 "The Meek Shall Inherit" scene was also originally longer, with Seymour  having second thoughts about continuing to feed the plant human lives. After  the girls are singing while typing in the secretarial pool, he sings, "My  futures starting, Ive got to let it / Stick with that plant and gee /My  bank account will thrive /What am I saying? No way! Forget it! / Its much  too dangerous to keep the plant alive!" He then realizes, moaning, "I take  these offers / That means more killing / Who knew success would come with  messy, nasty strings? / I sign these contracts / That means Im willing to  keep on doing bloody, awful, evil things!" He then sings defiantly, "No! No!  Theres only so far you can bend / No! No! This nightmare must come to an end  / No! No! Youve got no alternative / Seymour old boy / Though it means  youll be broke again and unemployed / Its the only solution, It cant be  avoided / The vegetable must be DESTROYED!" He then looks at Audrey and sings  softly, "But then theres 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." He then reluctantly agrees  to sign the contracts, and the girls sing softly beside him as Seymour asks,  "Where do I sign?" After that interlude, it breaks back into what the  theatrical release had, the strong finale of that song. In this case, the  scene was cut for length.
