[Narrator]
And the Baker gave Jack five beans in exchange for his cow
Keeping one for himself
[Jack]
(to Milky-White)
I guess this is goodbye, old pal
You've been a perfect friend
I hate to have to part, old pal
Some day I'll buy you back
I'll see you soon again
I hope that when I do
It won't be on a plate
[Baker]
Magic beans!
[Baker's Wife]
No one would have given him more
For this creature
[Baker]
Are we to dispel this curse through deceit?
[Baker's Wife]
If you know
What you want
Then you go
And you find it
And you get it-
[Baker]
(pointing off)
Home
[Baker's Wife]
Do we want a child or not?
And you give
And you take
And you bid
And you bargain
Or youl I've
To regret it
[Baker]
Will you please go home?
[Baker's Wife]
There are rights and wrongs
And in-betweens-
No one waits
When fortune intervenes
And maybe they're really magic
Who knows?
Why you do
What you do
That's the point
All the rest of it
Is chatter
[Baker]
(gesturing toward Milky-White)
Look at her, She's crying
[Baker's Wife]
If the thing you do
Is pure in intent
If it's meant
And it's just a little bent
Does it matter?
[Baker]
Yes
[Baker's Wife]
No, what matters is that
Everyone tells tiny lies
What's important, really, is the size
Only three more tries
And we'll have our prize
When the end's in sight
You'll realize
If the end is right
It justifies
The beans!
