Alice Nimbletoes quotes from Angelina Ballerina

Alice

How's Polly?

William

Is she walking yet? Can she say her name?

Angelina

[scoffs] She can't do anything except cry. She kept me awake all night. [falls off the bench]

Alice

Isn't that what babies always do? [giggles]

Angelina

Oh, I'm starving. Dad burnt everything this morning, except the plate.

Angelina

[angrily] That's it, I've had enough! [storms off]

Angelina

[dreamily] Oh, wouldn't it be wonderful to be in a movie? Angelina Mouseling: Famous star and prima ballerina! Oh, I can see my name in lights!

Alice

[sees a sign] Hey, look at this, Angelina!

William

[reading the sign] "Calling all young movie makers! Enter our competition and your movie could be shown at this year's Film Festival!"!

Alice

Oh, I'd love to be in a movie!

Angelina

You will be, Alice! We'll enter the competition! I'll play this beautiful, young ballerina who, who breaks her tail and is told she'll never dance again. But, she overcomes her injury.

And becomes the greatest dancer ever!

Angelina

[ecstatically] Yes!

Alice

But, Angelina-

Angelina

I, oh, I mean, we could make the best movie that Mouseland's ever seen! We're bound to win!

Alice

There's just one problem, we haven't got a camera.

Henry

Dr. Tuttle's got one.

Angelina

[gasps] You're right, Henry! He has! Come on! We're going to make a movie! [dances out of the theater]

Angelina

[struggles] Henry? Where's Henry?

Alice

Angelina, Thomasina Tuttle was a poor farmer's daughter and I'm sure she didn't do the dirty farm work, wearing a tutu.

Angelina

[optimistically] Oh, don't worry, Alice! I've no intention of getting dirty. How are you doing with the props?

Alice

Well, I've got the rope and the broom. Now all we need is a tree stump.

Henry

[pointing, while carrying the camera] There's one! There's one!

Alice

And something to be the big hole.

Angelina

[putting her ballet shoes on] What big hole?

Alice

The one Thomasina fell down! [reading] "She laid there for ages until she-"

Angelina

[interrupting] Alice, I'm not spending the whole movie stuck in a dirty, old hole. [takes her crown out from her bag]

Alice

But that's what happens in the true-

Angelina

[interrupting] We'll do my story about the young ballerina who breaks her tail. Sad stories are always the best. Trust me, Alice. [puts her royal cape on] Do it my way and we'll have the audience in tears!

Alice

[off-screen] You bet.

Angelina

[to William] I had no idea you were so brave, William!

William

Nor did I!

Henry

Oh!

[arrives at the scene] Is this my scene?

Alice

[calling] Over here, doctor! Quick!

[dramatically] Oh, my dear, Thomasina! Your poor arm! You must be in such pain!

Angelina

[painfully] It's Angelina, Dr. Tuttle, and it's my leg. [sobs] Ow!

Angelina

[unhappily] Oh. Polly's always a nuisance. [sees Alice with her necklace in the mirror then turns around in surprise] Oh, Alice. You've got a new necklace.

Alice

[giggles] Mom and Dad gave it to me.

Angelina

[in surprise] Oh! [gasps] My mom's got some sparkly necklaces. I'll see if I can borrow one! [runs out of her bedroom]

Angelina

[enters her parents' bedroom] Um, Mom, can I borrow a necklace for the party?

Mr. Mouseling

[off-screen] Matilda! I'm going to be late for work!

Mrs. Mouseling

[gasps; calling] Coming! [to Angelina] Don't forget to give Polly her bottle. [leaves the bedroom] Now have a lovely time!

Alice

Oh, oh, wait for me, Angelina!

Miss Lilly

Goodbye, darling. [gives Polly a kiss]

Angelina

Thank you for a lovely party, Miss Lilly.

Miss Lilly

A pleasure, Angelina. So nice to have little Polly here too.

Alice

Thank you, Miss Lilly. [to Angelina] Oh, Angelina?

Angelina

Hmm?

Alice

Where's your silver locket?

Angelina

[gasps loudly, as she puts her hands on her neck] It's gone! Oh-no!
