Quotes

 * Rapunzel (While Hobby warned her): "We still have a few minutes. C'mon! Something great could be down here."
 * Rapunzel (Looking at the scrolls): "I can't imagine Gothel attending all of these balls."
 * Rapunzel (Reading the writing in the brush and then commenting it): "'Constant as the stars above, always know that you are loved. To our daughter Rapunzel on her very first birthday with love forever. Mother and Father.' This doesn't make sense. Gothel said I was abandoned when I was just a few days old. Why would she lie to me like that?"
 * Rapunzel (Looking at the tunnel): "Maybe this isn't a good idea" (Then after Penelope and Hobby talked): "But I've never been outside the magic wall. This is my chance, maybe my only chance, I'm going."
 * Rapunzel (Talking to Gothel): "Why are you doing this? You can't keep me locked away from the world forever!"
 * Rapunzel (While reading the brush and then looking at the stars): "'Constant as the stars above, always know that you are loved.' I'm going to be free..."
 * Rapunzel (While talking to Hobby): "That's better than being a prisoner."
 * Rapunzel (When she arrived at Stefan's Castle): "You kept me locked up my whole life because you hated my father?"
