Descendants Ben Lines

MAL: Nothing! I just threw it in there. You know - in case we got rained out. Books make great umbrellas.

BEN: "Speed reading"? "Cooking spell"? And here I was giving you props for fitting in. Doing your best.

CARLOS: Well maybe you don't need us, but perhaps you could use:

BEN: ... A Pre-King with a post-apology?

MAL: ... Okay?

BEN: ... And I'm Ben!

BEAST: Once chance, Ben. I may be giving up the crown for some well-deserved R & R - but I'm still your father. And if you do not succeed... Auradon will never re-open its walls again.

BEN: ... Then I'd better be right.

AUDREY: His girlfriend. Right bennyboo?

BEN: ... Uh-huh!

BELLE/BEAST: Oh-!!!

BEN: ... and... Maleficent.

MAL: Believe me, we don't.

BEN: A crown doesn't make you royalty.

MAL: That is... beyond exciting. Can the four of us stand in the front row? Next to Fairy Godmother? So we can just soak up all that goodness?

BEN: Ah, sorry. Up front is just me, my folks, and my girlfriend.

EVIE: Oh yeah? Then who's it about?

BEN: All of us! There are no second chances here. If Mal's not at the coronation - if my being crowned doesn't' signify the mending of our cultures - my parents will close the portal and never open it again.

ALL: 'Cause we're better together.

BEN: And to prove it, my first official decree: We are all capable of good and bad, no matter where we come from. The only way forward is as one. May the portal be opend! Forever!

AUDREY: You're a bad, bad influence.

BEN: Audrey! What is wrong with you?

MAL/BEN: Because we're better together...

BEN: Blah blah blah... big finish. Well! I'm starved. Got any more of those delicious cookies?

MAL: No, you don't. Ben, I tricked you. I gave you a love spell-

BEN: But I came to the Isle, Mal. Magic doesn't work on the Isle, does it.

BEAST: This is out of control! And exactly what I feared would happen.

BEN: But it's not their fault!

MAL: Yeah... me neither...

BEN: But looking at you now... I think I finally understand the difference between pretty and beautiful.

BELLE: The children of our sworn enemies?! No. I draw the line. Maleficent is the worst villain in the land. We tried this kind of leniency before and she nearly destroyed us!

BEN: But that was twenty years ago! We have to learn to live together, now, or we'll be cursed to repeat the past.

DOUG: Ohmagah!!! I mean... yeahsurewhynot.

BEN: Can I ask you a favor?

MAL: ... Any good?

BEN: Chewy. Mmm... warm... sweet... soft... Have you always had those golden flecks in your eyes?

CHAD: You know, here in Auradon we have a place for common thieves like you - it's called jail.

BEN: Cool it, Chad.

BELLE: See? Our son is sensible. Now, Ben - who are their parents.

BEN: Cruella de Vil...

AURADONIANS: Mal!

BEN: Did I mention that I'm in love?

EVIE: She literally just left.

BEN: Do you know where she's going?

EVIE: Well, Mal just saved your life. If her mom had found us there, we'd all be history. Believe that?

BEN: Do you think she'll come back?

CROWD: Hey hey, ho ho! These evil kids have got to go!

BEN: Don't listen to them-

EVIE: She's in trouble.

BEN: Evie. Have you seen Mal?

BEAST: He's never been to the Isle, he doesn't know what they're like-

BEN: For starters, they're not a "they." We can start with a test run I've already picked four candidates.

MAL: Oh boy...

BEN: Gimme an "A"!

AURADONIANS: A!

BEN: Gimme an "L"!

BEN: I'm completely obsessed...

BEN: Gimme an "M"!

MAL: You're not so disgusting yourself.

BEN: Here, sit. Tell me something you've never told anyone. Come on - your secret's safe with me!

MAL: You can do it. Be evil. Be evil.

BEN: Hey... thanks for coming back.

Mal: Our parents are counting on us. We can't let them down. Now... if only we had someone else who could get the wand for us...

BEN: Hi Mal, hi everybody! I just wanted to apologize for any tension you've felt since arriving here. It's-

MAL: If my mom finds you, you're not going back at all. Hide!

BEN: Hi! I missed you too-

MAL: How about you? Tell me something that you've never told anyone.

BEN: How about "I love you."

AUDREY/MAURICE: It's gateway magic!!!

BEN: How is it magic?

MAL: ... Why would I do that?

BEN: I heard what you said to your mom on the isle. You don't have to be her. 'Cause you're not her.

EVIE: But let's get two things straight: Number one, you have to promise to do every single thing I say. It's dangerous over there for a newcomer, not to mention the almost King of Auradon.

BEN: I promise. And number two?

FAIRY GODMOTHER: Do you solemnly swear to govern the people of Auradon with justice and mercy, so long as you reign?

BEN: I solemnly swear.

MAL: Heard that.

BEN: I think you're wrong about them.

MAL: Ben! You can't be here!

BEN: I'm not going back without you.

MAL: Your secret's safe with me.

BEN: In Auradon, the rich and the strong have always protected the poor and the weak. Except for the Isle. And ti's time for that to change.

MAL: Maybe about the coronation? Like, are you nervous? Do you ever wish you weren't going to be king? Does the wand get passed around during the ceremony...?

BEN: It's all I think about these days! I'm supposed to uphold tradish. But... should I? I don't know.

EVIE: You mean the plan that makes you look good won't work without her.

BEN: It's not about me.

CARLOS: Me? A "star"?... Does this mean I have to like you now?

BEN: It's okay, take your time.

MAL: Stand back!

BEN: It's okay-

BELLE: Is this really the only way?

BEN: It's the only one we haven't tried.

BELLE/BEAST: Oh-

BEN: Jafar

JANE: No! It's my turn now! I have the power! Over you! Over all of you!!!!

BEN: Jane, put the wand down, please!

JAY: How do you know about that?

BEN: Just heard Mal say it to her mom.

BEAST: ... And what are you wearing?

BEN: Just... trying out a new look? And I'm fine! I'd tell you fi anything was wrong. I-I promise.

BEN: Come on now! Yeah!

BEN: Mal! Go to coronation with me?

AURADONIANS: Hey hey, ho ho! These evil kids have got to go!

BEN: Mal, where are you-?

MAL: It also belongs to the most hated person on the planet.

BEN: Mal-eficent. Got it. that's tough.

MAL: Yeah - long live it.

BEN: Mal? Mal!!! Wait-!

ROYAL PAGE: On who's aurhtority?

BEN: Mine. But keep it quiet.

BEAST: Grrr, darling, grrr-

BEN: Mom Dad - you set the stage for me to take Auradon into the next generation. And with that in mind - I've chosen my first official proclamation as King!

CARLOS: ... And I'll be the water boy!

BEN: Nah, you've got speed, Carlos! With some training, you could be a star.

FAIRY GODMOTHER: Perhaps my priorities have been out of whack. I could learn a thing or two from the four of you. Bibbidi-bobbidi-how-about-that?

BEN: Next time I rescue you, okay?

JAY: Experiment? We're not lab rats.

BEN: No, I know - I didn't mean-

CARLOS: Decapitate you. You've held our island down for decades.

BEN: Not me. My parents.

MAL: You heard what I said, and you're still here with me?

BEN: Of course I am. I love you.

MAL: You've told everyone that. You sang a whole song about it.

BEN: Oh yeah.

AUDREY: Passing notes?! That's against the rules! I mean really, Ben, what did you expect? They must be expelled-

BEN: Oh, come on, what's the harm?

MAL: Hey Bennyboo! I made some cookies. Would you like one? Chocolate chip - the most important food group!

BEN: Oh, thanks, but I-

BELLE: Careful, Mal!

BEN: Okay, now give it to me-

EVIE/CARLOS/JAY: Chillin' like a villain (third time).

BEN: Open the portal.

EVIE: Shhh!!! He'll hear you. Wait... where is he?

BEN: Pleasant salutations to you-

MAL: Uh-huh?

BEN: Please don't wreck this day.

BELLE/BEAST: Oh-!

BEN: Queen Grimhilde...

CARLOS: Lay low! You know what people would do if they knew who you were?

BEN: Say hello and shake my hand?

MAL: Yeah.. me neither.

BEN: So far, we have a lot in common.

BEAST: The Isle of the Lost? Okay...

BEN: So... I've decided: The children on the Isle of the Lost... should come to live here in Auradon!

MAL: What a whirlwind...

BEN: Sorry, that got crazy back there. I dunno what came over me.

MAL: She also goes by "Mom." But, yeah.

BEN: That doesn't mean it defines you, though. Right? It's just a name.

MAL: No, I get it. "Be careful of gifts offered by villains." Every kid in Auradon learns that one, right?

BEN: That's not it-

MAL: Hey! You're cautious. That's smart. More for me.

BEN: There, see? I trust you.

AUDREY: Evil Queen Grimhilde has no royal status here, and neither do you.

BEN: This is Audrey-

DOUG: Heigh-ho!

BEN: This is Doug...! He's going to help you with class schedules and show you the dorms - and bathrooms. Ha. I'll see you all later, okay? If you need anything, feel free to-

JAY: Hey, Audrey. The name's Jay. Like Jafar, only the newer model.

BEN: This is a momentous occasion - one that will go down in history. The day our peoples began to heal!

EVIE, CARLOS, JAY, BEN: Whoooaaa!!!

BEN: This place is in terrible living conditions. It needs our help-

EVIE: I shouldn't say. Ugh - the Isle.

BEN: Ugh, I knew it! She's been unders so much pressure - and instead of being there for her, I went all "Beast Mode." I have to find her and apologize, beg her to come back. Connecting our two worlds doesn't work without her.

MAL: It wore off... And you didn't-?

BEN: Walk away? No. If there's one thing I learned over there on the Isle, it's that sometimes rules need to be broken in order to be mended. Okay... wish me luck.

MAL: ... Or the day you showed four Evils where the bathrooms were?

BEN: Was the speech a bit over the top?

MAL: Well you're just like your dad, so we're even.

BEN: Watch your tongue, Evil!

BELLE: It's been chaos around here. And there is much to be done - the coronation is tomorrow!

BEN: Well hte, we have plenty of time.

CARLOS/JAY: Uh-huh.

BEN: Well then. I guess I should go.

MAL: Royally.

BEN: Well, I appreciate your critique.

MAL: ... It kind of does.

BEN: Well, it doesn't make you good at public speaking! I have to give a speech on Sunday. Could I practice on you? It's supposed to be a secret, but-

AURADONIANS: L!

BEN: What's that spell?

MAL: Sure, have as many as you want. Get it together, girl. Be Evil! Oh... no! Wait, I'll get them-

BEN: What's this...?

BELLE/BEAST: Ooh, do tell!/Yes, finally./etc.

BEN: When I look out over our beautiful island, I always see the Isle of the Lost in the distance. They've been abandoned. And they deserve a second chance.

EVIE: But we like you now! So, plans off.

BEN: Why should I believe you?

MAL: Nothing we can't handle, Pre-King.

BEN: Yeah... but you shouldn't have to. The whole point of this experiment is to prove that we're equal.

BEAST: She's guilty of unspeakable crimes!

BEN: Yes, but her daughter isn't. What if she could learn to be good?

EVIE: You'll never find her on the Isle by yourself. You'll need to know her hideouts, how to get around. It's not so simple. You'll... have to take me. And Jay and Carlos.

BEN: You guys would do that? Thank you...

JAY: Yes! It's lootin' time!

BEN: You really want to do this?

MAL: If only.

BEN: You're going to steal the wand at the coronation?

MAL: "Be gone the moment that you've just seen - Reverse it with -" "Replace it with -" Agh, focus, Mal!

BEN: You're spelling me right now?! You know the decree! "Magic shall not be used in Auradon"! Audrey was right. You're just like your mom.

MAL: Hmmm. Well - I'm not exactly... comfortable with my name?

BEN: Your name? "Mal"? You mean, like, it's hard to say? 'Cause it's not.

MAL: We have no choice! Our parents-

BEN: Your parents made their choices! Now make yours.

MAL: Wait! Is it true we all get to go to your coronation?

BEN: Yup! The whole school goes.

ROYAL PAGE: One portal to the Isle of the Lost comin' riiiiight up!

EVIE, CARLOS, JAY, BEN: Whoooaaa!!!
