This is it!
This is the big day, Pascal!
I'm finally going to work up the courage and ask her.
Rapunzel! Let down your hair!
Be brave!
I know, I know. Hide, so she doesn't see you.
Rapunzel? The grass isn't making me any younger!
I'm here, Mother!
Hello! I'm happy to see you, Mother.
Rapunzel. How do you do this job every day,
without failing?
It must tire you out terribly.
No, it's nothing.
Then why are you so slow?
I was joking.
Okay. So, Mother, as you know, tomorrow is-
Rapunzel, look over here. Do you know what I see?
A young woman, very beautiful, bright and with a good heart.
Oh look, you're here too.
I was joking, stop taking everything literally.
Okay. Mother, as I was saying, tomorrow is-
Rapunzel, Mother's suddenly very tired.
Will you sing for me, dear? Then we'll talk.
Oh! Of course, Mother.
May the bright flower's power shine, reverse time (slowly!) and give my hopes back
Heal wounds, reveal secrets, save what's lost, bring back my hopes
Mother, I was just telling you that tomorrow is an important day,
but you weren't listening so I'll speak more clearly:
it's my birthday!
It can't be. This much is clear,
it was your birthday last year.
That's what's amazing about birthdays, they come every year!
Mother, I'll be eighteen, and-
what I want-
what I'd most like for my birthday-
what I've asked for a thousand times-
Rapunzel, don't mumble. You know what I think about mumbling,
that exasperating noise that really gets on my nerves.
I was joking, you're lovely, I love you so much.
I want to see the flying lights!
What?
Well, I was hoping you'd take me to see the lights.
You mean the stars.
That's it!
I've studied the stars and realised that they never move.
But these lights-
they appear every year on my birthday,
only on my birthday,
so I can't help but think...
that they're there for me.
I have to see them, Mother,
not just from my window. In person.
I have to know what they are.
You want to go outside? What a preposterous suggestion.
