Sleeping Beauty Script Excerpt |
|
Carabosse and her cat, Spindleshanks have smuggled a spinning wheel into the palace and are waiting for the Princess…. |
|
CARA. |
It’s working! Now for my disguise! (CARABOSSE drapes a shawl over her head. She does not notice SPINDLESHANKS, who does the same and sits behind the spinning wheel.) (With an assumed voice.) Here am I, a little old lady, who spins and spins – |
SPINDLE. |
(With a similar assumed voice.) And here am I, another little old lady! |
CARA. |
Another little old lady? |
SPINDLE. |
Yes, I’m another little old lady, who spins and spins - |
CARA. |
You can’t be another little old lady, who spins and spins - I’m the little old lady, who spins and spins. You’re supposed to be the little old lady’s cat! |
SPINDLE. |
But I want to be a little old lady |
CARA. |
You’re a cat! |
SPINDLE. |
I don’t care. I want to be a little old lady. |
CARA. |
But I’m the little old lady and you’re sitting on my stool! |
SPINDLE. |
That’s because I’m a little old lady – |
CARA. |
No, you’re not a little old lady! |
SPINDLE. |
Yes, I am! |
CARA. |
No, you’re not and get off my stool! |
SPINDLE. |
Shan’t! |

CARA. |
(Starting to manhandle SPINDLESHANKS.) You mangy, miserable moggy, I’ll teach you who the little old lady is round here! |
SPINDLE. |
No, you won’t! |
CARA. |
Yes, I will! (Throttling SPINDLESHANKS.) I am the little old lady! I am the ONLY little old lady! THE SWEET - LITTLE - OLD - LADY - WHO SPINS AND SPINS!! (The PRINCESS enters.) |
PRINCESS. |
Excuse me – |
CARA. |
Er, yes, my dear? |
PRINCESS. |
What are you doing? |
CARA. |
(Releasing SPINDLESHANKS, she jumps on to the stool and works the wheel.) Spinning! |
