Tangled is a 2010 American animated musical film about the long-haired Princess Rapunzel who has spent her entire life in a hidden tower, being told by her mother figure, Mother Gothel, that the world is too dangerous a place to explore. Despite Gothel's warning, Rapunzel dreams of escaping her tower, going to the nearby kingdom, and seeing up-close the beautiful lights that she witnesses floating up into the sky every year on her birthday. So when a bandit named Eugene Fitzherbert (also known as Flynn Rider) seeks shelter in her tower, Rapunzel forces him to be her guide, and help her get to the kingdom. As the comic duo dodges palace guards and Maximus the horse, they begin to uncover secrets about themselves and the world, and possibly, true love. The story is largely based on the German fairy tale Rapunzel by the Brothers Grimm.

Directed by Nathan Greno and Byron Howard. Written by Dan Fogelman (teleplay), Glenn Slater (lyrics).

Flynn Rider/Eugene Fitzherbert

  • [first lines] This is the story of how I died. But, don't worry, this is actually a fun story and the truth is it isn't even mine. This is the story of a girl named Rapunzel, and it starts with the sun. Now, once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens. And from this small drop of sun grew a magic, golden flower. It had the ability to heal the sick and injured.
  • Can't you see me in a castle of my own because I certainly can. All the things we've seen and it's only eight in the morning! Gentlemen, this is a very big day!
  • Gothel broke into the castle, stole the child, and just like that, gone!
  • [looking at a Wanted dead-or-alive poster of himself] Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no. This is bad. This is very, very bad. This is really bad'! [pause] They just can't get my nose right!
  • [From trailer; as he ditches the Stabbington brothers] Enjoy prison! I'll miss the sound of your laughter!
  • [Something jerked out of a bush, frightening Rapunzel; A bunny pops out] Stay calm. It can probably smell fear.
  • You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose. [inhales] Really let that seep in. What are you getting? Because to me, that's part man-smell, and the other part is really bad man-smell! I don't know why, but overall it just smells like the color brown. Your thoughts?
  • [Looking at a Wanted dead-or-alive poster of himself at the Snuggly Duckling; Disgusted at his nose] Ugh! Now they're just being mean.
  • [During the I've Got a Dream number, he was asked what his dream was] Oh, no, no. Sorry, boys. [Quietly] I don't sing. [Bunch of swords pointed at him, and he starts singing and dancing]
  • [to Maximus] Well, I hope you're here to apologize.
  • [After knocking out several guards with a frying pan] Oh, mama, I've got to get me one of theseǃ
  • [sword-fighting Max with a frying pan ] YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS IS THE STRANGEST THING I'VE EVER DONE! [Max flicks the frying-pan from Flynn's hands] ...How 'bout two out of three?
  • [Just avoided the Stabbingtons' attack while swinging in Rapunzel's hair] HA! You should see your faces! Because you look... [Crashes into a beam; Strained] ...ridiculous.
  • [to Rapunzel] So, you're being strangely cryptic as you wrap your magic hair around my injured hand...
  • Frying pans! Who knew, right?
  • [Maximus and the pub thugs help him bust out of jail] Max, you brought them here? [Maximus nods] Thank you. [Maximus whinnies] No, really, thank you. I feel maybe this whole time we've just been misunderstanding one another, and we're really just-- [Maximus has annoyed look] Yeah, you're right. We should go.
  • [While escaping from jail, Maximus plans to jump of the wall] Max...? Max! MAX! [Max jumps off the wall] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHǃǃ!
  • [Arrives at the tower in attempt to rescue Rapunzel from Gothel] Rapunzel?! Rapunzel, let down your hair!
  • [Closing narration] Well... you can image what happened next, the kingdom rejoiced for their lost princess had returned. The party lasted an entire week, and honestly, I don't remember most of it.

Rapunzel

  • [singing very fast] Flowergleamandglowletyourpowershinemaketheclockreversebringbackwhatoncewasmine! Healwhathasbeenhurtchangethefatesdesignsavewhathasbeenlostbringbackwhatoncewasmine!
  • 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 pa-- [accidentally hits herself with pan]
  • [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.
  • [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-HOOO! BEST DAY EVER!!!!
  • [singing] Flower, gleam and glow... Let your power shine... Make the clock reverse... Bring back what once was mine... Heal what has been hurt... Change the fate's design... Save what has been lost... Bring back what once was mine... What once was mine...
  • [holds her frying pan up to Flynn's face] I will use this...

Mother Gothel

  • [looking in the mirror with Rapunzel] Rapunzel, look in that mirror. You know what I see? I see a strong, confident, beautiful young lady. Oh, look, you're here too! [laughs]
  • [angrily] Enough with the lights, Rapunzel! You are not leaving this tower!! EVER!![sits down dramatically] Great. Now I'm the bad guy.
  • [after tricking Rapunzel into returning to the tower with her] I really did try, Rapunzel. I tried to warn you what was out there. The world is dark and selfish and cruel. If it finds even the slightest ray of sunshine, it destroys it.
  • You want me to be the bad guy? [answers herself] Fine. Now I'm the bad guy...
  • [Speaking to a bound and gagged Rapunzel after stabbing Flynn in the back] Now look what you've done, Rapunzel. Oh, don't worry, dear, our secret will die with him. [grabs Rapunzel's chain and starts dragging her to the secret door] And as for us, we are going where no one will ever find you again! [Rapunzel defiantly struggles with her] Rapunzel, really... ENOUGH ALREADY! STOP FIGHTING ME!!
  • [Gothel chains Flynn securely] In case you get any ideas about following us.
  • [Her last words, after Eugene cuts Rapunzel's hair, it kills the healing power] 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!!!
[as Pascal makes her trip in Rapunzel's cut brown hair, she falls off the tower window, and screams] AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!

[Gothel crumbles into dust before hitting the ground]

Dialogue

Rapunzel: [after pulling Mother Gothel up the tower; out of breath] Hi. Welcome home, Mother.
Gothel: Oh, Rapunzel! How you manage to do that every single day without fail! It looks absolutely exhausting, darling.
Rapunzel: Oh, it's nothing.
Gothel: [in a sing-song voice] Then I don't know why it takes so long! Oh, darling, I'm just teasing.
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!
Gothel: 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...
Gothel: 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!
Gothel: [chuckles] What?
[Flynn Rider and the Stabbington Bros. are running from the Royal Guard and are stuck in a cliff]
Flynn Rider: Alright, okay, give me boost, and I'll pull you up.
Stabbington: [Stabbingtons look at each other and one raises his hand to Flynn] Give us the satchel first.
Flynn Rider: [Stunned] What?! I just-- I can't believe that after all we've been through together, you don't trust me? [Stabbingtons stare at him blankly; Deadpan] Ouch. [Hands the Stabbingtons the satchel]
[The Stabbingtons and Rider make a ladder and Rider climbs up the cliff]
Stabbington: [Extends his arm] Now, help us up, pretty boy.
Flynn Rider: Sorry. [Reveals the satchel] My hands are full. [Takes off]
Stabbington: What?! [Sees that he no longer has the satchel] RIDER!!!?
Guard 1: [Flynn runs away and watch out of horses] A tree side in a horse?
Guard 2: Got that?
[After Rapunzel locks Flynn in her closet]
Gothel: Rapunzel! Let down your hair!
Rapunzel: One moment, Mother!
Gothel: I have a big surprise!
Rapunzel: Uh... I do, too!
Gothel: Ooh, I'll bet my surprise is bigger!
Rapunzel: [to herself] I seriously doubt it!
[Repeated lines]
Gothel: I love you very much, dear.
Rapunzel: I love you more.
Gothel: I love you most.
[Flynn is woken up by Pascal's wet willy and finds himself tied to a chair with Rapunzel's hair]
Flynn Rider: [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... 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?
[Rapunzel hits him with her frying pan; Flynn wakes up again and notices that Pascal's giving him another wet willy]
Flynn Rider: 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: [plays the guitar and singing] Golden golden golden hair Silver silver silver hair Bronze bronze--
Guard 1: HEY! WHAT ARE YOU THINKIN' YOUR DOING? Grab her! Taken away!
Flynn: Don't go to dungeon?
Rapunzel: Something brought you here, Flynn Rider. Call it what you will: Fate... Destiny...
Flynn Rider: [flat] A horse.
Rapunzel: So I have made the decision to trust you.
Flynn Rider: [flat] A horrible decision, really.
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.
Flynn Rider: [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. [Flynn looks at her suspiciously] And when I promise something, I never ever break that promise. [Flynn raises an eyebrow] EVER. :[Pascal nods.]
Flynn Rider: Alright, listen. I didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice. Here comes the smolder. [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?ǃ [She jumps in excitement, letting go of the chair Flynn is sitting on. Flynn falls on his face.] Oops.
Flynn Rider: [weakly] You broke my smolder.
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!! [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-HOOOOO!!!!! BEST! DAY! EVER!!! [later, broken down in tears]
Flynn Rider: [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 over thinking 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.
Flynn Rider: 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!
Flynn Rider: YAY!
Thug: That's a lot of hair.
Flynn Rider: She's growing it out. Is that blood on your mustache? [to Rapunzel] Goldie, look at this. Look at all the blood on his mustache! Good sir, that's a lot of blood!
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 walks over to Rapunzel] I had a dream once.
Hook Hand Thug: [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!
Hook Hand Thug: 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!
Hook Hand Thug: And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns! [to Flynn] What about you?
Flynn Rider: I'm sorry, me?
Big Nose Thug: What's your dream?
Flynn Rider: 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
Hook Hand Thug: Sadistic
Big Nose Thug: And grotesquely optimistic!
Thugs: But way down deep inside, We've got a dream!
Hook Hand Thug: 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!
Hook Hand Thug: [to Rapunzel] Go, live your dream.
Flynn: I will.
Hook Hand Thug: Your dream stinks. I was talking to her.
Rapunzel: So, Flynn. Where are you from?
Flynn: 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.
Flynn: Or the mother.
Rapunzel: Uh-uh.
Flynn: Frankly, I'm too scared to ask about the frog.
Rapunzel: Chameleon.
Flynn: 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... [The tunnel begins to shake] Uh, Flynn? [They look back to find the guards and Maximus running after them] Flynn!
Captain: RIDER!
Flynn: Run! RUN!
[The Stabbington Brothers appear]
Rapunzel: Who's that?
Flynn Rider: They don't like me.
[The guards appear]
Rapunzel: Who's that?
Flynn Rider: They don't like me either.
[Maximus appears]
Rapunzel: Who's that?!
Flynn Rider: 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]
Flynn: [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]
Flynn Rider: [sighs] Eugene.
Rapunzel: [confused] What?
Flynn Rider: [sheepishly] My real name is Eugene Fitzherbert. Someone might as well know.
Rapunzel: [smiling a little] I have magic hair that glows when I sing.
[Beat]
Flynn Rider: What?
Rapunzel: [realization] I have... magic hair that glows when I sing!
[After the trio escapes the cave and makes it to the shore]
Rapunzel: We made it.
Eugene: [to himself] Her hair glows...
Rapunzel: We're alive. We're alive!
Eugene: [still to himself] I didn't see that coming! Her hair actually glows!
Rapunzel: Eugene...
Eugene: [to Pascal] Why does her hair glow?!
Rapunzel: EUGENE!
Eugene: [hysterically] WHAT?!
Rapunzel: It doesn't just... glow.
Eugene: [looks at Pascal] Why is he smiling at me?
[After Rapunzel heals Eugene's hand at the campfire, and Eugene is about to scream]
Rapunzel: Please don't freak out!
Eugene: [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...
Eugene: 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?
Eugene: 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 Flynn, eager to listen] There was this book. A book I used to read every night to all the younger kids. The Tales of Flynigan 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?
Eugene: 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.
Eugene: 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".
Eugene: 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]
Mother Gothel: Well...
[Rapunzel's eyes widen]
Mother Gothel: I thought he'd never leave!
Rapunzel: [shocked] Mother?!
Gothel: Hello, dear.
[She hugs Rapunzel, who's too shocked to hug her back]
Rapunzel: But I-I-I-I-I don't, uh... How did you find me?
Gothel: Oh, it was easy, really. I just listened to the sound of complete and utter betrayal and followed that.
Rapunzel: [sighs] Mother...
Gothel: [interrupting] We're going home, Rapunzel. Now.
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!
Gothel: Yes, the wanted thief. I'm so proud. Come on, Rapunzel!
[In the boat, Rapunzel sighs, suddenly feeling afraid]
Eugene: [noticing the look on Rapunzel's face] You okay?
Rapunzel: [meekly whispers] I'm terrified.
Eugene: [softly] Why?
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?
Eugene: [reassuringly] It will be.
Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?
Eugene: 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?
Eugene: [gently pushing the satchel aside] I'm starting to.
[Eugene is pacing in a jail cell, worried about what's happened to Rapunzel. The door opens and in comes the Captain of the Guard along with two other guards]
Captain: Let's get this over with, Rider.
Eugene: Where are we going? [The Captain gives him a 'You know' look, and Eugene places his hand around his neck] Oh.
[Eugene is being escorted to the gallows; he sees the Stabbington Bros. and knocks out the two guards; he then threateningly advances to the Stabbington Bros.]
Eugene: How did you know about her?! Tell me, now!
Stabbington: [frightened] It wasn't us! It was the old lady!
Eugene: [horrified realization] Old lady? [the guards come and drag him away] No, wait! You don't understand! She's in trouble! WAIT!
[Rapunzel has just realized that she is the kingdom’s lost princess. She emerges from her room in shock.]
Mother Gothel: Rapunzel? Rapunzel, what's going on up there? Are you alright?
Rapunzel: [to herself] I'm the lost princess.
Mother Gothel: [sighs] Please speak up, Rapunzel. You know how I hate the mumbling.
Rapunzel: [angrily] I am the lost princess! [pause] Aren't I? [Mother Gothel stares at Rapunzel blankly.] Did I mumble, Mother? Or should I even call you that?
Mother Gothel: [pauses, then regains composure] Oh, Rapunzel, do you even hear yourself? Why would ask such a ridiculous question?
Rapunzel: [pushes her away, angry and frightened] It was you! It was all you!
Mother Gothel: [coldly] Everything I did was to protect you. [Rapunzel shoves past her] Rapunzel.
Rapunzel: I've spent my entire life hiding from people who would use me for my power--
Mother Gothel: Rapunzel!
Rapunzel: -when I should have been hiding from YOU!
Mother Gothel: 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?
Mother Gothel: That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes.
[The image dissolves back to the tower.]
Rapunzel: [gasps] No.
Mother Gothel: Now, now. It's alright. Listen to me. All of this is as it should be.
[She tries to pat Rapunzel's head, but Rapunzel grabs her wrist.]
Rapunzel: 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.]
Mother Gothel: You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. [advances toward Rapunzel threateningly] Now I'm the bad guy.
[As the guards escort Eugene through the prison tower, all the doors around them suddenly close.]
Captain: What's this? Open up!
Shorty: What's the password?
Captain: What?
Shorty: Nope!
Captain:OPEN THIS DOOR!!
Shorty: Not even close!
Captain: You have three seconds! One...
[Behind him, a hook pulls one guard upward.]
Captain: Two...
[a hand pulls the other guard into a room.]
Captain: Three...
[He turns and notices that the guards are gone. Attila the thug creeps up behind the captain and hits him with a frying pan.]
Eugene: Frying pans! Who knew, right?
Hook Hand Thug: Head down.
Eugene: Head down.
Hook Hand Thug: Arms in.
Eugene: Arms in.
Hook Hand Thug: Knees apart.
Eugene: Knees apart-- [flabbergasted] Knees apart? Wh-Why do I need to keep my knees apa--!
[Vladimir jumps down from a balcony to where Eugene is standing on a wheelbarrel sending him flying.]
[Rapunzel checks on Eugene's wound he took from Gothel's knife]
Rapunzel: Oh, I'm so sorry. [Places her hair on the wound] Everything's gonna be okay, though.
Eugene: [Shaking her off] No, Rapunzel.
Rapunzel: I promise. You have to trust me.
Eugene: No.
Rapunzel: Come on, just... breathe.
Eugene: I can't let you do this.
Rapunzel: [Tearfully] And I can't let you die.
Eugene: But if you do this-
Rapunzel: Shh, shh, shh.
Eugene: -then you will die.
Rapunzel: Hey, it's going to be all right.
[Eugene smiles; Rapunzel tries to sing the incantation]
Eugene: Rapunzel. [Rapunzel looks at him] Wait.
[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]
Rapunzel: [her hair turns brown; shocked at what Flynn has done] Eugene, wha--
Gothel: [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] AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!
[Gothel crumbles into dust before she hits the ground.]
Rapunzel: No, no, no, no, no! Eugene! [Eugene weakly coughs] 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...
Eugene: [weakly] Rapunzel.
Rapunzel: Let your power shine...
Eugene: [louder] Hey...
Rapunzel: Make the clock reverse, Bring back what once was mine...
Eugene: [pulls her head in his direction; As loud as he can be] Rapunzel!
Rapunzel: [crying] What?
Eugene: [pause] You were my new dream.
Rapunzel: [chuckles sadly] And you were mine.
[Eugene draws his last breath and slowly dies in Rapunzel's arms, leaving her completely heartbroken.]
Rapunzel: [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]
Eugene: [opens his eyes and gazes at Rapunzel] Rapunzel?
Rapunzel: [gasps] Eugene?
Eugene: Did I ever tell you I've got a thing for brunettes?
Rapunzel: [overjoyed] Eugene! [She embraces and kisses him]
[last lines]
Eugene: [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!
Eugene: [narrating] Alright, I asked her.
Rapunzel: [also narrating] And we're living happily ever after.
Eugene: [narrating] Yes, we are.

About Tangled

  • Well, Byron and I love a good challenge. The idea of creating this hair, 70 feet of hair in a CG film. When you go back and look at any other CG film, hair is usually in a bob or it’s short, because technically it’s a pain to do. Up until this point it’s been pretty impossible at times to have people interact with it at times.
  • Nathan Greno
  • When Glen [Keane] was doing drawing after drawing, we actually had a baseball cap with 70-foot long strands of string on it so that the animators could run around and see what that feels like. And we photographs…we had women who had never had their hair cut in 20-30 years come in and we looked at how it behaves once it gets past a certain length. What does that feel like? What’s the texture like? And, of course, we were just talking about this with one of the other guys, we had this brilliant team of technicians who were working on the hair for about six or seven years before the release of the film, and right up until the last minute we weren’t sure if we were going to be able to pull it off, because it was behaving so bizarrely. At one point it was looking like fabric, at one point it was looking like string, or synthetic nylon… it didn’t look like hair yet. All these layers that we had to add, like clumping and static electricity and now it just looks like natural, beautiful hair, but the effort behind it is mammoth.
  • The braid was great because there is a point where you don’t want to think about the hair as a hindrance anymore and you just want to pay attention to her emotional journey and it was a great way to change her look mid-way through the movie. Even weaving that braid in CG was so hard. We had to ask the woman of the studio who actually knew how to do it, we had to watch it so carefully, model it – it was nuts.
