Toby?
Anthony:
(spoken)
Mr Todd! (to Johanna) 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:
(spoken)
safe? so we run away and then all our dreams come true?
Anthony:
(spoken)
I hope so
Johanna:
(spoken)
I've never had dreams... only nightmares
Anthony:
(spoken)
Johanna, when we're free of this place all the ghosts will go away.
Johanna:
(spoken)
No, Anthony, they never go away.
Anthony:
(spoken)
I'll be right back to you. half an hour and we'll be free!
Beggar Woman:
Beadle, Beadle,

Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
who are you? What are you doing here?
Beggar Woman:
(spoken)
Evil it is, Sir. the stink of evil from below! From her! she's the devil's wife! beware of her sir. She, with no pity in her
heart!
(sung)
hey, don't i know you mister?
Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
Mr. Todd?
where is she?
Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
below, your honor, with my neighbor. Thank heavens the sailor did not molest her. thank heavens too, she has seen the error
of her ways.
Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
she has?
Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
oh, yes, your lesson was well learned. she speaks only of you, longing for forgiveness.
Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
then she shall have it!
she'll be here soon, you say?
Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
yes!
Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
Excellent, my friend!
Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
how bout a shave?
sit, sir, sit!
Judge Turpin:
Oh, Pretty Women
Sweeney Todd:
Pretty Women, Yes!
Judge Turpin:
Johanna, Johanna.
Sweeney Todd:
pretty women, pretty women are a wonder. pretty women!
Sweeney Todd:
Pretty Women
Judge Turpin:
what would we do
for women
Turpin&Todd:
blowing out their candles
or combing out their hair
Judge Turpin:
then they leave
Todd:
even when they
leave they still
are there, there
there
Judge Turpin:
even when they
leave you and
vanish they
somehow can still
remain there with
you there
Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
how seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit
Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
with fellow taste... in women at least
Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
what's that?
Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
the years no doubt have changed me, sir, but now i suppose the face of a barber the face of a prisoner in the dark is not
particularly memorable.
Judge Turpin:
(spoken)
Benjamin Barker!
Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
BENJAMIN BARKER!
(sung)
rest now my friend
rest now forever
sleep now the untroubled
sleep of the angels
(spoken)
"don't i know you", she said... you knew she lived.
Mrs. Lovett:
(spoken)
i was only thinking of you
Sweeney Todd:
(spoken)
you lied to me
Mrs. Lovett:
no, no, not lied at all
no i never lied
Sweeney Todd(the same time as Mrs. Lovett):
Lucy...
Lucy...
oh my God!
Lucy!
what have i done?
Mrs. Lovett:
I said she took a poison, she did,
i've never said that she died!
poor thing, come she lived,
but it left her weak in the home head
all she did for months was just lie
again there in bed.
should have been in hospital,
wound up in bedlam instead
poor thing,
better you should think she was dead,
yes i lied because i love you.
I'd be twice the
wife she was
i love you.
could that thing have cared for you, like me?
Sweeney Todd:
Mrs. Lovett, you're a bloody wonder, eminently practical and yet appropriate as always. as you've said repeatedly there's
little point in dwelling on the past
Sweeney Todd (the same time as Mrs. Lovett):
now come here
my love
nothing
to fear
my love best.
what's dead
is dead
Mrs. Lovett:
do you mean it?
everything I did
I swear I thought
was only for the
belive 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, cozy
by the sea Mr. Todd
where there's no one nosy
Sweeney Todd:
life is for the alive, my dear
so let's keep living it
Todd&Lovett
just keep living it
Really Living it
Mrs. Lovett:
(screams)
AHHHH AHHHHH AAHHHHHHHH AHHH AHH AH AH
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--
