WITCH
What did I clearly say?
Children must listen.
RAPUNZEL
No, no, please!
WITCH
What were you not to do?
Childrem must see-
RAPUNZEL
No!
WITCH
And learn.
Why could you not obey?
Children should listen.
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a Prince?
Ah, but I am old.
I am ugly.
I embarass you.
RAPUNZEL
No!
WITCH
You are ashamed of me.
RAPUNZEL
No!
WITCH
You are ashamed.
You don't understand.
RAPUNZEL
It was lonely atop that tower.
WITCH
I was not company enough?
RAPUNZEL
I am no longer a child. I wish to see the world.
WITCH
Don't you know what's out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world.
Stay with me.
Princes wait there in the world, it's true.
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too.
Stay at home.
I am home.
Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me.
Stay with me,
The world is dark and wild.
Stay a child while you can be a child.
With me.
