Mrs. Mouseling quotes from Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps

Angelina

Don't worry, mom. We'll be the responsible mouselings of all in Mouse Land.

Angelina

Not at all.

[Polly reveals the lunch bags and Angelina gets them]

Angelina

Oops.

[She reveals the ice skates and Alice gets them]

Alice

Double oops.

[Angelina tries to talk her mom into letting her and Gracie and Vicki have a sleepover. Mrs. Mouseling is playing cards with Polly]

Angelina

[asks her mother about a sleepover] Please, can Gracie and Viki sleep over? Please? Please?

[Mrs. Mouseling is playing cards with Polly. Then she turns to Angelina]

[Mrs. Mouseling tries to warn Angelina that a sleepover might not be a good idea. That is, as she asks...!]

Angelina

Why not?

[Mrs. Mouseling says to Angelina why a sleepover might not be a good idea. That is, as she says...!]

[Indeed, that is true. True to Mrs. Mouseling's reason, if Angelina does have a sleepover, it must not be called a "sleepover". Because no one sleeps.]

[The scene cuts to daytime. When morning comes, Mrs. Mouseling turns on the light in the attic and wakes up Angelina, Vicki, and Gracie. She says a big, long "RISE AND SHINE!" in a singy-songy tone. Her "Rise and shine!" command in a singy-songy tone to the girls echoes through the attic window.]

[The girls are too tired since they were up all night.]

Angelina

Look, I think we broke lamp.

Angelina

I did break my promise. And I am really, truly, sorry.

[The scene then cuts to Angelina's school. Angelina, Gracie, and Vicki get back to school and end up extremely tired since the night before]

Angelina

[narrating] I am not just sorry...! BUT ALSO SO SLEEPY! Things are not looking very good.

Ms. Mimi

[about the girls being late for class] You girls are late.

Ms. Mimi

I hope you have learned your double pirouettes, Angelina.

[To practice for the performance, which is the next day, Ms. Mimi plays the song on the radio.]

[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.]

[As Mr. Mouseling reveals the tickets to Mrs. Mouseling, it is shown that there is a ticket for Mrs. Mouseling, a ticket for Polly, a ticket for Alice, and a ticket for Vicki. Then Mrs. Mouseling sadly walks over to Angelina, then she takes pity over Angelina, even though Angelina did her best.]

[Mrs. Mouseling kisses Angelina.]

Angelina

Me too.

Angelina

Thanks, Dad. Are you sure my name is on the waiting list to see "The Nutcracker"?

[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. ♪

Angelina

[narrating] The next day, something happened which made my big dreams very small indeed.

[The scene cuts to Polly and Mrs. Mouseling. Polly is crying because she does not want Angelina moving away to Metroquefort Ballet Companies Junior Ballet School --the said boarding school-- for her big dream. Because then, Angelina is moving to other places so she can travel around the world after boarding school. And starting the first "move-out", it is boarding school. And beyond that, the "Big Dream" includes boarding school, college, group home after college, marriage, and eventually having own mouselings of Angelina's own. That is, and not just boarding school. Because Angelina is also going to face college, living in a group home after college, marriage, and eventually having children of her own. Angelina is in second grade this year, but in the beginning of September --and after summer-- boarding school --the first move-- starts. And it takes place in Angelina's year of third grade. Camembert Academy is for school age mouselings, starting with kindergarten. But it only is kindergarten to second grade. Angelina --to repeat-- is in second grade this year. But the move --with the first one overall being boarding school-- starts in her year of third grade. In the meantime, the viewers see Polly. She is crying because Angelina is moving away. And --in between tears-- she says...!]

Polly

[in between tears] That is not fair.

[Polly wipes away a tear.]

Polly

[in between tears] I don't want Angelina to move away for her big dream.

[Polly resumes crying. Mrs. Mouseling hugs Polly on her lap.]

[The big girls --Angelina, Alice, Gracie, and Vicki-- appear.]

Angelina

Mom? Can we bring a snack?

Gracie

To take out to the park?

[Angelina sees her little sister Polly crying. And she --Angelina-- asks Polly...!]

Angelina

[to Polly] Polly? What is the matter?

[Polly turns to Angelina.]

Polly

[in between tears --and to Angelina] I am sad, Angelina. Because you are moving away.

Angelina

I am not leaving until next week, Polly. (Until after summer, I mean.)

Polly

[crying] But I already miss you.

[Mrs. Mouseling lets Polly off her lap so Polly can go to the park.]

Polly

Okey dokey.

[Polly goes with the other girls to the park.]
