Who said anything about rescuing?

She cut her hair, not worth rescuing

Who said anything about needing?

Poor Rod, all that work for nothing!

Who said anything about rescuing? He has other things on his mind.

Splendid isolation/I don’t need no one/Splendid isolation/

Didn’t Rodney use to have a girlfriend named Gwen?

Ahh…would you believe Door Dash with a Candy Gram?

Rodney read the wrong fairy tale.

Because he already read that book and knows how it ends.

She just need somebody to take out the empties. You can leave after that is done Sir Rodney.

Rodney knew there was no danger. He just hoped he could marry a beautiful princess. She showed him she isn’t HIS princess.

forget her Rodney….too high maintenance….

“Companionship, maybe…otherwise, I’m good.”

In fairness, he didn’t say he was there to rescue her.

OUCH!

OMG! The perfect life. . .quiet, a little something to drink, and a good book. . .howsabout some cheese and crackers, too?

Is that Princess Vespa from the village of Druidia?

Turns out, Rodney found out she’s an introvert and loves the solace of her tower.

Is that a Merlot?

Someone told her to let down her hair. She misunderstood and let her hair down.

“What makes you think you don’t need company?” ;)

Apparently, the tower was HER idea

Should’ve taken the elevator, Rodney.

Pheromones?

He’s just trying to spice up the evening.

“You’re right! There is a princess locked away in a far away tower. But, apparently, she WANTS to be there.”

Rod heard she was a damsel in dis-dress.

Is this one a rerun? It seems familiar.

She looks like the girl from Fractured Fairy Tales,

She has a book. Why would she need a man?

The flaw behind many an intended rescue.

For a moment Rodney’s heroic side was apparent.

He didn’t say he was there to rescue her
