Into The Woods (2014) Page #9

---

But you said we had

to find our way out of this together.

It doesn't matter if we're

together or we're apart.

We need your help.

You don't understand!

I depended on my wife for everything!

She was the one who helped.

You would leave your child?

He'll be happier

in the arms of a princess.

But wait!

What are you doing here?

Son...

I don't want to talk to you.

It's because of you all of this happened!

- Go away!

- I'm sorry. I did a foolish thing.

Why would you do that?

Why did you take the Witch's beans?

They were there and I wanted them.

I didn't think. I was being careless.

- Selfish.

- Yes.

You stole and you got caught,

and you did what you do.

You just ran away.

When your mother died, I was...

I hated myself. I ran away

from my guilt and my shame.

And your son.

Yes, my son, and I'm sorry for that.

- Then what do you want?

- Aren't you making the same mistake?

Aren't you running away?

Be better than me,

SOD.

Do better.

See, so this is you,

and you're going to come over here.

If there were just some way

we could surprise the giant.

She's too tall to surprise.

So, that's why

I'm going to be behind here.

Yeah, and then you can come here,

climb on top...

I knew you wouldn't give up.

He wouldn't leave his baby.

It looked like he was going to.

Give me my son.

What are we gonna do now?

We need to rid this kingdom

of the giant together.

She'll be back soon, so here's the plan.

We're going to feed Jack to the giant.

- What?

- No!

- We're going to use you as bait!

- Bait?

To lure the giant to the tar pit.

The birds can help!

Good friends, we need

your help now more than ever.

What of the prince?

That doesn't matter now.

What's important is that

we find a way to defeat the giant.

Yes!

Thank you, birds!

You can talk to birds?

The birds will do their part.

- Okay, we don't have much time.

- I'm excited!

- First, we'll need a weapon.

- I wish I had my sling!

We can make some.

Your father is being very brave.

We're going to be very brave too.

Are you all right, miss?

The giant went in that direction.

My darling!

Oh, my darling!

I did not recognize you.

What are you doing here?

And with a child?

You must get back to the castle at once.

There is a giant on the loose.

I'm well aware of that.

My love, what is it?

Maybe I'm not your only love.

I love you! Truly, I do.

If you love me, why did you stray?

I thought that if you were mine,

I would never wish for more.

If this is how you behave as a prince,

what kind of king will you be?

I was raised to be charming,

not sincere.

I think you should go.

Is that what you really wish?

My father's house was a nightmare.

Your house a dream.

Now I want something in-between.

I shall always love

the maiden who ran away.

And I the faraway prince.

Careful. Not so fast.

Don't worry.

This is easier than the beanstalk.

They're up in the tree! Over there!

We made slings out of my cape!

I wanted to climb the tree too.

I'm glad you're here to help me.

What's wrong?

I think my granny

and my mother would be upset with me.

Why?

They said to always make them proud.

And here I am, about to kill somebody.

Not somebody.

A giant who's done a lot of harm.

But a giant is a person.

Aren't we to show forgiveness?

Mother cannot guide you

Now you're on your own

Only me beside you

Still you're not alone

No one is alone, truly

No one is alone

I Wish...

I know.

Wait until my mother

hears I've slain the giant.

Jack,

there's something you need to know.

It's about your mother.

What?

She didn't make it.

- Was she killed by the giant?

- No.

It wasn't like that.

She was fighting with the giant,

she was trying to protect you,

and she was pushed by the Steward.

And she fell.

- The Steward will pay for this.

- No, Jack!

After we slay the giant, I will slay him!

You'll do nothing of the kind.

What he did was wrong.

He should be punished.

It's not as easy as that.

Mother isn't here now

Wrong things, right things

Who knows what she'd say?

Who can say what's true?

Nothing's quite so clear now

Do things, fight things

Feel you've lost your way?

You decide

But you are not alone

Believe me

No one is alone

No one is alone

Believe me

Truly

People make mistakes

Fathers

Mothers

People make mistakes

Holding to their own

Thinking they're alone

Honor their mistakes

Fight for their mistakes

Everybody makes

One another's

Terrible mistakes

Witches can be right

Giants can be good

You decide what's right

You decide what's good

Just remember

Just remember

Someone is on your side

Our side

Our side

Someone else is not

While we're seeing our side

- Our side

- Our side

Maybe we forgot

They are not alone

No one is alone

Someone is on your side

No one is alo...

Go, Jack.

- Be careful.

- Yeah.

Here she comes.

Where is the boy?

We have him!

Where?

He's hiding in that tree!

Here I am!

You ready?

Ready!

Good birds!

She does not look happy.

- Look out, Jack!

- Jack!

Jack!

Jack?

- Where are they?

- Jack!

Jack!

Mr. Baker!

- Jack!

- Over here!

Jack!

Take him!

Be careful!

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

Careful, careful!

Where is he?

- He's not with you?

- Jack!

Mr. Baker!

Jack!

Help me!

Jack, I'm here!

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

- Okay?

- Yeah!

You okay? You all right?

- Yeah.

- All right? Yeah?

We did it.

We did it!

And now we can return home.

What home?

I have no one to take care of me.

And we have nowhere to go.

So we'll move in with you.

Well, it's...

Of course.

Of course you can come

and stay with me.

And you can come too!

- Only if you want to.

- I'll gladly help you with your house.

There are times

I actually enjoy cleaning.

Here.

What's this?

Come on, now.

I know.

I know, you miss your mother.

I miss her too.

Please.

Maybe I just wasn't

meant to have children.

Don't say that.

Of course you were

meant to have children.

But how can I go about being a father

when I had no father to show me?

Just calm the child

Yes, calm the child

Look, tell him the story

Of how it all happened

Be father and mother

You'll know what to do

Alone.

Sometimes people leave you

Halfway through the wood

Do not let it grieve you

No one leaves for good

You are not alone

No one is alone

Hold him to the light now

Let him see the glow

Things will be all right now

Tell him what you know

Once upon a time, in a far off kingdom,

there lay a small village

at the edge of the woods.

Careful the things you say

- And in this village...

- Children will listen

...there lived a young maiden...

- Careful the things you do

-...a carefree young lad...

Children will see

...and a childless baker...

And learn

...With his Wife.

Guide them along the way

Children will glisten

Children will look to you

For which way to turn

To learn what to be

Careful before you say "Listen to me"

Children will listen

Careful the wish you make

Wishes are children

Careful the path they take
