I'll return with the coach in less than half an hour [JOHANNA] But they are after us still. What if they trace us here? Oh, Anthony, please let me come with you [ANTHONY] No, my darling, there is no safety for you on the street [JOHANNA] But dressed in these sailor's clothes, who's to know it is I? [ANTHONY] No, the risk is too great Ah, miss Look at me, look at me, miss, oh Look at me please, oh Favor me, favor me with your glance Ah, miss Soon we'll be, soon we'll be gone And sailing the seas And happily, happily wed in france [ANTHONY/JOHANNA] And we'll sail the world And see its wonders From the pearls of spain To the rubies of tibet— [ANTHONY] And then come home to London Some day.

Beadle deedle deedle deedle deedle dumpling Beadle dumpling, be-deedle dumpling... [TODD] You! What are you doing here? [BEGGAR WOMAN] Ah, evil is here, sir. The stink of evil — from below — from her! Beadle dear, Beadle! [TODD] Out of here, woman [BEGGAR WOMAN] She's the devil's wife! Oh, beware her, sir. Beware of her. She with no pity in her heart [TODD] Out, I say! [BEGGAR WOMAN] Hey, don't I know you, mister? [TURPIN] Mr. Todd, sir! [TODD] The judge. I have no time [TURPIN] Where is she? Where is the girl? [TODD] Below, your honor. With my neighbor, Mrs. Lovett. thank heavens the sailor did not molest her. Thank heavens, too, she has seen the error of her ways [TURPIN] She has? [TODD] Oh yes, sir, your lesson was well learned. She speaks only of you, longing for forgiveness [TURPIN] And she shall have it. She'll be here soon, you say? [TODD] I think I hear her now [TURPIN] Oh, excellent, my friend! [TODD] Is that her dainty footstep on the stair? [TURPIN] I hear nothing [TODD] Yes, isn't that her shadow on the wall? [TURPIN] Where? [TODD] There! Primping Making herself even prettier than usual [TURPIN] Even prettier … If possible [TURPIN] Oh, pretty women! [TODD] Pretty women, yes … [TURPIN] Quickly, sir, a splash of bay rum! [TODD] Sit, sir, sit [TURPIN] Johanna, Johanna [TODD] Pretty women [TURPIN] Hurry, man! [TODD] Pretty women are a wonder [TURPIN] You're in a merry mood again today, barber [TODD] Pretty women! [TURPIN] What we do for [TODD] Pretty women! Blowing out Their candles Or combing out their hair Even when they leave They still Are there There... they're there [TURPIN] Pretty women! Blowing out Their candles Combing out their hair, then they leave Even when they leave you And vanish, they somehow Can still remain There with you, there [TURPIN] How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit! [TODD] With fellow tastes—in women, at least [TURPIN] What? What's that? [TODD] Oh, sire, the years no doubt have changed me. But then, perhaps, the face of a barber—the face of a prisoner in the dock—is not particularly memorable [TURPIN] Benjamin Barker! [TODD] Benjamin Barker! Rest now, my friend Rest now forever Sleep now the untroubled Sleep of the angels [COMPANY] Lift your razor high, Sweeney! Hear it singing, “yes!” Sink it in the rosy skin Of righteousness! [MRS. LOVETT] Die! Die! God in heaven—die! You! Can it be? How all the demons in hell are sent to torment me! [TODD] Why did you scream? Does the judge live still? [MRS. LOVETT] He was clutching, holding on to my skirt, but now he's finished [TODD] Leave them to me. Open the oven doors [MRS. LOVETT] No! [TODD] Open the doors! [MRS. LOVETT] No! Don't go near her! [TODD] What is the matter with you, woman? It's only some meddling old beggar– Oh no! Oh good god…”don't I know you?” she said… you knew she lived. From the first moment that I came into your shop you knew my Lucy lived! [MRS. LOVETT] I was only thinking of you! [TODD] Lucy [MRS. LOVETT] Your Lucy! A crazy hag picking bones and rotten spuds out of alley ash-cans! Would you have wanted to know that she ended up like that? [TODD] You lied to me [MRS. LOVETT] No, no, not lied at all. No, I never lied [TODD] Lucy… [MRS. LOVETT] Said she took the poison—she did Never said that she died—poor thing, she lived [TODD] I've come home again [MRS. LOVETT] But it left her weak in the head All she did for months was just lie there in bed [TODD] Lucy [MRS. LOVETT] Should've been in hospital Wound up in bedlam instead Poor thing! [TODD] Oh, my god! [MRS. LOVETT] Better you should think she was dead Yes, I lied ‘cause I love you! [TODD] Lucy… [MRS. LOVETT] I'd be twice the wife she was! I love you! [TODD] What have I done?… [MRS. LOVETT] Could that thing have cared for you like me? [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 No, 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? [TODD] The history of the world, my pet [MRS. LOVETT] Oh, Mr. Todd Ooh, Mr. Todd Leave it to me .. [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 … [TODD] And life is for the alive, my dear So let's keep living it! Just keep living it Really living it! [MRS. LOVETT] We'll keep living it! Really living it! [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 naive [TOBY] Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker man. Bake me a cake. No, no, bake me a pie to delight my eye, and I will sigh if the crust be high! Mr. Todd. Pat him and prick him and mark him with a "b", and put him in the oven for baby and me!
