Rapunzel Pantomime Script Excerpt
GOTHEL is pacing in her lair. DRIP & DRIBBLE enter carrying a tray of magical potions.
DRIP: Good evening, your beautiful-ness!
DRIBBLE: How can we serve you, your radiance?
GOTHEL: Give me my youth potion, I want to look young & fresh, and have skin smoother than a saxophone solo!
DRIP: Yes ma’am, right away! (Choosing a potion) Er… I think’s it’s this one.
DRIBBLE: (Taking it and putting it back) No, that one makes the young look older, we want the older to younger one.
DRIP: Right. And what if we give her the wrong one, or too much?
DRIBBLE: Then she’ll either turn into a baby or a granddad!
DRIP: Either way, she’ll be wearing nappies!
GOTHEL: Your incompetence is as bad as your incontinence. Now shut it, and give me my potion!
DRIP & DRIBBLE both grab a bottle from the tray and offer it to GOTHEL.
DRIP: It’s this one!
DRIBBLE: No, it’s this one!
GOTHEL snatches both bottles.
GOTHEL: One of these better be correct, or you’ll find yourselves swimming in a cauldron of disappointment! (She reads the labels) ‘Eternal Elegance’… Yes, that’s the one! And what’s this? ‘Liquid Laxative?!’ (She turns on DRIBBLE) You tried to feed me THIS?!
She thrusts the bottle back into DRIBBLE’S hands.
DRIBBLE: (Sheepishly) Well, technically, it does make things run smoother…
DRIP: And it’s very cleansing.
GOTHEL: Enough! I don’t know why I bother with you two, I should’ve left you in the enchanted forest!
DRIP: Oh please don’t, it’s really scary in here; there’s twisting paths, eerie noises, and an awful stench!
DRIBBLE: No, Drip, that was you.
GOTHEL: This Forest is all that stands between the pesky people of Quiffendale & the tower I’ve got Rapunzel locked up in. I wouldn’t be surprised if sooner or later some of them try to rescue her.
DRIBBLE: (Confidently) They will, ma’am.
GOTHEL: How do you know that?
DRIBBLE: I read the script!
GOTHEL: Don’t be such a smarty-pants! (Beat) Thanks to my enchantment no one will ever make it through the forest and find her!
