(1986 Movie)[]

Audrey II Seymour
Feed me!
Does it have to be human?
Feed me!
Does it have to be mine?!
Feed me!
Where am I supposed to get it?
Feed me, Seymour, feed me all night long!
That's right boy!
You can do it!
Feed me Seymour, feed me all night long!
'Cause if you feed me Seymour,
I can grow up, big and strong.
Would you like a Cadillac Car?
Or a guest shot on Jack Parr?
How about a date with Hedy Lamarr?
You gonna git it.
Would you like to be a big wheel,
Dinin' out for every meal?
I'm the plant that can make it all real,
You gonna git it.
I'm your genie, I'm your friend
I'm your willing slave
Take a chance, just feed me and
You know the kinda treats,
The kinda red hot sweets,
The kinda sticky licky sweets
I crave
Come on, Seymour, don't be a putz
Trust me and your life will surely rival King Tut's
Show a little 'nitiative, work up the guts
And you'll git it.
(Spoken) C'mon boy! I don't know
Light'n up! I don't know
I have so, so many strong reservations
Tell it to the marines!
Should I go and perform mutilations?
You didn't have nothin' til you met me
C'mon kid, what will it be?
Money?
Girls?
One particular girl?
How about that Audrey?
Think it over!
There must be someone you could Eighty-Six, real quiet like
And get me some lunch!
(Singing) Think about a room at the Ritz
Wrapped in velvet, covered in glitz
A little nookie gonna clean up your zits,
and you'll git it.
Now you're cookin! Gee, I'd like a Harley machine.
Toolin' around like I was James Dean
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah! Makin' all the guys at the corner turn green.
So git it!
If you wanna be profound
If you really gotta justify
Take a breath and look around,
A lotta folk deserve to die! (Spoken) Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
That's not a very nice thing to say!
(Spoken) But it's true, isn't it?
No! I don't know anybody who deserves
To get chopped up and fed to a hungry plant!
Sure you do!
ORIN AUDREY
(Spoken) Stupid Woman!
Christ, what a friggin' scatterbrain!
(Spoken) I'm sorry Doctor! I'm sorry Doctor!
Falls off the Motorcycle!
I'm clumsy Doctor!
Messes my hair!
Get the door open, you little slut!
I'm trying! I'm trying!
Get the Vitalis, quick the Vitalis!
I'm out of it!
What!? (Slaps Audrey)
AUDREY II SEYMOUR
(Sings) If you want a rationale (Sings) If you want a rationale
It isn't very hard to see It isn't very hard to see
No, no, no! No, no, no!
Stop and think it over, pal Stop and think it over, pal
The guy sure looks like plant food to me! The guy sure looks like plant food to me!
The guy sure looks like plant food to me! The guy sure looks like plant food to me!
The guy sure looks like plant food to me! The guy sure looks like plant food to me!
He's so nasty treatin' her rough!
Smackin' her around and always talkin' so tough!
You need blood and he's got more than enough!
I need blood and he's got more than enough!
I need blood and he's got more than enough! You need blood and he's got more than enough!
So go git it!

Audrey II Seymour
Sudden changes surround me,
Lady Luck came and found me,
Thanks a million, for making the magic you do.
Thanks to you sweet petunia,
Mushnik's taken a juni-ah,
And someday when I own this whole shop,
I'll remember, I'll owe it,
To you.
(Spoken) Who cares if I've been a little
on the anemic side these past few weeks?
So what if I've had a few dizzy spells,
Some light-headedness,
It's been worth it, old pal.
Goodnight, Twoey,
I'll see ya in the....
Oh boy, here we go again,
Twoey, I haven't got much left.
Look, just let me heal a few more days,
Okay? Then we'll start on the left hand again and-
(Spoken) Feed Me!
I beg your pardon?
Feed Me!
Twoey, you..you talked, you opened up your
Trap, your thing, and you said-
Feed me Krelborn, Feed Me now!
I-I can't!
I'm starving!
Oh boy, maybe I can squeeze a little more out of this one but,
I need some food!
I know, but you can't get blood from a-
Chow time, Krelborn!
Okay, okay, here you go,
Oh god! That hurts!
More! More!
But there isn't any more!
What do you want me to do?
Cut my wrists?
Hey, how about I run down to the corner,
And get you some nice, chopped sirloin?
Must be blood!
Twoey, that's disgusting.
Must be fresh!
Look, I don't wanna hear this!
(Singing) Feed me!
(Singing) Does it have to be human?
Feed me!
Does it have to be mine?!
Feed me!
Where am I supposed to get it?
Feed me, Seymour, feed me all night long!
Ha-Ha!
That's right!
You can do it!
Aw, feed me Seymour, feed me all night long!
yea, 'cause if you feed me Seymour,
I can grow up, big and strong.
(Spoken) Well, I think you're big enough, Twoey.
I don't think it's necessary for you to get
too out of hand around here.
I'm so hungry!
I could flip my lid!
Here me talkin' to ya, boy?
Said I'm so hungry, Seymour!
I could flip my big green lid.
Well, nothing, nothing's gonna relieve this.
Yeah, but if you feed me, Seymour,
I'll make you so glad you did!
Glad I did? You eat blood, Audrey II, let's face it.
How'm I supposed to keep on feeding you?
Kill people?
(Spoken) I'll make it worth your while,
What?
You think this is all coincidence, baby?
The sudden success around here?
Your adoption papers?
Look, you're a plant, an inanimate object,
Does this look inanimate to you, punk?
If I can talk, and I can move,
Who's to say I can't do anything I want?
Like what?
Like deliver, pal,
Like see you get everything,
Your secret, greasy heart desires!
(Singing) Would you like a Cadillac Car?
Or a guest shot on Jack Parr?
How about a date with Hedy Lamarr?
You gonna git it.
No thanks, Twoey,
It's very kind of you to offer, but-
Would you like to be a big wheel,
Dinin' out for every meal?
I'm the plant that can make it all real,
You gonna git it.
Goodnight, Twoey,
I will see you in the morning, I-
A piece of mind,
A piece of tail,
It's a piece of cake for me!
If you follow my instructions,
You'll be taking tax deductions!
Oh, an exclusive room at the Ritz,
Wrapped in velvet and covered in glitz,
A little nookie that'll clean up your zits
And you'll git it!
I'm your genie, I'm your friend
I'm your willing slave
Take a chance, feed me and
You know the kinda treats,
The kinda red hot sweets,
The kinda sticky licky sweets
I crave
Come on, Seymour, don't be a putz
Trust me and your life will surely rival King Tut's
Show a little 'nitiative, work up the guts
And you'll git it.
(Spoken) C'mon boy! (Singing) I don't know
Git smart, boy! I don't know
So many what? I have so,
Aw, forget about it! so many strong reservations
Should I go and perform mutilations?
(Spoken) You didn't have nothin' til you met me
C'mon, what will it be kid?
Money?
Girls?
One particular girl?
How about that Audrey?
Think it over!
There must be someone you could Eighty-Six, real quiet
And get me a little lunch!
(Singing) Think about that Cadillac car,
And a guest shot on Jack Parr,
Be a big botanical star,
If you git it!
Gee, I'd like a Harley machine.
Toolin' around like I was James Dean
Makin' all the guys at the corner turn green.
So git it!
And if you wanna be profound
If you really gotta justify
Well, take a breath and look around,
A lotta folk deserve to die! (Spoken) Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
That's not a very nice thing to say!
(Spoken) But it's true, isn't it?
No! I don't know anybody who deserves
To get chopped up and fed to a hungry plant!
Sure you do!
ORIN AUDREY
(Spoken) Stupid Woman!
Christ, what a friggin' scatterbrain!
(Spoken) I'm sorry Doctor! I'm sorry Doctor!
Now get the hell in there and pick up the goddamn sweater, you dizzy cow!
Yes, Doctor, right away, Doctor!
Hi, Seymour, I left my sweater in here before.
C'mon, move it you little slut!
How do you like that stupid dame, Seymour
Forgets her friggin' sweater!
Christ if her stupid head weren't screwed on!
Orin, that hurt!
Move it!
AUDREY II SEYMOUR
(Sings) If you want a rationale (Sings) If you want a rationale

Stop and think it over, pal Stop and think it over, pal
The guy sure looks like plant food to me! The guy sure looks like plant food to me!
The guy sure looks like plant food to me! The guy sure looks like plant food to me!

I need blood and he's got more than enough! You need blood and he's got more than enough!
So go git it!
