[at Princess Aurora's christening]
Maleficent:
Well, well.
[She laughs softly]
Maleficent:
What a glittering assemblage, King Stefan. Royalty, nobility, the gentry, and...
[Her laugh becomes contemptuous]
Maleficent:
...How quaint, even the rabble.
[staring at the obviously-nervous King]
Maleficent:
I must say, I was distressed at not receiving an invitation.
King Stefan:
You're not welcome here.
Maleficent:
[whimpers mockingly]
Oh, dear!
[she laughs some more]
Maleficent:
What an awkward situation.
[turns to leave]
Queen Leila:
You're not offended?
Maleficent:
Why should I be? Just to prove that I bear no ill will, I shall bestow my own gift upon the child.
King Stefan:
No! We don't want any gift of yours!
Knotgrass:
Stay away from the princess!
Thistletwit:
Yes, stay away!
[the Dark Fairy casts the fairies backward across the room, shutting them inside a chest. Then Maleficent gives the baby Aurora a pensive look]
Maleficent:
[casting her spell]
Listen well, all of you. The princess shall indeed grow in grace and beauty, in sweetness and wisdom and generosity, adored by all who meet her.
Queen Leila:
That's a lovely gift.
[King Stephan, however, seems fearful of what Maleficent's "gift" will hold next]
King Stefan:
Don't do this.
[Pressing a finger to her lips, Maleficent notices a spinning-wheel]
Maleficent:
But... As they said in ancient Rome, "He whom the Gods love, dies in youth"... he, or SHE.
[the Dark Fairy gazes wickedly at Aurora, before continuing]
