Fauna
[A storm blows up and a gust of wind blows open the castle doors. Maleficent magically appears from the green flames]
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.
Q 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!
Q Queen
[grabs Aurora]
Oh, no!
S Stefan
[Maleficent maniacally chuckles]
Seize that creature!
Maleficent
Stand back, you fools! [disappears in green flames while manically cackling when her crow flies away into the distance]
N Narrator
But King Stefan, still fearful of his daughter's life, did then and there decree that every spinning wheel in the kingdom should on that very day be burned, and so 'twas done.
Flora
Oh, silly fiddle-faddle!
Fauna
Now, come have a nice cup of tea, dear. I'm sure it'll turn out somehow.
Merryweather
Well, a bonfire won't stop Maleficent.
Flora
Of course not, but what will?
Fauna
Well, perhaps if we will reason with her.
Flora
Reason?
Merryweather
With Maleficent?
Fauna
Well, she can't be all bad.
Flora
Oh, yes she can!
Merryweather
Ooh, I'd like to turn her into a fat old hoptoad!
Fauna
Now, dear, that isn't a very nice thing to say.
Flora
Besides, we can't. You know our magic doesn't work that way.
Fauna
It can only do good, dear, to bring joy and happiness.
Merryweather
Well, that would make me happy.
Fauna
[Aurora's singing after meeting Prince Phillip]
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!
Merryweather
(She runs to her room crying)
And we thought she'd be so happy.
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
[Flora, Fauna and Merryweather fly in]
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.
About Sleeping Beauty (1959 film)[edit]
Flora
[The fairies led Aurora up to her new bed chambers after secretly returning to the castle]
Come along, now. [they side-step against a castle wall and come to a private room at last] All right, in here, dear. [Merryweather closes the door and sighs] Bolt the door, Merryweather. Fauna, pull the drapes. [Merryweather and Fauna do so as told] And now, dear, if you'll just sit here. This one last gift, dear child for thee, [she, Fauna, and Merryweather magically conjure up a crown] the symbol of thy royalty. [as she ceremoniously places the crown on Aurora's head] A crown to wear in grace and beauty; as is thy right, and royal duty.
Fauna
[Aurora puts her head in her arms and weeps] [comfortingly]
Now, dear...
Flora
Come. Let her have a few moments alone.
Merryweather
[They went into another room]
It's that boy she met.
Fauna
Whatever are we going to do?
Merryweather
[Back in the room, the fire goes out and a hovering green flame appears; Aurora rises, entranced, and begins walking toward it to eerie music] [irked]
Ooh, I don't see why she has to marry any old prince!
Fauna
Now, that's not for us to decide, dear.
Fauna
[Aurora continues to follow the flame; a doorway appears in the fireplace] [to Flora]
Maybe we should tell King Stefan about the boy.
Merryweather
Well, why don't we?
Flora
[listening at the door]
Listen! [gasps] Maleficent! Rose! [they rush in] Rose!
Fauna
[They gasp, seeing Aurora step through the doorway in the fireplace]
Oh, why did we leave her alone? Rose!
Flora
[they rush towards the doorway; it vanishes]
Rose!
TG Three Good Fairies
[Aurora came climbing up the stairs and she kept on walking as the orb came flashing through every passage in the secret passageway.]
ROSE!
Fauna
[Aurora kept walking up the stairs when she approached an open doorway where the orb stops and transforms into a spindle as Aurora opens her finger out to touch the spindle.]
Rose!
Flora
Rose!
Merryweather
[echoing]
Don't touch anything!
Maleficent
[Aurora pauses as she can hear Merryweather's voice from outside the doorway]
Touch the spindle. Touch it I say!
Maleficent
[Aurora pricks her finger on the spindle thus fallen into a sleep like death as the fairies arrived and gasped as Maleficent stood before them.]
You poor simple fools. Thinking you could defeat me! Me! The Mistress of All Evil! Well, here's your precious princess!
Merryweather
[Pulls her robe to reveal an unconscious Rose lying on the floor and the fairies realized that Maleficent's curse is now completed. She cackles as she vanishes from beyond the green flames.]
Rose!
Fauna
Oh, Rose!
Flora
Oh, I'll never forgive myself!
Fauna
We're all to blame.
[In that moment, the sun starts to hide on the west.]
Fauna
Poor King Stefan and the Queen...
Merryweather
They'll be heartbroken when they find out.
Flora
[having an idea]
They're not going to.
Merryweather
They aren't?
Flora
We'll put them all to sleep, until Rose awakens. [closes the curtains] Come.
C The Chorus
[They shrink into small sizes and fly around the castle, putting everyone to sleep, including the knights, servants, nobles, townspeople, lords, ladies, and peasants] [singing]
Sleeping Beauty fair,
Gold of sunshine in your hair
Lips that shame the red, red rose
Dreaming of true love in slumber repose
One day he will come
Riding over the dawn
When you awaken to love's first kiss
Till then, Sleeping Beauty, sleep on
One day you'll awaken to love's first kiss
Till then, Sleeping Beauty, sleep on...
KH King Hubert
[In the dining room, while Merryweather is putting the townspeople and other people to sleep, she spots Sir Minstrel awakening and puts him back to sleep, yawing as he lay on the floor under the table again. Meanwhile, in the throne room, Flora has put the sleeping spell on King Stefan, Queen Leah, and King Hubert] [while drifting off to sleep]
Well, just been talking to Phillip. Seems he's fallen in love with some peasant girl.
Flora
[stops herself]
Peasant girl? Yes, yes? The peasant girl, who is she?! Where did he meet her?!
KH King Hubert
Just some peasant girl he met.
Flora
Where, where?!
KH King Hubert
Once Upon a Dream. [finally falls asleep]
Flora
[gets the connection]
Rose! Prince Phillip! Oh! Oh! [flies to Merryweather and Fauna] Come on! We've got to get back to the cottage!
Maleficent
[That evening, Prince Phillip is seen riding on his horse, Samson heading to the cottage as he whistled to Once Upon A Dream. They arrived a few minutes later as Phillip hopped off Samson and rushes to the door with his hands clasped around him showing Samson some three cheer luck. Samson with a smile on his face nodded his head thinking his master is a winner. Then, Phillip knocks on the door.]
Come in.
[Phillip enters inside the house and see that the cottage was dark when the door slammed shut by itself and he was ambushed by Maleficent's goons. Maleficent watched in delight with a look of an evil glee on her face as Phillip struggled to be set free. Diablo cawed in delight as well when the goons finally tied and gagged Phillip. Maleficent smiled as she grabs a candle and lights up to see Phillip being tied up after being thrown into the wolves.]
Maleficent
Well, this is a pleasant surprise. I sent my trap for a peasant and BLOW! I catch a prince! [cackles] [to her goons] Away with him! But gently my pets. Gently! I have plans for our royal guest.
FF Flora, Fauna and Merryweather
[Meanwhile, the 3 good fairies are in a race against the clock to try and get to the cottage by traveling through the woods and through the lake. They arrived and shrink back to their larger size where they were too late. Phillip was gone and they see his cap lying on the floor.]
MALEFICENT!
Merryweather
And she's got Prince Phillip!
Flora
[Flora then remembered the once place where Maleficent had taken Phillip]
At The Forbidden Mountain.
Fauna
But we can't.... We can't go there!
Flora
We can and we must!
