Ella Quotes:

  • Ella: [in the trunk, voice trembling] Hello? Are you there? Why aren't we moving? What's happening?

    Lucas: [straining as he's getting ready to shoot heroine in the driver's seat] Just... Talk to me.

    Ella: I don't know what to say.

    Lucas: Tell me about your father.

    Ella: My dad...

    [scoffs]

    Ella: I hate my dad. All reason I'm in this stupid trunk is 'cause of him! It's all his fault... Such an asshole. Then my mom dies and he marries a total bitch. God I hate them... They don't even want me around.

    Lucas: Sometimes dads make mistakes.

    [pulls out of the parking spot and starts driving]

  • Ella: If it's all the same, I'd like to ride along, too.

    Meacham: Yes, ma'am. Got a kid and a dog, why not a woman?

  • Ella: I told you not to look into the light.

    Jake Lonergan: Yeah, right.

  • Jake Lonergan: Is there something you know about me, lady?

    Ella: You don't remember anything?

    Jake Lonergan: What do you want?

    Ella: I know you're looking for something. So am I.

    Jake Lonergan: Well, good luck to you.

  • [after they jumped off one the alien ships and into the lake]

    Jake Lonergan: We were flying.

    Ella: Yeah.

    Jake Lonergan: I don't want to do that again.

    Ella: No.

  • Jonathan E.: I've been thinking, Ella. Thinking a lot... and watching. It's like people had a choice a long time ago between having all them nice things or freedom. Of course, they chose comfort.

    Ella: But comfort is freedom. It always has been. The whole history of civilization is a struggle against poverty and need.

    Jonathan E.: No! No... that's not it. That's never been it! Them privileges just buy us off.

    [deep sigh]

    Jonathan E.: Look, they want me to quit, Ella.

    Ella: Then quit.

    Jonathan E.: Just like that, huh?

    Ella: But you've got to do it now. You've got to before it's too late, whether you want to or not. Look, Johnny... the next game there won't be any substitutions allowed... and no time limit. You'll die, Johnny. Everybody will die.

    Jonathan E.: No time limit. They tell you that?

    Ella: Yes.

    Jonathan E.: They tell you to convince me to quit?

    Ella: Yes, but that isn't why I came here. You have to get out for your own sake. Oh, please Johnny, please.

    Jonathan E.: They tell you to stay if... ah... I did quit?

    [Ella is silent with a plea in her eyes]

    Jonathan E.: You my big reward?

    [Jonathan walks away from her as melodramatic violin music starts to play]

  • Ella: You still don't understand why I came here?

    Jonathan E.: You're the only person I ever wanted. I wanted you on my side, that's all.

  • Jonathan E.: How are you?

    Ella: Nervous.

  • Jonathan E.: I've seen your house.

    Ella: You have?

    Jonathan E.: Well, yeah, Iook, when we played in Rome, I stood a block away and watched your front gate for a couple of hours. I was just standing there wondering what your furniture looked like. What you said to each other in the morning. What's he like? What's he do?

    Ella: He's a City Engineer. We have a jetcopter, a son, two cats and a place in the Alps. Well, you don't really want to hear all of this.

    Jonathan E.: A son?

    Ella: Yeah. We have a lot of friends. And he has a lover. We have furniture a lot like yours.

    Jonathan E.: The same taste in furniture, how about that.

  • King David: How old are you?

    Ella: [scoffs] Old *enough*.

  • Ella: The circle isn't helping anyone! You're not helping anyone cross over! You're sacrificing them to the Witch of the Woods!

  • Jonah: Well, Gretel?

    Ella: Yes, Hansel?

    Jonah: Let's slay some witches!

  • Ella: [the Prince sniffs the air as they dance] What's wrong?

    Prince Humperdink: I detect the strangest smell of pumpkin.

    [grins]

    Prince Humperdink: I like pumpkin.

  • Ella: [gushing to Rick about Prince Humperdink] Oh, did you see him today? Who's he wearing?

  • Ella: Rick! I was dancing with the prince and my dress disappeared!

    Rick: Ok, too much information, but thank you!

  • Fairy Godmother: Time to get your prince, my dear Mozzarella!

    Ella: It's Cinderella.

    Fairy Godmother: Really? Why'd you change it?

  • Boyd: [while playing Marco Polo] No fair! Louie didn't say "polo"!

    Ella: Well, he can't talk.

    Boyd: Can't talk? And he calls himself a Trumpeter Swan? I don't think so.

    Billie: Louie can't help it. Father says he's, you know,

    [whispering]

    Billie: defective.

    Boyd: Well, defect, Marco Polo is a talking game, and if you can't talk, you can't play!

  • Ella: [while Ella and Billie are playing a game, Louie stands nearby] You've got the beat, bro. Wanna join in?

    Louie: [to himself] If only she knew how much.

    Ella: Oh, sorry.

    Billie: Now see what you did?

    Ella: Sorry. It's not my fault he's, you know, defective.

  • Ella: 67 blocks is "around the corner"?

  • Ella: If we go, I just know something is gonna go wrong. I'm gonna die, and my parents are gonna find out.

  • Ella: You can't - do this, Lola, everyone is depending on you, whaddabout, your parents and Sam, Sam has never been to a school function in his life, he's only going because of you! And what about me? I was miserable until you came to Dellwood. I thought everyone's life was like mine, just doing everything you're supposed to do when you're supposed to do it, never questioning anything. Ugh, the only thing I could expect when I grew up was a life like my parents' and then... I met you. You gave me courage, Lola. Because of you I'm brave enough to be different. Don't touch me! You're a sham! The one thing Carla can't do anything about is you being Eliza Doolittle, and you're just gonna hand it to her.

  • Ella: Maybe we should just go to the hotel.

    Lola: What? And miss the concert? Yeah, I don't think so.

    Ella: We're not actually at the concert.

    Lola: We're close. Stu Wolff's only a few yards away from us. And then he'll be at the after-party with us.

    Ella: Your belief system amazes me.

  • Ella: It's a good job you're gonna be an actress, Lola, because you haven't any talent for reality.

  • Lola: I lied because I wanted to make myself seem more interesting.

    Ella: More interesting? We are 1,000 miles from home in a New York police station with a drunken rock star waiting for your dead father to show up. You want to be more interesting? More interesting than what?

  • Ella: I'm getting really scared being out here all alone, Lola.

    Lola: We're not alone. We're with an adult.

    Ella: Aside from the fact that he isn't actually with us, he isn't actually an adult. He's a rock star.

  • Luce: I met this girl... but she's with someone else.

    Ella: Does she love you?

    Luce: I don't know... no... yes... but it doesn't matter.

    Ella: [gently caresses Luce's face] Oh... it's all that matters.

  • Ella: [Coming into room dressed to go out, and seeing Luce looking rather dejected sitting on the couch] Sweet shit in a bucket,

    [Face softening as she sees that Luce is genuinely miserable]

    Ella: What's wrong with you?

  • Char: Kiss me...

    [Ella leans in]

    Char: That wasn't an order.

    Ella: I know.

    [kisses him]

  • Char: Ella, tell me how you really feel about me.

    Ella: I love you.

  • Char: Traveling with an elf? What? Your boyfriend couldn't make it?

    Ella: No.

    Char: [disappointed] Oh.

    Ella: Because I don't have a boyfriend.

    Char: [happily] Oh.

    Ella: What about you? Your girlfriend doesn't mind being left alone?

    Char: I don't have a girlfriend.

    Ella: [happily] Oh.

    Char: I have many.

    Ella: [disappointed] Oh.

    Char: I'm kidding, you shouldn't believe everything you read in Medieval Teen.

  • [Ella confronts three thugs who have captured Slannen]

    Ella: Look, I think it's only fair to warn you that I'm practiced in the ancient art... of Origami!

    Bluto: Paper folding?

    Ella: Oh... I was hoping you wouldn't know what that was.

  • Hattie: Ella stop kissing him. You are never to kiss him again.

    Ella: You wanna bet?

    [takes her mother's necklace from Hattie and turns back to Char]

    Char: Marry me?

    Ella: Now that I'll do.

  • Ella: Oh, my stepsister Hattie would die if she knew I was here. She's the, uh, the president of your fan club you know.

    Char: Oh, Hattie, yah. Thank you. Now I know what name to put on the restraining order.

  • Ella: Slannen doesn't sing.

    Koopooduk: Well what about you then?

    Ella: Oh no... I couldn't... I - - please don't.

    Koopooduk: Sing!

    [Ella bursts into "Somebody to Love"]

  • Ella: [angrily] Prince Charmont.

    Char: Please, call me...

    [sees Ella for the first time and is smitten]

    Char: ...call me Char.

  • Char: Tell me do you get a kick out of near death experiences?

    Ella: No, I was fine, I had things will in hand.

    Char: Oh yes, I could see that as you were dangling over the boiling cauldron. No doubt lulling the ogres into a false sense of security.

  • NiSSh: How do you like to be eaten? Baked? Boiled? Shish-kabobed?

    Ella: How about free range?

  • Slannen the Elf: Into the forest of certain death goes Slannen.

    Ella: Thank you!

  • Hattie: Hold your tongue, Ella.

    [Ella literally holds her tongue]

    Prof. Edith: Ella!

    Ella: [still holding her tongue] My tongue itches.

    [scratches her tongue]

    Prof. Edith: Well, if you're not going to take this seriously, I will have to appoint the winner as Hattie.

  • [Ella and Char arrive at the giants' wedding party]

    Char: I hope this is a good idea. They must hate the royal family.

    Ella: No, they'll respect your courage at showing up here. Besides they don't hold grudges... they're bigger than that.

  • Ella: I wonder if my opponent is basing her opinion on the Prince's politics or how cute she thinks his butt is?

  • Ella: Now, I need you to go back into the forest and rally all the elves and giants you can find.

    Slannen the Elf: You want me to go back in there?

    Ella: Yes. You're going to need all the help you can get. Now someone has to get back into the castle, find Benny and then keep Char away from Edgar.

    Slannen the Elf: Why? What's going on?

    Ella: I already told you, I can't tell you, but... but if you don't, you might be stuck singing "Kum-ba-ya" for the rest of your life!

  • Mandy: I love you too, my little pookie pages.

    Benny: Not as much as I love you, cuddlebuns.

    Mandy: Ohh, I love you more!

    Ella: Okay! Lots of love, moving on.

  • Ella: I think you're gonna be a great king some day.

  • Hattie: It's me he's going to have at his coronation.

    Ella: Yeah, in the middle of the table with an apple in your mouth.

  • Koopooduk: That's a fine young man you have here.

    Ella: Oh, he's not fine - I - I mean, mine. He is fine, but uh-uh-never mind.

  • Edgar: I trust you found everything to your satisfaction?

    Ella: Yes, thank you.

    Edgar: Good, good.

    [Edgar knocks book off table]

    Edgar: Oh, dear. How clumsy of me. Pick it up.

    [Ella picks it up]

    Edgar: Very good. Now touch your toes.

    Ella: [touching her toes] Oh, no.

    Edgar: Oh, yes. And while you're about it, why don't you pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time?

    [Ella does so]

    Edgar: Now jump up and down.

    Ella: [jumping up and down] Please stop.

    Edgar: Wait. Perhaps you know this one.

    [sings]

    Edgar: Put your left foot in...

    [Ella puts left foot in]

    Edgar: ...put your left foot out...

    [Ella puts left foot out]

    Edgar: ...put your left foot in...

    [Ella puts left foot in]

    Edgar: ...and shake it all about. Shake, shake, shake. Shake, shake, shake.

    [Ella shakes]

    Edgar: Shake your booty. Shake your booty.

    [Ella shakes booty]

    Edgar: Oh ho! This is fabulous!

    Heston: Hate to be a party pooper, but Edgar, evil plans, remember?

    Edgar: Yes, you're right

    [to Ella]

    Edgar: Okay, stop.

  • Ella: I don't need your chivalry, thanks. And I have no intention of curtsying either, so you can forget it.

  • Hattie: Just admit you're stupid and don't know what you're talking about.

    Ella: I'm stupid and I don't know what I'm talking about.

  • Char: You're the first maiden who hasn't swooned at the sight of me.

    Ella: Then maybe I've done you some good.

  • Ella: You're about to become king. You'll have the power to make a difference in the world, and you don't even care.

    Char: It's not like I asked to become king. I have no say in the matter.

    Ella: Well thanks to your uncle, there are a lot of people who have no say in the matter. Nobody should be forced to do things they don't want to do. Take it from somebody who knows.

  • Ella: I've met Prince Charmont, and I think he might be different from his uncle.

    Slannen the Elf: Why? Cause he's a hunk?

    Ella: No...

    Slannen the Elf: What is he, about 6 foot?

    Ella: Yeah, about.

    Slannen the Elf: Yeah, I hate the guy already.

  • Benny: Looks like she's getting herself an FWI.

    Ella: An FWI?

    Benny: Flying while intoxicated.

  • Char: Well, that's on our way back to Lamia. We'll accompany you.

    Ella: Well, that's not necessary.

    Char: But it makes it so much easier rescuing you if I don't have to commute.

  • Char: Ella of Frell you're not like other girls.

    Ella: You have no idea.

  • Ella: Why don't you like music?

    Slannen the Elf: Oh that's right, because elves are supposed to be so happy and joyful all the time. Singin' and dancin' for the *man*. I don't want to be an entertainer. I want to be...

    Ella: What?

    Slannen the Elf: Nothin...

    Ella: No, what were you going to say.

    Slannen the Elf: Forget it. It's silly.

    Ella: Please tell me.

    Slannen the Elf: I want to be a lawyer.

    Benny: I guess that would be in small claims court.

  • Ella: Oh, I forgot. The elfin restrictions Sir Edgar passed.

    Slannen the Elf: No elf can be engaged in any profession other than singing, juggling or...

    EllaSlannen the Elf: ...tomfoolery.

  • [a bunch of other girls are cheering for Prince Charmont]

    Ella: Say no to Ogrecide!

  • Fairy Administrator: Can I help you?

    Ella: Hello. I'm looking for Lucinda Perryweather. Actually, its kinda urgent.

    Fairy Administrator: Sorry toots, she was kicked out last week.

    Ella: Do you know where I can find her?

    Fairy Administrator: Nope.

    Ella: [franticly] No, you don't understand! If I don't find her by tonight, something terrible is going to happen!

    Fairy Administrator: Finding her would be something terrible.

  • Hattie: What my unworthy opponent fails to realize is Sir Edgar has done a fantastic job. He has driven the ogres out, and he has put giants and elves to work as laborers and entertainers. Therefore, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have today's thriving free-enterprise system.

    Ella: It's only free because we've enslaved the poor creatures and they work for nothing. Edgar is a monster, and I don't hold out much hope for his nephew, either.

    Hattie: Well that shows what you know aka nothing. Prince Char will be the greatest king ever. Right girls?

    Ella: I wonder if my opponent has based her opinion on the prince's politics or how cute she thinks his butt is.

    Hattie: Humph! Oh just admit your stupid and don't know what you're talking about

  • [about Slannen the Elf and Brumhilda the Giant]

    Ella: I've seen weirder couples... none that immediately come to mine, but still...

  • NiSSh: You, into the pot.

    [Ella walks over to pot]

    Slannen the Elf: Forget them!

    Ella: [turns around in surprise at ogres] Who are you?

    NiSSh: I am the ogre, NiSSh. We just did this. Didn't we just do this? All right. That's enough fun and games. Now keep your mouth shut...

    [Ella closes her mouth]

    NiSSh: ...and don't move.

    [Ella freezes]

  • Ella: You know Char and his uncle are responsible for the segregation of the kingdom.

    Hattie: Who cares, he's dreamy.

  • Ella: [hearing a noise in the forest] What was that?

    Benny: Probably something that wants to eat us.

  • Ella: [storms into the room] Drop that crown!

  • Char: [Char swings by on a rope, tossing Ella a sword and grabbing one for himself] I can't believe I'm saving you, after you tried to kill me!

    Ella: I didn't try to kill you.

    Char: [to a member of the Red Guard trying to kill Ella] You stay away from her!

    Char: [both of them fight back some guys] What, so that dagger you were about to plunge in my back was just an early wedding present?

    Ella: [a guy goes to attack Ella, and Char fights him back. Benny gets turned into a pumpkin accidently. The Red Guards keep attacking] Okay, maybe I did try to kill you, but that wasn't me.

    Char: What?

    Ella: Okay, maybe it was me, but it wasn't my fault.

    [Ella and Char duck right as a guard attacks, causing him to hit 2 guards behind them]

    Ella: [Benny gets turned into a man and joins the fight] ... then Edgar found out about the curse and he ordered me to kill you.

    [Char fights off a guy behind Ella]

    Ella: And the only way I could think of to stop it was to break up with you, even though I'm pretty sure that you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

    [while still lookingn at Ella as she explains, Char fights a guy attacking him from behind]

    Ella: And that crown he's about to put on your head...

    [Ella helps with the guy behind Char]

    Ella: It's a trick. It's poisoned.

    Char: Duck.

    [Ella ducks, as Char swings his stick around, hitting all three Red Guard attacking them]

    Ella: [Ella stands up, looking around, rather shocked, at the men on the ground] Whoa.

    Char: Edgar's trying to kill me?

    Ella: Yes. I - hold on.

    [Ella jumps up and kicks a Red Guard behind her, taking him out, rather swiftly]

    Ella: [Ella's stepmother is appalled by the act, Heston moves through the crowd] Uh, Char, there's one more thing.

    [Edgar throws a shield of of himself and stands. Char looks straight at Ella]

    Ella: He killed your father...

  • Ella: [during the opening of the mall Ella stand on a planter, holding up a sign] Say no to ogreside!

    Areida: Stop the Giant land grab!

    [continues]

  • Jean Maitland: Hey there, Ella! That's still a community tub, you know.

    Ella: I'll be out in a minute.

    Jean Maitland: You've been in there a half hour. What do you think you are, a trained seal?

    Ella: What'd you say?

    Jean Maitland: I said if you want to drowned yourself, why don't you use the ocean.

  • Ella: I'm in love with a man - Plaza Oh- Double four- Double Three. What a perfect relationship - I can't see him, he can't see me!

  • Ella: I'm going back where I can be me, at the Bonjour Tristese Brassiere Company!

  • Jeffrey Moss: Did I say I was a writer?

    Ella: No, but you're not a plumber are you?

  • Ella: Did you ever try wearin' a suit?

    Blake Barton: A suit?

    Ella: A suit - s, u, t.

  • Ella: Well, if that's the way things are going to be around here, I might as well be back at the Bonjour Tristesse Brassiere Company.

  • Chris: Kissing is like a nice form of communication...

    Ella: [laughs] Yeah... yeah.

    Chris: Right? Between... yeah, between two friends.

    Ella: Yeah.

    Chris: I don't know. Uh, I just... I wanna... communicate with you.

  • Ella: It's like you're Jesus and you can walk on water, only you're Edie and you can walk under the shower without getting your hair wet.

    Edie: Hmmm... that's just what it's like.

  • Ella: I just can't tell wake what you're thinking... *ever*.

    Chris: [scroffs] You assume that I actually think about things.

  • Ella's Mother: Do you still believe that they understand you?

    Ella: Don't they, Mother?

    Ella's Mother: Oh yes. I believe that animals listen and speak to us if we only have the ear for it. That's how we learn to look after them.

    Ella: Who looks after us?

    Ella's Mother: Fairy Godmothers, of course...

    Ella: And do you believe in them?

    Ella's Mother: I believe in everything...

    Ella: Then I believe in everything, too!

  • Ella: I only wanted a cup of tea.

  • Ella: Your shoes are getting wet!

    Mrs. Toquet: Oh, it's the water...

  • Ella: The son of cook in the palace of the Duc.

  • Ella: Who is Mrs. Toquet?

    Widow Sonder: Isn't she the crazy old woman who lives in the woods, she's harmless but she steals.

    [adjusting Serafina's stays]

    Ella: Has she always been like that? I mean has she always...

    Widow Sonder: They say she was once a grand lady and lived on the hill. But she took to reading books and went from bad to worse, stuffed her head with full of ideas, and now she's a bit addled.

    Serafina: A bit addled? Oh, Mother! She's as crazy as a cockroach.

  • Ella: Why, Mrs. Toquet!

    Mrs. Toquet: Why not Mrs. Toquet?

  • Mrs. Toquet: What's your name?

    Ella: Elle, but they won't even call me by name! They call me, Edwin and Willy and the others, because of the ashes they call me Cinderella.

    Mrs. Toquet: Cinderella... Cin-der-el-la. Such a beautiful word, I like it very much. There are other words I like very much, like windowsill and elbow. El-bow. And I like Apple Dumpling too. Apple dumpling, it's a comical word. Apple Dumpling. Pickle Relish! That has a nice snap to it! What happened to your hair?

  • Ella: Do the tropics always smell like this?

    [runs back to the woman whose hair has just burned]
