"well sir quite frankly it's about data what if the data we all know and love is gone ?." diana asked
"I have had these thoughts as well as you may well all ready know." The half betaziod nodded
" but I think that data is just lost in his own mind I mean we still don't know fully how datas mind operates and he could be just shut down and being stored in in the back some were just waiting to be woken up again ."
"maybe captian."
…..
the door to mrs Lovett's pie shop flew open the bell nearly knocked of it's screws in was antony panting and raving about some girl. "Mr Todd you have to help me sir there's this girl she's a shy and lonely girl she's kept locked up like a prisoner." Sweeny interrupted him "calm down my boy take a deep breath count to ten and then slowly tell me what's wrong."
"there's this girl mister Todd she's beautiful ,she's shy and lonely by the looks of her, she s kept locked up by this horrible men he keeps her like a prisoner, she dropped this key out the window at my feet so it proves Joanna wants me to rescue her"
"Joanna ?" Sweeny asked
"that's her name sir but I need some where to keep her till the coach arrives ."
"is see kept locked up by judge turpin by any chance?" Sweeny asked
"yes sir how do you know?"
"never mind that now, rescue your fair maiden bring her here where she can stay until you bring her ,her carriage to Whisk her away off into the sunset." Sweeny said
"thank you mr Todd surely there isn't a more gracious or generous a man as you in all of London sir ."
that's very kind of you antony know go rescue your woman there isn't much time ."
antony rushed out the door mrs Lovett had placed a drink of gin on the table and Sweeny took a seat then asked "Now how do I find the judge?" as he took a swig of gin
"follow me it should be about time now." The two of them left the shop it had been a funny couple of days yesterday had saw mr Todd come back to his old house and meet mrs Lovett. Wanting revenge for what had happened to him and he found that his wife has died and his daughter is held captive by the judge who had sent him away all those years ago .today he was on his Sweeny Todd followed mrs Lovett to a marked full of stalls selling allsorts and a big one caught his eye it said mr Pirelli.
"the beadle Bamford hangs around here this time of day." A fan fare blared and a kid came out banging a drum
"Ladies and gentlemen!
May I have your attention, please!
Do you wake every morning in shame and despair,
to discover your pillow is covered with hair,
or what not should be there?
Well, ladies and gentlemen,
From now on you can waken at ease!
You need never again have a worry or care,
I will show you a miracle, marvelous, rare.
Gentleman, you are about to see something
wot rose from the dead!
On the top of my head
T'was Pirelli's
Miracle Elixir,
That's what did the trick, sir,
True, sir, true.
Was it quick sir?
Did it in a tick, sir,
Just like an elixir
Ought to do!
how about a bottle mister?
only costs a penny guaranteed.
Does Pirelli's
Stimulate the growth, sir?
You can have my oath, sir,
'Tis unique.
Rub a minute
Stimulatin', i'nt?
Soon you'll have to thin it
Once a week!
Sweeney Todd piped up trying to dissuade the potential mugs
"pardon me ma'm what's that awful stench?"
Mrs. Lovett also joined in with this dissuading
"are we standing near an open drench?"
the kid tried his best to keep the potential customers interested
"Buy Pirelli's
Miracle Elixir
anything will slick, sir, suits brass, curls
Try Pirelli's
when they see how thick, sir
you can have your pick, sir,
of the girls!
Wanna buy a bottle misses?
Sweeney Todd recived a bottle of the so called elixir and said loudly
"What is this?"
Mrs. Lovett repeated Todd's question
"What is this?"
Sweeney Todd opened the top he sniffed and said
"Smells like piss"
Mrs. Lovett smelled and repeated mr Todd's statement
"Smells like, ew!"
mr todd announced his discovery
"looks like piss this is piss. piss with ink"
Mrs. Lovett said to people by her
"I wouldn't touch it if I was you, dear"
the kid tried again to keep the crowd interested and a way from the gentleman and lady telling the truth
"Let pirelli's activate your roots, sir"
Sweeney Todd carried on his onslaught
"keep it off your boots, sir, eats right through"
The boy tryed a rebuttal
"you're scared Pirelli's is ustable and of it,
ladies seem to love it"
Mrs. Lovett said to the crowd
"Flies do too."
A man flamboyantly dressed steps out and begins to sing
"I am Adolfo Pirelli
Da king of da barbers
Da barber of kings
E Buon Giorno, good day
I blow you a kiss
And I, da so famous Pirelli
I wish-a to know-a who has-a the nerve-a to say
My elixir is piss!
Who says this?
Sweeny Todd piped up and moved forward in the crowd and confront him face to face
"I do. I'm Mr. Sweeney Todd from Fleet Street. I have opened a bottle of Pirelli's Elixir and I say to you, it is nothing but
an arrant fraud, concocted from piss and ink. Furthermore, Signor, I have serviced no kings,yet I wager that I can shave a
cheek with ten times more dexterity than any street mountebank. You see these razors" Sweeny Todd turned to show the crowd "I wager these against five pounds that you are no match sir. Either accept my challenge or reveal your self to be a fraud."
PIRELLI spoke to the crowd
"You hear dis foolish man? Now please you will see how he will regret his folly!" as he said this he twirled his cape around and threw it behind him
TODD spoke to the crowd now
"Who's for a free shave? Will Beadle Bamford be the judge?"
BAMFORD spoke
"Glad, as always to oblige my friends and neighbours! The fastest, smoothest shave, is the winner!"
pirelli got his young assistant and go him to hold the leather sharpener for his razor and started quickly sharpening his blade slicing into the kids hand with each downward stroke, mr todd just slowly sharpened his razor checking it every so often
PIRELLI saterted to sing
"Now signorini, signori
We mix-a da lather
But first-a you gather"
mr pirelli quickly shoved soap lather on to the mans face
"Around signorini, signori
You looking a man
Who had-a da glory
To shave-a da pope"
todd was still sharpening his razor
"Misterr Sweeney, whoever
I beg-a da pardon
You'll probably say-a it was only a cardinal
Nope!
It was-a da pope!
To shave-a da face
To cut-a da hair
Require a grace
Require da flare
For if-a you slip
You nick da skin
You clip-a da chin
You rip-a da lip a bit beyond-a repair
sweeny todd polished his razor blade on the edge of the cuff of his jacket
"To shave-a da face
Or even a part
Widout it-a smart
Require da heart
Not just-a da flash
It take-a Panash
It take-a da passion for da art"
sweeny todd applied the soap lather to the guys face
"To shave-a da face
To trim-a da beard
To make-a da bristle
Clean like a whistle
Dis is from early infancy
Da talent give to me by God
It take-a da skill
It take-a da brains
It take-a da will
To take-a da pains
It take-a da pace
It take-a da grace"
as mr Pirelli held this note Sweeny Todd made about five moves with his razor and he was finished beadle BAMFORD said
"The winner--is Todd!"
mr pirelli turned and bowed to sweeny todd and said " I bow to a skill far grater than my own."
Sweeny Todd just stood still and said " the five pounds."
Sweeny Todd stepped down the steps of the stand mr pirelli kicked the kid into the area behind the Curtain and preceded to beat him
Mrs Lovett gave Sweeny back his long black coat as a well to do about himself man came up and spoke to Sweeny "arh mr todd you very skilled with a knife to you have your own astablisment?"
"he sure does ." mrs Lovett said " mr Sweeny Todd's gents barber shop it's above my meat pie emporium in fleet street"
"well be sure to see me there some time"
"it would be a pleasure sir" Sweeny Todd said to him and then he spotted the beadle "I would like to thank you for judging the contest you are a wise and passive judge."
Always glad to oblige my friends and neighbours, your premises are in fleet street yes?"
" that is correct sir above mrs Lovett's pie shop ."
" well then be sure to see me there before the week is out."
" it would be a pleasure and when you do I can guarantee with out a penny's charge the closest shave you'll ever know ." the beadle smiled that cruel smile of his that is created by his thin lips
….
councillor troy came into the captains ready room and proseeded to speak to picard "Captian I've just gone over the holo programme for sweeny todd and …."
" what is it councillor?" picard asked
" the computer has cast you as judge turpin and me as mrs Lovett ." the concuillor replied
"whats you point councillor ?" picard asked again getting a little Impatiencent
" my point captian is that if he dose finish the story and comes out of the story still as sweeny todd well he's not going to know the diffence and frankly capitain we both know what happens to our characters at the end of the story ." councillor troy said and captain picard got what the half betaziod was on about
"yes I see councillor we must find away to stop him completing the story or at least the original story." the captain said
"captain what do you mean ?" it was diana's turn to ask the questions
"if we could some how get you into the holo deck and have you take on the role of mrs Lovett delete the holo character of her and then convince him some how not to kill your character off and get data back." the captain was saing
" but me captain?" diana asked butting in
" it has to be you I can't be me my character has to die ." picard said
"I see captain ." diana said acepting his desision
"I'll get jordie to look into it right away ." the captain said and with that the councillor left the room
….
It's not much of a chair but it'll do. Was was me poor Albert's chair. Sat in it all day long he did till half his leg give
out with gout.
"Why dose the beadle not come , before the week is out that's what he said ."
"well he may do it's only Tuesday ."mrs Lovett broke into song
"Easy now,
Hush, love, hush,
Don't distress yourself,
What's your rush?
Keep your thoughts
Nice and lush,
Wait.
Hush, love, hush,
Think it through.
Once it bubbles, then
What's to do?
Watch it close.
Let it brew.
Wait.
I've been thinkin' flowers,
Maybe daisies,
To brighten up the room!
Don't you think some flowers,
Pretty daisies,
Might relieve the gloom?
Ah, wait,
Love, wait."
Sweeney Todd asked
And the judge? When will I get to him?
Mrs. Lovett answered
Can't you think of nothin' else?
Always broodin' away on your wrongs
what happened heaven knows how many years ago!
"Slow, love, slow.
Time's so fast.
Now goes quickly, see
Now it's past!
Soon will come,
Soon will last.
Wait.
Don't you know,
Silly man?
Half the fun is to
Plan the plan!
All good things
Come to those who can
Wait."
Gillyflowers, maybe, 'Stead of daisies...I dunno though...What do you think?" Sweeny moved to the window and saw Mr Pirelli coming through the archway out side and he was heading for the shop. " hello what's he doing here?"Mrs Lovett asked stepping next to Sweeny
"I'll find out keep the boy down stairs ."
" alright." Mrs Lovett walked out side and down the steps
"Sonora is mr Todd around ?"
"Yeah his up stairs oh but look at him," mrs Lovett said nodding to the boy "do you mind If I give him a nice meat pie?"
"si, si what ever you want." Mr Pirelli went up the stairs and in to the shop of Sweeny Todd "mr Todd ."
"mr Pirelli ."Sweeny said and Pirelli dropped his Italian accent
"call me Davey. Davey Collins is the name when it's not professional ." Sweeny looked puzzled "and I'll be having my five pounds back if you don't mind."
"on what grounds ?"
"on the ground that you entered our bet under false circumstances, you don't recognise me do you? I didn't recognise you myself tell you the truth but I remember these." Davey said holding one of Sweeny Todd's razors " then it came to me . I used to sit right here." He said sitting down " watching you work with dreams of be coming a barber myself, Benjamin barker so form now on I'll be taking half your earnings unless of course you want me to go and inform the beadle, what do you say now" he put his Italian accent back on "mr Sweeny Todd ha ha hah ha ha ha" sweeny went mad and bashed mr Pirelli's head in with the iron kettle he then hid his body in a trunk then he heard movement and a raised voice so he moved and hid his slightly bloody sleave pouring a drink then the door burst open the kid toby rushed in speking quickly "mr pirelli you've got an appointment ."
"mr Pirellis been called away."Sweeny told the lad
" oh well I'd better stay here and wait for him to come back." toby said resting against the cest by the door
" why don't you wait down stairs ?" Seeny asked noticing pirellis hand sticking out the cest that he had been put in not two moments ago
" no I'd best stay here ." toby said not wanting to get into any trouble he moved along the cest towards pirellis hand
" I understand it that mrs Lovett has given you a pie ."Sweety said to toby
" yes sir she's a real lady." toby answered
"That she is, now if I know growing boys there's always room for more pie" Sweeny said to toby trying to encourage the boy to leave the shop and go back down stairs
"Yes sir ,but I'd best stay here other wise it will be a lashing he's a right one with the lashings." toby said thoughtfuly
"Tell you what why don't you go down and tell mrs Lovett that I said you could have a nice big tot of gin." sweeny said as a last ditch attempt to get shot of the boy, The boy gasped
"Thank you sir" the boy ran out the door and down the stairs . Sweeny Todd walked over to the chest opened the chest and mr Pirelli was coming to and Sweeny grabbed his hair and ran his razor over his throat slicing it and mr Pirelli slid back into the chest.
As he did the door to the shop opened that boy's drinking me out of house and home when's mr Pirelli coming back?" mrs Lovett asked
"he wont be coming back mr Todd said and then mrs Lovett noticed the blood stain, the stain had gotten noticeably bigger from the blood from mr Pirellis throat
"you've gone mad? Killing a man that's done you no harm"
" he recognised me from the old days tried to blackmail me wanted half my earnings"
"oh that's all right then for a moment there I thought you'd lost your marbles"
Sweeny moved to the window and saw the judge and the beadle
" the judge"
"get out, get out" mrs Lovett left the room and a few minuets later judge turpin came in
"mr Todd?"
"at you service, what an honour to receive your patronage m'lord"
"you know me ?"
"who in this wide world doesn't know the grate judge turpin."
"these premises are hardly prepossessing and yet the beadle tells me you are the most accomplished of all the barbers in the city ."
" that is gracious of him what can I do for you today a stylish friming of the hair ?or a soothing skin massage ?"
" you see sir a man infatuate with love
her ardent and egger slave
so fetch the pomade and pumis stone and lend me a more seductive tone a sprinkling perhaps of French cologne but first sir I think a shave." Judge turpin went and sat down in the chair and Sweeny said to him " the closest I ever gave." Sweeny then whistled
" in a merry mood today Mr Todd?" Sweeny sang
"tis your delight sir catcheing fire form one man to the next ." judge turpin sang also
"tis true sir love can still inspire to make the blood to pound ,the hart leap higher what more" sweeny joined in "what more can man require?" then sweeny sang on his own
"more than love sir?" judge turpin answered with a question
"what sir?" sweeny answered
"women"
"ar yes women"
"pretty women"
judge turpin started humming and sweeny whistled again after they both stopped sweeny turned to his razors and he picked one up and sang quietly
"now then my friends
now to your purpose
be patient enjoy it
revenge carn't be taken in haste."
The judge piped up just as Sweeny was about to slice his throat singing
"Make haste and if we wed you'll be commended sir."
"my lord….And who may it be said is your intended sir?"
"My ward.
And pretty as a rose bud" the judge answered
"Pretty as her mother?" Sweeny asked quietly
"Hmm? What was that?" the judge asked
Sweeney Todd said to the judge
"Nothing sir. Nothing." And started to sing again
"Pretty women
fascinating...
Sipping coffee,
Dancing...
Pretty women
Are a wonder.
Pretty women,
Sitting in the window or
Standing on the stair
Something in them chills the air.
Pretty women"
"Silhouetted..."the judge chimed in
"Stay within you," Sweeny carried on
"Glancing..." the judge and sweeny said together
"stay forever," Sweeny sang
"Breathing lightly..." the judge sang again and the song soon became a duet
"Pretty women,"
Judge Turpin and Sweeney Todd sang together alternating
"Pretty women!"
"Blowing out their candles or
Combing out their hair,"
"Combing out their hair then they leave
Even when they leave you and vanish they somehow can still can remain there with you"
"Even when they leave
They still are there.
They're there
Ah! Pretty women, "
Sweeney Todd sang on his own
"At their mirrors,"
Judge Turpin joined in again
"In their gardens,"
Sweeney Todd sang again
"Letter-writing,"
the judge sang
"Flower-picking,"
then Sweeny sang again
"Weather-watching."
Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin sang in unison
"How they make a man sing!
Proof of heaven as you're living,
Pretty women!"
"Sir!" Sweeny shouted
"pretty women!"
Sweeny shouted again "Yes!"
"pretty women,
Pretty women,
Pretty women,
Pretty women"
the door swung open it was antony he was out of breath "mr Todd I've spoken with Joanna and she has said she'd leave with me tonight" antony trailed of when he saw the judge. Sweeny sighed
"you! there is indeed no higher power that could of informed me sooner Joanna elope with you? As for you barber its clear to see what kind custom you keep service them well and keep there custom for you shall have none of mine." with that the judge slammed the door behind him as he hurried away from the shop
"mr Todd please you've got to help me" antony was pleading with him but Sweeny was getting madder with each passing second antony was in his sight
"get out."
"But mr Todd"
"OUT!" antony speed out of Sweeny's shop and a few minuets later mrs Lovett came in
