Gracie quotes from Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps

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 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!!!

[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.]

Ms. Mimi

The only dance you can do on this state, it is "Sleeping Beauty". So, I am going to have to ask you three to go home and go straight to bed.

[Then she talks to the girls about a make-up rehearsal. That is, after she tells them that "Sleeping Beauty" is the only dance that they can do in this stage. From her --Ms. Mimi's-- previous quote, she says, "The only dance that you can do in this stage is Sleeping Beauty". Then she --Ms. Mimi-- next says...!]

Ms. Mimi

Then we have a make-up rehearsal later this afternoon.

[Gracie mentions that she and Angelina and Viki have the fair. That is, the Silly Hat Carnival. And she knows that she and the others may have to miss it since they are going to do an afternoon rehearsal for a make-up rehearsal.]

Gracie

But that is when the carnival starts...!

Ms. Mimi

Mm-hmm.

Angelina

Oh no.

[After Angelina and Gracie have mentioned the fair since they had made their silly hats the night before, Ms. Mimi starts with the options.]

Ms. Mimi

[to Angelina, Gracie and Vicki] Well, if you like, you can do the carnival and miss the rehearsal.

Gracie

[smiles] We can?

Ms. Mimi

Yes.

[But Ms. Mimi has another option if the girls go to the fair.]

Ms. Mimi

But if you miss the rehearsal, then you miss out the performance.

[Soon, the girls --Angelina, Gracie, and Viki-- have the choice between the performance or the carnival. If they go to the rehearsal and practice, they get to be in the performance. But if they go to the fair and miss the rehearsal, they are going to have to miss the performance.]

Angelina

Oh no.

Ms. Mimi

If you have not rehearsed, that would be not fair to the dance, the audience, nor to yourselves. Think about it girls. It's your decision.

[Angelina is trying to get Alice a trick out to get her to be sad in the sad rhyme from the poem. Because Alice's character in the poem is the sad part/sad verse. Meanwhile, the scene cuts to another picnic table at the lunchtime theater. That is, where Gracie and A.Z are sitting in. Gracie sits next to A.Z at lunch in the lunchtime theater. She --Gracie-- looks at A.Z's moldy cheese --in his lunch-- and becomes disgusted about the stinky smell from the moldy cheese. That is, as a stinky scent from the moldy cheese comes out and catches up into Gracie's nose.]

Gracie

[to A.Z] P.U! MOLDY CHEESE! KEEP THAT AWAY FROM ME!

[Gracie --after the scent from the stinky and moldy cheese gets into her nose-- smells the stinky and moldy cheese, turns her head away, and pinches up her nose from the moldy cheese's stinky smell.]

Gracie

[stinking her nose] PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!

[Gracie walks away from the lunch table A.Z is sitting at --pinching up her nose. She gets disgusted because someone would ever have moldy cheese in their lunch.]

Alice

Great rhyming, Gracie. But that is still not helping.

[Gracie --stinking up her nose-- tells Alice about the stinky smell coming from the moldy cheese in A.Z's lunchbox. That is, as she says...!]

Gracie

[through a pinched-up nose] That wasn't supposed to rhyme! I meant it!

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.]
