Ever After: A Cinderella Story1998

Henry:
Where are your attendants?

Danielle:
I... decided to give them the day off.

Henry:
[incredulously] A day off? From what, life?

Danielle:
Don't you ever tire of having people wait on you all the time?

Henry:
Well, yes, but... they're servants, it's what they do.

Danielle:
[coldly] Well, I wish I could dismiss mine as easily as you do yours. [rises] I must be going.

Henry:
[following her] You're angry with me!

Danielle:
No.

Henry:
Admit it!

Danielle:
Well, yes, if you want to know.

Henry:
Why?

Danielle:
Because you are trying to bait me with your snobbery.

Henry:
I fear, mademoiselle, that you are a walking contradiction, and I find that rather fascinating.

Danielle:
Me?

Henry:
Yes, you. You spout the ideals of a Utopian society and yet you live the life of a courtier!

Danielle:
And you own all the land there is and yet you take no pride in working it! Is that not also a contradiction?

Henry:
Hmm, first I am arrogant, and now I have no pride; however do I manage that?

Danielle:
You have everything, and still the world holds no joy; and yet you insist on making fun of those who would see it for its possibilities.

Henry:
How do you do it?

Danielle:
Do what?

Henry:
Go through each day with this kind of passion? Don't you find it exhausting?

Danielle:
Only when I'm around you. Why do you like to irritate me so?

Henry:
Why do you rise to the occasion?
