Once upon a time,
in a far off kingdom,

there lay a small village
at the edge of the woods.

I wish

And in this village...

More than anything

...lived a young maiden...

More than life
More than jewels

...a carefree young lad...

I wish

More than life

...and a childless baker...

I wish

...with his wife.

- More than anything
- More than the moon

I wish

The King is giving a Festival

More than life

- I wish
- I wish to go to the Festival

More than riches

And the Ball

I wish my cow would give us some milk

- More than anything
- I wish we had a child

Please, pal

I want a child

I wish to go to the Festival

I wish you'd give us
some milk or even cheese

I wish

You wish to go to the Festival?

The poor girl's parents had died.

You, Cinderella, the Festival?

You wish to go to the Festival?

The Festival? The King's Festival?

And now she lived with her stepmother.

The Festival?

Who had two daughters of her own.

- Look at your nails
- Look at your dress

- People would laugh at you
- Nevertheless

She still wants to go to the Festival

And dance before the Prince

All three were beautiful of face,

but vile and black of heart.

The young lad had no father,
and his mother...

I wish

...well, she was at her wits' end.

I wish my son were not a fool

I wish my house was not a mess

I wish the cow was full of milk

I wish the walls were full of gold

I wish a lot of things

What in heaven's name
are you doing with the cow

inside the house?

I thought if he were nice and warm,
he might produce some milk.

It's a she!

How many times do I
have to tell you that

only "she"s can give milk?

And then,
there was a hungry little girl,

who always wore a red cape.

Hey!

I wish

It's not for me
It's for my granny in the woods

A loaf of bread
Please

To bring my poor old
hungry granny In the woods

Just a loaf of bread
Please

Cinderella.

If you can pick up these lentils,

and finish your chores in time,

then you may go to the Ball with us.

Come along, ladies.

Yes, Mother.

Good luck.

Come, little birds

Down from the eaves and the leaves

Over fields, out of castles and ponds

No, squeeze, pal

Quick, little birds
Flick through the ashes

Pick and peck, but swiftly
Sift through the ashes

Into the pot

Bull's-eye!

What are you doing?

Stop your pretending!

Now listen to me well, son.

Milky-White must be taken to market.

Mother, no!
He's the best cow in the world!

Was. She has been dry for weeks now.

We've no food or money
and no choice but to sell her.

But Milky-White's my best friend!

Look at her!

There are bugs on her dugs

There are flies in her eyes

There's a lump on her rump
Big enough to be a hump

- But, Mother...
- We've no time to sit and dither

While her withers wither with her

And no one keeps a cow for a friend

Sometimes I wonder
what's going on in that head of yours.

Into the woods, it's time to go

I hate to leave, I have to, though

Into the woods, it's time and so

I must begin my journey

Into the woods and through the trees

To where I am expected, ma'am

Into the woods, to Grandmother's house

- Stop it.
- I can't just...

Into the woods, to Grandmother's house

Are you certain of your way?

The way is clear
The light is good

I have no fear
Nor no one should

The woods are just trees
The trees are just wood

I sort of hate to ask it
But do you have a basket?

Yes, we do.

I don't suppose
you're planning on buying any of these?

Now, don't stray and be late, all right?

You might save
some of those sweets for Granny.

- Oh, my...
- Just leave it.

She's a thief!

Into the woods and down the dell

The path is straight, I know it well

Into the woods, and who can tell

What's waiting on the journey

Into the woods to bring some bread

To Granny who is sick in bed

Never can tell what lies ahead

For all that I know, she's already dead

But into the woods
Into the woods

Into the woods, to Grandmother's house

And home before dark

Cinderella!

Get up here!

Fly, birds
Back to the sky

We're waiting!

Back to the eaves and the leaves

And the fields and the...

Hurry up and do my hair, Cinderella

Are you really wearing that?

Here, I found a little tear, Cinderella

Can't you hide it with a hat?

- You look beautiful
- I know.

- She means me.
- No, she didn't.

Mother said be good
Father said be nice

That was always their advice

So be nice, Cinderella
Good Cinderella

- Nice good, good nice
- Tighter!

What's the good of being good
If everyone is blind

Always leaving you behind
Never mind, Cinderella

Kind Cinderella
Nice, good, nice, kind, good, nice

Not that tight! Clod!

Who might that be?

We've sold our last loaf of bread!

It's the Witch from next door.

We have no bread.

I don't want your bread.

Then what is it you wish?

It's not what I wish.
It's what you wish.

Nothing cooking in that
belly now, is there?

And there will never be.

Unless

you do exactly as I say.

In three days' time,
a Blue Moon will appear.

Only then can the curse be undone.

What curse?

The one I placed on this house.

What are you talking about?

In the past,

When you were no more than a babe,

your father brought
his young wife and you to this cottage.

They were a lovely couple.

But not lovely neighbors.

You see, your mother was with child,

and she developed an unusual appetite.

She admired my beautiful garden,

and she told your father

that what she wanted

more than anything in the world...

Was greens, greens
Nothing but greens

Parsley, peppers, cabbages and celery

Asparagus and watercress
And fiddleferns and lettuce

He said, "All right"
But it wasn't, quite

'Cause I caught him
in the autumn In my garden one night

He was robbing me
Raping me

Rooting through my rutabaga
Raiding my arugula

And ripping up the rampion
My champion, my favorite

I should've laid a spell
on him right there.

I could've turned him into stone.

Or a dog.

Or a chair.

But I let him
have the rampion I'd lots to spare

In return, however I said, "Fair is fair

"You can let me have the baby
That your wife will bear

"And we'll call it square"

I had a brother?

No.

But you had a sister.

Where is she?

She's mine now,

and you'll never find her.

A small price to pay
for what else your father stole from me.

It cost me my youth, my beauty.

My mother warned me

she would punish me with the curse of
ugliness if I ever lost any of them.

Lost what?

The beans

- Beans?
- The special beans

I let him go
I didn't know he'd stolen my beans

I was watching him crawl
Back over the wall

When bang, crash
A lightning flash

Well, that's another story
Never mind, anyway

At last, the big day came
I made my claim

"Oh, don't take away the baby"
They shrieked and squeaked

But I did, and I hid her
Where she'll never be reached

Your father cried
And your mother died

When for extra measure
I admit, it was a pleasure

I said, "Sorry, I'm still not mollified"

And I laid a little spell on them

You, too, son.

That your family tree would always be

a barren one.

How could you do that?

And when your mother died,

your father deserted you.

Your father was no father,

so why should you be?

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Now there's no more fuss
And there's no more scenes

And my garden thrives
You should see my nectarines

But I'm telling you the same
I tell kings and queens

Don't ever, never, ever
Mess around with my greens

Especially the beans

Yeah, but why
do we have to go to the next village?

Because everyone in this village knows

the cow hasn't given
a drop of milk in weeks.

But that's cheating.

We're starving, Jack!

Don't you understand that?

Now, you're not to
accept less than five pounds for her.

Are you listening to me?

Yes.

How much are you to ask?

No more than five pounds.

- Less than five!
- Than five!

Into the woods, the time is now

We have to live, I don't care how

Into the woods to sell the cow

You must begin the journey

Straight through the woods,
and don't delay

We have to face the marketplace

Into the woods to journey's end

Into the woods to sell a friend

You wish to have the curse reversed?

I'll need a certain potion first.

Go to the wood and bring me back...

One, the cow as white as milk.

Two, the cape as red as blood.

Three, the hair as yellow as corn.

Four, the slipper as pure as gold.

Bring me these

before the chime of midnight
in three days' time.

'Tis then the Blue Moon reappears,

which comes but once each hundred years.

Bring them and I guarantee

a child as perfect as child can be.

Go to the wood!

Ladies, our carriage awaits!

Now may I go to the Festival?

The Festival?

Darling, those nails
Darling, those clothes

The lentils are one thing
But darling, with those

You'd make us the fools of the Festival

And mortify the Prince

The Festival lasts three nights.

Surely, you can let me
be there for one of them.

The King is trying to find his son
a wife, not a scullery maid!

We must be gone!

Stop it!

Come on.

Go!

I wish...

Look what I found. Here, take this.

I'm not wearing that.

- Why?
- It was my father's.

You heard what she said.
This is all his fault.

I want nothing to do with him.

Beans?

Oh, these must be the Witch's beans.

We'll take them with us.

- We?
- Yes.

We? You're not coming.
It's not safe out there.

I can help you!

No, I can do this on my own.

The spell is on my house
Only I can lift the spell

No, no, the spell is on our house

We must lift the spell together

The spell is on our house

Now, remind me,
what am I to return with?

You don't remember?

The cow as white as milk
The cape as red as blood

The hair as yellow as corn
The slipper as pure as gold

The cow as white as milk
The cape as red as blood

The hair as yellow as corn
The slipper as pure as gold

I still wish to go to the Festival

But how am I ever to
get to the Festival?

I know, I'll visit Mother's grave

The grave at the willow tree

And tell her I just want to go
To the King's Festival

Into the woods, it's time to go

It may be all in vain, you know

Into the woods, but even so
I have to take the journey

Into the woods, the path is straight
You know it well

But who can tell?

Into the woods to lift the spell

Into the woods to visit Mother

Into the woods to sell the cow

To get the money

To go to the Festival

Into the woods, to Grandmother's house

Into the woods, to Grandmother's house

The way is clear

The light is good

I have no fear
Nor no one should

The woods are just trees
The trees are just wood

No need to be afraid there

There's something in the glade there

Into the woods without delay

But careful not to lose the way

Into the woods, who knows what may

Be lurking on the journey

Into the woods to get the thing

That makes it worth the journeying

Into the woods to see the King

- To sell the cow
- To make the potion

To see, to sell
To get, to bring

To make, to lift
To go to the Festival

Into the woods

To see, to sell, to get, to bring

- Into the woods
- To make, to lift, to go to the Festival

Into the woods
Into the woods

Into the woods
Then out of the woods

To see, to sell
To get, to bring

To make, to lift
To go to the Festival

Into the woods
Then out of the woods

And home before dark

Deep within the woods

Cinderella had planted
a branch at the grave of her mother.

And she visited
there so often, and wept so much

that her tears watered it

until it had become a magnificent tree.

I wish...

What is it that you wish, child?

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

Ask the tree

And you shall have your wish

Thank you, Mother.

On her path to Granny's,

the little girl suddenly found herself

in a very unusual part of the wood.

Good day, young lady.

Good day, Mr. Wolf.

Whither away so hurriedly?

To my grandmother's.

And what might be in your basket?

Some bread. For Grandmother.

So she'll have something
good to make her strong.

And where might your grandmother live?

A good quarter of a league
further in the woods.

Her house stands
inside a great oak tree.

Look at that flesh
Pink and plump

Hello, little girl

Tender and fresh
Not one lump

Hello, little girl

This one's especially lush

Delicious

Hello, little girl
What's your rush?

You're missing all the flowers

The sun won't set for hours

Take your time

Mother said, "Straight ahead"
Not to delay or be misled

But slow, little girl
Hark and hush

The birds are singing sweetly

You'll miss the birds completely

You're traveling so fleetly

Grandmother first
Then Miss Plump

What a delectable couple

Utter perfection
One brittle, one supple

- One moment, my dear
- Mother said, "Come what may

"Follow the path and never stray"

Just so, little girl
Any path

So many worth exploring

Just one would be so boring

And look what you're ignoring

Think of those crisp, aging bones

Then something fresh on the palate

Think of that scrumptious carnality

Twice in one day

There's no possible way

To describe what you feel

When you're talking to your meal

For Granny.

Mother said not to stray

Still, I suppose, a small delay

Granny might like a fresh bouquet

Goodbye, Mr. Wolf

Goodbye, little girl

And hello

What are you waiting for? Get the cape!

You frightened me!

Get it, get it, get it, get it!

How am I supposed to get it?

You go up to the little thing,
and you take it!

I can't just take a cloak
from a little girl.

- Why don't you take it?
- It's the rules.

Why do you think
I asked you to do it in the first place?

I'm not allowed to touch
any of the objects.

Get me what I need!

Get me what I need!

Hello there, little girl.

Hello, Mr. Baker.

Have you saved some
of those sweets for Granny?

I ate all the sweets
and half a loaf of bread.

So I see.

Now, tell me, where did you
get that beautiful cape?

- My granny made it for me.
- Is that so?

I would love a red cape like that.

You would look pretty foolish.

I would, wouldn't I?

May I take a look at it?

- No!
- No, I need it badly.

It's mine! Give it back!

Give it back!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I just wanted to make sure

that you really loved that cape.

Now off you go to Granny's,

and be careful that
no wolf comes your way.

I'd rather a wolf than you any day!

This is hopeless!

I'm never gonna find that red cape,

or a yellow slipper and a golden cow.

Oh, wait, is it a golden slipper
and a yellow cow?

The cow as white as milk

The cape as red as blood

The hair as yellow as corn
The slipper as pure as...

- What are you doing here?
- You forgot your scarf.

You shouldn't be here.
It's not safe in these woods.

- I want to help.
- No!

- The spell is on my house
- Our house

Only I can lift the spell

- We must lift the spell together
- The spell is on my house

The spell is on...

A cow as white as...

Milk.

Go.

- Hello there, young lad.
- Hello, sir.

What might you be doing
with a cow in the middle of the forest?

I was heading towards market,

but I seem to have lost my way.

"What are you planning on doing there?"
What are you planning on doing there?

Sell my cow, sir.

No less than five pounds.

Five pounds?

Where are we supposed
to get five pounds?

She must be very generous
of milk to fetch five pounds.

Yes, ma'am.

And if you can't fetch that sum,
then what are you to do?

I hadn't thought of that.

This is all we have.

Beans?

Oh, no, we mustn't give up our beans!

Well, if you feel that we must.

Beans in exchange for my cow?

Oh, no, son.
These are no ordinary beans.

These beans, they carry magic.

Magic? What kind of magic?

Tell him.

It's...

- It's a magic that defies description.
- Yes.

- How many beans?
- Six.

- Five.
- Five.

They're worth a pound each, at least.

Could I buy my cow back someday?

- Well... Possibly.
- Yes.

So, yeah,

it seems like we've made a fair trade.

Okay.

Here you go. There's one, two,

three, four, five.

All right, well, good luck,

and pleasure doing business with you.

One day, I'll buy you back.

Promise.

Take the cow and go home.

I was just trying to help.

Magic beans?

We've no reason
to believe they're magic.

Are we to dispel this
curse through deceit?

No one would have given him
more for this creature.

We did him a favor.
At least they'll have some food now.

Five beans?

- Do you want a child or not?
- Of course I do.

We have one chance.

Don't you see that? And if we fail...

I'm not sure I'm cut out to be a father.

Why would you say that?

Because of my father.

You're not him!

I don't know.

If you can't do this for yourself,

can't you at least do it for me?

Okay. Fine. But will you
take the cow and go home?

I will find the rest of the things

on my own.

Stay.

Rapunzel!

Rapunzel!

Let down your hair to me!

Rapunzel?

The old enchantress
had given the name Rapunzel

to the child she had hidden away and
locked in a doorless tower.

But little did she know

that the girl's lilting voice
had caught the attention

of a handsome prince.

Rapunzel.

Don't you look lovely today, my dear.

Thank you, Mother.

I brought your favorite.

Blackberries.

Fresh from the garden.

As the little girl
approached her granny's oak tree,

she was surprised to see
the door standing open.

Oh, dear.

How uneasy I feel.

Perhaps it's all the sweets.

Granny?

Come in, my dearie.

My, Grandmother.

You're looking very strange.

What big ears you have.

The better to hear you with,

my dear.

And with a single bound

the big, bad Wolf
had devoured the little girl.

Well, it was a full day
of eating for both.

Help! Get us out!

I can't believe I just did that.

Wait!

Aren't you gonna help us
skin that beast?

No, no. No thanks.

What kind of hunter are you?

I'm a baker.

Wait a minute, I never thanked you!

You need to be more careful, young lady.

I'm sorry.

I should have known better.

Mother said, "Straight ahead"
Not to delay or be misled

I should have heeded her advice

But he seemed so nice

And he showed me things
Many beautiful things

That I hadn't thought to explore

They were off my path
So I never had dared

I had been so careful

I never had cared

And he made me feel excited
Well, excited and scared

When he said, "Come in"
With that sickening grin

How could I know what was in store?

Once his teeth were bared,
though I really got scared

Well, excited and scared

But he drew me close

And he swallowed me down

Down a dark, slimy path

Where lie secrets
That I never want to know

And when everything familiar

Seemed to disappear forever

At the end of the path
Was Granny once again

So we lay in the dark
Till you came and set us free

And you brought us to the light

And we're back at the start

And I know things now
Many valuable things

That I hadn't known before

Do not put your faith

In a cape and a hood

They will not protect you
The way that they should

And take extra care with strangers

Even flowers have their dangers

And though scary is exciting

Nice is different than good

Mr. Baker, you saved our lives.

Here.

- Are you certain?
- Yes.

Maybe Granny will make me another
one out of the skins of that wolf.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Now I know: don't be scared

Granny is right, just be prepared

Isn't it nice to know a lot

And a little bit

Not

How could you do this?

What sort of boy exchanges
a cow for beans?

But they're magic. The man said.

Get your head out of the clouds, Jack!

Mother, no!

Go on, get in there!

You and your worthless
adventures, Jack! Will you never learn?

To bed without supper for you!

Beans!

The first night of the Festival Ball

brought Cinderella her wish.

The Prince danced only with her,

till he turned,
and she had slipped away.

That way!

Quickly!

I must find that girl.

- Are you all right, miss?
- Yes.

I just need to catch my breath.

Oh, what a beautiful gown!

Were you at the King's Festival?

Yes.

Aren't you the lucky one.

Why ever are you in
the woods at this hour?

This way!

Please don't let them
know that I'm here.

Oh, my God.

Have you seen a beautiful young
woman in a ball gown pass through?

I don't think so, sir.

If I may, My Lord,
I think I see her over there!

Onward!

I've never lied to royalty before.

I've never anything to royalty before!

Thank you.

If a prince were looking for me,
I certainly wouldn't hide.

What brings you here,

and with a cow?

Well, my husband's
somewhere in the woods.

He's undoing a spell.

Yes.

But tell me, the Prince,
what was he like?

He's a very nice prince

And?

And...

It's a very nice ball

And?

And...

When I entered, they trumpeted

And? The Prince?

- Oh, the Prince
- Yes, the Prince

Well, he's tall

Is that all?

Did you dance? Is he charming?

They say that he's charming

We did nothing but dance

Yes?

- And?
- And it made a nice change

No, the Prince

- Oh, the Prince
- Yes, the Prince

He has charm for a prince, I guess

You guess?

I don't meet a wide range

And it's all very strange

But why would you run away?

It's not quite what I expected.

What? Princes and castles and gowns?

I have no experience with those things.

But you will return to
the Festival tomorrow eve?

Yes.

No.

I don't know.

You don't know?

What I wouldn't give
to be in your shoes.

Well, your slippers.

As pure as gold?

I must get home.

No, wait. I need your shoes!

Milky-White!

One midnight gone!

Already?

Get the cow!

Mr. Baker! Mr. Baker!

Good fortune! Good fortune, sir!

Look what I have! Five gold pieces!

How would you come by five gold pieces?

There are giants in the sky

There are big, tall,
terrible giants in the sky

When you're way up high
And you look below

At the world you've left
And the things you know

Little more than a glance
Is enough to show you

Just how small you are

When you're way up high
And you're on your own

In a world like none
That you've ever known

Where the sky is lead
And the earth is stone

You're free to do
Whatever pleases you

Exploring things you'd never dare

'Cause you don't care
When suddenly there's

A big, tall, terrible giant at the door

A giant?

A big, tall, terrible lady giant

Sweeping the floor

And she gives you food
And she gives you rest

And she draws you close
To her giant breast

And you know things now

That you never knew before

Not till the sky

Only just when you've made
A friend and all

And you know she's big
But you don't feel small

Someone bigger than her
Comes along the hall

To swallow you for lunch

And your heart is lead
And your stomach stone

And you're really scared
Being all alone

And it's then that you miss
All the things you've known

And the world you've left
And the little you own

The fun is done
You steal what you can and run

And you scramble down
And you look below

And the world you know
Begins to grow

The roof, the house
And your mother at the door

The roof

The house
And the world you never

Thought to explore

And you think of
All of the things you've seen

And you wish that
You could live in between

And you're back again

Only different than before

After the sky

There are giants in the sky

There are big, tall, terrible
Awesome, scary

Wonderful giants

In the sky

There's your money, sir.
Five gold pieces.

Where's my Milky-White?

Milky-White is at home with my wife.

- Let's go find them.
- No, wait.

I'm not sure I want to sell.

But you said I could buy her back.

- Do you want more money?
- No.

You keep that, I'll fetch some more.

I'll just go back up the beanstalk.

Wait!

Wait! Wait!

Wait!

Wait! Wait!

I said wait!

What are you doing here?

Well...

I see you got the cape!

Yes, I've got the cape.

- Only two items left.
- Three.

Two. We've the cape and the cow.

You've got the cape!

What have you done with the cow?

- She ran away.
- What?

I never even reached home.
I've been looking for her all night.

How could you?

Well, she might
just as easily have run away from you.

- Yeah, but she didn't.
- Yeah, but she might have done.

- But she didn't.
- But she might have done!

But she didn't!

Who cares?

Cow's gone! Get it back! Get it back!

We were just about to do that,

but here, in the meantime,
we've got this.

Get away from me with that, you fool!

I can't touch it, remember?

Right. No, I forgot.

By midnight tomorrow bring me the items,

or that child you wish for will
never see the light of day!

I don't like that woman.

I'm sorry I lost the cow.

I shouldn't have yelled.

Will you go back to the village?

I will make things right.

And we can carry on with our lives.

No more witches or dim-witted boys

or hungry little girls.

Will you go?

Please.

Go.

Good brother!

I was wondering where you had gone.
I've been searching all night for her.

Her?

The beautiful one
I danced the evening with.

Where did she go?

Disappeared,

like the fine morning mist.

She was lovely?

The loveliest.

I'm not certain of that.

I must confess, I, too,
have found a lovely maiden.

She lives here, in the woods.

- In the woods?
- Yes!

On top of a tall tower
that has no doors or stairs.

Where?

Two leagues from here, due east,

just beyond the mossy knoll
near the rose thickets.

And how do you manage a visit?

I stand beneath her tower

and I say, "Rapunzel!
Rapunzel, let down your hair to me."

And she lowers the longest,

most beautiful head of hair,

yellow as corn,

which I climb.

Rapunzel?

- Rapunzel?
- Yeah.

What kind of name is that? You jest!

Never heard of such a thing.

I speak the truth!

She's as true as your maiden.

A maiden running from a prince?

None would run from us.

Yet one has.

Did I abuse her?
Or show her disdain?

Why does she run from me?

If I should lose her
How shall I regain

The heart she has won from me?

Agony

Beyond power of speech

When the one thing you want

Is the only thing out of your reach

High in her tower

She sits by the hour

Maintaining her hair

Blithe and becoming
And frequently humming

A lighthearted air

Agony

Far more painful than yours

When you know she would go with you

If there only were doors

Agony

Oh, the torture they teach

What's as intriguing

Or half so fatiguing

As what's out of reach?

Am I not sensitive

Clever, well-mannered, considerate

Passionate, charming
As kind as I'm handsome

And heir to a throne?

You are everything
maidens could wish for

- Then why no?
- Do I know?

The girl must be mad

You know nothing of madness

Till you're climbing her hair
And you see her up there

As you're nearing her
All the while hearing her

Agony

- Misery
- Woe

Though it's different for each

Always ten steps behind

Always ten feet below

And she's just out of reach

Agony

That can cut like a knife

I must have her

To wife

Rapunzel, Rapunzel.

Let down your hair to me.

Is that you at this hour, my Prince?

Yes.

Excuse me for this.

As the Baker's wife
bolted from the tower,

the second night of the Festival
was thrown into chaos...

Stop!

...when Cinderella, once again,
ran from the Prince.

What are you doing?

So sorry, I need your shoe.

I see her over there!

Who is she? Where did she go?

I have no idea, sir.

Don't play the fool, woman.

No, I was trying
to hold her here for you.

I can capture my own damsel,

- thank you.
- Yes, of course.

There's no sign of her, my liege.
Well, what are you waiting for?

See if you can find her. Go!

The woods can be a dangerous place.

On!

I hope that skinny girl
isn't there tomorrow night.

I mean, who was that girl?

Please, if you would be so kind,

may I compare this ear
of corn to your hair?

You savage!

Mongrel!

He is revolting!

Milky-White!

- I thought you were returning home!
- It's you!

You've got the cow!

Yes, I've got the cow.
We've two of the four.

- No, three.
- Two.

Three! Compare this to your corn.

Where did you find it?

Just pulled it from a maiden in a tower.

- Three!
- Three.

And I almost had the fourth,
but she got away.

We've one entire day left.

Surely we can locate
the slipper by then.

We?

Do you mean
you're going to let me stay with you?

Perhaps it will take two of us
to have this child.

You've changed
You're daring

You're different in the woods

More sure
More sharing

You're getting us through the woods

If you could see

You're not the man who started

And much more open-hearted

Than I knew you to be

It takes two

I thought one was enough
It's not true

It takes two of us
You came through

When the journey was rough
It took you

It took two of us
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

You've changed

You're thriving
There's something about the woods

Not just surviving

You're blossoming in the woods

At home I'd fear

We'd stay the same forever

And then, out here

You're passionate, charming
Considerate, clever

It takes one

To begin
But then once you've begun

It takes two of you
It's no fun

But what needs to be done
You can do

When there's two of you

If I dare

It's because I'm becoming
Aware of us

As a pair of us

Each accepting a share

Of what's there

We've changed

We're strangers
I'm meeting you in the woods

Who minds what dangers?

I know we'll get past the woods

And once we're past

Let's hope the changes last

Beyond woods

Beyond witches and slippers and hoods

Just the two of us
Beyond lies

Safe at home with our beautiful prize

Just the few of us
It takes trust

It takes just a bit more
And we're done

We want four, we had none

We've got three
We need one

It takes two

Stop it! Stop my egg!

Oh, brilliant! My Milky-White!

I've missed you so much!

Where did you get this?

From the giant's hen.

A golden egg!
I've never seen a golden egg before.

And you can have it,
along with the five gold pieces.

What five gold pieces?

Now I'm taking my cow.

No! I do not wish to sell.

But you took the five gold pieces.

- I didn't take, you gave.
- But you said I could have my cow!

Where are the five gold pieces?

I never said you could.
I said you might.

You would take money before a child?

No, no, no, it's not like that.
It wasn't like that.

It's not like I've done a deal with him.

- How could you do that?
- It all just happened so fast.

Milky-White!

Milky-White is dead.

What?

Two midnights gone!

As dawn broke

the Baker and his wife
had but one day left

to reverse the Witch's curse.

As for Rapunzel's Prince,

he returned yet again
to the forbidden tower.

No! Bad idea!

Are you all right?

Yep, yeah. Feel fine. Fine.

What did I clearly say?
Children must listen

No! Please!

What were you not to do?
Children must see

No!

And learn

Why could you not obey?

Children should listen

What have I been to you?

What would you have me be?

Handsome like a prince?

But I am old
I am ugly

- I embarrass you
- No!

You are ashamed of me

No!

You are ashamed

You don't understand

I'm no longer a child.
I wish to see the world.

Don't you know what's
out there in the world?

Someone has to shield you from the world

Stay with me

Princes wait there in the world,
it's true

Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too

Stay at home

I am home

Who out there

Could love you more than I?

What out there

That I cannot supply?

Stay with me

Stay with me

The world is dark and wild

Stay a child

While you can be a child

With me

I gave you protection

and yet you disobeyed me.

No.

Your prince will never
lay eyes on you again.

He will never lay eyes
on anything again.

What did you do to him?

It doesn't matter,

because where you're going

no one will ever see you again!

No! No!

No!

Hey, there. N ice cape.

Stay away from my cape,
or I'll slash you into a thousand bits!

I don't want it.

- Where did you get it?
- My granny made it for me

from a wolf that attacked us.

And she gave me
this beautiful knife for protection.

Look what I have. A golden egg.

Where did you get that egg?

I stole a hen that lays golden eggs
from the kingdom of the giant.

I don't believe you.

It's true. And you should see
the giant's toy harp.

It plays the most beautiful tunes
without you even having to touch it.

Of course it does.

Why don't you go up
to the kingdom right now,

bring it back and show it to me?

- I could.
- You could not.

I could!

You could not, Mr. Liar!

I'm not a liar.
I'll get that harp, you'll see!

Jack took the little girl's dare,

and before he knew it

found himself fleeing from a giant.

Bring back my harp!

I'll grind your bones!

Okay, we don't have much time left.
I don't know where to start.

You can start by buying a new cow
with the money you took from the boy.

Right, okay, and where do I buy a cow?

Just go to the next village.
I'm sure you'll find a cow there.

Okay, and what are you going to do?
I'm going to get the slipper.

- The yellow slipper?
- The golden slipper!

The golden slipper, that's right.
Where are you going to find it?

I've met a maiden, these two
previous nights, with golden slippers.

- Do you think you can get one?
- I'm sure of it.

Wait.

Why are we always separating?

Because we have to,
if we're going to be together.

What?

The entire kingdom shook

when the beanstalk came crashing down,

killing the giant.

As for the indecisive Cinderella,

she fled from the Prince.

Again.

After her!

He's a very smart prince

He's a prince who prepares

Knowing this time I'd run from him

He spread pitch on the stairs

And I'm caught unawares

Well, it means that he cares

This is more than just malice

Better stop and take stock

While you're standing here stuck
On the steps of the palace

All right, what do you want?

Have to make a decision

Why not stay and be caught?
Should I give that a thought?

What would be his response?

But then what if he knew who I am

When I know that I'm not
What he thinks that he wants?

Or then, what if I am

What a prince would envision?

But then how can you know
Who you are till you know

What you want, which I 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
But you know that you'll never belong?

And whichever you pick
Do it quick

'Cause you're starting to stick
To the steps of the palace

It's my first big decision

The choice isn't easy to make

To arrive at a ball
Is exciting and all

Once you're there, though, it's scary

And it's fun to deceive
When you know you can leave

But you have to be wary

There's a lot that's at stake

But I've stalled long enough

'Cause I'm still standing stuck
In the stuff on these steps

Better run along home

And avoid the collision

Though at home, they don't care
I'll be better off there

Where there's nothing to choose

So there's nothing to lose

So I'll pry up my shoes

Wait, though, thinking it through

Things don't have to collide

I know what my decision is
Which is not to decide

I'll just leave him a clue

For example

A shoe

And then see what he'll do

Now it's he and not you
Who'll be stuck with a shoe

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?

- Really?
- Yes.

You'll come with us.

Why does he always cry when I hold him?

Well, you needn't hold him
as though he was so fragile.

He doesn't want me.
He wants his mother.

I can't take care of him all the time.

I will take care of him when he's older.

Mind your head. Watch your heads.

Who might that be?

It's the Steward and the royal family.

Hello there.

What brings you into the woods?

The royal quarters have been destroyed.

No!

The kingdom is under attack.

What is the royal family going to do?

How should I know?
I don't make policy, I just carry it out.

I think it best we just go back to
the village. We'll take the girl with us.

Come with us, you're going to be fine.

You are going to come with us,
all right?

Oh, my God.

It's a giant!

It's a giant woman!

Where is the lad who killed my husband?

- There is no lad here!
- We haven't seen him!

We will get him for you right away!

Don't move!

It was you who destroyed
our house, not an earthquake!

And who destroyed my house?

I want him!

Here, would you
like a blind girl instead?

How dare you? She wants the boy!

Jack!

Has anybody seen my Jack?
He ran off again.

Have you seen Jack? What?

She is looking for him, too.

Give him to me!

Jack is just a lad!

We had no food to eat,

so he sold his cow
in exchange for some magic beans.

The boy! I want the boy!

You leave my boy alone!

I'm waiting!

Be quiet, woman,
or you'll get us all killed!

You must be quiet!

Flouncing through our kingdom
in your great big clodhoppers...

Let us not anger the giant!

...destroying everything in your path!

- Let's not anger the giant.
- You're just a big bully!

I'm gonna get my boy
and hide him so you'll never find him!

- You'll never, never, ever...
- Get back, woman!

The boy is hiding in the steeple tower!

- You can find him there!
- Yes!

- That's true!
- Yes!

Yes, we saw him there!

And if he is not, I will return tonight

and find you.

All of you!

- Are you okay?
- Look.

- What have you done to her?
- What?

I didn't mean to hurt her.

I was just thinking of the greater good.

If we're going to get through this

we're going to do it
if we all stick together.

Some people are cut out
to battle giants.

Others are not.

I don't have the constitution.

And as long as I
can be of no help, I'm going to hide.

Let's go.

Everything will work out fine
in the end.

Not always.

Come along.

I don't know
where they think they're going.

The giant's already destroyed
the entire village.

Only thing left of my garden
are these beans.

What are we going to do now?

We have no choice.

Find the boy
and give her what she wants.

But if we do, she'll kill Jack!

And if we don't,
she'll kill half the kingdom!

We mustn't let her get Jack!

We're not going to. It's okay.

- You promise?
- I promise.

Just rest.

Rapunzel?

Rapunzel!

You're safe!

Thank goodness!

Who are you?

Surely you remember.

Of course,

- you don't recognize me.
- Mother?

This is who I truly am, my dear.

Now you don't have to
be embarrassed by me.

But you must come with me.

- There is a giant in the land.
- My darling!

Are you all right?

- Why did you run off?
- I was afraid.

- Come with me.
- No, no, no!

She is not going with you.
You will come with me.

I will not come with you.

Well, then, you leave me no choice.

No!

No!

- Oh, my God.
- Wait.

You are the one who blinded me.

And locked me in a tower.

To protect you!

And banished me to an island
in the middle of a swamp!

I was just trying to be a good mother.

Rapunzel, no!

You will never be safe with him!

- Take me away from here.
- No!

Don't you understand?

I never want to see you again! Ever!

But, Rapunzel, the giant!

No matter what you say

Children won't listen

No matter what you know

Children refuse

To learn

Guide them along the way

Still they don't listen

Children can only grow

From something you love

To something you lose

Jack!

- Jack!
- Jack!

Jack!

Jack, where are you?

Jack!

We're never going to find him.

I think we should fan out.
It will increase our chances.

- I'm not leaving you on your own.
- I'll be all right.

What if we get lost?

We count our steps from right here.

I'll go, too!

No. You know what?

You are going to stay
right here with the baby.

And we'll be right back.

You would leave our child with her?

He's asleep.
He will be safe with the girl.

I'm very capable
of taking care of the baby.

See?

- What if the giant comes back?
- What if, what if!

500 paces. Go.

- One, two, three...
- Wait, wait, wait.

Here.

Let me give you this.

I don't want you to get cold.

Okay.

One, two, three, four, five...

- Jack!
- Six, seven, eight,

nine, ten...

Jack!

167, 168, 169, 170, 171,

172, 173, 174...

Hello, Your Royal Highness.

Well, hello.

Hello, again.

We've met before, actually.

Yes, of course.

Yes.

You must be here to slay the giant.

- The giant?
- Yes.

Haven't you heard?
We have a giant in our midst.

Not an earthquake.

Of course.

The giant.

It's a lady giant.

Which is very unusual.

I should think so.

And why are you alone in the woods?

Well, I came here with my husband.

And we were...

Well, you see, it's a long story.

And he would let you roam
alone in the woods?

Well, no, actually. It was my choice.

How brave.

Brave?

Yes.

Anything can happen in the woods

May I kiss you?

Any moment we could be crushed

Don't feel rushed

This is ridiculous
What am I doing here?

I'm in the wrong story

Wait, wait, wait, we can't do this!
You have a princess!

- Well, yes, I do.
- And I have a baker.

Of course.

You're right. How foolish.

Foolishness can happen in the woods

Once again, please

Let your hesitations be hushed

Any moment, big or small
Is a moment, after all

Seize the moment, skies may fall
Any moment

But this is not right!

Right and wrong don't
matter in the woods

Only feelings

Let us meet the moment unblushed

Life is often so unpleasant

You must know that, as a peasant

Best to take the moment present

As a present for the moment

476, 477,

478, 479, 480.

481, 482, 483...

Excuse me, ma'am.

You haven't seen
a boy anywhere, have you?

He's about so high.

I'm sorry, may I be of some service?

The tree has fallen.

Mother's grave, destroyed.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't complain.

I'm sure others have
suffered worse after the earthquake.

No, no, this isn't an earthquake.

There's a giant terrorizing the kingdom.

Then I'm sure the Prince will see to it
that the giant is rid from our land.

The Prince?

No doubt he's off somewhere
seducing some young maiden.

What?

You look like the Princess, but dirty.

Oh, my! You are the...

I didn't recognize you, honestly.

No, no. Please, get up.
I'm not a princess here.

I had to disguise myself.

I'm not permitted to leave
the palace unescorted.

If you'd like, you could come with me.

I mean, you'll be safe in our company.

Thank you.

It's this way. My wife is somewhere.

We decided to walk 500 paces
in one direction...

I must leave you.

Now I must go off to slay a giant.

I shall not forget you.

How brave you are
to be alone in the woods.

And how alive you've made me feel.

What was that?

Was that me? Was that him?

Did a prince really kiss me?

And kiss me? And kiss me?

And did I kiss him back?

Was it wrong? Am I mad?

Is that all? Does he miss me?

Was he suddenly
Getting bored with me?

Wake up, stop dreaming
Stop prancing about the woods

It's not beseeming
What is it about the woods?

Back to life, back to sense
Back to child, back to husband

No one lives in the woods

There are vows, there are ties

There are needs, there are standards

There are shouldn'ts and shoulds

Why not both instead?

There's the answer, if you're clever

Have a child for warmth
And a baker for bread

And a prince for whatever

Never

It's these woods

Face the facts, find the boy
Join the group, stop the giant

Just get out of these woods

Was that him? Yes, it was
Was that me? No, it wasn't

Just a trick of the woods

Just a moment

One peculiar, passing moment

Must it all be either less or more?

Either plain or grand?

Is it always "Or"? Is it never "And"?

That's what woods are for

For those moments in the woods

Oh, if life were made of moments

Even now and then a bad one

But if life were only moments

Then you'd never know you had one

First a witch, then a child
Then a prince, then a moment

Who can live in the woods?

And to get what you wish
Only just for a moment

These are dangerous woods

Let the moment go

Don't forget it for a moment, though

Just remembering you've had an "And"

When you're back to "Or"

Makes the "Or" mean more
Than it did before

Now I understand

And it's time to leave the woods

Which way was it?

172, 173, 174, 175...

172, 173, 174...

She should be back by now.

She wouldn't get lost.

I'm sure she'll return soon.

I'm going to go and look for her.
Will you?

- Look who I found.
- You're hurting me!

Let go of him!

I'll let go of him
when I give him to the giant.

Leave him alone!

Keep away from him!

Stop! Stop! I said stop!

Where did you find this?

I'm sorry, sir.

It's my wife's.

I'm sorry. I came upon her.
She was at the bottom of a cliff.

What are you saying?

How awful.

No.

No!

This is all my fault.

I shouldn't have let
her wander off alone.

I should have made her stay with me.

Remorse will get you nowhere.

- My wife is dead!
- Wake up!

When you're dead, you're dead.

It's time we get this
boy to the giant before we're all dead.

Keep away from him!

This is no time to be soft-hearted!

He's going to the giant
and I'm taking him!

Yes! Yes, he's the one to blame!

It's because of you there's a giant
in our midst, and my wife is dead!

But it isn't my fault
I was given those beans

You persuaded me to trade away
My cow for beans

And without those beans
There'd have been no stalk

To get up to the giants
In the first place

Wait a minute

Magic beans
For a cow so old

That you had to tell a lie to sell it
Which you told

Were they worthless beans?
Were they oversold?

Oh, and tell us who persuaded you
To steal that gold

- See, it's your fault
- No!

- Yes, it's your fault
- No!

- Yes, it is
- It's not!

- It's true
- Wait a minute though

I only stole the gold to get my cow back
From you

- So it's your fault
- Yes!

No, it isn't

I'd have kept those beans
But our house was cursed

She made us get a cow
To get the curse reversed

It's his father's fault
That the curse got placed

And the place got cursed
In the first place

- Oh, then it's his fault
- So

- It was his fault
- No!

Yes, it is, it's his

- I guess
- Wait a minute though

I chopped down the beanstalk
Right, that's clear

But without any beanstalk
Then what's queer

Is how did the second giant
Get down here

In the first place
Second place?

- Yes.
- How?

Well, who had the other bean?

- The other bean?
- The other bean?

- You pocketed the other bean
- I didn't. Yes, I did

So it's your fault

No, it isn't
'Cause I gave it to my wife

- So it's her fault
- No, it isn't

- Then whose is it?
- Wait a minute

She exchanged that bean
To obtain your shoe

So the one who knows what happened
To the bean is you

You mean that old bean
That your wife... Oh, dear

But I never knew and so I threw...
Well, don't look here

- So it's your fault
- But...

- See, it's her fault
- But...

And it isn't mine at all

But what?

Well, if you hadn't gone
Back up again

We were needy

You were greedy
Did you need that hen?

But I got it for my mother

So it's her fault then

Yes, and what about the harp
In the third place?

The harp, yes

- She went and dared me to
- I dared you to?

- She said that I was scared
- Me?

- So she dared me
- No, I didn't

So it's your fault

- Wait a minute
- If you hadn't dared him to

And you had left the harp alone

If you hadn't thrown away the bean
In the first place

If she hadn't raised them
in the first place

- You raised the beans in the first place
- It's your fault

You're responsible
You're the one to blame

It's your fault

It's the last midnight

It's the last wish

It's the last midnight

Soon it will be boom
Squish

Told a little lie

Stole a little gold

Broke a little vow

Did you?

Had to get your prince

Had to get your cow

Had to get your wish
Doesn't matter how

Anyway, it doesn't matter now

It's the last midnight

It's the boom
Splat

Nothing but a vast midnight

Everybody smashed flat

Nothing we can do

Not exactly true

We could always give her the boy

No, of course

What really matters is the blame
Someone you can blame

Fine, if that's the thing you enjoy
Placing the blame

If that's the aim
Give me the blame

Just give me the boy

- No!
- No!

No.

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

I'm the hitch
I'm what no one believes

I'm the Witch

You're all liars and thieves
Like his father

Like his son will be, too

Oh, why bother?

You'll just do what you do

It's the last midnight
So goodbye, all

Coming at you fast
Midnight

Soon you'll see the sky fall

Here, you want a bean?

Have another bean

Beans were made for making you rich

Plant them and they soar
Here, you want some more?

Listen to the roar
Giants by the score

Oh well, you can blame another witch

It's the last midnight

It's the last verse

Now, before it's past midnight

I'm leaving you my last curse

I'm leaving you alone

You can tend the garden, it's yours
Separate and alone

Everybody down on all fours

All right, Mother, when?

Lost the beans again
Punish me the way you did then

Give me claws and a hunch

Just away from this bunch
And the gloom

And the doom
And the boom

Crunch!

Maybe I shouldn't have
stolen from the giant.

Maybe I shouldn't have
strayed from the path.

Maybe I shouldn't have
attended the Ball.

Yeah, maybe you shouldn't have.

- Where are you going?
- Away from here.

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,

son.

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

Wishes come true

Not free

Careful the spell you cast

Not just on children

Sometimes the spell may last

Past what you can see

And turn against you

Careful the tale you tell

That is the spell

Children will listen

I wish...
