And she was doomed to look every day upon his beloved child. She had hoped to marry off one of her beautiful, stupid daughters to the prince. But his head was turned by a girl with glass slippers.

　　Fairy：There! One carriage.

　　Ella: You really are my fairy godmother.

　　Fairy：Of course. I don't go about transforming pumpkins for just anybody. Now, where are those mice?

　　Ella: Mice?

　　Fairy：Yes. Mice, mice, mice. There they are. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo! Four white chargers.

　　Ella: Gus-Gus, how fine you look! But how did you...

　　Fairy：Now, where are we? Got carriage, horses... Uh, footmen!

　　Ella: Footmen?

　　Fairy：Hello, lovely Mr. Lizard. Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!

　　Lizzard: Hello! You called?

　　Fairy：Now, I need that coachman.

　　Ella: Coachman?

　　Fairy：Did I say "coachman"? I meant "goose".

　　Goose: I can't drive. I'm a goose.

　　Fairy：Now, shoo! Everyone into place, no time to be lost! Come on!

　　Ella: Fairy Godmother!

　　Fairy：Yes, what?

　　Ella: My dress. I can't go in this dress. Can you mend it?

　　Fairy：Mend it? No, no. I'll turn it into something new.

　　Ella: Oh, no, please don't. This was my mother's. And I'd like to wear it when I go to the palace. It's almost like taking her with me.

　　Fairy：I understand. But she wouldn't mind if I gee it up a bit? Wouldn't mind a nice blue?
