from "No More," from the musical "Into the Woods" by Stephen Sondheim
BAKER
No more questions,
Please.
No more tests.
Comes the day you say, "What for?"
Please- no more.
MYSTERIOUS MAN
They disappoint,
They disappear,
They die but they don't...
BAKER
What?
MYSTERIOUS MAN
They disappoint
In turn, I fear.
Forgive, though, they won't...
BAKER
No more riddles.
No more jests.
No more curses you can't undo,
Left by fathers you never knew.
No more quests.
No more feelings.
Time to shut the door.
Just- no more.
