MRS.LOVETT That's all well,but what we gonna do about him? SWEENEY TODD Later on when it's dark,we'II take it to some secret place and burny him LOVETT Oh yeah.Of caurse 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 Wat '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 thnift, As a gift, If you grt 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 for as taste!
