CINDERELLA
He's a very nice Prince
BAKER'S WIFE
And-?
CINDERELLA
And-
It's a very nice ball
BAKER'S WIFE
And-?
CINDERELLA
And-
When I entered they trumpeted
BAKER'S WIFE
And-?
The Prince-?
CINDERELLA
Oh, the Prince
BAKER'S WIFE
Yes, the Prince!
CINDERELLA
Well, he's tall
BAKER'S WIFE
Is that all?
Did you dance?
Is he charming? They say that he's charming
CINDERELLA
We did nothing but dance
BAKER'S WIFE
Yes-? And-?
CINDERELLA
And it made a nice change
BAKER'S WIFE
No, the Prince!
CINDERELLA
Oh, the Prince
BAKER'S WIFE
Yes, the Prince
CINDERELLA
He has charm for a Prince, I guess
BAKER'S WIFE
guess?
CINDERELLA
I don't meet a wide range
BAKER'S WIFE
Did he bow?
Was he cold and polite?
CINDERELLA
And it's all very strange
BAKER'S WIFE
Did he speak? Did he flirt?
Could you tell right away he was royalty?
Is he sensitive,
Clever,
Well-mannered,
Considerate,
Passionate,
Charming,
As kind as he's handsome,
As wise as he's rich,
Is he everything you've ever wanted?
CINDERELLA
Would I know?
BAKER'S WIFE
Well, I know
CINDERELLA
But how can you know what you want
Till you get what you want
And you see if you like it?
BAKER'S WIFE
Would I know?
CINDERELLA
All I know is-
BAKER'S WIFE
I never wish-
CINDERELLA
What I want most of all-
BAKER'S WIFE
Just within reason
CINDERELLA
Is to know what I want
BAKER'S WIFE
When you know you can't have what you want,
Where's the profit in wishing?
BOTH
He's a very nice Prince
BAKER'S WIFE
What I wouldn't give to be in your shoes
CINDERELLA
Will you look over there, an enormous beanstalk
growing next to that little cottage
BAKER'S WIFE
I mean slippers as pure as gold
CINDERELLA
I must get home
BAKER'S WIFE
I need you shoes
Wait!
