The Story of the Man in the Yellow Suit
[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[spoken]
Hold it right there, seventeen!

[JESSE]
[spoken]
You

[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[spoken]
Me!
Where's your little friend? Oh, who am I fooling?
This wood is now mine

[JESSE]
[spoken]
What?

[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[spoken]
Why don't you show me what you've been hiding?

[JESSE]
[spoken]
I have no idea what you're talking about
[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[spoken]
That simply is not true
[sung]
Once upon a time, once upon a time
Started just like that!
My granny told me a story
How that woman loved to gab!

[JESSE]
[spoken]
What does this have to do with me?

[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[spoken]
Only everything
[sung]
Said there was a man
With a wife and sons
And the story goes
Their beauty froze
Sound like anyone familiar?
Or should I take a stab?

[JESSE]
[spoken]
You don't know a thing about me
[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[spoken]
I know you know where the spring is so why don't you show it to me?

[JESSE]
[spoken]
Miles! It's him! This is the man!

[MILES]
[spoken]
Hold it right there!

[MAE]
[spoken]
Miles, no!

[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[spoken]
Oh my god. It's all of ya! The tale's come to life, just like my granny said!

[JESSE]
[spoken]
Ma, he knows the secret!

[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[spoken]
And I've been guarding it with my life!
[sung]
My lips are sealed
Granny didn't raise a snitch!
I can make you filthy rich!
We'll bottle the water and sell it for a fee
Split the profit equally
[ANGUS]
[spoken]
You're mad! We would never!

[MAE]
[spoken]
We just want to live our lives in peace!

[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[spoken]
What is wrong with you people?!
[sung]
You could be sultans!
You could have kingdoms!
Did you not think of this before?
If you could put a price on eternal life
They'd pay anything and more!
[spoken]
Just lead me to the water!

[JESSE]
[spoken]
Here! Take this vial! Just let her go!

[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[spoken]
Oh my god. There it is
[sung]
Today is the day...

[JESSE]
[spoken]
You take this...

[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[sung]
The waiting is over...

[JESSE]
[spoken]
And, I'll show you the spring...

[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[sung]
The answer's so simple
So perfectly pure...

[JESSE]
[spoken]
Please, let her go

[MAN IN THE YELLOW SUIT]
[sung]
The secret to eternal life
And now, I'll never-

[MAE]
[spoken]
No!
