Impossible.
For a plain yellow pumpkin to become a golden carriage
Impossible
For a plain country bumpkin and a prince to join in marriage
A slipper made of glass is just a shoe
And dreamers never make the dream come true
Impossible
come along now girls
hurry up
move it
Quiet down. Here comes the prince.
Have any of you seen Lady Gwendolyn?
Wouldn't you tell me where to find her?
What do you think mother?
It's certainly not the sort of thing you'd see here every day.
I saw it first.
How do you think it looks on me, mother?
Awful!
I didn't ask you.
How can a mother choose between two such extraordinary daughters?
Cinderella! Cinderella!
yes?
What do you think?
Does it look better on me?
Or me?
Well, I don't know much about hats, but
I don't think it flatters either one of you.
What did you ask her for?
She doesn't know anything about hats.
She said so herself.
Give it to me.
It's mine.
Mother!
Be my bride, Lady Gwendolyn.
And I will pledge to you my love for all eternity.
The sweetest sound I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
the kindest words I'll ever know
are waiting to be said
the most entrancing sign of all
is yet for me to see
and the dearest love in all the world
is waiting somewhere for me
it's waiting somewhere
somewhere for me
Cinderella!
Have you ever seen such a lazy girl in your life?
Whoa re you calling lazy?
Not you stupid, Cinderella.
Who are you calling stupid?
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know
are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
It's waiting somewhere
Somewhere for me
The sweetest sounds I'll ever hear
Are still inside my head
The kindest words I'll ever know
Are waiting to be said
The most entrancing sight of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
It's waiting somewhere
Are you alright miss?
Yes, I'm fine I think.
Here you go.
Just like those royals, isn't it?
Not caring if they're in anybody's way.
Well, Im sure they were going somewhere very important
I doubt it.
Thanks
Thanks for your help
Wait, what's your name?
Cinderella.
Beg your pardon
Cinderella
I like to sit by the fire
and when the cinders fly in
My face gets smudged
Cinder. Ella.
I like it.
It grows on you I guess
Excuse me
Tell me Cinderella what would a man have to do
To find himself in your good graces?
Who wants to know?
Lets just say a charming stranger.
This charming stranger seems pretty sure of himself
But he has to get to know me alot better than some girl he just met from the street.
Oh, he'd like to, very much.
Oh my
I'm not sure I want to meet this stranger.
I doubt if he has any idea how a girl should be treated
Like a princess I supposed
No
Like a person
with kindness and respect
You're not like most girls are you?
What do you mean?
Nothing. I didn't mean to offend you
It's alright
It's just that I've led a pretty sheltered life
So have I
Really?
Everyday the same old routine.
Until you just want to run away and never come back
I thought I told you never to talk to strangers
I'm so sorry stepmother
I hope I see you again, Cinderella
Well, hurry up with those packages!
What are you doing?
The most entrancing sight of all
Is yet for me to see
And the dearest love in all the world
Is waiting somewhere for me
It's waiting somewhere
Somewhere for me
Why
Why do you disguise yourself again Your Highness?
After I begged you?
I had a wonderful time today, Lionel
No one treated my like a prince
What a relief to be among real people
Yes, yes. Can I tell you something?
Real people are not all they're cracked up to be eh?
Look at me I am a real person
Does that tell you anything?
Believe me they are all out there wishing they could be you
Because they have no idea what it's really like
Help me out here
You are rich
You live in a gorgeous palace
You have beautiful women throwing themselves at your feet
Is there something I'm not getting?
I have no life of my own
Everything's decided for me
Where I go. What I do. And who I see.
Your Highness
This disapearing thing has got to stop
It is too dangerous
I was perfectly safe Lionel
I cannot worry about you
I'm worried about me
I cannot keep lying to your mother
They have laws against that
If he wants to kill me why does he not trample me with his carriage and get it over with
You wanted to see me mother?
Christopher darling. Where have you been?
Your father and I were just talking about you
Your mother was talking
I was listening
Alright, what's going on?
Just planning a get together
Nothing fancy
Just family and a few close friends
And all the eligible young women in kingdom
Mother
We are only talking maybe four, five hundred at the most
Mother, you can't keep doing this to me.
What?
Max, what's he saying?
He's saying he doesn't want to have another ball.
No, he's not.
Here we go
It is really evry simple
All your mother and I want is for you to be
Happy
Happiness has nothing to do with it
I mean of course we want you to be happy
But you do have certain obligations
What your mother is trying to say is
We think it's time you chose a bride
And produce an heir
Someday soon this entire kingdom will be yours
Not that soon
Look. All I'm asking is you let me choose a bride for myself
In my own way
And I guess I have the silly idea that I want to be in love when I get married
Like you were
That's all we want for you too son
Yes, darling
But there is nothing saying you can't fall in love in the ball
You ahven't heard a word I said
Where is he going?
Could've been something we said.
Lionel!
Yes, Your Majesty?
Proclamation from the prince.
Excuse me Your Majesty
I could help overhearing
And I have to say I don't think the prince sounded like... Lionel...
Take this down
His royal highness Christopher Rupert Vwindemier Vlandamier Carl Alexander...
Francois Reginald Lancelot Herman
Herman?
Herman
Gregory James
He'll thank us for it later
Is giving a ball
The prince is giving a ball
His royal highness
Christopher Rupert. Son of her majesty, Queen Constantina Charlotte Hermantrude Guenivere Mazie
Mazie?
Mazie
Margareet Ann
Is giving a ball
The prince is giving a ball!
They spread the message far and wide
The prince is giving a ball
They say he wants to find a bride
He may find one at the ball
Oh if only he'd propose to me
I wish he'd propose to me
Just leave the hair and clothes to me
The prince is giving a ball
