[Early night]
Cinderella, Drizzela and Cinderella are all on scene in a large fancy room. Cinderella is sitting on the bed and Drizzela on the chair beside the bed as Lady Tremaine paces the floor and mumbles to herself in panic.
{Cinderella sits on the bed in a slum and hums quietly to herself; ignoring Lady Tremaine and the situation completely}
Lady Tremaine
How can you be relaxed at a time like this, they'll find out, they'll know and hang us all! Yet all you do is hum!
{Cinderella slowly lifts her head to look at Lady Tremaine}
Cinderella
Yes, but if I really didn't care I'd be sleeping.
Lady Tremaine
Oh so you're saying that you care?
Cinderella
Only for my own entertainment, seeing you in such a panic gives me pleasure, I'm taking advantage of it while I can.
(Gives a small curved smile)
Drizzela
You're a bitch, I hope you know that.
Cinderella
(Twiddles with her thumbs)
Oh you're going to regret that.
Lady Tremaine
Drizzela, come here, she says nothing but empty threats; let's go see Anastatia, if they haven't looked at her foot yet we might be able to think of something.
{Lady Tremaine and Drizzela exit the scene}
{Bruno, Jacques and Octavius enter the scene on a window ledge and know on the window with their beaks}
Cinderella
(Rises and goes to lock the door and open the window)
Jacques, you're a feathered beast again, what happened?
(Laughs at him in a teasing voice)
Jacques
Oh hush up, don't seem surprised; it wasn't permanent . . . unfortunately.
{Cinderella looks at Bruno for an explanation}
Bruno
He decided not to be a man- whore anymore, so he got switched back to normal.
Cinderella
A man- whore, what does that have to do with anything?
Octavius
Duh, duh, well you see-
{Bruno uses his wing to cover Octavius' beak}
Bruno
It's a long story, for another time.
{Bruno drops his wing}
Jacques
Another time my ass, she won't hear about it anytime. ever, you say anything and I'll kill you; same goes to you chubby.
Octavius
It's a condition!
Jacques
Obesity!
Cinderella
Both of you shut up! It isn't important.
{All three crows look at Cinderella and at each other}
Bruno
She's right; ok, update us.
{Cinderella goes to lie down at the end of the bed and all three crows fly and follow her onto the bed.}
Cinderella
Anastatia cut her feet, and she fits the glass slipper now,-
Bruno
Wait, she cut her feet, like used a sharp inanimate object and sliced her skin off to fit into the slipper?
{Cinderella looks at Bruno with a serious face}
Cinderella
Yes, yes she did.
Jacques
And why are you so calm about this?
Cinderella
Because, her foot started to bleed and overfilled the slipper, and seeped onto the floor, so now Anastatia is in nurse's care, and soon they'll learn that she's a liar.
{Bruno and Jacques exchange glances}
Bruno
Baby, if they find out that the Tremaine family lies; which you're a part off, they'll have all of you hung, you need to get the prince and protect yourself by making sure that Anastatia's foot isn't properly seen, or that you're not part of the Tremaine family.
{Cinderella looks at all three crows in panic}
{Octavius begins to laugh hysterically}
Cinderella
Shit
{Cinderella runs out through the door and exits the scene.}
Bruno
So now what? This isn't going as smoothly as we planned.
{Jacques begins to walk towards the desk beside the bed}
Jacques
Doesn't have to,
Octavius
Duh, duh, what do ya mean Jacques?
Bruno
Yeah, what are you –
{Jacques leans into the drawer to get retrieve something in it}
Jacques
I mean, we have an advantage, because we have this.
{Jacques holds up Barbra's wand}
Bruno
You stole Barbra's wand, you stole Barbra's wand! You idiot, what do you not understand within the terms of Bad witch? It means, you don't piss her off, yet alone steal from her!
{Octavius shakes his head in judgment}
Octavius
Bad boy Jacques, bad Boy
Jacques
Obesity!
{Octavius lowers his head}
Jacques
She's drunk, she ran off somewhere without it, I couldn't find her, but I saw an opportunity and I decided to take it.
Bruno
She's not going to be drunk forever.
Jacques
Do you know how much alcohol a witch needs to consume to be officially drunk, you're right she won't be drunk forever, but she'll be drunk for long ass time.
{Octavius begins laughing again}
Bruno
Ok – fine, and how do you expect to use it.
Jacques
I expect to use it as a gift, when Cinderella needs one.
{Bruno flies over to stand beside Jacques}
Bruno
And what's your idea on how Cinderella will be using her gift?
{Jacques grins and gives Bruno the wand and exits scene through the window}
