Orange is the new Glass, Cinderella 28-End Script

If there’s a story out there, Mother Goose is gonna be the one to tell it!

You said you knew where we were going!

Huh. That does look the same.

Goldie, you led us in a complete circle!

We’re not lost! We are just..misplaced.

(Annoyed:) Goldie..

Sure Barb. (CINDERELLA pulls a gigantic lollipop out of her orange jumpsuit and hands it to BARBARA)

Wait, where’s Rapunzel?

It feels so good to be outdoors! I’m rethinking the direction of my whole album! I’m thinking country-western.

Where did she get a guitar?

There’s no road—

How’d we miss that?!

Follow the yellow brick road?

Follow the yellow brick—

Lions and tigers and bears

Oh my!

I’m her families attorney.

Good to see you again, Mr. Bell

(MR. BELL gasps)

Don’t mind her, she doesn’t get out much.

I almost married Herb.

Herb?!

(The clicking sound of a phone taking a picture. The group whirls around to see RAPUNZEL taking selfies)

What are you doing?

Hashtag Let Down Your Long Hair

Did you already post it?

Yeah! 30 likes so far! (CINDERELLA grabs RAPUNZEL’s phone)

Rapunzel, we broke out of jail and people are looking for us! Why would you upload a picture that shows where you are?!

My fans aren’t going to tell anyone!

You’re a moron!

You know, your words can hurt, Cinderella

I don’t want to go back to jail! I don’t want people to follow us! I don’t want to be on the cover of any more newspapers!

I don’t care much for your tone, little lady

You give us those cameras!

How did you do that, Barb?

You said you only dabbled in magic!

Now lets go see the Wizad.

Are you sure?

(GOLDIE, RAPUNZEL, CINDERELLA, and BARBARA follow the yellow brick road to the Emerald City.)

Wow!

Call me when Herb builds an end table outta Marshmallow Peeps. Then we’ll talk

Do you think he can really help us escape the kingdom?

Can I quote you on that?

Mother Goose?!

Cool!

No way!

As long as we can tell it in 22 minutes with commercial breaks

What’s in it for us?

You haven’t done a single interview and people keep putting words in your mouth

Yeah, mostly guests on your show!

I’ll cover for you!

Why would you do that for us?

Thanks for helping us out Mother Goose

That said, we don’t need any help from you

Cinderella, can you be nice?

Says a felon

The things that come out of your mouth are just—

True! I didn’t say anything that wasn’t true. We can’t rely on some cheesy TV journalist!

It’s not what you’re saying, it’s how you say it—

What does that even mean?

Can’t we all just get along?

No!

Okay, fine, but can we atleast do what we came here to do? We’re wasting time.

THAT IS…actually a good point

Thank you

(to MOTHER GOOSE:) If you’ll excuse us, we’ve got a Wizard to see.

Who goes there?

Cinderella. And then some.

Do you have an appointment?

No. But we’re here to see the Wizard.

He didn’t let you waltz into the Wizards offic uninvited? How rude!

Oh, like you could do any better? What do you have that I don’t?

How do we solve this, Cinderella?

I don’t know! We’re never gping to get out of here.

Where did you even want to go?

I…I’m not sure. I just thought if I got out of my stepmother’s house, things would get better. And then if I got out of the palace, things would get better. And if I got out of prison, things would get better. I thought the wizards would help us..

Run away from your problems?

No! Well…Yeah, I guess

So what do you want to do instead?

I just want to quit. I’ll go back to the kingdom, apologize to Prince Charming, and..sit on the throne

You lived through so much, and now you want to just quit?

What other options do we have?

Did you really leave your tower just to get trapped again?

This isn’t the same, Rapunzel

We’ve gotten this far!

But how? We’re felons.

Because strictly off the record, I want to crush the prince just as much as you do

Sure, but am I really prepared to stand up to the Prince on live TV?

Nobody in this kingdom is better at cleaning up messes than you

I have an idea

(Appalled:) How sweet (CINDERELLA enters. Shh e is now dressed in a business suit. RAPUNZEL, BARBARA, and GOLDIE follow her, looking equally sharp, RAPUNZEL has ditched the cowgirl hat and is going for regal, pink Jackie O ensemble.)

Stop right there! Stop everything!

What are you doing here? Guards!

No, stop! Let me say what I came here to say. Everybody watching at home, look at me. Look up from your cell phones, your laptops. Look at the world around you! Your prince is too busy appearing on a dating show to pay attention to the kingdom.

Hey!

It’s true! Viewers at home, I ask you; how can a prince who had never worked a day in his life understand your struggles?

Hush, son, this is good TV.

But the Prince is the least of our problems! The Wizard has abandoned the Emerald City. You elected him, and he’s given us nothing but a trail of broken promises on the yellow brick road! Our Prince and our wizard have failed us. But maybe we don’t need a Prince or a Wizard.

What do we need?

A leader, and I intend to be that leader

This is very inspiring, Cinderella, but what specifically is your plan?

My plan is this: a public election to decide who is fit to run this kingdom, the Prince or myself. I want to live in a world where everybody gets happily ever after. Not just royalty, but the humble elves cobbling shoes through the night and the little wooden boy who just wants to be seen as a human being… this is for the tortoise who knows that slow and steady wins the race. Let’s change the ending of this story together

You can’t do this!

I think I just did

You can’t take the throne!

I don’t want your throne. I want an office

As the Prince, I forbid this!

Oh honey, I don’t take orders from you anymore. And soon, no one will

Oh no you don’t! Come over here sweetheart

Wow, even your girlfriend wants to vote for me?

She’s just tired, okay? And she’s not gonna be my girlfriend for long

Breaking up so soon?

Hey kid, how’s it going?

I think we’re tied!

(MORT, STRAUSS, and WOODY enter oinking. They throw their marbles into the PRINCE’s bowl and give him high fives.)

Close to a tie at least? How’s the campaign trial?

And I rounded up all your old mice friends to vote!

I really think I might win. Is that crazy?

Oh no!

What do I do?

We can figure this out!

Who hasn’t voted though?

(They think. GOLDIE suddenly gasps, rummages in her pocket, and drops her marble in CINDERELLA’s bowl.)

Goldie! You didn’t vote yet?

I’m sorry, I forgot!

FORGOT?

Yeah, but I was busy helping with the campaign and—

You could have cost me the election!

That leaves us with a tie!

Wait, what happens if we tie?

I should probably just keep the throne if we tie

Over my dead body!

Ignore him? Pay attention, who have you seen vote?

I’ve seen the three little pigs, the bear family, Snow White, Pinocchio, Mr bell, the little mermaid, mother goose, officer hare…

It can’t be..

Officer tortoise!

I cant believe it! Slow and steady wins the race! Welcome to a brand new day viewers!

(CINDERELLA hugs OFFICER TORTOISE) Thank you so much officer tortoise!

You did it, Cinderella!

No. We did it. Together
