"Mr. Todd, there's a girl who needs my help." "Such a sad girl and lonely, but beautiful too." " Slow down, son." " Yes." "I'm sorry." "This girl's guardian keeps her locked away but then this morning she dropped this." "Surely a sign that Johanna wants me to help her." "That's her name, Johanna." "And Turpin is her guardian." "He's a judge of some sort." "Once he goes to court, I'll slip into the house release her and beg her to come away with me." " Oh, this is very romantic." " Yes." "But I don't know anyone in London, you see." "And I need somewhere safe to bring her till I've hired a coach to take us away." "If I could keep her here just for an hour or two, I'd be forever in your debt." "Bring her here, love." "Thank you, ma'am." "Mr. Todd?" "Oh, thank you." "Thank you, thank you, my friend." "Thank you, ma'am." "Seems like the Fates are favoring you at last, Mr. T." "What is it?" "You'll have her back before the day's out." " What about him?" " Him?" "Oh, well." "Let him bring her here." "And then, since you're so hot for a little:" "That's the throat to slit, my dear." "Poor little Johanna." "All those years without a scrap of motherly affection." "Well, I'll soon see to that." "Hello." "What's he doing here?" "Keep the boy downstairs." "Signora, is Mr. Todd at home?" "Plying his trade upstairs." "Would you look at it, now?" "You wouldn't mind if I gave it a nice, juicy meat pie, would you?" "Whatever you want." "Come on, lad." "Your teeth are strong, I hope." "Close the door." "Get you a nice, lovely pie." "Sit down." "Make yourself comfy." "Come in." "Mr. Todd." "Signor Pirelli." "Call me Davey." "Davey Collins is the name when it's not professional." "I'd like me 5 quid back, if you don't mind." "Why?" "Because you entered into our little wager under false pretenses, my friend." "So that you might remember to be a bit more forthright in the future I'll be taking half your profits from herewith." "Share and share alike." "Mr. Benjamin Barker." "There we are." "Tuck in." "I like to see a man with a healthy appetite." "Reminds me of my dear Albert." "Liked to gorge himself to bloatation, he did." "He didn't have your nice head of hair, though." "To tell the truth, it gets awful hot." "Yes, this'll do nicely." "You don't remember me, do you?" "Why should you?" "I was just a little nipper you hired for a couple of weeks, sweeping up hair." "But I remember these." "And how could I ever forget you, Mr. Barker?" "I used to sit right here and dream of the day when I could be a proper barber myself." "You might say that you was inspiration to me." "So has we got a deal?" "Or should I run down the street to me old pal, Beadle Bamford?" "What do you say to that now, Mr. Sweeney Todd?" "My, my, my." "Always work to be done." "Spic and span, that's my motto." "So how'd you end up with that dreadful Italian?" "Got me from the workhouse." "Been there since I was born." "Oh, God." "He's got an appointment with his tailor." "If he's late, he'll blame me." "Wait!" "Signor, you've got an appointment." "Signor Pirelli's been called away." "Better run after him." "No, sir." "I should stay here, or it'll be a lashing." "He's a great one for the lashings." "So Mrs. Lovett give you a pie, did she?" "She's a real lady." "That she is." "But if I know a growing boy, there's still room for more pie, eh?" "Yes, sir." "Then why don't you wait for your master downstairs?" "Be another pie in it for you, I'm sure." "No." "I should stay here." "Tell you what." "Why don't you tell Mrs. Lovett that I said to give you a nice, big tot of gin?" "Thank you, sir!" "This is the second time, sir you have been brought before this bench." "Though it is my earnest wish ever to temper justice with mercy your persistent dedication to a life of crime is an abomination before God and man." "I therefore sentence you to hang by the neck until you're dead and may the Lord have mercy on your soul." "Court is adjourned." "Thank you, Your Honor." "Just the sentence we wanted." "Was he guilty?" "Well, if he didn't do it, he's surely done something to warrant a hanging." "What man has not?" "Sorry?" "No matter." "Come." "Walk home with me." "I have news for you, my friend." "In order to shield her from the evils of this world I have decided to marry my dear Johanna." "Oh, sir, happy news indeed." "Strange, though." "When I offered myself to her, she showed a certain reluctance." "Excuse me, my lord May I request, my lord" "Permission, my lord, to speak?" "Forgive me if I suggest, my lord" "You're looking less than your best My lord" "There's powder upon your vest, my lord And stubble upon your cheek" "And ladies, my lord, are weak" "Stubble, you say?" "Well, perhaps I am a little overhasty in the mornings." "Fret not, though, my lord I know a place, my lord" "A barber, my lord, of skill" "Thus armed with a shaven face, my lord Some eau de cologne to brace, my lord" "And musk to enhance the chase, my lord You'll dazzle the girl until" "Until?" "She bows to your every will" "A barber?" "Take me to him." "His name is Todd, my lord, and he is the very last word in barbering." "You ought to slow down a bit, lad." "It'll go straight to your head." "They used to give it to us in the workhouse so's we could sleep." "Not that you'd wanna sleep in that place, ma'am." "Not with the things what happened in the dark." "That's nice, dear." "Think I'll just pop in on Mr. Todd for a tick." "You all right there?" "Leave the bottle." "That lad is drinking me out of house and home." "How long till Pirelli gets back?" "He won't be back." "Mr. T, you didn't." "You're barking mad." "Killing a man what done you no harm." "He recognized me from the old days." "Tried to blackmail me." "Half me earnings." "Oh, well." "That's a different matter, then." "For a moment there, I thought you'd lost your marbles." "All that blood." "Poor bugger." "Oh, well." "Well, waste not, want not." "So, what are we gonna do about the boy, then?" "Send him up." "Oh, we don't need to worry about him." "He's a simple thing." "Send him up!" "Now, Mr. T, surely one's enough for today." "Besides, I was thinking of hiring the lad to help me around the shop." "Me poor knees aren't what they used to be." "All right." "Of course, we're gonna have to stock up on the gin." "Boy drinks like a sailor." "The judge." "Get out." "Get out!" "Mr. Todd?" "At your service." "An honor to receive your patronage, milord." "You know me, sir?" "Who in this wide world does not know the great Judge Turpin?" "These premises are hardly prepossessing, and yet the beadle tells me you're the most accomplished of all the barbers in the city." "That is gracious of him, sir." "What may I do for you today, sir?" "A stylish trimming of the hair?" "Soothing skin massage?" "Sit, sir." "Sit." "You see, sir, a man infatuate with love Her ardent and eager slave" "So fetch the pomade and pumice stone And lend me a more seductive tone" "A sprinkling, perhaps, of French cologne But first, sir, I think" "A shave" "The closest I ever gave" "You're in a merry mood today, Mr. Todd." "'Tis your delight, sir, catching fire From one man to the next" "'Tis true, sir, love can still inspire The blood to pound, the heart leap higher" " What more can man require?" " What more can man require?" " Than love, sir?" " More than love, sir" " What, sir?"

"I've seen Johanna and she said she'd leave with me tonight." "You." "There is indeed a higher power, to warn me thus in time." "Johanna, elope with you?" "I'll make sure neither you nor any other man shall ever set eyes on her again." "As for you, barber, it's all too clear what company you keep." "Service them well and hold their custom, for you'll have none of mine." " Mr. Todd, you have to help me." " Out." " Mr. Todd, please." "Mr. Todd!" " Out." "Out!" "All this shouting and running about." "What's happened?" "I had him." "The sailor busted in." "I saw them running down the stairs." "I had him!" "His throat was bare beneath my hand" " There, there, dear." "Calm down." " No, I had him!" "His throat was there And he'll never come again" "Easy, now Hush, love, hush" "I keep telling you" " When?" " What's your rush?" "Why did I wait?" "You told me to wait" "Now he'll never come again" "There's a hole in the world Like a great black pit" "And it's filled with people Who are filled with shit" "And the vermin of the world inhabit it" "But not for long" "They all deserve to die" "Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett Tell you why" "Because in all of the whole human race Mrs. Lovett" "There are two kinds of men And only two" "There's the one staying put In his proper place" "And the one with his foot In the other one's face" "Look at me, Mrs. Lovett, look at you" "No, we all deserve to die" "Even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I" "Because the lives of the wicked Should be made brief" "For the rest of us Death will be a relief" "We all deserve to die" "And I'll never see Johanna" "No, I'll never hug my girl to me" "Finished!"
