Mother Gothel: (angrily) You're not g
oing to that formal, Rapunzel. It's not safe.

(Mother Gothel signs the permission slip, but Rapunzel can tell she's not happy about it)
Rapunzel: (excitedly) Yes! Thank you, Mother Gothel!

Rapunzel: (nervously) I know, Mother Gothel.
(Rapunzel quickly takes the signed perk
mission slip and runs out of the room, feelingi a mix of excitement and fear)

Rapunzel: (defiantly) Yes, I am, Mother Gothel! I'm going to the formal with Jake!
Mother Gothel: (furiously) You're not going anywhere with that boy! He's not good enough for you!
Jake: (standing up to Mother Gothel) That's not fair, Mother Gothel! Rapunzel deserves to make her own choices!
Mother Gothel: (angrily) How dare you! You're just a foolish boy!
(Rapunzel's friends, Gina, Ryan, and others, arrive at the scene)
