There he is, girls! I found him! There's Seymour!
Oh, Seymour? Oh, Seymour!
Can we have your autograph?
We saw you on the Channel 5 News!
You look so handsome!
And you're gonna be so rich!
Please, girls. Not now.
Oh, is it true?
Aren't you two his Grand Marshal for the Rose Bowl?
Is it true the shop is decorating the Senior Prom?
Yes, it's all true. Now, please.
There's another big hot shot looking for you, Seymour, from uptown!
He's been asking 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, pussy, cats!
Do I know you?
Of course not! But are you gonna be happy when you do?
Seymour!
Sweetheart!
Dollface!
Blah, blah, blah!
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 TV show for me!
Seymour Krelborn's Gardening Tips!
The half an hour on Sunday's at four!
TV's first home gardening program!
You'll make a mint, and our ratings will soar!
This enemy shall inherit, you know the book doesn't lie!
It's not a question of merit, it's not demand, it's supply!
This enemy gonna get it, and you're a little guy!
You know America's gonna get what's coming to him, by and by!
Your own TV show!
Coast to coast!
Your name in lights!
Your face on screen!
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 want to see anybody else today!
Oh, my darling, my precious, my sweet, sweet thing!
So delighted to make your acquaintance!
Cutie, sweetness, Seymour, baby doll!
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 3rd 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,
who shots of you and your beautiful plant!
This enemy shall inherit!
You know the book doesn't lie!
It's not a question of merit!
It's not the man to supply!
This enemy's gonna get it, and you're a meek little guy!
You know America's gonna get what's coming to him, 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 Crelborn,
owner of the fabulous Audrey II,
America's most amazing and largest unidentified plant!
Oh, so this is Seymour Cramhorn!
We've been trying to reach you, baby!
Have your phones been busy?
Did you get our telegram?
I don't think so.
It's a good thing I came down here in person, then!
Pleased to meet you, kid!
Skip snip, huh?
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 kind of 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 anymore!
They say the meek shall inherit!
Where do I sign?
No, the meek doesn't lie!
Right on the line!
It's not a question of marriage!
That'll do fine!
It's like the man in Spain!
This copy's mine!
The meek are fortunate, we swear it!
Couldn't go wrong!
They're gonna start to cry!
Goodbye, so long!
You know the meek are gonna get what's coming to them!
You know the meek are gonna get what's coming to them!
You know the meek are gonna get what's coming to them!
Bye!
And...
Bye!
