'D)
Big summer blow out. Half off
swimming suits, clogs, and a sun
balm of my own invention, yah?
ANNA
Oh, great. For now, how about
boots. Winter boots...and dresses?
OAKEN
(slight disappointment)
That would be in our winter
department.
The winter department contains one outfit, a pick ax, and a lonely pair of boots.
ANNA
Oh. Um, I was just wondering; has
another young woman, the Queen
perhaps, I don't know, passed
through here?
She brings the clothes and boots to the counter.
OAKEN
Only one crazy enough to be out in
this storm is you, dear?
The front door suddenly blows open and in walks a mass of a man covered in ice. Underneath is KRISTOFF.
"Daddy, it's you!" Maxine squealed, and Kristoff laughed, pulling her close.
"You look so scary." Pippa said, and Kristoff flushed.
"Believe me, that's what I thought. It was a bit shocking." Anna said, nudging Kristoff playfully.
"How did you get so covered in snow?" Jackson asked.
"I think Sven and I were getting ice from the mountain, and when Elsa's magic was released, it caused a wave of snow that hit me and knocked me on my back." Kristoff replied, and his family laughed.
OAKEN (CONT'D)
You and this fellow... Hoo hoo.
Big summer blow out.
Kristoff walks right up to Anna.
KRISTOFF
(in her face)
Carrots.
ANNA
Huh?
KRISTOFF
Behind you.
ANNA
Oh, right. Excuse me.
Anna moves out of Kristoff's way. He grabs a bunch of carrots, tosses them on the counter, then moves through the place, gathering other supplies.
OAKEN
(to Kristoff)
A real howler in July, yah? Where
ever could it be coming from?
KRISTOFF
The North Mountain.
"How did you know it came from the North Mountain?" Iduna asked.
"Well, besides the blizzard that hit us, seeing the summer weather around us suddenly change into winter, and snow appear everywhere was a good giveaway." Kristoff replied with a small laugh. Elsa blushed slightly, and Jack took her hand, squeezing it as he looked at her fondly.
ANNA
(to herself)
North Mountain.
Kristoff brings his supplies to the counter. Oaken counts on his fingertips.
OAKEN
That'll be forty.
KRISTOFF
Forty? No, ten.
OAKEN
(sweet as pie)
Oh dear, that's no good. See these
are from our winter stock, where
supply and demand have a big
problem.
KRISTOFF
You want to talk about a supply and
demand problem? I sell ice for a
living.
Kristoff motions out the window, where we see the blocks of ice on his sled, covered in snow.
ANNA
Ooh, that's a rough business to be
in right now. I mean, that is
really...
(he shoots her a look)
Ahem. That's unfortunate.
"Very eloquent, Anna." Elsa said with a small smile. Anna shot her sister an exhasperated but fond look.
OAKEN
Still forty. But I will throw in a
visit to Oaken's sauna. Hoo hoo!
Hi, family.
Kristoff and Anna turn to see a naked family waving through the window of the steaming sauna.
NAKED FAMILY
Hoo hoo!
KRISTOFF
...Ten's all I got. Help me out.
OAKEN
(isolating the carrots)
Ten will get you this and no more.
Kristoff seethes. Stalemate.
ANNA
Okay, just tell me one thing; what
was happening on the North
Mountain? Did it seem magical?
Kristoff pulls down his scarf and gives Anna a firm answer.
KRISTOFF
Yes! Now, back up while I deal with
this crook here.
Oaken stands up, revealing his seven-foot stature.
OAKEN
What did you call me?
EXT. WANDERING OAKEN'S TRADING POST AND SAUNA — NIGHT Oaken stomps out the door, carrying Kristoff with one arm.
KRISTOFF
Okay. Okay, I'm- Ow! Whoa!
Oaken throws Kristoff, who face-plants in the snow.
OAKEN
Bye bye.
Oaken slams the door. Kristoff sits up. His reindeer, Sven, canters over, snorts, and nudges him, expectantly.
KRISTOFF
No Sven, I didn't get your carrots.
"He cared more about his carrots than my safety and health." Kristoff said, pouting slightly.
"You know Sven would do anything for carrots, Uncle Kristoff." Em said with a grin. "I mean, didn't you say that he kept trying to eat Olaf's nose?"
"He still tries to eat it." Elsa said with a laugh.
Sven huffs in his face. Kristoff turns away and sees something. He points to a dilapidated barn.
KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
But I did find us a place to sleep.
And it's free.
INT. WANDERING OAKEN'S TRADING POST AND SAUNA — NIGHT
Anna stands watching Oaken and all his great height as he squeezes behind the counter and sits down low again.
OAKEN
(teddy bear)
I'm sorry about this violence. I
will add a quart of lutefisk, so
we'll have good feelings. Just the
outfit and boots, yah?
Anna looks between Kristoff's supplies and the door.
CUT TO:
INT. OAKEN'S STABLES - NIGHT
Kristoff, now unfrozen, relaxes on a bed of hay, playing his lute and singing to (and for) Sven.
KRISTOFF
REINDEERS ARE BETTER THAN PEOPLE.
SVEN, DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S TRUE?
KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONT'D)
(throwing his voice)
YEAH, PEOPLE WILL BEAT YOU & CURSE
YOU & CHEAT YOU.
EVERY ONE OF EM'S BAD, EXCEPT YOU.
"You sing to your reindeer?" Jackson asked, a small smirk on his face.
"It's perfectly normal!" Kristoff said defensively. "It helps calm him down when he's nervous!"
"You sing a duet with yourself, honey. I don't know if that's the most normal thing to do." Anna said, giggling behind her hand.
(speaking)
Oh, thanks, Buddy.
(singing, as Kristoff)
BUT PEOPLE SMELL BETTER THAN
REINDEERS.
SVEN, DON'T YOU THINK I'M RIGHT?
(As Sven)
THAT'S ONCE AGAIN TRUE,
FOR ALL EXCEPT YOU.
(As Kristoff)
YOU GOT ME. LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT.
(As Sven)
GOOD NIGHT.
(As Kristoff)
DON'T LET THE FROSTBITE BITE.
"Wait, that sounds like our lullaby!" Jasper exclaimed, and Jack began laughing.
"You used to sing it to Sven?" Maxine asked, and Kristoff groaned as his family laughed.
"I think it's cute." Anna said, smiling at her husband.
The door opens. Anna enters.
ANNA
Nice duet.
Kristoff sits up with a start...sees who it is.
KRISTOFF
Oh, it's just you. What do you
want?
ANNA
I want you to take me up the North
Mountain.
KRISTOFF
I don't take people places.
He lays back down, closes his eyes.
ANNA
Let me rephrase that...
A sack of supplies lands in Kristoff's lap.
KRISTOFF
Umph.
"You bought his supplies so he would have a reason to bring you up the mountain." Agnarr said, and Anna nodded, grinning in triumph.
"Nearly broke one of my ribs with that arm." Kristoff muttered, and Em snickered.
He sits up. Looks in the bag.
ANNA
Take me up the North Mountain...
Please.
He eyes her. He clearly doesn't take orders.
ANNA (CONT'D)
Look, I know how to stop this
winter.
He considers, lies back down, pulls his hat over his eyes.
KRISTOFF
We leave at dawn... And you forgot
the carrots for Sven.
A bag of carrots hits Kristoff in the face.
KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
Ugh!
ANNA
Oops. Sorry. Sorry. I'm sorry. I
didn't-
(catching herself)
We leave now. Right now.
"Go Auntie Anna!" Em cheered.
"I'll admit it, you impressed me with that." Kristoff said, and Anna kissed his cheek.
"I do try." she said cheekily.
She steps back outside and waits, anxiously. Annoyed, Kristoff offers Sven a carrot. Sven has a bite. Then Kristoff has a bite, contemplating.
SLAM CUT TO:
EXT. MOUNTAIN HIGH — NIGHT
Sven races, top speed, up a narrow cliff, pulling the sled, which skids precariously. Kristoff mans the reins. Anna sits
beside him.
KRISTOFF
(trying to scare Anna)
Hang on! We like to go fast!
ANNA
(fearless)
I like fast!
Anna leans back and puts her feet up on the dashboard.
KRISTOFF
Whoa, whoa! Get your feet down.
He pushes her feet down.
KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
This is fresh lacquer. Seriously,
were you raised in a barn?
Kristoff spits on the dash to clean it. The spit flies back and hits Anna in the face.
"Gross!" the kids all said.
"I loved that sled." Kristoff said wistfully, not noticing the grossed-out looks of his children and niece.
"I got you a new one!" Anna protested.
"Yeah, but that one was special." Kristoff replied.
"What made it so special?" Iduna asked, and Kristoff looked at his mother-in-law with a smile.
"It's where I met the love of my life." he replied, and Anna's face turned bright red, and she looked down.
"Aww!" the girls cooed, and Kristoff wrapped his arms around Anna, pulling her close.
"Sap." the princess said with a smile, her face still red as Kristoff kissed her cheek.
ANNA
(grossed out)
Ew. No, I was raised in a castle.
She wipes off her face.
KRISTOFF
So tell me, what made the Queen go
all ice-crazy?
ANNA
...Oh well, it was all my fault. I
got engaged but then she freaked
out because I'd only just met him,
you know, that day. And she said
she wouldn't bless the marriage-
KRISTOFF
Wait. You got engaged to someone
you just met?
ANNA
Yeah. Anyway, I got mad and so she
got mad and then she tried to walk
away, and I grabbed her glove-
KRISTOFF
Hang on. You mean to tell me you
got engaged to someone you just
met?!
"We get it! I was an idiot!" Anna said, throwing her arms up.
"But you did learn. You knew Kristoff for a year before he proposed to you." Elsa said, and Anna looked at her sister gratefully.
"Take that as a lesson, girls. Don't go after some pretty boy who says sweet things to you." Jack said sagely to his niece, daughter, and sister, who all surpressed giggles as they nodded,
ANNA
Yes. Pay attention. But the thing
is she wore the gloves all the
time, so I just thought, maybe she
has a thing about dirt.
KRISTOFF
Didn't your parents ever warn you
about strangers?
Anna eyes Kristoff up and down, then slides away from him.
ANNA
Yes, they did... But Hans is not a
stranger.
KRISTOFF
Oh yeah? What's his last name?
ANNA
...Of-the-Southern-Isles?
KRISTOFF
What's his favorite food?
ANNA
...Sandwiches.
KRISTOFF
Best friend's name?
ANNA
Probably John.
KRISTOFF
Eye color.
ANNA
Dreamy.
KRISTOFF
Foot size...?
ANNA
Foot size doesn't matter.
"Wow, I cannot believe how infatuated I was." Anna said in disbelief. "I remember you telling me all this again, but seeing myself like this, I cannot believe it." Kristoff's arm tightened around his wife comfortingly.
KRISTOFF
Have you had a meal with him yet?
What if you hate the way he eats?
What if you hate the way he picks
his nose?
ANNA
Picks his nose?
KRISTOFF
And eats it.
ANNA
Excuse me, sir. He's a prince.
KRISTOFF
All men do it.
ANNA
Ew. Look it doesn't matter; it's
true love.
KRISTOFF
Doesn't sound like true love.
ANNA
Are you some sort of love expert?
KRISTOFF
No. But I have friends who are.
ANNA
You have friends who are love
experts... I'm not buying it.
"The trolls!" Jasper and Maxine cried happily.
"How did you meet the trolls in the first place, Father?" Elsa asked.
"It was after you were born. Your mother and I noticed your powers a few months later, so we consulted a book your mother had been given by your uncle when he was searching for the Flower of Sunlight." Agnarr explained. "We found the trolls in the book, and while we didn't want to do anything drastic, we made sure to have the book close just in case." Elsa nodded.
"You mean that Uncle Frederic is one of the reasons we know about the trolls?" Anna asked, and her parents nodded.
"The Flower of Sunlight saved your Aunt Arianna, so we knew that book would end up being very useful." Iduna said.
"Did Uncle Frederic ever say where he got the book?" Elsa asked.
"He never did." Iduna replied, and the two sisters looked at one another.
Sven suddenly stops, ears perked in alarm.
KRISTOFF
(to Anna)
Stop talking.
ANNA
No, no, no. I'd like to meet these-
Kristoff clamps his hand over Anna's mouth.
KRISTOFF
I mean it. SHHH.
Kristoff stands, looks into the dark woods surrounding them. Sensing something behind them, he holds up his lantern. Its light reflects off...EYES. Several.
KRISTOFF(CONT'D)
Sven, go. Go!
Sven takes off.
ANNA
What are they?
KRISTOFF
Wolves.
Flashes of white dart through the woods. Kristoff hops into the back of the sled, grabs a torch. Lights it.
ANNA
Wolves. What do we do?
KRISTOFF
I've got this. You just...don't
fall off and don't get eaten.
"Have wolves ever attacked you before?" Cupcake asked, and Kristoff nodded.
"Sven and I normally get our ice in an area that's known to be home to a pack of wolves. It would get a little dangerous, especially if we were out at night." he said, and Anna shuddered.
"Those wolves were persistent." she said, and Kristoff nodded in agreement.
ANNA
But I wanna help.
KRISTOFF
No.
ANNA
Why not?
KRISTOFF
Because I don't trust your
judgement.
ANNA
Excuse me?!
A wolf jumps at them, but Kristoff kicks it off.
KRISTOFF
Who marries a man she just met?
Anna grabs the lute, swings it right at Kristoff's head.
ANNA
It's true love!
He screams, as she...BAM!...swings past Kristoff and knocks a wolf away.
KRISTOFF
(shocked)
Whoa.
Just then Kristoff is yanked off the sled by another wolf. The torch goes flying. Anna catches it, shocked.
ANNA
Christopher!
Kristoff grabs onto a loose rope hanging from the back of the sled and holds on for dear life as he's dragged behind.
KRISTOFF
It's Kristoff!
A wolf jumps on Kristoff's back.
"To be fair, you did introduce yourself when you were loading the sled, so I didn't quite get your real name." Anna said, crossing her arms as Kristoff grinned slightly.
KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
AH!
Anna thinks fast, uses the torch to light a blanket on fire.
ANNA
Duck!
Anna throws the flaming blanket right at him. He ducks. The blanket hits the wolves. They tumble off Kristoff.
KRISTOFF
You almost set me on fire!
Anna reaches out a hand, pulls Kristoff back onto the sled.
ANNA
But I didn't.
Sven cries out. There is a massive gorge ahead.
ANNA (CONT'D)
Get ready to jump, Sven!
KRISTOFF
You don't tell him what to do!
Kristoff shoves a satchel into her arms then scoops her up.
KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
I do!
Kristoff tosses Anna onto Sven, then unhooks Sven's harness from the sled.
KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
Jump, Sven!
Sven jumps the gorge with Anna on his back. Kristoff goes flying off behind them, still on the sled. Anna and Sven land safely on the other side of the gorge. Kristoff's sled loses momentum. It's not going to make it. He leaps off. He flaps his arms, claws at the air. He slams into the snowy edge of the cliff. Hanging by his hands, he looks down to see his sled hit the ground far below and burst into flames.
KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
(shocked sadness)
...But I just paid it off.
"And I got you a new one, so you don't get to pout about it." Anna said, and Kristoff laughed.
"I know, I know." he replied.
Suddenly, he starts to slip. He claws at the loose snow, but
it's clearly hopeless. He's going down.
KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
Uh-oh. No, no, no.
To make matters worse, an AXE comes flying right at his face.
KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
AH! NO, NO, NO!
The axe slams into the snow, inches from his nose.
ANNA (O.S.)
Grab on!
Kristoff grabs on.
ANNA (CONT'D)
Pull, Sven! Pull!
REVEAL: The axe is tied to a rope, then wrapped around Sven.
Anna helps Sven pull Kristoff to safety.
Kristoff rolls onto his back, exhausted. Anna peeks down at the burning sled.
ANNA (CONT'D)
Whoa... I'll replace your sled and
everything in it.
Kristoff groans.
ANNA (CONT'D)
And I understand if you don't want
to help me anymore.
Anna walks off, sadly. Sven comes over and nuzzles Kristoff.
KRISTOFF
Of course I don't want to help her
anymore. In fact, this whole thing
has ruined me for helping anyone
ever again.
KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONT'D)
But she'll die on her own.
KRISTOFF (AS SELF) (CONT'D)
I can live with that.
"And this is why it's not healthy to spend years alone talking to a reindeer." Jack stage-whispered to Elsa and Em, who both laughed.
"You're just jealous." Kristoff said, and Jack raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, I'm extremely jealous of your totally-not-weird relationship with your pet reindeer." he replied, and Emma giggled as Jackson laughed outright.
Through their conversation, they watch Anna go the wrong way...turn, go the other wrong way, turn, trip...
KRISTOFF (AS SVEN) (CONT'D)
But you won't get your new sled if
she's dead.
KRISTOFF (CONT'D)
(knowing he's got a point)
...You know sometimes I really
don't like you.
ANNA
(uncertain)
...Yeah. Now come on. This way to
the North Mountain?
She points straight ahead.
KRISTOFF
More like this way.
He points her finger up towards a perilously mighty mountain.
"Whoa." the Burgess kids all said with wide eyes, staring at the massive mountain.
"It's bigger than it looks." Anna remarked, and Elsa nodded in agreement.
"It's so much fun flying around it, though." Em said as the scene changed to show the next part of the movie.
Please review!
