Final Scene

[TODD, spoken]
Oh no!
Oh God... "Don't I know you?" she said…

You knew she lived. From the first moment I walked into your shop you knew my Lucy lived!

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

[TODD]
Lucy

[MRS. LOVETT, spoken]
Your Lucy! A crazy hag picking bones and rotten spuds out of alley ash cans
Would, would you have wanted to know that was all that was left of her?

[TODD]
You lied to me!

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

[TODD]
Lucy…

[MRS. LOVETT, TODD]
Said she took the poison—she did!
Never said that she died
Poor thing! (I've come home again)
She lived—

[MRS. LOVETT]
But it left her weak in the head
All she did for months was just lie therе in bed—

[TODD]
Lucy...

[MRS. LOVETT]
Should've been in hospital
Wound up in Bedlam instеad
Poor thing!

[TODD]
Oh, my God...

[MRS. LOVETT, TODD]
Better you should think she was dead
Yes, I lied 'cause I love you!
I'd be twice the wife she was! (Lucy)
I love you! What have I done?…

[MRS. LOVETT]
Could that thing have cared for you like me?

[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

[MRS. LOVETT, TODD]
Do you mean it? No, come here, my love...
Everything I did
I swear I thought
Was only for the best Not a thing to fear
Believe me! My love...
Can we What’s dead
Still be Is dead
Married?

[TODD]
The history of the world, my pet—

[MRS. LOVETT]
Oh, Mr. Todd
Ooh, 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
You and me, Mr. Todd
Where there's no one nosy…

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

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

[TODD flings MRS. LOVETT into the oven and slams the door behind him. He moves back to the BEGGAR WOMAN.]
