| A retelling of the movie with some key differences to set up the series. The primary changes are that Lone Star retains the ring of the Schwartz (though after his battle with Helmet, Lone Star is seen wearing the ring, meaning he got it back) and he does not turn out to be a prince. Thus, Vespa instead decides to stay single since she cannot marry him. | ||||

Famous quotes containing the word episodes:
“What is a novel if not a conviction of our fellow-men’s existence strong enough to take upon itself a form of imagined life clearer than reality and whose accumulated verisimilitude of selected episodes puts to shame the pride of documentary history?”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“Twenty or thirty years ago, in the army, we had a lot of obscure adventures, and years later we tell them at parties, and suddenly we realize that those two very difficult years of our lives have become lumped together into a few episodes that have lodged in our memory in a standardized form, and are always told in a standardized way, in the same words. But in fact that lump of memories has nothing whatsoever to do with our experience of those two years in the army and what it has made of us.”
—Václav Havel (b. 1936)
