[00:04.076] Anything can happen in the woods.
[00:07.519] May I kiss you-?
[00:09.210] Any moment we could be crushed.
[00:12.969] uh-
[00:14.000] Don't feel rushed.
[00:18.341] This is ridiculous,
[00:19.579] What am I doing here?
[00:20.498] I'm in the wrong story.
[00:24.238] Wait one moment, please! We can't do this!
[00:28.237] Of course, you're right. How foolish.
[00:31.789] Foolishness can happen in the woods.
[00:35.105] Once again, please-
[00:36.651] Let your hesitations be hushed.
[00:41.803] Any moment, big or small,
[00:43.883] Is a moment, after all.
[00:46.038] Seize the moment, skies may fall
[00:48.116] Any moment.
[00:52.492] Days are made of moments,
[00:54.929] All are worth exploring.
[00:56.902] Many kinds of moments-
[00:59.007] None is worth ignoring.
[01:01.258] All we have are moments,
[01:03.521] Memories for storing.
[01:05.583] One would be so boring...
[01:09.010]
[01:11.844] But this is not right!
[01:16.065] Right and wrong don't matter in the woods,
[01:19.753] Only feelings.
[01:20.905] Let us meet the moment unblushed.
[01:24.985] Life is often so unpleasant-
[01:27.179] You must know that, as a peasant-
[01:29.344] Best to take the moment present
[01:31.516] As a present for the moment.
[01:34.012]
[01:37.551] I must leave you.
[01:39.629] Why?
[01:40.880] The Giant.
[01:43.035] Will we find each other in the woods again?
[01:47.439] This was just a moment in the woods.
[01:51.525] Our moment,
[01:53.210] Shimmering and lovely and sad.
[01:57.744] Leave the moment, just be glad
[01:59.889] For the moment that we had.
[02:01.950] Every moment is of moment
[02:04.136] When you're in the woods...
[02:06.781]
[02:08.721] Goodbye.
[02:10.352]
[02:13.541] What was that?
[02:18.195]
[02:20.665] Was that me?
[02:23.938] Was that him?
[02:25.158] Did a Prince really kiss me?
[02:28.084] And kiss me?
[02:30.881] And kiss me?
[02:33.860] And did I kiss him back?
[02:37.715] Was it wrong?
[02:38.807] Am I mad?
[02:39.962] Is that all?
[02:41.066] Does he miss me?
[02:42.287] Was he suddenly
[02:43.214] Getting bored with me?
[02:45.358] Wake up! Stop dreaming.
[02:47.276] Stop prancing about the woods.
[02:49.534] It's not besseming.
[02:51.439] What is it about the woods?
[02:53.927] Back to life, back to sense,
[02:55.461] Back to child, back to husband,
[02:56.991] You can't live in the woods.
[02:59.891] There are vows, there are ties,
[03:01.888] There are needs, there are standards,
[03:03.454] There are shouldn'ts and shoulds.
[03:06.665] Why not both instead?
[03:09.351] There's the answer, if you're clever:
[03:12.826] have a child for warmth,
[03:15.394] And a Baker for bread,
[03:16.754] And a Prince for whatever-
[03:20.413] Never!
[03:21.069] It's these woods.
[03:24.131] Face the facts, find the boy,
[03:25.483] Join the group, stop the Giant-
[03:27.207] Just get out of these woods.
[03:30.401] Was that him? yes it was.
[03:31.921] Was that me? No it wasn't,
[03:33.414] Just a trick of the woods.
[03:36.582] Just a moment,
[03:39.100] One peculiar passing moment...
[03:42.981] Must it all be either less or more,
[03:45.361] Either plain or grand?
[03:46.977] Is it always "or"?
[03:48.784] Is it never "and"?
[03:51.893] That's what woods are for:
[03:54.787] For those moments in the woods...
[04:01.903] Oh. if life were made of moments,
[04:05.027] Even now and then a bad one-!
[04:08.893] But if life were only moments,
[04:11.889] Then you'd never know you had one.
[04:16.208] First a Witch, then a child,
[04:17.710] Then a Prince, then a moment-
[04:19.536] Who can live in the woods?
[04:22.646] And to get what you wish,
[04:24.291] Only just for a moment-
[04:25.975] These are dangerous woods...
[04:28.978] Let the moment go...
[04:31.833] Don't forget it for a moment, though.
[04:35.411] Just remembering you've had and "and",
[04:38.364] When you're back to "or",
[04:41.053] Makes the "or" mean more
[04:43.260] Than it did before.
[04:45.833] Now I understand-
[04:49.629] And it's time to leave the woods.
