[After Rapunzel heals Eugene's hand at the campfire, and Eugene is about to scream]
Rapunzel: Please don't freak out!
Eugene: [wheezy] I'm not freaking out-- are you freaking out? No, I'm just very, very interested in your hair and the magical qualities that it possesses. How long has it been doing that exactly?
Rapunzel: Uh... forever, I guess? Mother says when I was a baby, people tried to cut it. They wanted to take it for themselves. [shows Eugene her only brown lock] But once it's cut it turns brown and loses its power. A gift like that, it has to be protected. That's why Mother never let me... [sighs] That's why I never left and...
Eugene: You never left that tower. And you're still gonna go back?
Rapunzel: No! Yes. [covers her face] It's complicated. [Pascal gently holds her foot. She notices Eugene watching her and calms down] So, "Eugene Fitzherbert", huh?
Eugene: Ahh.. yeah, well. I'll spare you the sob story of poor orphan Eugene Fitzherbert. It's a little bit of a... it's a little bit of a downer.
[Rapunzel scoots closer to Eugene, eager to listen]
Eugene: There was this book. A book I used to read every night to all the younger kids. The Tales of Flynnigan Rider! Swashbuckling rogue, richest man alive, not bad with the ladies either. Not that he'd ever brag, of course.
Rapunzel: Hmm. Was he a thief, too?
Eugene: Uh... well, no. Actually, he had enough money to do anything he wanted to do; he could go anywhere that he wanted to go. And-- and for a kid, with nothing, I don't know. It just seemed like the better option. You can't tell anyone about this, okay? It could ruin my whole reputation.
Rapunzel: Ah! We wouldn't want that.
Eugene: Well, a fake reputation is all a man has.
[Rapunzel laughs, then they gaze into each other's eyes]
Eugene: Well, I should, um... I-- I should-- I should get some more firewood.
Rapunzel: Hey. [Eugene looks back] For the record, I like "Eugene Fitzherbert" much better than "Flynn Rider".
Eugene: Well, then you'd be the first. But thank you.
[Rapunzel watches Eugene fetch some more firewood; Mother Gothel is standing a few feet behind her]
Mother Gothel: Well...
[Rapunzel's eyes widen]
Mother Gothel: I thought he'd never leave!
Rapunzel: [shocked] Mother?!
Gothel: Hello, dear.
[She hugs Rapunzel, who's too shocked to hug her back]
Rapunzel: But I-I-I-I-I don't, uh... How did you find me?
Gothel: Oh, it was easy, really. I just listened to the sound of complete and utter betrayal and followed that.
Rapunzel: [sighs] Mother...
Gothel: [interrupting] We're going home, Rapunzel. Now.
Rapunzel: Y-You don't understand! I've been on this incredible journey, and I've seen and learned so much... I even met someone!
Gothel: Yes, the wanted thief. I'm so proud. Come on, Rapunzel!
