Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps quotes

[In Ms. Mimi's class]

Ms. Mimi

Now wiggle your nose.

[Ms. Mimi and the class in the classical music dance while bending down to their toes wiggle their noses. Ms. Mimi goes first bending down to her toes and wiggling her nose]

[Angelina finishes the phone call with Alice and hangs up the receiver.]

Angelina

[mutters] I cannot believe my terrible luck! Alice has the sniffles! And now, I do not have a partner! What am I going to do?!

[After Angelina gets off the phone with Alice and finds out that she --Alice-- has the sniffles, Angelina's doorbell rings.]

Viki

[from the door] Angelina?

[Angelina sees Viki at the door and opens it. Viki hands the music player back to Angelina. And she --Vicki-- says to Angelina...!]

Viki

Here is your music player back.

[Then Viki tells Angelina the sad news about Gracie.]

Viki

Guess what happened?

Angelina

[disappointedly] What?

Viki

Gracie, she cannot be in the showcase. She has the sniffles.

[Now both of the girls --from Ms. Mimi's class-- Alice and Gracie have the sniffles. Viki got home from Gracie's house. And Gracie told Vicki that she --Gracie-- got the sniffles.]

Angelina

Poor Gracie! And Alice has them too!

Viki

Poor Alice! Well? See you later. I guess.

[The scene cuts from Angelina's room --where Angelina was making a broom into a dancing doll and impersonating it to look like Alice-- to the lunchtime theater at Camembert Academy. In this scene, Vicki tells Ms. Mimi that her dance partner Gracie has the sniffles, and so does --Angelina's partner-- Alice.]

Ms. Mimi

[to Viki] Oh Viki...! I am sorry that Gracie has the sniffles. (That is, and so does Alice.)

[Ms. Mimi hugs Viki in comfort. The scene cuts to Angelina with her dancing doll and sets her on one of the lunch tables. Marco comes up to Angelina with the clipboard. Then he --Marco-- says to Angelina...!]

Marco

(to Angelina) Ms. Mimi said to tell you that you and your partner are going to dance in the showcase.

[Marco sees the "dancing doll" which Angelina created.]

Marco

Wow! That is your partner?

Angelina

Yes.

Marco

But she is not real.

Angelina

Yes, she is. She is a real dancing doll.

[After Angelina says this, Marco looks at the rules.]

Marco

[to Angelina] The rules do not say, "No dancing dolls".

Angelina

Good.

Marco

But it does not say they are okay either. I am not sure about this Angelina.

[The scene cuts to Ms. Mimi now talking to Angelina.]

Angelina

Ms. Mimi? I really wish I could dance in the showcase.

Ms. Mimi

You really want to be in the showcase. Do you?

Angelina

[crying] Yes. I really do.

[Tears run down Angelina's cheeks after she --Angelina-- says this.]

Ms. Mimi

And are you willing to work hard?

Angelina

[in between tears] Mm-hmmm.

[Angelina --after saying this-- resumes crying.]

Ms. Mimi

Then I will give you some extra time to come up with a routine. And instead of dancing first, you and your partner may dance last today.

[After the gift, decorations, and birthday cake got ruined.]

Angelina

[sadly] No gift, no decorations, and no cake! Not a very good birthday party!

[Angelina sniffles. The scene cuts to where Angelina, Viki, Gracie, and Marco are staring at the ruined birthday cake that Marco just made. Now they end up with no gift, no decorations, and no cake/treats/baked goods to share]

Angelina

[sadly] We can't have a birthday party without a cake!

[Angelina, the girls and Marco know that they're too late to make or buy a new cake. Because there's no time to make nor buy a new one. They also have no decorations nor present either. The party for Ms. Mimi turns out to be ruined. However, before they give up, Polly hatches a plan. Polly runs to Angelina, Marco, Viki, and Gracie. And she whips out her untouched and uneaten leftover muffin from her bag.]

Polly

[to Angelina, the other two girls, and Marco] We can (always) use my muffin as a cake.

[Polly knows she always has back-ups with plans if she has any whenever something goes wrong.]

Angelina

[takes the muffin from Polly as she has suggested to celebrate with Polly's "treats"] Thanks Polly.

[So therefore, Polly's "treats" are served. The kids are set to have Polly's treats which are the muffins that she, Angelina, and their mom had made. The "birthday treat" is Polly's treats instead of cake. That is, which is a spare muffin.]

Gracie

Here's your card.

[Gracie hands Ms. Mimi her birthday card.]

Viki

We drew it ourselves.

[Polly sets out Ms. Mimi's birthday "cupcake", which is actually a muffin with a birthday candles.]

Polly

And here is your cake.

[But Polly notes that it's really a muffin and looks at it half sadly.]

Polly

Well, sort of.

[The mouselings and Ms. Mimi have Polly's treats; muffins instead of cake. However, Polly did say it was "sort of" like a cake/cupcakes.]

[As the kids --Angelina, Gracie, Vicki, and Marco-- are playing their birthday song. Polly --on the other hand-- snuggles on to Ms. Mimi's lap. Ms. Mimi gently scoops up Polly and gently sits her --Polly-- down on her lap. She holds Polly close and hugs her --Polly-- on the belly and waist. Then she says...!]

Ms. Mimi

To be very good, all a gift needs is to have lots of love in it.

[Polly hands Ms. Mimi the muffin with the birthday candle on it. Ms. Mimi --even though the real birthday cake was ruined-- does like muffins too.]

[The others --Gracie, Vicki, and Marco-- have heard the word "crickets" from Alice. That is, since Alice was going to read the "pretend class" --Gracie, Vicki, and Marco-- the story "Goldi-Mouse and the Three Crickets". Then --after the trio heard the word "crickets"-- they perform the chant "The Camembert Cheer".]

Alice

Now what are they doing?

Angelina

The Camembert Cheer!

Alice

That's not fair! I was going to read my story!

Angelina

I know. But..!

[Gracie, Vicki, and Marco are trying to do the "Camembert Cheer" which was taught by Ms. Mimi on them even though they should know that it is Alice's turn.]

Camembert kids never--

[But before they can say the last word of their chant --The Camembert Cheer-- which is "Camembert kids never stop!", Alice --who gets to the last straw-- screams out a big, long, "STOP". She says it with her head shaking violently.]

Alice

STOPPPPP!!!

[The others --Vicki, Gracie, and Marco-- stop chanting.]

Alice

IT'S...! MY...! TURN!!!
