What are we doing?
I don't know! Why are we yelling?
I don't know.
It's not normally like this.
I know. Something's different. It's not normally this... quiet.
Is something supposed to happen?
Something's always supposed to happen.
What? -I don't know!
I don't like this. -I don't like this either.
It's this not knowing... -We used to know and now we don't.
Something's different. Something's changed!
What are you doing?
I want to sing but these notes are deranged...
We don't have a structure or tune...
I hope we get some accompaniment soon...
Oh ***...
Why is it so quiet?
There's normally a voice A voice which tells us what to do...
There's normally no choice We just to what we're told to.
Where has that guy gone? This must be a mistake.
Are we supposed to go on? Maybe he's on a break.
Hang on, without him here we can do what we want!
I don't understand why you're being so nonchalant...
We don't have to rhyme anymore We can make up the tune as we go along
While we may not know what's in store At least we have control over our song!
That was pretty good
Good? That was great! We're amazing!
Well as long as we are in control I have something to say...
***.
Well, as long as we're saying the things that we've longed to say
I'd like to know why we have no food but you can afford pre-paid?
Woodcutter union rules. Safety first.
Haven't you ever seen a horror movie?
Living along in the woods was a bad idea.
So it would appear.
I don't want to be cutting wood all day I wanted to be an astronaut!
I never wanted to abandon our kids in the woods It left me feeling guilty and distraught
Not me. - What?
I know they're supposed to be my kids And I know you're supposed to be my wife
But I swear I don't remember anything before this story began
But we must have been in love 'cause I still want you in my life
Deep down inside I know that you are my man
Not me. - What?
What ever feelings you have for me and the kids, I don't share
I never wanted this life at all
I wanted to be an astornau....
....t and they're back.
Oh my darlings!
So you're happy to see us this time?
Of course I am!
Stepmother, they've done something terrible!
Nice one Gretel.
We killed the Narrator!
What?
Who are you?
I'm the witch. And I guess you can call me...
Witch.
And you?
Woodcutter.
Sucks doesn't it.
Well now that the narrator's gone we can call ourselves whatever we like.
Gone? He's dead because you killed him!
Is that why we had such a hard time figuring out what to do next?
You didn't think to come look for us?
Oh my babies, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry Hansel.
You tried to get rid of us!
No I never wanted that, I never wanted that at all...
You should have fought for us, you should have been stronger!
Look, what's done is done but it's all ok now right?
He's dead!
Well apart from that... everything worked out fine!
See I'm a lovely person. Love me.
Oh father, do something please!
I'm sorry for you, really I am. And I know you had a thing for that narrator...
but I really don't care.
Hah! I knew it!
Hansel please... Can you ever say that I've ever been a good father? Or a bad father?
Or any kind of father at all? What do you know about me?
You're a woodcutter...
And do you honestly care what this woodcutter thinks about your life?
No. I don't care either.
You can't be mad at us. None of us are happy. We've all been forced into roles we don't want!
I mean, woodcutter? Jesus...
I loved it! Every second of it!
You're the exception dear.
Hang on you! I never wanted to leave these kids in the forest.
Come here.
I was happy here living as a family. We were poor, but we were still a family.
It was all a lie, Not just the story but us as well.
That can't be right...
Well then we all have a choice to make then.
For the first time we aren't being told what to do, So we have to decide for ourselves.
I have no idea what I want.
We need the narrator back to tell us what to do!
I know I never ever want that again.
I don't want to be a woodcutter anymore! I can't stand to be another minute in this place.
Where will we go?
I'm going somewhere where I can think things though. Without you.
What?
You can stay with me! -Awesome thanks!
I knew being good would pay off.
I still have no clue what I want. But I'm not going to stay here any longer if I don't have to.
But this is your home!
This is not my home, this is just a place I lived. Being poor.
I know I don't want to be poor any longer... I'm going to college.
Good for you. Get a real job, don't end up like me.
Fine, go! I don't want one of you 'round here killing anyone else I know!
Just leave us here with nothing!
You're just going to have to grow up Gretel.
Grow up? You're the ones that need to grow up!
You can't just abandon your problems.
You are still responsible for your actions and you are still responsible for this family.
I love you.
I'm sorry, I don't know who you are.
Forget this life
Try to see this as an opportunity, you can start a whole new life for yourselves.
I don't want a new one, I want the old one back!
I'll write.
