[from trailer]::Sweeney Todd: I can guarantee the closest shave you'll ever know.

Signor Adolfo Pirelli: [to Sweeney] May the good Lord smile on you... until we meet again.

[from trailer]::Judge Turpin: [as he sentences boy prisoner] May the Lord have mercy on your soul.

Sweeney Todd: [holding up one of his razors] At last! My arm is complete again!

[singing]::Sweeney Todd: Alright! You, sir? How about a shave? Come and visit your good friend Sweeney! You sir! Too, sir. Welcome to the grave... I will have vengeance. I will have salvation... Who, sir? You sir!No one's in the chair. Come on, come on! Sweeney's waiting. I want you bleeders. You 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!

Sweeney Todd: Noooooo! Would no one have mercy on her?::Mrs. Lovett: So it's you. Benjamin Barker::Sweeney Todd: Where's Lucy? Where's my wife?::Mrs. Lovett: She poisoned herself, arsenic from the apothecary round the corner, I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen to me, and he's got your daughter.::Sweeney Todd: He? Judge Turpin?::Mrs. Lovett: [nods] Adopted her like his own.::Sweeney Todd: 15 years sweating, and living hell, for a false charge. 15 years dreaming I might come home to a wife and child.::Mrs. Lovett: Well, I can't say the years have been particularly kind to you, Mr. Barker.::Sweeney Todd: No, not Barker. That man is dead. It's Todd now. Sweeney Todd... and he will have his revenge.

Sweeney Todd: [sung] They all deserve to die. Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you 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 one with his foot in the other one's face. Look at me, Mrs Lovett! Look at you! No, we all deserve to die... Even you, Mrs Lovett, even I! 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!

Sweeney Todd: [sung to his razor] You there, my friend... /Come, let me hold you...::Mrs. Lovett: [sung] I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd... /If you only knew, Mr Todd...::Sweeney Todd: Now, with a sigh / You grow warm in my hand.::Mrs. Lovett: [unison] Ooh, Mr. Todd, / You're warm in my hand.::Sweeney Todd: My friend.::Mrs. Lovett: [unison] You've come home.::Sweeney Todd: My clever friend.::Mrs. Lovett: [unison] Always had a fondness for you, I did.

Mrs. Lovett: That lad is drinking me out o' house an' home.

Sweeney Todd: What is that?::Mrs. Lovett: It's fop, / Finest in the shop. / Or we have shepherd's pie peppered with actual shepherd on top. And I've just begun. Here's the politician, so oily it's served on a doily, have one.

Frazier (editor), Edmund Lyndeck (actor), Bonnie Burns (producer), Franne Lee (costume designer), Sal Mistretta (actor), Calvin Remsberg (actor), Larry Fuller (miscellaneous crew), Patricia Parker (actress), Walter Charles (actor),

Plot: It's 1846. Sweeney Todd and Anthony Hope, greeted only by a crazed beggar woman, sail into London, where Todd implies he has been before but not in quite some time. Todd heads to his old stomping grounds of Fleet Street, where he runs across the pie shop belonging to Mrs. Nellie Lovett, who professes to make the worst meat pies in London due to the high cost of meat. The upstairs of her building has sat empty since no one wants to rent a space that is considered haunted by its long ago tenant, barber Benjamin Barker who was falsely accused and ultimately sentenced by the sadistic Judge Turpin and who was shipped away to prison in Australia, leaving his wife Lucy and infant daughter Johanna alone in the world. Todd comes to an agreement with Mrs. Lovett to rent the upstairs of her building so that he can open his own barber shop. A series of incidents, including one with rival barber Senor Pirelli, make Todd change his focus slightly away from having a choice encounter with Judge Turpin and his equally sadistic henchman Beadle Bamford, which was one of the reasons he returned to London. Mrs. Lovett believes this change can only help her pie shop. Meanwhile, upon sighting each other, Anthony and Johanna fall in love at first sight. Johanna is now the ward of Judge Turpin, who has his own incompatible wants with her. Todd and Mrs. Lovett's collaboration as well as Anthony's pursuit of Johanna take marked turns with a number of revelations, most specifically about the crazed beggar woman and Mrs. Lovett's motivations.

Nellie Lovett: [singing, after Sweeney Todd has bitten into one of Mrs Lovett's pies] Is that just disgusting? You have to conceed it. It's nothing but crusting, here drink this - you'll need it.

Sweeney Todd: [singing] There's a hole in the world like a great black pit/ And the vermin of the world inhabit it/ And its morals aren't worth what a pig could spit/ And it goes by the name of London.

[first lines]::Man: [singing] Attend the tale of Sweeney Todd. His skin was pale and his eye was odd. He shaved the faces of gentlemen who never thereafter were heard of again. He trod a path that few have trod, Did Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street.

Sweeney Todd: [singing] 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 - Naive. There was another man who saw that she was beautiful, a pious vulture of the law, who, with a gesture of his claw removed the barber from his plate. Then there was nothing but to wait and she would fall, so soft, so young, so lost, and oh, so beautiful!::Anthony Hope: [speaking] And the lady, sir-did she-succumb?::Sweeney Todd: [singing] Oh, that was many years ago... I doubt if anyone would know.

Sweeney Todd: [singing] You there, my friend. Come, let me hold you. Now, with a sigh you grow warm in my hand, my friend, my clever friend. Rest now, my friends. Soon I'll unfold you. Soon you'll know splendors you never have dreamed all your days, my lucky friends. Till now your shine was merely silver. Friends you shall drip rubies...::Nellie Lovett: [singing] [simultaneously] I'm your friend too, Mr. Todd. If you only knew, Mr. Todd - Ooh, Mr. Todd, you're warm in my hand. You've come home.

Silver's good enough for me, Mr. T.::Sweeney Todd: [singing] You'll soon drip precious rubies...::Sweeney Todd: [holds up his razor]::Sweeney Todd: [singing] At last, my right arm is complete again!

Johanna: [singing] Green finch and linnet bird, mightingale, blackbird, how is it you sing? how can you jubilate, sitting in cages, never taking wing? Outside the sky waits, beckoning, beckoning, just beyond the bars. How can you remain, staring at the rain, maddened by the stars?
