Cinderella Lines

Front 1

Here Marie, please take this coin. Buy yourself something nice

Front 2

Good day Jean-Michel

Back 2

And do you know why the poor are the kindest, Ella and Crazy Marie?

Front 3

No, but I have a feeling you are about to be most forthcoming.

Back 3

Because it is a corrupt system, with a smashed moral compass.

Front 4

You will forgive me if I stagger about and mutter.

Back 4

Today I will be going alone to the castle to protest the corruption that riddles our government! You must come with me!

Front 5

That is Madame, Ella's stepmother.

Back 5

I shall shout to the prince! He will have no choice but to listen!

Front 6

You are in harm's way!

Back 6

I have a vision for what this kingdom could be.

Front 7

Madame isn't always terrible. Sometimes she sleeps.

Back 7

Gabrielle. I have brought from university a book for you, with pictures of how people in other lands live. And how they govern. Norway, Italy, Japan...

Front 8

Quit it, you.

Back 8

And four days from now I would like to take you on a date. I'm organizing a soup kitchen. We need someone to stir. And ladle.

Front 9

Into this house at once.

Back 9

Why do I care? Why do I try? I'll never be good enough for her. I will take this book and burn it!

Front 10

I would love to look at your boom of how other countries live.

Back 10

Then here, Ella, take it. I shall go my way alone and live my own life. I'm a loner! You're coming with me, right?

Front 11

Of course.

Back 11

Good.

Front 12

Do you really want me to go into it?

Back 12

Prince Topher, listen!

Front 13

What was that?

Back 13

You must take responsibility for your actions!

Front 14

Who's that yelling from the other side of the moat?

Back 14

The people are being treated unfairly by your government!

Front 15

I've done my best to raise you in the finest schools

Back 15

Hello, I'm talking here!

Front 16

Ignore him

Back 16

I will not give up! If you won't listen, I'll shout this to the town square!

Front 17

(Now is the Time)

Back 17

No, no, no, listen. Tradespeople, tinkers, and fishmongers! I shout to the prince but he ignores me! If he and Sebastian can take the land of the very poor, it is only a matter of time before they take from all of us!

Front 18

Come two daughters that count, finish getting ready!

Back 18

(Knock)

Front 19

Who can that be? It must be good news!

Back 19

Good evening, Madame. Gabrielle? Please forgive me for interrupting your momentous evening. For the ball tonight, I thought you might desire to take these wild flowers. I've picked them myself.

Front 20

Thank you Jean-Michel. They're so beautiful.

Back 20

For the mother of the most perfect girl in all God's creation. I have gathered these myself and-

Front 21

You are not welcome here! Out of my house!

Back 21

Would you perhaps consider-

Front 22

Cinderella's not going anywhere

Back 22

One of the flowers in the bouquet was a wild rose. It's thorn has scratched my lip. Yes- I'm bleeding. I should walk up to the prince and scratch his lip.

Front 23

Oh now

Back 23

Make him drink lemonade, oh it will sting

Front 24

That's just cruel

Back 24

Enough of taking things as they are now is the time for us to March to the palace, the peasants the tradespeople, and finally get the prince to listen to us instead of having his fancy ball

Front 25

Talk to him

Back 25

He won't listen to me je uses his castle to hide from the truth him meeting me will never happen the only thing funniet is you goubf to the ball. Ha. Well why don't you just go to thr ball and ask the prince when he's going to start noyoving noticing that people are being evicted from their lands. Ha! That's absurd.

Front 26

Then open it

Back 26

Hello ella

Front 27

Hello Jean michel

Back 27

I'm sick of hiding in the shadows like a fearful person

Front 28

Would you rather see madame

Back 28

Hiding is nice

Front 29

How are you this evening

Back 29

I'm oing out with Gabrielle and I'm wound up like a tick. Tonight she and i will go to the green grocer and beg him for whatever scraps he might have then we shall slave over a hot stove and serve a meal to the very poorest. I do hope she's not expecting that much fun every night.

Front 30

Good evening Jean michel

Back 30

Good evening Gabrielle. I much prefer you in this simple attire. You no l9nger look like a carnival attraction.

Front 31

And what of the soup kitchen this evening

Back 31

Our first responsibility is with the poor. Then we shall March to the palace steps and I shall speak with the prince. We only have one thing to worry about.

Front 32

What's that

Back 32

That he'll even speak to me

Front 33

She's talked to the prince

Back 33

What? Ella talked to the prince?

Front 34

She's going to the banquet

Back 34

The world is upside down! But don't you know what this means? If she really talked to the prince then I can talk to him and he'll be open to my suggestions. What do you call this feeling I have?

Front 35

Optimism

Back 35

Optimism. I must do this more often

Front 36

(Repeat Gabrielle) you can be my boyfriend!

Back 36

I can be your boyfriend! Whoa, left turn. What are you doing, this looks very counter revolutionary

Front 37

The man who brought me flowers

Back 37

Who brought you flowers? Oh I did. No i couldn't

Front 38

You just said so. Optimism

Back 38

Optimism

Front 39

Let yourself go

Back 39

I could be your boyfriend

Front 40

Yes

Back 40

Yes! Yes! Am I your boyfriend?

Front 41

Yes

Back 41

Yes!

Front 42

Ask about the gold dress

Back 42

Are you all right?

Front 43

A wonderful man with a lot of great Ideas

Back 43

(It's an honor to meet-)

Front 44

Jean michel has something he'd like to say

Back 44

I- uh- we- these people have had their homes and property taken from them. I've said this before, but now I know what it is to have someone you love lose their home. We need your help. We need to have our voices heard.

Front 45

Chapter two!

Back 45

Chapter 2! I didn't get that far.

Front 46

I assume artists

Back 46

We demand to have our voices heard.

Front 47

Here goes nothin

Back 47

Gabrielle, there you are! I've decided, if I become prime minister, I'm gonna marry you.

Front 48

It's too too rich

Back 48

You can do it!
