For Cabaret, I listened to a lot of German jazz and vaudeville music, also of the late 20s and very early 30s, and then promptly forgot about it.

It sounds like a very kind of crude way of doing research, but it works for me.

You listen and you listen and you listen and then put it away and don't think about it anymore.

And I have this absolute belief that the styles of the music that you've been listening to seep into your unconscious and come out in your own language.

Mrs. Lovett, what a charming notion.

Well, it does seem outweighed.

Mrs. Love and how I've lived without you all these years.

I never know how delectable.

Think about it.

What is that?

Not as hearty as Bishop, perhaps.
