Anna's smile drops. She tries not to get emotional.
"Excuse me for a minute."
She walks away. Elsa watches her go, saddened. Moving through the crowd, Anna gets bumped by a bowing man's butt. She falls. Just before she hits the floor, Hans catches her. He smiles perfectly.
"Glad I caught you."
"Hans."
He smoothly sets his drink down on a passing tray. He lifts her up and leads her in a romantic dance.
Anna and Hans drink and chat.
"I often had the whole parlor to myself to slide... Oops. Sorry."
She hits him in the face by mistake with her hand. He laughs.
Anna and Hans stroll out of the castle.
"...Your physique helps I'm sure."
Hans notices her white streak.
"What's this?"
"I was born with it, although I dreamt I was kissed by a troll."
"I like it."
Anna teaches Hans how to eat krumkake.
"Yeah, the whole thing! You got it."
They laugh as the krumkake crumbles in his face.
"Okay wait, wait. So you have how many brothers?"
"Twelve older brothers. Three of them pretended I was invisible... literally...for two years."
"That's horrible."
"It's what brothers do."
"...And sisters. Elsa and I were really close when we were little. But then, one day she just shut me
out, and I never knew why."
He takes her hand. Leans in close.
"I would never shut you out."
"Okay, can I just say something crazy?"
"I love crazy."
"Love is an Open Door"
ALL MY LIFE HAS BEEN A SERIES OF DOORS IN MY FACE.
AND THEN SUDDENLY I BUMP INTO YOU.
"I was thinking the same thing, because like. . ."
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING MY WHOLE LIFE
TO FIND MY OWN PLACE.
AND MAYBE IT'S THE PARTY TALKING,
OR THE CHOCOLATE FONDUE.
BUT WITH YOU-
BUT WITH YOU,
I FOUND MY PLACE.
I SEE YOUR FACE.
AND IT'S NOTHING LIKE I'VE EVER KNOWN BEFORE.
They jump to the neighboring balcony and enter a door. They come out on top of one of the castle's towers.
LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR!
LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR!
LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR
WITH YOU!
WITH YOU!
WITH YOU!
WITH YOU!
LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR.
They hop up on the castle roof and watch a shooting star.
I MEAN IT'S CRAZY.
"What?"
WE FINISH EACH OTHER'S-
SANDWICHES!
"That's what I was gonna say!"
They slide down the back of the roof out of sight. We next find them strutting on a bridge ledge.
I'VE NEVER MET SOMEONE-
WHO THINKS SO MUCH LIKE ME.
"Jinx.. . .jinx again."
Are they doing the robot? No. They're imitating the mechanical figures on the clock tower.
OUR MENTAL SYNCHRONIZATION
CAN HAVE BUT ONE EXPLANATION,
YOU-
AND I-
WERE-
JUST-
MEANT TO BE.
Anna and Hans dance on top of the lighthouse and cast dancing shadows across the sails of ships in the docks.
SAY GOODBYE-
SAY GOODBYE-
TO THE PAIN OF THE PAST.
WE DON'T HAVE TO FEEL IT ANYMORE!
LOVE IS AN OPEN-
They play hide and seek amongst the stable doors.
DOOR! LOVE IS AN OPEN DOOR!
They climb to the waterfall looking out over the kingdom. Anna raises up her hands to frame the moon. Hans puts his hands on top of hers. Together their hands form a heart.
LIFE CAN BE SO MUCH MORE-
WITH YOU!
WITH YOU!
WITH YOU!
WITH YOU!
LOVE IS AN OPEN
DOOR.
DOOR.
"Can I say something crazy...? Will you marry me?"
"Can I just say something even crazier? Yes."
Anna pushes through the crowd towards Elsa, Hans in tow.
"Oops! Pardon. Sorry. Can we just get around you there? Thank you. Oh, there she is. Elsa!"
Elsa turns to Anna. Anna curtseys awkwardly.
"I mean...Queen... Me again. Um. May I present Prince Hans of the Southern Isles."
"Your Majesty."
Elsa remembers Prince Kai, and frowns. She later just joins in with the flow. She gives a polite but reserved curtsey.
"We would like—"
"-your blessing—"
"-of—"
"-our marriage!"
"Marriage...?"
"Yes!"
"I'm sorry, I'm confused."
"Well, we haven't worked out all the details ourselves. We'll need a few days to plan the ceremony. Of
course we'll have soup, roast, and ice cream and then- Wait. Would we live here?"
"Here?"
"Absolutely!" said Hans
"Anna—"
"Oh, we can invite all twelve of your brothers to stay with us—"
"What? No, no, no, no, no." she remembers what Kai had done to her.
"Of course we have the room. I don't know. Some of them must—"
"Wait. Slow down. No one's brothers are staying here. No one is getting married."
"Wait, what?"
"May I talk to you, please. Alone."
Anna sees Hans's worried face. Hooks arms with him.
"No. Whatever you have to say, you-you can say to both of us."
"Fine. You can't marry a man you just met."
"You can if it's true love."
"Anna, what do you know about true love?" She remembers Simon's sacrifice for her
"More than you. All you know is how to shut people out."
"You asked for my blessing, but my answer is no. Now, excuse me."
"Your Majesty, if I may ease your—"
"No, you may not. And I-I think you should go."
Elsa walks away. As she passes the Royal Handler-
"The party is over. Close the gates."
"What? Elsa, no. No, wait!"
Anna grabs Elsa's hand. She pulls off Elsa's glove. Elsa gasps, spins around and reaches for the glove in panic.
"Give me my glove!"
Anna holds the glove away from Elsa.
"Elsa, please. Please. I can't live like this anymore."
Elsa fights tears.
"...Then leave."
Elsa sees Anna's hurt face. It's too much. She can't hold it in. She turns and rushes away.
"...What did I ever do to you?!"
The party goes silent as everyone watches the sisters.
"Enough, Anna."
"No. Why? Why do you shut me out?! Why do you shut the world out?! What are you so afraid of?!"
"I said, enough!"
Ice shoots from Elsa's hand, spikes across the floor! Guests cry out in shock, back away.
"...Sorcery. I knew there was something dubious going on here."
"Elsa...?"
Elsa rushes out of the room. Elsa bursts out of the castle door. The citizens cheer!
"There she is. Your Majesty! Long live the Queen! Queen Elsa... Come drink with us."
Elsa ducks through the crowd, holding her bare hand.
"Your Majesty? Are you all right?"
Elsa backs away from the baby. She knocks into the fountain, grabs its edge. The waters freeze at her touch. Gasps of shock and fear sweep over the crowd. The Duke and thugs come out the door.
"There she is! Stop her!"
"Please, just stay away from me. Stay away!"
Magic accidentally shoots from her hand and turns the staircase into ice. The thugs and the Duke fall.
"Monster... Monster!"
The crowd panics. A snowstorm begins. Elsa flees. Anna runs out of the palace doors, carrying the glove.
"Elsa!"
Hans follows closely behind her.
Elsa runs out of the gates and down to the water's edge. The shoreline freezes under her feet. Anna calls to her from the gates.
"Elsa! Wait, please!"
Elsa glances back at Anna, but turns away. She tentatively steps out onto the fjord. It freezes instantly. She breaks into a run, as the water freezes over with each step.
"Elsa, stop!"
Anna rushes out onto the fjord ice, slips, falls.
"Anna!"
Hans rushes to Anna's side.
Elsa reaches the far shore. She doesn't look back. She just scrambles into the mountains.
"No."
"Look... The fjord."
The ice spreads out until the entire fjord is frozen, locking the ships in place.
Snow falls. Hans and Anna move through the panicking crowd.
"Snow? It's...snow...in July."
"...Are you all right?"
"No."
"Did you know?"
"No."
Nearby, the Duke flutters about in fright.
"Look! It's snowing! It's snowing! The Queen has cursed this land! She must be stopped! You have to go after her."
Anna rushes up to the Duke.
"Wait, no!"
The Duke hides behind his thugs and points out at Anna.
"You! Is there sorcery in you, too? Are you a monster, too?"
No. No. I'm completely ordinary.
"That's right she is...in the best way."
"...And my sister's not a monster."
"She nearly killed me."
"You slipped on ice."
"Her ice!"
"It was an accident. She was scared. She didn't mean it. She didn't mean any of this... Tonight was my
fault. I pushed her. So I'm the one that needs to go after her."
"Yes. Fine. Do."
"What?"
"Bring me my horse, please."
"Anna, no. It's too dangerous."
"Elsa's not dangerous. I'll bring her back, and I'll make this right."
The Royal Handler brings Anna her horse and a cloak.
"I'm coming with you."
"No, I need you here to take care of Arendelle."
He sees the desperation in her eyes.
"...On my honor."
She throws on the cloak and hops right onto the horse, coronation dress and all.
"I leave Prince Hans in charge!"
"Are you sure you can trust her? I don't want you getting hurt."
"She's my sister; she would never hurt me."
She snaps the reins and rides out. Hans watches after her.
The snow picks up and overtakes our view. We push through a blizzard...lose our way...then find ourselves.
