5 quotes Asha Asha Last night, I made a wish, on a star. And the star answered.
Asha King Magnifico has the wishes in the castle. He'll never give them back. We have to free the wishes and return them to the people.
Asha The stars are there to guide us, to inspire us, to remind us to believe in possibility.
Asha You don't deserve Star!
Scenes with Asha
4 scenes
The people entrust me with every wish, and I grant those that do not put Rosas at risk.
Asha So some wishes will never come true?
Not some, many.
Asha But everyone deserves it...
I decide what they deserve!
Asha [as Valentino eats some of Star's fairy dust]
Wha-what are you doing? Valentino, don't eat that!
[suddenly speaking]
It didn't work. When does the magic happen? [realizes he can now talk] I'm talking, I am talking! Ha! Who knew my voice would be this low?
That's right, Asha. You've been turned in. Now, where is it? Where's the star?!
Sabino
There's nothing here for you!
How'd you do it? Huh? What sorcery did you use?
Asha I know no sorcery!
You ripped a star from the sky and used it to steal from me!
Asha The wishes don't belong to you! You were never gonna grant my Saba's wish! And he deserves to have it back! They all deserve—
I told you, I decide what they deserve!
Sakina
Please, Your Majesty! She made a mistake. She won't do it again.
Oh, I know she won't. [pulls out a wish orb from his robe] Does THIS feel familiar, Sakina?
Sakina
My wish!
Yes! Your wish that you gave to me for safekeeping. 'Cause we all know what happens to wishes out in this... this real world. They get crushed! [clenches the wish and destroys it in a burst of green smoke. Sakina winces in agony and collapses to the floor]
Asha Mama!
Sabino
SAKINA! NO!
[gazes at the Sickly Green Glow emitting from his palms, with a demonic smirk]
Ooh... What's this? What a gift! All this time, I've protected the wishes not knowing... the power they yield! I feel as if I can do... anything. The star. I must have it.
Asha Let’s go! Now!
GOOD EVENING, ROSAS! Wow, the stars are out tonight. Oh, except for you. You’re trapped now, aren’t you? But you see, what can I say? I really, really don’t like being betrayed.
Queen Amaya
It is you who betrays your people!
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. I’ve had enough of you.
Hal
Your Majesty!
Your little trick didn’t work, Amaya. I still got what I wanted. What’s this? The wishes aren’t yours to free. They are mine! Now, bow down to your king!
Asha Star, get away from there! No!
Dahlia
Asha!
Well, hello, Asha. So glad you could join us. How’s the whole “taking your wish into your own hands” working out for you? Oh, wait. I don’t actually care. Hello, there. Let’s do this!
Asha STAR!!! NO!!!
Yes. Mirrors, Mirrors on the wall, who is the handsomest? ME!
Sabino
No!
I win. Wishes really do come true.
Asha [angrily]
You don't deserve Star!
I told you, I decide! Oh, no, you don’t. There'll be no wishing on stars ever again! In fact, there'll be no more hope, no more dreams, and no escape! [evil laugh]
Villager
Run!
No chance to rise up! No one to tell any tales! No one to challenge me ever again! You... are... NOTHING!

You really need to learn to give up.

♪ 'Cause I know that if you choose to stand beside me ♪ AHHH!

No! No! No! STOP!

My wish.

It's beautiful.
Villager #3
I'm going to make it happen.
Villager #3
I can't wait to get started.
Villager #4
This feeling.
Villager #5
Come home.
Sakina
There you are. Oh, my beautiful wish.
Asha Mama, you got your wish back.
Sakina
My baby!
Sabino
Asha!
Asha I'm so happy for you.
Oh, this guy. What do you have to say for yourself?
Simon
Asha... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I don't expect you to forgive me. I was just so scared I'd have to live without... well... all of me. And I wanted so badly to believe in him.
Asha So did I.
Queen Amaya
We all did.
Gabo
Never trust a handsome face. That’s why I hang out with you guys.
Safi
Aw, you get over here.
[muffled]
Hello? Hello? This is your King. (Amaya gasped) Oh, Amaya, thank goodness! Do you see what they’ve done to me?
Queen Amaya
Hmm. Well, you do love mirrors.
That is not funny. Get me out of here at once.
Queen Amaya
No.
What? After everything I’ve done for you, for Rosas? THIS IS THE THANKS I GET?! [grunts]
Queen Amaya
This is the thanks you deserve. Hang it on the wall... in the dungeon.
Please, no! The dungeon smells really bad!
Asha and Dahlia
[crowd cheering]
Long live the Queen!
Crowd
Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen!
