Judge Todd
What we do for
Pretty women! Pretty women!
Blowing out their candles Blowing out their candles
Or combing out their hair… Or combing out their hair…
Th en they leave…
Even when they leave you Even when they leave
And vanish, they somehow Th ey still
Can still remain Are there,
Th ere with you, there… Th ey're there…

Judge:
How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit!

Todd:
With fellow tastes—in women, at least.

Judge:
What's that?

Todd:
Th e 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:
Benjamin Barker!

Todd:
Benjamin Barker!...
Rest now, my friend,
Rest now forever.
Sleep now the untroubled
Sleep of the angels…
"Don't I know you?" she said…
You knew she lived.

Mrs. Lovett:
I was only thinking of you!

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 'cos I love you!

Todd:
Lucy…

Mrs. Lovett:
I'd be twice the wife she was!
I love you!
Could that thing have cared for you
Like me?

Todd:
What have I done?! …
Mrs. Lovett,
You're a bloody wonder,
Eminently practical and yet
Appropriate as always.
As you've said repeatedly,
Th ere's little point in dwelling on the past.

Married? Is dead.

Todd
Th e history of the world, my pet— A foolish barber and his wife,

And she was beautiful.
