Dialogue

[First lines]
Cinderella: [narrating] Do you remember the story of a girl who lived a life of cinders, and how she found true love because she kept a beautiful dream in her heart? Of course it helped that she had mouse friends who could sew and a Fairy Godmother who could do wonders with pumpkins. Well, that girl is me.
Prince Charming: Would my perfectly, perfect wife put her on perfectly fitting shoes?
Cinderella: You found my shoes.
Prince Charming: [playing keep away with the shoes] Better hurry. Fairy Godmother's waiting.
Cinderella: What were the mice using them for this time?
Prince Charming: [turns shoe upside down and water pours out] Boats. There.
Lady Tremaine: Anastasia where you been?
Drizella: Slacking off again.
Anastasia: Mother, our troubles are over! [holds up a magic wand]
Lady Tremaine: A stick?
Drizella: Ooh, let's beat her with it.
Anastasia: [after accidentally turning the Fairy Godmother into stone] Uh, oh! Hello, hello, grandma? [finally realizing the Fairy Godmother was saying] Oh! Oh, What have I done to you grandma, I'm, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you. Look, before i hand you your wand, i restore you it's promise!
Lady Tremaine: [takes the wand from Anastasia] So this is how Cinderella did it. What delicious irony. Do you realize what this means, ladies?
Drizella: YES! No more laundry!
Lady Tremaine: Ugh! It means power, riches, revenge!
Drizella and Anastasia: Ohh!
Lady Tremaine: Now, Cinderella, to undo your trickery and take what's rightfully ours. I call upon all the forces of the universe. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Reverse the moon and sun, turn back tide and time, unravel Cinderella's happily ever after to the moment my troubles began!
Anastasia: [while prancing around the room, laughing excitedly] Ah! It fits! Oh, Mother! Mother, it fits!
Drizella: [bitterly] Gee, I wonder if it fits...
Prudence: Stop! You there. Who are you? What are you doing here?
Cinderella: I, uh...
Prudence: I'm in charge of all the servants in this castle, and I've never seen you before. What is your purpose?
Cinderella: My purpose? Well, um, I... I... [She sees Jaq and Gus run to a corner] I'm the royal mouse catcher.
[The mice skid to a halt]
Prudence: Royal mouse catcher? Preposterous.
Cinderella: Snap 'em and trap 'em, that's my motto.
Gus: [jumping into Jaq's arms] Oh, no!
[Cinderella motions "no" at the mice and smiles nervously at Prudence. The mice relax. Cinderella then motions "go"]
Prudence: In the thirty years that I have supervised... [She hears something behind her and looks over her shoulder suspiciously] ... This castle, I can assure you there's never, ever been a single, solitary...
Palace Cook: Mouse!
The King: You think there's only one woman in the whole kingdom who wears a size four-and-a-half?
Prince Charming: It's all I have to go on here.
Prince Charming: There seems to be... a little mix-up here.
Lady Tremaine: I assure you, Your Highness, the slipper fits my daughter's foot
Anastasia: [Anastasia shows her foot to Drizella] See? See?
Drizella: Huh. How could he miss it?
Prince Charming: Well, once you've dance with someone like Anastasia, you don't want to waste any time.
Cinderella: Did you say Anastasia?
Prince Charming: Yes.
Cinderella: But... it was me.
Jaq: We found Princey!
Cinderella: I did, too, but he doesn't even know who I am. [turns to walk away]
Jaq and Gus: No! No, no, no!
Gus: It's a-magic!
Cinderella: What? What are you talking about? [The mice babble incoherently, then Jaq fashions his appearance to look like Lady Tremaine] Stepmother? [Gus throws a piece of blue cloth around him to look like the Fairy Godmother] Fairy Godmother?
Gus: [holding a splinter as a makeshift wand] Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!
Jaq: [snatching the splinter] Ha-ha!
Cinderella: She stole it?
Jaq: [while Gus imitates crying] I show Princey! [Gus misses his cue] Princey! Princey!
Gus: [rushes off and comes back dressed like the prince] My Cinderelly awaits.
Jaq: Princey, you will marry Anastasia!
Gus: [hypnotized] Anastasia...
Jaq: Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! [there's a cartoony "boing!" sound and Gus imitates hypnosis. Cinderella realizes everything]
Cinderella: She made him forget who I am. [the mice nod sadly] Magic! That explains it! [with renewed confidence, she looks at the mice] Boys, we have to get that wand!
[The King and Prince come into the room and witness a food fight. The giant wedding cake topples on Anastasia]
The King: [aside to Prince Charming] Are we in the right room?
Lady Tremaine: [deflecting blame on The Grand Duke] You! How could you let this happen?
[Panicked, The Grand Duke looks around]
The Grand Duke: [trying to clean up the cake] Don't mind this. I shall have it cleaned up in no time.
The King: See that you do. I want this wedding to go off without a hitch. And if it doesn't...
[He runs a finger across his throat]
The Grand Duke: [getting on his knees and begging] Oh, no! Please, sire! I can explain. I, well, you see...
Prince Charming: Father, allow me to introduce my bride-to-be, Anastasia.
[He leads Anastasia, who still has cake on her head, to The King]
Prince Charming: Anastasia, this is my dad.
Anastasia: [bowing] It is an honor, Your Majesty.
The King: [holding out his hand] Charmed, I'm sure.
[A piece of cake falls into the king's hand. The king wipes it on The Grand Duke's shoulder]
Prince Charming: [after a short, awkward silence] So, uh, who's up for a dance?
Drizella: Well, no grace, no poise. Other than that, it was lovely.
Anastasia: He was nice to me.
Drizella: That's because he's under a spell. He'd have to be, to fall for you.
Anastasia: It's more than that.
The King: Ladies!
Lady Tremaine: [bowing with Anastasia and Drizella] Your Majesty!
The King: I need to speak with my future daughter-in-law immediately. [The Tremaines walk together simultaneously] Alone!
[Lady Tremaine and Drizella look at Anastasia, who goes to talk to The King]
Drizella: Let's make a run for it while we can.
Lady Tremaine: Keep out of the maid's way, girls. There's a lot to do before the wedding.
[Gus gives Jaq the key up on the dresser and wipes his face, only to accidentally drop both the key and Jaq]
Gus: Hmm?
[Gus notices Jaq struggling to open the dresser drawer with the key]
Lady Tremaine: [Cinderella notices Lady Tremaine's reflection in the bucket water] Isn't that right, [pulls Cinderella's bonnet off] Cinderella?
[Cinderella gasps as Lady Tremaine glares at her]
Anastasia: [gasps] I didn't know you worked here.
[Jaq and Gus lift the wand out of the dresser drawer]
Lady Tremaine: You're far more persistent than I thought.
Cinderella: [stands up] I am not going to let you get away with this.
Lady Tremaine: We already have.
Cinderella: [smirks] I don't think so. [to Jaq and Gus] Jaq, Gus! [she, Jaq and Gus run towards the door]
Lady Tremaine: The wand!
Prince Charming: What's going on here?
Prince Charming: Ok. First birds, now mice.
Prince Charming: Wait, wait, wait! I think I understand. Actually, I got nothing.
Prince Charming: So you say I'm under a magic spell.
Jaq: And here's the worse part. [singing] When Cinderelly tried her best to take a stand.
Gus: [singing] Take a stand.
Jaq: [singing] Mean old lady had her banished from the land.
The King: I forbid you to take another step down these stairs!
[Prince Charming glances briefly at the window]
Prince Charming: Okay.
[He speeds to the window and jumps out of it]
The King: Son! Come back! We'll find you a doctor! We'll have you leeched!
The King: Son! I trust you. It's the talking mice I'm worried about.
Prince Charming: It'll be fine. Don't look up.
Cinderella: [moments before she is about to be banished] [singing] I've always dreamed. That my life could be like a fairy tale, a perfect fantasy. But it was nothing more than a dream.
Prince Charming: [kneels to Cinderella, holding her hand] Will you marry me, Cinderelly?
Cinderella: Yes. But, [giggles] actually, it's Cinderella.
Prince Charming: [chuckles] Cinderella. [lifts Cinderella up off her feet and twirls her around, Cinderella giggles]
Lady Tremaine: It's not over yet.
Drizella: What?
Lady Tremaine: He thinks he can ruin my plans. I think not.
Anastasia: Who?
Lady Tremaine: The prince. He's gone after Cinderella.
Anastasia: But I thought he loved me.
Drizella: [gasps] MOTHER.
[The Tremaines look out window and see Prince Charming returning with Cinderella on horseback. The King hugs Cinderella]
The King: [offscreen] Guards! Guards!
[The King angrily motions the guards to come and arrest The Tremaines, angrily pointing at them as he, The Grand Duke, Cinderella, and Prince Charming turn to see them. Lady Tremaine, realizing that they're in trouble, gasps, quickly closing the curtains]
Anastasia: Oh, it's no use. The magic didn't work. It wasn't as powerful as their...
Lady Tremaine: You do want the Prince to love you, don't you?
Guard: [offscreen] Open up!
Anastasia: Well, yes. Yes, of course I do. More than anything.
Lady Tremaine: Then do exactly as I say.
[Lady Tremaine holds the wand up, and they all disappear]
Guard: [offscreen] Open up! Open up in the name of the King! [Suddenly, the guards burst in through the doors, only to see The Tremaines gone. They look around, confused] Huh? Hmm.
The King: [as Cinderella and Prince Charming put a compress on his forehead] Using magic on my son. The nerve.
[The Grand Duke enters the room]
The Grand Duke: Your Majesty, we've gone over every inch of the castle. It appears they have fled.
[The King opens his eyes]
The King: [angrily standing up as the compress falls onto The Grand Duke's eyes] THEN SEARCH MY ENTIRE KINGDOM! I WANT THEM FOUND AND ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY!!! [groans as Cinderella and Prince Charming lay him back down on the couch] Keep in mind. I'm an old man, and my heart can only take so much. Please, please, please, tell me that this is the girl you intend to marry.
Prince Charming: All the stars are shining brighter,

Dad. Just like you said.

The King: [happily jumping off the couch] Then what are we waiting for?! [dancing with The Grand Duke as Jaq and Gus mimic their dancing] Fetch the florist! Bake an even bigger cake. The wedding is on tonight!
[Cinderella is in her room, wearing her wedding dress. Jaq and Gus are directing the blue birds, who are moving her veil]
Gus: Duh, no. This a way?
Jaq: Uh, uh, uh.
Gus: No, no, no, no... thatta way.
Jaq: Yeah, yeah, yeah! Yes.
Cinderella: Thank you.
Lady Tremaine: [offscreen] How lovely you look, my dear.
Cinderella: Stepmother?
[Cinderella looks around. So do Jaq and Gus and the blue birds]
Gus: Duh.
[Suddenly, Lady Tremaine appears. Jaq and Gus and the blue birds hide as Lady Tremaine enters the room, carrying and petting Lucifer. Lucifer hops down and up onto the bed]
Lady Tremaine: It appears you were right, Cinderella. The Prince does want to marry you. And marry you he shall. Anastasia. Anastasia! [Suddenly, Anastasia enters the room, transformed into Cinderella. Cinderella gasps] Or should I say... "Cinderella."
Cinderella: [to Anastasia, suddenly realizing that she is responsible for this] What have you done? [to Lady Tremaine] The Prince won't be fooled.
Lady Tremaine: The Prince will never know. He'll be perfectly happy.
Cinderella: But will you, Anastasia? Will you be happy?
Anastasia: I... I want what you had.
Cinderella: But do you even love him?
Anastasia: I...
Lady Tremaine: [pushing Anastasia aside] Love! Look where it's gotten you. [she shoots magic with the wand at Cinderella, making her disappear]
[Suddenly, Jaq and Gus jump down from the mirror and disappear as well]
Jaq: Cinderelly!
Gus: No!
[Cut to a pumpkin patch. A horse is grazing. Suddenly, a pumpkin grows big. The horse trots away. Suddenly, all three of them appear in the pumpkin, which Lady Tremaine turns into a thorn vine-covered carriage]
Jaq: Cinderelly!
Gus: What's happened, Cinderelly?
[Suddenly, a window appears, covered by thorn vines. Suddenly, the thorn vine-covered carriage captures a nearby horse, pulling him back. Cinderella gasps]
Lady Tremaine: Lucifer, make absolutely certain they don't come back... [Lucifer grins and smiles evilly] ...alive.
Cinderella: [facing a human version of Lucifer] Bad kitty!
Jaq: [hearing wedding bells] Now, what are we gonna do?
Cinderella: Well, I'm not gonna miss my own wedding.
Anastasia: [as Cinderella approaches, Anastasia prepares to complete the vow] I... [long pause] ...don't.
Cinderella: [amazed at Anastasia refusing to marry the Prince] Anastasia?
Anastasia: [seeing the real Cinderella, Anastasia and the Prince pull their hands away from each other] Cinderella.
[The Priest, seeing "two Cinderellas", faints]
Lady Tremaine: [she and Drizella emerge from their hiding place] You spoiled little ingrate! I've given you everything you've ever wanted, Anastasia!
Anastasia: But I want someone to love me for me!
The King: [enraged] Guards! Guards! Seize that woman!
Lady Tremaine: [pointing the wand at Anastasia] And now for you.
Drizella: Oh, turn her into a toad, mother!
Cinderella: [steps in to protect Anastasia] Stop! No more!
Lady Tremaine: Oh! Even better.
Prince Charming: Cinderella!
Lady Tremaine: [shooting magic with the wand at both Cinderella and Anastasia] Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!
Prince Charming: NO! [deflects the magic with his sword, transporting Lady Tremaine and Drizella to the palace dungeon and transforming them into toads]
Anastasia: [brings Cinderella and the Prince back together] This is the real Cinderella, your one true love.
Prince Charming: It's you.
Anastasia: [heads down the stairs and picks up the wand, as everyone looks on, visibly concerned] Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo. [places the wand on her chest and transforms back to her normal self]
The King: I can't take much more of this.
Cinderella: [amazed at Anastasia turning back to her normal self, she heads down the steps to thank her for turning down the Prince] Anastasia... [Anastasia gives her the wand, and they hug. Their animosity is now at an end] Thank you. [points the wand to bring back the Fairy Godmother] Bibbidi-Bobbidi...
Anastasia: ...Boo.
Anastasia: [returning The King's seashell] Your Majesty, I don't deserve this.
[The King looks at her. Anastasia looks guilty]
The King: Everyone deserves true love.
[Anastasia, realizing she has been forgiven, hugs The King]
The King: Well, does anyone wanna marry my son?
[Cinderella and Prince Charming look at eachother]
Cinderella: I do.
Priest: I now pronounce you husband and wife. [faints again]
[Last lines]
Cinderella: [narrating] And they lived happily ever after...again.
