Ever After: A Cinderella Story Edit

A courtier knows the difference.

A lady of breeding ought never to raise her voice...

A man who was still a boy...

A sapling cannot grow in the shadow of a mighty oak, Francis.

Aaagh!

Aaargh!

Above the gentle hum of a whispering wind.

After all I have done!

After all that I do!

All right, one.

And don't chew on the bones at dinner and give yourself away.

And even then I'm sure God negotiates.

And for that I know I must die.

And her daughters, Marguerite and Jacqueline.

And it is going to be a beautiful day!

And that boy will obey me, or there will be hell to pay!

And this...

And try to think of what else I could do, how to act...

And where in God's name is our bread?!

And you're a husband now.

Auguste!

Auguste.

Because I have to go to Avignon in a fortnight.

Boy or girl, I can still whip you.

Bringing up the child on his own.

But a father first and for ever.

But he does not love her, my lord.

But I must say I was terribly disturbed...

But I seem to be missing a daughter.

But the King has sold him to Cartier. He's bound for the Americas.

But we could add it to our library.

Call out the guard! Bring him back!

Can't this wait till morning?

Child, where did you get this?

Child, your father arrives any moment!

Come along, ladies. Back to your lessons.

Come on, go to sleep.

Come on, you stupid beast!

Come on! Yah!

Coming!

Danielle, come here, child.

Danielle!

Danielle...

Darling, nothing is final until you're dead.

De Barbarac.

Did the sun rise in the east?

Did you see the way they ate their supper?

Do you know what the punishment is...

Eggs are cold.

Extraordinary.

For your silence.

Forgive me, Your Highness. I did not see you.

Forgive me, Your Majesty.

From an angel of mercy.

Get out, or I'll wake the house.

Give it to me! Give it to me!

God, I don't believe this!

Good day, gentlemen.

Good, good.

Got you! Give me that!

Gustave, I told you!

Hah!

Have you lost your marbles?

He always waves at the gate.

He's...

Hello, Danielle. At last we meet.

Henry, wake up!

Her name was Danielle...

I asked for four minute eggs, not four one minute eggs.

I beg you, please leave us alone.

I do try, Stepmother.

I do wish to please you.

I doubt your style of resonance would be permitted in the Royal Court.

I fear, Baroness, anything larger might make her fall over.

I find your collection of folk tales quite brilliant actually.

I get a mother and sisters all in one day!

I had hoped to present a little lady.

I have brought you an entire household, Maurice.

I have just the thing!

I hope she likes me.

I I love you.

I know what to do with them.

I love you.

I see you have brought us a baroness.

I shall be back in a week.

I signed a marriage treaty with the King of Spain...

I suppose this will take some getting used to.

I suppose you'll have to do.

I suppose you're wondering why anyone my age would request an audience...

I trust you slept well.

I was not shrill, I was resonant.

I wish for nothing more than to be free of my gilded cage.

I'll wager your friend Gustave is around here.

I'm counting on you to teach them the ropes around here.

I'm not going to the Royal Court, am I, Mother?

I've never seen so many gloomy faces around here.

If he is to become King, he must accept his responsibilities.

If I can't sleep, neither shall he.

If the Baroness can sell your husband to pay her taxes...

If you insist on smelling like one?

In many, many ways.

Is that such an extraordinary request?

It is your manner that offends, Danielle.

It is... my life.

It means paradise.

It needs to draw some attention.

It would be ten years before another man would enter her life.

It's absolutely charming, really.

It's been a very long day.

It's just coming out of the oven, my lady.

It's never enough.

Jacqueline, dear. Do not speak unless you can improve the silence.

Just be the little angel I know is in there somewhere.

Kiss.

Ladies, say hello to your new stepsister.

Leave me, leave me!

Like a dance!

Look at all those feathers!

Look at you. Ash and soot everywhere.

Look lively, it's the master.

Mademoiselle.

Marguerite, Jacqueline.

Marguerite, precious...

May I present the Baroness Rodmilla de Ghent...

Might I enquire about the painting?

Mine slipped his shoe. I have no choice.

Morning, Madame...

No one is. Except some Spanish pig they have the nerve to call a princess.

No, sir! I slaughtered him.

No.

No. Too small.

Not again.

Not today!

Now, then.

Oh ho ho!

Oh, calm down, child. Relax.

Oh, hold still!

Oh, look at you, just as I left.

Oh, no, there's nothing there!

Oh, no, you don't.

Oh, no.

Oh, Paulette, it feels just like Christmas!

Oh, yes.

Oh... Auguste.

Once upon a time...

Others insist it was glass.

Papa, please come back!

Papa!

Papa!

Papa!

Papa!

Papa!

Perhaps by then, the three of you will know each other better.

Perhaps if we brought back Maurice, I would not offend you so.

Perhaps you are right. I shall have to look elsewhere.

Please, sir!

Please!

Really, Francis!

Safe journey, master.

She must be lovely.

She'll love you.

She's in one of her moods!

She's really quite er...

Sleep tight.

Some claim the shoe was made of fur.

Some people read because they cannot think for themselves.

Someone's been reading in the fireplace again.

Sometimes, I sit on my own...

Speak of this to no one and er...

Take heed, mistress...

Thank you, Maurice.

Thank you.

That was harsh, Marguerite.

That's what I am, half wit!

The Baroness isn't used to getting her hands dirty.

The Brothers Grimm, Your Majesty.

The Court will have to let him go.

The master deserves some happiness after all this time...

The painting...

Then er...

Then go. The sooner you leave, the sooner we can celebrate your return.

Then it's true... the story?

Then these can bring him home.

There are those who swear Perrault's telling...

There lived a young girl...

There's nothing!

Thief! This will teach you to steal my father's horse!

This is our home, and I will not see it fall apart.

This may be a bit thick for an eight year old.

Throughout these hard times, I have sheltered you and cared for you.

Ugly bastard! Fast!

Utopia.

Wait! It's tradition.

Was her glass slipper.

We are waiting!

We have other horses, Highness.

We shall have no more talk of servants coming back. Understood?

We've been two peas in a pod, you and I, for a long time.

Welcome home, Monsieur le seigneur.

Well, so you did.

What can I do to make you try?

What do I always say about tone?

What is that phrase you use?

What kept you?

When I read your version of The Little Cinder Girl.

Who loved her father very much.

Why don't you sleep with the pigs, Cinder Soot...

Why is there no salt on this table?

Will you read some?

With the authors of children's stories.

Would be closer to the truth.

Yah!

Yah!

Yeah, but today you look it!

Yes, I'm a husband.

Yes, it's going to be very exciting here, what with the Baroness and all...

Yes, Louise, it did.

Yes, my lady.

Yes. Quite.

You cannot leave me here!

You cannot leave me here.

You look like a girl!

Younger, if that is your wish.

Your appearance does reflect a certain... crudeness, my dear.

Your father speaks of nothing else.

Your letter was most intriguing, madam.

And our choice is what? To let you? I was borrowing it.

But you just got back! I know.

Do you like them? Very much.

For how long? Only... three weeks.

Get on the horses! It's the Royal Guard! Run!

He needs sunlight. He needs a good whipping.

It's not about love! Perhaps it should be.

No, my lady. Very well.

No, no, not that. Out of the way, old man!

One. Two.

That man, he's getting away. The Guard will assist you. I cannot.
