    • Quotes

      Danielle: [indicating Maurice] I wish to address the issue of this gentleman. He is my servant, and I am here to pay the debt against him.

      Cargomaster: You're too late, he's bought and paid for.

      Danielle: I can pay you twenty gold francs.

      Cargomaster: Madame, you can have me for twenty gold francs. Now drive on!

      Danielle: I demand you release him at once, or I shall take this matter to the King!

      Cargomaster: The King's the one who sold him. He's now the property of Cartier.

      Danielle: He is not property at *all*, you ill-mannered tub of guts! Do you honestly think it right to chain people like chattel? I demand you release him at once!

      Cargomaster: [shouts] Get outta my way!

      Henry: [riding up] You dare raise your voice to a lady, sir?

      Cargomaster: [flustered] Your Highness! F-forgive me, Sire. I meant no disrespect. It's just, uh... I'm following orders here. It's my job to take these criminals and thieves to the coast.

      Danielle: A servant is not a thief, your Highness, and those who are cannot help themselves.

      Henry: Really! Well then by all means, enlighten us.

      Danielle: If you suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners corrupted from infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded, sire, but that you first make thieves and then punish them?

      [pause, the other courtiers look on approvingly]

      Henry: Well, there you have it. Release him.

      Cargomaster: But Sire...!

      Henry: I said, release him!

      Cargomaster: Yes, Sire.

      [Maurice is released]

      Maurice: [to Danielle] I thought I was looking at your mother!

      Danielle: [sotto voce] Meet me at the bridge.

      [aloud]

      Danielle: Prepare the horses, we will leave at once.

      [to Henry]

      Danielle: I thank you, your Highness.

    Kick-Ass Cinderella
    Cinderella kicks butt in this feminist retelling of the classic fairy tale. Orphaned as a young girl, Danielle (Cinderella) is raised by her evil stepmother and two stepsisters in rural 16th century France. After a few chance encounters with the crown prince (who falls in love with her), Danielle finds herself on a collision course with her family who have royal designs of their own. Shot on location in France, the dialogue often veers very close to preachy, but knows when to cut the politics and return to the story. And a good story it is, well acted by Drew Barrymore as Danielle, and Angelica Huston as the wicked stepmother. This one is worth the rental.
