Scene Four: The Spring Flashcards
ENSEMBLE: DAY NA DAY NA NA
Toad. Where are you?
JESSE: Excuse me, are you lost?
That’s exactly what I was going to ask.
JESSE: You shouldn’t be here right now.
But these are my woods!
JESSE: Believe me. I am.
Oh, really. How old are you?
JESSE: I don’t care whose woods these are, it’s not safe for you to be here.
You’re not old enough to boss me.
JESSE: Let’s just say I’m… seventeen.
Oh. That is old.
JESSE: You have no idea. Uh, where do you think you’re going?
I’m thirsty. I’m getting a drink from that spring, like you did.
JESSE: Oh no, you saw me drink? Look, you need to leave right now.
But it’s just water!
JESSE: No, no, listen: When little girls drink from this spring, they turn into…
Toads?
Nice try. I happen to know that toad. In fact, he’s my toad.
JESSE: Huh. Well now that you say it, I do see the resemblance.
You’re very odd.
JESSE: I’m Jesse Tuck, how do.
Winnie Foster. I just ran away from home!
JESSE: And how’s that going?
So far it’s just a bunch of trees.
JESSE: Just a bunch of trees! You own these woods, Winnie Foster, and you don’t even know what you’ve got! Come with me!
Where are we going?
JESSE: Up.
Up, right now?
JESSE: There’s no use running away if you don’t make it an adventure!
Good point.
