Lovett: All this running and shouting about what's happened?
Todd: No I had him! His throat was there beneath my hand. I had swear I had him! His throat was there and now he'll never come again.
Mrs. Lovett: Easy now, hush love hush I keep telling you -
Todd: When? Mrs. Lovett: What's your rush? Todd: 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 Joanna No I'll never hug my girl to me - finished! (shouted) All right! You sir, how about a shave? Come and visit your good friend Sweeney. You sir, too sir. Welcome to the grave.
I will have vengeance. I will have salvation. (shouted) Who sir, you sir? No one's in the chair, come on! Come on! Sweeney's waiting. I want you bleeders. You sir - anybody. Gentlemen don't be shy!
Not one man, no, nor ten men. Nor a hundred can assuage me - I will have you! And I will get him back even as he gloats In the meantime I'll practice on less honorable throats. And my Lucy lies in ashes And I'll never see my girl again.
But the work waits! I'm alive at last! And I'm full of joy!
