Orin : [holding a dentist's tool] Let me ask you something! Does this scare you? Would you like if I took this and headed right for your damn incisors?
Seymour : [looks terrified]
Orin : It'd hurt, right?
Seymour : Uh huh.
Orin : You'd scream, right?
Seymour : Uh huh.
Orin : Well get your ass in here!
-
Orin : Look Seymour, this could happen to you. Unless I take immediate action.
Seymour : [helpless in dentist chair] What's that?
Orin : [enthusiastically] A drill.
Seymour : It's rusty!
Orin : It's an antique. They don't make 'em like this any more. Sturdy. Heavy. Dull!
Orin : I'm gonna want some gas fer this.
Seymour : Oh, thank God. I thought you weren't gonna use any.
Orin : Oh, the gas isn't for you Seymour, it's for me. You see, I wanna really enjoy this.

[Seymour points a gun at him]
Orin : [while wearing a gas mask, sees it] Huh? What the hell's that? A gun?
[laughs out of control]
Orin : [sarcastically while laughing still] Kid's got a goddamn revolver Oh, Jesus! I'm in trouble now, huh?
[Orin laughs still as Seymour goes nervous still pointing the gun at him]
Orin : Oh, wait till I turn this gas off.
[takes the cap off by accident]
Orin : Uh-oh! Oh, give me a hand, would you? No, I guess you wouldn't, would you?
[laughs again but coughs as he tries to take the mask off]
Orin : You see, Seymour, I could asphyx...
[coughs out of control]
Orin : I could asphyx...
[continues laughing and coughing until he collapses on the floor]
Orin : [stops laughing] What'd I ever do to you?
Seymour : [lowers the gun] Nothing. It's what you did to her.
Orin : Her who?
[Seymour does not answer]
Orin : [finally gets it] Oh... her...
[Orin then dies from too much nitrous oxide as Seymour goes puzzled]

[Orin Scrivello, the sadistic dentist]
Orin : [singing] I thrill when I drill a bicuspid / It's swell though they tell me I'm mal-ad-just-ed.
-
Orin : I find a little giggle-gas before I begin increases my pleasure enormously.
-
Orin : Stupid woman! Christ, what a friggin' scatterbrain!
Audrey : I'm sorry, doctor! I'm sorry, doctor!
Orin : Falls off the motorcycle!
Audrey : I'm clumsy, doctor! I'm clumsy, doctor!
Orin : [kicks down the doors] Messes my hair! Get the door open, you little slut!
Audrey : I'm trying, doctor! I'm trying, doctor!
Orin : Get the Vitalis! Quick, the Vitalis!
Audrey : [feeling threatened] I'm out of it!
Orin : [grabs her] What!
[Orin slaps her harshly making her cry]

Orin : [singing] When I was younger, just a bad little kid/My mama noticed funny things I did/Like shooting puppies with a BB gun/I'd poison guppies, and when I was done/I'd find a pussycat and bash in its head/That's when my mama said...
Crystal , Ronette , Chiffon : What did she say?
Orin : She said, "My boy, I think someday/You'll find a way/To make your natural tendencies pay/You'll be a dentist!/You have a talent for causing things pain/Son, be a dentist/People will pay you to be inhumane/Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood/And teaching would suit you sill less/Son, be a dentist/You'll be a success!"
