brothers grimm spectaculathon Flashcards
Girl:
if only i knew where my father was who could spin straw into gold and talk to wolves and make deals with the elves and who was also acquainted with a talking fox
excuse me - but i couldn’t help overhearing your tale of misery and woe. tell you what - i will grant you your hearts desire if you give me one small thing.
Girl:
untouched like the pure snow which has not yet been peed upon by sled dogs, like a bird flitting to and fro -
i get it. i vanish. i vanish again.
Rapunzel:
we’re gonna run away together and have tadpoles and -
Narrator 1:
and just then
i have returned.
girl:
fine, what do you want?
(with devil and rumplestilsken)
your child
um my deal was first
devil:
everyone knows babies come from the devil
i saw her first you can’t even think that you’re going to get this baby
rapunzel:
i’m not cleaning that up
now that that horrid little man is gone, i will take rapunzel
devil:
um excuse me im the devil
so?
devil:
lord of darkness? all that? i think i’ve got a little more claim to this girl than some stupid little witch
enchantress
devil:
whatever. witch.
i will cast a spell on you
girl:
i just like him better
i curse you!
devil:
i curse you right back! you know what, this is stupid. tell ya what, if you sign this contract here, i will let you take rapunzel
that sounds like a plan
devil:
moo ah ah ah ah and i disappear in a cloud of brimstone!
well, come along rapunzel
rapunzel:
where are we going?
i built this great tower for you
rapunzel:
okay so i just sit in my tower right
right
why?
no reason. probably i’m just bored. i could also be acting out for a bad childhood. or, the feminist interpretation would be that being a woman is a dead end field in our society and putting you in a tower which in itself is a phallic symbol symbolizes that there is no escape from womanhood in the universe. all that matters about you is your hair, which in turn is a highway for the masculine force of our patriarchal society to enter and take possession of you. for as a woman, a possession is all that you are.
rapunzel:
ri-ight
i wrote a paper on this in college. i got a b+ because i was discriminated against. now - my pretty - you are going to wait here until i come up with something original to do with you - in the meantime i want you to try all these radioactive hair care products and see what happens
narrator 2:
and for no apparent reason, the enchantress decided to use her hair as a ladder
rapunzel! let down your hair to me!
rapunzel:
why didn’t you build stairs?!
my architect was drunk!
narrator 2:
so up climbed the enchantress
rapunzel:
owowowowowow
enchantress:
would it hurt you to wash this? hold still. there’s a birds nest in here. stop moving. you’re ruining this for me.
rapunzel:
owowowowowowow
(gets up to tower)
what’s up?
rapunzel:
what do you want?
hey um… what is my motivation here?
narrator 2:
ummm doesn’t really say
i just lock this mutant chick up for no reason?
narrator 2:
yeah, there’s really no reason for it
huh. all right, i guess i’m just some kind of sadistic witch
narrator 2:
like my ex-girlfriend
getting on with it. i have locked you in this tower, rapunzel; because…because a woman’s place is in the home. or in the tower.
rapunzel:
but i want a job
too bad. do some housework
rapunzel:
there’s no furniture
make some. goodbye
rapunzel:
weren’t you going to bring me lunch?
oh right. you know what, i forgot your sack lunch at home. i’ll have to climb back in later
(prince leaves tower)
rapunzel! rapunzel! let down your hair
rapunzel:

ow ow ow ow ow ow ow

rapunzel:
nobody
don’t lie to me! you just had a man over!
rapunzel:
you’re being overprotective!
i know what’s best for you!
