Destiny : Rapunzel
The Snuggling Duckling

[Maximus searches for Flynn, encounters Gothel]

Maximus huffed. Gothel frowned.

Gothel: Huh!

[Maximus frustrated]

Gothel: Uh, a Palace horse. Where's your rider? Rapunzel.

RAPUNZEL!

"Oh no" whispered Rapunzel. Gothel smirked at her.

"You should never have left" she said, and Rapunzel bowed her head.

[Maximus puzzled, Gothel runs to tower]

Gothel: Rapunzel, let down your hair!

[No response]

Gothel: Rapunzel?

[climbs hidden stairway to tower]

"Wait," said Rapunzel, "there's stairs? Why did you use my hair if there are stairs?"

"Because... it's a safety precaution. As soon as I figured that your hair was strong enough to hoist me up, I had the stairs blocked to protect you my flower."

Rapunzel nodded. It did make sense.

Rapunzel?

[searches the tower for Rapunzel but failed]

RAPUNZEL!

[finds satchel, crown, poster of Flynn. Wields knife]

'I'm dead' thought Flynn, rubbing his neck.

Flynn: I know it's around here, somewhere.

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 endeavour now do we?

Flynn facepalmed.

"Why do I have the feeling that I'm walking into danger?" asked Rapunzel.

"Because I'm a desperate idiot" muttered Flynn.

Rapunzel: Well, I do like duckling.

Flynn: YAY!

[opens pub door]

Flynn: Garcon, your finest table please!

[Rapunzel gasps]

"That is a horrible place" said the Queen. The king agreed. The people didn't look to friendly either.

Flynn: You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose.

[sniff] Really let that seep in.

Rapunzel: Agh!

Flynn: What are you getting? Because to me,…

Rapunzel: Agh!

Flynn: … that's part man-smell, and the other part is really bad man-smell. I don't know why, but overall [Pascal hides] it just smells like the color brown. Your thoughts?

[Rapunzel gasps, runs with hair]

Thug: That's a lot of hair.

Flynn: She's growing it out. Is that blood in your moustache? Goldie, look at this. Look at all the blood in his moustache.

That, sir, that's a lot of blood.

"That isn't a good thing" said Rapunzel. Flynn shrugged.

Hey, you don't look so good, blondie. Maybe we should get you a home. Call it a day.

Probably be better off. This is a five star joint after all, and if you can't handle this place, well, maybe you should be back in your tower.

[Rapunzel gasps. Pub door shuts]

"I'm in trouble" said Flynn.

Vlad: Is this you?

[Flynn moves aside Vlad's finger on poster]

"I'm in trouble" he repeated.

Flynn: Aw. Now they're just being mean.

"Seriously, what's up with your artists?" asked Flynn.

"They must not like you much" shrugged the Queen.

"Yeah, cos they like everyone else so much."

Hook: Ho, ho, it's him all right. Greno, go find some guards! That reward's going to buy me a new hook.

Attila: I could use the money.

Vlad: What about me? I'm broke.

[clamour]

Rapunzel: Please, stop!

Flynn: We can work this out.

Rapunzel: Please, leave him alone!

Flynn: Gentlemen, please!

Rapunzel: Give me back my guide!

Ruffians!

Flynn: [struggles] Not the nose, not the nose, not the nose!

Flynn was touching his nose, as if to remember what it looked like.

Rapunzel: Put him down!

"Did that ripple down his fat?" asked Flynn.

"I believe it did" said the king. Gothel turned her nose.

[Silence. Hook turns to her]

Rapunzel: Whoa! 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?

"Oh no, I feel a song coming on" said Flynn.

"How do you know that?" asked Rapunzel.

"Because your a princess, songs always happen around you." There was a tense silence as Flynn let his tongue get away from himself.

"Believe" laughed Rapunzel, "I'm no princess. I just like to sing." Everyone sighed a breath of relief and Gothel mimed a head being chopped to Flynn, who moved away from Rapunzel, in case he let slip again.

[Hook approaches Rapunzel threateningly, but stops just in front of her]

Hook: I had a dream… once.

[swings his axe over a boy, who then plays the accordion]

"Oh, that's where he went" said the King.

Hook: 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

"Wait, what?" yelled Flynn.

[climbs stage]

Can'tcha see me on the stage performin' Mozart?

Tickling the ivories 'til they gleam?

Yep, I'd rather be called deadly

For my killer show-tune medley

–Thank you!

'Cause way down deep inside I've got a dream

"I did not see that coming" said the Queen. Wide eyed, her husband nodded.

Thugs: He's got a dream! He's got a dream!

Hook: 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!

[Gothel arrives]

Big: 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

"Aww, he just wants to be with someone" said Rapunzel, smiling. Honestly, Flynn still looked freaked out.

[in a boat with Shorty]

Can't you see me with a special little lady

Rowing 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!

[swings Shorty]

I've got a dream!

Thugs: He's got a dream!

Big: I've got a dream!

Thugs: He's got a dream!

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: And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns

Flynn snorted.

"Seriously, unicorns."

[to Flynn] What about you?

Flynn: I'm sorry, me?

Big: What's your dream?

Flynn: No, no, no. Sorry boys, I don't sing.

[Swords point at Flynn]

"Doesn't count toward our bet. My life is being threatened" said Flynn, holding a finger up to Rapunzel.

"True" said Rapunzel.

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

[Thugs throw Flynn up in the air]

Rapunzel: 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!

The Queen smiled. She knew that they would guide her daughter home, even if said daughter still had a long way to go.

Thugs: Yeahh!

Rapunzel: And with every passing hour

[Gothel sees Rapunzel]

Rapunzel: I'm so glad I left my tower

Gothel hissed, and Rapunzel moved herself closer to Flynn.

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 diff'rences ain't really that extreme–we're one big team–

Call us brutal, sick

Hook: Sadistic

Big: And grotesquely optimistic

Thugs: 'Cause way down deep inside we've got a dream!

Hook: I've got a dream!

Big: I've got a dream!

Thug Chorus: I've got a dream! I've got a dream! I've got a dream!

Rapunzel: I've got a dream!

Thug: Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

All: Yes way down deep inside, I've got a dream!

Yeahh! [cheer]

Greno: I found the guards.

"He missed the entire thing" said Rapunzel, upset.

"I'm sure he was pretty glad" said Flynn.

[Flynn pulls Rapunzel away]

Capt: Where's Rider? Where is he?

I know he's in here somewhere.

Find him, turn the place upside down if you have to!

[Flynn: on seeing his former accomplices, gasps. Hook takes Flynn & Rapunzel to hidden

passage]

"Wait, he's helping us" said Flynn, shocked.

"I think he's only helping me, your just the guide" said Rapunzel.

"Still ... " replied Flynn.

Hook: Go, live your dream.

Flynn: I will.

Hook: Your dream stinks. (The audience snorted, Hook was diffidently blunt.)I was talking to her.

Rapunzel: Thanks for everything. [kisses]

Vlad: I believe this is the man you're looking for.

Shorty: You got me.

"I love that guy" laughed Flynn. Rapunzel laughed as well.

Guard: Sir, there's no sign of Rider.

[Neigh outside. Maximus opens pub door]

Capt: Maximus.

[Maximus sniffs, neighs at hidden tunnel]

"You sure your a horse" Flynn asked Maximus, who headbutted in return.

Guard: What's he doing?

[Capt shakes head. Maximus frustrated, opens up passage]

Capt: A passage. C'mon men, let's go! Conli, make sure those boys don't get away!

[Guard points at Stabbington. Stabbington hits him to floor]

Stabbington: Play it safe. We'll go get the crown. Mmm.

"Great, more people after us" cheered Flynn faintly.

"Why is that a good thing?" asked Rapunzel.

"It isn't." Rapunzel frowned confused.

Shorty: I got a dream, I got some dream, I… Oooooh, somebody get me a glass, coz I just found me a tall drink of water.

Gothel: Oh, stop it you big lug. A-ha-ha-ha-ha. Where's that tunnel led out?

Shorty: Knife!

Rapunzel jumped.

"You threatened him" she said.

"I have to make sure you get home safe. Your power must be protected darling" said Gothel. Upset, Rapunzel nodded.
