"Sweeney Todd: They all deserve to die. | Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why. | Because in all of the whole human race, Mrs. Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two | There's the one staying put in his proper place | And the one with his foot in the other one's face. | Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you. | No, we all deserve to die | Even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I. | Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief | For the rest of us death will be a relief | We all deserve to die."
