Dialogue for Film (Cinderella)

(BTW, sorry if this doesn't make any sense! The way that movie scripts are writing is a little weird, just ignore any abbreviations - I'm trying to write in the way I'm supposed to! ;) And if you're familiar how movie scripts are written, this isn't perfect, either! I'm still learning! I like feedback! And if you have a name for the Prince besides Charles, let me know. It's set in the Victorian Era...)

EXT. WOODS ROAD - DAY

ELLA and CHARLES walk side by side. ELLA has a basket on her arm.

CHARLES
And you still haven't told me your name yet. Why so mysterious?

ELLA smiles.

ELLA
And I could ask you the same question. I still don't even know your name.

CHARLES
Guess who I am.

CHARLES smiles, ELLA laughs.

ELLA
Guess?

CHARLES
Yes! By my mannerisms, the way I walk, talk, the way I dress.

ELLA
I will... after you guess about me.This is something I'd like to hear.

They both smile.

CHARLES
I don't know what to think of you!

ELLA laughs

CHARLES (CONT'D)
Well, it's true! You look like a peasant, a servant even! But your mannerisms are so noble. You walk like a princess, and act like one. But you seem to always be doing servitude as if you were a servant!

CHARLES laughs.

CHARLES (CONT'D)
And that is what I don't understand.

They walk in silence for a few seconds. CHARLES smiles.

CHARLES (CONT'D)
And what about I?

ELLA smiles, thinking.

ELLA
I may say the same about you!

CHARLES laughs.

ELLA (CONT'D)
Well, it's true! You act and look like you could be living in the palace! But you dress the same as I. Except not quite as dirty.

They smile.

CHARLES
When will you tell me?

ELLA
Soon... I hope.
