Into the Woods Page #3
JACK:
Mother, no-- he’s the best cow in the
world--
JACK’S MOTHER
Was. She’s been dry for weeks. We’ve
no food or money and no choice but to
sell her.
JACK:
But Milky-White is my best friend!
JACK’S MOTHER
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!
JACK:
But-
JACK’S MOTHER
WE’VE NO TIME TO SIT AND DITHER/ WHILE
HER WITHERS WITHER WITH HER--/ AND NO
Sometimes I wonder what’s in that head
of yours.
INT. BAKER’S COTTAGE - DAY
LRRH gives the BAKER a coin as his WIFE looks on adoringly.
She loves having the little girl here. The Baker, not so
much.
LRRH:
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
INTO THE WOODS AND THROUGH THE TREES/
TO WHERE I AM EXPECTED, MA’AM,/ INTO
THE WOODS TO GRANDMOTHER’S HOUSE...
She shoves the entire bun into her mouth.
LRRH (CONT’D)
(with her mouth full)
INTO THE WOODS TO GRANDMOTHER’S
HOUSE...
WIFE:
You’re certain of your way?
As LRRH sings, she begins to help herself to all the buns she
can lay her hands on.
LRRH:
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./
(to the Wife)
I SORT OF HATE TO ASK IT,/ BUT DO YOU
HAVE A BASKET?
The WIFE reaches for a basket, while the BAKER tries to wrest
away a bun or two from the girl.
BAKER:
I don’t suppose you’re planning on
buying any of these?
The WIFE gives the BAKER a look, then hands LRRH a basket.
WIFE:
Now, don’t stray and be late!
BAKER:
And you might save some of those
sweets for Granny.
EXT. THE VILLAGE - DAY - MOMENTS LATER
The BAKER, and his WIFE are in front of their shop, watching
LRRH:
(to herself))
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.
Her path takes her through an ancient GRAVEYARD and on
towards the forest’s edge.
LRRH (CONT’D)
BUT INTO THE WOODS,/ INTO THE WOODS,/
INTO THE WOODS/ TO GRANDMOTHER’S
INT. CINDERELLA’S HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY
The BIRDS are dropping the last of the lentils into the pot.
LUCINDA (O.S.)
Cinderella!
FLORINDA (O.S.)
Get up here!
CINDERELLA:
The BIRDS begin to make their way out through the fireplace
and windows as CINDERELLA sings her incantation.
LUCINDA (O.S.)
