Mrs. Lovett: Toby!
Where are you, love?
-[whisper]- "Where is he?"
Nothing's gonna harm you--
Not while I'm around
Sweeney Todd: "Toby?" ... "Toby?"
Mrs. Lovett: Nothing's gonna harm you, darlin'
Not while I'm around
Sweeney Todd: "Toby?"...
[Instrumental]
Anthony Hope: "Mr. Todd!
You wait for him here. I'll return with the coach in less
than half an hour. Don't worry, no one will recognize you.
You're safe now."
Johanna: "Safe? So we run away and then all our dreams come true?"
Anthony Hope: "I hope so."
Johanna: "I've never had dreams. Only nightmares."
Anthony Hope: "Johanna, when we're free of this place, all the ghosts will go away."
Johanna: "No, Anthony. They never go away."
Anthony Hope: "I'll be right back to you. Half an hour and we'll be free."
[Instrumental]
Beggar Woman: Beadle!... Beadle!...
No good hidin', I saw you!
Are you in there still?
Beadle!... Beadle!...
Beadle, dear, Beadle...
[Brief Instrumental]
Beggar Woman: Beadle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-dumpling
Beadle, dumpling, Be-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-
deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle...!
Sweeney Todd: "Who are you? What are you doing in here!?"
Beggar Woman: "Evil this is, sir. The stink of evil--from below--from her!
She's the devil's wife! Beware her, sir. She with no pity
in her heart."
Hey-- don't I know you, mister?
Judge Turpin: "Mr. Todd?"
[Dramatic Instrumental]
Judge Turpin: "Where is she?"
Sweeney Todd: "Below, your honor. With my neighbour. Thank heavens
the sailor did not molest her. Thank heavens too, she has
seen the error of her ways."
Judge Turpin: "She has?"
Sweeney Todd: "Oh yes, your lesson was well learned.
She speaks only of you, longing for forgiveness"
Judge Turpin: "Then she shall have it.
She'll be here soon, you say?"
Sweeney Todd: "Yes."
Judge Turpin: "Excellent, my friend."
Sweeney Todd: "How 'bout a shave? Sit, sir, sit."
Judge Turpin: Ah... pretty women
Sweeney Todd: Pretty women, yes
Judge Turpin: Johanna, Johanna...
Sweeney Todd: Pretty women
Pretty women are a wonder
Pretty women
Judge Turpin: What we do for women!
Sweeney Todd: Pretty women
Blowing out their...
Judge Turpin: Blowing out their
BOTH: Candles
Sweeney Todd: Or-- combing out their...
Judge Turpin: Combing out their
BOTH: Hair
Judge Turpin: Then they leave
Sweeney Todd: Even when they leave...
[Simultaneously:]
Judge Turpin: Even when they leave you and vanish
They somehow can still remain
There with you
There
Sweeney Todd: They still
Are there
They're there
Judge Turpin: "How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit!"
Sweeney Todd: "With fellow tastes-- in women, at least."
Judge Turpin: "What's that?"
Sweeney Todd: "The years no doubt have changed me, sir.
But then, I suppose, the face of a barber-- the
face of a prisoner in the dock-- is not particularly
memorable."
Judge Turpin: "Benjamin Barker!"
Sweeney Todd: "BENJAMIN BARKER!!!"
[Dramatic Instrumental]
Sweeney Todd: Rest now, my friend
Rest now - forever
Sleep now the untroubled
Sleep of the angels...
[Instrumental]
Sweeney Todd: "'Don't I know you?' she said.
...You knew she lived."
Mrs. Lovett: "I was only thinkin' of you!"
Sweeney Todd: "You lied to me."
Mrs. Lovett: No, no, not lied at all
No, I never lied!
Sweeney Todd: Lucy...
Mrs. Lovett: Said she took the poison-- she did
Never said that she died
Sweeney Todd: I've come home again...
Mrs. Lovett: Poor thing!
She lived but it left her weak in the head
All she did for months was just lie there in bed--
Sweeney Todd: Lucy...
Mrs. Lovett: Should've been in a hospital
Wound up in Bedlam instead
Poor thing!
Sweeney Todd: Oh, my God...
Mrs. Lovett: Better you should think she was dead
Yes, I lied 'cos I love you!
Sweeney Todd: Lucy...
Mrs. Lovett: I'd be twice the wife she was!
I love you!
Sweeney Todd: What have I done!?...
Mrs. Lovett: Could that thing have cared for you like me?
Sweeney Todd: Mrs. Lovett
You're a b_____ wonder
Eminently practical and yet
Appropriate as always
As you've said repeatedly
There's little point in dwelling on the past!
[Simultaneously:]
Sweeney Todd: Now come here, my love...
Not a thing to fear, my love...
What's dead, is dead!
Mrs. Lovett: Do you mean it?
Everything I did
I swear I thought was only for the best
Believe me!
Can we
Still be
Married?
Sweeney Todd: The history of the world, my pet--
Mrs. Lovett: Oh, Mr. Todd
Oh, Mr. Todd
Leave it to me...
Sweeney Todd: Is learn forgiveness and try to forget
Mrs. Lovett: By the sea, Mr. Todd, we'll be comfy-cosy
By the sea, Mr. Todd, where there's no one nosy
Sweeney Todd: And life is for the alive, my dear
So let's keep living it--!
BOTH: Just keep living it!
Really living it--
Mrs. Lovett: AARRGHHHH!!
AARRGHHHHHHH!!
AARRGHHHHHHHHH!!
[Dramatic Instrumental]
Sweeney Todd: There was a barber and his wife
And she was beautiful
A foolish barber and his wife
She was his reason and his life
And she was beautiful
And she was virtuous
And he was--
[Instrumental to End]
