Drizella
- Jaq: Poor Cinderelly. Ev'ry time she find a minute, that's the time when they begin it. "Cinderelly! Cinderelly!"
- Drizella, Anastasia: [from downstairs] Cinderella!
- [Jaq closes door]
- Jaq: [singing] Cinderelly, Cinderelly / Night and day it's Cinderelly / Make the fire! Fix the breakfast! / Wash the dishes! Do the moppin'!
- Mice: And the sweepin', and the dustin' / They always keep her hoppin'.
- Jaq: She go around in circles 'till she very, very dizzy / Still they holler...
- Mice: Keep-a busy, Cinderelly!
- [after Cinderella has surprisingly managed to procure a ball gown, Anastasia and Drizella protest]
- Stepmother: Girls, please. After all, we did make a bargain, didn't we, Cinderella?
- [notices her daughters' discarded articles on Cinderella]
- Stepmother: And I never go back on my word. Hmm. How very clever. These beads - they give it just the right touch. Don't you think so, Drizella?
- Drizella: No, I don't. I think she's...
- [gasps]
- Drizella: Why, you little thief! They're *my* beads! Give them here!
- [rips them off]
- Cinderella: Oh, no!
- Anastasia: Oh, and look, that's my sash! Wearing my sash, she can't!
- [the two stepsisters proceed to destroy Cinderella's dress completely]
- Anastasia: And my ribbon!
- Cinderella: No, please...
- Drizella: You ungrateful little...!
- Stepmother: Girls, girls. That's quite enough. Hurry along, now, both of you. I won't have you upsetting yourselves.
- [She takes one look at Cinderella before leaving]
- Stepmother: Good night.
- Stepmother: Well, I see no reason why you can't go... if you get all your work done.
- Cinderella: Oh, I will. I promise.
- Stepmother: And, if you can find something suitable to wear.
- Cinderella: I'm sure I can. Oh, thank you, Stepmother.
- [she exits]
- Drizella: Mother! Do you realize what you just said?
- Stepmother: Of course. I said, "If."
- Drizella: [realizing] Oh! "If."
- [they all laugh]
- [as the Duke is about to leave]
- Cinderella: Your Grace? Your Grace! Please, wait. May I try it on?
- Stepmother: Oh, pay no attention to HER.
- Anastasia: It's only Cinderella.
- Drizella: Our scullery maid...
- Anastasia: From the kitchen!
- [the Duke watches Cinderella come down the stairs, focusing hopefully on her tiny feet]
- Stepmother: It's ridiculous.
- Drizella: Impossible.
- Anastasia: She's out of her mind!
- Stepmother: [stepping between Cinderella and the Duke] Yes, yes, just an imaginative child!
- Grand Duke: [imperiously] Madam, my orders were: *every* maiden!
- Stepmother: And, by royal command, every eligible maiden is to attend.
- Drizella: Why, that's us!
- Anastasia: And I'm so eligible!
- [Drizella hits high note, while Anastasia's finger gets caught in the flute, causing it to hit Drizella's chin repeatedly]
- Drizella: You clumsy...
- [takes flute and hits Anastasia in the head]
- Drizella: You did it on purpose!
- Anastasia: [takes flute and hits Drizella in the head] You're always...!
- Stepmother: Girls, girls!
- Anastasia: It's her fault, Mother.
- Stepmother: Above all, self-control.
- [Cinderella knocks on the door]
- Stepmother: [Angry, slams on piano keys] Yes!
- Stepmother: Drizella? Drizella!
- Drizella: Mmm? What?
- Stepmother: Get up. Quick, this instant! We haven't a moment to lose! Anastasia? Anastasia. Get up, Anastasia!
- Anastasia: Huh? What for? Why?
- Stepmother: Oh, everyone's talking about it - the whole kingdom! Oh, hurry now. He'll be here any minute.
- Drizella: [yawning] Who will?
- Stepmother: The Grand Duke! He's been hunting all night.
- Drizella: Hunting?
- Stepmother: For that girl! The one who lost her slipper at the ball last night. They say he's madly in love with her.
- Anastasia: The Duke is?
- Stepmother: Oh, no, no, no. The Prince!
- Cinderella: [upon hearing of the royal ball] Why, that means I can go, too.
- Drizella: [to Anastasia and Stepmother] Hah! Her, dancing with the Prince.
- Anastasia: [mocking Cinderella] I'd be honored, Your Highness. Would you mind holding my broom. Ha Ha!
- Drizella: [ordering Cinderella in bedroom when being brought breakfast] Take that ironing and have it back in an hour! One hour, you hear?
