MRS. LOVETT
That's all very well, but what we gonna do about him?
SWEENEY TODD
Later on when it's dark, we'll take it to some secret place and bury him
LOVETT
Oh yeah. Of course we could do that. I don't 'spose he's got any relatives gonna come pokin' 'round lookin' for him.
Seems a downright shame...
TODD
Shame?
LOVETT
Seems an awful waste...
Such a nice, plump frame
Wot's 'is name has...
Had...
Has
Nor it can't be traced...
Bus'ness needs a lift,
Debts to be erased...
Think of it as thrift,
As a gift,
If you get my drift
Seems an awful waste...
I mean, with the price of meat
What it is,
When you get it,
If you get it...
TODD
Ah!
LOVETT
Good, you got it!
Take, for instance, Mrs. Mooney and her pie shop!
Bus'ness never better using only pussycats and toast!
Now a pussy's good for maybe six or seven at the most!
And I'm sure they can't compare as far as taste!
[Simultaneously]
TODD
Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion
LOVETT
Well, it does seem a waste...
TODD
Eminently practical
And yet appropriate as always!
LOVETT
Think about it...
TODD
Mrs. Lovett, how I've lived
Without you all these years, I'll never know!
How delectable!
Also undetectable!
LOVETT
Lots of other gentlemen'll
Soon be comin' for a shave,
Won't they?
Think of
All them
Pies!
TODD
How choice!
How
Rare!
For what's the sound of the world out there?
