- The Miller's Daughter: [Searching through straw] Little man. Oh little man. Why won't you answer me?
- The Wizard: [Coming in] Did you call me?
- The Miller's Daughter: No.
- The Miller's Daughter: Who are you?
- Rumpelstiltskin: The question is, who are you? The miller's daughter, right?
- The Miller's Daughter: Yes.
- Rumpelstiltskin: And why are you crying so? That's the other question.
- The Miller's Daughter: Because I must...
- Rumpelstiltskin: Because you must spin this straw into gold?
- The Miller's Daughter: Right again.
- Ensemble: Short Ribs?
- Rumpelstiltskin: No.

- The King: [While the opening credits theme plays] Stop!
- The Wizard: Your Majesty?
- The King: No more music!
- The Wizard: yes, Your Majesty, but why, Your Majesty?
- The King: I am unhappy.
- The Wizard: But why, Your Majesty, every princess in this world has begged to marry you.
- The King: Yes, yes.
- The Wizard: Princess Ansonia of Brazard, she who is more beautiful than even the royal swan.
- The King: Yes, yes.
- The Wizard: Princess Delgoon of Venzor.
- The King: Yes, yes!
- The Wizard: Princess...
- The King: Yes, NO! None of these names excite me. Except maybe to excite me to anger.
- The King: It will be done. Tonight. Tomorrow all this straw will be gold or I will not be pleased.
- The Wizard: He will not be pleased.
- The King: And you will die.
- The Wizard: You will die.
- Miller: Daughter! Where is my beautiful daughter?
- The Miller's Daughter: Yes, father?
- Miller: Wash your face and put on a dress. You're going to meet the king.
- The Miller's Daughter: Oh father, you've been drinking in town.
- Rumpelstiltskin: A secret for you, my queen. I don't want the riches of your kingdom. I'd rather have something live.
- [King, Daughter and Wizard enter larger straw room]
- The Miller's Daughter: All this? Into gold?
- The King: By morning.
- The Wizard: Or...!
- The Miller's Daughter: I die.
- Rumpelstiltskin: I'll give you three days to find out what my name is.
- The Miller's Daughter: What is your name?
- Rumpelstiltskin: It's-- That's what you have to find out.
- The King: Who stands out there?
- The Wizard: Your loyal subjects. Come to pay their monthly tribute.
- The King: Send me one.
- The Wizard: Sir?
- The King: Send one of those fellows in here.
- The Wizard: Which sir?
- The King: I don't care. Send me that lowely stupid looking one that's covered with dust. Who's he?
- The Wizard: The miller, sir, with his sack of flour.
- The King: He'll do.
- The King: You must spin for me just one more night then I will make you my wife.
- The Wizard: Wife? Uh, I mean to say, oh your wife?
- The King: My queen!
- The Wizard: The miller's daughter, my lord, your queen?
- The King: Yes, you toothless rube, where else am I going to meet a girl who is richer?
- The Wizard: [dignity stricken] I have teeth, sire.
- Rumpelstiltskin: And if were...
- The Miller's Daughter: What?
- Rumpelstiltskin: If I were to turn this straw into gold, and you were to become queen, would you... would you give me your first born child?
- The Miller's Daughter: He'd never make me queen.
- Rumpelstiltskin: I ask you, would you?
- The Miller's Daughter: He couldn't have been sincere.
- Rumpelstiltskin: [drawn out] Your first born child.
- The Miller's Daughter: [a pause] Yes.
- The Miller's Daughter: I miss my farm and my bed and my friends who never tell me I'm to die, even when I disappoint them.
- Miller's Daughter: Little man, oh little man? Oh, why won't you answer me?
- Wizard: [Suddenly comes in] Did you call me?
- Miller's Daughter: No!
