Polly Mouseling quotes from Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps

[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.]

[The scene --after Angelina and the other girls Gracie and Vicki make their decision which had been shown at the school-- cuts to Angelina's house.]

Polly

[is prepared for the fair] Woo-hoo! Carnival time!

[But Angelina has made a good choice to do the performance and not the carnival. So she tells Polly that she is not doing the fair. Polly still wants to go, but Angelina is not going to the fair.]

Angelina

[still holds her crown] I'm not doing the carnival this year, Polly.

[This is the last time that Angelina mentions the fair.]

Polly

But, it is the silly hat carnival.

Angelina

Why don't you wear my hat?

Polly

[as Angelina hands her hat to her] Wow! Me? For real?

[Polly might be able to wear Angelina's crown which Angelina had made with her friends the night before. She might even wear it to the performance too. That is, even though Angelina was supposed to go to the carnival. But since she and Vicki and Gracie had the choice from Ms. Mimi between doing the performance or the fair, Angelina made the right decision to go to not the carnival but the rehearsal]

Angelina

Yes, Polly. It's all yours.

[Angelina heads out the door and off to rehearsals. Ms. Mimi did say, "make up rehearsal"]

Angelina

Well, I must be going to rehearsals like I promised Ms. Mimi.

Angelina

You mean, "Your big girl".

[Angelina hugs her mom]

Angelina

Big girls keep promises.

[Angelina leaves the house to the afternoon rehearsal with Ms. Mimi, Gracie, and Vicki. The scene cuts to night time and to Angelina who is now in her bedroom. Angelina --along with Gracie and Vicki-- did do the rehearsal. Now on the night before the performance, Angelina is preparing for bed. She goes to bed early knowing that she has plans for the performance.]

Angelina

[narrating] Now it is the night before the performance. So, I have big plans.

[Angelina now in her pajamas is seen getting ready for bed and preparing for the performance which is the next day. Mrs. Mouseling and Polly are watching her --happy that Angelina went to bed early.]

Polly

Look! Angelina went to bed very, very, early!

[After the performance is over.]

Polly

Mommy?

[Like Angelina, Polly --when she is in school someday-- tries to talk her mother into a sleepover with friends.]

Polly

When am I having a sleepover?

[True to Polly's question, she asks when she gets to have a sleepover too. And Ms. Mimi, she says...!]

[Mrs. Mouseling laughs shortly. Then she sighs and puts her hand over her brow. She facepalms in response after Polly asks when she --herself-- gets to have a sleepover like Angelina. This means she would not want to have Polly doing the same thing that Angelina had. Mrs. Mouseling does this as if she rather not hear the word "overnight" again for a long time. Really, she rather not hear it again for a long time. It is true that Polly is little enough to have a sleepover. But Mrs. Mouseling does not want to allow sleepovers with friends in the house. Because Polly might have the same thing as Angelina. As for the "overnight" subject, Mrs. Mouseling would also mean that the only time Angelina and Polly --from now on and forever after-- can have an "overnight" is if they do it with her --Mrs. Mouseling-- and their father Mr. Mouseling. That is, such as camping and vacations in the summer. But not an overnight with friends.]

Angelina

[sadly] I have invited far too many people! Now everyone is cross with me!

[Angelina's frown turns into a smile for planning a solution]

Angelina

[for one solution] Maybe we (me, Mom, Alice, and Vicki) could bring Polly in a very big purse...!

[The scene cuts to the said theater where "The Nutcracker" where Angelina, her mom Mrs. Mouseling, and her friends --Alice and Vicki-- have a big, giant purse big enough for a mouseling that size to fit inside like Polly. And Polly is inside of it and indeed fits inside the giant purse. So true to what Angelina says, her first idea is Polly in a giant purse. When that does not work, Angelina says...!]

Angelina

[for a second solution] Or Vicki could dress up as a pet canary...!

[The next scene shows to where the said theater where Angelina and Alice have Viki in a bird cage and Viki is dressed up as a pet canary]

Angelina

The theater, they might not allow pets.

[The third scene shows to the said theater where Alice and Viki are dressed up as a conjoined twin or "conjoined sister"]

Angelina

[for a third solution] Or, maybe they could come as a two headed lady!

[However, Angelina knows the correct truth of what would happen if she and her friends try one of those three false solutions --Polly in a giant purse, Vicki as a pet canary, or Alice and Vicki dressing up like a two headed lady.]

Angelina

[as the scene cuts back to reality] On second thought, none of that may work. Oh dear!

[Polly taunts Angelina that she is going to the nutcracker. She dances with the nutcracker doll]

Polly

[sing songy] ♪ POLLY'S GOING TO THE NUTCRACKER! ♪

Angelina

Oh, what can I do?

Angelina

[has a solution] Well, there is one thing I can do. But it's a super, super, duper tough thing to do. Really, truly, hard.

[The scene cuts to night]

Angelina

[narrating] I did the super tough solution. I gave up my tickets so Polly, Alice, and Vicki could go.

[Polly drawing a picture --now running out of paper-- asks Mrs. Matilda Mouseling for more paper.]

Polly

Mom? Pretty please with cheese...? Can I have some paper?

Polly

[after hearing from Angelina that Marco cannot speak until 6 o'clock] Oh. I don't like it when Marco does not speak.

[Polly runs up to Marco.]

Polly

[in a sneaky little sister smile] I am going to make him!

[Polly tickles Marco on the tummy. She does it to make Marco speak. So she says...!]

Polly

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

[Polly tickles Marco on the tummy --this time pinning him to the floor with herself on him-- and says the same thing while tickling him to make him speak. That is, as she says...!]

Polly

Tickle, tickle, tickle.

[Marco laughs silently because it tickles. Then Angelina laughs and taunts Marco about Polly. That is, as she --Angelina-- says...!]

Angelina

[to Marco] Sorry, Marco. I wish I could stop her. But I can't tell you how little sisters are!

[Angelina --upon saying this-- she watches in horror. Then with a sneaky smile, she says to Marco she wishes that she could speak for him, but he should know how little sisters are.]

Angelina

[to her friends] NO SHE IS NOT! SHE IS JUST SHOWING OFF! SHE IS RUINING EVERYTHING!

[Angelina is sick and tired of Polly tagging along and inviting herself.]

Angelina

[to her friends] We are never going to have our dance ready! I wish Polly just stayed at home!

[At that, what Angelina means by that is, she wishes that Polly would disappear. Angelina glares at Polly. The scene cuts to the teary-eyed Polly. Polly --hearing this from her nasty big sister-- tearfully looks at Angelina. Then she stands up and runs away crying.]

Polly

[crying] (Insert crying sounds here)!

[Vicki calls out after her and --offscreen-- comforts her.]

Angelina

[to Alice and Gracie] I am tired of Polly always tagging along all the time! She is always getting in the way!

[The scene is in Angelina's mind where Polly is having her party. While Angelina is at the carnival with her friends, Polly is having an "unhappy birthday" because Angelina is not at her party. Mrs. Mouseling, she consoles Polly and says...!]

Polly

I can't have any fun!

[Mr. Mouseling and Mrs. Mouseling look on at their youngest daughter --who is not having fun at her party since Angelina is not here.]

Polly

[before crying] THIS IS THE WORST BIRTHDAY EVER!

[Polly --after saying this-- she buries her face in her hands and cries.]

Polly

[crying] BOO HOO!

[Polly takes her hands off her face and --tearfully-- looks at the viewers in between tears.]

Polly

[in between tears and before resuming crying] BECAUSE ANGELINA IS NOT HERE!

[The --now-- teary-eyed Polly --after saying this-- she resumes crying. Then she hugs her mother's waist. She is crying because it's her birthday and wishes Angelina was part of it.]

Angelina

[narrating] Right after breakfast, Mom put her feet up. And we got to work.

[Mrs. Mouseling is reading a book]

[Angelina and Polly are singing a song called "The Itsy, Bitsy, Spider" while putting the books away for their mom]

♪ Down came the rain and washed the spider out. ♪

♪ Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. ♪

♪ And the itsy, bitsy spider went up the spout again. ♪

Polly

[as Angelina looks at the big mess after she and Polly made with the books that they were supposed to put away and made them into a tower] What is it, Angelina?

Angelina

We were going to give Mom a really nice Mother's Day (surprise and present). But we made too much noise...! [looks at the mess] And a big mess.

[Polly adds more books to her pile; then to Angelina after their said song hoping to try to get to have the same song or another song going on again]

Polly

Are we going to build some more?

Angelina

No, Polly. We need to put the books away now.

Polly

Okey dokey. [sings a non-lexical song; a song being an inanimate one] ♪ La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! ♪

Angelina

And we need to do it quietly. So Mom can relax.

Polly

[gets loud again] OKEY DOKEY!

Angelina

Shhhh! [remembers the word her teacher Ms. Mimi had told her about the day before; which was about "dynamics". Then she tells it to Polly] I know. Ms. Mimi, she was talking about dynamics yesterday. Loud music makes you want to jump around. Quiet music always makes you dance very softly. [to Polly] Polly? Do you want to help me?

Polly

Yes, please with cheese.

Angelina

I want to sing a quiet little song. Can you sing along with me.

Polly

Mm-hmm. I guess so.

Angelina

And while we are doing it, we can put the books away.

Polly

Okay, Angelina.
