Maleficent’s Monologue:
“Well, well….quite a glittering assemblage we have here this evening. And dressed in such festive, holiday attire. My, my, we have royalty…nobility…the gentry…and, how quaint, even the rebel! I really felt quite distressed at not receiving an invitation to tonight’s festivities. I am sure it was merely due to some…oversight.
(More angered) Hear me when I say, you shall not get the best of me again. Remember…I am the mistress of all evil! You should be wise to never forget it!”
If you can deliver this chillingly, you might just become the next Mistress of Evil!
