[Rapunzel has just realized that she is the kingdom’s lost princess. She emerges from her room in shock.]

Mother Gothel:
Rapunzel? Rapunzel, what's going on up there? Are you alright?

Rapunzel:
[to herself] I'm the lost princess.

Mother Gothel:
[sighs] Please speak up, Rapunzel. You know how I hate the mumbling.

Rapunzel:
[angrily] I am the lost princess! [pause] Aren't I? [Mother Gothel stares at Rapunzel blankly.] Did I mumble, Mother? Or should I even call you that?

Mother Gothel:
[pauses, then regains composure] Oh, Rapunzel, do you even hear yourself? Why would ask such a ridiculous question?

Rapunzel:
[pushes her away, angry and frightened] It was you! It was all you!

Mother Gothel:
[coldly] Everything I did was to protect you. [Rapunzel shoves past her] Rapunzel.

Rapunzel:
I've spent my entire life hiding from people who would use me for my power--

Mother Gothel:
Rapunzel!

Rapunzel:
-when I should have been hiding from YOU!

Mother Gothel:
Where will you go? [The image dissolves to a vision of Flynn being attacked by the guards in slow motion.] He won't be there for you.

Rapunzel:
What did you do to him?

Mother Gothel:
That criminal is to be hanged for his crimes.

[The image dissolves back to the tower.]

Rapunzel:
[gasps] No.

Mother Gothel:
Now, now. It's alright. Listen to me. All of this is as it should be.

[She tries to pat Rapunzel's head, but Rapunzel grabs her wrist.]

Rapunzel:
NO! You were wrong about the world. And you were wrong about me! And I will NEVER let you use my hair AGAIN!!

[Mother Gothel breaks free of Rapunzel's grip, only to cause a nearby mirror to fall and smash. Rapunzel then turns to leave.]

Mother Gothel:
You want me to be the bad guy? Fine. [advances toward Rapunzel threateningly] Now I'm the bad guy.
