Cinderella (I) (1965 TV Movie)

Lesley Ann Warren: Cinderella

Quotes 

• Prince : What is your name, lass?

  Cinderella : I am called Cinderella.

  Prince : Cinderella. And why are you called that?

  Cinderella : Because I sit among the ashes.

  Prince : And why do you do that?

  Cinderella : To warm my feet. You see, sir, I sleep in the attic where it's always cold.

  Prince : And why do you sleep in the attic?

  Cinderella : The other rooms are occupied by my stepmother and my stepsisters.

  Prince : And where does your father sleep?

  Cinderella : [looking up hopefully]  In heaven.

• Prince : I have a strange feeling that we have met before. That I have heard your voice before. Is that possible?

  Cinderella : It's possible. Yes, everything is possible tonight!

  Prince : Everything is different. Everything has changed since you came. I have never felt this way before.

  Cinderella : Nor I.

• Prince : Come out. We will not harm you.

  Cinderella : I dare not.

  Prince : Why not?

  Cinderella : I do not know you and no one is at home and my stepmother will beat me if I speak to anyone while she is away.

• Stepmother : Did anyone call while we were away?

  Cinderella : Yes, ma'am.

  Stepmother : Who was it?

  Cinderella : Only a traveler who stopped for a dipper of water.

  Stepmother : And you gave it to him?

  Cinderella : Yes, ma'am.

  Stepmother : I told you never to open that door while we were away!

  Cinderella : But he was so thirsty, and his smile was so kind.

  Stepmother : [coldly]  Go to your corner, and stay there till you're called.

  Cinderella : Yes, ma'am.

• Cinderella : [after giving Prince water]  More?

  Prince : [Gently, as Ten Minutes Ago softly plays]  No, thank you most kindly.

  Cinderella : [with tears in her eyes]  You are most kindly welcome, your highness.

  Prince : [face exhibits recognition]  We have spoken these words before!

  Cinderella : [sobbing]  Yes, your highness.

  Prince : [gently touches her cheek]  Not only here, but in a moonlit garden!

  Cinderella : [sobbing]  Yes, your highness.

• Prince : Are you really here, or are you a figure of enchantment? Is this really happening, or are we in a dream?

  Cinderella : If it is enchantment, I hope it is forever. If it is a dream, I wish never to awaken.

  Prince : If it is not enchantment or a dream, then why do I feel as I do?
