One of the first things Stacy-as-Margaret says to Prince Edward is: "I have a lazy eye. Not all the time, just when I get fatigued." Have I mentioned how close the dialogue in this movie has made me come to finishing this bottle of wine by myself?
On top of that bizarre saying, Stacy later makes up this phrase while riding with Edward: "A warm horse is a happy horse, and nothing is better than a happy horse." Yeah! Definitely heard that one before, girl!
Despite never having ridden a horse before, Stacy learns in approximately 30 seconds.
Although her riding outfit is — dare I say it — cute, the rest of Stacy-as-Margaret's looks are all in garish shades of pink and look like they were plucked from the sale bin at Filene's Basement two decades ago.
OH, wow, I totally forgot to mention the magical old man subplot going on, haven't I? While still in Chicago, Stacy bumps into an older gentleman who (ominously?) tells her "Christmas wishes have been known to come true." She sees him selling Christmas stockings at the village in Belgravia later on, and he also pops up towards the end of the movie a few times. Do with that knowledge what you will, because I've truly had too much wine to consider how this plot point affects the story at this point.
Back to Edward: He's nice, for the most part, but frigid and traditional. Good thing our gal from Chicago is ready to thaw him out! Wink, wink!
