DRAFT SEPTEMBER 7, 1995 SCREENPLAY
NARRATOR (V.O.): Once upon a time, there was a lovely princess, and a peasant. When she lived in a glittering castle.
INT. CASTLE - MORNING
NARRATOR (V.O.): There, she had a servant who kept her castle in order, chose her daily robes for the day, and served her in her dreamhouse, prepared her royal breakfast. She had fortune. She had fame. (clears throat) But she had product indorsements. But she was not what she seemed. On the other hand, in a humble village far, far away, the peasant had none of her luxuries, then perhaps it the fairytale.
EXT. ROADSIDE - MORNING
NARRATOR (V.O.): So, with a fond farewell from his closest friends and gifts of good luck, best wishes and useless junk, although it’s the thought that counts, his world was about to clash with hers in a place called: Hollywood!

SINGER: OUR TIME HAS COME
WALK IN THE SUN
I'VE PACKED MY HOPES, WE'RE READY TO ROLL

OUR TIME HAS COME,
WE'RE STRAIGHT THROUGH THE SUN,
OH WITH OUR HEART AND SOUL,
WATCH US GO,
WE'RE ON OUR WAY,
WITH A LITTLE LOVE WE KNOW,
NOTHING CAN STOP US,
SO TELL EVERYONE
