Sleeping Beauty Quotes

Fauna: Rose!
Flora: Rose!
Merryweather: Don't touch...
Fauna, Flora, Merryweather: ANYTHING!
[their voices echo; Aurora pulls her hand away from the spindle for a moment]
Maleficent: Touch the spindle. Touch it I say!
[Aurora

pricks her finger on the spindle; the fairies enter the room, but gasp when they see Maleficent]
Maleficent: You poor, simple fools. Thinking you could defeat me. *Me*, the mistress of all evil! Well, here's your precious *princess*!
[she pulls her cape back to reveal the now sleeping Aurora; laughing, she disappears]

Fauna: She's in love!
Merryweather: Oh, no!
Flora: This is terrible!
Princess Aurora: Why? After all, I am sixteen.
Flora: It isn't that, dear.
Fauna: You're already betrothed.
Princess Aurora: Betrothed?

Merryweather: Since the day you were born.
Fauna: To Prince Phillip, dear.
Princess Aurora: But that's impossible. How could I marry a prince? I'd have to be...
Merryweather: A princess.
Fauna: And you are, dear.
Flora: Princess Aurora. Tonight we're taking you

back to your father, King Stefan.
Princess Aurora: But... but I can't! He's coming here tonight. I promised to meet him.
Flora: I'm sorry, child. But you must never see that young man again.
Princess Aurora: Oh no. No! I can't believe it, no! No!
[she runs to her room, sobbing]

Flora: I'll turn her into a flower.
Merryweather: Maleficent?
Flora: [chuckles] No, no, dear. The princess.
Fauna: Oh, she'd make a lovely flower.
Flora: [enthusiastically] Don't you see? A flower can't prick its finger.
Merryweather: It hasn't any.

Fauna: That's right.
Flora: She'll be perfectly safe.
Merryweather: Until Maleficent sends a frost.
Flora: [laughs, then stops abruptly] Yes... oh dear.
Fauna: She always ruins your nicest flowers.

[after the fairies place the sleeping Aurora on the bed in the highest castle tower]
Fauna: [sadly] Poor King Stefan and the Queen.
Merryweather: They'll be heartbroken when they find out.
Flora: [wiping away a tear] They're not going to.
Merryweather: They aren't? But...
Flora:

We'll put them *all* to sleep, until Rose awakens.

King Hubert: To the wedding!
King Stefan: Now, be reasonable, Hubert. After all, Aurora knows nothing about all this.
King Hubert: Well?
King Stefan: Well, it may come as quite a shock.
King Hubert: [Spits out his wine] Shock? My Phillip a shock? What's wrong with my Phillip?

King Stefan: Nothing, Hubert. I only meant...
King Hubert: Why doesn't your daughter like my son?
King Stefan: Now, now...
King Hubert: I'm not so sure my son likes your daughter!
King Stefan: Now, see here...
King Hubert: I'm not so sure my grandchildren want

you for a grandfather!
King Stefan: Why you, you, unreasonable, pompous, blustering old windbag!
King Hubert: Unreasonable, pompous... En garde, sir!
[Reaches for his sword, but grabs a fish by mistake]
King Stefan: I warn you, Hubert. This means war!
King Hubert: [Fighting] Forward! For honor!

For country! For...
[Realizes he's fighting with a fish; they both start laughing]
King Hubert: What's this all about, anyway?
King Stefan: Nothing, Hubert. Absolutely nothing.
King Hubert: Those children are bound to fall in love with each other!
King Stefan: Precisely. And as for grandchildren,

I'll have the royal woodcarvers start work on the cradle tomorrow.
King Hubert: Splendid! King-sized, of course.
King Stefan: Certainly! To the Woodcarvers' Guild!

[preparing for Aurora's birthday party]
Merryweather: But, I never baked a *fancy* cake.
Flora: Oh, you won't have to, dear!
Fauna: [gleefully] *I'm* going to bake the cake!
Merryweather: *You*?
Flora: Oh, she's always wanted to, dear, and this is her last chance.

Merryweather: [doubtfully] Well...
Fauna: I'm going to make it 15 layers with pink and blue forget-me-nots.
Fauna: And *I'm* making the dress.
Merryweather: But you can't sew! And she's *never* cooked!
Flora: Oh-ho-ho, it's simple.
Fauna: All you do is follow the

book!
Flora: [putting Merryweather on a stool] Up here, dear. You can be the dummy.
Merryweather: Well, I still say we oughta use magic.

[the fairies rush to the cottage to find Phillip's hat on the floor]
Flora, Merryweather, Fauna: Maleficent!
Merryweather: She's got Prince Phillip!
Flora: At the Forbidden Mountain.
Fauna: But we can't, we can't go there!
Flora: We

can, and we must!

King Hubert: Stefan, there's - there's something important I have to tell you.
King Stefan: Eh, but not now, Hubert.
King Hubert: But, but it's uh, about Phillip.
King Stefan: Phillip? Oh, yes, of course, Phillip. Why, where is the boy?
King Hubert: That's what I'm trying to tell you.

King Stefan: Well, send for him immediately!
King Hubert: But...
King Stefan: Shhh!
[fanfare plays]
Lord Duke: The sun has set! Make ready to welcome your princess!

Prince Phillip: [Hearing Aurora's singing] You hear that, Samson? Beautiful.
[Samson snorts]
Prince Phillip: What is it? Come on, let's find out.
[Samson refuses]
Prince Phillip: Aw, come on. For an extra bucket of oats? And a few... carrots?
[Samson nods yes]
Prince Phillip: Hup, boy!

[They ride through the forest; Samson jumps over a river but Phillip falls off and into the water]
Prince Phillip: Whoa!
[Samson goes back for him and Phillip splashes water on his face]
Prince Phillip: No carrots.

Princess Aurora: [on her return from picking berries] Aunt Flora? Fauna? Merrywether?
[closes the door, but finds the house silent]
Princess Aurora: Where is everybody?
Princess Aurora: [gasps as she sees her new dress draped over a chair and rushes toward it eagerly] Oh!

Flora, Fauna, Merryweather: [appearing from their hiding place] Surprise! Surprise! Happy Birthday!
Princess Aurora: Oh, you darlings! This is the happiest day of my life! Everything's *so* wonderful!

Flora: [to Aurora, seating her before a mirror] And now dear, if you'll just sit here. This one last gift, dear child, for thee.
[she, Fauna, and Merryweather magically conjure up a crown]
Flora: The symbol of thy royalty.
[as she ceremoniously places the crown on Aurora's head]
Flora: A crown to wear in grace and

beauty; as is thy right, and royal duty.
[Aurora puts her head in her arms and weeps]
Fauna: [comfortingly] Now, dear...
Flora: Come. Let her have a few moments alone.
[they walk out]
Merryweather: It's that boy she met.
Fauna: Whatever are we going to do?
[back in the room, the

fire goes out and a hovering green flame appears; Aurora rises, entranced, and begins walking toward it to eerie music]
Merryweather: [irked] Ooh, I don't see why she has to marry any old... *prince*!
Fauna: Now, that's not for us to decide, dear.
[Aurora continues to follow the flame; a doorway appears in the fireplace]

Fauna: [to Flora] Maybe we *should* tell King Stefan about the boy.
Merryweather: Well, why don't we?
Flora: [listening at the door] Listen!
[gasps]
Flora: Maleficent! Rose!
[they rush in]
Flora, Fauna: Rose!
[they gasp, seeing Aurora step

through the doorway in the fireplace]
Fauna: Oh, why did we leave her alone? Rose!
Flora, Fauna, Merryweather: [they rush towards the doorway; it vanishes] Rose!

King Hubert: The plans!
[Servant presents King Stefan with blueprints]
King Hubert: Well, what do you think? Nothing elaborate, of course. Forty bedrooms, dining hall... honeymoon cottage, really.
King Stefan: You - you mean you're building it already?
King Hubert: Built, man! Finished! Lovebirds can

move in tomorrow.
King Stefan: Tomorrow? But Hubert, they're not even married yet.
King Hubert: Ha ha, we'll take care of that tonight. To the wedding!
King Stefan: Now, hold on, Hubert. I haven't even *seen* my daughter yet, and you're taking her away from me?
King Hubert: Getting my Phillip, aren't

you?
King Stefan: Yes, but...
King Hubert: Want to see our grandchildren, don't we?
King Stefan: Of course, but uh...
King Hubert: Well, there's no time to lose. Getting on in years, ha ha ha. To the wedding!
