[CRYSTAL]Life Magazine? Oh my goodness, Seymour!
Youre gonna make it straight to the top!
[CHIFFON] How did you do it?
[RONETTE]Here he is, sir! The incredible Seymour Krelborn!
Owner of the fabulous Audrey Two.
Americas most amazing - and largest - unidentified plant
[SNIP]Ooooh, so this is Seymour Kramhorn?
Weve been trying to reach you, baby.
Have your phones been busy!
Did you get our telegram?
[SEYMOUR]I dont think so
[SNIP]Well, its a good thing I came down in person then.
Pleased to meet you, kid. Skip Snip. William Morris Agency
Forget the cable we sent you
Its nice to meet me, the pleasure is yours
Now let my firm represent you
We want to book you on lecturing tours
College campus, rotary clubs-
The kinda bookings my office can do-
Show the plant, then talk, answer questions
Its educational, lucrative too
[SEYMOUR]My futures starting
Ive got to let it
Stick with that plant and gee
My bank account will thrive
What am I saying?
No way, forget it!
Its much too dangerous to keep the plant alive!
I take these offers
That means more killing
Who knew success would come with messy, nasty strings?
I sign these contracts
That means Im willing
To keep on doing bloody, awful, evil things!
No! No! Theres only so far you can bend!
No! No! This nightmare must come to an end!
No! No!
Youve got no alternative
Seymour old boy
Though it means youll be broke again
And unemployed
Its the only solution
It cant be avoided
The vegetable must be destroyed!
But then...
Theres Audrey
Lovely Audrey
If life were tawdry and impoverished as before
She might not like me
She might not want me
Without my plant, she might not love me any more!
(They say the meek shall inherit)
Where do I sign?
(You know the book doesnt lie)
[SNIP]Right on the line
(Its not a question of merit)
[SNIP]Thatll do fine
(Its not demand and supply)
[SNIP]This copys mine
(Youll make a fortune, we swear it)
[SNIP]Couldnt go wrong
(If on this fact you rely-)
You know the meek are gonna get whats comin to em!
You know the meek are gonna get whats comin to em!
You know the meek are gonna get whats comin to em!
By and by!
