- You can't...

Wha...? What don't I mean?

I'm through. Forget it.

- Kaput.

- You can't.

Kaput! Extinct. I'm closing

this God-and-customer-forsaken place.

- Ah.

- Mr. Mushnik...

...forgive me for saying so, sir,

but has it ever occurred to you...

...that maybe what the firm needs

is to move in a new direction?

Uh, what Seymour's trying to say is...

Uh, Seymour,

why don't you run downstairs and bring up...

...that strange and interesting new plant

you've been working on?

You see, Mr. Mushnik...

...some of those exotic plants

Seymour's been tinkering around with...

...are really unusual.

And we thought maybe some of

those strange and interesting new plants...

...prominently displayed and advertised,

would attract business.

I'm afraid it isn't feeling very well today.

There. Now, isn't that bizarre?

At least.

What kind of a weirdo plant is that, Seymour?

I don't know.

I think it's some kind of flytrap...

...but I haven't been able to identify it

in any of my books.

I gave it my own name though.

I call it an Audrey II.

- After me?

- I hope you don't mind.

You see, sir, if you were to put a strange

and interesting plant like this...

...here in the window, then maybe...

Maybe what? Maybe what?

Do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound?

Just because you put a strange

and interesting plant...

...in the window, people don't suddenly...

Excuse me. I couldn't help noticing

that strange and interesting plant.

- What is it?

- It's an Audrey II.

- I've never seen anything like it before.

- No one has.

Where did you get it?

Well...

...you remember that total eclipse of the sun

about a week ago?

Da-doo

I was walking in the wholesale

flower district that day.

CHORUS:

Shoop da-doo

And I passed by this place

where this old Chinese man...

CHORUS:

Chang da-doo

He sometimes sells

me weird and exotic cuttings...

Snip da-doo

Because he knows, you see,

that strange plants are my hobby.

Da-da-da da-da da-doo

SEYMOUR:

He didn't have anything unusual there that day.

Nope, da-doo

SEYMOUR:

So I was just about to, you know, walk on by.

Good for you

Ooh, ooh, she-shoo-bop

Shoo-bop

When suddenly,

and without warning, there was this:

CHORUS:

Total eclipse of the sun

SEYMOUR:

It got very dark.

And there was this strange humming sound

like something from another world.

CHORUS:

Da-doo

And when the light came back

this weird plant was just sitting there.

CHORUS:

Oops-ee-doo

SEYMOUR:

Just, you know, stuck in, among the zinnias.

Audrey II

SEYMOUR:

I could have sworn it hadn't been there before.

But the old Chinese man sold it to me anyways...

...for a dollar ninety-five.

Sha la la, la la la, la la la
