  Ella : I know.

  [kisses him] 

• [Ella confronts three thugs who have captured Slannen] 

  Ella : Look, I think it's only fair to warn you that I'm practiced in the ancient art... of Origami!

  Bluto : Paper folding?

  Ella : Oh... I was hoping you wouldn't know what that was.

• Hattie : Ella stop kissing him. You are never to kiss him again.

  Ella : You wanna bet?

  [takes her mother's necklace from Hattie and turns back to Char] 

  Char : Marry me?

  Ella : Now that I'll do.

• Ella : Oh, my stepsister Hattie would die if she knew I was here. She's the, uh, the president of your fan club you know.

  Char : Oh, Hattie, yah. Thank you. Now I know what name to put on the restraining order.

• Char : Ella, tell me how you really feel about me.

  Ella : I love you.

• Char : Traveling with an elf? What? Your boyfriend couldn't make it?

  Ella : No.

  Char : [disappointed]  Oh.

  Ella : Because I don't have a boyfriend.

  Char : [happily]  Oh.

  Ella : What about you? Your girlfriend doesn't mind being left alone?

  Char : I don't have a girlfriend.

  Ella : [happily]  Oh.

  Char : I have many.

  Ella : [disappointed]  Oh.

  Char : I'm kidding, you shouldn't believe everything you read in Medieval Teen.

  [sees Ella for the first time and is smitten] 

  Char : ...call me Char.

• Hattie : Hold your tongue, Ella.

  [Ella literally holds her tongue] 

  Prof. Edith : Ella!

  Ella : [still holding her tongue]  My tongue itches.

  [scratches her tongue] 

  Prof. Edith : Well, if you're not going to take this seriously, I will have to appoint the winner as Hattie.

• Ella : Slannen doesn't sing.

  Koopooduk : Well what about you then?

  Ella : Oh no... I couldn't... I - - please don't.

  Koopooduk : Sing!

  [Ella bursts into "Somebody to Love"] 

• Char : Tell me, do you get a kick out of near-death experiences?

  Ella : No, I was fine, I had things well in hand.

  Char : Oh, yes, I could see that as you were dangling over the boiling cauldron. No doubt lulling the ogres into a false sense of security.

• Ella : I wonder if my opponent is basing her opinion on the Prince's politics or how cute she thinks his butt is?

• Mandy : I love you too, my little pookie pages.

  Benny : Not as much as I love you, cuddlebuns.

  Mandy : Ohh, I love you more!

  Ella : Okay! Lots of love, moving on.

• [Ella and Char arrive at the giants' wedding party] 

  Char : I hope this is a good idea. They must hate the royal family.

  Ella : No, they'll respect your courage at showing up here. Besides they don't hold grudges... they're bigger than that.

• NiSSh : How do you like to be eaten? Baked? Boiled? Shish-kabobed?

  Ella : How about free range?

• Ella : Now, I need you to go back into the forest and rally all the elves and giants you can find.

  Slannen the Elf : You want me to go back in there?

  Ella : Yes. You're going to need all the help you can get. Now someone has to get back into the castle, find Benny and then keep Char away from Edgar.

  Slannen the Elf : Why? What's going on?

  Ella : I already told you, I can't tell you, but... but if you don't, you might be stuck singing "Kum-ba-ya" for the rest of your life!

• Slannen the Elf : Into the forest of certain death goes Slannen.

  Ella : Thank you!

• Ella : I've met Prince Charmont, and I think he might be different from his uncle.

  Slannen the Elf : Why? Cause he's a hunk?

  Ella : No...

  Slannen the Elf : What is he, about 6 foot?

  Ella : Yeah, about.

  Slannen the Elf : Yeah, I hate the guy already.

• Char : Well, that's on our way back to Lamia. We'll accompany you.

  Ella : Well, that's not necessary.

  Char : But it makes it so much easier rescuing you if I don't have to commute.

• Hattie : Just admit you're stupid and don't know what you're talking about.

  Ella : I'm stupid and I don't know what I'm talking about.

• Koopooduk : That's a fine young man you have here.

  Ella : Oh, he's not fine - I - I mean, mine. He is fine, but uh-uh-never mind.

• Char : You're the first maiden who hasn't swooned at the sight of me.

  Ella : Then maybe I've done you some good.

• [about Slannen the Elf and Brumhilda the Giant] 

  Ella : I've seen weirder couples... none that immediately come to mine, but still...

• Ella : I think you're gonna be a great king some day.

• Ella : You're about to become king. You'll have the power to make a difference in the world, and you don't even care.

  Char : It's not like I asked to become king. I have no say in the matter.

  Ella : Well thanks to your uncle, there are a lot of people who have no say in the matter. Nobody should be forced to do things they don't want to do. Take it from somebody who knows.

• Hattie : It's me he's going to have at his coronation.

  Ella : Yeah, in the middle of the table with an apple in your mouth.

• Benny : Looks like she's getting herself an FWI.

  Ella : An FWI?

  Benny : Flying while intoxicated.

• Ella : I don't need your chivalry, thanks. And I have no intention of curtsying either, so you can *forget it.*

  Char : Uh, well, you can curtsy or not, that's your choice. There's really nothing I can do about it. Except to have you beheaded, but that seems a bit extreme.

  Ella : Charming. Why don't you do what your people usually do? Steal my land, and then destroy my livelihood. Now, if you'll excuse me...

  [walks off, on her way] 

  Char : Wait a second!

  [snaps his fingers] 

  Char : Come back here!

  [and as is Ella's curse, her spell kicks in] 

• Char : Ella of Frell you're not like other girls.

  Ella : You have no idea.

• Ella : Why don't you like music?

  Slannen the Elf : Oh that's right, because elves are supposed to be so happy and joyful all the time. Singin' and dancin' for the *man*. I don't want to be an entertainer. I want to be...

  Ella : What?

  Slannen the Elf : Nothin...

  Ella : No, what were you going to say.

  Slannen the Elf : Forget it. It's silly.

  Ella : Please tell me.

  Slannen the Elf : I want to be a lawyer.

  Benny : I guess that would be in small claims court.

• [a bunch of other girls are cheering for Prince Charmont] 

  Ella : Say no to Ogrecide!

• NiSSh : You, into the pot.

  [Ella walks over to pot] 

  Slannen the Elf : Forget them!

  Ella : [turns around in surprise at ogres]  Who are you?

  NiSSh : I am the ogre, NiSSh. We just did this. Didn't we just do this? All right. That's enough fun and games. Now keep your mouth shut...

  [Ella closes her mouth] 

  NiSSh : ...and don't move.

  [Ella freezes] 

• Fairy Administrator : Can I help you?

  Ella : Hello. I'm looking for Lucinda Perryweather. Actually, its kinda urgent.

  Fairy Administrator : Sorry toots, she was kicked out last week.

  Ella : Do you know where I can find her?

  Fairy Administrator : Nope.

  Ella : [franticly]  No, you don't understand! If I don't find her by tonight, something terrible is going to happen!

  Fairy Administrator : Finding her would be something terrible.

• Ella : You know Char and his uncle are responsible for the segregation of the kingdom.

  Hattie : Who cares, he's dreamy.

• Ella : Oh, I forgot. The elfin restrictions Sir Edgar passed.

  Slannen the Elf : No elf can be engaged in any profession other than singing, juggling or...

  Ella , Slannen the Elf : ...tomfoolery.

• Edgar : I trust you found everything to your satisfaction?

  Ella : Yes, thank you.

  Edgar : Good, good.

  [Edgar knocks book off table] 

  Edgar : Oh, dear. How clumsy of me. Pick it up.

  [Ella picks it up] 

  Edgar : Very good. Now touch your toes.

  Ella : [touching her toes]  Oh, no.

  Edgar : Oh, yes. And while you're about it, why don't you pat your head and rub your tummy at the same time?

  [Ella does so] 

  Edgar : Now jump up and down.

  Ella : [jumping up and down]  Please stop.

  Edgar : Wait. Perhaps you know this one.

  [sings] 

  Edgar : Put your left foot in...

  [Ella puts left foot in] 

  Edgar : ...put your left foot out...

  [Ella puts left foot out] 

  Edgar : ...put your left foot in...

  [Ella puts left foot in] 

  Edgar : ...and shake it all about. Shake, shake, shake. Shake, shake, shake.

  [Ella shakes] 

  Edgar : Shake your booty. Shake your booty.

  [Ella shakes booty] 

  Edgar : Oh ho! This is fabulous!

  Heston : Hate to be a party pooper, but Edgar, evil plans, remember?

  Edgar : Yes, you're right

  [to Ella] 

  Edgar : Okay, stop.

• Ella : [hearing a noise in the forest]  What was that?

  Benny : Probably something that wants to eat us.

• Ella : [storms into the room]  Drop that crown!

• Ella : [during the opening of the mall Ella stand on a planter, holding up a sign]  Say no to ogreside!

  Areida : Stop the Giant land grab!

  [continues] 

• Char : [Char swings by on a rope, tossing Ella a sword and grabbing one for himself]  I can't believe I'm saving you, after you tried to kill me!

  Ella : I didn't try to kill you.

  Char : [to a member of the Red Guard trying to kill Ella]  You stay away from her!

  Char : [both of them fight back some guys]  What, so that dagger you were about to plunge in my back was just an early wedding present?

  Ella : [a guy goes to attack Ella, and Char fights him back. Benny gets turned into a pumpkin accidently. The Red Guards keep attacking]  Okay, maybe I did try to kill you, but that wasn't me.

  Char : What?

  Ella : Okay, maybe it was me, but it wasn't my fault.

  [Ella and Char duck right as a guard attacks, causing him to hit 2 guards behind them] 

  Ella : [Benny gets turned into a man and joins the fight]  ... then Edgar found out about the curse and he ordered me to kill you.

  [Char fights off a guy behind Ella] 

  Ella : And the only way I could think of to stop it was to break up with you, even though I'm pretty sure that you're the best thing that's ever happened to me.

  [while still lookingn at Ella as she explains, Char fights a guy attacking him from behind] 

  Ella : And that crown he's about to put on your head...

  [Ella helps with the guy behind Char] 

  Ella : It's a trick. It's poisoned.

  Char : Duck.

  [Ella ducks, as Char swings his stick around, hitting all three Red Guard attacking them] 

  Ella : [Ella stands up, looking around, rather shocked, at the men on the ground]  Whoa.

  Char : Edgar's trying to kill me?

  Ella : Yes. I - hold on.

  [Ella jumps up and kicks a Red Guard behind her, taking him out, rather swiftly] 

  Ella : [Ella's stepmother is appalled by the act, Heston moves through the crowd]  Uh, Char, there's one more thing.

  [Edgar throws a shield of of himself and stands. Char looks straight at Ella] 

  Ella : He killed your father...
