? did sweeney Todd ?
? the demon barber of fleet street ?
Did you write this?
- No. - Who did?
- Stephen sondheim. - Who is he?
All: ? swing your razor wide, sweeney ?
? hold it to to the skies ?
? freely flows the blood of those who moralize ?
What the hell is happening?
We are the cast of sweeney Todd:
The demon barber of fleet street.
We open in a couple of weeks at the loose screw playhouse,
Here in Scranton, and today, just doing...
[cockney accent] a wee bit of viral marketing, gov'nor!
All: ? attend the tale of sweeney Todd ?
? ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ?
? he served a dark and a vengeful God ?
All: ? he served a dark and a vengeful God ?
? ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh ?
? what happens then, well, that's the play ?
? and he wouldn't want us to give it away ?
[cast gasps]
All: ? not sweeney Todd ?
? ?
? the demon barber of fleet ?
? street ?
Wha ho ho!
[applause]
Oh, that was amazing!
That was awesome!
I auditioned for this! When did the cast list go up?
Like a month ago.
Really? They didn't call me!
Who am I playing?
Andy?

[gasps]
Two comps for m'lady and her Gabe.
It's closing night.
Tomorrow we have to give the theater over
To the Scranton's miss fitness pageant.
I am so excited, but I just need one.
Gabe can't come. Sorry.
- What? - Yeah.
That's awful. Everyone's gonna miss that guy.
Gabe is not coming, which is huge,
Because my plan is to make Erin
Fall back in love with me tonight.
Women cannot resist a man singing show tunes.
It's so powerful, even a lot of men
Can't resist a man singing show tunes.
- Oh, who else is going? - Everyone.
Gabe seemed to think no one was going.
What kind of terrible rumor monger is Gabe?
He is woefully ill informed, all right?
Excuse me,
Clink, clink, clink, clink, everybody.
You're all coming to my show tonight, right?
Andy, what time's it start?
- 8:00 P.M. Sharp. - How long is it?
- Hour, 45. - No, I can't make it.
They say that no one can take your pride,
But the people who cast Andy's play,
They took mine.
Jim, Pam, you guys are in, right?
Oh, we wanted to,
But our sitter just fell through.
I'm really sorry.
Dwight?
Uh, no, thank you.
Last time I went to the theater,
A man dressed as a cat sat on my lap.
It would mean so much to me
If you came to my show tonight.
I can't, Andy. It's too hard.
That's...
I put everything I had into that audition.
Do you understand that?
If it makes you feel any better,
No one who auditioned for the part of sweeney Todd
Got that part.
They had to bring in a ringer.
Wow.
This guy's, like, world class.
You should not feel bad.
[sighs]
I'm asking you thespian to thespian.
Will you please be the bigger man
And come to my show?
I wish I could, Andy,
But I can't.
I have plans that night.
I'm going to see a friend in a play called sweeney Todd.
You're that friend.
I'm going to see your play.
[laughs]
Noishe!
And scene.
Listen, I would like you to take me to Andy's play tonight.
Please, waste of time.
You know what? Let's just knock this out right now.
Disrobe.
Angela? Don't like her anymore.
Not attracted to her anymore.
Just contractually obligated to make a baby with her.
Give me the punch card.
No. If you want to punch the punch card,
You have to take me to the show.
That is not in the contract.
Well, there's a lot of gray area in that clause.
Do you want to re-mediate?
All right, fine!
I'll go to your little show,
But I'm not wearing a cape. Thank you.
Dwight and I have a contractual agreement
To procreate five times, plain and simple.
And should he develop feelings for me?
Well, that would be permissible
Under item 7c, clause 2, so I would not object.
Hey. How are those salads?
It's my own fault...
My parents used to scramble to find babysitters
So they could take my little brother to do stuff.
I understand how hard it can be.
I just... tonight, I mean, if you could...
We'll keep looking.
- Yes! - Really?
I mean, who knows?
Maybe I have a niece my family never told me about.
Oh, my gosh, that would be amazing.
- Yeah. - For a lot of reasons.
Yeah, I know.
Neiche!
Oh, hey, guys.
You brought balloons to a play?
I did, because I am being the bigger man,
And balloons are bigger than flowers.
It's nice, like up.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Are you the guy that did an entire law & order episode
For his audition?
Nope.
- Guys? - Hey!
- Andy! - Hey!
You all made it. Thank you so much.
You should actually thank Erin.
She's the one who agreed to babysit.
She's babysitting?
I really wanted to see Andy's play,
Because he's so, so talented,
But I've been trying to get in the babysitting game forever.
The 13-year-olds in this town
Have a complete monopoly.
It's almost like a babysitters' club.
I understand.
This is like...
Huge opportunity for her.
[balloons creaking]
This is ridiculous.
You'd think they'd discourage people
From bringing in balloons.
Hey, I think this guy playing sweeney Todd is my plumber.
No, Darryl.
This guy's a world-class actor.
He doesn't daylight as your plumber.
No, it's my plumber.
Says so in his bio.
Apparently, the director discovered him doing karaoke.
It's his first play. He didn't even audition.
[piano playing overture] are you kidding me?
Shh!
If we don't listen to the overture,
We won't recognize the musical themes
When they come back later.
All right, I'm sorry.
[balloons squeaking] God.
? attend the tale of sweeney Todd ?
? his skin was pale and his eye was odd ?
? he shaved the faces of gentlemen ?
? who never thereafter were heard of again ?
? he trod the path that few have trod ?
? did sweeney Todd ?
? the demon barber of fleet street ?
? ?
? he kept a shop in london town ?
Excuse me, I think you may be in the wrong seats.
? of fancy clients and good renown ?
Oooh!
? what if none of their souls were saved ?
? they went to their maker impeccably shaved ?
? by sweeney ?
? ?
? by sweeney Todd ? [balloons creaking]
? the demon barber of fleet street ?
[balloons creaking]
? I feel you ?
? johanna ?
? I feel you ?
? I was half convinced I waited ?
[whispering] I work with that guy.
? satisfied enough to dream you ?
? happily I was mistaken ?
? johanna ?
[whispering] ugh! There's gum on the seat,
And now it's on my work skirt.
I have to go change.
Too bad I'm not gonna explain anything that you miss.
Oh, Dwight, just move.
? do they think that walls can hide you ?
His name's Andy.
He's a terrible salesman.
? I am in the dark beside you ?
? buried sweetly ?
[whispering] what time is it?
? in your yellow hair ?
Michael!
Shelby Thomas weems, the director.
Hello.
I promise you
That if you keep auditioning
With a similar gusto... Okay.
We are going to find a production
With a role for Michael Scott.
- Okay. - Yes?
- Yes. - Good.
- Enjoy the second act.
- You enjoy the second act. - Have a refreshment.
Thank you. You, too.
Oh, thank you, thank you.
Come on, Dwight.
Why are you dressed like a seed catalog model?
These are just my dirty old gardening clothes.
They were all that I had in my car.
Let's go.
Hey, Erin, it's Pam.
Hey, how you doin...
No, no, don't put cece on the phone,
Because she can't talk yet.
Okay. No, I was just calling to see how everything's going.
Yeah? Yeah? It's good?
The play?
The play is kind of great.
I mean, it's fun to hear Andy sing
In the appropriate setting.
No, he's really sorry you couldn't make it, too.
Yeah.
So thank you so much again.
We're having a great time.
Oh, they're flashing the lights,
So we should go in.
Thanks. Bye.
Okay, so we called, and everything's fine.
- Everything's fine. - We can relax.
We can relax. Let's get our sweeney on.
- ? then I go walking with you-hoo ?
? you-hoo ?
? I warm me bones on the esplanade ?
? have tea and scones with me gay young blade ?
[whispers] Michael!
? and I'll knit a sweater ?
? while you write a letter ?
? unless we got better to do-hoo ?
Anything you say.
? think how snug it'll be underneath the flannel ?
? when it's just you and me ?
? and the English channel ?
? in our cozy retreat, kept all neat and tidy ?
? we'll have chums over every Friday ?
? by the sea ? ? anything you say ?
? don't you love the weather ?
? by the sea ? just checking my emails.
See if I got any last-minute "break a legs"
Or "I still love you" type texts.
- ? by the seaside, ooh-hoo ?
Doesn't look like I got anything.
Maybe on my facebook wall.
[sustaining note]
- Unfortunately, in this ham-fisted production
Of sweeney Todd,
The real terror comes from the vocal performances.
New paragraph.
Mr. Todd! Mr. Todd! I found her!
You found johanna.
That monster of a judge
Has locked her... [cell phone chiming]
[chiming]
Locked her away... [chiming]
There's a little bird uttering around.
Do hope it ceases chirping.
[laughter]
How is that funny?
[chiming] the bird continues to call.
Someone please turn off your...Bird.
[chiming]
Oh, for the love... turn your phone off!
There are signs!
Oh, it appears the bird was in mine own pocket
This whole time.
He's gone to sleep now. I closed his beak.
Mmm...[laughing alone]
What is the news of my darling daughter johanna?
[text message chimes]
You know what? Let me just double check,
Make sure that bird...
Okay, good.
It's off.
I mean, silenced.
I silenced it by killing it.
I've killed it! I'm a murderer!
Just like you, sweeney Todd!
See? It all connects.
Not that I know you're a murderer.
My character doesn't know that yet.
But I'm suspicious,
Because of all the razors
That you have laying around.
[laughing] and you spend time alone,
But you're a barber, so that'legit.
So there's that.
But...
Where is johanna?
- A madhouse. - A madhouse?
- Yes, a madhouse. - A madhouse?
Johanna is as good as rescued.
Where do you suppose
All the wig makers of london [wine bottle tips over]
Go to obtain their human hair? [bottle clanks]
Do you think... [bottle rolling across floor]
So you think... [bottle rolling]
[bottle rolling, clanking]
[bottle comes to a stop]
So you think... fogg's asylum, why not?
[pops] aah!
[balloons popping]
[baby crying]
Sounds like cece.
Okay, I think everybody just needs to relax.
[baby crying] oh, my God, go, go.
Oh, my God.
[cece crying]
That's really irresponsible of Erin.
S a ible bysitter.
I just didn't think you guys were gonna see us.
We were just gonna stop by and then get some ice cream
And then go home.
Okay, this was pretty simple.
Why are you here? [overlapping statements]
All you had to do was play with her
For, like, 30 minutes and then put her to bed.
Then we were kind of hoping
That you wouldn't touch her again.
Babies shouldn't have ice cream, by the way.
I'm sorry.
I just... I really wanted to see Andy.
You guys made it sound so unmissable,
And you set me up with a car seat and everything.
Well, the car seat was to take her to the hospital or...
But why would I take her to the hospital?
You know what, it doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Why don't I just take her home,
And let you guys finish,
And then you should stay out as late as you want.
No, we're good. Thank you, though.
- Yeah. - Thanks.
Okay. All right, bye, cece.
[giggles]
- Okay. - All right.
Well, we're never leaving the house again.
Not together.
[music playing, applause]
[loud applause]
Boo!
That was more horrifying than nunsense.
All that singing got in the way
Of some perfectly good murders.
Where's my car?
Come on.
Mmm! Fruit is so much better when it's dried.
I've already eaten, like, 30 apricots.
- Darryl? - Hey!
Didn't know you were gonna be here.
How's the toilet? Silent.
Look, congratulations. Thank you.
I had no idea.
This plumber has pipes.
Yeah, good job. Well done.
You're the guy who booed me.
Hmm?
No, there were a lot of people booing you.
I wasn't one of them.
No, I saw you,
And you were the only one.
Get your eyes checked, chucklehead.
Be cool, Michael.
I saw this guy kill a bunch of people.
Good work. Thank you.
You didn't have to boo him.
Well, he was getting a lot of applause,
And I just didn't think it was indicative
Of how people were really feeling.
How would you like it if we booed you?
That would never happen.
Boo!
- Okay. - Boo!
I appreciate the feedback.
Boo! Boo!
I don't like that at all.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Oh, I'm so scared!
Okay, kill me! Just kill me! Kill me!
- Aah! - Aah!
Ah, blood everywhere.
Oh, no.
I'm so glad we're hanging out again outside of work.
Yeah, me, too.
Okay, I kill you now.
- Okay. - All right.
All right, let's do this.
No, actually, Dwight,
I didn't realize how far this walk was,
And I... I'm exhausted.
It's okay, I smell.
No. No, no, no.
I think I just want to go home,
But it's okay.
This can count as one of your times.
No, no, no.
Contractually, we're obligated to have sex.
Well, I won't tell if you don't.
I will tell. I will tell the mediator.
What... what are you...
Oh, okay.
Oh, was that in the way? Get rid of it.
Oh. [hole punch clicks]
Good night, Dwight.
Good night.
[engine stars]
These would have been your seats.
Best seats in the house.
Lot of people think it would be the front row,
But, actually, right here,
This is where the speakers converge
And the sound just, like, nails you right here.
This is awesome.
[cell phone rings] oh.
Sorry. Oh.
Hi, Gabe.
Yeah, I just stopped by Andy's cast party
To say hi to everyone.
Oh, sure, I can pick you up some soup.
What do you want?
That's broth, Gabe.
Okay, I... I'll see you soup. [giggles]
Okay, I have to go.
Thank you so much.
This is so much fun,
And I'm really sorry that I missed your play,
But next time, I'll be there.
Or here. Right here, I promise.
Awesome.
- Okay. - See you later.
Thank you.
[cece crying]
It's like the hurt locker.
This night was a disaster.
No, it was not a disaster.
It was weird, but it wasn't a disaster.
I think we have, like, a gift bottle of irish cream.
Yeah?
We could put that in orange juice.
- Get it. - Yeah?
- Let's get our juice on. - Yeah.
[to rhythm of who let the dogs out] ruh ruh ruh ruh-ruh.
Found him.
Hey, what's going on here?
Post-show blues?
Yeah, I guess you could say that.
Yeah, I get those every day after work.
Your show was really great, Andy.
Interesting subject matter.
I'm surprised you pulled it off.
It was like amateur hour.
It was an amateur production, technically.
Oscar, enough with the sass, please!
God! What is wrong with you?
Andy, listen to me.
Look me in the eye.
I thought that you were awesome.
Stop just saying that.
I am not just saying that.
You can trust that I am telling you the truth.
I booed someone tonight.
I have no filter.
And if I thought you were terrible, I would have booed.
And if I thought you had done a better job,
I would be saying nicer things right now.
But I thought that you were exactly awesome.
No better, no worse.
Thank you. That feels good.
I did not say that to make you feel good.
I just said it.
Total integrity.
Andy, sing us another song.
Thanks, but I feel like a loner right now.
Oh, come on, Andy. You were the highlight.
Come on, Andy, seriously.
Andy! Andy! Andy!
Andy! Andy!
Okay, all right, all right, all right.
? I try to say good-bye and I choke ?
? try to walk away and I stumble ?
? though I try to hide it, it's clear ?
? my world crumbles when you are not here ?
? I play it off, but I'm dreaming of you ?
? I keep my cool, but I'm fiending ?
? I try to say good-bye and I choke ?
All: ? try to walk away and I stumble ?

? my world ?
? it crumbles ?
