This isn't a cave, it's a basement. We broke into somebody's house. Lance, you lied to me!

Let's just get out of here Arnwaldo.
Don't call me Arnwaldo! Besides, don't you at least wanna know whose basement this is?
No. No, I don't.
It's the baron's.
The baron? The baron-baron?
You said we'd get him later.
That was eight years ago.
Exactly. We waited eight long years for revenge. And I'm not letting till I settled the score. And now the score is settled. Let's get out of here.
What do we have here? A plate of cheese and crackers. I wonder why?
Uh, it's because I am very hungry and very thirsty, thank you very much. (tastes some grapes) Mmm, so good. (Cassandra give her a strict look) Okay, fine. Yes, they're not home. But what is to say they're not out having fun?
Oh, I never said anything about them not having fun. I'm just suggesting they're most likely stealing stuff while doing it.
[irritated] Okay, I have had just about enough, Cassandra. You know what? Let's go find Eugene, so I can show you that you were wrong. (drinks some milk and gets a milk mustache) Hmm?
[jokely] Okay, but when I'm proven right, you're gonna have egg on your face.
(rolls her eyes) Hoho! I promise you this, I will not have anything on my face tonight. (give Pete the plate and walks away)
Princess, you have a milk mustache.
[off-screen] I know what I have Pete, Thank you!
That ring we stole belonged to the Queen; the same queen who took me in as part of her family. And as soon as she sees Rapunzel wearing it, she'll put two-and-two together and be furious or heartbroken. She's a tough read sometimes. But if I ask for the ring back, Rapunzel will know I lied to her earlier, and Cassandra will get the satisfaction of being right.
No. I can't let you that.
What? Why not?
Because I love you, Eugene. And I will forgive you, but I can't be sure they will.
I thought that ring was gone long ago.
I know. Isn't it great? Eugene found it this morning.
MMMasked man
Okay, boys. Let's get to work.
It's the first time people see when they enter the castle, Dad. I mean, maybe we could remodel it or something, you know, make it warm and welcoming.
That archway is an important line of defense, Rapunzel. It is imperative it convey strength and security. (Eugene arrives at the table)
(mumbling) You want strength and security, here's what you do... (sits at the table next to Rapunzel) (King Frederic is unamused) Lion statues! Ooh, ooh, better yet... turn the archway into a giant lion's mouth! No, wait! Let's do the whole lion--
Thank you, Eugene. I'll take those suggestions under advisement.
Ahh, teamwork! Up high! (cleans his hands on his vest and gives King Frederic a high five) (chuckling) Your Majesty! (waits for a high five) (Rapunzel puts her hand on Eugene's shirt and pulls it because he is embarrassing her) (he sits) Right! You're eating. We're eating. Next time, then. Cool.
You know, blondie, you might wanna start coming up with lion designs for that archway. I think that idea got some real traction with your dad
I'm sure the king loved your idea. You do realize he was just being polite, and probably didn't wanna call you a nitwit to your face.
Cass! If my dad didn't like Eugene's ideas, I think he would just say so.
Yeah. And he's never been shy about calling me names to my face before. (Pascal groans)
Well, before you go and have your royal advisor nameplate made up, you should probably know that whatever the king wants to ignore an idea, he always says "I'll take it under advisement." (does air quotes)
Ha! Shows what you know! I clearly remember him saying "I'll... (remembers what Rapunzel's dad said to him earlier at the table)
Take those suggestions under advisement. (thunder cracking)
Oh, no! He does think I'm a nitwit!
And there it is!
This changes everything! I cannot have a father-in-law who doesn't take me seriously!
Why not? No one else takes you seriously. (Rapunzel walks to Eugene and fixes his collar then dusts his vest off)
That's not true, Eugene. My dad thinks very highly of you. (Cass shakes her head "no") Though, there are times you could be a bit more selective about the kinds of things you suggest to him. He is the King, after all. (Cass shakes her head "yes")
Et tu, blondie? (walks away from Rapunzel) Okay, you know what? It's fine. It's fine. I can fix this. Quick! Name things your dad likes, that I can pretend I also like to impress him! (bells sounding)
The emergency alarm! (she, Rapunzel and Eugene hear the siren)
Equis? As in the kingdom next door, Equis?
Mm-hm.
What's that got to do with my dad's statue? Why is it all messed up?
Your dad's lifetime rival, King Trevor of Equis, likes to play pranks on him. (tells Rapunzel)
By just drawing a silly face on Dad's statue? (scoffs) I can't imagine any intelligent person finding this funny.
(laughing) (clears throat) (Rapunzel, Cassandra and the Captain of the Guards look at him) (he smiles)
Anyway, King Trevor always manages to thoroughly embarrass your father.
I can hear you, Captain. And yes, I am embarrassed. Embarrassed for him, really! The very idea of a grown man partaking in such infantile boobery!
I still don't get it.
I'll explain later.
Trevor has been trying to lure me into partaking in his shenanigans since our youth. Well, I won't partake! Do you hear me, Trevor! I won't partake! (crows cawing and they are flying away)
I must partake! I can't take this embarrassment any longer! Ooh, I need a prank! I must show the people that, despite that sign's proclamations, Equis does not rule!
I agree, but how?
Yes, how? By striking against that which he holds most dear! The very symbol of his land!
You mean, the Seal of Equis? But, Your Majesty, the castle of Equis is impenetrable. In fact, only one man has ever successfully infiltrated its defenses. And he-- (Eugene whistling when he walks by the throne room but he walks back to the entrance of it)
You guys talkin' about me?
Blondie, great news! Your dad just asked me to steal the Royal Seal of Equis for him!
Stealing from Equis? (closes the book? (Pascal squeaks and facepalms) (slides down the ladder) That doesn't sound like a great idea. (opens the book to show Eugene then Pascal flips a page) Did you know that they have over a thousand guards on duty at any given time? (Eugene takes the book from her and closes it)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, but don't you see? (puts the book on the desk and Pascal climbs on the globe) It's the perfect way for me to prove to him I'm more than just some nitwit thief!
By stealing something?
No. (spins the globe) (Pascal squealing) By stealing something well. (spins the globe fast then stops it) (Pascal squeals, groans)
Hm.
Hey, come on, it's for the official royal prank! I'm pretty sure that makes it completely legal...ish.
Oh! Well, then let me come with you. (holds her bag) I'm pretty good at surprises.
Sorry, blondie, but I've assessed the situation, and this is a one-man job. Luckily, Flynn Rider does his best work alone.
Let's go, partner! (tells Eugene)
Wait! I'm sorry, you wanna come with me? (asks King Frederic)
Of course I'm coming with you. You think I'm in the habit of dressing like this? Though this new, dashing adventure suit I had made is quite slimming. I must witness Trevor's humiliation at first hand! (Eugene walks to him)
Ohh... yeah. See, um... (chuckles) The thing is, I was thinking you wanted, you know, me to do it alone. Uh, not that I wouldn't love to have you along. It's just, you probably have way more important--
This is a matter of national pride, son. Of course it's important. And I specifically said "we" would steal the Royal Seal of Equis, remember?
I do! I do re-- yes, you did say "we"! I thought you were using the royal "we," you know, being king?
Come on, let's do this! (tells Eugene) How'd you put it before? Teamwork! Up high! (puts his hand up and Eugene tries to give him a high five but he walks away)
Yeah. You know, when you say "Up high," you usually-- (King Frederic tosses a bag to him) Okie-dokie, never mind. (puts the bag on him and leaves with King Frederic)
So, Your Majesty, I've drawn up this map based upon the brilliant way I got into the Castle Equis before, to show you how this is gonna go down. (King Frederic stops hiding inside the foliage to see a map) All we need to do is borrow a couple of uniforms and waltz right through the front door. Eh?
We're not doing that.
We're not?
Eugene, as king, I've received top military. After studying this map, I can say certainty that what is required here is stealthy ingress. And this is the perfect spot to do it! (points to the drawing of one of towers on the map)
The northeast tower? The heavily guarded, impossibly fortified northeast tower? (asks King Frederic)
No one will expect it. (hides behind the foliage again)
Rapunzel: Mmph, what's so fun about pranks, anyway? (Cassandra carries a watering can and waters the plant inside the bedroom then walks to Rapunzel)
Mostly, the look on the other person's face when they realize what's happening.
So, it's supposed to surprise people?
Well, it's more like a joke. But, only the person responsible for it thinks it's funny. (Rapunzel walks away from her bay window)
Oh. So, like the jokes my dad tells.
No. There's more to it than that. You need to get somebody to expect one thing and then do something unexpected instead. It's basically entertainment for morons. (Rapunzel picks a portrait of Pascal)
Hmm. Unexpected, eh? (puts an eye mask on Pascal while he is sleeping and snoring then puts a blanket on him as a prank) By the time, he wakes up, he'll be so rested he won't even know what hit him! (laughs) I can't wait to see the look on his face. (Cassandra removes the eye mask)
Unexpected but not clever. (Pascal distressed squeaking)
