Turpin Quotes

Johanna: [after Turpin discovers her packing] Sir, a gentleman knocks before entering a lady's room.
Judge Turpin: Indeed, he does, but I see no lady. I told myself the sailor was lying, that my Johanna would never betray me, never hurt me so.
Johanna: Sir, I will leave this place.
Judge Turpin: I think that's

only appropriate since you no longer find my company to your liking.
[the Beadle appears at the door]
Judge Turpin: We shall provide you with new lodgings. Until this moment I have spared the rod. But the ungrateful child has broken my heart. When you've learned to appreciate what you have done, perhaps we shall meet again. Until then, think on your sins.
[the

Beadle takes Johanna away by force]

[Anthony runs

out, and Mrs. Lovett hurries in]

Mrs. Lovett: There, there, dear, calm down...
Sweeney Todd: No! I had him! His throat was there, and now he'll never come again!

Mrs. Lovett: [sings to calm him] Easy now. Hush, love, hush. / I keep telling you,
Sweeney Todd: *When*?

[he goes toward the window and looks at it]

Anthony Hope: [really quickly] Mr.Todd, there's a girl who needs my help. Such a sad

girl, and lonely but beautiful to and...

[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.

Anthony Hope: [to Mrs.Lovett] Thank you, ma'am.
Anthony Hope: [to Todd]
Anthony

Hope: Mr.Todd...?
