(Lights dim on them but remain; light rises on the JUDGE and the BEADLE, still walking together. Music continues under)
JUDGE (Strolling with BEADLE): Yes, yes, but surely the respect that she owes me as her guardian should be sufficient to kindle a more tender emotion.
BEADLE (Sings):
Excuse me, my lord.
May I request, my lord,
Permission , my lord, to speak?
Forgive me if I suggest, my lord,
Youre looking less thanyour best, my lord,
Theres powder upon your vest, my lord,
And stubble upon your cheek.
And ladies, my lord, are weak.
(Music continues)
JUDGE : Perhaps if she greets me cordially upon my return, I should give her a small gift. .
BEADLE (Winces delicately):
Ladies in their sensitivities, my lord,
Have a fragile sensibility.
When a girls emergent,
Probably its urgent
You defer to her gent-
ility, my lord.
Personal disorder cannot be ignored,
Given their genteel proclivities.
Meaning no offense, it
Happens they resents it,
Ladies in their sensit-
ivities, my lord.
JUDGE (Feeling his chin): Stubble, you say? Perhaps at times I am a little overhasty with my morning ablutions . .
BEADLE:
Fret not though, my lord,
I know a place, my lord,
A barber, my lord, of skill.
Thus armed with a shaven face, my lord,
Some eau de cologne to grace my lord
And musk to enhance the chase, my lord,
Youll dazzle the girl until
She bows to your every will.
JUDGE: That may well be so.
(They have reached the JUDGE s house)
BEADLE: Well, here we are, sir. I bid you good day.
JUDGE: Good day.
(He muses, turns)
And where is this miraculous barber?
BEADLE: In Fleet Street, sir.
JUDGE: Perhaps you may be right. Take me to him.
( They start off. Light up on JOHANNA s room. JOHANNA and ANTHONY get up from a couch)
BEADLE (Sings):
The name is TODD ...
JUDGE:
Todd, eh?
ANTHONY:
Wed best not wait until Monday
JOHANNA:
Sir, I concur,
And fully, too.
BEADLE:
Sweeney TODD.
ANTHONY:
It isnt right.
Wed best be married on Sunday.
JOHANNA:
Saturday, sir,
Would also do.
ANTHONY:
Or else tonight.
(The JUDGE and the BEADLE move past the house)
JOHANNA:
I think I heard a noise.
ANTHONY:
Fear not.
JOHANNA:
I mean another noise!
ANTHONY:
Like what?
JOHANNA:
Oh, never mind,
Just a noise
Just another noise,
Something in the street,
Im a silly little
Ninnynoddle —
ANTHONY:

Its a noise,
Just another noise,
Something in the street,

JOHANNA:

JOHANNA:

JOHANNA:

What will I care
What things I lack?
ANTHONY:

JOHANNA :
Ill take my reticule.
I need my reticule.
You mustnt think
Me a fool
But my reticule
Never leaves my side,
Its the only thing
My mother gave me —
Kiss me!
Kiss me!
Well go there,
Kiss me!
We have a place where we can
ANTHONY:
Why take your reticule?
Well buy a reticule.
Id never think
You a fool,
But a reticule —
Leave it all aside
And begin again and
Kiss me!
I know a place where we can go
Tonight.
Kiss me!
We have a place where we can
Go... Go tonight.
