“Into the Woods” Movie Quotes intertwine a number of classic Grimm Brothers fairy tales into one story about a baker and his wife who are seeking a child. The musical fantasy film was directed by Rob Marshall using a screenplay James Lapine adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name. Disney’s “Into the Woods” opened in theaters on December 25, 2014.
In “Into the Woods,” the story of The Baker (James Corden) and his wife (Emily Blunt) and their desire for a child is told. The Baker and his wife have been cursed by an evil witch (Meryl Streep) that is preventing them from having a child. The Witch offers to reverse the curse, but only if The Baker and his wife venture into the woods to collect a list of rare items. They take on the task.
In the woods, the couple encounters a number of characters, each of whom possesses an item they need to reverse the curse. They meet Jack (Daniel Huttlestone) and trade him beans—for his beanstalk—in exchange for his cow. Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), who is being hunted by The Wolf (Johnny Depp) has the red cape they need while Rapunzel (Mackenzie Mauzy) possesses the hair of gold. Cinderella (Anna Kendrick) and her Prince (Chris Pine) are there too with Cinderella holding the magic slipper the couple needs. But through their adventures, the Baker and his wife discover more than these characters, but also a deeper understanding of responsibility and what happens when you wish for something.
“Into the Woods” joins a number of other great movies in theaters for Christmas 2014 including ”The Interview,” ”Unbroken,” ”American Sniper,” ”The Gambler,” ”The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies,” ”Annie,” ”Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb,” ”Mr. Turner,” "Life Partners," "Comet," "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1," and "Horrible Bosses 2.

Go To The Wood!
The Baker and Baker’s Wife: [together] “I wish…”
The Witch: “You wish to have the curse reversed? I’ll need a certain potion first. Go to the wood and bring me back, one, a 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!”
The Baker and his wife desperately wish for a child but a wicked curse put upon them prevents that. The Witch has a way to reverse the curse, but what she needs to do that is not easily acquired.
I Wish
Cinderella: “I wish…”
Little Red Riding Hood: “I wish…”
Jack: “I wish…”
Each of the characters, all from various Grimm Brothers fairy tales, all wish for something or another. As their stories intertwine, viewers get to watch as each hope for their wishes to be granted.
We're Going to Do It Together
Baker's Wife: “We have one chance. Don't you see that?”
The Baker: “If we're going to get through this, we’re going to do it together.”
The Baker and his wife know that their tasks ahead are not going to be easy and they only have one chance to succeed. To accomplish this, as The Baker points out, they’ll need to work together.
Charming, Not Sincere
Cinderella: “If you love me, why did you stray?”
Cinderella's Prince: “I was raised to be charming, not sincere.”
Cinderella is crushed when her Prince strays. In his defense, he was never quite raised to be faithful, only charming.
Stuck on the Stairs of the Palace
Cinderella: [singing] “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 stairs of the palace.”
Cinderella breaks into song and narrates her trip down the stairs of the palace when running from the Prince. She, however, does not get too far as the Prince was expecting her escape.
Not Quite All What I Expected
Baker’s Wife: “Princes and castles, why would you run away?”
Cinderella: “It’s not quite all what I expected.”
The Baker’s Wife questions Cinderella on why she would leave what sounds like a luxurious life. Cinderella doesn’t see things as that bright, expecting something entirely different.
Stay With Me
The Witch: [singing] “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 have there that I cannot supply? Stay with me.”
The Witch sings to Rapunzel, who is wishing to leave her for the world outside. The Witch cannot understand what Rapunzel could want that she cannot provide, besides freedom, of course.
I Don't Like That Woman
Baker’s Wife: “You’ve got the cape!”
The Baker: “What have you done with the cow?”
Baker’s Wife: “She ran away!”
The Baker: “What?”
Baker’s Wife: “Never even reached home, I’ve been looking for her all night.”
The Baker: “How could you?”
Baker’s Wife: “Well she might just as easily have run away from you.”
The Baker: “Yeah, but she didn’t.”
Baker’s Wife: “But she might have”
The Baker: “But she didn’t”
Baker’s Wife: “But she might have”
The Baker: “But she didn’t”
The Witch: “Cow’s gone. Get it back.”
The Baker: “We were just about to do that, but here. In the meantime…”
The Witch: “Get away from me with that! I can’t touch it! Remember? By midnight tomorrow, bring me the items or that child you wish for will never see the light of day.”
The Baker: “I don’t like that woman.”
The Baker is distraught to learn that the cow they collected has run away. While he and his wife point fingers about the problem, The Witch arrives to kick them back into gear.
These Are No Ordinary Beans
Baker’s Wife: “Beans? Oh no, we mustn't give up out beans! Well, if you feel that we must.”
Jack: “Beans in exchange for my cow?”
Baker’s Wife: “Oh, no, son, these are no ordinary beans. These beans, they carry magic.”
Jack: “Magic, what kind of magic?”
Baker’s Wife: “Tell him.”
The Baker: “It’s uh, it’s a magic that defies description.”
Jack: “How many beans?”
The Baker: “Six”
Baker’s Wife: “Five”
The Baker: “Five”
Baker’s Wife: “They are worth a pound each at least”
…
The Baker: “Yeah, this seems like we’ve made a fair trade. Here you go. One, two, three, four, five. All right, well, good luck and pleasure doing business with you.”
In an effort to receive the cow as white as milk, The Baker and his wife trade beans with Jack. They claim that these beans are magic, but really, that might not be entirely accurate. Either way, Jack takes the bait.
All Will Come to a Happy End
Baker’s Wife: “All will come to a happy end.”
The Witch: “Not always”
The Baker’s Wife is optimistic that if she and The Baker complete their tasks and gather the items, that all will end well. The Witch, however, has other plans.
