MOTHER GOTHEL:
Rapunzel!
RAPUNZEL:
So, mother, earlier I was saying tomorrow’s a pretty big dag and u didn’t really respond, so I’m just gonna tell you, it’s my birthday! Uh. Tada!
MOTHER 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!
Uh, Mother, I’m turning eighteen, and I wanted to ask, uh, what I really want for this birthday…
Actually what I really want for my birth–want for my birth–
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Okay, Rapunzel, please, stop with the mumbling. u know how I feel about the mumbling–blah-blah-blah-blah, it’s very annoying, I’m just teasing, you’re adorable, I love u so much, darling. Agh.
[Pascal urges Rapunzel]
RAPUNZEL:
Ah, I want to see the floating lights.
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Uh-huh. What?
RAPUNZEL:
Oh. Well, I was hoping u would take me to see the floating lights.
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Oo. u mean the stars.
RAPUNZEL:
That’s the thing. I’ve charted stars and they’re always constant–but these–they appear every jaar on my birthday, mother–ONLY on my birthday. And I can’t help but feel like they’re… they’re meant for me.
I need to see them, mother, and not just from my window. In person. I have to know what they are.
MOTHER GOTHEL:
u want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel!
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
u know why we stay up in this tower
RAPUNZEL:
I know but…
MOTHER GOTHEL:
That’s right, to keep u veilig and sound, dear
Guess I always knew this dag was coming
Knew that soon you’d want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet
RAPUNZEL:
But–
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Shh! Trust me, pet
Mother knows best
[Lights out]
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
RAPUNZEL:
Agh!
MOTHER GOTHEL:
It’s a scary world out there
Mother knows best
One way of another
Something will go wrong, I swear
Ruffians, thugs, poison ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snakes…
The plague!
RAPUNZEL:
No!
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Yes!
RAPUNZEL:
But–
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Also large bugs
RAPUNZEL:
Ah!
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Men with pointy teeth, and stop, no more, you’ll just upset me
Mother’s right here, mother will protect you
Darling here’s what I suggest
Skip the drama, stay with mama
Mother knows best
Ah, hahahaha…
Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy
On your own, u won’t survive
Sloppy, underdressed, immature, clumsy
Please, they’ll eat u up alive
Gullible, naive, positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague
Plus, I believe, gettin’ kinda chubby
I’m just saying ’cause I wuv you
Mother understands, mother’s here to help you
All I have is one request
Rapunzel?
RAPUNZEL:
Yes?
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Don’t ever ask to leave this tower again.
RAPUNZEL:
Yes, Mother.
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Uh, I love u very much, dear.
RAPUNZEL:
I love u more.
MOTHER GOTHEL:
I love u most. [kisses R's forehead]
Don’t forget it, you’ll regret it
Mother knows best!
MOTHER GOTHEL:
Rapunzel! I’ll see u in a bit, my flower.
RAPUNZEL:
I’ll be here.
