The butcher comes to Sweeney for a shave. For free, of course, because he owns this house. Letting his guard off in the barbershop chair, he brags that he got this house gratis by his friendship with the judge. And so Sweeney realizes, who wrote the fake objections many years ago. The razor freezes in his hand, right before the butchers throat
[Duet of Todd and the butcher]
[Todd]: What will you remember
Before you leave this world forever?
Maybe you loved someone?
Or someone loved you?
Or do butchers remember
Only bloody pieces?
Or do executors dream of
Only their victims?
[Butcher]: For God's sake, take anything you want to!
[Todd]: *laughs*
What will you remember in your last moments?
Maybe you saved a kitty once?
[Butcher]: I beg you, I don't know
[Todd]: Or will you remember
The song that your mother used to sing you?
[Butcher]: I don't know, I beg you
[Todd]:Or do butchers remember
Only bloody pieces?
Or do executors dream of
Only their victims?
[Butcher]: For God's sake, take anything you want to!
[Todd]: Maybe you'll remember your childhood dream
Where you rise into the sky
[Butcher]: I beg you, I don't know
[Todd]: Or at your last hour,
Will you remember the color of your favorite eyes?
[Butcher]: I don't know, I beg you
[Todd]:Or do butchers remember
Only bloody pieces?
Or do executors dream of
Only their victims?
[Butcher]: For my life's sake, take anything you want!
[Todd]: Can you bring back my wife and my daughter?!
One slight movement, and a fountain of blood bursts to the ceiling! Oh God!
