(In Rapunzel's dream-turned-nightmare)
Hello, Rapunzel. Did you think I was gone forever? What's the matter, Dear? Aren't you happy to see your mummy? And look! Your hair has returned! Isn't it wonderful? Come now, dear. Let's get back to your tower, where you will be safe and secure. RAPUNZEL!!
Fred, you haven't touched your food.
I touched it. Look, I moved my eggs from there to here.
It's been nearly a week. Just talk to her.
You remember my last conversation with Rapunzel didn't go exactly as I had hoped?
Fred, you confined Rapunzel to the walls of Corona under martial law. If that's a daddy-daughter conversation, I'd hate to see what a talking-too is.
Come on, Cass! Those dreams are trying to tell me something! Ever since that night-
Shh. Raps, I told you: We can't tell anyone about that night.
Um, I think the secret's pretty much out.
Yeah, yeah. Everyone knows the hair's back but if anyone knew I was the one who took you outside when it happened, I'd be sent to a convent. Literally, a convent.
"Oh, please. Just Rapunzel. I need to ask you about my hair."
Ah, yes. So, fantastical stories about your hair returning have spread throughout Corona. Some say it's magic but, personally, I don't believe that. Now as you probably guessed, I am a man of science. Not magic. Specifically, al.
Alchemy. We know. Now listen here, kid! We need your help. But let me make something clear. Whatever happens here stays here! You got it!?
Now, let's see exactly what this hair is made of.
(Sings the last two lines of the Sundrop Flower's healing incantation)
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
"Better?"
RRapunzel
Huh. That used to work.
Well, silver lining. We sure acquired some mystery about your hair: It no longer possesses its legendary healing power.
Okay. The truth? Remember when I said I woke up with long hair? Well, I didn't. Cassandra snuck me out.
Ha! I knew it! She is gonna be in so much trouble!
She showed me these black rocks that began to glow. I know it's strange, but I think they're what made my hair grow back.
Black rocks that glow? Okay, we're back to weird.
And when I touched the rocks, they started chasing us.
Rocks chasing you? Okay, we're back to weird.
And when we got far enough away from them, they stopped growing.
You don't know what "boo" means, do you?
Of course I do! It's a cheer like "hooray" or "yea", right? No? Then what does "boo" mean?
(Back in Rapunzel's room)
It means someone hates you.
Why wouldn't someone like me? What could I have done to this person?
"Rapunzel, who cares? Not everyone has to like you. Its part of life."
"Eugene's right. I someone couldn't like you for any number of reasons. Like you have a stupid goatee that makes you look ridiculous."
"Uh, Cass, it's hard to take your insults seriously when you're holding that thing."
"Your Majesty, you went through all of this just to win my favor?"
"I know, I know. It's a little crazy, but just had to know why you booed me."
"Fine. You wanna know why I booed?"
"Wait, the Goodwill seal?"
"Yes, the Goodwill seal! You redesigned a perfectly good seal."
"Since you've returned, everything's changed. I mean, come on! A royal in bare feet? Pug Thugs in the castle? The list goes no. It's like you and your free spirit have a total disregard for tradition!! And then I realized that, well, maybe that spirit and to-heck-with-it attitude aren't so bad after all. I mean, you did inspire me to achieve my life's dream."
"But then, you put on this deceitful charade and made a complete fool of me!!"
"Wait, so are we friends again?"
"Of course not! And we never will be because I don't like you. Not everyone has to like everyone, Your Majesty."
"You know what? Now that I'm thinking of it, I don't think I like you so much either. No, wait, wait! I know I don't like you. Not friends?"
Listen, Raps, if you trying to find your defining activity, don't listen to this dud whose whole work history is being a two-bit hood.
Two bit hood!? Hold the pastry! I'll have you know Cassandra, Flynn Rider was a legend.
Keyword being "was." And what is it you do now?
I uh, I do many...things. You know, important things, things so important you wouldn't even understand 'em. Sometimes I don't even understand 'em. Tell her, Blondie.
Fitzherbert! (Rapunzel gasps)
(sighs) not again. (Pascal also had enough of Eugene and Cassandra's argument)
I don't know what you're so upset about! Oh, wait, know was the wrong choice of words. (Rapunzel sees her painting and holds it then tosses it on the other paintings and walks to the hall while being annoyed) I meant, I don't care what you're so upset about.
(sighs deeply) Hey, guys! Everything okay? I couldn't help but overhear a--
Not only did you take my halberd without asking, you got your disgusting hair all over it!
How dare you! First of all, I did not touch your halberd. Second of all, what is a halberd? (Cssandra shows it to him) Oh! Oh, a halberd. Okay, fine, you got me, but check out this shave. Smooth as a baby's bottom.
Okay. Okay. (tells Cassandra and Eugene when walking between them) Everyone, let's take a deep, calming, cleansing breath. (inhales, exhales)
To be fair, I asked several times if I could use that thing.
And I said "no" every time.
Which shouldn't matter, because we both know I don't listen to you.
Guys, come on. This is ridiculous. (tells Cassandra and Eugene)
Eugene, a halberd should only be handled by a skilled warrior.
Hello! Skilled warrior! (referring to himself) (grabs Cassandra's halberd from her and show her that she is wrong about him being a pro) You forgot Flynn Rider has handled plenty of weapons. (King Frederic's favorite vase shatters) Oh. (sees that he shattered it)
Ha! Way to go, Eugene. (Rapunzel sees her dad's favorite vase is shattered on the floor)
That-- that's a faulty halberd right there. (points to it) (Rapunzel runs to her dad's favorite vase that is shattered by Eugene)
Let's not panic! I mean, it is-- was my dad's favorite, irreplaceable, one of a kind, most favorite vase, but--
Hey, I have an idea, Eugene. Why not just steal him another one? Oh! Oh, wait, wait. You can't! This is a one of a kind vase.
(chuckles) Of course you would pronounce it "vahz", Cassandra.
Yeah, yeah, "vayce," "vahz." Either way, it'll be the first the king sees when he sits down for dinner tonight, or doesn't see.
You just love making me look like an idiot in front of the king, don't ya?
Nope, you do a perfect job of that all on your own. (Rapunzel sighs and walks back to her bedroom)
Thank you. Wait a minute!
