Seymour Krelbourn [00:00:07]
So finally we meet you[00:00:08]

Photographers Thursday[00:00:18]
So get the plant ready[00:00:19]
And wear a clean shirt[00:00:20]
Just sign this release [00:00:21]
Need a pen Aren't you thrilled [00:00:22]
It's the cover of Life magazine [00:00:24]
Dessert [00:00:25]
I'm telling you son [00:00:26]
It's a cinch to get ratings[00:00:27]
The title is Marvin's [00:00:28]
The concept is mine[00:00:30]
The first weekly gardening[00:00:31]
Show on a network[00:00:32]
And you're gonna host it [00:00:34]
You lucky kid sign[00:00:35]
They say the meek shall inherit[00:00:36]
You know the book doesn't lie[00:00:38]
It's not a question of merit[00:00:41]
It's not demand and supply[00:00:43]
They say the meek gonna get it[00:00:46]
And you're a meek little guy[00:00:48]
You know the meek are gonna get[00:00:50]
What's comin' to 'em by and by[00:00:53]
My future's starting[00:00:56]
I've got to let it[00:00:59]
Stick with that plant and gee [00:01:01]
My bank account will thrive[00:01:03]
What am I saying No way [00:01:05]
Forget it [00:01:09]
It's much too dangerous[00:01:10]
To keep that plant alive[00:01:13]
I take these offers [00:01:16]
That means more killing[00:01:18]
Who knew success would come with messy [00:01:20]
Nasty strings [00:01:23]
I sign these contracts [00:01:25]
That means I'm willing[00:01:27]
To keep on doing bloody [00:01:29]
Awful evil things[00:01:31]
No No There's only so far you can bend[00:01:34]
No No This nightmare must come to an end[00:01:38]
No No You've got no alternative [00:01:43]
Seymour old boy[00:01:46]
Though it means you'll be[00:01:47]
Broke again and unemployed [00:01:48]
It's the only solution [00:01:49]
It can't be avoided[00:01:50]
The vegetable must be destroyed[00:01:51]
But then there's Audrey [00:01:59]
Lovely Audrey [00:02:06]
If life were tawdry[00:02:13]
And impov'rished as before [00:02:15]
She might not like me [00:02:18]
She might not want me[00:02:20]
Without my plant [00:02:28]
She might not love me anymore[00:02:30]
They say the meek shall inherit[00:02:42]
Where do I sign [00:02:45]
You know the book doesn't lie[00:02:46]
Right on the line [00:02:47]
It's not a question of merit[00:02:48]
That'll do fine [00:02:51]
It's not demand and supply[00:02:52]
This copy's mine [00:02:54]
You'll make a fortune we swear it [00:02:55]
If on this fact you rely[00:02:57]
Bye bye So long [00:02:59]
You know the meek are gonna[00:03:00]
Get what's comin' to 'em [00:03:01]
You know the meek are gonna[00:03:05]
Get what's comin' to 'em [00:03:06]
You know the meek are gonna[00:03:09]
Get what's comin' to 'em[00:03:11]
By and by[00:03:12]
