Script extract:

 Queen: Truthful mobile, when you've scrolled

Through the ladies, young and old,

The rich, the poor, the short, the tall -

Who is the fairest of us all?

Phone (mechanical voice): I can only tell what's true.

Madam, still it isn't you.

In a cottage, neat and bright,

Lives the loveliest girl – Snow White!

(Queen recoils in horror, throwing up her hands etc.)

Queen: Snow White? Snow White? What? Still alive?

How did that frightful girl contrive

My foolproof murderous plot to flee?

Where is she now? Where can she be?

Phone: Your Majesty, no need for stress.

I'll guide you, using GPS.
