TODD
"Don't I know you?" she said . . . You knew she lived.
MRS. LOVETT: I was only thinking of you!
TODD : You lied to me.
MRS. LOVETT:
No, no, not lied at all.
No, I never lied.
TODD :
Lucy...
MRS. LOVETT:
Said she took the poison — she did —
Never said that she died —
Poor thing,
She lived —
TODD: [bad word] home again . . .
MRS. LOVETT:
But it left her weak in the head,
All she did for months was just lie there in bed —
TODD:
Lucy. . .
MRS. LOVETT:
Should've been in hospital,
Wound up in Bedlam instead,
Poor thing!
TODD:
Oh, my God . . .
MRS. LOVETT:
Better you should think she was dead.
Yes, I lied 'cos I love you!
TODD:
Lucy...
MRS. LOVETT:
I'd be twice the wife she was!
I love you!

Like me?
TODD:

Can we still be

The history of the world, my pet —
MRS. LOVETT:
Oh, Mr. Todd,
Ooh, Mr. Todd,
Leave it to me .. .
TODD:
Is learn forgiveness and try to forget.
MRS. LOVETT:

By the sea, Mr. Todd,
Where there's no one nosy ...
TODD:

So let's keep living it — !
BOTH:
Just keep living it,
Really living it — !
