Into The Woods (2014) Page #5

We?

Do you mean

you're going to let me stay with you?

Perhaps it will take two of us

to have this child.

You've changed

You're daring

You're different in the woods

More sure

More sharing

You're getting us through the woods

If you could see

You're not the man who started

And much more open-hearted

Than I knew you to be

It takes two

I thought one was enough

It's not true

It takes two of us

You came through

When the journey was rough

It took you

It took two of us

It takes care

It takes patience and fear and despair

To change

Though you swear

To change

Who can tell if you do?

It takes two

You've changed

You're thriving

There's something about the woods

Not just surviving

You're blossoming in the woods

At home I'd fear

We'd stay the same forever

And then, out here

You're passionate, charming

Considerate, clever

It takes one

To begin

But then once you've begun

It takes two of you

It's no fun

But what needs to be done

You can do

When there's two of you

If I dare

It's because I'm becoming

Aware of us

As a pair of us

Each accepting a share

Of what's there

We've changed

We're strangers

I'm meeting you in the woods

Who minds what dangers?

I know we'll get past the woods

And once we're past

Let's hope the changes last

Beyond woods

Beyond witches

and slippers and hoods

Just the two of us

Beyond lies

Safe at home with our beautiful prize

Just the few of us

It takes trust

It takes just a bit more

And we're done

We want four, we had none

We've got three

We need one

It takes two

Stop m Stop my egg!

Oh, brilliant! My Milky-White!

I've missed you so much!

Where did you get this?

From the giant's hen.

A golden egg!

I've never seen a golden egg before.

And you can have it,

along with the five gold pieces.

What five gold pieces?

Now I'm taking my cow.

No! I do not wish to sell.

But you took the five gold pieces.

- I didn't take, you gave.

- But you said I could have my cow!

Where are the five gold pieces?

I never said you could. I said you might.

You would take money before a child?

No, no, no, it's not like that.

It wasn't like that.

It's not like I've done a deal with him.

- How could you do that?

- It all just happened so fast.

Milky-White!

Milky-White is dead.

What?

Two midnights gone!

As dawn broke

the Baker and his wife

had but one day left

to reverse the Witch's curse.

As for Rapunzel's Prince,

he returned yet again

to the forbidden tower.

No! Bad idea!

Are you all right?

Yep, yeah. Feel fine. Fine.

What did I clearly say?

Children must listen

No! Please!

What were you not to do?

Children must see

No!

And learn

Why could you not obey?

Children should listen

What have I been to you?

What would you have me be?

Handsome like a prince?

But I am old

I am ugly

- I embarrass you

- No!

You are ashamed of me

No!

You are ashamed

You don't understand

I'm no longer a child.

I wish to see the world.

Don't you know what's

out there in the world?

Someone has to shield you

from the world

Stay with me

Princes wait there in the world, it's true

Princes, yes, but wolves

and humans, too

Stay at home

I am home

Who out there

Could love you more than I?

What out there

That I cannot supply?

Stay with me

Stay with me

The world is dark and wild

Stay a child

While you can be a child

With me

I gave you protection

and yet you disobeyed me.

No.

Your prince will never

lay eyes on you again.

He will never lay eyes

on anything again.

What did you do to him?

It doesn't matter,

because where you're going

no one will ever see you again!

No! No!

No!

Hey, there. Nice cape.

Stay away from my cape,

or I'll slash you into a thousand bits!

I don't want it.

- Where did you get it?

- My granny made it for me

from a wolf that attacked us.

And she gave me

this beautiful knife for protection.

Look what I have. A golden egg.

Where did you get that egg?

I stole a hen that lays golden eggs

from the kingdom of the giant.

I don't believe you.

It's true. And you should see

the giant's toy harp.

It plays the most beautiful tunes

without you even having to touch it.

Of course it does.

Why don't you go up

to the kingdom right now,

bring it back and show it to me?

- I could.

- You could not.

I could!

You could not, Mr. Liar!

I'm not a liar.

I'll get that harp, you'll see!

Jack took the little girl's dare,

and before he knew it

found himself fleeing from a giant.

Bring back my harp!

I'll grind your bones!

Okay, we don't have much time left.

I don't know where to start.

You can start by buying a new cow

with the money you took from the boy.

Right, okay, and where do I buy a cow?

Just go to the next village.

I'm sure you'll find a cow there.

Okay, and what are you going to do?

I'm going to get the slipper.

- The yellow slipper?

- The golden slipper!

The golden slipper, that's right.

Where are you going to find it?

I've met a maiden,

these two previous nights,

with golden slippers.

- Do you think you can get one?

- I'm sure of it.

Wait.

Why are we always separating?

Because we have to,

if we're going to be together.

What?

The entire kingdom shook

when the beanstalk

came crashing down,

killing the giant.

As for the indecisive Cinderella,

she fled from the Prince.

Again.

After her!

He's a very smart prince

He's a prince who prepares

Knowing this time I'd run from him

He spread pitch on the stairs

And I'm caught unawares

Well, it means that he cares

This is more than just malice

Better stop and take stock

While you're standing here stuck

On the steps of the palace

All right, what do you want?

Have to make a decision

Why not stay and be caught?

Should I give that a thought?

What would be his response?

But then what if he knew who I am

When I know that I'm not

What he thinks that he wants?

Or then, what if I am

What a prince would envision?

But then how can you know

Who you are till you know

What you want, which I don't?

So then, which do you pick?

Where you're safe

out of sight and yourself

But where everything's wrong?

Or where everything's right

But you know that you'll never belong?

And whichever you pick

Do it quick

'Cause you're starting to stick

To the steps of the palace

It's my first big decision

The choice isn't easy to make

To arrive at a ball

ls exciting and all

Once you're there, though, it's scary

And it's fun to deceive

When you know you can leave

But you have to be wary

There's a lot that's at stake

But I've stalled long enough

'Cause I'm still standing stuck

In the stuff on these steps

Better run along home

And avoid the collision

Though at home, they don't care

I'll be better off there

Where there's nothing to choose

So there's nothing to lose

So I'll pry up my shoes

Wait, though, thinking it through

Things don't have to collide

I know what my decision is

Which is not to decide

I'll just leave him a clue

For example

A shoe

And then see what he'll do

Now it's he and not you

Who'll be stuck with a shoe
