Cinderella: I still can't believe I'm going to live in a castle. Are you sure
this isn't just a dream?
Prince: You're a princess now. Princess Cinderella.
King: She won't even know the first thing about being a princess. She just
got back from her honeymoon. It's going to be your duty to prepare the girl.
Grand Duke: Your Majesty, I am honored.
King: Not you, ninny. Prudence!
Prudence: Of course not you. He wants the job done right the first time.
King: The royal banquet will be Cinderella's responsibility now.
Prudence: The royal banquet?
King: You'll teach her everything she needs to know.
Prudence: But, Sire, she won't know anything about planning a royal banquet.
Cinderella: I don't know anything about planning a royal banquet. Oh, well.
At least I can stay past midnight.
Prince: Perfect! And I'll be right by your side.
King: I have to go? Now?
Prince: Father, I can't just abandon my princess! Not with the royal banquet
only two days away.
King: Nonsense! We have important matters of state to attend to. Important
matters of state!
Prince: Eh, Father--She hasn't had time to prepare. She's never been a
princess before.
Grand Duke: I dare say, Majesty, you do like your banquets just so, eh? It's
a great deal to ask of the poor girl.
King: Nonsense!
Prudence: Your Majesty, I can take care of the preparations as I always do.
King: Just show her what to do! We have a princess now. It's her duty to plan
the banquet. And the king's duty to…endure it.
Cinderella: Yes, Your Majesty.
King: Now off we go! Thank you.
Prince: I'm sorry I have to rush off.
Cinderella: Don't worry. I'll be fine.
Prince: I know you're gonna surprise us with an incredible feast.
Cinderella: I just hope you're not too surprised.
