Mother Gothel
Rapunzel? Rapunzel, what's going on up there? Are you all right?
Rapunzel
[whispers]
I'm the lost princess.
Mother Gothel
[sighs]
Please speak up, Rapunzel. You know how I hate the mumbling...
Rapunzel
[louder]
I am the lost princess! Aren't I?
[Mother Gothel stares in shock]
Rapunzel
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 you 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 Gothel in disgust]
Mother Gothel
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? He won't be there for you.
Mother Gothel
That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes.
Mother Gothel
Now, now, it's all right. Listen to me. All of this is as it should be.
[She tries to touch Rapunzel, 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]
Mother Gothel
Now I'm the bad guy.
