Into the Woods

Mysterious Man:
Every knot was once straight rope.

Cinderella:
Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor.

The Bakers Wife:
You may know what you need, but to get what you want, better see that you keep what you have.

Narrator:
You need an objective observer to pass the story along.

Witch:
Some of us don't like the way you've been telling it.

The Bakers Wife:
If the end is right it justifies the beans.

Cinderella's Prince:

Mysterious Man:
When first I appear, I seem mysterious, but when explained, I'm nothing serious.

Mysterious Man:
When first I appear, I seem delirious, but when explained, I'm nothing serious.

Mysterious Man:
When first I appear, I seem deleterious, but when explained, I'm nothing serious.

Cinderella's Stepmother:
When going to hide, know how to get there.

Cinderella's Father:
And how to get back.

Lucinda:

Cinderella:
Now it's he and not you who is stuck with the shoe... in a stew... in the goo... and you've learned something too... something you never knew... on the steps of the palace!

Cinderella's Mother:
Do you know what you wish? Are you certain what you wish is what you want? If you know what you want, then make a wish.

Cinderella:
But then how do you know who you are till you know what you want? Which you 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 and you know that you'll never belong? But whichever you pick, do it quick, 'cause you're starting to stick to the steps of the palace!

The Bakers Wife:
Please! I need the other shoe to have a child!

The Baker:
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.

Witch:
Careful the things you say, children will listen. Careful the things you do, children will see. And learn. Children may not obey, but children will listen. 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.

Witch:
Careful the tale you tell. That is the spell. Children will listen.

Witch:
You're so nice. You're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice. I'm not good, I'm not nice, I'm just right. I'm the Witch. You're the world.

The Bakers Wife:
Oh if life were made of moments, even now and then a bad one, but if life were made of moments then you'd never know you'd had one.

Rapunzel's Prince:
Rapunzel! Rapunzel! What kind of a name is that?

Cinderella's Prince:
I was raised to be charming, not sincere.

The Bakers Wife:
She went that way.

Cinderella's Prince:
I can capture my own damsel, thank you.

The Baker:
I'd have kept those beans, but our house was cursed. She made us get a cow to get the curse reversed!

Witch:
It's his father's fault that the curse got placed, and the place got cursed in the first place!

Jack's Mother:
Giants never strike the same house twice.

Little Red Riding Hood:
A wolf and a person aren't the same thing.

Witch:
Ask a wolf's mother.

Little Red Riding Hood:
You can talk to birds?

Cinderella's Prince:
If it weren't for the thicket...

Rapunzel's Prince:
A thicket's no trick, is it thick?

Cinderella's Prince:
It's the thickest.

Rapunzel's Prince:
The quickest is pick it apart with a stick.

Cinderella's Prince:
Yes, but even one prick, it's my thing about blood...

Rapunzel's Prince:
Well it's sick.

Cinderella's Prince:
No sicker than your thing with dwarves.

Rapunzel's Prince:
Dwarves?

Cinderella's Prince:
Dwarves.

Wolf:
There's no possible way to describe what you feel... when you're talking to your meal.

Little Red Riding Hood:
Oh dear. How uneasy I feel...

Lucinda:
Never wear mauve to a ball.

Florinda:
...or pink!

Cinderella's Stepmother:
...or open your mouth.

Rapunzel's Prince:
High in her tower she sits by the hour maintaining her hair, blythe and becoming and frequently humming a light-hearted air, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Agony! Far more painful than yours, When you know she would go with you, if there only were doors

Rapunzel's Prince:

Rapunzel's Prince:
What's as intriguing

Cinderella's Prince:
Or half so fatiguing

Rapunzel's Prince:

Little Red Riding Hood:
Nice is different than Good.

Jack's Mother:
Slotted spoons don't hold much soup.
