The Return of Strongbow

1 (theme music playing) I got the wind in my hair and a fire within 'Cause there's something beginning I got a mystery to solve and excitement to spare That beautiful breeze blowin' through I'm ready to follow it who knows where And I'll get there I swear With the wind in my hair (geese honking) (wind whistling) Oh, my! (cawing) (laughs) Hands up! This is a holdup.
Whoa! What's that on the cracker? Caviar? (horses neighing) Come on! Throw it here! Ooh! May I? Enchanté.
- (smacks) - (grunts) Ha! Sorry, fellas! Baron's orders! Aw, come on! That double-crossing baron! Nobody takes other people's stuff away from us and gets away with it! Nobody! Forget it.
We'll get him later.
We've got bigger problems at the moment.
(horses neighing) Ooh! (grunts) (whimpering) Check to see if the coast is clear.
(snarling) Yeah, not really.
(both whimpering) Hiyah! (boys giggling) Help support Corona's orphans! Because every donation brings a smile to the face of a child in need.
- Right, Eugene? - That's right, Blondie.
This cause is dear to my heart.
Many orphans go hungry, while others resort to a life of crime.
Mmm-hmm.
Hmm.
Eugene, is everything okay? Huh? Yeah.
Yeah.
Sure.
Everyone was so generous.
Look at all these clothes and toys and (gasps) A beard? - Oh! - Thank you! Just what I was lookin' for.
Aah! Uh-oh.
Okay, Blondie.
Let's get you back to the castle.
Oh.
Who is that? You know, I don't know, and something tells me, we shouldn't stop to ask.
(whimpers) (running footsteps) - (grunts) - (grunts) Dead end.
Rapunzel, that vase, now! (laughs) Gotcha, Rider.
- Man, you should've seen your Huh? - (thuds) Bam! Ha-ha! Follow that, buddy! Hm! You know I meant hide in the vase, right? (man groaning) Princess Rapunzel, meet Lance Strongbow.
How you doin'.
So there I was, Princess angry warlord to my left, ferocious dire wolves to my right, gold coins in my hand, and where's my faithful partner, Flynn Rider? Turns out this warlord had these twin daughters who were Who were on vacation far, far away.
Oh, come on, Eugene.
I may have grown up in a tower, but give me a little credit.
Pray tell, how did two fine, upstanding citizens, such as yourselves, manage to find each other? Oh, we go way back, all the way to the orphanage.
Yeah.
We looked out for each other, when no one else would.
(chuckles) In fact, you can say we're the closest thing either of us ever had to a family.
- Aw, you guys.
- (chitters) So, Lance Strongbow, if you guys are so tight, where have you been all these years? Where have I been? More like, where haven't I been? (chuckles) You were in prison, weren't you? Mostly, yes.
But you know, right now, I'm not thinkin' about where I've been.
I'm thinking about where I'm headed.
- Ha-ha, yes! That's the attitude! - (squeals) And right now, I'm headed to the bathroom.
- Oh.
- Still, the attitude.
(clears throat) Oh, come on! Lance is my friend! You're right.
Stan, go with Pete.
Hey, hey, Lance might not be the straightest arrow in the quiver, but he's our guest.
He's a good guy, and we don't need to shadow him.
Yeah.
I agree.
Lance is Eugene's oldest friend.
He wouldn't take advantage of that.
Well, I don't trust the guy.
I don't know what he's up to, but whatever it is, I don't like it.
Look, Cassandra, I know you'd love nothing more than to see one of my old friends embarrass me, and I hate to disappoint you, but my friend Lance is not "up to" anything.
Okay, Lance, what are you up to? Up to? Me? You think I would come all the way down Uh, see It w Okay, I need help with a job.
Eugene: You want my help with a job? Well, not a "job," a job.
It's simple, victimless, like taking candy from a baby.
And as previously established, I just spent a little time in the clink.
While there, I shared a cell with this guy.
His name was Calvin.
Or was it Clarence? Somethin' like that.
But I called him "Oldie," - see, on account of - Eugene: He's old.
I got it.
Lance: Yeah! So old Oldie tells me about this job he pulled way back when.
He hid the loot in this cave system beneath Corona and was gonna get it back when the heat cooled off.
But it never did.
So it just sat there, forgotten, for years.
Now, Oldie's gonna be in jail for the rest of his natural life.
So he tells me, "You should get it for yourself.
" (clapping) Great story.
Could've used a bit more conflict, but the use of props added a nice touch.
I'm serious.
It's just sitting there.
And I need your help to go get it.
I'm sorry, but you can count me out.
My days as a thief are behind me.
I don't need a thief.
I need a friend.
- Come on, Flynn! - Eugene.
Eugene? (laughing) Talk about your throwback.
You got your break, a huge break.
All I'm asking is for a little help getting my own.
Please? Come on, buddy.
(sighs) Well, I guess it is a victimless crime.
They don't come less victimful.
Fine.
I'll help you.
But you have to promise not a word to anyone, especially Cassandra! And, honestly, put those back.
(clatters) Lance is gonna be just down the hall from Eugene, right? Unless Do you think they should be closer? (gasps) Oh, you know what would be perfect? Bunk beds! Yeah, and why don't you make them some milk and cookies? Um, all right, yeah.
I get it.
You're making fun of me for being excited Eugene's friend is here.
But a midnight snack is actually a perfect idea, so thank you.
And you're okay with all of this? All of what? Oh, I don't know.
(laughs) You don't think that maybe a lifetime criminal who just got out of prison and happens to show up on our front door could possibly have ulterior motives that involves his long-lost pal and partner in crime? Um no, I don't think so.
- Hi, Eugene.
- Oh, hey! Blondie! Hey, hello.
What's up? Uh, nothing.
I just thought I'd see what you were up to.
Nothing! I am up to nothing.
Oh, okay.
Well, what's Lance up to? Lance? Oh, Lance! Nothing.
I mean, I'm sure he's doing something.
But he did seem tired.
Didn't he seem tired? In fact, he's probably asleep already.
So, in answer to your question about what is Lance up to, I will answer, Lance is up to sleeping.
Why do you ask? Okay, uh ugh.
You're gonna think this is funny.
I think it's funny, but Cass is concerned that Lance and you are up to no good.
Crazy, right? What? You what? (laughing) That That's crazy talk.
I know.
(sighs) It's just, obviously, I trust you, Eugene, but I would really hate it if she was right about Lance.
I know.
Psst! (whispers) I said, psst! I heard your psst! Now, let's get on with this.
(sighs) (shrieks) Are you still afraid of spiders? Yes, I have acute arachnophobia.
- Yeah, real cute.
- The treasure's this way.
(rats squeaking) Well, looks like the end of the line.
Nah.
You're just getting rusty.
Hey, I thought I told you to put that back! Ha! Ha! Huh! (chuckles) Viola! Eugene: What the? This isn't a cave.
It's a basement.
We broke into somebody's house! Lance! You lied to me! Now, wait a minute! Lying is a strong word.
Accurate, but strong.
Besides, the only reason I lied to you is because you wouldn't have agreed to do this otherwise.
So, really, we're both to blame.
So, was any of your story true? Well, there was an old inmate named Jesse, - and I did call him - Yeah, Oldie, I remember.
No! Mr.
Kilpatrick.
Oldie? That's just insensitive, Flynn.
- What? You - Look.
We can spend all day trying to figure out who's in the wrong here, but I don't see what the big deal is.
Lying is what we grew up on.
- It's what we do.
- Did, Lance.
I don't do that anymore.
Well, good for you.
Want a medal? No, really, want one? There are like 25 of these things.
Let's just get out of here, Arnwaldo.
Hey! Don't call me Arnwaldo.
Besides, don't you at least wanna know whose basement this is? No.
No, I don't.
It's the Baron's.
The The Baron? The Baron Baron? You said we'd get him later.
- That was eight years ago.
- Exactly.
We've waited eight long years for revenge, and I'm not leavin' until I've settled the score.
And now the score is settled.
Let's get out of here.
Wait a minute.
We've gotta find another way out.
- (door creaking) - Shh! Quietly! - Shh! - Could you possibly "shh" any louder? - (door slams) - Eugene: Quiet! (boots squeaking) Shh! Those have got to be the squeakiest boots I've ever heard! How do you know it's not your shoes? Eugene: No, I don't think this is any quieter.
Eugene (grunting): See? No squeaks.
- Oh! - (clatters) Someone's there! Get him! - Ooh! - Eugene: Oh! That hurt.
- Lance: Sorry about that.
- Let's keep moving.
Hey.
Lance! Lance! Eugene! Where are you? Lance? Lance! - Eugene.
- No, my name is Percival.
Guards! Guards! - (Percival groans) - Sorry! - (smacks) - (grunts) (grunting) (panting) Lance? I brought you a snack.
I thought you might be hungry.
Lance? Hm.
Oh, you know what? He's probably just catching up with Eugene in his room.
Ugh! See? I knew the bunk beds would've been a good idea.
Eugene? Hello? Okay, so, maybe they're catching up somewhere else.
(chitters) Hmm, what do we have here? A plate of cheese and crackers.
I wonder why? Uh, it's because I am very hungry and very thirsty, thank you very much.
Mmm, so good.
Okay, fine.
Yes, they're not home.
But what is to say that they're not out having fun? Oh, I never said anything about them not having fun.
I'm just suggesting they're most likely stealing stuff while doing it.
Okay, I have had just about enough, Cassandra.
You know what? Let's go find Eugene, so I can show you that you were wrong.
Hmm? Okay, but when I'm proven right, you're gonna have egg on your face.
Hoho! I promise you this, I will not have anything on my face tonight.
- Princess, you have a milk mustache.
- I know what I have, Pete! Thank you.
Haha! Wow! There's more gold coins in here than I can count! So there must be more than seven.
What's wrong with you? You duped me! You took advantage of my loyalty! I wouldn't say I took advantage, I borrowed it.
Here, you can have it back.
Okay, you know what? We are done, friend.
I don't want anything to do with you anymore.
Wow.
Money has really changed you.
Eugene.
Yeah, Arnwaldo.
I have changed.
I am a different person, a better person.
But money had nothin' to do with it.
Rapunzel: Eugene! Lance? (whimpers) (grunts) - (clatters) - (chuckles nervously) What are you guys doing? Uh What are we doing? (stammering) What were we do What are What What is anyone doing, really? I mean, that's the question here, isn't it? Hey, ladies.
Looks like one of you ladies dropped your lady's ring.
Your valuable lady's ring.
Eugene, where did that ring come from? - It came from - Our orphanage.
Eugene and I were bequeathed it from our favorite nanny.
A sweet little old woman, whom we affectionately called "Oldie.
" Oldie was the closest thing we ever had to a mom.
So that ring is very special to us.
- Aw.
- When we left the orphanage, we hid it inside a big oak tree in these woods, promising each other that the first one of us to find true love, would be able to give that special someone the ring.
Princess, I believe that would be you.
(gasps) Eugene.
This is beautiful.
Man Mm! I'm good.
Oh my gosh, Eugene, Oldie must've been from Corona.
See? It has our crest.
Oh, that's that's quite a coincidence.
Oh, no.
Okay, that ring we stole belonged to the queen.
The same queen who took me into her home and family, and as soon as she sees Rapunzel wearing it, she will put two and two together, and be furious.
Or heartbroken.
I'm not sure how she'll react, she's a tough read sometimes.
But, however she reacts, it won't be good! Now, on the other hand, if I ask Rapunzel to give me the ring back, she'll realize I lied to her earlier, and I know for a fact that she will be devastated.
And no matter how this shakes down, Cassandra is going to have the satisfaction of being right! That's quite a sticky wicket you got yourself into.
We're gonna have to steal that ring back.
Steal from a princess? Let me know how that works out for you.
I'm sorry, what are you saying? You have to help me! And defy the princess's trust? Why would I do that? Either help me, or I'll turn us both in.
Ooh! Shush! (Rapunzel snoring) (snoring) (squeaking) (gasping) Run! Hey! Pascal! Ha! (whimpers) - Eugene: There's our exit! - Hyah! I got this one.
She'll destroy you.
Actually, go ahead.
- (thudding) - (Lance groans) (groans) - (clangs) - (body thuds) Eugene? I can't believe you would do this! Rapunzel, I I'm sorry.
Princess? If I may You know what? You've said enough, Lance.
- Don't listen to him.
- It's all my fault.
But what do I know? Look, I lied to Eugene.
And to you, Princess.
About everything.
He was only tryin' to help a friend or someone who used to be his friend.
I guess.
I'm I'm truly sorry.
I guess the right thing for me to do now is to come clean - to your mom.
- Eugene, what you did was deceitful, and by every right, yes, you should come clean to my mom, but I can't let you do that.
Wait.
What.
Why? Because I love you, Eugene, and I will forgive you, but I can't be sure they will.
So (sighs) Okay, here's what we're gonna do.
We are going to sneak the ring back into my mom's room Rapunzel, hey.
Stop.
Look, I I love you, too, so much, and thank you, but I can't.
Cheating, lying and deception, that may have been how Flynn Rider would handle this, but I'm Eugene Fitzherbert now, and I have to do this the right way.
That means accepting the consequences, no matter what they are.
(sniffs) It's how Oldie would've wanted it.
Arianna: I appreciate your apology and your honesty.
Though the robbery was many years ago, Eugene, it was, frankly, traumatic, and I'm not sure I can forgive you.
I understand.
I do.
I guess now I just hope that the king won't banish me from Corona when he finds out about this.
Well, yes.
We shall see what the king decides.
Eugene: So, I got you something.
It's not very nice, and there's no story behind it Well, if you don't count the part about how the guy who sold it to me had something dangling from his nose, but I guess that's not so much a story as an observation.
Anyway, the point is, I didn't steal it.
I am really sorry I hurt you, Rapunzel.
That's the last thing I'd ever want to do.
I know, Eugene.
What? I thought that ring was long gone! Yes.
Can you believe it? Eugene found it this morning.
And as for Lance, who knows when I'll ever see him again.
(chitters) Do you think Lance meant it when he said he was sorry? I don't know.
Some people never change.
Oh! By the way, do you know a Mr.
Schnitz? Arnwaldo Schnitz, yeah, that's Lance, uh Yes.
Why? Heh.
Rapunzel: Well, Mr.
Schnitz just made a generous donation to the orphanage charity.
Eugene: Really? How much? Rapunzel: Oh, about a stolen treasure's worth.
Yep.
Okay.
Where did I put that beard? (theme music playing) Now I got my eyes opening wider My heart burnin' like fire Feels like I'm so alive I'm never goin' back Whatever I want now, I'm gonna chase Who I am, I can't contain it I'm not gonna hold it in 'Cause there's more of me to give Oh yeah, there's more of me to give
