Quotes
-
Cinderella : I doubt he has any idea how a girl should be treated.
The Prince : Like a princess, I suppose.
Cinderella : No, like a person, with kindness and respect.
-
Cinderella : But those three are all I've got. Before my father died, I promised him that we'd stay together as a family.
Fairy Godmother : Cinderella, this can't be what your daddy had in mind for you, baby.
-
Cinderella : [singing] 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 / Is waiting somewhere, somewhere for me.
-
Fairy Godmother : Cinderella, if you really love him, why don't you let him know?
Cinderella : How can I? Look at me.
Fairy Godmother : Do you really think he fell in love with your fancy gown and your pretty braids?
Cinderella : I don't know anymore and if you hadn't help me.
Fairy Godmother : You didn't need my help. You just thought you did. Believe in yourself, Cinderella, and trust him to love you as you really are.
-
The Prince : Was it last summer at the lake?
Cinderella : No, I can't swim.
-
Cinderella : Why? Why is this so hard for you to imagine?
Stepmother : Because you're common, Cinderella. Your mother was common and so are you. Only you can wash your face and put on a clean dress, but underneath, you'll still be common. But a prince would even consider taking you for his bride? Why, it's laughable!
Cinderella : My father.
Stepmother : Your father was weak. He spoiled you rotten, he filled your head with silly thoughts and dreams that'll never come true. Never. Now, clean this place up. It's a sty.
-
Cinderella : [singing] Am I making believe I see in you a man too perfect to be really true? Do I want you because you're wonderful? Or are you wonderful because I want you?
-
Cinderella : [watching the dance scene] The prince is giving a ball.
-
Cinderella : Go to the ball? Me? Why would I want to go to the ball? I'd much rather sit here by the fire.
-
Cinderella : [after Fairy Godmother turns the pumpkin into a carriage] Oh my goodness.
-
Cinderella : But shouldn't a man love you for who you are, in spite of everything?
Stepmother : How quaint. Tell me, Cinderella, what would you say to capture the prince?
Cinderella : I don't know. But whatever I'd say, we'd know in an instant we were meant for each other. Then he'd smile, and kiss my hand.
Minerva : That's so romantic.
Calliope : Oh, say it again, Cinderella.
Stepmother : Rubbish! This isn't about love, it's about marriage.
