"The best in town!
1:01:03
"Tsk! The best! Tsk! Tsk! The best!
1:01:06
"Tsk! Tsk! The best in town!"
1:01:09
Not a quack, not a quack,
not a waddle or a quack

1:01:13
But a glide and a whistle
and a snowy white back

1:01:17
And a head so noble and high
1:01:23
Say who's an ugly duckling?
1:01:27
Not I!
1:01:36
Not I!
1:01:38
So, Lars, it shouldn't make any difference
if they won't play with you.

1:01:42
But it does. I want to play with them,
1:01:45
but they make fun of me because I was
sick and the doctor shaved my head.

1:01:50
Yes, but look at what happened
to the ugly duckling.

1:01:53
One day soon, you'll look in the mirror -
1:01:55
much sooner than you think -
1:01:58
and your hair will be grown out,
and you'll be just like the ugly duckling.

1:02:03
You'll be better than any of them,
I promise.

1:02:06
- Are you sure, Hans?
- Very sure.

1:02:11
You'd better run off to school.
You're late now.

1:02:14
- Bye, Hans.
- Goodbye.

1:02:22
Cobbler, are my shoes ready?
1:02:26
Yes, ma'am. I have them here.
One mark, please.

1:02:29
- One mark? As much as that?
- Yes, ma'am. They're practically new.

1:02:36
How beautiful!
1:02:38
What kind of shoes are they?
1:02:41
Ballet slippers. I made them myself.
Every inch of them.

1:02:45
How lovely they are!
1:02:47
Please, ma'am. They might soil.
You understand.

1:02:50
Who wears such lovely things?
1:02:52
A lady who dances.
Her feet twinkle like little stars.

1:02:57
I assure you, the slippers won't even
be noticed - she's so beautiful herself.
