I had him!
His throat was there beneath my hand.
No, I had him!
His throat was there and now he'll never come again.
Mrs. Lovett: Easy now, hush Amore hush
I keep telling you, Whats your rush?
Todd: When? Why did I wait?
te 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 te why, Mrs. Lovett, tell te why.
Because in all of the whole human race
Mrs. Lovett, there are 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
Tell te why, Mrs. Lovett, tell te why.
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! te sir, te sir, how about a shave?
Come and visit your good friend Sweeney.
te sir, too sir? Welcome to the grave.
I will have vengenance.
I will have salvation.
Who sir, te sir?
No ones in the chair, Come on! Come on!
Sweeney's. waiting. I want te bleeders.
te 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 honorable 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!

Green finch, and linnet bird,
Nightingale, blackbird,
How is it te sing?
How can te jubilate
sitting in cages
never taking wing?
Outside the sky waits
beckoning!
Beckoning!
Just beyond the bars...
How can te remain
staring at the rain
maddened da the stars?
How is it te sing
anything?
How is it te sing?
Green finch. and linnet bird,
nightingale, blackbird
How is it te sing?
Whence comes this melody
constantly floating?
Is it rejoicing o merely aloaming?
Are te discussing?
o fussing?
o simply dreaming?
Are te crowing?
Are te screaming?
Ringdove and robinet
is it for wages?
Canto to be sold?
Have te decided it's safer in cages
Canto when you're told?
My cage has many rooms
damask and dark...
Nothing there sings,
not even my lark.
Larks never will, te know,
when they're captive.
Teach me to be more
adaptive.
Ah...
Green Finch, and Linnet Bird,
nightingale, blackbird,
teach me how to sing.
If I cannot fly...
Let me sing.

I know there's already stories on here of how fan found out about sweeney todd, but i thought id like to share mine.
About seven months ago, like around June, i was looking up twilight parodies/spoofs and came across the hillywood show's twilight parody.(at the time, i didnt really know who they were.) i thought "wow, that was incredible!" so i went 2 their website and started watching their vids. and all of te who r a big fan of johnny depp, you'll Amore the show. so, i got 2 the sweeney todd episodes. i knew who sweeney todd was but i didnt really know the story. i just, te know, thought that he was killing people for no apparent reason:P i started to really like the music. that led me to buy the cd. which led me to buy the movie. which then led me 2 buy the movie companion book. when it came out 2 theaters and when i saw the trailers, i didnt pay much attention to it. now i do! oh ya and this was also how i am a big fan of johnny depp.
I would hane to say that Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett put the fun in dysfunctional. I loved how Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovett would sing, dance and kill their customers on a daily bases like it was just a job. In my opinion Mrs. Lovett was da all means the più evil out of the two.
I really felt bad for Mrs. Lovett because she loved Sweeney Todd so much and he did not even notice her. The only time he would pay attention to her was when he needed her to do something for him.
It really is a shame because Mrs. Lovett would have made a great wife for Sweeney Todd that is if he loved her at all because she loved him with all her cuore even though she knew that he did not Amore her and yet she would do anything for him.
