(Part I)
- Once upon a time, there was a handsome prince from the magical land of Nantucket who had a trusty broadsword so large that...
- And then the Frog said to Princess Elspeth, "What, no tongue?"
- So party of the first part and the party of the second part lived happily -- and legally -- ever after.
- The wicked surrogate mother convinced the biological parents to leave the frozen embryos in the forest, where she planned to conduct stem-cell research on them.

- ...and that night, after the princess told him she was going to have his child, the prince put out to sea, vowing never to return.
- And after the prince did slay the mighty dragon, knights from the far-away land called PETA did hound him the rest of his days.
