During the execution Sweeney comes to the square, waiting for the right moment to strike. He takes out his razor, but someone stops him, it's Lovett. Somewhere in the past, when she was a little girl, she fell in love with the young barber, she was the only one who recognized him. She doesn't want him to go behind bars again.
In an attic above Lovetts bakery, Sweeney opens his barbershop, and for a while he only shaves his clients. But one day, the butcher, Lovetts uncle, shows up with an enormous mincer, that can fit a whole sheep.
[Duet of the butcher and Lovett],
[Butcher]: The new era, age of machines
It has reached incredible heights
(Technicall progress)
[Lovett]: Let's see, let's see
What is this thing?
[Butcher]: My new purchase, it's a mincer
(A wonder of all wonders)
Slices the meat
Cuts the veins
Shreds the bone
This is how good it's performance is
(Slices, cuts, shreds)
[Butcher]: We will place this aggregate in the kitchen
[Lovett]: It's pretty useless if the meat rots anyways
(Chemical process)
[Butchers]: Science and progress
Bring me the cash
[Lovett]: Let's try moving it to the basement
(A wonder of all wonders)
Slices the meat
Cuts the veins
Shreds the bone
This is how good it's performance is
(Slices, cuts, shreds)
(Slices, cuts, shreds)
[Lovett]: Ya heard? Progress, as if!
And I'm to turn the handle!
You could've gotten a monkey to do that
(Such horrible stress)
[Butcher]: Not even a butcher with ten mincers can mince all that this woman said! {To "mince with your tongue" is one of ways to say "talking too much" in russian}
(A wonder of all wonders)
Slices the meat
Cuts the veins
Shreds the bone
This is how good it's performance is
(Slices, cuts, shreds)
