 Sweeney Todd:
Noooooo! Would no one have mercy on her?
Mrs. Lovett:
So it's you. Benjamin Barker

She poisoned herself, arsenic from the apothecary round the corner, I tried to stop her, but she wouldn't listen to me, and he's got your daughter.
Sweeney Todd:
He? Judge Turpin?
Mrs. Lovett:
[nods] Adopted her like his own.
Sweeney Todd:
15 years sweating, and living hell, for a false charge. 15 years dreaming I might come home to a wife and child.
Mrs. Lovett:
Well, I can't say the years have been particularly kind to you, Mr. Barker.
Sweeney Todd:
No, not Barker. That man is dead. It's Todd now. Sweeney Todd... and he will have his revenge.

Bring her 'ere, love.
Anthony Hope:
[to Mrs.Lovett] Thank you, ma'am.
Anthony Hope:
