Into The Woods (2014) Page #6

In a stew

In the goo

And I've learned something, too

Something I never knew

On the steps of the palace

With me! Quick, men!

She mustn't get away!

The Ball is over. Send everyone home.

And the Princess?

She won't get far with one shoe.

- Don't come any closer to me!

- Please, just stop.

Just hear me out.

- You have attacked me once before.

- I didn't attack you...

I attacked your shoe. I need it.

Look. I have a magic bean

in exchange for it.

Magic bean?

Yes.

Nonsense!

No!

Wait, please! I haven't much time!

I need that shoe, to have a child.

That makes no sense!

Does it make sense

that you're running from a prince?

- Stop! You there, stop!

- I must go!

Here, take my shoes. You'll run faster.

Here.

- Thank you!

- Stop!

Thank you, thank you.

What is that you have in your hand?

Nothing. It's mine.

Lying will cost you your life.

I don't care if it

costs me my life, just get off!

You will pay for this!

No!

Sire, I have succeeded

in obtaining the other slipper.

Please, kind Prince,

let me have the slipper,

and all will come to a happy end.

Step back, peon!

Do as she says, Steward!

We only need one.

Thank you.

We must search immediately

for the maiden who fits this slipper.

Tonight?

This very night! On!

Forward!

And in her haste,

the Baker's wife took no notice

of a second beanstalk

climbing skyward.

Let it be known that His Royal

Highness, the Crown Prince,

will be visiting every house

in this village tonight.

All young maidens

are hereby commanded

to remain in their home

until visited by the Royal Guard.

Open the gates.

His Royal Highness approaches.

The Prince wishes to meet all the

young maidens of this house.

All young maidens

prepare to meet the Prince.

As the Prince anxiously waited,

the Stepmother took matters,

and Florinda's foot,

into her own hands.

- Careful, my toe

- Darling, I know

- What'll we do?

- It'll have to go

But when you're his bride

You can sit or ride

You'll never need to walk

Minus one toe,

Florinda mounted the Prince's horse

unaware of the blood

dripping from the slipper.

Lucinda was next.

Why won't it fit?

Darling, be still

Cut off a bit of the heel and it will

And when you're his wife

You'll have such a life

You'll never need to walk

Minus a heel,

Lucinda did her best

to swallow the pain.

It's a perfect fit, Your Highness.

Have you no other daughters?

Only a little, stunted kitchen wench,

which her late father left behind.

But she cannot present herself.

She is too dirty.

I would recognize

these beautiful eyes anywhere.

You.

You are my true bride.

Get down. Get down.

As punishment for their cruelty,

Cinderella's birds

swooped down upon the stepsisters

and blinded them.

As for Rapunzel,

the Witch had

banished her to a swamp

in the darkest depths of the forest.

Rapunzel?

Rapunzel!

Rapunzel!

My darling?

My darling!

I'm here!

Rapunzel?

Rapunzel!

Is that you?

I'm blind, I can't see.

How could she do this to you?

Rapunzel?

What?

I can see you.

Your hair!

I like it.

Come on.

We don't have much time.

- Come on!

- I found you!

- You got the cow!

- And you've got the slipper!

- We've got all four!

- Yes, we've got all four!

I see a cow.

- I see a slipper.

- Yes.

And the cape as red as blood.

- And the hair as yellow as corn.

- We've got all four!

Wait a minute.

That cow doesn't look

as white as milk to me.

- Of course she is.

- Of course it is. Come on.

She has to be.

This cow has been covered with flour!

You didn't get a real white cow?

We had a cow as white as milk.

Honestly, we did!

- Then where is she?

- She's dead!

And we thought

that you would prefer a live cow.

Of course I would prefer a live cow!

So, show me the dead cow,

I'll bring her back to life.

Let's go!

Yeah, okay! It's this way, this way!

Jack!

Jack!

Jack!

There you are!

I've been worried sick about you!

There's a dead giant in our backyard!

There is?

You know there is!

You could have been crushed!

But, Mother, look!

The most beautiful harp!

You've stolen too much!

You could have been killed

climbing down that plant!

Come on, quick!

We buried her under some leaves!

Here, here, it's here!

What's happening?

She's going to bring

Milky-White back to life.

She can do that?

She's a witch, she can do anything.

Stand back.

Milky-White, you're back!

I can't believe it!

It's almost midnight!

Quiet!

Feed the objects to the cow.

What?

You heard me! Feed them to the cow!

- Really?

- Just try it.

Fill that With milk.

I'll do it. She'll only milk for me.

Good boy.

Squeeze, pal. You can do it.

It's not working!

What?

Wrong ingredients.

Forget about your child.

No,no,no!

We followed your instructions.

One, the cow is as white as milk.

- Correct?

- Yes.

Two, the cape was certainly

as red as blood.

- Yes.

- Three, there was the slipper.

And four, I compared

the hair to this ear of corn!

I pulled this from a maiden in a tower.

You what?

What were you doing there?

Nothing, I was passing by.

I touched that hair!

I told you I can't have touched

any of the ingredients!

How are we supposed...

- The corn! The corn!

- What?

You can use the silky hair off the corn!

- Yes. Pull it from the ear.

- Yes!

Feed it to the cow. Quickly!

It's working!

She's milking!

At last!

That was quick!

And it came to pass

all that seemed wrong was now right.

The Witch succeeded

in reversing her mother's curse.

Cinderella finally stopped

running from her Prince.

Jack was reunited

with his beloved cow,

and his mother could now dress in the

best a golden egg could buy.

And the Baker and his wife

were proud parents

of a strapping baby boy.

Thanks for the slipper!

Attention!

Let us cheer the newlyweds

as they embark...

And so,

with the kingdom filled with joy,

those who deserved to

were destined to live happily ever...

Jack!

Rapunzel!

- Attention! Attention!

- Rapunzel!

Let there be no panic!

No panic!

Jack!

Jack!

The Royal Prince

wishes to address his loyal subjects.

Attention!

There is no need for worry.

It was just an earthquake

in a far quadrant of our kingdom.

Nothing to fear at all.

I will personally

investigate the disturbance.

Now everyone, back to your villages

and on with your lives.

But as they made

their way back into the woods,

their familiar paths

were nowhere to be found.

And their lives were about

to take an unexpected turn.

Here, here, watch out.

I'm sure this is the way home.

Everything's so different.

Oh, look.

Hello, little one.

Hello, Mr. Baker.

Are you all right?

What are you doing here,

with a suitcase?

I'm moving in with my granny.

Our whole village collapsed,

and I couldn't find my mother anywhere,

and now I can't find

my granny's cottage.

What do you mean?

Well, I went down the dell,

but I didn't recognize anything.

There was no path!

Where is she? Where's Granny?

- It's okay. It's okay.

- Calm down, calm down.

We can help you find

Granny's without the path.

Will you just hold

him for a few moments?
