- Your Fault [ Contents
]
-
- Baker: It's because of you there's a giant in our midst,
- and my wife is dead!
- Jack: But it isn't my fault,
- I was given those beans!
- You persuaded me to trade away my cow for beans!
- And without those beans, there'd have been no stalk
- To get up to the giant in the first place!
- Baker: Wait a minute, magic beans for a cow so old
- That you had to tell a lie to sell it, which you told!
- Were they worthless beans? Were they oversold?
- Oh, and tell us who persuaded you to steal that gold!
- LRRH [to Jack]: See, it's your fault.
- Jack: No!
- Baker: So it's your fault..
- Jack: No!
- LRRH: Yes, it is!
- Jack: It's not!
- Baker: It's true.
- Jack: Wait a minute, though--
- I only stole the gold to get my cow back
- From you!
- LRRH [to Baker]: So it's your fault!
- Jack: Yes!
- Baker: No, it isn't!
- I'd have kept those beans, but our house was cursed.
- She made us get a cow to get the curse reversed!
- Witch: It's his father's fault that the curse got placed,
- And the place got cursed in the first place!
- LRRH: Oh. Then it's his fault!
- Witch: So.
- Cinderella: It was his fault..
- Jack: No.
- Baker: Yes, it is, it's his.
- Cinderella: I guess..
- Jack: Wait a minute, though--
- I chopped down the beanstalk, right? That's clear.
- But without any beanstalk, then what's queer
- Is how did the second giant get down here
- In the first place?
- ..second place..
- Cinderella: Yes!
- LRRH: How?
- Baker: Hmm..
- Jack: Well, who had the other bean?
- Baker: The other bean?
- Cinderella: The other bean?
- Jack [to Baker]: You pocketed the other bean.
- Baker: I didn't!
- Yes, I did.
- LRRH: So it's your f--!
- Baker: No, it isn't, 'cause I gave it to my wife!
- LRRH: So it's her f--!
- Baker: NO, IT ISN'T!
- Cinderella: Then whose is it?
- Baker: Wait a minute! [to Cinderella]
- She exchanged that bean to obtain your shoe,
- So the one who knows what happened to the bean is you!
- Cinderella: You mean that old bean-- that your wife--? Oh, dear--
- [as they all look at her]
- But I never knew, and so I threw--
- Well, don't look here!
- LRRH: So it's your fault!
- Cinderella: But--
- Jack: See, it's her fault--
- Cinderella: But--
- Jack: And it isn't mine at all!
- Baker [to Cinderella]: But what?
- Cinderella [to Jack]: Well, if you hadn't gone
back up again--
- Jack: We were needy--
- Cinderella: You were greedy! Did you need that hen?
- Jack: But I got it for my mother--!
- LRRH: So it's her fault then!
- Cinderella: Yes, and what about the harp in the third place?
- Baker: The harp--yes!
- Jack [referring to LRRH]: She went and dared me
to!
- LRRH: I dared you to?
- Jack: You dared me to!
- [to the others] She said that I was scared--
- LRRH: ME?
- Jack: --to. She dared me!
- LRRH: No, I didn't!
- Baker, Cinderella, Jack: So it's your fault!
- LRRH: Wait a minute--!
- Cinderella: If you hadn't dared him to--
- Baker [to Jack]: And you had left the harp alone,
- We wouldn't be in trouble in the first place!
- LRRH [Over, to Cinderella]: Well, if you hadn't
thrown away the bean
- In the first place--!
- It was your fault!
- Cinderella [referring to Witch]:
- Well, if she hadn't raised them in the first place--!
- Jack [Over, to Witch]: Yes, if you hadn't raised
them in the first place--!
- LRRH, Baker [to Witch]:
- Right! It's you who raised them in the first place--!
- Cinderella [simultaneously]: You raised the beans
in the first place!
- Jack: It's YOUR fault!
- Cinderella, Jack, LRRH, Baker: You're responsible!
- You're the one to blame!
- It's your fault!
- Witch: Shhhhhhhhhhh!
