[00:03.694] Jack's Mother: The slotted spoon CAN catch the potato...
[00:07.126] Mysterious Man: Every knot was once straight rope..
[00:11.356] Princes: The harder to wake, the better to have..
[00:12.687] Snow White, Sleeping Beauty: (Yawn) Excuse me.
[00:14.765] Steward: The greater the good, the harder the blow..
[00:18.300] Stepmother: When going to hide, know how to get there.
[00:20.834] Cinderella's Father: And how to get back..
[00:22.343] Florinda, Lucinda: And eat first..
[00:25.613] Granny: The knife that is sharp today may be dull by tomorrow..
[00:29.362] Rapunzel: Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah..
[00:36.862] Baker: Maybe I just wasn't meant to have children--
[00:40.722] Wife: Don't say that! Of course you were meant to have children..
[00:42.762] Baker: But how will I go about being a father
[00:44.675] With no one to mother my child?
[00:46.274] Wife: Just calm the child.
[00:48.123] Baker: Yes, calm the child.
[00:50.227] Wife: Look, tell him the story of how it all happened.
[00:52.934] Be father and mother, you'll know what to do.
[00:55.734] Baker: Alone..
[00:59.504] Wife: Sometimes people leave you
[01:04.443] Halfway through the wood.
[01:07.804] Do not let it grieve you,
[01:12.425] No one leaves for good.
[01:15.788] You are not alone.
[01:18.824] No one is alone.
[01:24.094] Hold him to the light now,
[01:30.294] Let him see the glow.
[01:34.855] Things will be all right now.
[01:39.083] Tell him what you know..
[01:43.024] Baker: Shhh. Once upon a time...in a far-off kingdom...lived a young
[01:53.013] maiden...a sad young lad..and a childless baker...with his wife.
[01:54.718]Witch [simultaneously with Baker] :
[01:55.495] Careful the things you say,
[01:58.394] Children will listen.
[02:03.094] Careful the things you do,
[02:05.674] Children will see.
[02:09.425] And learn.
[02:13.408] Guide them along the way,
[02:17.140] Children will glisten.
[02:21.210] Children will look to you
[02:24.198] For which way to turn,
[02:27.518] To learn what to be.
[02:32.009] Careful before you say,
[02:34.461] "Listen to me."
[02:37.858] Children will listen.
[02:42.347] Company: (SLOW)Careful the wish you make,
[02:45.877] Wishes are children.
[02:49.650] Careful the path they take,
[02:52.150] Wishes come true,
[02:56.057] Not free.
[03:03.789] Careful the spell you cast,
[03:06.599] Not just on children.
[03:10.448] Sometimes the spell may last
[03:13.399] Past what you can see
[03:16.978] And turn against you...
[03:20.961] Witch: Careful the tale you tell.
[03:23.509] That is the spell.
[03:27.667] Children will listen..
[03:30.458]Company [in three groups: round] (FAST): Though it's fearful,
[03:31.417] Though it's deep, though it's dark
[03:32.389] And though you may lose the path,
[03:33.685] Though you may encounter wolves,
[03:35.415] You can't just act,
[03:36.758] You have to listen.
[03:37.806] you can't just act,
[03:38.312] You have to think.
[03:39.663] Though it's dark,
[03:42.732] There are always wolves,
[03:43.643] There are always spells,
[03:44.515] There are always beans,
[03:45.603]Or a giant dwells there.{unison]
[03:46.643] So into the woods you go again,
[03:48.433] You have to every now and then.
[03:50.254] Into the woods, no telling when,
[03:51.823] Be ready for the journey.
[03:54.082] Into the woods, but not too fast
[03:55.603] or what you wish, you lose at last.
[03:57.583] Into the woods, but mind the past.
[03:59.432] Into the woods, but mind the future.
[04:01.155] Into the woods, but not to stray,
[04:03.293] Or tempt the wolf, or steal from the giant--
[04:04.823] The way is dark,
[04:06.843] The light is dim,
[04:08.754] But now there's you, me, her, and him.
[04:12.086] The chances look small,
[04:13.953] The choices look grim,
[04:15.798] But everything you learn there
[04:17.683] Will help when you return there.
[04:19.864] Baker, Jack, Cinderella, LRRH: The light is getting dimmer..
[04:21.534] Baker: I think I see a glimmer--
[04:30.724] All: Into the woods--you have to grope,
[04:32.442] But that's the way you learn to cope.
[04:34.083] Into the woods to find there's hope
[04:35.885] Of getting through the journey.
[04:37.895] Into the woods, each time you go,
[04:39.423] There's more to learn of what you know.
[04:41.122] Into the woods, but not too slow--
[04:43.356] Into the woods, it's nearing midnight--
[04:45.015] Into the woods to mind the wolf,
[04:46.517] To heed the witch, to honor the giant,
[04:48.514] To mind, to heed, to find, to think, to teach, to join, to go to the Festival!
[04:52.466] Into the woods,
[04:54.306] Into the woods,
[04:56.144] Into the woods,
[04:57.076] Then out of the woods--
[05:01.514] And happy ever after!
[05:03.403] Cinderella: I wish...
[05:06.796]
