Verna Felton movie quotes

View Quote Maleficent: Oh, come now, Prince Philip. Why so melancholy? A wondrous future lies before you. You, the destined hero of a charming fairy tale come true. [She shows Philip an image of King Stefan's castle, using her staff] Behold, King Stefan's castle. And in yonder topmost tower, dreaming of her true love, the Princess Aurora. But see the gracious whim of fate. Why, 'tis the selfsame peasant maid who won the heart of our noble prince but yesterday. She is indeed most wondrous fair, gold of sunshine in her hair, lips that shame the red, red rose. In ageless sleep, she finds repose. The years roll by. But a hundred years, to a steadfast heart, are but a day. And now, the gates of a dungeon part and our prince is free to go his way. Off he rides on his noble steed-- [shows him walking slowly away on his horse, old and slumped] a valiant figure, straight and tall-- to wake his love with "love's first kiss"...and prove that "true love" conquers all! [laughs wildly and evily]
Merryweather: Why, you, you, y-- [Flora pulls her back into hiding; Diablo the crow hears them, but Maleficent summons him]
Maleficent: Come, my pet. Let us leave our noble prince with these happy thoughts. [at the door] A most gratifying day. For the first time in sixteen years, I shall sleep well. [she leaves; Diablo eyes the door suspiciously]
[Flora, Fauna and Merryweather fly in]
Flora: Shh! No time to explain. [they magically break his chains and he gets up to leave] Wait, Prince Philip. The road to true love may be barred by still many more dangers, which you alone will have to face. So arm thyself with this enchanted shield of virtue, and this mighty sword of truth, for these weapons of righteousness will triumph over evil. Now come, we must hurry.

View Quote [A storm blows up and a gust of wind blows open the castle doors. Maleficent magically appears from the green flames]
Fauna: Why, it's Maleficent!
Merryweather: What does she want here?
Flora: Shh!
Maleficent: Well, quite a glittering assemblage, King Stefan. Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and-- [chuckles and looks at the Good Fairies] How quaint! Even the Rabble. [Merryweather charges at her but is held back by Flora] I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation.
Merryweather: You weren't wanted.
Maleficent: Not wa--Oh, dear, what an awkward situation. I had hoped it was merely due to some oversight. Well, in that event, I'd best be on my way.
Queen: And you're not offended, Your Excellency?
Maleficent: Why, no, Your Majesty. And to show I bear no ill will, I, too, shall bestow a gift on the child. Listen well, all of you! The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But… before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she shall prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel...and DIE!
Queen: [grabs Aurora] Oh, no!
[Maleficent maniacally chuckles]
Stefan: Seize that creature!
Maleficent: Stand back, you fools! [disappears in green flames while manically cackling when her crow flies away into the distance]

Fauna: She's in love of--
Merryweather: Oh no!
Flora: This is terrible!
Aurora: Why? After all, I am sixteen.
Flora: It isn't that, dear.
Fauna: You are already betrothed.
Aurora: Betrothed?
Merryweather: Since the day you were born.
Fauna: To Prince Phillip, dear.
Aurora: But that's impossible! How could've I marry a prince? I have to be--
Merryweather: A princess.
Fauna: And you are, dear.
Flora: Princess Aurora. Tonight we're taking you back to your father, King Stefan.
Aurora: But I can't! He's coming here tonight, I'd promised to meet him.
Flora: I'm sorry, child. But you must never see that young man again.
Aurora: Oh no! No! I can't believe it! No! No!
(She runs to her room crying)
Merryweather: And we thought she'd be so happy.

Aunt Sarah: I want a muzzle. A good strong muzzle.
Pet Store Clerk: Yes, Ma'am. Now, here's our latest [we see the pet store clerk's arms] combination leash and muzzle. Now, first, you just slip it on... like this, and then you'll have to...

View Quote [During the inspection of the Jungle Patrol]
Winifred: March, march, march. My feet are killing me.
Elephant #1: [whispers] I’m putting in for a transfer to another herd.
Col. Hathi: Silence in the ranks!

View Quote Col. Hathi: [looking closely at a recruit’s trunk] Tsk, tsk, tsk. A dusty muzzle. [to elephant in question] Soldier, remember, in battle, that trunk can save your life. [taps trunk with cane] Take good care of it, my man.
Elephant #2: Yes, sir!
Col. Hathi: Very good. Carry on. [the next recruit has dirty tusks and is lazily chewing on some vegetation until the Colonel clears his throat in serious annoyance] Let's have a little more spit and polish on those bayonets. [taps tusk with cane]
Elephant #3: Yes, sir!
Col. Hathi: Esprit de corps! That's the way that I earned my commission in the Mahajarah's 5th Pachyderm Brigade. Back in '88, it was-- Or was it?
Winifred: [whispering to another elephant] Here it comes. The "Victoria Cross" bit again.
Col. Hathi: It was then I received the Victoria Cross, for bravery above and beyond the call of duty. [chuckles] Those were the days. Discipline! Discipline was the thing! [leans on his bamboo cane] It builds character and all that sort of thing, you know. [his cane snaps in half as he leans on it] Oh. Uh, where was I? Oh, yes. Inspection. [The next recruit is a rough-looking elephant with bent tusks and a black eye] Well, very good. [The next recruit is an elephant with a goofy-looking grin across his face] Wipe off that silly grin, soldier! This is the army. [The elephant's smile droops into a sad frown, making his tusks droop. The next recruit is focused on a fly buzzing around his face which lands on his trunk] Ahem. [swats the fly with his cane] Eyes front. [Next, the lieutenant, with a mop of hair] Tsk, tsk, tsk. Lieutenant, that haircut is not regulation. [messes the hair up] Rather on the gaudy side, don't you think? [Hathi swipes his cane across, giving the lieutenant a military-style flat-topped haircut] There. That's better. [Hathi looks to the left] And as for you-- [Realizes that he's talking to his son Hathi Jr. and looks down] Oh, there you are. [chuckles] Let's keep those heels together, shall we, son?
Junior: OK, Pop--sir!
Col. Hathi: Yes, that's better. [turns to Mowgli] Well, a new recruit, eh? [chuckles and pokes Mowgli's nose with his cane] I say, what happened to your trunk?
Mowgli: Hey! Stop that!
Col. Hathi: [gasps, sputters] A Man-Cub! [picking up Mowgli with his trunk] Oh, this is treason! Sabotage! I’ll have no Man-Cub in my jungle! [puts him down on ground]
Mowgli: It’s not your jungle!
Bagheera: Hold it. Hold it! I can explain, Hathi.
Col. Hathi: Colonel Hathi, if you please, sir.
Bagheera: Oh, yes, yes. Colonel Hathi. The Man-Cub is with me. I'm taking him back to the Man Village.
Col. Hathi: To stay?
Bagheera: You have the word of Bagheera.
Col. Hathi: Good. And remember that an elephant never forgets. [mumbling, and Mowgli crosses his arms and frowns at him] Heh. I don't know what the army's coming to these days. These young whippersnappers, who do they think they are?

View Quote [Col. Hathi and the Jungle Patrol are marching]
Bagheera: Stop! Wait a minute! [bellows] HA-A-A-A-A-A-A-LT!
[The Jungle Patrol abruptly stops]
Col. Hathi: Who said, "Halt!"? I give the commands around here. Now, speak up. Who was it?
Bagheera: Oh, it was me, Colonel.
Col. Hathi: What do you mean, sir? Taking over my command? Highly irregular, you know!
[Shere Khan is seen spying on them]
Bagheera: Oh, Colonel, I'm sorry, but I need your help.
Col. Hathi: Oh, absolutely impossible! We're on a cross-country march!
Bagheera: This is an emergency, Colonel! The Man-Cub must be found!
Col. Hathi: Man-Cub? What Man-Cub?
Shere Khan: [**** his left ear while eavesdropping their private chat from afar] How interesting.
Bagheera: The one who I was taking to the Man Village!
Col. Hathi: Good, that's where he belongs. Now, sir, if you don't mind, we'd like to get on with the march.
Bagheera: No, no, you don't understand, Hathi! He's lost. He ran away.
Shere Khan: How delightful.
Col. Hathi: Well, it serves the whippersnapper right.
Bagheera: But Shere Khan, the Tiger, he's sure to pick up the Man-Cub's trail.
[Shere Khan nods his head, agreeing with Bagheera.]
Col. Hathi: [laughs] Shere Khan? Nonsense, old boy. Shere Khan isn't within miles from here. [Shere Khan shakes his head in disagreement, and chuckles evilly.] Oh, sorry, Bagheera. Fortunes of war and all that sort of thing, you know.
Winifred: [storms towards Hathi, with Hathi Jr. following her] This has gone far enough! Far enough! [to Hathi] Now, wait just a minute, you pompous old windbag!
Col. Hathi: Winifred! What are you doing out of ranks?
Winifred: Never mind! [indicating Hathi Jr.] How would you like to have our boy lost and alone in the jungle?
Col. Hathi: Our son.... alone? But, Winifred, old girl, this is an entirely different matter!
Winifred: Hmph!
Col. Hathi: Different, entirely.
Winifred: That little boy is no different than our own son. Now, you help find him, or I'm taking over command!
Col. Hathi: WHAT?! A female leading my herd?! Utterly preposterous!
Hathi Jr.: Pop, the Man-Cub and I are friends. He'll get hurt if we don't find him. Please, Pop? Sir? Please?
Col. Hathi: [smiles] Now, don't you worry, Son. Your father had a plan in mind all the time.
Winifred: [scoffs; sarcastically] Sure you did.
