- Eugene Fitzherbert: Hey! Celebratory cupcake, huh?
- Rapunzel: No. Uh, no, thank you.
- Eugene Fitzherbert: Hello? Blondie? Come on. You kicked butt and saved the day. What are you upset about?
- Rapunzel: Eugene... today, I turned my back on a desperate friend in need... I sent the man I love to face possible death... and then did the same to my oldest friend. I entrusted the entire welfare of Corona to a fairytale. In a lot of ways, today was the most difficult day of my life.
- Eugene Fitzherbert: Sweetheart, what are you saying?
- Rapunzel: I'm not sure I want to be queen.
- Eugene Fitzherbert: Hey, Rapunzel, I know today was overwhelming and I can't say I wouldn't be feeling the same way. But you becoming queen is a long time away. Just know that when that time comes, no matter what you decide, I will be right here with you.
- [after a beat, Rapunzel smiles and hugs Eugene]
- Rapunzel: Thank you for bringing my parents home.
- Eugene Fitzherbert: Hey, you got it.
- Rapunzel: [Pascal can't reach the rock blocking the gears] Okay, Pascal. Let me pull you up and we'll figure out some other way.
- [Pascal looks down and then back up at Rapunzel with tears in his eyes]
- Rapunzel: Pascal?
- [Pascal unties himself from her hair]
- Rapunzel: Pascal, no! Pascal!
- [Pascal falls into the abyss and as he passes the gears, he pulls the rock out, causing the machine to start working]
- Cassandra: [pulls Rapunzel back up] Pascal?
- [Rapunzel starts crying, prompting Cassandra to put her arm around her]
- Rapunzel: [crying over Pascal's sacrifice] He's gone.
- Cassandra: I'm so sorry, Rapunzel.
- [pulls her into a comforting hug. They all stand in silence for a moment]
- Xavier: [sees something crawl over the edge of the walkway] Wait. Look!
- [Pascal climbs onto the walkway, battered and bruised, but alive]
- Rapunzel: [gasps] Pascal!
- [she picks him up and they tenderly touch their heads together]
