Fauna Quotes:

  • Fauna: Maleficent doesn't know anything about love, or kindness, or the joy of helping others. You know, sometimes I don't think she's really very happy.

  • Maleficent: Listen well, all of you.

    [clangs her scepter against the floor]

    Maleficent: The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, beloved by all who know her. But... before the sun sets on her 16th birthday, she shall prick her finger - on the spindle of a spinning wheel - and DIE!

    Queen: [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.

    King Stefan: Then, she can undo this fearful curse?

    Merryweather: Oh no, Sire!

    Flora: Maleficent's powers are far too great.

    Fauna: But she can help.

  • 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.

    Flora: Besides, we can't. You know our magic doesn't work that way.

    Fauna: It can only do good, dear, to bring joy and happiness.

    Merryweather: Well, *that* would make me happy.

  • [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 isn't 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: And I still think what I thunk before: I'm going to get those wands.

    [exits]

    Fauna: You know, I think she's right.

  • Fauna: Rose!

    Flora: Rose!

    Merryweather: Don't touch...

    FaunaFloraMerryweather: ANYTHING!

    [their voices echo; Aurora pulls her hand away from the spindle for a moment]

    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 the now sleeping Aurora; laughing, she disappears]

  • Fauna: Now, yeast, one tsp. Tsp?

    Merryweather: One teaspoon.

    Fauna: One teaspoon, of course!

  • Fauna: She's in love!

    Merryweather: Oh, no!

    Flora: This is terrible!

    Princess Aurora: Why? After all, I am sixteen.

    Flora: It isn't that, dear.

    Fauna: You're already betrothed.

    Princess Aurora: Betrothed?

    Merryweather: Since the day you were born.

    Fauna: To Prince Phillip, dear.

    Princess Aurora: But that's impossible. How could I marry a prince? I'd have to be...

    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.

    Flora: I'm sorry, child. But you must never see that young man again.

    Princess Aurora: Oh no. No! I can't believe it, no! No!

    [she runs to her room, sobbing]

  • Flora: [Fauna cries at Aurora's and Phillip's wedding] Why Fauna, what's the matter, dear?

    Fauna: Oh... I just love happy endings.

    Flora: Yes. I do t...

    [Sees Aurora's dress, gasps]

    Flora: Oh... *blue*!

  • 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.

    Flora: [enthusiastically] Don't you see? A flower can't prick its finger.

    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.

  • [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.

    Fauna: All you do is follow the book!

    Flora: [putting Merryweather on a stool] Up here, dear. You can be the dummy.

    Merryweather: Well, I still say we oughta use magic.

  • [the fairies rush to the cottage to find Phillip's hat on the floor]

    FloraMerryweatherFauna: Maleficent!

    Merryweather: She's got Prince Phillip!

    Flora: At the Forbidden Mountain.

    Fauna: But we can't, we can't go there!

    Flora: We can, and we must!

  • [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.

  • Princess Aurora: [on her return from picking berries] Aunt Flora? Fauna? Merrywether?

    [closes the door, but finds the house silent]

    Princess Aurora: Where is everybody?

    Princess Aurora: [gasps as she sees her new dress draped over a chair and rushes toward it eagerly] Oh!

    FloraFaunaMerryweather: [appearing from their hiding place] Surprise! Surprise! Happy Birthday!

    Princess Aurora: Oh, you darlings! This is the happiest day of my life! Everything's *so* wonderful!

  • 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]

    FloraFauna: Rose!

    [they gasp, seeing Aurora step through the doorway in the fireplace]

    Fauna: Oh, why did we leave her alone? Rose!

    FloraFaunaMerryweather: [they rush towards the doorway; it vanishes] Rose!

  • Princess Aurora: [Excitedly] Just wait until you meet him!

    Fauna: Him?

    Merryweather: Rose?

    Flora: You've met some stranger?

    Princess Aurora: Oh, he's not a stranger. We've met before.

    Flora: You have?

    Merryweather: Where?

    Princess Aurora: Once upon a dream. I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream...

    [Starts dancing with Fauna]

  • Suzy: [Talking about Doc] So he's just hiding out.

    Fauna: He ain't hiding out. He just ain't putting his self forward for comment, that's all.

  • Fauna: The stars say that you are gonna be - oh... that you are gonna be President of the United States!

    Mack: I don't believe it.

    Hazel: I don't wanna be no President!

    Fauna: You got no choice; the stars have spoke. You'll just have to go to Washington.

    Hazel: But I don't want to! I don't know nobody there!

    Hazel: Ain't there any way I can tell 'em I won't do it?
