Lance, I've got it! We are going to throw a talent show!
You wanna do a talent show? Now? (asks Eugene)
Yes! Now is the perfect time for a talent show! Think about it. The production will be so entertaining, the people won't even remember to be scared.
BBoy
Ah! Get away! No! (bumps into Eugene) (the boy runs away scared when Eugene sees him) (Eugene turns around and sees Nigel running away from his fear)
Dragons! Dragons! (stops running) There are dragons everywhere! (he becomes frozen) (suspense music playing)
And... our show's gotta start now.
Not much further. We're almost there, Varian. Have that solution of yours ready. (she continues walking but Varian stops walking then she turns around to walk back to him when she and Pascal see that Varian is scared) Varian, whatever the red rocks are showing you, they're just visions. They're not real. (tells Varian)
But they are. Do you know what this is? (shows Rapunzel his amber solution that he is holding)
It's what gonna help us sever the red rocks' fear power. (tells Varian)
Yes, but it's also the same compound that encased my father. You know, the red rocks make everybody else see hallucinations, but what I see is something that really happened. (sees his reflection via his amber solution) This stuff ruined my life. (Pascal squeaks) Because of this, I did-- I did terrible-- (turns away from Rapunzel) (Varian accidentally drops his amber solution then he, Rapunzel and Pascal see it is going to the floor) (Pascal screech, whip) (Varian sigh)
Great snag, buddy! (tells Pascal) (Varian takes his amber solution from Pascal) (Pascal sighs and phews)
If that had smashed, then Corona would've been done for, and everyone would hate me even more than they do now. Not that I blame them. (sighs)
Varian, you can't be so hard on yourself. (puts her hand on him when she is comforting him)
That's easy for you to say. You're the embodiment of the Sun Drop. You know, the wondrous, magical Sun Drop. (tells Rapunzel)
Ah! You hear that, Pascal? He called me wondrous and magical. (loves Varian's compliment) (chuckle) (Pascal squeaks)
No, what I'm saying is for ordinary people, like me, fear is just a little bit more debilitatiing. (Pascal squeaks) (Rapunzel holds his hand to comfort him)
Varian... There is nothing ordinary about you. (he sees that Rapunzel is holding his hand) (Varian is cheered up then he and Rapunzel walk alongside each other when holding hands)
Welcome, one and all, to Corona's first talent show! Now, let's turn up the talent! (audience murmuring) (Vladimir holds a ceramic unicorn)
And now, we're gonna add some happy little eyeballs. (holds a paintbrush) There. (chuckle) This fella's got blue eyes.
Unicorns! (runs away screaming)
In my job, I fold a lot of laundry, so when I play cards, the last thing I'm gonna do... is fold! Laugh! (gasping, murmuring) (Eugene is worried) (curtain squeaking) (Catalina is the third act while Kiera announces)
Gather close, one and all, for the truly astounding feats the likes of which you have never seen before. Standing beside me today is a young woman, my sister. You know her as Catalina, but I know her as the eighth wonder of the world! A girl who possesses a singular talent that is, I guarantee, the most stupendous, the most eye-popping...
Oh, no. (worried about Catalina turning into a werewolf)
The most fantastical spectacle ever to be witnessed! Feast your eyes upon the beast! (Catalina growling) (people gasping) (Catalina's outfit ripping) (Catalina growling) (Catalina howl) (people gasping and screaming then they are running away)
But I didn't even get to my soft shoe routine!
No, no, no! You're singing all wrong. Stand with your feet hip width apart, knees relaxed, so not raise your chin, it puts tension on your voice, and please breathe through your diaphragm. (red rocks crash) (people gasping) (Eugene gasps) (Monty and a lady gasping)
MMan
We're doomed, dommed! There's nowhere to hide! (gasps) (Eugene sees him running to the red rocks and touches them then he becomes frozen)
Attila! Ah, not like that! Like this! (Eugene turns around) Figaro, figaro You have to dig Through the belly! In through the nose. Figaro me Figaro you, figaro me Figaro her, figaro dog, figaro cat (Eugene walks to Lance and tells the latter that he is the final act)
Lance. (pushes Attila away)
I just figured out who's up next. You. You are gonna calm the people of Corona down by singing!
Rapunzel, we really gotta hurry. (chuckle) How much farther is it?
Uh, we're here. You wanted a big underground cavern? I give you... the Demanitus Chamber.
Whoa. It-- it's amazing. (surprised to see the Demanitus Device)
You should have seen it before all these red rocks. (tells Varian)
Y-you actually s-seen this before? (asks Rapunzel)
You could say that. (Pascal squeaking) (she pets Pascal)
Man, I would've loved to have met Demanitus! (chuckle)
I did. Nice guy. He was a monkey. (tells Varian) Uh, long story. (Varian turns towards Rapunzel)
Oh! Okay, there's the base. Encasing it in amber should stop the fear-- (jumps off the stairs and runs to the base of the device when he points to it) (rumbling) (Varian yelping)
Okay, less explaining, more pouring. (pushes Varian) (unties her hair to put around Varian's waist when he walks to the red rock but he is scared) (rumbling)
Varian! Please help me! (Varian hears and sees his dad calling him) (Varian is scared and he sadly sees his solution but pours his solution on a red rock then runs back to Rapunzel) (Rapunzel shields her and Varian) (Pascal squeak) (rumbling continues) (Rapunzel stops protecting her and Varian)
What? Gah, I don't understand! This solution should encase the red rock... Oh, of course! Oh, so dumb, Varian! Whatever turned these rocks red must've also changed their internal chemistry.
So, that solution only works on black rocks?
Yes. Well, what's left of it. (tapping his beaker) But, I... I don't even see any black rocks. (tries to find black rocks)
I do. (puts one of her hand on Varian's shoulder when she points to a black rock at the top) (Varian walks closer to the edge to see a black rock) (suspense music playing)
Okay, this just got a lot harder.
CSClown spider
Lance! Time to sing in public, Lance!
(yelps) (backs away from his fear)
CSClown spider
Oh, yes! Yes!
CSClown spider
Time to sing in front of all these people. (opens the curtains to push Lance on stage but he is scared) They're waiting on you, Lance!
Come on, buddy. You've got this! I believe in you! (tells Lance) (Lance closes the curtains to tell his fear that he is brave) (Clown spider gasps)
You know what? I'm bigger than you. I'm bigger than you. (Clown spider whimpering) I'm bigger than my fear. Hm! (walks away to perform on stage) (Eugene clicks the switch of the spotlight to turn it on)
(grunting when he climbs the Demanitus Device) (rocks crumbling) (yelping and grunt when he holds on) (rocks rumbling)
Whoa! Watch out! (dodging the rocks that are headed towards her and Varian then she warns the latter)
(grunts) (falls while screaming) No!
Varian! (she uses her as a lasso when she and Pascal see Varian fall off)
Oh! (gasp) (grabs on to Rapunzel's hair)
(grunts) (puts her hair around the object that holds a boulder and she pulls Varian up) Phew! (sits on her hair)
It's no use, Rapunzel! I can't do this!
Varian, you cannot let fear run your life. Look, I'm afraid too.
Yeah, you said that, Princess, but you don't see what I see. (he still sees his fear of his dad encased inside amber)
That’s true. I don’t. But that doesn’t mean I’m seeing... (Varian turns around to see her) other things. (sighs) I see Corona. It's covered in black rocks. And I see Cassandra. She's conquered the kingdom, destroyed it forever. And you know what the weird part is? What I'm most afraid of is losing Cassandra as a friend. Forever.
I had no idea. (comforts Rapunzel after she talked to him about her fear)
I guess we both have trouble talking about what scares us. (she and Varian see the rocks rumble) (suspense music playing)
I'll do it. Just, uh, gimme a lift. (tells Rapunzel)
One lift coming up. (grunts) (Varian lands on the Demanitus Device then he looks at Rapunzel) Hurry, Varian! (tells him to go fast) (Varian starts to climb up) (red rocks scraping and cornered her) (Rapunzel grunts) (Pascal hides inside Rapunzel's hair) (Cassandra is going to put her hand on a red rock)
Rapunzel? (she is mad) (Rapunzel sees her hands are turning red due to her fear)
Uh, Varian? (Varian climbs up when his hands slowly starts to be frozen while he is mad)
(grunting) It's not real. (he is about to be frozen) I can do this. (he tells himself that he is brave) (panting) Okay. (grunting) (crumbling) (about to be frozen when he reaches the top) (takes the vial out of his bag) Ah! Come on! Come on. (drops the beaker) Ah! The vial! No! (catches the beaker with his boot before he is about to be frozen permeantly) (he hears his dad calling him again)
Varian! (Varian closes his eyes then he sees the amber solution is going to fall out of the beaker)
Oh no, no, no! Don't! (toss the beaker up via his boot then he catches it) (grunt) Got ya. (black rock slowly starts to turn red) (groaning)
Oh! You tackled your fears, Varian! I knew you had it in you! (Varian smiles) (Rapunzel is glad that Varian faced his fears)
If it weren't for Rapunzel, I'd be-- (tells his dad) (Ruddiger chirping when he runs to Varian) Ruddiger! (Varian is glad to see Ruddiger unfrozen again then the former picks up the latter) H-hey! (holds Ruddiger) Good to see you, buddy. (Ruddiger climbs on Varian and tickles the latter) (Feldspar walks to Varian, Ruddiger and Quirin) (congrats and tells Varian)
Oh! Nice job with those rocks, Varian! Rapunzel says you were a real hero, so, uh, yes. (leaves Varian, Ruddiger and Quirin)
Just doing my part. (tells Feldspar after he leaves) (Quirin puts his hand on Varian's shoulder) (Varian looks at his dad) (Varian, Ruddiger and Quirin smile)
So Cass is attacking Corona now? Oh, that's delightful.
She wasn't. (sigh) I don't know how to explain it, but when I touched the rocks, and stay with me on this, I sensed her. And she wasn't attacking us. She was just as afraid as we are. As I am. (tells Eugene about Cassandra)
There's still a chance to save her. (suspense music playing) (finish Eugene's sentence) (she and Eugene turn their heads towards each other then they hold hands)
