Eugene (narrating):
This is the story of how I died...and went to Heaven. Okay, here's the lineup. You see, a single drop of sunlight fell down from the sky, from which grew a magical golden flower. This old woman, Mother Gothel, sang to said flower to sustain her youth. Flower healed Queen, a baby girl- Rapunzel- was born with the flower's magical healing powers. Until- Gothel stole the Princess and had her locked up in a tower for eighteen years. And then, the princess was rescued by a dazzling, swashbuckling rouge. Now, some people may have called him a thief, but I prefer the term "misunderstood good guy."
Rapunzel
Eugene, focus.
So the princess- that's you- and the swashbuckling rouge- that's me- made a deal. we followed some lanterns, I saved you from Gothel, you saved me from death. And then you got the worlds' most overly dramatic haircut.
Rapunzel
And then I was reunited with my long-lost family. Six months have passed. I was loving life inside the castle of Corona, but that is where our new story begins.
Rapunzel
Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?
Yes. Yes I have. So how about we make you an official princess?
Rapunzel
Oh, is that today?
Very funny.
Rapunzel
Whoa. Eugene, have you ever seen anything so beautiful?
Yes. Yes I have.
That girl over there.
Rapunzel just needs some space. No one said dealing with teenagers would be easy.
Teenager or not, Arianna, she will be queen one day. I have to prepare her for that.
Guards! My child! Rapunzel!! (to his wife) I just want to protect her.
Rapunzel
What are they?
Nobody knows. They just sprouted up here about a year ago. And watch this. You might wanna stand back for this.
Rapunzel
Whoa.
They're unbreakable.
This is where they found the miracle flower that saved your mom.
Rapunzel
And me.
Told you I'd get you in and out. Piece of cake.
Rapunzel
Piece of cake!? Piece of cake? Uh, did you see the 70 feet of "my father's going to kill me" coming from my head?
So what are going for here? Maybe a bob, a pixie?
Rapunzel
Just cut it!
Uh no.
Rapunzel
What do you mean "uh oh"? There shouldn't be any "uh ohs". Uh oh.
Holy hair!
Rapunzel
Heh. Surprise.
Rapunzel
The coronation is in two hours! How am I supposed to cut this hair!?
I may have an idea.
Rapunzel
I have a lot of princess-ing up to do.
You're right, Ariana. Teenagers are a whole new frontier.
Rapunzel
The Duchess?
Oh, I am no duchess.
Rapunzel
I don't understand.
Of course you wouldn't, Rapunzel. But try to follow along. This is all your fault!
Rapunzel
What?
You see, after your untimely disappearance, your father locked every criminal in the kingdom, including a petty thief: My father! I saw him thrown into a cage and hauled away. Never to be seen again!! So now I'm returning the favor. Your turn, Your Majesty.
Rapunzel
Dad?
Rapunzel, stay back.
Rapunzel
But, Dad!
As your father and your king I command you to stay put.
Rapunzel
Sorry, Dad. I can't stay put.
Rapunzel!
(Removes the powered wig, letting her 70 feet blonde hair flow all over) Eugene (to himself): That's my girl.
Rapunzel
Let...them...go!
Heh. It's amazing what you can hide under those wigs isn't it, Princess? Come on! Let's move out!!
Now you're just making me angry!
Rapunzel
Good 'cause I'm just getting started!
Rapunzel! Your hair!
Rapunzel
I know! We'll talk about it latter! Please get somewhere safe, and take care of Mom!
Rapunzel!
You have no idea who you're dealing with!
Rapunzel
Believe me! I've dealt with much worse!
Whoa, Lady Cain, it's impolite to leave in the middle of a party.
You think you'd know that.
So I'm trying to understand this. You snuck out last night, went beyond the walls of Corona where you touched a mysterious rock that somehow caused your hair to return?
Rapunzel
Yes.
And you acted alone?
Rapunzel
Look, I know you're angry. But can't you see? I'm okay. I'm more than okay.
Rapunzel...There's something I need to tell you: I love you. The night you were taken, a part of me died; the best part of me. For eighteen long, agonizing years I swore that if somehow, someway by some miracle, the Fates decided to show mercy and return you to me, I would never let anything happen to you again. And now that this has returned, the very reason you were snatched away from me in the first place, I'm afraid I'm left with no choice, Sweetheart. As of tonight I am forced to exercise my martial right as king to forbid you from leaving the walls of this kingdom without my consent.
Rapunzel
Father!
And know this: This is the last we will speak of mystical rocks or magic of any kind. To anyone. Is that understood?
Rapunzel
There is so much more to me than you think.
I believe someone ordered room service?
Rapunzel (touched): Eugene? How did you know?
I had a feeling. Look, I just wanted to clear some stuff up. I didn't have a chance to apologize for putting you on the spot with that proposal earlier.
Rapunzel
Looking back, maybe storming out of the room probably wasn't the best reaction. I'm sorry.
No. No, don't apologize. Look, I'll admit I still don't quite understand why you said no. But I promise to do everything I can until I do.
Rapunzel
Thanks, Eugene.
In the meantime, we'll stay right here and take things slowly.
I missed this.
Rapunzel
Hey, promise me one thing.
Anything.
Rapunzel
That you'll be patient with me.
Absolutely. Good night, Rapunzel.
Rapunzel
Good night, Eugene.
Rapunzel (singing):
Back to life after happily ever after
Stuck inside once again and I'm gazing out
True, I'm in here with those I hold dear
Surrounded by their love
And for some that's more than enough, no doubt
But I got the wind in my hair
And a fire within 'cause there's something beginning!
I got a mystery to solve and excitement to spare!
That beautiful breeze blowing through
I'm ready to follow it who knows where?
And I'll get there I swear
With the wind in my hair!!
