A real smile.

Marianne This is one of my better ones.

Fairy KingYou used to love the Spring Ball.

Marianne Dad, I'm just too old for this.

Fairy KingI just want to see the happy Marianne I used to know. Before the...the Roland misunderstanding.

Roland Hold on there, darling

Marianne Think you left me broken down.

Think that I'd come running back.

Roland Well…

Marianne Baby, you don't know me

'cause you're dead wrong.

RolandOkay, slow down there, Marianne.

Marianne What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Stand a little taller.

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.
