There he is girls! I found him! There's Seymour!

Seymour, ooh, Seymour!

Seymour, can we have your autograph?

We saw you on the Channel Five News!

You looked so handsome!

And you gonna be soooo rich!

Please girls, not now

Is it 1 Audrey Two is Grand Marshal for the Rose Bowl?

Is it 1 the shop is decorating the Senior Prom?

Yes, it's all 1. Now, please

There's another big hotshot lookin' for you, Seymour.

From uptown. He's been askin' all over,

where can he find you?

You're famous, Seymour

Is this him?

That's him, Mr. Bernstein

Thank you, girls. Seymour Krelborn!

Sweetie, honey, baby, pussycats!

Do I know you?

Of course not, but are you gonna be happy when you do!

Seymour...Sweetheart...

Dollface...Bubbelah...

Hey, Seymour Krelborn, you prince you

My name is Bernstein

I'm with NBC

I came down here to convince you

To do a weekly T.V. show for me

"Seymour Krelborn's gardening tips"

For half an hour on Sundays, at four

T.V's first home gardening program

You'll make a mint and our ratings will soar!

They say the meek shall inherit

You know the book doesn't lie

It's not a question of merit

It's not demand and supply

They say the meek gonna get it

And you're a meek little guy

You know the meek are gonna get

What's comin' to 'em

By and by

Your own T.V. show!

Coast to coast!

Your name in lights!

Your face on screens!

Sign it!

Sign it!

Sign that contract!

Isn't it exciting?

Here he is, Mrs. Luce!

We found him! He's right here!

Look, girls, I don't wanna see anybody else today

My darling, my precious, my sweet, sweet thing.

So delighted to make your acquaintance

Cutie...Sweetness...

Seymour...Babydoll...

I'd like a word with you, lover

I'm sure you know me

The editor's wife

We want your face on the cover

Of the December third issue of life

Yes, the front of life magazine

Now that's an honor we so seldom grant

We'll send someone down, let's say Thursday

For shots of you and your beautiful plant

They say the meek shall inherit

You know the book doesn't lie

It's not a question of merit

It's not demand and supply

They say the meek gonna get it

And you're a meek little guy

You know the meek are gonna get

What's comin' to 'em

By and by

Life Magazine? Oh my goodness, Seymour!

You're gonna make it straight to the top!

How did you do it?

Here he is, sir! The incredible Seymour Krelborn!

Owner of the fabulous Audrey Two.

America's most amazing - and largest - unidentified plant

Ooooh, so this is Seymour Kramhorn?

We've been trying to reach you, baby.

Have your phones been busy!

Did you get our telegram?

I don't think so

Well, it's a good thing I came down in person then.

Pleased to meet you, kid. Skip Snip. William Morris Agency

Forget the cable we sent you

It's nice to meet me, the pleasure is yours

Now let my firm represent you

We want to book you on lecturing tours

College campus, rotary clubs-

The kinda bookings my office can do-

Show the plant, then talk, answer questions

It's educational, lucrative too

My future's starting

I've got to let it

Stick with that plant and gee

My bank account will thrive

What am I saying?

No way, forget it!

It's much too dangerous to keep the plant alive!

I take these offers

That means more killing

Who knew success would come with messy, nasty strings?

I sign these contracts

That means I'm willing

To keep on doing bloody, awful, evil things!

No! No! There's only so far you can bend!

No! No! This nightmare must come to an end!

No! No!

You've got no alternative

Seymour old boy

Though it means you'll be broke again

And unemployed

It's the only solution

It can't be avoided

The vegetable must be destroyed!

But then...

There's Audrey

Lovely Audrey

If life were tawdry and impoverished as before

She might not like me

She might not want me

Without my plant, she might not love me any more!

(They say the meek shall inherit)

Where do I sign?

(You know the book doesn't lie)

Right on the line

(It's not a question of merit)

That'll do fine

(It's not demand and supply)

This copy's mine

(You'll make a fortune, we swear it)

Couldn't go wrong

(If on this fact you rely-)

You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em!

You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em!

You know the meek are gonna get what's comin' to 'em!

By and by!
