Sleeping Beauty Quotes

Maleficent: Oh come now Prince Phillip. Why so melancholy? A wondrous future lies before you - you, the destined hero of a charming fairy tale come true. 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 self-same 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, a valiant figure, straight and tall! To wake his love, with love's

first kiss. And prove that "true love" conquers all!
[she laughs]

Merryweather: I'd like to turn her into a fat ol' - hop toad.
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.

dragon which looms before Phillip; he charges]

[first lines]
Narrator: In a faraway land, long ago, there lived a King and his fair Queen. Many years they had longed for a child, and finally their wish was granted. A daughter was born, and they called her Aurora. Yes, they named her after the dawn, for she filled their lives with sunshine. Then a great holiday was proclaimed throughout the land, so that all of high or

low estate could pay homage to the infant Princess. And our story begins on that most joyful day...

Maleficent: Listen well, all of you.
[clangs her scepter against the floor]
Maleficent: The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. *But*... before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger - on the spindle of a spinning wheel - and DIE!
Queen: [clutching the baby Aurora] Oh no!

[Maleficent laughs]
King Stefan: Seize that creature!
Maleficent: Stand back, you fools!
[laughing, she disappears in a burst of green fire]
Flora: Don't despair, Your Majesties. Merryweather still has *her* gift to give.
King Stefan: Then, she can undo this fearful curse?

Merryweather: Oh no, sire.
Flora: Maleficent's powers are far too great.
Fauna: But she can help.

Maleficent: It's *incredible*! *Sixteen years* and not a *trace* of her! She couldn't have vanished into thin air!
[to her goons]
Maleficent: Are you sure you searched everywhere?
Maleficent's goon: Yep, yep, everywhere. We *all* did.
[the rest of the goons chatter in agreement]
Maleficent: And

what about the town? The forests? The *mountains*?
Maleficent's goon: Yeah, we searched mountains and forests and, uh, houses and... uh, lemme see here... and all the cradles.
Maleficent: Cradle?
Maleficent's goon: Yep, yep, every cradle.
Maleficent: *Cradle*!
[to her pet raven]

Princess Aurora: [sighs] Oh, dear. Why do they still treat me like a child?

[Giggles]
Princess Aurora: But you know something? I fooled them. I *have* met someone.
Owl: Who?

Who?
Princess Aurora: Oh, a prince.
[Birds chirp]
Princess Aurora: Well, he's tall and handsome, and... and so romantic.
[Birds chirp]
Princess Aurora: Oh, we walk together, and talk together, and just before we say goodbye, he takes me in his arms, and then... I wake up.
[all the animals sigh]

Princess Aurora: 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 dreamed that dream so many times.

Prince Phillip: I'm awfully sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you.
Princess Aurora: Oh, it wasn't that. Is just that you're a... a...
Prince Phillip: A stranger?
Princess Aurora: Mm-hm.
Prince Phillip: But don't you remember? We've met before.
Princess Aurora:

We... we have?
Prince Phillip: But of course! You said so yourself. Once upon a dream.

Prince Phillip: But when will I see you again?
Princess Aurora: Oh never, never!
Prince Phillip: Never?
Princess Aurora: Well, maybe someday.
Prince Phillip: When, tomorrow?
Princess Aurora: Oh no, this evening!
Prince Phillip: Where?

Princess Aurora: [calling back while running away] At the cottage... in the glen.

King Hubert: Nowadays I'm still the king! And I command you to come to your senses!
Prince Phillip: [mounting his horse] And marry the girl I love.
King Hubert: Exactly!
Prince Phillip: [riding off] Goodbye, father!
King Hubert: Goodbye, father. Marry the girl you... No, no! No, no,

Phillip! Stop! Come back!

Maleficent: Fools! Idiots! Imbeciles!
[drives her search patrol away]
Maleficent: [alone with her pet again] Oh, they're hopeless. A disgrace to the forces of evil.
[talking to the raven]
Maleficent: My pet... you are my last hope. Circle far and wide... search for a maid of sixteen with hair of sunshine gold and lips

red as the rose. Go, and do not fail me.
[pet flies away]

[last lines]

Fauna: [weeping] Oh... I just love happy endings.
Flora: Yes. I do too...

Flora: [gasps] *Blue*!
[Fauna grabs her wand and reverts the dress to the color she wanted it

to be]
Flora: Pink.

Merryweather: [waves her wand] Blue.

[Fauna finishes lighting the candles on Aurora's birthday cake and it begins to fall over]
Fauna: Well, what do you think of it?
Flora: Why, it... it's a very unusual cake, isn't it?
Fauna: Yes... of course, it will be much stiffer after it's baked.
Flora: Of course, dear. Well, what do you think of the

dress?
[Aurora's dress which Merryweather is wearing is revealed to be in worse shape than the cake]
Fauna: Well, uh, it's... it's not exactly the way it is in the book, is it...?
Flora: Oh, I improved it. But perhaps if I added a few more ruffles... eh, what do you think?
Fauna: Um, I think so. What do you think,

Merryweather?
Merryweather: I think we've had *enough* of this nonsense! I think we ought to think of Rose, and what *she'll* think of this mess!
[stalks off and the dress falls apart]
Merryweather: I still think what I thunk before: I'm going to get those wands.
[exits]
Fauna: You know, I think she's right.
