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.
Stefan 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.
Stefan 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.
Stefan Don't do this.
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!
Stefan Maleficent, please don't do this, I'm begging you.
I like you begging. Do it again. [she motions for Stefan to kneel]
Stefan 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!
