INT-MUSHNIK'S NIGHT
Audrey runs back into the shop, where the plant has been waiting patiently for her.
Audrey: Bigger than hula hoop! That's what you getting Seymour do all along, warn't you?
AUDREY II: No shit, Sherlock!
Audrey: We're not talking about one hungry plant here, we're talking about world conquest!
AUDREY II: And I wish I could THANK Seymour for it!
Audrey: You ate the only thing I ever loved!
The plant merely laughs.
Audrey: You're a monster, and so's Seymour! It's gotta end! It's gotta stop right now!
The plant shoves her with a vine
SONG: MEAN GREEN MOTHER FROM OUTER SPACE
AUDREY II: Better wait a minute, You better hold the phone; Better mind your manners, Better change your tone.
The plant knocks her to the floor and shoves its massive pod in her face.
AUDREY II: Don't you threaten me, doll, You got a lotta gall! We gonna do things my way, Or we won't do things at all!
The pod rears up, laughing. Audrey watches in horror as the plant's pot begins to crack. Small chunks break away, and roots begin pushing their way out.
AUDREY II: Uh huh! You in trouble now!
Suddenly, the entire pot shatters, showering clay and dirt on Audrey. Audrey II has taken root in the ground underneath the flower shop, and now faces her down defiantly.
AUDREY II: You don't know what you're messin' with, You got no idea; You don't know what you're lookin' at, When you're lookin' here! You don't know what you're up against,No, no way no how; You don't know what you're messin' with, But I'm gonna tell ya n-n-now!
Audrey clambers to her feet and runs to the counter. She opens a drawer and pulls out the revolver Seymour was going to use on Orin. She brandishes the gun at the plant, but is frozen by fear, as dozens of smaller pods, like miniature Audrey II's, pop open, singing the harmony.
AUDREY II: Get this straight! I'm just a mean green mother, From outer space and I'm bad!
PODS: Mean-green-bad!
AUDREY II: I'm just a mean green mother, From outer space and it looks like you been had! I'm just a mean green mother, From outer space, so get off my back, Get out' my face, 'Cause I'm mean and green And I am BAD!
Audrey squeezes off three shots, which ricochet off the plant's pod and into a potted flower and a mirror. She looks away nervously and fires a fourth, which also bounces off. The plant grabs the gun with a vine. The plant twirls the gun and fires a shot at Audrey's feet. She jumps.
AUDREY II: Wanna save your skin, babe?
The plant fires another shot, which spangs the watercan at
Audrey's feet. He jumps again.
AUDREY II: You wanna save your hide?
The plant shoots out the numbers in the cash register.
AUDREY II: You wanna see tomorrow? Better step aside.
Yet another shot. Audrey runs for the door to the back room, the plant still firing after her.
