You've got pears in your flowers.

Heh. I'll keep this safe. I will take good
care of it. Now, what did you want to tell
me?

Hmm. What about him?
Clarisse : Edward Christopher Philippe Gerard
Renaldi was your father.
MIA :
Yeah, sure. My father was the prince of
Genovia. Uh-huh. You're joking.
Clarisse : Why would I joke about something
like that?
MIA :
No! No! Because if he's really a prince,
then I--
Clarisse : Exactly. You're not just Amelia
Thermopolis. You are Amelia Mignonette
Thermopolis Renaldi, Princess of Genovia.
MIA :
Me? A, a princess?
Shut up!
Clarisse : I beg your pardon? Shut up?
Man :
Your Majesty, in America, it doesn't always
