Aurora

Oh, dear. Why do they still treat me like a child?

Owl

Who?

Aurora

Aunt Flora and Fauna and Merryweather. They never want me to meet anyone. But you know something? I fooled them. I have met someone.

Owl

Who? Who? Who?

Aurora

Oh, a prince. [birds twitter] Well, he's tall and handsome and-- and so romantic. [birds twitter] Oh, we walk together and talk together. And just before we say goodbye he takes me in his arms... and then... I wake up. [birds sigh] Yes, it's only in my dreams. But, they say, if you dream a thing more than once it's sure to come true... and I've seen him so many times.

Philip
[Philip and Rose meet for the first time.]

I'm awfully sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you.

Aurora

But that's impossible! How could've I marry a prince? I have to be--

A princess.

And you are, dear.

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.

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)

And we thought she'd be so happy.
