Angelina Jolie: Maleficent

Maleficent

Maleficent

Maleficent: [before kissing Aurora to awaken her from her enchanted sleep] I will not ask your forgiveness because what I have done to you is unforgivable. I was so lost in hatred and revenge. Sweet Aurora, you stole what was left of my heart. And now I have lost you forever. I swear, no harm will come to you as long as I live. And not a day shall pass that I don't miss your smile.

[at Princess Aurora's christening]
Maleficent: Well, well.
[She laughs softly]
Maleficent: What a glittering assemblage, King Stefan. Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and...
[Her laugh becomes contemptuous]
Maleficent: ...How quaint, even the rabble.
[staring at the obviously-nervous King]
Maleficent: I must say, I was distressed at not receiving an invitation.
King Stefan: You're not welcome here.
Maleficent: [whimpers mockingly] Oh, dear!
[she laughs some more]
Maleficent: What an awkward situation.
[turns to leave]
Queen Leila: You're not offended?
Maleficent: Why should I be? Just to prove that I bear no ill will, I shall bestow my own gift upon the child.
King Stefan: No! We don't want any gift of yours!
Knotgrass: Stay away from the princess!
Thistletwit: Yes, stay away!
[the Dark Fairy casts the fairies backward across the room, shutting them inside a chest. Then Maleficent gives the baby Aurora a pensive look]
Maleficent: [casting her spell] Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, in sweetness and wisdom and generosity, adored by all who meet her.
Queen Leila: That's a lovely gift.
[King Stephan, however, seems fearful of what Maleficent's "gift" will hold next]
King Stefan: Don't do this.
[Pressing a finger to her lips, Maleficent notices a spinning-wheel]
Maleficent: But... As they said in ancient Rome, "He whom the Gods love, dies in youth"... he, or SHE.
[the Dark Fairy gazes wickedly at Aurora, before continuing]

Princess Aurora: [after she awakens from her enchanted sleep] Hello, Godmother.
Maleficent: Hello, Beastie.

Maleficent: Before the sun sets on her sixteenth birthday, she will prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel, and fall into a sleep like death! A sleep from which she will *never* awaken!
King Stefan: Maleficent, please don't do this, I'm begging you.
Maleficent: I like you begging. Do it again.
[Maleficent motions for him to kneel]
Maleficent: [King Stefan kneels before Maleficent, his advisers looking on in disapproval]
King Stefan: I beg you.
Maleficent: All right.
Maleficent: The princess *can* be woken from her death sleep, but only by...
[Maleficent glares vindictively at Stefan]
Maleficent: True Love's Kiss!
[short pause]
Maleficent: This curse will last till the end of time! No power on Earth can change it!

[From trailer]
Princess Aurora: All the other fairies fly, why don't you?
Maleficent: I had wings once, and they were strong. But they were stolen from me.

Princess Aurora: Do all the Fair People have wings?
Maleficent: Most do.
Princess Aurora: Then why don't you? All the other fairies fly.
Maleficent: I did, but they were stolen from me. That's all I wish to say about it.
Princess Aurora: What color were they? Were they big?
Maleficent: So big they dragged behind me when I walked. And they were strong. They could carry me above the clouds and into the headwinds. And they never faltered, not even once. I could trust them.

[while pulling a prank on the fairies by creating a rainstorm inside their cottage]
[Diaval looks at her]
Maleficent: Oh, come on! That's funny.
