Dialogue

[First lines]
Eugene [narrating]:
This is the story of how I died...and went to Heaven! Okay, so the Kingdom of Corona, to be exact, but, hey, let's not get hung up on semantics. Once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens... You know what, I'm just gonna give you the rapid-fire shorthand here. The sun drop created a golden flower with healing powers. Creepy, old Mother Gothel sang a song to said flower to regain her youth. Yada, yada... the queen got sick, flower healed Queen, Queen gave birth to Rapunzel who was born with the flower's healing powers and everything was all flying lanterns and cheering subjects. Until- Gothel stole the princess and kept her locked in a tower for eighteen long years. Then, the princess was rescued by a dashing, steely-eyed, suave, smoldering, devilishly charming rogue. Now, some people might've called him a thief, but I always prefer the term, "misunderstood good guy". You see, it wasn't always easy for young Eugene, raised as an orphan on the rough streets --
Rapunzel: Hey, Eugene, focus.
Eugene: Huh? Oh! Right. Sorry. So, the beautiful young maiden- that's you- and the handsome rogue- that's me- made a deal. we followed some lanterns, I saved you from Gothel, you saved me from death. Then you got, arguably, the world's most overly-dramatic haircut. And then --
Rapunzel: And then I was reunited with my long-lost family. But that is where our new story began. Six months have passed. I was loving life inside the Kingdom of Corona, and my coronation to officially become princess had finally come.
Eugene We all had a few surprises that day, didn't we, sunshine? (Pascal giggles) Laugh it up, frog.
Rapunzel: Now, I know what you're all thinking. Yes, Eugene and I did get married. But, make no mistake, getting to the wedding day and our happily ever after would be the biggest adventure we would ever face.
Eugene Oh, that's good.
Rapunzel: Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?
Eugene: Yes. Yes I have. So how about we make you an official princess?
Rapunzel: Oh, is that today?
Eugene: Very funny.
[Looks at the view of the rising sun all over the kingdom of Corona]
Rapunzel: Whoa. Eugene, have you ever seen anything so beautiful?
Eugene: Yes. Yes I have.
Eugene: That girl over there.
[points to lovely girl across the land]
Queen Arianna: Rapunzel just needs some space. No one said dealing with teenagers would be easy.
King Frederic: Teenager or not, Arianna, she will be queen one day. I have to prepare her for that.
[Recalls that horrible night, 18 years ago, when his infant daughter was taken]
King Frederic: [in flashback] Guards! My child! Rapunzel!!
[He closes the French doors]
King Frederic: I just want to protect her.
Rapunzel: What are they?
Cassandra: Nobody knows. They just sprouted up here about a year ago. And watch this. You might wanna stand back for this.
[Uses her sword on the rock spikes, which breaks with ease and the thorn-like rocks remain intact]
Rapunzel: Whoa.
Cassandra: They're unbreakable.
Cassandra: This is where they found the miracle flower that saved your mom.
Rapunzel: And me.
Cassandra: 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?
Cassandra: So what are going for here? Maybe a bob, a pixie?
Rapunzel: Just cut it!
Cassandra: Uh no.
Rapunzel: What do you mean "uh oh"? There shouldn't be any "uh ohs". Uh oh.
Eugene: Holy hair!
[Sees Rapunzel's regrown 70 feet-long blonde hair all over the bedchamber]
Rapunzel: Heh. Surprise.
Rapunzel: The coronation is in two hours! How am I supposed to cut this hair!?
Cassandra: I may have an idea.
Rapunzel: I have a lot of princess-ing up to do.
[Leaves]
King Frederic: You're right, Arianna. Teenagers are a whole new frontier.
Rapunzel: The Duchess?
Lady Caine: Oh, I am no duchess.
Rapunzel: I don't understand.
Lady Caine: Of course you wouldn't, Rapunzel. But try to follow along. This is all your fault!
Rapunzel: What?
Lady Caine: 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?
King Frederic: Rapunzel, stay back.
Rapunzel: But, Dad!
King Frederic: As your father and your king I command you to stay put.
Rapunzel: Sorry, Dad. I can't stay put.
King Frederic: 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!
Lady Caine: Heh. It's amazing what you can hide under those wigs isn't it, Princess? Come on! Let's move out!!
Lady Caine: Now you're just making me angry!
Rapunzel: Good 'cause I'm just getting started!
King Frederic: Rapunzel! Your hair!
Rapunzel: I know! We'll talk about it latter! Please get somewhere safe, and take care of Mom!
King Frederic: Rapunzel!
Lady Caine: You have no idea who you're dealing with!
Rapunzel: Believe me! I've dealt with much worse!
Eugene: Whoa, Lady Caine, it's impolite to leave in the middle of a party.
Cassandra: You think you'd know that.
King Frederic: 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.
King Frederic: And you acted alone?
Rapunzel: Look, I know you're angry. But can't you see? I'm okay. I'm more than okay.
King Frederic: 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!
King Frederic: 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.
[Last lines]
Eugene: I believe someone ordered room service?
Rapunzel [touched]: Eugene? How did you know?
Eugene: 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.
Eugene: 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.
Eugene: In the meantime, we'll stay right here and take things slowly.
[Strokes her 70-feet long blonde hair]
Eugene: I missed this.
Rapunzel: Hey, promise me one thing.
Eugene: Anything.
Rapunzel: That you'll be patient with me.
Eugene: Absolutely. [kisses her] Good night, Rapunzel.
Rapunzel: Good night, Eugene.
[Eugene exits]
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...
[The wind blows and opens the journal to the cover, reading "Plus est en vous", inspiring her]
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!!
