Excerpt from CSI: Cinderella's Story Investigated

​

LOWRATIO

Please describe to me what happened on the night in question.


PRINCE

Well, it all started last evening when I held a ball to find my future wife.


LOWRATIO

Let me get this straight. You were lonely so you went to a fortune teller and held her crystal ball which revealed your one true love?


PRINCE

Uhm…no.


DUKE

I think he means a royal ball. You know, like a formal dance?


LOWRATIO

Right. I knew that. Carry on.


PRINCE

So, I invited every woman in the entire kingdom to choose from, but none of them were my type. At least not in the beginning.


LOWRATIO

So what you’re saying is, it took a while to… (Puts on sunglasses dramatically) get the ball rolling. (SFX: Won’t get fooled scream).


(DUKE and PRINCE look around for where the scream came from.)


PRINCE

Yes… I guess you could say that. Anyway, just when I began to think that I would never get my Happily Ever After, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life walked in wearing a stunning blue gown. I immediately took her hand and asked her to dance.


DUKE

That’s beautiful.


PRINCE

We danced all night, just the two of us. It was a magical evening, and I fell head over heels in love with her. Then at midnight, she ran away without explanation and I haven’t seen her since.


LOWRATIO

(Removes sunglasses) And what was this woman’s name?


PRINCE

I don’t know.


DUKE

Well, could you describe her for us?


PRINCE

I don’t remember.


LOWRATIO

How long did you say you spent with her?


PRINCE

Three hours, maybe more.


LOWRATIO

So, you spent three hours with a woman whom you fell head over heels in love with and you don’t know her name or what she looks like?


PRINCE

That’s right.


DUKE

I hope at least that you will know her when you see her.


PRINCE

(Thinks a moment) No, I don’t think so.


DUKE

Well, the occasional plot hole never hurt anyone.


PRINCE

But I have a thought on that. If you would just give me the shoe back, I could try it on every woman in the kingdom and I will marry the one woman who fits the shoe.


LOWRATIO

Are you aware of how many women of age there are in the kingdom?


PRINCE

Of course, I’m the prince, it’s my job to know. Seven hundred and forty two.


DUKE

And are you aware of how many different women's shoe sizes there are?


PRINCE

I don’t know. A thousand?


DUKE

Eight.


PRINCE

I see. I think I’m going to need a bigger bedroom.
