Cinderella: But... All the ladies in the land are invited. By order of the king.
Lady Tremaine: It is the king I'm thinking of. It would be an insult to the royal personage to take you to the palace dressed in these old rags.
Cinderella: [appalled]Rags? This was my mother's.
Lady Tremaine: [Tremaine inches closer to Ella]Oh... Sorry to have to tell you, but your mother's taste was questionable. This thing is so old-fashioned, it's practically falling to pieces. [Tremaine tugs harshly the sleeve of Ella's dress causing the sleeve to rip completely]

Lady Tremaine: Now, here is how you will pay me, if you were to have what you desire. No one will believe you, a dirty servant girl without a family, if you lay claim to the Prince's heart. But with a respectable gentlewoman to put you forward, you will not be ignored. When you are married, you will make me the head of the royal household. Anastasia and Drizella we will pair off with wealthy lords, and I shall manage that boy.
Cinderella: But he's not a boy.
Lady Tremaine: And who are you? How would you rule a kingdom? Best to leave it to me. That way we all get what we want.

Lady Tremaine: No?
Cinderella: I was not able to protect my father from you, but I will protect the prince and the kingdom no matter what becomes of me.

[the King is dying] Prince Charming: Father, don't go.
King: I must. [pause]
King: You needn't be alone. Take a bride. The Princess Chelina. What if I commanded you to do so?
Prince Charming: I love and respect you, but I will not. I believe that we need not look outside of our borders for strength or guidance. What we need is right before us, and we need only have courage and be kind to see it.
King: Just so. You've become your own man. Good. And perhaps, in the little time left to me, I can become the father you deserve. You must not marry for advantage. You must marry for love. Find that girl. Find her. The one they're all talking about. The forgetful one...
Prince Charming: Who loses her shoes.
King: [laughs]Loses her shoes... [the Prince laughs, and cries too]
King: Be cheerful, boy.
Prince Charming: Thank you, Father.
