Me?

YOUR FAULT: Baker: And you had left the harp a-
(to Cinderella) Well, if you hadn't thrown away the bean in the first place-
YOUR FAULT: Jack: .. if you hadn't raised them -
(to Witch) Right! It's you who raised the beans in the first place!
INTO THE WOODS PROLOGUE: Jack's Mother: It's a she! How many times must I tell you? Only "she"s can give milk.
*knock knock*

How?

And a few of those pies, please.

INTO THE WOODS PROLOGUE: Baker: Don't stray and be late. And save some of those sweets for granny!
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.

But into the woods, into the woods, into the woods to Grandmother's house, and home before dark!

ACT II FINALE, PART III: Baker: I think I see a glimmer...
Into the woods, you have to grope, but that's the way you learn to cope. Into the woods to find there's hope of getting through the journey. Into the woods, each time you go there's more to learn of what you know. Into the woods but not too slow, into the woods, it's nearing midnight.

It's amazing
HELLO, LITTLE GIRL: Wolf: There's no possible way to describe what you feel, when you're talking to your meal!
Mother said not to stray, still I suppose a small delay.... Granny might like a fresh bouquet... Goodbye, Mister Wolf.
HELLO, LITTLE GIRL: Wolf: Grandmother first, then Miss Plump... What a delectable couple. Utter perfection: one brittle, one supple... One mo -
Mother said, "come what may, follow the path and never stray."
I KNOW THINGS NOW Baker: I'm a baker!
Mother said, "straight ahead" not to delay or be mislead. I should have heeded her advice.... But he seemed so nice! And he showed me things, many beautiful things, that I hadn't thought to explore. They were off my path, so I never had dared, I had been so careful I never had cared. And he made me feel excited, well excited and scared. When he said "Come in" with that sickening grin who could I know what was in store? Once his teeth were bared though I really got scared well excited and scared. But he drew me close and he swallowed me down down a dark slimy path where lie secrets that I never want to know and when everything familiar seemed to disappear forever at the end of the path was granny once again! SO we wait in the dark until someone sets us free, and we're brought into the light and we're back at the start and I know things now many valuable things that I hadn't known before! Do not put your faith in a cape and a hood, they will not protect you the way that they should. And take extra care with strangers even flowers have their dangers and though scary is exciting, nice is different than good. Now I know, don't be scared, granny is right just be prepared! Isn't it nice to know a lot? And a little bit not.
