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.

I can guarantee the closest shave you'll ever know.

These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett. Desperate measures are called for...

Anthony

Is everything all right, Mr. Todd?

Sweeney Todd

I beg your indulgence, Anthony. My mind is far from easy. In these once familiar streets I feel... shadows... everywhere.

Anthony

Shadows?

Sweeney Todd

Ghosts.

Sweeney Todd

You have a room over the shop, don't you? If times are so hard, why don't you rent it out?

Mrs. Lovett

Oh no, not up there. Haven't been there in years. People think it's haunted.

Sweeney Todd

Haunted?

Mrs. Lovett

Yeah. And who's to say they're wrong? You see, years ago, something happened up there. Something not very nice.

Sweeney Todd

And who may it be said is your intended, sir?

Judge Turpin

My ward... and pretty as a rosebud.

Sweeney Todd

Pretty as her mother?

Judge Turpin

Wha... what was that?

Sweeney Todd
[smiles]

Nothing, sir. Nothing. May we proceed?

Mrs. Lovett
[Mrs. Lovett finds Todd with Pirelli's dead body]

Mr. T, you didn't! You're barking mad! Killing a man what done ya no harm!

Sweeney Todd

He recognized me from the old days. Tried to blackmail me. Half me earnings.

Mrs. Lovett
[relieved]

Oh, well that's a different matter then. For a moment there I thought you lost your marbles. Ugh! All that blood. Poor bugger. Oh well!

Mrs. Lovett
[looks through Pirelli's jacket before removing his money pouch and examining its contents]

Well, waste not, want not! [puts the money in her cleavage]

Turpin

How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit.

Todd

With fellow tastes... in women at least.

Turpin

What's that?

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.

Turpin
[stunned]

Benjamin... Barker...

Todd

BENJAMIN BARKER!!!
[stabs Turpin repeatedly in the neck, then slashes his throat]
