Rumpelstiltskin Lines Flashcards
DAUGHTER: Ugh…I don’t know how to work this thing.
Oh, hehehe, Oh, hohoho. Do I hear human suffering from this doe?
DAUGHTER: Who are you? How did you get in here?
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: The name is of unimportance. Rather, my aim is for you! Binary code I know, I can show in this abode.
DAUGHTER: Oh, how convenient! What a coincidence that you happen to have the answer to my exact problem. Could you help me please?
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Hmm..I do fancy, yet revenue must come.
DAUGHTER: I’ll pay anything if you just do this for me.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: (grinning) Your firstborn child I shall desire.
DAUGHTER: Deal
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Alas my dear, why do you adhere?
DAUGHTER: I don’t want kids.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Then I dignify, the die is cast.
DAUGHTER: Wow, I have such a good life right now, I love this baby of mine, I hope nothing bad happens to it.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Oh Lordddd! I am here to collect my reward! (sticcato, and sharp) Gimme that baby!
DAUGHTER: I completely forgot about that! Please don’t take my baby, I’ll give you as much money as you want.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: I haven’t a care for the coin of your world! The way I say is the way I go…Gimme my baby!
(RUMPELSTILTSKIN chases DAUGHTER each other around for a while-in circle RUMPELSTILTSKIN gets tired and tries to catch his breath.)
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Aye aye aye. (pronouced ai-ai-ai) How about this maharaja? I give you til’ the moon is full as of tonight. Soon, if naught a name, I shall take your babe.
DAUGHTER: Well I don’t remember your name. How about Arnold? You look like an Arnold to me.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: (Giddy and fast) Nay.
DAUGHTER: What about Richard? You’re giving strong Richard energy.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: (looking hurt, whinning) Now, now, that’s superficial…please keep it civil.
DAUGHTER: (sarcastic) I’m sorry, but you are trying to take my firstborn child from me.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Let us expedite, by night I shalt come again. My name you must have, and if you just, I will retreat. Yet, if you fail this test, you must accept your defeat!
(Set changes to ‘forest.’ A fire is lit and RUMPELSTILTSKIN dances around it merrily. Singing a song in celeration.)
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: (singsongy but severely out of tune) “I shall bake the babe of morrows’ brew, Oh yes! I’ll have the young queen’s child. Ha! Glad am I that no one knew that Rumpelstiltskin I am styled.” (He goes on ad-libbing about how excited he is to eat the child
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: (singsongy but severely out of tune) “I shall bake the babe of morrows’ brew, Oh yes! I’ll have the young queen’s child. Ha! Glad am I that no one knew that Rumpelstiltskin I am styled.” (He goes on ad-libbing about how excited he is to eat the child while DAUGHTER sneaks up from behind a bush and overhears him.)
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: (suddenly) Oh! Goodness I must stay quiet. For no one must know what name I’ve acquired. Oh! Rumpelstiltskin I must say, you’ve really outdone yourself today.
(Set changes back to castle. DAUGHTER is front stage holding the baby closely as RUMPELSTILTSKIN appears before her.)
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: The babe is mine. Oh yes! Bless, the babe is mine. (He twinkles his fingers at the baby while he licks his lips.)
