Quotes 

• [from trailer] 

  Prince Charming : I have to see her again.

• Cinderella : [while she and Kit are dancing at the ball]  They're all looking at you.

  Prince Charming : Believe me - they're all looking at you.

• Cinderella : I shouldn't.

  Prince Charming : You should.

  Cinderella : I shouldn't!

  Prince Charming : You should!

  Cinderella : I will.

  [She and Kit kiss] 

• Prince Charming : Who are you?

  Cinderella : I am Cinderella. Your Majesty, I am no princess. I have no carriage, no parents, no dowry. I do not even know if that beautiful slipper will fit But, if it does--will you take me as I am? A good honest country girl who loves you?

  Prince Charming : Of course, I would. But only if you'll take me as I am, an apprentice still learning his trade. Please...

  [Prince Charming invites Ella to sit on a nearby chair as the Grand Duke watches in fear, the Captain looks on with a smile as he places the slipper on Ella's foot. It fits perfectly! He takes Ella by the hand and is just about to kiss her when Drizella and Anastasia burst into the room] 

  Drizella : [apologetically]  Cinderella! Ella! My dear sister! I'm sorry, so very sorry.

  [the two curtsy to Cinderella and the prince] 

• Grand Duke : I'm sure your father spoke to you about your behavior in the forest.

  Prince Charming : Is that any business of yours, Grand Duke?

  Grand Duke : Your business is my business, Your Royal Highness. It would not do to let the stag go free.

  Prince Charming : Just because it's what's done, doesn't mean it's what's should be done. Or something like that.

• Cinderella : [sighs as she and Kit look at portraits of their parents in the gallery before going onto the balcony to greet their kingdom's people]  They would have loved each other.

  Prince Charming : We must have a portrait of you painted.

  Cinderella : [giggles]  Oh no, I do *hate* myself in paintings.

  Prince Charming : Be kind.

  Cinderella : [giggles again]  And have courage.

  Prince Charming : And all will be well.

• Cinderella : [as they're heading to the palace balcony to greet their kingdom's people during their wedding]  Are you ready?

  Prince Charming : For anything, so long as it's with you.

• [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.

  King : I love you, Kit.

  Prince Charming : I love you, Father.

• Cinderella : Please don't let them hurt him.

  Prince Charming : But we're hunting, you see. It's what's done.

  Cinderella : Just because it's what's done doesn't mean it's what should be done!

• Captain : [getting the best of Kit while fencing]  Wake up, Your Royal Highness. You're in a daze.

  Prince Charming : Oh, sorry.

  Captain : You've been off since the hunt.

  Prince Charming : It's that wonderful girl. I can't stop thinking about her.

  Captain : Well, there are plenty of girls.

  Prince Charming : But her spirit, her goodness...

  Captain : You don't suppose she has a sister, do you?

  Prince Charming : I don't know. I don't know anything about her.

  Captain : Perhaps your mystery girl may come to the ball. That is why you threw the doors open, is it not?

  Prince Charming : Captain. It was for the benefit of the people.

  Captain : Of course. How shall of me.

  Prince Charming : And if she comes, then what?

  Captain : Then you will tell her you're a prince. And a prince may take whichever bride he wishes.

  Prince Charming : Ha!

  Captain : Ha?

  Prince Charming : Yes, "ha". You know my father and the Grand Duke will only have me marry a princess.

  Captain : Well, if this girl from the forest is as charming as you say, they may change their minds.

• Cinderella : [making her entrance at the ball]  Mr. Kit.

  Prince Charming : It's you, isn't it?

  Cinderella : Just so.

• Cinderella : What's wrong?

  Prince Charming : When I go back, they will try to pair me off with a lady of their choosing. I'm expected to marry for advantage.

  Cinderella : Oh. Well, whose advantage?

  Prince Charming : That is a good question.

  Cinderella : Well, surely you have a right to your own heart.

  Prince Charming : And I must weigh that against the king's wishes. He's a wise ruler and a loving father.

  Cinderella : Well, perhaps he'll change his mind.

  Prince Charming : I fear he hasn't much time to do so.

  Cinderella : Poor Kit.

• Prince Charming : Miss, what do they call you?

  Cinderella : Never mind what they call me.

  Prince Charming : You shouldn't be this deep in the forest alone.

  Cinderella : I'm not alone. I'm with you, Mr... what do they call you?

  Prince Charming : You don't know who I am? That is... they call me Kit. Well, my father does, when he's in a good mood.

  Cinderella : And... where do you live, Mr. Kit?

  Prince Charming : At the palace. My father's teaching me his trade.

  Cinderella : You're an apprentice?

  Prince Charming : Of a sort.

• Prince Charming : Well, how is he?

  King's Doctor : Your Majesty...

  King : Never mind. If it takes that long to work out a way to say it, I already know.

• Princess Chelina of Zaragosa : You're as handsome as your picture, and your little kingdom is charming.

  Prince Charming : I hope you don't find our kingdom too confining.

• Cinderella : Is that you?

  Prince Charming : I hate myself in paintings. Don't you?

  Cinderella : No one's ever painted my portrait.

  Prince Charming : No? Well, they should.

• Cinderella : So, you're the prince.

  Prince Charming : Well, not "the prince", exactly. There are plenty of princes in the world. I'm only *a* prince.

  Cinderella : But your name's not really Kit.

  Prince Charming : Oh, certainly it is, and my father still calls me that, when he's especially un-peeved at me.

  Cinderella : But you're no apprentice.

  Prince Charming : I am. An apprentice monarch. Still learning my trade.

  Cinderella : Oh, gosh!

  Prince Charming : Look, please forgive me. I thought you might treat me differently if you knew. I mistook you for a good, honest country girl, and now I see you didn't want to overawe a plain soldier.

  Cinderella : Little chance of that.

  Prince Charming : No more surprises?

  Cinderella : No more surprises.

• Cinderella : You've nearly frightened the life out of him.

  Prince Charming : Who?

  Cinderella : The stag. What's he ever done to you that you should chase him about?

  Prince Charming : I must confess I've never meet him before. He is a friend of yours?

  Cinderella : An acquaintance. We met just now. I looked into his eyes, and he looked into mine, and i just felt he had a great deal left to do with his life. That's all.

• Prince Charming : Won't you tell me who you really are?

  Cinderella : If I do, I think everything might be different.

  Prince Charming : I don't understand. Can you at least tell me your name?

• King : You sound as if you're the first fellow ever to meet a pretty girl.

  Prince Charming : She wasn't a "pretty girl." Well, she was a pretty girl, but there was so much more to her.

  King : How much more? You've only met her once. How could you know anything about her?

  Prince Charming : You told me you knew right away when you met Mother.

  King : Yeah, that's different. Your mother was a princess.

  Prince Charming : You would have loved her anyway.

  King : I would never have seen her, because it wouldn't have been appropriate. And my father would have told me what I'm telling you, and I would have listened.

  Prince Charming : No, you wouldn't.

  King : Yes, I would.

  Prince Charming : No, you wouldn't.

  King : I would.

  Prince Charming : You wouldn't.

  King : You're right.
