"Then he bowed and asked me to dance."

"I couldn’t say no to the king!"

"You must have felt like a princess!. I wish I could have been there."

"On the outside, maybe… but inside beats the heart of a prince."

"That’s not true! You’re risking your life to save your kingdom! Isn’t that what princes do?"

"But my subjects think less of me than they do the Mouse King!... My only hope is to find the Sugar Plum Princess so she can help me restore my people’s happiness… I owe them that."

"They say you’re… beautiful."

"Oh, there you are! The king needs you right away in the courtyard! And...he said if you didn’t hurry, you’d spend the rest of your lives as houseflies!...or was it… horseflies?"

"There’s more to being a king than having a crown!"

"You’ll never gain their loyalty until you’ve earned their respect!"

"And now you’re free to take your rightful place as king."

"None of this would have been possible without you, ________. Will you stay...and be my queen?"

"It's beautiful! There's something engraved on the back."

"Constant as the stars above, always know that you are loved. To our daughter Rapunzel on her first birthday. With love forever, mother and father."

"This doesn't make sense... ________ said I was abandoned when I was just a few days old. Why would she lie to me about that?"

"Why does the old hag do anything other than torment people?"

"Now, there's the understatement of the 17th century."

"But...I've never been outside the magic wall! This is my chance. Maybe, my only chance. I'm going."

"After all I've done, after all I've given you, this is how you repay me! By sneaking off."

"Why are you doing this? You can't keep me locked away from the world forever."

"You must be pretty important if you are invited to the prince's ball."

"All these years, after all I've planned! It must be that boy she met."

"Tower, Tower, do your part! Never release your prisoner with a lying heart! And in which these words are spoken...this fearsome spell can never be broken!"

"You don't know what love is, ________!"

"The room is filled with lovely young ladies. Find someone wonderful to dance with while you wait."

"Long ago and far away, in a village high on a mountaintop, something amazing was occurring. At the very same moment, two identical baby girls were born! One, a baby princess.The king and queen were overjoyed."

"Hoo! We're late, late, late! We have twenty, maximum, twenty-two minutes, for your royal fitting! And then it's move, move, move to your speech at the Historical Society! After that we have to rush, and I mean, rush, to the Horticultural Society Tea! Oh, and then there's your math lessons, your geography lessons, your science lessons..."

"All my life I've always wanted to have one day for myself. Not waking up with a pile of work on every shelf. With no hems in need of pressing, and no sleeves in disarray. No wedding gown with a thousand stitches to crochet. And no debt to pay."

"I'm so sorry, my darling, but as you know, it is vital you marry King ________. It is the only way to take care of our people."

"I wear the gown without my crown and dance around my room."

"But I'd never let my Mother know. I wouldn't want to disappoint her."

"We could be twins!"

"One day you must sing for us at the Palace,"

"__________. ___________, Darling? Are you here? Where could she be? She wasn't at breakfast."

"Lilac? She never scented her stationary with lilac. It was always rose."

"I better change my dress. Ho-ho, what am I talking about? I only have one dress!"

"And... she has beautiful eyes, your spirits rise when she walks in the room. Doors close, and the chemistry grows. She's like a rose that's forever in bloom."

"Something tells me you have a wonderful voice."

"There's something about you... You're honest ... no pretenses. I like that. Until tomorrow, Your Highness."

"I think I'm falling in love with the king."

"You do love disguises, don't you?"

"What do you enjoy most on your travels, Your Highness?"

"Oh, everything. Following the wind, discovering something new around the next bay!"

"What else do you enjoy, besides the harp, Your Highness?"

"This is the hardest thing I've ever done, Father. But I can't spend the rest of my life with someone I don't love. My sisters will run the kingdom."
