Final Scene
[MRS. LOVETT]
Toby, where are you, love

(spoken)
Where is he?

Nothing's gonna harm you, not while I'm around

[TODD, spoken]
Toby, Toby

[MRS. LOVETT]
Nothing's gonna harm you, darling, not while I'm around

[TODD, spoken]
Toby?

[ANTHONY, spoken]
Mr Todd! (to Johanna) you wait for him here. I'll return with the coach in less than half an hour. Don't worry. No one will
Recognize you. You're safe now

[JOHANNA, spoken]
Safe? So we run away and then all our dreams come true?

[ANTHONY, spoken]
I hope so
[JOHANNA, spoken]
I've never had dreams... only nightmares

[ANTHONY, spoken]
Johanna, when we're free of this place all the ghosts will go away

[JOHANNA, spoken]
No, Anthony, they never go away

[ANTHONY, spoken]
I'll be right back to you. Half an hour and we'll be free!

[BEGGAR WOMAN]
Beadle, Beadle
No good hiding I saw you
Are you in there still, beadle
Beadle, beadle, dear beadle
Beadle deedle deedle
Deedle deedle dumpling
Beadle dumpling
Ba deedle deedle deedle
Deedle deedle deedle deedle
Deedle deedle deedle deedle
Deedle deedle

[TODD, spoken]
Who are you? What are you doing here?
[BEGGAR WOMAN, spoken]
Evil it is, Sir. The stink of evil from below! From her! She's the devil's wife! Beware of her sir. She, with no pity in her heart!

(sung)
Hey, don't I know you mister?

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Mr. Todd?
Where is she?

[TODD, spoken]
Below, your honor, with my neighbor. Thank heavens the sailor did not molest her. Thank heavens too, she has seen the error
Of her ways

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
She has?

[TODD, spoken]
Oh, yes, your lesson was well learned. She speaks only of you, longing for forgiveness

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Then she shall have it!
She'll be here soon, you say?

[TODD, spoken]
Yes!
[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Excellent, my friend!

[TODD, spoken]
How 'bout a shave?
Sit, sir, sit!

[JUDGE TURPIN]
Oh, pretty women

[TODD]
Pretty women, yes!

[JUDGE TURPIN]
Johanna, Johanna

[TODD]
Pretty women, pretty women are a wonder. Pretty women!

[TODD & JUDGE TURPIN]
Pretty women what would we do
For women

[TODD & JUDGE TURPIN]
Blowing out their candles
Or combing out their hair

[JUDGE TURPIN]
Then they leave

[TODD & JUDGE TURPIN]
Even when they even when they
Leave they still leave you and
Are there, there vanish they
There somehow can still
Remain there with
You there

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
How seldom it is one meets a fellow spirit

[TODD, spoken]
With fellow taste... in women at least

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
What's that?

[TODD, spoken]
The years no doubt have changed me, sir, but now I suppose the face of a barber—the face of a prisoner in the dark is not
Particularly memorable

[JUDGE TURPIN, spoken]
Benjamin Barker!

[TODD, spoken]
BENJAMIN BARKER!

(sung)
Rest now my friend
Rest now forever
Sleep now the untroubled
Sleep of the angels

(spoken)
"Don't I know you", she said... you knew she lived

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
I was only thinking of you

[TODD, spoken]
You lied to me

[MRS. LOVETT]
No, no, not lied at all
No I never lied

[TODD & MRS. LOVETT]
Lucy, said she took a
Poison, she did
I've never said that she
Died! poor thing
Come she lived, but it
Left her weak in the
Home head all she did for
Months was just lie
Again there in bed. Should
Have been in
Lucy! hospital, wound up
In bedlam instead
Oh my poor thing, better
You should think she
God was dead, yes I lied
Cause I love you
Lucy I'd be twice the
Wife she was I
What love you. Could that
Thing have cared for
Have I you, like me?
Done?

[TODD]
Mrs. Lovett, you're a bloody wonder
Eminently practical and yet appropriate as always
As you've said repeatedly there's
Little point in dwelling on the past

[TODD & MRS. LOVETT]
Now come here do you mean it?
My love everything I did
Nothing I swear I thought
To fear was only for the
My love best. belive me!
What's dead Can we still be
Is dead married?

[TODD]
The history of the world, my pet

[MRS. LOVETT]
Oh, Mr. Todd
Oh, Mr. Todd
Leave it to me!

[TODD]
Is learn forgiveness
And try to forget

[MRS. LOVETT]
By the sea, Mr. Todd
We'll be comfy, cozy
By the sea Mr. Todd
Where there's no one nosy

[TODD]
Life is for the alive, my dear
So let's keep living it

[TODD & MRS. LOVETT]
Just keep living it
Really living it

[MRS. LOVETT]
(screams)
AHHHH AHHHHH AAHHHHHHHH AHHH AHH AH AH

[TODD]
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—
