Witch
     (looks off to where Rapunzel was killed)
This is the world I ment.
Couldn't you listen?
Couldn't you stay content
Safe behind walls,
As I
Could not?

Now you know what's out there
In the world.
No one stays untainted
By the world,
Only I,
Only I, who loved you
As you were.
Only I, who's frightened
Less of her
Than them -

     (looks at Baker's Wife, Little Red Ridinghood, Stepmother and Stepsisters, then audience)

No matter what you say,
Children won't listen.
No matter what you do,
Children refuse
To learn.
Guide them along the way,
Still they won't listen.
Children can only grown
From something you love
To something you lose....
