Scenes with The Woodsman 4
[sees Woodsman off] Shoot. Y-you think we should've asked him for help? [Greg shrugs]
BBird
Maybe I can help you. I mean, you guys are lost, right? [Wirt gasps, slaps his face]
What in the world is going on?
GGregory
Well, you're slapping yourself, and I'm answering your question, and—
No, Greg, a-a bird's brain isn't big enough for cognizant speech.
BBird
Hey, what was that?
I mean, I-I'm just saying, you're-you're weird. Like, not normal. I-I mean... oh my gosh, stop talking to it, Wirt.
Woodsman
[appears suddenly] What're you doing here?! Explain yourselves!
BBird
[flies off] Aaand I'll see you guys later, bye.
Calm, calm down, mister! Wh-whatever you do here is your business! W-w-we just wanna get home with all our legs and arms attached!
Woodsman
These woods are no place for children! Don't you know the Beast is afoot here?!
The Beast? W-w-we-we-we don't know anything about that! W-we're just two lost kids trying to get home!
Woodsman
Well, welcome to the Unknown, boys. You're more lost than you realize.
Woodsman
The mill is destroyed... the oil! All gone!
But look! We, w-we got the beast problem solved. [points at the dog]
Woodsman
That dog?! That is NOT the Beast! The Beast cannot be mollified like some farmer's pet! He stalks like the night. He sings like the Four Winds. He is the Death of Hope! He steals their children and he'll... ruin... [mumbles]
You're always messing up, Greg.
Woodsman
Boy! You have it backwards! You are the elder child! You are responsible for you and your brother's actions!
[after leaving Lorna and Auntie Whispers into the dark woods]
GGregory
Wow, Wirt! You saved the day twice today!
Yeah, I guess. But so what? We're still not any closer to getting home. I just don't know what I'm doing out here anymore. I don't know if we'll ever get back home.
GGregory
Sure we will! What can stop us? You got a plan, remember?
GGregory
Aw, come on! Let's go, captain! Lead the way! You can do it! [Wirt sighs; the Beast watches them]
Yes, yes. All hope will soon be lost. [turns to the Woodsman] We're lucky the boy had the pluck to best you. Your play could have cost us both. [hovers over the Woodsman] Don't you care about keeping the lantern lit? Don't you care about your daughter's soul?
Woodsman
One cannot trade the souls of children as if they were tokens! There has to be another way.
No. There is only me. There is only my way. There is only the forest, and there is only surrender.
I--I got to go home, too, admit to my family it's my fault they're bluebirds.
The scissors that'll make your family human again.
I-I used them to escape Adelaide, and then--then... yeah, I-I was sort of mad at you.
[tearfully] Oh, you... wonderful mistake of nature!
You see, Woodsman? All who perish here will become trees for the lantern. Cut them down with your ax. Go! Now!
Woodsman
NO!! [He swings the lantern showing the beast in full color for a fraction of a second. The Woodsman opens the latern]
STOP! You'll never see your daughter again Woodsman! Are you really ready to go back to that empty house? [The Woodsman sheds a tear as he realizes this might be true, then angrily raises the lantern and inhales] NO! WOODSMAN!!! [The Woodsman blows out the lantern, killing the beast]
