Into The Woods (2014) Page #2

---

You, too, son.

That your family tree would always be

a barren one.

How could you do that?

And when your mother died,

your father deserted you.

Your father was no father,

so why should you be?

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Now there's no more fuss

And there's no more scenes

And my garden thrives

You should see my nectarines

But I'm telling you the same

I tell kings and queens

Don't ever, never, ever

Mess around with my greens

Especially the beans

Yeah, but why

do we have to go to the next village?

Because everyone in this village knows

the cow hasn't given

a drop of milk in weeks.

But that's cheating.

We're starving, Jack!

Don't you understand that?

Now, you're not to

accept less than five pounds for her.

Are you listening to me?

Yes.

How much are you to ask?

No more than five pounds.

- Less than five!

- Than five!

Into the woods, the time is now

We have to live, I don't care how

Into the woods to sell the cow

You must begin the journey

Straight through the woods,

and don't delay

We have to face the marketplace

Into the woods to journey's end

Into the woods to sell a friend

You wish to have the curse reversed?

I'll need a certain potion first.

Go to the wood and bring me back...

One, the cow as white as milk.

Two, the cape as red as blood.

Three, the hair as yellow as corn.

Four, the slipper as pure as gold.

Bring me these

before the chime of midnight

in three days' time.

'Tis then the Blue Moon reappears,

which comes but once

each hundred years.

Bring them and I guarantee

a child as perfect as child can be.

Go to the wood!

Ladies, our carriage awaits!

Now may I go to the Festival?

The Festival?

Darling, those nails

Darling, those clothes

The lentils are one thing

But darling, with those

You'd make us the fools of the Festival

And mortify the Prince

The Festival lasts three nights.

Surely, you can let me

be there for one of them.

The King is trying to

find his son a wife, not a scullery maid!

We must be gone!

Stop it!

Come on.

Go!

I Wish...

Look what I found. Here, take this.

I'm not wearing that.

- Why?

-It was my father's.

You heard what she said.

This is all his fault.

I want nothing to do with him.

Beans?

Oh, these must be the Witch's beans.

We'll take them with us.

- We?

- Yes.

We? You're not coming.

It's not safe out there.

I can help you!

No, I can do this on my own.

The spell is on my house

Only I can lift the spell

No, no, the spell is on our house

We must lift the spell together

The spell is on our house

Now, remind me,

what am I to return with?

You don't remember?

The cow as white as milk

The cape as red as blood

The hair as yellow as corn

The slipper as pure as gold

The cow as white as milk

The cape as red as blood

The hair as yellow as corn

The slipper as pure as gold

I still wish to go to the Festival

But how am I ever to

get to the Festival?

I know, I'll visit Mother's grave

The grave at the willow tree

And tell her I just want to go

To the King's Festival

Into the woods, it's time to go

It may be all in vain, you know

Into the woods, but even so

I have to take the journey

Into the woods, the path is straight

You know it well

But who can tell?

Into the woods to lift the spell

Into the woods to visit Mother

Into the woods to sell the cow

To get the money

To go to the Festival

Into the woods,

to Grandmother's house

Into the woods,

to Grandmother's house

The way is clear

The light is good

I have no fear

Nor no one should

The woods are just trees

The trees are just wood

No need to be afraid there

There's something in the glade there

Into the woods without delay

But careful not to lose the way

Into the woods, who knows what may

Be lurking on the journey

Into the woods to get the thing

That makes it worth the journeying

Into the woods to see the King

- To sell the cow

- To make the potion

To see, to sell

To get, to bring

To make, to lift

To go to the Festival

Into the woods

To see, to sell, to get, to bring

- Into the woods

- To make, to lift, to go to the Festival

Into the woods

Into the woods

Into the woods

Then out of the woods

To see, to sell

To get, to bring

To make, to lift

To go to the Festival

Into the woods

Then out of the woods

And home before dark

Deep within the woods

Cinderella had planted

a branch at the grave of her mother.

And she visited

there so often, and wept so much

that her tears watered it

until it had become a magnificent tree.

I Wish...

What is it that you wish, child?

Do you know what you wish?

Are you certain what you wish

ls what you want?

If you know what you want

Then make a wish

Ask the tree

And you shall have your wish

Thank you, Mother.

On her path to Granny's,

the little girl suddenly found herself

in a very unusual part of the wood.

Good day, young lady.

Good day, Mr. Wolf.

Whither away so hurriedly?

To my grandmother's.

And what might be in your basket?

Some bread. For Grandmother.

So she'll have something

good to make her strong.

And where might

your grandmother live?

A good quarter of a league

further in the woods.

Her house stands

inside a great oak tree.

Look at that flesh

Pink and plump

Hello, little girl

Tender and fresh

Not one lump

Hello, little girl

This one's especially lush

Delicious

Hello, little girl

What's your rush?

You're missing all the flowers

The sun won't set for hours

Take your time

Mother said, "Straight ahead"

Not to delay or be misled

But slow, little girl

Hark and hush

The birds are singing sweetly

You'll miss the birds completely

You're traveling so fleetly

Grandmother first

Then Miss Plump

What a delectable couple

Utter perfection

One brittle, one supple

- One moment, my dear

- Mother said, "Come what may

"Follow the path and never stray"

Just so, little girl

Any path

So many worth exploring

Just one would be so boring

And look what you're ignoring

Think of those crisp, aging bones

Then something fresh on the palate

Think of that scrumptious carnality

Twice in one day

There's no possible way

To describe what you feel

When you're talking to your meal

For Granny.

Mother said not to stray

Still, I suppose, a small delay

Granny might like a fresh bouquet

Goodbye, Mr. Wolf

Goodbye, little girl

And hello

What are you waiting for? Get the cape!

You frightened me!

Get it, get it, get it, get it!

How am I supposed to get it?

You go up to the little thing,

and you take it!

I can't just take a cloak from a little girl.

- Why don't you take it?

-It's the rules.

Why do you think

I asked you to do it in the first place?

I'm not allowed to touch

any of the objects.

Get me what I need!

Get me what I need!

Hello there, little girl.

Hello, Mr. Baker.

Have you saved some

of those sweets for Granny?

I ate all the sweets

and half a loaf of bread.

So I see.

Now, tell me, where did you

get that beautiful cape?

- My granny made it for me.

- Is that so?

I would love a red cape like that.
