Rapunzel! Rapunzel, which of these
should we mount
in the main hall? This one says,
"Hhe's all business," whereas this one
I feel says, "Stern
yet approachable." What do you think? (wind blowing) Hmm... Captain:
You'd like to tighten security
for the Princess, your Majesty? Discreetly tighten, Captain? Though she is
keeping her promise to stay
within the walls of Corona, I fear Rapunzel
has been demonstrating a knack
for getting into trouble. (squeaking) A world
travel guide. Ooh! Soon, Pascal. (gasp) (squeaks) Uh-oh, Pascal,
it looks like rain. -(crow caws)
-Guard: Hey! (grunts) -Aah!
-(splash) (guard moans) My back! (ducks quacking) (Rapunzel gasps) (quacks) Is it me or are the guards
following us everywhere? What do you say
we don't make it
so easy for them? (pascal squeaks) (gasps) Uh, Captain,
she went that way. (sighs) Mmmm... Hey! There she goes! Bye! (laughs) (sighs) The King's not going
to like this. (duck quacks) (crack of thunder) We showed them, huh? But now there's
a slight chance
we'll get stuck in the rain. (crack of thunder) Okay, yeah, a huge chance. (rain pattering) (thunder booms) It was a dark and stormy night. And as I stood there
before this decrepit
old mansion, the door slowly
creaked open. -(body thuds)
-Out stepped
a ghastly figure, an old woman
with cold, dead eyes. Hair like tumbleweeds
stapled to her head, and teeth that looked
as if they could grind bone. (thunder crash) (thugs gasp) Ooh! Are you telling
ghost stories? Nah, Big Nose here
was just tellin' us
about his date last week. Ahh, sweet, sweet Rhonda. So what are you doing out
in this lousy weather, Rapunzel? Good question.
I thought my dad was done
being overprotective, but for some reason,
it seemed like guards were
following me everywhere today. Come on, Raps,
this is Corona! Guards are like cockroaches
in this kingdom. Hook Foot's right.
No one's following you. This storm has just put everyone
ill at ease, and you're
probably-- you're just imagining things. (thunder crash) Oh, hello, fellas. Thugs:
He did it! I was just wandering by
and-- Princess? What a surprise
to find you here. Uh-huh. Hi... Captain. Huh! Funny seeing you here. Funny?
Why there-- there's nothin'
funny about it. I come here all the time
to... shoot the breeze
with my old chums, Hook Toes, Hornswoggle
and... that guy. Ha-- Isn't that right, fellas? Yep, nothin' I love more
than wettin' my old whistle at the ol' Cozy Quacker. Specialty of the house... slop. (squeaks) Mmph. (squeaks) (squeaks) Well, this has been
fun, Princess. Uhh, let's say I escort you
back to the castle. (thunder crash) No one's goin' anywhere. The roads are all flooded. (thunder cracks) Fantastic.
We'll just have
to wait out the storm. And by the way,
it's absolutely freezing
in here. Don't you people know
how to keep a fire goin'? -No!
-That's off limits! Don't touch that! -(wind howls)
-(dramatic music plays) That club
is never to be disturbed. (scoffs)
Why? What's so special
about it? Not special.
More like spooky. It belonged to the Duckling's
original owner, Ruthless Ruth. (ghostly laughter) Ruth was the meanest Pub Thug
to ever live. She used that club
to intimidate her customers. They called it
her Listen Up Club, and legend has it
that whoever disturbs it will incur the wrath
of Ruthless Ruth's wraith! (thunder cracks) The wrath
of Ruthless Ruth's wraith? (thunder crashes) -The wrath
of Ruthless Ruth's wraith!
-(thunder crashes) Could everyone
just stop saying, "The wrath
of Ruthless Ruth's wraith"! (rain pattering) Now, if you'll excuse me, I'd rather take my chances
out in the rain than spend
one more minute listening to you buffoons
and your silly ghost story! (thunder crashes) -(thugs yelling)
-Vlad: Whoa! Let's get
outta here! (grunt)
It's stuck! Aaah!
We're trapped in the pub! It's the wrath
of Ruthless Ruth! Attila: This is all
your fault, Captain. Oh, please.
You don't honestly think
Ruthless Ruth is behind this? Guys, he's right.
Let's not overreact. Just because the lights
went out, the shutters
slammed shut, and the doors got stuck
all on their own, doesn't necessarily mean
there's a... (sinister cackling) ghost. Wait, where's Shorty? (ghostly)
You have disturbed
my slumber! If you don't listen up
and note my words by dawn, you will all be trapped in here
with me forever! Shorty! Ruth!
Who-- Whoever you are,
what do you want? -I want...
-All: Yes? -I want...
-All:
Yes? A sardine sammy
and a jug of pickle brine. Enough of this nonsense! Captain?
Didn't you hear? He says we have until dawn
to figure out what Ruth wants or else we're gonna be
trapped in here forever. You're gonna listen to him? You realize he eats cheese
off the floor? One man's floor
is another man's plate. Clink. The priority is to get
the Princess out of this pub and back to the castle
as quickly as possible. (hitting door) Is there anything we can use
as a battering ram? A battering ram
isn't the answer. We need
to know more about Ruth
and the Listen Up Club. Well, they say that she lived
to terrify those around her. And-- and legend has it
that people's screams
were music to her ears. And she-- she would go
on terrible rampages,
storming through the streets -of Corona.
-No one knew
when she would strike. All they knew was
she would disappear
from the pub, and when she did,
no man, beast, or building foundation
was safe from the swing
of her fearsome club. Afterwards, she'd come back
to the pub, and etch a notch
in her club for every unlucky creature
she'd destroyed in her path. Then she'd have dinner,
a bowl of putrid, slimy slugs. I heard it was hairy spiders. I heard it was both!
And she ate them alive! -And she didn't chew!
-She had horrible
table manners. Yeah.
An-- and they say all
of Corona lived in fear of the mighty barbarian
until the day she died. And the only way
to appease her is to figure out
how to "listen up." Or we're gonna be
stuck here forever. I don't wanna be
stuck here forever. There's only one slice
of pie left! (violin music playing) Cut it out!
Pie's important to me, okay? (violin music continues) Um... guys? (instruments start playing) We've gotta get outta here, now! -(running footsteps)
-(crash) -(crash)
-Again, on three! Ruth, please.
All we're trying to do is figure out what you want. (piano hitting floor) (ghostly voice)
Listen up, Rapunzel. Who said that? (ghostly voice)
Listen... up. Wow!
Look at this. -(tuning fork struck)
-And the club's hook.
(gasp) It's a tuning fork. (thunder crashes) (sinister laughing) Princess! Listen,
and listen to me
well, spirit! Uh, Cap, not so sure
you wanna take that tone
with the undead. No more games!
Under the authority
of King Frederic of Corona, I demand
you release us or face
the consequences! -(thunder crashes)
-(sinister laughing) (rain pattering) Your Majesty,
we've evacuated
the East Bank. While the flooding caused
some damage, there have been no reports
of injuries. And still no word from...? Your Majesty. (rain pattering) (squeaking) (sigh)
We are running out of time.
Okay, let's think. What do we have to go on? The Listen Up Club
and this tuning fork. (tuning fork sounds) Don't worry, Princess!
We're gonna you get outta here! One... two... three! -(crash)
-(table thuds) Attila:
We're free!
I'm gonna travel the world! I'm gonna exercise every day! What in the world
is goin' on? Oh, come on!
Why didn't anybody tell me
my pants were split? I thought we were pals. Attila:
Let's try
the trap door. Aaah! Attila:
We're free! I'm gonna exercise sometimes... Waa-ohh! -Ohh!
-(thud) We're never getting out of here! Um, Ruth?
Are you in here? (tuning forks sounding) (tuning forks humming) Aah! Ruth...
I-- I-- I want to help-- (ghostly voice)
Listen up! Ruth:
The legend is wrong, Rapunzel. We all have dreams. All I wanted was for them
to hear my song. So you weren't a barbarian? Oh no, I was a barbarian, but I never disappeared
to go on rampages. I was just hiding away
in here, practicing my music. My only dream was to write
a rabble-rousing chantey, (singing)
and hear it sung aloud
at the pub. Oh, but-- but I was afraid
no one would listen. "Listen Up" means
listen to your song. It ain't just a club, Rapunzel. -Aah!
-(smash) (yelling) Ooh! Rapunzel:
They're musical notes! Guys!
Ruth wasn't as bad
as we thought! -Whoa!
-Oh! And this isn't just a club.
It's her secret song, but she was too afraid
to share it. And now we all have to play it. -What?
-Attila: Say what? Here, here. Hold this
so I can read the music. (piano music playing) Aah! Guys, I think she likes it! We're gonna be free! (piano music continues) (grunting) (grunting) Whoaaa! (squeaking) (honks) (snap) (grunt) No! Take that, Ruth! Now I'll never have the chance
for my song to be heard! And none of you
will ever see the light
of day again! What are you doing, Captain? You don't stop an evil ghost
with a song. You stop it with force! Didn't you hear her?
Ruth's not evil. The club was just her song. Well, I-- I did have
a moose on my head. Captain, having someone
play her song was Ruth's dream. Ohh. Sorry. -(thunder crashes)
-Ruth: You've crushed
my dreams, and now I'll crush you! None of you will ever
see the light of day again! (squeak) (all gasp) Aaah! (sounds of panic) Aaah! Aaaah-- Oooh. -Attila: Hide!
-Aah! Attila:
Come in closer! Not that close. (thugs groaning) Ruth! It's not dawn yet!
We can still finish your song. No, we can't! That hothead with the misplaced
eyebrow burned my music! The new day is nearly upon us, and I'll be relegated back
to the depths of my chamber! No, Ruth, no, the club
was just a piece of wood. The song is your dream,
and you can't burn a dream. The song must still
be in your heart. But... I can't do this alone. Ruth, only you are in charge
of your own destiny. And we're here to help. You-- you really think

You've been here
for so many years. Why wait until now
to free yourself, and why reach out to me? Because I knew
you'd understand, Rapunzel. By the way, when it comes
to making dreams happen, you might wanna
take your own advice. (laughs) -So long, ghost.
-Attila: Bye, Ruth. Say hi to my Uncle Murray
for me! Wait, wait, wait, wait.
I thought Ruth was a goat. Princess?
Are you ready to return
to the castle? -(chuckles) I know I am.
-Rapunzel: I am so ready. Ruth reminded me of something
very important, Pascal. No one is just gonna hand me
my dreams. I have to go get them myself. And I know Dad's heart
is in the right place with sending all the guards
to protect me, but it's time I put him in... Rapunzel!
You have no idea
how worried I was. I love you so much, darling. You mean everything to me. Dad? (sighs) I love you, too. (theme music playing) <font color="#FFFFFF"><i>♪ Now I got my eyes open
