[Angelica Carannante, the stepmother] “I’ve been waiting for 15 years for this day to come. Now look. Look. This is how it should have been. It should have been me.”

[Vittorio Basile, Cinderella’s father] “But, you see, we’re just the first chapter of the story. The best is yet to come.”

[Salvatore Lo Giusto, The Real Bad Guy] “Marriage is the only true instrument for social revolution!”

[Angelica Carannante, the stepmother] “It’s a tragedy! (…) Now, the child is under my care.”

[Primo Gemito, Cinderella’s “prince charming”] “I’ll come back for you, Mia. I’ll save you.”

[Angelica Carannante, the stepmother] “If it wasn’t for me taking care of you, you’d come to a very bad end…”

[Vittorio Basile, Cinderella’s father] “The ship observes us, it records us, it refashions us… and then it puts us on stage again.”

[Anna, the eldest stepsister] “CINDERELLA! CINDERELLA!!!”

[background song] There are ways to say goodbye / and ways to remind you who I am / without love we still can walk / so bring me back now / bring me back where we were before / where..?

[Barbara, the youngest stepsister] “Mommy, they’re wonderful!”

[Salvatore Lo Giusto, The Real Bad Guy] “Very soon, all that will be left of you will be a faded hologram…”

[background song] And where were you when everything went black / when I lit another candle to the Virgin Mary? / Without love we still can live / and if I’m wrong tell me so now / tell me where we are now / on a ship taking us far / but without love where are we going? Where are we going? Where..?
