Ella Enchanted Page #4

Synopsis: Based on Gail Carson Levine's award winning novel, this is the story of Ella, a young woman who was given a "gift" of obedience by a fairy named Lucinda. She must obey anything anyone tells her to do. When her mother passes away, she is cared for by her thoughtless and greedy father who remarries a loathsome woman with two treacherous daughters. This modern-day, fantasy Cinderella story features fairies, ogres and elves...as well as a hero in the guise of Prince Charmont, whom Ella falls in love with. Unlike Cinderella though, she must depend on herself and her intelligence to get her through her troubles and find Lucinda in order for her "curse" to be broken!

- That's what I mean.

Aha.

- Areida, no!

- Ella, come here.

I have to go.

- What?

- I need you to do me a little favor.

Take that.

Cool! Let me try! Take that.

And that potion bottle.

OK! OK, that's enough.

I think that's for me to say, Ella.

We need one more thing.

Take those.

- Please don't make me do this.

- Well, since you said please...

No. Take them. Take them!

Run!

Stop that girl!

Buy a squirrel sandwich.

Get 'em while they're hot.

Here. Keep the change.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Coming through.

Try our new perfume.

Thanks.

Get out of the way! Get out of the way!

Ella, bravo!

Freeze!

Put your hands together.

You're under arrest.

A felon in my own family.

I could die from embarrassment.

Promises, promises.

- You are a disgrace.

- Maybe she was put up to it.

Mandy's right, Mother. We were there.

It really wasn't poor Ella's fault at all.

She was forced to do it.

So, Ella, who put you up to it?

- Tell her it was Areida.

- Ar...

I'm waiting. Tell me who's to blame.

Areida.

Areida! I might have guessed it.

- You are forbidden ever to see her again.

- What?

Ella?

How dare she come here now?

Answer the door and tell her

that you never want to see her again.

And tell her you could never be friends

with an Ayorthian.

- Dame Olga, there must be some mistake.

- Please, Dame Olga.

Don't argue. Just do it.

Thank goodness you're all right.

What's wrong?

I never wanna see you again.

Ha-ha. Very funny.

I don't understand.

We're best friends.

I could never be friends with an Ayorthian.

Just go.

I've done terrible things before, Mandy,

but this is the worst thing

the curse has ever made me do.

I've gotta do it.

I have got to find Lucinda

and get her to take back the curse.

You're right.

I have something to show you.

This is gonna help you find her.

I should have told you

about this years ago.

- But I was a little embarrassed.

- Embarrassed? How?

Well, as you know,

I'm not the most talented fairy.

Anyway, this book...

is my boyfriend, Benny.

Hey.

Pleased to meet you.

Pleased to meet anyone, quite frankly.

You're the first introduction

I've had in 20 years.

- I've never seen anything like this.

- I know. No one has.

And I don't want them to,

cos then they might take him away.

It was an accident. I was just trying a spell

to trim his hair, and it went a little askew.

I would have left her ages ago,

except I love her so darn much.

Plus, I have no legs.

I love you, too, my little Pooky Pages.

Not as much as I love you, Cuddlebuns.

- I love you more.

- OK.

Lots of love. Moving on.

Well, I want you to take him with you.

You mean I'm getting out of here?
