Anthony Hope:
[comes rushing in looking for Sweeney only to see Mrs.Lovett] Oh, I'm sorry. Excuse me...
Mrs. Lovett:
Mrs.Lovett, son.
Anthony Hope:
A pleasure, ma'am. [he finally see's Sweeney]
Anthony Hope:
[really quickly] Mr.Todd, there's a girl who needs my help. Such a sad girl, and lonely but beautiful to and...
Sweeney Todd:
[he leads Antony to a chair] Slow down, son.
Anthony Hope:
[sits down] Yes, I'm sorry. This girl has a guardian who keeps her locked away, but then this morning she dropped this [holds up a key]
Anthony Hope:
surely a sign that Johanna wants me to help her. That's her name, Johanna, and Turpin is her guardian. He's a judge of some sort. Once he goes to court, I'm going to skip into the house, release her, and beg her to come away with me tonight!
Mrs. Lovett:
Oh, this is very romantic.
Anthony Hope:
[he turns to Mrs.Lovett] Yes. [he turns back to Todd]
Anthony Hope:
But I don't know anyone in London, you see, and I need somewhere safe to bring her until I've hired a coach to take us away. If I could keep her just for an hour or two, I'd be forever in your debt.
Mrs. Lovett:
Bring her 'ere, love.
Anthony Hope:
[to Mrs.Lovett] Thank you, ma'am.
Anthony Hope:
[to Todd]
Anthony Hope:
Mr.Todd...?
Sweeney Todd:
[Sweeney can only nod in agreement]
