Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs quotes

Don't touch it, you fools!  Might be poison.~ Grumpy on the food   cooking in their kitchen

[the dwarves inspect their newly cleaned kitchen]

Our windows been washed.

Gosh. Our cobwebs is missing.

Doc

Why, the whole place is clean.

Grumpy

There's dirty work afoot.

Sneezy

Sink's empty. Hey! Someone stole our dishes!

They ain't stole. They're hid in the cupboard.

My cup's been washed. Sugar's gone!

[sees a pot cooking over the fireplace]

Something's cookin'. [sniffs] Smells good!

Grumpy
[he and Dopey walk towards it; Grumpy jumps in front of them] [jumps in front of them]

Don't touch it, you fools! Might be poison!

Grumpy
[the pot hisses; the three dwarves jump back]

See? It's witch's brew.

He was so romantic.  I could not resist.~ Snow White on the Prince

[tells the dwarfs a story]

Once there was a princess.

Doc

Was the princess you?

And she fell in love.

Sneezy

Was it hard to do?

Oh, it was very easy. Anyone could see that the prince was charming. The only one for me.

Doc

Was he, um, strong and handsome?

Sneezy

And was he big and tall?

There's nobody like him anywhere at all.

Did he say he loved ya?

Did he steal a kiss?

[sings]

He was so romantic. I could not resist.

Humbert the Huntsman

I can’t… I can’t do it! Forgive me. I beg of your highness, forgive me.

I don’t understand?

Humbert the Huntsman

She’s mad! Jealous of you? She’ll stop at nothing!

But… But who?

Humbert the Huntsman

The Queen?

The Queen?

Humbert the Huntsman

Now, quick child! Run! Run away, hide! In the woods, anywhere? Never come back! Now, go! Go! Go! Run! Run! Hide! Anywhere!

[After the Silly Song]

That was fun!

Now you do something.

Well, what shall I do?

Sleepy

Tell us a story.

Yes, tell us a story.

A true story.

A love story.

[tells the dwarfs a story]

Well, once there was a princess.

Doc

Was the princess you?

And she fell in love.

Sneezy

Was it hard to do?

Oh, it was very easy. Anyone could see that the prince was charming. The only one for me.

Doc

Was he strong and handsome?

Sneezy

And was he big and tall?

There's nobody like him anywhere at all.

Did he say he loved ya?

Did he steal a kiss?

[singing]

He was so romantic I could not resist. Some day my prince will come, some day we'll meet again. And away to his castle we'll go to be happy forever, I know.

Grumpy

Hah! Mush!

[singing]

Some day when spring is here, we'll find our love anew. And the birds will sing and wedding bells will ring. Some day when my dreams come true. [The Dwarfs sigh]

The Old Hag

Dip the apple in the brew. Let the sleeping death seep through. Look. On the skin. The symbol of what a lies within. Now turn red to tempth Snow White to make her hunger for a bite. Have a bite. It’s not for you. It’s for Snow White. When she breaks the tender peel to taste the apple in my hand. Her breath will still, her blood congeal, then I’ll be fairest in the land! Ha-ha-ha! But wait… there maybe the antidote. Nothing must be overlooked. Oh, here it is. “The Victim of the Sleeping Death can be revived only by Love’s First Kiss.” Love’s First Kiss! Bah! No fear of that. The Dwarfs will think she’s dead. She’ll be buried alive! Ha-ha-ha! Buried alive! Ha-ha-ha! Thirsty? Have a drink! Ha-ha-ha!

The Old Hag

Don't let the wish grow cold.

[bites into the poisoned apple, which causes her to begin falling under a sleeping spell as the Old Hag looks on deviously]

Oh, I feel strange...

The Old Hag
[quietly]

Her breath will still.

[gasps]

Oh...

The Old Hag

Her blood congeal.

Oh... [gasps one more time, then collapses to the floor, dropping the bitten poisoned apple in the process]

The Old Hag
[cackles evilly]

NOW I'LL BE FAIREST IN THE LAND! [cackles evilly]

Hurry, hurry!

Grumpy

There she goes! After her!

The Old Hag
[last words; gasping]

I'm trapped. What will I do? The meddling little fools. I'll fix ya. I'll fix ya. I'll fix ya! I'LL CRUSH YOUR BONES!

Grumpy
[alarmed]

LOOK OUT!

Magic Mirror on the wall, who now is the fairest one of all?

Magic Mirror

Over the seven jewelled hills, beyond the seventh fall, in the cottage of the seven dwarfs, dwells Snow White, fairest one of all.

Snow White lies dead in the forest.  The huntsman has brought me proof. [holds up her opened box] Behold, her heart.

Magic Mirror

Snow White still lives, the fairest in the land. 'Tis the heart of a pig you hold in your hand.

[repulsed]

The heart of a pig?! Then I've been tricked!

Slave in the magic mirror, come from the farthest space, through wind and darkness I summon thee. Speak! Let me see thy face.

Magic Mirror
[the face in the Magic Mirror appears before the queen]

What wouldst thou know, my Queen?

Magic Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of all?

Magic Mirror

Famed is thy beauty, Majesty. But hold, a lovely maid I see. Rags cannot hide her gentle grace. Alas, she is more fair than thee.

Alas for her. Reveal her name.

Magic Mirror

Lips red as the rose. Hair black as ebony. Skin white as snow.

Snow White!

Take her far into the forest. Find some secluded glade where she can pick wildflowers.

Huntsman

Yes, Your Majesty.

And there, my faithful huntsman, you will kill her!

Huntsman

But, Your Majesty, the little princess!

Silence! You know the penalty if you fail.

Huntsman

Yes, your Majesty.

But to make doubly sure you do not fail,... [holds up an empty box] ...bring back her heart in this.

[disguised as a witch]

When she breaks the tender peel, to taste the apple in my hand, her breath will still, her blood congeal. Then I'll be fairest in the land! [cackles, then pauses] But wait! There may be an antidote. Nothing must be overlooked. [looks through her book] Ah! Here it is! [reads the antidote aloud] "The victim of the Sleeping Death can be revived only by Love's First Kiss." [to herself] "Love's First Kiss…" [slams book shut] Bah! No fear of that. The dwarfs will think she's dead. She'll be buried alive!

[to a baby bird]

Hello there. What's the matter? Where's your mama and papa? Why, I believe you're lost. Oh, please don't cry. Come on, perk up. Won't you smile for me? [laughs] That's better. Your mama and papa can't be far. There they are! Can you fly? Good-bye. Good-bye!

Now, a formula to transform my beauty into ugliness, change my queenly raiment to a peddler's cloak. [finds the 'Peddler's Disguise Formula' in her book] "Mummy dust to make me old. To shroud my clothes, the black of night. To age my voice, an old hag's cackle. To whiten my hair, a scream of fright. A blast of wind, to fan my hate! A thunderbolt, to mix it well. Now, begin thy magic spell.

Oh, what adorable little beds!  And look, they have their names carved on them.  "Doc", "Happy", "Sneezy", "Dopey"—[laughs]  What funny names for children!  …"Grumpy", "Bashful", and "Sleepy".  I'm a little sleepy myself.  [yawns, lies across three of the beds]
