Ever After: A Cinderella Story1998

Rodmilla:
Oh, look who finally decided to grace us with her presence.

Danielle:
What do you think you're doing?

Marguerite:
Trying on my dress.

Rodmilla:
Do you honestly think that after that performance this morning I'd let you go anywhere?

Danielle:
[appalled] Do you honestly think these games, these intrigues are going to win you a crown? To hunt royalty like some sport, it's disgusting!

Marguerite:
You're just jealous.

Danielle:
[picks her mother's shoes up off the table] These are my mother's.

Marguerite:
[smirks callously] Yes. And she's dead.

[Angered, Danielle marches right up to Marguerite and punches her in the eye, toppling her over the bed. Marguerite immediately charges out the door]

Danielle:
[enraged] I AM GOING TO RIP YOUR HAIR OUT!!! [charges after Marguerite]

Jacqueline:
[horrified] Mother, do something!

[Danielle chases Marguerite down the stairs and into the manor's front room. Marguerite grabs Danielle's father's book off a nearby chair, threatening to throw it into the fire]

Marguerite:
Get away from me or so help me, God...

Danielle:
No, Marguerite, don't! Put it down!

Marguerite:
Gimme the shoes!

Danielle:
PUT IT DOWN!!

[Rodmilla and Jacqueline enter the room]

Rodmilla:
Consider carefully, Danielle. Your father's book, or your mother's shoes, though neither will save you from sound lashing.

[Danielle looks at Marguerite, who is holding the book directly above the fire. Not wanting anything bad to happen to the book, Danielle reluctantly holds out the shoes. Rodmilla snatches them. However, instead of putting the book back where it was, Marguerite spitefully throws it straight into the fire before making her getaway]

Danielle:
NO!!! NO! No! NO!!!! NO!! No! [sobbingly turns and leaves. Jacqueline watches with pity as the book burns]
