Rothbart
- Rothbart: Make Odette fall in love with me, and I'll give you a whole planet to rule.
- Odille: We make Siegfried fall in love with someone else.
- Rothbart: Hmmm, but suppose that idiotic prince won't fall in love with anyone except Odette. What do we do then?
- Odille: I'll show you, Daddy.
- Rothbart: Huh? What are you... What are you doing?
- [Odille transforms into Odette]
- Odille: [sees that Rothbart is sleeping] All he ever wants to do is sleep. It's time to wake up now, daddy. It's dark outside.
- [Rothbart's eyes open]
- Rothbart: Hmm? Huh?
- Odille: You're looking worse than usual, daddy... Is something wrong?
- Rothbart: Every single time, I turned someone into a statue. It really takes it out of me, you know. Especially, broad daylight.
- [groaning, he gets up]
- Odille: You're certainly crazy about that boring Odette, aren't you, daddy?
- [He gets out of the bed tree]
- Rothbart: Crazy? Why, that's not a word for it. She's the only thing in the world, we're feeling out of bed for.
- Prince Siegfried: Rothbart! Fight like a man!
- Rothbart: *Me*? Prince Siegfried wants to fight me?
- Prince Siegfried: I'll fight you to the death if I have to!
- Rothbart: Poor boy. Perhaps you don't realize that standing in front of you is Rothbart the Magnificent?
- Rothbart: [points his sword at Siegfried's throat] Watch me now, prince!
- Princess Odette: Stop! You can't kill him!
- Rothbart: [snickers] So you want him to live?
- Princess Odette: Please, don't kill him.
- [Odille steps forward]
- Odille: Finish him off!
- Rothbart: Oh, I'll let him live, Odette. If you'll accept my humble offer of marriage. Everything has its price. Now, have you fallen in love with me all of a sudden? Or do you want me to ask more nicely? You always were a romantic, weren't you? O, most beautiful of princesses, from the bottom of my heart, I humbly beg you to be mine!
- Prince Siegfried: [to Odette] You can't say yes! Forget about me! Don't give into this monster! I'm not worth it!
- Rothbart: It's up to you now. Please, shall I put him out of his misery?
- Princess Odette: [rushes forward] Wait!
- Prince Siegfried: [to Odette] Don't try to stop him!
- Rothbart: Well? Please give me your answer, princess. I haven't got all day. Will you love me forever, or will you let Siegfried die like a rat?
- Prince Siegfried: Odette, let him kill me! My life doesn't matter!
- Rothbart: Give me your answer, Odette. I'm waiting.
- Princess Odette: I promise that I will love you, Rothbart, for the rest of my life.
- Prince Siegfried: [yells] NO, ODETTE!
- [grabs Rothbart's blade with his hands, grunts]
- Rothbart: No, no! You mustn't...!
- [Siegfried pushes the sword into his chest, screaming. He flashes with a yellow light. Rothbart and Odille scream, turns into owls and fly out of the castle. But instantly they are obliterated by the sunlight]
- Rothbart: Ugggh! Odille, help me!
- [Odille shrieks]
- [Rothbart and Odille as owls, leaving his castle at night]
- Rothbart: Have a pleasent evening, Odette! Curl up with a good book or play a few hands of solitaire! I want you rested for your wedding tomorrow!
- [cackling]
- Princess Odette: [sobbing] Prince Siegfried, Prince Siegfried.
- Rothbart: Please, Odette. Take pity on me, I'm a much better person than you think. Would you rather marry that primping little prince on his ridiculous prancing palomino?
- Princess Odette: Yes.
- Rothbart: But, why? How could you be in love with someone you never laid eyes on until today?
- Princess Odette: You're wrong about that. I've been in love with Siegfried since the first time I swam out into that lake.
- Rothbart: [shocked] What? For three years?
- Princess Odette: Every time, he went out hunting with his friends. I go down to the lake and watch him go by.
- Rothbart: So, that's why you never fell in love with me. Even a little bit. Don't push your luck with me. There's only so much humiliation a sorcerer can take, you know even from the only woman for he'll ever love. Why if you felt like it, I could turn you into a slimy little snake! If you don't do what I say, I'll turn you into a caterpillar, Odette. Just watch me.
- [Rothbart's eyes transforms a canary bird into a caterpillar, Odette notices it and shocked]
- Princess Odette: Oh, no.
- Rothbart: Would you please stop crying for one minute? One of these days, you will have to forget about Siegfried. But I'm patient. I'm sure if I just wait to long enough you will finally give in and marry me.
- [hears Siegfried's horse neighing, gasps]
- Rothbart: What?
- Princess Odette: Prince Siegfried!
- Rothbart: [growling] That little runt! I've had enough of him!
- Odille: Good idea, don't you think?
- Rothbart: No, that something I could never do ever in a million years. I could never do anything to hurt my beautiful Odette.
- Odille: Ohh, how did you get to be such a softie? If you don't have the guts to do it, I'll do it for you!
- Rothbart: No! And please, put that horrible thought out of your mind! I love her too much, Odille. Please...
- [Odille cackling evilly]
- Prince Siegfried: [sees that Rothbart is carrying Odette] What? Who are you? And how did you get into my castle?
- Rothbart: [cackling] Just call me dad! Now, that you're planning to marry my daughter Odille!
- Prince Siegfried: [turns to Odille] You mean he's your father?
- Odille: I'm afraid he is.
- Prince Siegfried: [turns back to Rothbart] You must be that evil sorcerer Rothbart!
- Rothbart: Very smart. Now, Odette belongs to me!
- [cackling evilly]
- Prince Siegfried: But, if that's princess Odette, who do I just proposed to?
- Odille: Well, I told you my name is Odille, didn't I?
- [transforms back into normal, Siegfried gasps]
- Odille: It's too late to be shocked, prince. You've already to given your solemn oath to marry me and till love me for the rest of your ever loving life.
- Prince Siegfried: [turns to Odette] My princess!
- [Odette opens her eyes and sees Prince Siegfried and turns away]
- Prince Siegfried: No! Please forgive me, Odette!
- Rothbart: [cackles] Forget it, Siegfried. She's my princess now.
- [sees that Odette is waking up and turns to her]
- Rothbart: You're waking up at last, Odette.
- Princess Odette: [shoves Rothbart] Farewell, Prince Siegfried.
- [runs away]
- Princess Odette: If you really want to prove how much you love me. If you really want to prove it, then leave my room immediately. Because, you're the last person in the world I care to see.
- [Rothbart began to angry, growling]
- Rothbart: How dare you, how dare you say that! Odette, do you want to go to this Siegfried ball? Hmm? And do you think I let you go?
- [he leaves out of her room]
- Rothbart: And that you obviously don't know very much about Rothbart the Magnificent!
- [chortling, opens and closes the door]
