Final Scene
Mrs. Lovett: Toby!
Where are you, love?
-[whisper]- Where is he?
Nothing's gonna harm you--
Not while I'm around
Sweeney Todd: Toby?
Toby?
Mrs. Lovett: Nothing's gonna harm you, darlin'
Not while I'm around
Sweeney Todd: Toby?
[Instrumental]
Anthony Hope: Mr. Todd!
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: Safe? So we run away and then all our dreams come true?
Anthony Hope: I hope so.
Johanna: I've never had dreams. Only nightmares.
Anthony Hope: Johanna, when we're free of this place, all the ghosts will go away.
Johanna: No, Anthony. They never go away.
Anthony Hope: I'll be right back to you. Half an hour and we'll be free.
[Instrumental]
Beggar Woman: Beadle!
Beadle!
No good hidin', I saw you!
Are you in there still?
Beadle!
Beadle!
Beadle, dear, Beadle
[Brief Instrumental]
Beggar Woman: Beadle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-dumpling
Beadle, dumpling, Be-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-
deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle-deedle
!
Sweeney Todd: Who are you? What are you doing in here!?
Beggar Woman: Evil this is, sir. The stink of evil--from below--from her!
She's the devil's wife! Beware her, sir. She with no pity
in her heart.
Hey-- don't I know you, mister?
Judge Turpin: Mr. Todd?
[Dramatic Instrumental]
Judge Turpin: Where is she?
Sweeney Todd: Below, your honor. With my neighbour. Thank heavens
the sailor did not molest her. Thank heavens too, she has
seen the error of her ways.
Judge Turpin: She has?
Sweeney Todd: Oh yes, your lesson was well learned.
She speaks only of you, longing for forgiveness
Judge Turpin: Then she shall have it.
She'll be here soon, you say?
Sweeney Todd: Yes.
Judge Turpin: Excellent, my friend.
Sweeney Todd: How bout a shave? Sit, sir, sit.
Judge Turpin: Ah
pretty women
Sweeney Todd: Pretty women, yes
Judge Turpin: Johanna, Johanna
Sweeney Todd: Pretty women
Pretty women are a wonder
Pretty women
Judge Turpin: What we do for women!
Sweeney Todd: Pretty women
Blowing out their
Judge Turpin: Blowing out their
BOTH: Candles
Sweeney Todd: Or-- combing out their
Judge Turpin: Combing out their
BOTH: Hair
Judge Turpin: Then they leave
Sweeney Todd: Even when they leave
[Simultaneously:]
Judge Turpin: Even when they leave you and vanish
They somehow can still remain
There with you
There
Sweeney Todd: They still
Are there
They're there
Judge Turpin: How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit!
Sweeney Todd: With fellow tastes-- in women, at least.
Judge Turpin: What's that?
Sweeney 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.
Judge Turpin: Benjamin Barker!
Sweeney Todd: BENJAMIN BARKER!!!
[Dramatic Instrumental]
Sweeney Todd: Rest now, my friend
Rest now - forever
Sleep now the untroubled
Sleep of the angels
[Instrumental]
Sweeney Todd: 'Don't I know you?' she said.
You knew she lived.
Mrs. Lovett: I was only thinkin' of you!
Sweeney Todd: You lied to me.
Mrs. Lovett: No, no, not lied at all
No, I never lied!
Sweeney Todd: Lucy
Mrs. Lovett: Said she took the poison-- she did
Never said that she died
Sweeney Todd: I've come home again...
Mrs. Lovett: Poor thing!
She lived but it left her weak in the head
All she did for months was just lie there in bed--
Sweeney Todd: Lucy
Mrs. Lovett: Should've been in a hospital
Wound up in Bedlam instead
Poor thing!
Sweeney Todd: Oh, my God
Mrs. Lovett: Better you should think she was dead
Yes, I lied cos I love you!
Sweeney Todd: Lucy
Mrs. Lovett: I'd be twice the wife she was!
I love you!
Sweeney Todd: What have I done!?
Mrs. Lovett: 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!
[Simultaneously:]
Sweeney Todd: Now 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?
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-cosy
By the sea, Mr. Todd, where there's no one nosy
Sweeney Todd: And life is for the alive, my dear
So let's keep living it--!
BOTH: Just keep living it!
Really living it--
Mrs. Lovett: AARRGHHHH!!
AARRGHHHHHHH!!
AARRGHHHHHHHHH!!
[Dramatic Instrumental]
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--
[Instrumental to End]
