Stephen Sondheim - Epiphany

Todd: No I had him! His throat was there beneath my hand. No I had him! His throat was there and now he'll never come again. Mrs. Lovett: Easy now, hush love hush I keep telling you - Todd: When? Why do I wait? You told me to wait - Now he'll never come again. There's a hole in the world like a great black pit And it's filled with people who are filled with shitAnd the vermin of the world inhabit it. But not for long... 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 they put in his proper place And the one with his foot in the other one's face Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you. Now 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 Joanna No I'll never hold my girl to me - finished! (shouted) 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 vengenance. I will have salvation. (shouted) Who sir, you sir? No one in the chair, come on! Come on! Sweeney's waiting. I want you bleeders. You sir - anybody. Gentlemen don't be shy! Not one man, no, no ten men. Not 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 dishonorable 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!
