Narrator So you see, the story is not quite as you were told, and I should know, for I was the one they called "Sleeping Beauty". In the end, my kingdom was united not by a hero or a villain, as legend had predicted, but by one who was both hero *and* villain. And her name was Maleficent.
I know you're there. Don't be afraid.
I'm not afraid.
Then come out.
Then you'll be afraid.
Captain The wall cannot be burned. It is indestructible!
NOTHING IS INDESTRUCTIBLE!!! NOT THE WALL, NOT MALEFICENT, NOT EVEN HER CURSE!!
Well, well. [laughs quietly] What a glittering assemblage, King Stefan. Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and... [laughs maliciously] How quaint, even the rabble. [she stares at a nervous King Stefan] I must say, I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation.
You're not welcome here.
Oh. [laughs] Oh dear! What an awkward situation. [turns as if about to leave]
Leila You're not offended?
Why, no. And to show I bear no ill will, I, too, shall bestow a gift on the child.
No! We don't want your gift!
Knotgrass Stay away from the princess!
Thistletwit Yes, stay away!
Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who meet her.
Leila That's a lovely gift.
But... before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel, AND FALL INTO A SLEEP LIKE DEATH! A SLEEP FROM WHICH SHE WILL NEVER AWAKEN!
Maleficent, please don't do this, I'm begging you.
I like you begging. Do it again. [she motions for Stefan to kneel]
I beg you.
All right. The princess can be woken from her death sleep, but only by... [she glares at Stefan] ...True Love's Kiss. [short pause] This curse will last till the end of time! No power on Earth can change it!
Narrator Let us tell an old story anew, and we will see how well you know it. Once upon a time, there were two kingdoms that were the worst of neighbors. So vast was the discord between them that it was said only a great hero or a terrible villain might bring them together. In one kingdom lived folk like you and me, with a vain and greedy king to rule over them. They were forever discontent, and envious of the wealth and beauty of their neighbors. For in the other kingdom, the Moors, lived every manner of strange and wonderful creature. And they needed neither king nor queen, but trusted in one another. In a great tree on a great cliff in the Moors lived one such spirit. You might take her for a girl, but she was not just any girl. She was a fairy. And her name was Maleficent.
I will not ask your forgiveness because what I have done to you is unforgivable. I was so lost in hatred and revenge. Sweet Aurora, you stole what was left of my heart. And now I have lost you forever. I swear, no harm will come to you as long as I live. And not a day shall pass that I don't miss your smile.
: You've been very good to me... well, except that time you fed me spiders.
I revoke my curse, let it be no more. I revoke my curse, let it be no more. I revoke my curse, let it be no more! I REVOKE MY CURSE, LET IT BE NO MORE! LET IT BE NO MORE!!!
As soon as I grow up I'll come and live with you on the moor.
He did this... to me so he would be king.
When the curse fails, Maleficent will come for me... and on that day, I will be ready.
