[spoken:]
- ANTHONY HOPE: “Mr. Todd--you have to help me--Mr. Todd, please.”
- TODD: “Out.”
- ANTHONY HOPE: “Mr. Todd!”
- TODD: “OUT!”
- MRS. LOVETT: “All this shoutin' and runnin' about -- what's happened?”

- TODD:
“I had him!” His throat was bare beneath my hand
“No! I had him!” His throat was there and he'll never come again!

- MRS. LOVETT:
Easy now
Hush, love, hush
I keep tellin' 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 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!

Alright! You, sir
How 'bout 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!

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, now 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 honourable 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!
