6 quotes Rapunzel Rapunzel OKAY, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I've got a person... in my closet. I've got a person in my closet. I've got a person in my closet. Ha-ha! Too weak to handle myself out there, huh, Mother? [starts twirling frying pan] Well... [laughs] ...tell that to my frying pans. [accidentally hits herself with pan]
Rapunzel [to Maximus]
Look, today is kind of the biggest day of my life. And the thing is, I need you not to get him arrested. [Maximus glares at her] Just for 24 hours, and then you can chase each other to your hearts' content, okay? [Maximus glares again] And, it's also my birthday, just so you know.
Rapunzel [after leaving her tower; happily]
I can't believe I did this! [worried] I can't believe I did this. [excitedly squealing] I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THIS!!! [nervous laughter] ...Mother would be so furious. [later, sitting on a rock holding some water lilies] Well, that's okay! I mean, what she doesn't know won't kill her, right? [rocking back and forth in a cave with her heart beating in her chest] Oh, my gosh... This would kill her! [frolicking around] THIS IS SOOO FUUUUUN!!! [standing on a tree branch, head up against the bark] ...I am a horrible daughter. I'm going back. [cartwheeling] I am never going back! Woo-hoo! [face down in the grass] I am a despicable human being! [swinging around a tree] WOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! BEST DAY EVER!!!!
Rapunzel [holds her frying pan up to Flynn's face]
I will use this...
Rapunzel Flynn!

23 scenes Rapunzel [after pulling Mother Gothel up the tower; out of breath]
Hi. Welcome home, Mother.
Oh, Rapunzel! How you manage to do that every single day without fail! It looks absolutely exhausting, darling.
Rapunzel Oh, it's nothing.
[in a sing-song voice]
Then I don't know why it takes so long! Oh, darling, I'm just teasing.
Rapunzel!
Rapunzel So, Mother, earlier I was saying tomorrow is a pretty big day, and you didn't really respond, so I'm just gonna tell you: IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!! TADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, no, no. Can't be. I distinctly remember: your birthday was last year.
Rapunzel That's the funny thing about birthdays, they're kind of an annual thing. Mother, I'm turning eighteen, and I wanted to ask... What I really want for this birthday. [mumbles] Actually, what I wanted for quite a few birthdays now...
OK, OK, Rapunzel, please, stop with the mumbling. You know how I feel about the mumbling. Blah, blah, blah, blah. It's very annoying. [pinches Rapunzel's cheek and pokes her on the nose] I'm just teasing. You're adorable. I love you so much, darling.
Rapunzel [looks at Pascal, who motions for her to keep talking]
Ugh! I want to see the floating lights!
Rapunzel One moment, Mother!
I have a big surprise!
Rapunzel Uh... I do, too!
Ooh, I'll bet my surprise is bigger!
Rapunzel [to herself]
I seriously doubt it!
Rapunzel I love you more.
I love you most.
Flynn Rider
[Flynn is woken up by Pascal's wet willy and finds himself tied to a chair with Rapunzel's hair] [to himself]
Is this... hair?
Rapunzel [hiding in the dark]
Struggling... struggling is pointless!
Flynn
Huh?
Rapunzel I know why you're here and I'm not afraid of you.
Flynn Rider
What?
Rapunzel [steps into the light]
Who are you, and how did you find me?
Flynn Rider
Uh-huh...
Rapunzel [firmly]
Who are you? And how did you find me?
Flynn Rider
[clears throat]
I know not who you are, nor how I came to find you, but may I just say... [changes his demeanour] Hi. How ya doin'? The name's Flynn Rider. How's your day goin'? Huh?
Rapunzel [scoffs]
Who else knows my location, Flynn Rider?
Flynn Rider
Alright, Blondie.
Rapunzel Rapunzel!
Flynn Rider
Gesundheit. Here's the deal. I was in a situation, gallivanting through the forest, I came across your tower and... Oh... oh, no... where is my satchel?!
Rapunzel [proudly]
I've hidden it. Somewhere you'll never find it.
Flynn Rider
[looks around]
It's in that pot, isn't it?
Flynn Rider
[Rapunzel hits him with her frying pan; Flynn wakes up again and notices that Pascal's giving him another wet willy]
AH! [Pascal jumps off him] Would you STOP THAT?!
Rapunzel Now it's hidden where you'll never find it. So, what do you want with my hair? To cut it?
Flynn Rider
What?
Rapunzel Sell it?
Flynn Rider
NO! Listen, the only thing I want to do with your hair is to get out of it, lit-er-al-ly!
Rapunzel Eat-- Wait, you don't want my hair?
Flynn Rider
Why on Earth would I want your hair? Look, I was being chased, I saw a tower, I climbed it. End of story.
Rapunzel You're telling the truth?
Flynn Ryder
Yes!
Rapunzel Something brought you here, Flynn Rider. Call it what you will: Fate... Destiny...
Rapunzel So I have made the decision to trust you.
Rapunzel But trust me when I tell you this: [pulls Flynn close to her face with a glare] you can tear this tower apart brick by brick, but without my help, you will never find your precious satchel.
[clears throat]
Let me just get this straight. I take you to see the lanterns, bring you back home, and you'll give me back my satchel?
Rapunzel I promise.
Rapunzel [Flynn looks at her suspiciously]
And when I promise something, I never ever break that promise.
Rapunzel [Flynn raises an eyebrow]
EVER. [Pascal nods.]
Alright, listen. I didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice. Here comes the smoulder.
[He puts on a pouty face, hoping to charm Rapunzel. Her stare just hardens.]
This is kind of an off-day for me. This doesn't normally happen. [gives in] Fine! I'll take you to see the lanterns.
Rapunzel Really?! [She jumps in excitement, letting go of the chair Flynn is sitting on. Flynn falls on his face.] Oops.
Rapunzel [excited after finally leaving the tower]
I can't believe I did this! [fearfully] I can't believe I did this. [squealing with joy] I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THIS!!!!!! [giggles, then puts her hands on her throat] Mother would be so furious. [later, looking at a flower, optimistic] Well, that's okay. I mean, what she doesn't know won't kill her, right? [later, in a cave rocking back and forth, fearful with her heart beating in her chest] Oh, my gosh! This would kill her. [later, running through a pile of leaves and making them rain down on the irritated Flynn. Joyous] THIS IS SOOO FUUUUUN!!!!!! [later, standing in a tree with her head against the trunk and her arms hanging limp, depressed] I am a horrible daughter. I'm going back. [later, doing cartwheels and rolling down a hill, ecstatic] I AM NEVER GOING BACK!!! Woo-hoo! [later, laying next to Flynn in a patch of flowers with her face in the ground, ashamed] I am a despicable human being! [later, using her hair as a vine and swinging around a tree with an annoyed Flynn standing there staring into space, joyous] WOO-HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! BEST!!!!!!! DAY!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!!!
Flynn Rider
[Later. Flynn walks up to Rapunzel, who is currently broken down in tears] [clears throat]
You know, I can't help but notice you seem a little at war with yourself here.
Rapunzel [stops crying]
What?
Flynn Rider
Now, I'm only picking up bits and pieces, of course; overprotective mother, forbidden road trip. I mean, this is serious stuff! But let me ease your conscience. This is just a part of growing up. A little adventure, a little rebellion... that's good. Healthy, even.
Rapunzel [Chuckles]
You think?
Flynn Ryder
I know! You're way overthinking this, trust me. Does your mother deserve it? No. Would this break her heart and crush her soul? Of course, but you just got to do it.
Rapunzel Break her heart?
Flynn Rider
In half.
Rapunzel Crush her soul?
Flynn Rider
[squishes a grape in his fingers]
Like a grape.
Rapunzel She would be heartbroken, you're right!
Flynn Rider
I am, aren't I. Oh, bother. Alright, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm letting you out of the deal.
Rapunzel [catches on to what he's trying to do]
What?
Flynn Rider
That's right! But don't thank me. Let's just turn around and get you home. Here's your pan, here's your frog. I get back my satchel. You get back a mother/daughter relationship based on mutual trust and voila! We part ways as unlikely friends.
Rapunzel No! I am seeing those lanterns.
Flynn Rider
OH, COME ON! What is it gonna take for me to get my satchel back?
Rapunzel [holds frying pan to his face]
I will use this...
Ah, there it is! The Snuggly Duckling. Don't worry, very quaint place, perfect for you. Don't want you scaring and giving up on this whole endeavor, now do we?
Rapunzel Well... I do like ducklings!
YAY!!!!!!!!!!
Rapunzel [after releasing a branch that hits Hook Hand Thug on the head]
PUT HIM DOWN! [Everyone stops and stares at her in disbelief] Okay, I don't know where I am and I need him to take me to see the lanterns because I've been dreaming about them my entire life! FIND YOUR HUMANITY! Haven't any of you ever had a dream?!
[Hook Hand Thug draws his battle axe and threateningly walks over to Rapunzel] [wistfully]
... I had a dream once.
[singing]
I'm malicious, mean and scary, my sneer could curdle dairy, and violence-wise, my hands are not the cleanest. But despite my evil look, and my temper, and my hook, I've always yearned to be a concert pianist! Can'tcha see me on the stage performin' Mozart? Tickling the ivories 'til they gleam? Yes, I'd rather be called deadly, for my killer show-tune medley. Thank you! 'Cause way down deep inside, I've got a dream.
Thugs
He's got a dream! He's got a dream!
See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem! Though I do like breaking femurs, you can count me with the dreamers, like everybody else, I've got a dream!
Big Nose Thug
[singing]
I've got scars and lumps and bruises, plus something here that oozes, and let's not even mention my complexion! But despite my extra toes, and my goiter, and my nose, I really want to make a love connection! Can't you see me with a special little lady, rowin' in a rowboat down the stream? Though I'm one disgusting blighter, I'm a lover, not a fighter, 'Cause way down deep inside, I've got a dream! I've got a dream!
Thugs
He's got a dream!
Big Nose Thug
I've got a dream!
Thugs
He's got a dream!
Big Nose Thug
And I know one day romance will reign supreme! Though my face leaves people screaming, there's a child behind it, dreaming, like everybody else, I've got a dream
Thugs
Tor would like to quit and be a florist. Gunther does interior design. Ulf is into mime. Attila's cupcakes are sublime. Bruiser knits, Killer sews, Fang does little puppet shows!
And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns! [to Flynn] What about you?
I'm sorry, me?
Big Nose Thug
What's your dream?
No, no, no. Sorry, boys, I don't sing. [The thugs point their weapons at Flynn; singing] I have dreams, like you-- no, really! Just much less touchy-feely, they mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny. On an island that I own, tanned and rested and alone, surrounded by enormous piles of money!
Rapunzel [singing]
I've got a dream!
Thugs
She's got a dream!
Rapunzel I've got a dream!
Thugs
She's got a dream!
Rapunzel I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam!
Thugs
Yeah!
Rapunzel And with every passing hour, I'm so glad I left my tower, Like all you lovely folks, I've got a dream!
Thugs
She's got a dream! He's got a dream! They've got a dream! We've got a dream! So our differences ain't really that extreme! We're one big team...! Call us brutal, Sick
Sadistic
Big Nose Thug
And grotesquely optimistic!
Thugs
But way down deep inside, We've got a dream!
I've got a dream!
Big Nose Thug
I've got a dream!
Thugs
I've got a dream! I've got a dream! I've got a dream!
Rapunzel I've got a dream!
Rapunzel and Thugs Yes, way down deep inside, I've got a dream! Yeah!
I will.
Your dream stinks. I was talking to her.
Rapunzel [to Hook Hand Thug]
Thanks for everything.
[She kisses him on the cheek, causing him to smile, before she and Flynn escape]
Rapunzel So, Flynn. Where are you from?
Whoa, whoa, whoa! Sorry, Blondie. I don't do back-story, however, I am becoming very interested in yours. I know I'm not supposed to ask about the hair.
Rapunzel Nope.
Or the mother.
Rapunzel Uh-uh.
Frankly, I'm too scared to ask about the frog.
Rapunzel Chameleon.
Nuance. Here's my question, though. If you wanted to see the lanterns so badly, why haven't you gone before?
Rapunzel [Chuckles nervously]
Well...
Rapunzel [The tunnel begins to shake]
Uh, Flynn?
Rapunzel [They look back to find the guards and Maximus running after them]
Flynn!
RIDEEEER!!!!!!!!!!
Run! RUN!!!!!!!!!!
Rapunzel [The Stabbington Brothers appear]
Who's that?
They don't like me.
Rapunzel [The guards appear]
Who's that?
They don't like me either.
Rapunzel [Maximus appears]
Who's that?!
Let's just assume for the moment that everyone in here doesn't like me!
[Rapunzel, Flynn, and Pascal are trapped in a dark and quickly flooding cave] [coming up for air]
It's no use! I can't see anything! [Rapunzel takes a deep breath and dives underwater. Flynn dives after her and pulls her back to the surface] Hey! There's no point! It's pitch black down there.
Rapunzel [regretfully]
This is all my fault. She was right, I never should have done this. [sniffs] I'm so... I'm so sorry, Flynn. [sobs]
Rapunzel [confused]
What?
Rapunzel [smiling a little]
I have magic hair that glows when I sing.
Rapunzel [realization]
I have... magic hair that glows when I sing!
Rapunzel [After the trio escapes the cave and makes it to the shore]
We made it.
Rapunzel We're alive. We're alive!
Rapunzel Eugene...
Rapunzel EUGENE!
Rapunzel It doesn't just... glow.
Rapunzel [After Rapunzel heals Eugene's hand at the campfire, and Eugene is about to scream]
Please don't freak out!
[wheezy]
I'm not freaking out-- are you freaking out? No, I'm just very, very interested in your hair and the magical qualities that it possesses. How long has it been doing that exactly?
Rapunzel Uh... forever, I guess? Mother says when I was a baby, people tried to cut it. They wanted to take it for themselves. [shows Eugene her only brown lock] But once it's cut it turns brown and loses its power. A gift like that, it has to be protected. That's why Mother never let me... [sighs] That's why I never left and...
You never left that tower. And you're still gonna go back?
Rapunzel No! Yes. [covers her face] It's complicated. [Pascal gently holds her foot. She notices Eugene watching her and calms down] So, "Eugene Fitzherbert", huh?
Ahh.. yeah, well. I'll spare you the sob story of poor orphan Eugene Fitzherbert. It's a little bit of a... it's a little bit of a downer.
[Rapunzel scoots closer to Eugene, eager to listen]
There was this book. A book I used to read every night to all the younger kids. The Tales of Flynnigan Rider! Swashbuckling rogue, richest man alive, not bad with the ladies either. Not that he'd ever brag, of course.
Rapunzel Hmm. Was he a thief, too?
Uh... well, no. Actually, he had enough money to do anything he wanted to do; he could go anywhere that he wanted to go. And-- and for a kid, with nothing, I don't know. It just seemed like the better option. You can't tell anyone about this, okay? It could ruin my whole reputation.
Rapunzel Ah! We wouldn't want that.
Well, a fake reputation is all a man has.
[Rapunzel laughs, then they gaze into each other's eyes]
Well, I should, um... I-- I should-- I should get some more firewood.
Rapunzel Hey. [Eugene looks back] For the record, I like "Eugene Fitzherbert" much better than "Flynn Rider".
Well, then you'd be the first. But thank you.
[Rapunzel watches Eugene fetch some more firewood; Mother Gothel is standing a few feet behind her]
Well...
Rapunzel [shocked]
Mother?!
Hello, dear.
Rapunzel [She hugs Rapunzel, who's too shocked to hug her back]
But I-I-I-I-I don't, uh... How did you find me?
Oh, it was easy, really. I just listened to the sound of complete and utter betrayal and followed that.
Rapunzel [sighs]
Mother...
Rapunzel Y-You don't understand! I've been on this incredible journey, and I've seen and learned so much... I even met someone!
Yes, the wanted thief. I'm so proud. Come on, Rapunzel!
[In the boat, Rapunzel sighs, suddenly feeling afraid] [noticing the look on Rapunzel's face]
You okay?
Rapunzel [meekly whispers]
I'm terrified.
Rapunzel I've been looking out a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what it might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything that I dreamed it would be?
Rapunzel And what if it is? What do I do then?
Well, that's the good part, I guess. You get to go find a new dream.
[Rapunzel smiles, feeling reassured]
Rapunzel [in the boat, seeing Eugene with two lanterns]
I have something for you too. [holding up Eugene's satchel] I should have given it to you before, but I was just scared. And the thing is, I'm not scared anymore. You know what I mean?
[Rapunzel has just realized that she is the kingdom’s lost princess. She emerges from her room in shock.]
Rapunzel? Rapunzel, what's going on up there? Are you alright?
Rapunzel [to herself]
I'm the lost princess...
Rapunzel [angrily]
I am the lost princess!!! [pause] Aren't I?!
Rapunzel [Mother Gothel looks shocked, as though she never expected Rapunzel to ever figure this out]
Did I mumble, Mother? Or should I even call you that?
[pauses, then regains composure]
Oh, Rapunzel, do you even hear yourself? Why would you ask such a ridiculous question?
Rapunzel [pushes her away, angry and frightened]
It was you! It was all you!
Rapunzel I've spent my entire life hiding from people who would use me for my power--
Rapunzel!
Rapunzel --when I should have been hiding from YOU!!!!
Where will you go?
[The image dissolves to a vision of Flynn being attacked by the guards in slow motion.]
He won't be there for you.
Rapunzel What did you do to him?!
That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes.
Rapunzel [The image dissolves back to the tower.] [gasps]
No!
Now, now. It's alright. Listen to me. All of this is as it should be.
Rapunzel [She tries to pat Rapunzel's head, but Rapunzel grabs her wrist.]
NO!!!! You were wrong about the world! And you were wrong about me! And I will NEVER let you use my hair AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!
[Mother Gothel breaks free of Rapunzel's grip, only to cause a nearby mirror to fall and smash. Rapunzel then turns to leave.]
You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. [advances toward Rapunzel threateningly] Now I'm the bad guy...
Rapunzel [Rapunzel checks on Eugene's wound he took from Gothel's knife]
Oh, I'm so sorry. [Places her hair on the wound] Everything's gonna be okay, though.
Rapunzel I promise. You have to trust me.
No.
Rapunzel Come on, just... breathe.
I can't let you do this.
Rapunzel [Tearfully]
And I can't let you die.
But if you do this-
Rapunzel Shh, shh, shh.
-then you will die.
Rapunzel Hey, it's going to be all right.
[Eugene smiles; Rapunzel tries to sing the incantation]
Rapunzel. [Rapunzel looks at him] Wait.
Rapunzel [Eugene pulls her head toward him; she closes her eyes, thinking they're going to kiss; but as Eugene sneaks a mirror shard, he cuts Rapunzel's hair, then drops the shard] [her hair turns brown; shocked at what Flynn has done]
Eugene, what have you done?!
[horrified by what she sees]
NO!!! [Grabs the hair as it turns brown] Oh, no. No. [Her skin begins to wrinkle] What have you done? [Her hair turns white] WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!?!?!?! NO!!! [She desperately goes to the broken mirror, and sees her old, haggard face; She shrieks, and covers her eyes with her cloak] Oh, no. No. NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!!! [Pascal makes her trip in Rapunzel's cut hair before she falls off the tower window and screams] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Rapunzel [Gothel crumbles into dust before she hits the ground.]
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Eugene! [Eugene weakly coughs] No! No! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Look at me! Look at me, I'm right here! Don't go! Stay with me, Eugene! [picks up his hand and places it on her head; singing] Flower gleam and glow...
Rapunzel Let your power shine...
Rapunzel Make the clock reverse, Bring back what once was mine...
Rapunzel [crying]
What?
Rapunzel [chuckles sadly]
And you were mine.
Rapunzel [Eugene draws his last breath and slowly dies in Rapunzel's arms, leaving her completely heartbroken.] [draws closer to Eugene's face; singing]
Heal what has been hurt... Change the fate's design... Save what has been lost... Bring back what one was mine... [whispers] What once was mine.
[Rapunzel cries and a tear lands on Eugene's face, then the tear dissolves into Eugene's face and his wound starts glowing and healing; Rapunzel watches in complete shock; As the glowing fades, Rapunzel sees that the wound is gone and desperately looks at Eugene's face] [opens his eyes and gazes at Rapunzel]
Rapunzel?
Rapunzel [gasps]
Eugene?
Did I ever tell you I've got a thing for brunettes?
Rapunzel [overjoyed]
Eugene! [She embraces and kisses him]
[last lines] [narrating]
But I know what the big question is: Did Rapunzel and I ever get married? Well, I am pleased to tell you that after years and years of asking and asking and asking, I finally said "yes".
Rapunzel [correcting him; in sing-song voice]
Eugene!
Rapunzel [also narrating]
And we're living happily ever after.
Rapunzel?
Princess Rapunzel Yes?
Don't ever ask to leave this tower again.
Princess Rapunzel Yes, Mother.
Aw, I love you very much, dear.
Princess Rapunzel I love you more.
I love you most. [singing] Don't forget it. You'll regret it. Mother knows best.
Oh, Rapunzel, you know I hate leaving you after a fight. Especially when I've done absolutely nothing wrong.
Princess Rapunzel Okay, I've been thinking a lot about what you said, earlier.
I hope you're not still talking about the stars.
Princess Rapunzel Floating lights, and, yes, I'm leading up to that.
Because I really thought we dropped the issue, sweetheart.
Princess Rapunzel No, mother, I'm just saying, you think I'm not strong enough to handle myself out there.
Oh, darling, I know you're not strong enough to handle yourself out there.
Princess Rapunzel But if you would just-
Princess Rapunzel But trust me... I know what I'm-
Rapunzel. [loses her patience] Rapunzel!
Princess Rapunzel [touches the closet knob]
Oh, come on!
[angrily]
Enough with the lights, Rapunzel! You are not leaving this tower! EVER!! [a shocked Rapunzel removes her hand from the closet knob. Gothel sits in the chair] Oh, great. Now I'm the bad guy.
