You’ve Got Mail
Computer: Woman:
Welcome!
…Last night I went to meet you and you weren’t there. I wish I knew why. I felt so foolish. And as I waited, someone else showed up, a man who’s made my professional life in misery. And an amazing thing happened. I, I was able, for the first time in my life, to say the exact thing I wanted to say at the exact moment I wanted to say it. And of course, afterwards, I felt terrible. Just as you said I would. I was cruel, and I’m never cruel. And even though I can hardly believe what I said mattered to this man, to him I was just a bug to be crushed. But what if it did? No matter what he’s done to me, there’s no excuse for my behavior. Anyway, I so wanted to talk to you. I hope you have a good reason, have a good reason for not being there last night. You don’t seem like the kind of person that would do something like that. The odd thing about this form of communication is that you’re more likely to talk about nothing than something, but I just want to say that all this nothing has meant more to me than so many “somethings.” So, thanks. Goodbye!
Dear friend. I cannot tell you what happened last night. But I beg you, from the bottom of my heart, to forgive me for not being there, for what happened. I feel terrible that you found yourself in a situation that caused you additional pain. But I’m absolutely sure that whatever you said last night was provoked, even deserved. And everyone says things they regret when they’re worried or stressed. You’re expecting to see someone you trusted, and then the enemy, instead. The fault is mine. Someday I’ll explain everything. Meanwhile, I’m still here. Talk to you.

How Deep Is Your Love
And when you rise in the morning sun
I feel you so touch my hand in the pouring rain And the moment that you wander far from me I want to feel you in my arms again And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love, how deep is your love How deep is your love, I really mean to learn ’Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know you're the door to my very soul You're the light in my deepest darkest night You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think that I care for you When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love, how deep is your love How deep is your love, I really mean to learn ’Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be We belong to you and me
You're the light, you're my life
And you may not think that I care for you When you know down inside that I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love, how deep is your love How deep is your love, I really mean to learn ’Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down when they all should let us be We belong to you and me How deep is your love...

Script:
- Is this ... hair?
- Struggling ... struggling is pointless. I know why you're here. And I'm not afraid of you. - What?
- Who are you, and how did you find me? Who are you, and how did you find me?
- I know not who you are. Nor how I came to find you. But may I just say. Hi! How you doing? The name's Flynn Ryder. How's your day going, huh? - Who else knows my location, Flynn Ryder? - All right, Blondie. - Rapunzel.
- Gesundheit, here's the deal. I was in a situation. Gallivanting through the forest, I came across your tower and ... Ho, oh no, where is my satchel? - I've hidden it, somewhere you'll never find it. - It's in that pot, isn't it. Huh? - Ahh, will you stop that.
- Now it's hidden where you'll never find it. So, what do you want, with my hair? To cut it? - What? Sell it?
- No! Listen, the only thing I want to do with your hair, is to get out of it. Literally. - Wait, you don't want my hair?
- Why on earth would I want your hair? Look, I was being chased, I saw a tower, I climbed it, end of story.
- You're, telling the truth? - Yes.
- Uh, okay Flynn Ryder, I'm prepared to offer you a deal. - Deal?
- Look this way. Do you know what these are?
- You mean the lantern thing they do for the princess?
- Lanterns ... I knew they weren't stars. Well, tomorrow evening they will light the night sky, with these lanterns. You will act as my guide. Take me to these lanterns, and return me home safely. Then, and only then, will I return your satchel to you. That is my deal.
- Yeah, no can do. Unfortunately, the kingdom and I aren't exactly, simpatico, at the moment. So I won't be taking you anywhere.
- Something brought you here, Flynn Ryder. Call it what you will, fate, destiny. - A horse.
- So I have made the decision to trust you. A horrible decision, really. But trust me, when I tell you this. You can tear this tower apart, brick by brick. But without my help, you will never find your precious satchel.
- Let me just get this straight. I take you to see the lanterns. Bring you back home, and you'll give me back my satchel?
- I promise. And when I promise something, I never ever break that promise. EVER!
-All right, listen, I didn't want to have to want to do this, but you leave me no choice. Here comes the smolder. This is kind of an off day for me. This doesn't normally happen. Fine, I'll take you to see the lanterns. - Really!
