- Elf: I fell asleep, and while I was asleep, the princess pricked her finger, and she fell asleep... while I was asleep!
- Master Elf: The princess has fallen asleep.
- Elf: While I was asleep!
- Master Elf: You shouldn't have fallen asleep.
- Elf: Well, I'm sorry, Master.
- White Fairy: Elf? Elf, time to sleep.
- Elf: Oh, no. I don't want to go to sleep. I'll stay here and guard the princess.
- White Fairy: All right. Keep your eyes open. I'm counting on you.
- Red Fairy: [singing] Wool, wool, must be spun/when little girls they may become/round and round the wheel will spin/it takes a lot to spindle in/if you can, come spin the wool/and take the yarn, then you pull/round again and round again/that's how it's done/wool, wool, it must be spun.
- White Fairy: Wait! I have not given my gift yet. The wicked curse can't be undone, but the evil it does to *everyone* can be lessened now. Dear Queen and King, for I still have my gift to bring: she'll prick her finger on a spindle - but sleep, not death, this *all* it will kindle. And she will sleep 100 years, so by my gift your evil clears. She will awaken from sleepy bliss, when a true prince finds and wakes her with a kiss.
