Into the Woods

Into the Woods (by Sondheim/Lapine)

• "You may know what you need, but to get what you want, better see that you keep what you have."

• "One midnight gone!"

• "The slotted spoon won't hold much soup."

• "The slotted spoon CAN catch the potato!"

• "A servant is not just a dog to a prince."

• "Opportunity is not a lengthy visitor."

• "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! 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 fear you're touched!"

• "It's his father's fault that the curse got placed and the place got cursed in the first place."

• "Though scary is exciting, nice is different than good."

• Witch: What's wrong?
  
• Rapunzel: Oh...nothing. You only blinded my prince and then abandoned me
  * alone in the desert where I bore twins and raised them alone. Because of you
  
• I can never be truly happy!
  
• Witch: I was only trying to be a good mother.

• "I'll never forget this moment, or how alive you made me feel."

• "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!"

• Narrator: Without me you won't have anyone to tell the story!
• Witch: Some of us don't like the way you've been telling it.

• "I was watching him crawl back over the wall when 'BANG! CRASH! THE LIGHTNING FLASHED!'...and well that's another story, nevermind."

• His father died in a baking accident.

• When first I appear I seem mysterious, but when explained I'm nothing serious.

• When first I appear I seem deliterious, but when explained I'm nothing serious.

• The cow as white as milk, the cape as red as blood, the hair as yellow as corn, the slipper as pure as gold.

• Baker's Wife: What I wouldn't do to be in your shoes.
  
• Cinderella: Ah, yes.
  
• Baker's Wife: I mean...slippers! As pure as gold! Oh, what I wouldn't give
  
• for just one!
  
• Cinderella: Well, one isn't likely to do you any good!
  

"I need your shoe to have a child!"

"You can talk to birds?"

"Careful the things you say...children will listen."

Cinderella: He's a very nice prince. He's a prince who prepares! Knowing this time I'd run from him, spread pitch on the stairs. I was caught unawares, and I thought, "Well...he cares!" This is more than just malace. Better stop and take stock while you're standing here stuck to the steps of the palace.
