Later on, the stepfamily came home.
"Come on boys." Turbo yawned before ringing the doorbell.
Ralph opened the door.
"What a night!" Turbo grinned. "What a magnifithent affair!"
"Perfect." Motor agreed.
"Like a dream." Careen agreed.
However, it sounded as if they were faking it.
"Did any of you get to dance with the princess?" Ralph asked.
"I danced about an hour with her." Motor lied.
"An hour?" Careen said, shocked.
"Didn't you?" Motor asked innocently.
"Well...of course I did...if you did." Careen fibbed.
"I wouldn't be thurprised if the printheth chose one of you for her groom." Turbo added.
"That sounds too good to be true." Ralph smiled, knowing it wasn't true. "Did you know everyone at the ball?"
"Everyone who's anyone, exthept some Printhe Thomething-Or-Other, I never did quite catch his name." Turbo frowned.
"Oh a prince? Did he dance with the princess?" Ralph smiled, already knowing the answer.
"I didn't notithe." Turbo said sourly.
"Do you think she liked him?" Ralph asked, again already knowing the answer.
Careen laughed until he snorted. Motor pounded his back until he stopped.
"And, uh, what pray tell have you been doing all night Wreck-It-Ralph?" Turbo asked, wanting to change the subject.
"Well, I've been dreaming mostly." Ralph said. "What it would've been like to be at the ball."
"He couldn't possibly have dreamed what it was like unless he was there." Motor scoffed.
"You simply can't imagine." Careen agreed to Ralph.
"Well, I imagine there was a grand staircase, candles everywhere and an orchestra playing." Ralph said.
His stepfamily gave him suspicious looks. Q*Bert and his friends, who were hiding in the kitchen, looked worried.
MOTOR:
It looks that way
CAREEN:
The way you say
TURBO:
He talkth as if he knows
RALPH:
I do not know that this is so
I only just suppose...
I suppose that when you come to the ballroom
And the room itself is floating in the air
If you're suddenly confronted by her highness
You are frozen like a statue on the stair
You're afraid she'll hear the way your heart is beating
And you know you mustn't make the first offense
You are seriously thinking of retreating
When you seem to hear her asking you to dance...
Ralph offered his hand to Careen, who took it. They started dancing.
"And when you waltz with her, you whirl around so that your feet never touch the floor."
"That's right they don't!" Careen agreed.
"And it makes you feel like you weigh nothing at all." Ralph added, now dancing with Motor.
"That's right it does!" Motor agreed.
Motor and Careen were now dancing with each other.
"And for a few precious moments, you're the only two people in the entire world." Ralph said before singing:
A lovely night, a lovely night
A finer night you know you'll never see
You meet your princess, a lovely princess
As lovely as a princess will ever be
The stars in a hazy heaven
Tremble above you
While she is whispering:
"Darling I love you"
You say good-bye, away you fly
But on your lips you keep a kiss
All your life you'll dream of this
Lovely, lovely night
The stepbrothers now got into the song.
MOTOR:
A lovely night
CAREEN:
How lovely!
MOTOR:
A lovely night
CAREEN:
How lovely!
MOTOR:
A finer night you know you'll never see
They spun around while holding on to a long scarf and ended up spinning into each other. They obviously weren't happy about it.
CAREEN:
How lovely
MOTOR:
You meet...
CAREEN:
Your princess
MOTOR:
A love...
CAREEN:
...ly princess
Now even Turbo was into the song.
TURBO:
As lovely as a printheth will ever be
The thtars in a hazy heaven
CAREEN:
Tremble above you
TURBO:
While she is whispering:
MOTOR:
"Darling I love you"
RALPH:
You say good-bye, away you fly
MOTOR AND CAREEN:
But on your lips you keep a kiss
TURBO:
All your life you'll dream of thith
Turbo watched as Ralph pretended to take off his hat and bow. That's when he got it: Ralph was the mysterious prince! Turbo didn't know how Ralph had pulled it off, but he did know that it was undeniable. He also knew that he had to do something about it...
RALPH:
Lovely
MOTOR:
Lovely
CAREEN:
Lovely...
MOTOR, CAREEN, AND RALPH:
Lovely night!
"Thop it!" Turbo lost his temper. "Wortht nonthenthe I've ever heard, rubbish and drivel."
"But father..." Careen protested.
"And you two, lithtening to him, hanging on his every word." Turbo glared.
"But father..." Motor protested.
"Enough, go to your rooms it'th late." Turbo ordered.
Motor and Careen reluctantly headed upstairs.
"And you." Turbo said to Ralph. "Why the thought of you danthing with the printheth, it'th prepothterouth."
Turbo went up the stairs.
"Why?" Ralph asked. "Why is it so hard for you to imagine?"
"Because...you're jutht a wrecker Wreck-It-Ralph." Turbo said. "Your father was a wrecker and tho are you. Oh you can wash your face and put on a clean thuit but underneath you'll thtill be a wrecker. That a printheth would even conthider taking you for her groom why...it'th laughable."
"My mother-" Ralph started to cry.
"You mother was weak." Turbo interrupted. "She thpoiled you rotten. She filled your head with thilly thoughtth and dreams that'll never come true. Never. Now clean thith plathe up, it'th a thty."
Turbo went upstairs. Ralph went into the kitchen where he saw Q*Bert and his friends looking at him sympathetically.
"I've had it." Ralph sobbed, heading outside. "Mother." He looked into the stars. "I know I promised that I'd never leave here, but after tonight I don't see how I can stay. If you only knew how he's changed you'd understand. I deserve better mother. I deserved to be loved, and that's what I found out tonight. And that's all that really matters."
He sang:
My dream came true
Away I flew
But on my lips she left a kiss
All my life I'll dream of this
Lovely, lovely night
Q*Bert and his friends joined Ralph outside and hugged him the best they could without arms.
"Ralph."
It was Felix.
"Hi," Felix said gently. "Sorry I'm late, I...well, I guess you could say there was another happily ever after to take care of. Still needs a bit of work but...I think I might help her get it."
Ralph got it and smiled.
"You mean you found someone?" He said.
"A wonderful someone, a dynamite gal." Felix agreed. "Unfortunately she's been badly hurt in the past so it'll take her a while to warm up to me. She did promise to give me a chance though."
"Well, either way I'm happy for you."
"But are you really happy?" Felix said. "Ralph if you really love her why don't you let her know?"
"How can I?" Ralph sobbed. "Look at me."
"Do you really think she fell in love with your strapping suit and top hat?" Felix gave Ralph a cross look.
"I don't know anymore." Ralph sighed. "I mean if you hadn't helped me-"
"You didn't need my help." Felix said. "You just thought you did. Believe in yourself Ralph, and trust her to love you as you really are."
