sweeney todd (please read!!! very important to me)

Todd jumps up from chair opposite of Lovett showing chained hands.
Todd:
I had him!
His throat was bare
Beneath my hand—
Holds up left hand straining the cuffs. Lovett jumps up and pushes Todd down gently
Mrs. Lovett: [Spoken]
There, there, dear. Don’t fret.
Todd jumps up again and pushes her aside
Todd:
No, I had him!
His throat was there,
And he’ll never come again!
Lovett pushes Todd down again but looks around worried.
Mrs. Lovett:
Easy now.
Hush, love, hush,
I keep telling you— (shakes finger at Todd)
Todd says looking at Lovett with hatred
Todd:
When?
Lovett sits down on her chair scared
Mrs. Lovett:
What’s your rush?
Bangs fists against table
Todd:
Why did I wait?
You told me to wait!
Now he’ll never come again!
Jumps up and waves hand over audience while singing
There’s a hole in the world
Like a great black pit
And it’s filled with people (points at random people)
Who are filled with (S)hit
And the vermin of the world (looks at Lovett)
Inhabit it—
But not for long! (turns back to audience)
Walks out into the audience while police walk on stage looking for Todd
They all deserve to die!
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett,
Tell you why.
Because in all of the whole human race,
Mrs. Lovett, (walks over to two men and sticks head between the two)
There are two kinds of men
And only two. (Look at one)
There’s the one staying put
In his proper place (looks at other)
And the one with his foot
In the other one’s face—
Look at me, Mrs. Lovett, (points to self)
Look at you! (Points to Lovett who is shocked)
Police grab Todd but Todd breaks free and his hand cuffs are gone and he has his razors
No, we all deserve to die!
Even you, Mrs. Lovett, (Points at Lovett with razor)
Even I. (Points at self)
Because the lives of the wicked (walks up to random person)
Should be (Pretends to cut someone’s throat)
Made brief.
For the rest of us, death
Will be relief.
We all deserve to die!
Walks backwards towards stage
And I’ll never see Johanna,
No, I’ll never hug my girl to me— (Todd sad look)
Finished!
Walks back out to audience
All right! You, sir, (points at man)
How about a shave? (Tilts head)
Come and visit (Beckoning hand gestures)
Your good friend Sweeney!
You, sir, too, sir, (points at another random guy. Police officer tries to grab Todd who cuts his throat)
Welcome to the grave!
I will have vengeance,
I will have salvation!
Walks down path to another man
Who, sir? You, sir? (Walks around looking at all the men)
No one in the chair,
Come one, come on,
Sweeney’s waiting!
I want your bleeders!
You, sir—anybody! (points at beared man then everyone)
Gentlemen, now don’t be shy!
Not one man, no, (Point at dead body on floor)
Nor ten men, (Point backstage)
Nor a hundred (point at audience)
Can assuage me—
I will have you!

And I will get him back (Slashes air as Todd walks back towards stage)
Even as he gloats. (Police walks up)
In the meantime I’ll practice
On less honourable throats. (Todd slashes police’s throat and steps onstage)

And my Lucy lies in ashes (falls to ground)
And I’ll never see my girl again,
But the work waits, (stands up)
I’m alive at last
And I’m full of joy! (holds up razor)

Mrs. Lovett: [Spoken] (sitting down with hand resting in her hand)
That’s all very well. But all that matters now is him! What are we going
to do about him? (pointing at police officer)
group of police officers come in and drag Todd of stage.

Mrs. Lovett: You should have waited.....
