Ballerina

Felicie: [regarding Victor's idea to escape from the orphanage] Do you have a plan? Victor: A brilliant plan! A plan worthy of my total, utter, unquestionable genius.

Victor: For the last 3 months, I have been studying chickens. I know how they eat. Luteau: [banging] Open this door! Victor: I know how they walk. I know how they lay an egg. [as he and Felicie walk to the edge of the roof] There is nothing about a chicken that I do not know. [ripping his disguise, revealing his crudely built wings] Ta-da! I call them... Chicken Wings! Felicie: [frustrated] Chickens... don't... FLY! Victor: But they have wings! They must fly! [to a chicken] You fly, don't you? FLY! [throws the chicken in the air, the chicken falls to the ground] Uh-oh. Luteau: [catches Victor and Felicie on the roof] I'm going to...! Come here, you rascals! Victor: [bravely] Goodbye! Luteau: [outraged] WHAT?! [Victor picks up Felicie and runs down the roof, with Luteau close behind] Victor: Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! [carries Felicie, jumps off the roof and manages to fly away with the help of his "chicken wings"] Victor: [joyously] One day, everyone will travel like this! [Luteau rides

Regine: The stairs, Odette. The stairs are a disgrace. I have guests tomorrow afternoon and I want my building looking worthy, top to bottom. Odette: [looking down] I understand, ma'am. Regine: If you understand, why are you entering your rooms? [walks away]

Regine: [to Odette, as she and Felicie are cleaning the stairs] Get up. Odette: [meekly] Yes, ma'am. [gets up, but keeps her head down] Regine: [referring to Felicie] Who is this? Odette: No one. She helps. Regine: You feed it...out of your wages. Odette: Yes, ma'am. Regine: I want you to air and press the linen. [whispers] Now. [Odette leaves. Regine looks down at Felicie coldly. A visibly frightened Felicie resumes cleaning the stairs] It's not clean. [purposely pushes the bucket of scrubbing water with her foot; the water spills down the steps, much to Felicie's shock, then smiles wickedly and leaves]

Auguste Emmanuel Vaucorbeil: [as he walks to Mérante] Oh, greatest ballet master of all time! Oh, most talented choreographer in the universe and beyond! He is handsome! He is elegant! He is strong! He is powerful! He is the man! Mérante: You want something from me? Auguste Emmanuel Vaucorbeil: How did you know? Yes. I have enrolled Camille Le Haut in your class. Mérante: [sighs] Thank you.

Felicie: [on her first day of dance class, shyly greeting the other girls] Hi. Hello. [to herself; when none of the girls respond] Okay. Super. [louder] I'm Felicie. Nora: [confused] Felicie? Felicie: [realizes her mistake] Uh, no, no, no, no, no. Sorry. I'm... friendly, ever so friendly. And my name is Camille. Nora: Okay. I'm Nora, but everyone calls me... Nora. That's... the name that goes with my face. [laughs] Hey, you should warm up. Felicie: [to herself, confused] Warm up? [shrugs and tries to literally 'warm up' by rubbing her hands on her arms] Dora: [amused] Oh my. That is crazy. I'm guessing you're new, my darling? Felicie: [awkwardly] You can tell that because...? [Before Dora can answer, Mérante enters. The girls quickly gather to one side of the room] Who is that? Dora: [rolls her eyes] You are joking, right? It's Louis Mérante, ballet master, world-famous choreographer, the man who performed the most fouettes ever in a single solo. Felicie: Foo-what? Dora: Turns. Really
