AUDREY: Mr Mushnik, we were both thinking that maybe some of Seymour’s strange and interesting plants would
attract business.
SEYMOUR: I’m afraid it isn’t feeling very well today.
MUSHNIK: What kind of weirdo plant is that Seymour?
SEYMOUR: I don’t know. I haven’t been able to identify it. So I gave it my own name. I call it an Audrey Two.
AUDREY: After me?
SEYMOUR: I hope you don’t mind. You see sir, if you put a strange and interesting plant like this, here in the window,
maybe –
MUSHNIK: Maybe what? Just because you put a strange and interesting plant in a window, people don’t suddenly…
CUSTOMER: Excuse me. I couldn’t help noticing that strange and interesting plant. What is it?
AUDREY: It’s an Audrey Two
CUSTOMER: I’ve never seen anything like it before
Yes sir. That is one strange and interesting plant.
MUSHNIK: I’d never have believed it. My friends, I’m taking us to dinner!
AUDREY: Oh, I’d love to, Mr Mushnik, but I have a date.
MUSHNIK: With the same nogoodnik?
AUDREY: He’s a rebel Mr Mushnik. But he makes good money. And besides… he’s the only fella I’ve got. Enjoy
dinner. Goodnight Seymour.
SEYMOUR: Goodnight
Hey! You’re opening up! Well, I guess a few drops couldn’t hurt.

SEYMOUR: You eat blood, Audrey Two. Let’s face it. How’m I supposed to keep feeding you? Kill people?
PLANT: I’ll make it worth your while.
SEYMOUR: What?
PLANT: You think this is all coincidence? The sudden success around here?
SEYMOUR: Look, you’re a plant. An inanimate object.
PLANT: Does this look inanimate to you punk? If I can talk and I can move, who’s to say I can’t do
