Fauna
- Fauna: Maleficent doesn't know anything about love, or kindness, or the joy of helping others. You know, sometimes I don't think she's really very happy.
- Merryweather: I'd like to turn her into a fat ol' - hop toad.
- Fauna: Now, dear, that isn't a very nice thing to say.
- Flora: Besides, we can't. You know our magic doesn't work that way.
- Fauna: It can only do good, dear, to bring joy and happiness.
- Merryweather: Well, *that* would make me happy.
- Maleficent: Listen well, all of you.
- [clangs her scepter against the floor]
- Maleficent: The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. *But*... before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger - on the spindle of a spinning wheel - and DIE!
- Queen Leah: [clutching the baby Aurora] Oh no!
- [Maleficent laughs]
- King Stefan: Seize that creature!
- Maleficent: Stand back, you fools!
- [laughing, she disappears in a burst of green fire]
- Flora: Don't despair, Your Majesties. Merryweather still has *her* gift to give.
- King Stefan: Then, she can undo this fearful curse?
- Merryweather: Oh no, sire.
- Flora: Maleficent's powers are far too great.
- Fauna: But she can help.
- Fauna: Now, yeast, one tsp. Tsp?
- Merryweather: One *teaspoon*.
- Fauna: One teaspoon, of course!
- [chuckles]
- [last lines]
- Flora: Why Fauna, what's the matter, dear?
- Fauna: [weeping] Oh... I just love happy endings.
- Flora: Yes. I do too...
- [Flora notices the wrong color on Aurora's dress during the dance]
- Flora: [gasps] *Blue*!
- [Flora grabs her wand and reverts the dress to the color she wanted it to be]
- Flora: Pink.
- [Merryweather soon notices the change as she and Flora start fighting over their prefered colors]
- Merryweather: [waves her wand] Blue.
- Fauna: She's in love!
- Merryweather: Oh, no!
- Flora: This is terrible!
- Princess Aurora: Why? After all, I am sixteen.
- Flora: It isn't that, dear.
- Fauna: You're already betrothed.
- Princess Aurora: Betrothed?
- Merryweather: Since the day you were born.
- Fauna: To Prince Phillip, dear.
- Princess Aurora: But that's impossible. How could I marry a prince? I'd have to be...
- Merryweather: A princess.
- Fauna: And you are, dear.
- Flora: Princess Aurora. Tonight we're taking you back to your father, King Stefan.
- Princess Aurora: But... but I can't! He's coming here tonight. I promised to meet him.
- Flora: I'm sorry, child. But you must never see that young man again.
- Princess Aurora: Oh no. No! I can't believe it, no! No!
- [she runs to her room, sobbing]
- Merryweather: And we tought she'd be so happy.
- [she on her bed lies face down and continuous to cry sadness]
- Flora: I'll turn her into a flower.
- Merryweather: Maleficent?
- Flora: [chuckles] No, no, dear. The princess.
- Fauna: Oh, she'd make a lovely flower.
- Flora: [enthusiastically] Don't you see? A flower can't prick its finger.
- Merryweather: It hasn't any.
- Fauna: That's right.
- Flora: She'll be perfectly safe.
- Merryweather: Until Maleficent sends a frost.
- Flora: [laughs, then stops abruptly] Yes... oh dear.
- Fauna: She always ruins your nicest flowers.
- [Fauna finishes lighting the candles on Aurora's birthday cake and it begins to fall over]
- Fauna: Well, what do you think of it?
- Flora: Why, it... it's a very unusual cake, isn't it?
- Fauna: Yes... of course, it will be much stiffer after it's baked.
- Flora: Of course, dear. Well, what do you think of the dress?
- [Aurora's dress which Merryweather is wearing is revealed to be in worse shape than the cake]
- Fauna: Well, uh, it's... it's not exactly the way it is in the book, is it...?
- Flora: Oh, I improved it. But perhaps if I added a few more ruffles... eh, what do you think?
- Fauna: Um, I think so. What do you think, Merryweather?
- Merryweather: I think we've had *enough* of this nonsense! I think we ought to think of Rose, and what *she'll* think of this mess!
- [stalks off and the dress falls apart]
- Merryweather: I still think what I thunk before: I'm going to get those wands.
- [exits]
- Fauna: You know, I think she's right.
- Fauna: Rose!
- Flora: Rose!
- Merryweather: Don't touch...
- Fauna, Flora, Merryweather: ANYTHING!
- [their voices echo; Aurora pulls her hand away from the glowing spindle for a moment]
- Maleficent: Touch the spindle. Touch it, I say!
- [Aurora pricks her finger on the spindle; the fairies enter the room, but gasp when they see Maleficent]
- Maleficent: You poor, simple fools. Thinking you could defeat me. *Me*, the mistress of all evil! Well, here's your precious *princess*!
- [she pulls her cape back to reveal Aurora collapsed in sleep; laughing, she disappears]
- Merryweather: Rose!
- Fauna: Oh Rose!
- Flora: Oh, I'll never forgive myself.
- Fauna: We're all to blame.
- [in that moment, the sun starts to hide on the west]
- [preparing for Aurora's birthday party]
- Merryweather: But, I never baked a *fancy* cake.
- Flora: Oh, you won't have to, dear!
- Fauna: [gleefully] *I'm* going to bake the cake!
- Merryweather: *You*?
- Flora: Oh, she's always wanted to, dear, and this is her last chance.
- Merryweather: [doubtfully] Well...
- Fauna: I'm going to make it 15 layers with pink and blue forget-me-nots.
- Fauna: And *I'm* making the dress.
- Merryweather: But you can't sew! And she's *never* cooked!
- Flora: Oh-ho-ho, it's simple.
- Fauna: All you do is follow the book!
- Flora: [putting Merryweather on a stool] Up here, dear. You can be the dummy.
- Merryweather: Well, I still say we oughta use magic.
- [after the fairies place the sleeping Aurora on the bed in the highest castle tower]
- Fauna: [sadly] Poor King Stefan and the Queen.
- Merryweather: They'll be heartbroken when they find out.
- Flora: [wiping away a tear] They're not going to.
- Merryweather: They aren't? But...
- Flora: We'll put them *all* to sleep, until Rose awakens.
- [the fairies rush to the cottage to find Phillip's hat on the floor]
- Flora, Merryweather, Fauna: Maleficent!
- Merryweather: She's got Prince Phillip!
- Flora: At the Forbidden Mountain.
- Fauna: But we can't, we can't go there!
- Flora: We can, and we must!
- Princess Aurora: [on her return from picking berries] Aunt Flora? Fauna? Merrywether?
- [closes the door, but finds the house silent]
- Princess Aurora: Where is everybody?
- Princess Aurora: [gasps as she sees her new dress draped over a chair and rushes toward it eagerly] Oh!
- Flora, Fauna, Merryweather: [appearing from their hiding place] Surprise! Surprise! Happy Birthday!
- Princess Aurora: Oh, you darlings! This is the happiest day of my life! Everything's *so* wonderful!
- Flora: [to Aurora, seating her before a mirror] And now dear, if you'll just sit here. This one last gift, dear child, for thee.
- [she, Fauna, and Merryweather magically conjure up a crown]
- Flora: The symbol of thy royalty.
- [as she ceremoniously places the crown on Aurora's head]
- Flora: A crown to wear in grace and beauty; as is thy right, and royal duty.
- [Aurora puts her head in her arms and weeps]
- Fauna: [comfortingly] Now, dear...
- Flora: Come. Let her have a few moments alone.
- [they walk out]
- Merryweather: It's that boy she met.
- Fauna: Whatever are we going to do?
- [back in the room, the fire goes out and a hovering green flame appears; Aurora rises, entranced, and begins walking toward it to eerie music]
- Merryweather: [irked] Ooh, I don't see why she has to marry any old... *prince*!
- Fauna: Now, that's not for us to decide, dear.
- [Aurora continues to follow the flame; a doorway appears in the fireplace]
- Fauna: [to Flora] Maybe we *should* tell King Stefan about the boy.
- Merryweather: Well, why don't we?
- Flora: [listening at the door] Listen!
- [gasps]
- Flora: Maleficent! Rose!
- [they rush in]
- Flora, Fauna: Rose!
- [they gasp, seeing Aurora step through the doorway in the fireplace]
- Fauna: Oh, why did we leave her alone? Rose!
- Flora, Fauna, Merryweather: [they rush towards the doorway; it vanishes] Rose!
- Princess Aurora: [Excitedly] Just wait until you meet him!
- Fauna: Him?
- Merryweather: Rose?
- Flora: You've met some stranger?
- Princess Aurora: Oh, he's not a stranger. We've met before.
- Flora: You have?
- Merryweather: Where?
- Princess Aurora: Once upon a dream.
- [sings and starts dancing with Fauna]
- Princess Aurora: I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream...
