Maleficent Oh come now Prince Phillip. Why so melancholy? A wondrous future lies before you - you, the destined hero of a charming fairy tale come true. Behold - King Stefan's castle. And in yonder topmost tower, dreaming of her true love, the Princess Aurora. But see the gracious whim of fate - why, 'tis the self-same peasant maid, who won the heart of our noble prince but yesterday. She is indeed, most wondrous fair. Gold of sunshine in her hair, lips that shame the red red rose. In ageless sleep, she finds repose. The years roll by, but a hundred years to a steadfast heart, are but a day. And now, the gates of a dungeon part, and our prince is free to go his way. Off he rides, on his noble steed, a valiant figure, straight and tall! To wake his love, with love's first kiss. And prove that "true love" conquers all!

Merryweather I'd like to turn her into a fat ol' - hop toad.

Fauna Now, dear, that isn't a very nice thing to say.

Maleficent It's *incredible*! *Sixteen years* and not a *trace* of her! She couldn't have vanished into thin air!

Maleficent's goon Yep, yep, everywhere. We *all* did.

[the rest of the goons chatter in agreement]

Maleficent And what about the town? The forests? The *mountains*?

Queen Leah [clutching the baby Aurora] Oh no!

[Maleficent laughs]

King Stefan Seize that creature!

Maleficent Stand back, you fools!

[laughing, she disappears in a burst of green fire]

Flora Don't despair, Your Majesties. Merryweather still has *her* gift to give.

Chorus [singing] Sweet Aurora...

Maleficent Touch the spindle. Touch it, I say!

[Aurora pricks her finger on the spindle; the fairies enter the room, but gasp when they see Maleficent]

Maleficent You poor, simple fools. Thinking you could defeat me. *Me*, the mistress of all evil! Well, here's your precious *princess*!

[she pulls her cape back to reveal Aurora collapsed in sleep; laughing, she disappears]

Merryweather Since the day you were born.

Fauna To Prince Phillip, dear.

Merryweather A princess.

Fauna And you are, dear.

Flora Princess Aurora. Tonight we're taking you back to your father, King Stefan.

Princess Aurora But... but I can't! He's coming here tonight. I promised to meet him.

[Fauna finishes lighting the candles on Aurora's birthday cake and it begins to fall over]

Fauna Well, what do you think of it?

Flora Why, it... it's a very unusual cake, isn't it?

Fauna Yes... of course, it will be much stiffer after it's baked.

Flora Of course, dear. Well, what do you think of the dress?

[Aurora's dress which Merryweather is wearing is revealed to be in worse shape than the cake]

Fauna Well, uh, it's... it's not exactly the way it is in the book, is it...?

Flora Oh, I improved it. But perhaps if I added a few more ruffles... eh, what do you think?

Fauna Um, I think so. What do you think, Merryweather?

Merryweather I think we've had *enough* of this nonsense! I think we ought to think of Rose, and what *she'll* think of this mess!

[stalks off and the dress falls apart]

Merryweather I still think what I thunk before: I'm going to get those wands.

[exits]

Fauna You know, I think she's right.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Flora I'll turn her into a flower.

Merryweather Maleficent?

Flora [chuckles] No, no, dear. The princess.

Fauna Oh, she'd make a lovely flower.

Merryweather It hasn't any.

Fauna That's right.

Flora She'll be perfectly safe.

Merryweather Until Maleficent sends a frost.

Flora [laughs, then stops abruptly] Yes... oh dear.

Fauna She always ruins your nicest flowers.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Merryweather Sweet princess, if through this *wicked* witch's trick, a spindle should your finger prick... a ray of hope there still may be in this, the gift I give to thee. Not in death, but just in sleep, the fateful prophecy you'll keep. And from this slumber you shall wake, when true love's kiss, the spell shall break.

🧡

Maleficent *Well*, quite a glittering assemblage, King Stefan. Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and...

King Hubert To the wedding!

King Stefan Now, be reasonable, Hubert. After all, Aurora knows nothing about all this.

King Hubert Well?

King Stefan Well, it may come as quite a shock.

King Hubert [Spits out his wine] Shock? My Phillip a shock? What's wrong with my Phillip?

King Stefan Nothing, Hubert. I only meant...

King Hubert Why doesn't your daughter like my son?

King Stefan Now, now...

King Hubert I'm not so sure my son likes your daughter!

King Stefan Now, see here...

King Hubert I'm not so sure my grandchildren want you for a grandfather!

King Stefan Why you, you, unreasonable, pompous, blustering old windbag!

King Hubert Unreasonable, pompous... En garde, sir!

[Reaches for his sword, but grabs a fish by mistake]

King Stefan I warn you, Hubert. This means war!

King Hubert [Fighting] Forward! For honor! For country! For...

[Realizes he's fighting with a fish; they both start laughing]

King Hubert What's this all about, anyway?

King Stefan Nothing, Hubert. Absolutely nothing.

King Hubert Those children are bound to fall in love with each other!

King Stefan Precisely. And as for grandchildren, I'll have the royal woodcarvers start work on the cradle tomorrow.

King Hubert Splendid! King-sized, of course.

King Stefan Certainly! To the Woodcarvers' Guild!

[after the fairies place the sleeping Aurora on the bed in the highest castle tower]

Fauna [sadly] Poor King Stefan and the Queen.

Merryweather They'll be heartbroken when they find out.

Flora [wiping away a tear] They're not going to.

Merryweather They aren't? But...

Flora We'll put them *all* to sleep, until Rose awakens.

[preparing for Aurora's birthday party]

Merryweather But, I never baked a *fancy* cake.

Flora Oh, you won't have to, dear!

Fauna [gleefully] *I'm* going to bake the cake!

Merryweather *You*?

Flora Oh, she's always wanted to, dear, and this is her last chance.

Merryweather [doubtfully] Well...

Fauna I'm going to make it 15 layers with pink and blue forget-me-nots.

Fauna And *I'm* making the dress.

Merryweather But you can't sew! And she's *never* cooked!

Flora Oh-ho-ho, it's simple.

King Hubert Built, man! Finished! Lovebirds can move in tomorrow.

King Stefan Tomorrow? But Hubert, they're not even married yet.

King Hubert Ha ha, we'll take care of that tonight. To the wedding!

King Hubert Getting my Phillip, aren't you?

King Stefan Yes, but...

King Hubert Want to see our grandchildren, don't we?

Flora [to Aurora, seating her before a mirror] And now dear, if you'll just sit here. This one last gift, dear child, for thee.

[she, Fauna, and Merryweather magically conjure up a crown]

Flora The symbol of thy royalty.

[as she ceremoniously places the crown on Aurora's head]

Flora A crown to wear in grace and beauty; as is thy right, and royal duty.

[Aurora puts her head in her arms and weeps]

Fauna [comfortingly] Now, dear...

Flora Come. Let her have a few moments alone.

[they walk out]

Merryweather It's that boy she met.

Fauna Whatever are we going to do?

[back in the room, the fire goes out and a hovering green flame appears; Aurora rises, entranced, and begins walking toward it to eerie music]

Merryweather [irked] Ooh, I don't see why she has to marry any old... *prince*!

Fauna Now, that's not for us to decide, dear.

[Aurora continues to follow the flame; a doorway appears in the fireplace]

Fauna [to Flora] Maybe we *should* tell King Stefan about the boy.

Merryweather Well, why don't we?

Flora [listening at the door] Listen!

[gasps]

Flora Maleficent! Rose!

[they rush in]

Flora Flora, Fauna: Rose!

Narrator Thus on this great and joyous day did all the kingdom celebrate the long-awaited royal birth. And good King Stefan and his Queen made welcome their lifelong friend.

Lord Duke Their royal hignesses-King Hubert and Prince Phillip!

Narrator Fondly had these monarchs dreamed one day their kingdoms to unite. Thus, today, they announced that Phillip, Hubert's son and heir, to Stefan's child would be betrothed. And so to her, his gift he brought, and looked unknowing on his future bride.

Lord Duke [trumpet fanfare sounds again; then we see a beam of light shine down into the great hall to reveal the Good Fairies' entrance] Their most honored and exalted excellencies-the Three Good Fairies! Mistress Flora, Mistress Fauna, and Mistress Merryweather!

Narrator And so for sixteen long years, the whereabouts of the princess remained a mystery. While deep in the forest, in a woodcutter's cottage, the good fairies carried out their well-laid plan. Living like mortals, they had reared the child as their own, and called her Briar Rose.

[we see Briar Rose humming as she opens the shutters of an upstairs window, then she dusts the windowsill]

Narrator On this, her sixteenth birthday, the three good fairies had planned a party and something extra-special - for a surprise.

🧡

🥱

Maleficent I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation.

Merryweather You weren't wanted.

Maleficent Not wa-? Oh, dear, what an awkward situation. I had hoped it was merely due to some oversight. Well, in that event, I'd best be on my way.

Queen Leah And... you're not offended, Your Excellency?

Maleficent Why, no, Your Majesty. And to show I bear no ill will, I, too, shall bestow a gift on the child.

[Flora with her magic to make someone sleep to the King Stefan, the King Hubert and the Queen Leah]

Flora Yes? Yes?

[the King Hubert he's already asleep but Flora he asks]

Flora The peasant girl? Who is she? Where did he meet her?

King Hubert Just some peasant girl her met...

Flora Where? Where?

King Hubert Once upon a dream.

🥱

Narrator So the king and his queen watched with heavy hearts as their most precious possession, their only child, disappeared into the night.

[Flora, Fauna and Merryweather they take the baby and left to castle in secret during the night towards the forest]

Narrator Many sad and lonely years passed by for King Stefan and his people. But as the time for the princess' sixteenth birthday drew near, the entire kingdom began to rejoice. For everyone knew that as long as Maleficent's domain, the Forbidden Mountains, thundered with her wrath and frustration, her evil prophecy had not yet been fulfilled.

[Queen Leah awakens and Stefan yawns and awakes and wakes Hubert up and clears his throat]

King Stefan Oh, ah, forgive me, Hubert, the wine... Now, uh you were saying?

King Hubert I was? Oh, yes.

[he clears his throat]

King Hubert Well, after all, Stefan, this is the fourteenth century.

King Stefan Yes, you said that a moment ago.

King Hubert Well, to come right to the point, my son Phillip says he's going to marry...

[Hubert is interrupted by a fanfare, or to be more precise, by the first notes from the royal national anthem of the Kingdom of France, adapted by Peter Tchaikovsky. The fairies watch the scene from a balcony as Aurora and Phillip appear arm in arm, walking down the stairs from above.]

King Stefan It's Aurora, she's here!

King Hubert [wipes his eyes, mouth open] And Phillip!

[Aurora and Phillip kneel down before the throne. Aurora then fondly embraces her parents]

King Hubert [to Phillip] What does this mean, boy? I don't...

[Aurora kisses Hubert on the cheek]

King Hubert But, but...

[Aurora and Phillip start dancing]

King Hubert [shakes his head] I don't understand.
