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!
