------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GLORIANA: Mirror, mirror, tell me true. Who’s the cutest one in view? (Blows a kiss to herself. ANNA walks into the
room.)
GLORIANA: Perfecting perfection. (She spins around and strikes a cover girl pose.) Well? What do you think?
GLORIANA: Nice?! Listen, Missy, I haven’t been sitting here since 4:00 in the morning just to look nice!
GLORIANA: Being beautiful is a very serious responsibility. (She looks ANNA over.) Not that I could begin to explain it
ANNA (Hurt by her remark but still trying to be friendly): Do you mind if I move some of your things and sit down?
GLORIANA (Returning to study her reflection): As long as you don’t mess anything up. I’ve got everything categorized
ANNA (Starting to hang clothes over the screen): I’ve never seen so many clothes before! Do you actually wear all of
them?
GLORIANA: Duh. Like I’d be caught dead wearing the same gown two hours in a row! (ANNA notices the framed
photograph.)
GLORIANA: Yes. Poor thing. Absolutely no sense of fashion. Just look at that dress!
GLORIANA: Hello? It wasn’t even in vogue when she fell asleep in it, much less a hundred years later. I’m surprised
GLORIANA: And the way I meet my future prince will make even more headlines! That’s why I work at it every single
day.
GLORIANA: Being beautiful, silly. It’s the only thing in life that matters.
GLORIANA (Suddenly aghast, as she leans forward in the mirror): Oh, no!
GLORIANA: You mean you can’t see it? How could such a horrible thing happen to someone as flawless as me?!
GLORIANA (With great drama as she points to her forehead): This! (ANNA moves in closer and closer and even closer
GLORIANA: A spot? Aaargh! It’s the world’s biggest zit and it’s picked the worst possible time in the universe to
show up!
GLORIANA: Of course they won’t notice. (Folds arms defiantly) That’s because I’m going to sit here in my room until
it goes back where it came from! (ANNA is backing out of the room.)
