A large head is rolled on..... It speaks to Varian and Rapunzel..... Voice booming
Wizard: I am Oz, the great and terrible! Who are you and why do you seek me?
Rapunzel: Say something!
Varian: Uh..... Varian Ruddiger your terribleness
The Wizard speaks normally
Eugene: Oh? Is that you Varian? I didn't realize!
Eugene climbs out of head
Eugene: I hope I didn't startle you, It's so hard to make out people's faces all the way back there. So, let's see... which is which? Varian! (grabs Varian's hand) and you must be
Rapunzel: Rapunzel. The Zel is silent
Varian touches the Oz mask
Eugene: I know, it isn't much, is it? But people expect these sorts of things. You have to give people what they want. The thing is, I hardly ever let people meet the real me, but this is a special occasion
Varian: I'm so happy to meet you I'm your biggest fan!
Eugene: Well, that's good. Cause that's what I love best: making people happy!
Eugene: I am a sentimental man who always longed to be a father that's why I do the best I can to treat each citizen of Carona as a son or daughter. So Varian I'd like to raise you high 'cuz I believe everyone deserves a chance to fly! And helping you with your ascent allows me to feel so parental. For I am a sentimental man.
Varian: I'm here.... we're here to alert you that something bad is happening
Eugene: Please, I'm the Wizard of Carona. I already know why your here
Varian and Rapunzel: Oooo
Eugene: Of course, you must prove yourself
Rapunzel: Prove yourself, prove yourself
Varian: But how?
Eugene: Oh, I don't know... Some sort of gesture mostly for show something to show your adeptness
Eugene: I know Madam, the book!
Madam Gothal enters
Rapunzel: Madam Gothal....
Eugene: I believe you're well acquainted with my new Press Secretary
Varian: Press Secretary?
Gothal: Oh, yes dearies, I've risen up in the world. You'll find that the Wizard is a very generous man. If you do something for him, he'll do so much for you
Varian: What do you want me to do?
Eugene: Well, this is my monkey servant, Vigor. He looks so longingly at the birds every morning...
Gothal: So the Wizard was thinking, perhaps, a levitation spell....
Rapunzel notices the book in Madam Gothal's hands
Rapunzel: Is that the Grimmerie?
Gothal: Yes, the ancient book of spells and enchantments
Gothal hands the Grimmerie over to Varian
Rapunzel whispering: Can I touch it?
Gothal whispering: No!
Varian: What funny writing
Gothal: Well it's a lost language. The lost language of spells
Eugene: It's kind of a recipe book for change
Gothal: Don't be discouraged if you can't decipher it, dearie. I, myself, can only read a spell or two, and that took years and years
Varian: Ahven, Tatey, Ahven Tatey Ahven
Varian continues chanting
Wizard: Oh, Vigor, what an experience you are about to have!
Varian:...............Ah May Ah Tay Atum
Eugene: Since once I have my own day in the sky
Varian: Ah May Ah Tah Tay May Tu Se Say Ta!!
Eugene: I know everyone deserves a chance to fly!!
Vigor screams and begins to twitch
Varian: What happened? Is something wrong?
Gothal: no just a transition, dear
Varian: No, stop your hurting him!
Eugene: He's actually done it!
Vigor sprouts wings and begins running around
Varian: NO! Quick, how do I reverse it?
Gothal: You can't!
Varian: What?!
Gothal: You can't! Spells are irreversible! I knew he had the power, I told you!
Varian: You planned all this?
Gothal: Well, you benefit too, dear, You benefit, too.
Eugene: And this is only the beginning! Look
The other monkeys begin to grow wings and fly
Gothal: Won't they make perfect spies?
Varian: Spies?!
Eugene: You're right, that's a harsh word... how about scouts? That's what they'll be really. They'll fly around Carona! And report any subversive animal activity
Varian: You can't read this book at all! Can you? That's why you need enemies, and cages, and spies. You have no real power.
Eugene: Exactly..... that's why I need you. Don't you see? The world is your oyster, now! You have so many...opportunities. You both do
Rapunzel: Thank you!
Eugene: Since once I had my own day in the sky I know everyone deserves the chance to....
Varian: NO!
Varian runs off
Gothal: Varian!
Rapunzel: Var! I am so sorry your wizardship. I'll fetch him back. Var wait!
Rapunzel runs after Varian
Eugene: We must get him back. He knows too much.
Gothal: Don't worry! I will handle it
Eugene gets back in the head speaking in a powerful voice
Wizard: Guards, guards! There is a fugitive loose in the palace. Find him, capture him, and bring him to me!
Guards: Yes your Wizardness
