Into the Woods (1991)

Philip Hoffman: Steward

Quotes 

• Steward : Who are you, old man?

  Mysterious Man : [with a suppressed sigh]  When first I appear, I seem deleterious, but when explained -

  Steward : Shut up!

• Steward : We must be gone if we're to arrive before nightfall.

  The Baker : Where are you going?

  Lucinda : We're off to a hidden kingdom.

  Cinderella's Stepmother : Shhh. We can't take everyone.

  Witch : Fools! There is nowhere to hide!

  The Baker : You'll never get there. We have to stay and find our way out of this together.

  Cinderella's Stepmother : Some people are cut out to battle Giants, and others are not. I don't have the constitution. And as long as I can be of no help, I'm going to hide. Everything will work out fine in the end.

  [Cinderella's father, stepmother, stepsisters and the steward exit] 

  Little Red Riding Hood : I hope the giant steps on them all.

  The Bakers Wife : You shouldn't say that!

  Witch : You were thinking the same thing.
