Most scenes together: Cinderella & Lady Tremaine (6), Lady Tremaine & Ella (3), Cinderella & Prince Charming (2)
I want to tell you a secret that will see you through all the trials that life can offer. Have courage, and be kind. Ella, you have more kindness in your little finger than most people possess in their whole body... Where there is kindness, there is goodness. And where there is goodness, there is magic.
Goose Coachman I can't drive, I'm a goose.
it was my mother's, it's cute don't you think? and I adjusted it myself
Hi, I don't even feel it the dance Who wants a maid like wife after all i've done. I don't want to ruin anything for you, I don't want to see to the prince at least and you will not do it because there is no doubt that you will not go.
But... All the ladies in the land are invited. By order of the king.
It is "the king" I'm thinking of. It would be an insult to the royal personage to take you to the palace dressed in these old rags.
Rags? This was my mother's.
Oh... Sorry to have to tell you, but your mother's taste was questionable. This "thing" is so old-fashioned, it's practically falling to pieces. [She tugs harshly at the sleeve of Ella's dress, then rips it]
They're all looking at you.
Believe me, they're all looking at you.
Are you looking for this? There must be quite a story to go with it won't you tell me. No? All right then I shall tell you a story. Once upon a time there was a beautiful young girl who married for love and she had two loving daughters all was well but one day her husband the light of her life died the next time she married for the sake of her daughters but that man too was taken from her and she was doomed to look every day upon his beloved child she had hoped to marry off one of her beautiful stupid daughters to the prince but his head was turned turned by a girl with glass slippers and so I lived Unhappily Ever After my story would appear to be ended now tell me yours
It was given to me.
It to you given to you nothing is ever given for everything you must pay and pay
That’s kindness is free love.
Free love is not free.
Now, here is how you will pay me, if you were to have what you desire. No one will believe you, a dirty servant girl without a family, if you lay claim to the Prince's heart. But with a respectable gentlewoman to put you forward, you will not be ignored. When you are married, you will make me the head of the royal household. Anastasia and Drizella we will pair off with wealthy lords, and I shall manage that boy.
But he's not a boy.
And who are you? How would you rule a kingdom? Best to leave it to me. That way we all get what we want.
No.
No?
I was not able to protect my father from you, but I will protect the prince and the kingdom... no matter what becomes of me.
Well, that is a mistake. [shatters Cinderella's glass slipper using a wall]
NO! Why... Why are you so cruel? I don't understand it... I've tried to be kind to you-
Yes! And though no one deserves to be treated as you have treated me! Why do you do it? WHY?!
Why? Because you are young, and innocent, and... [struggles] good! And I-! [breaks off suddenly, then storms out of the room, locking the door]
no more tears.
Yes, stepmother.
You needn't call me that. Call me Madam. For all your clothes then more have little Anastasia and Drizella always affectionate shared room they are so affectionate and I would like not to Sometimes I would like to leave you without a nose.
I think their bedroom is more biggest that's it after my father. Now than they get used to it. Mine is the biggest. Share it if you want.
What a wonderful idea you are such a girl gentle.
I will stay then entic elastic?
yes.
Ah it will be temporary?
Of course, in the finish redecorating the entire house elastic is fresh and big and you can sleep better away from the annoying noise. We will make it more welcoming if you take it all these old objects up.
Miss, you're requested and required to present yourself to your King.
I forbid you to do this!
And I forbid you to forbid her. Who are you to stop an officer of the King? Are you an empress? A saint? A deity?
I am her mother!
You have never been, and you never will be, my mother.
Your Majesty, I'm no princess. I have no carriage, no parents, no dowry. I do not even know if that beautiful slipper will fit But, if it does Will you take me as I am? A good honest country girl who loves you.
Of course I would. But only if you'll take me as I am, an apprentice still learning his trade. Please...
Drizella Cinderella!
Anastasia Ella!
Drizella My dear sister! I'm sorry.
Anastasia So very sorry! [they curtsy at and Ella and Kit]

Oh... Sorry to have to tell you, but your mother's taste was questionable. This "thing" is so old-fashioned, it's practically falling to pieces. [She tugs harshly at the sleeve of Ella's dress causing it to rip completely]
Fairy godmother?
Yes, what?
My dress. I can't go in this dress. Can you mend it?
Mend it? No-no, I'll turn it into something new.
Oh no, please don't. This was my mother's, and... and I'd like to wear it when I go to the palace. It's almost like - taking her with me.
I understand. But I don't think she'd mind if I - gee it up a bit? Wouldn't mind a nice blue?
There.
It's beautiful! She'd love it.
Mr. Lizard, I'm scared. I'm only a girl, not a princess.
Lizard Footman And I'm only a lizard, not a footman. Enjoy it while it lasts.
They're all looking at you.
Believe me, they're all looking at you.
Yes, stepmother.
You needn't call me that. Madam will do.
Drizella Cinder Wench!
Anastasia Dirty Ella! [chuckles briefly]
Drizella Cinderella! That's what we'll call you!
Do you still believe that they understand you?
Don't they, Mother?
Oh yes. I believe that animals listen and speak to us if we only have the ear for it. That's how we learn to look after them.
Who looks after us?
Fairy Godmothers, of course...
And do you believe in them?
I believe in everything...
Then I believe in everything, too!
