"Who said that? Th-that you Mr. Mushnick?" Asks Seymour.
"F-f-feed m-me..."
"Who is that??" Seymour is now looking everywhere, terrified.
"Krel... boyne..."
Seymour grabs Junior and looks for a place to hide.
"Feed... me..."
Seymour now hears coming from his own hands and he drops Junior.
"Audrey Junior..? You can talk???"
"Hungry... feed me..."
"This is so insane. This can't be happening. I must have fell asleep..."
"Food..."
"Junior, what food do you eat?"
Audrey Junior's bulb attaches itself to Seymour's bleeding finger and starts sucking out the blood.
"Blood???" Seymour screams and shakes Junior off his hand.
"Feed me... feed me blood..."
"I guess if this is a dream there's really no harm."
Seymour places Audrey Junior on the table and begins to drip blood into the open bulb. It seemed like it was never enough to quench the plant's hunger. By the time Seymour fell asleep, he had dripped blood from all 10 fingers until they wouldn't drip any more but Junior was always still hungry.
Seymour woke up to Audrey Junior missing so he, still half asleep, walked into the front of the shop where he saw the plant had nearly quadrupled in size and while that was shocking, what shocked him even more was the amount of people in the store. Compared to yesterday, it seemed like it was packed to the brim.
Two high school girls walk into the shop.
"Hello!" One says to Mushnick. "What's that plant in the window?"
"Oh. That would be the Audrey Junior!"
"And its scientific name?"
"I couldn't pronounce it even if I wanted to. What brings you two lovely ladies into my shop today?"
"Well, we are on our school's committee for the Rose Parade. And we've been scoping out flower shops who we could potentially buy from. The 'Audrey Junior' caught our eyes and we wanted to learn more about it."
"Damn where is that boy..." Mushnick says under his breath. He looks around and sees Seymour peeking through the door. "Seymour! Please come over here! These two ladies would like to learn more about the Audrey Junior!"
Seymour stumbles over.
"What would you like to know?"
"What is it exactly?" The girls ask.
"Well, I think it's a cross between a Butterwort and a Venus Fly Trap. I bought it off of a man who just found it. So I'm trying to figure out more about it everyday."
"It's gorgeous."
"Do you ladies want to perhaps buy any flowers today?" Asks Mushnick.
"We don't have any money today. But we're going to talk to the rest of the committee and see about getting all of the flowers for the float here."
"H-h-how much would that be by chance?"
"About $2,000."
Mushnick could almost faint.
"If we could do everything from here, we would love to incorporate Audrey Junior into it somehow."
"That would be amazing now. You two ladies take care now bye!"
Mushnick puts his arm around Seymour and heads to the back.
"Seymour my son, $2000!! If business keeps like this we'll be able to get out of Skid Row for good. I could open a flower shop near Bel-Air and charge $600 for a dozen carnations and $1000 for two. The store sign would be neon lights and I can see it now: 'Mushnick's Flowers' in French."
"Mr. Mushnick!!" Mrs. Shiva's voice cries out and the two go back to the front.
"Mrs. Shiva! How are you today what can I help you with?"
"It's happened again... my nephew Harold..."
"How about this, 2 dozen carnations on the house? You've been very good to me over the years."
"Why thank you so much."
Audrey grabs the flowers from the back and hands them to Mrs. Shiva. As the elderly woman goes to leave she puts one down by Audrey Junior.
"Someone should give flowers to the poor plant."
Seymour and Mushnick run over to it and see Audrey Junior is wilting and about to fall over.
"Krelboyne! I thought you fixed the plant!! Fix it again now! I just gave 2 dozen flowers out for free. If it doesn't get better I will kill you."
Seymour takes Audrey Junior and runs to the back.
Believing the previous night to be a dream, Seymour tried the different plant foods, the water, the various dirts, and all the sunlight he could get on the poor thing but nothing changed until after sunset.
"Feed me... Seymour feed me..."
Seymour now realizes it wasn't a dream and Audrey Junior requires blood to be healthy. He pricks all 10 fingers again and drips all the blood he can into the mouth of the plant but it isn't enough.
"More... I need more!!!"
"I'm sorry, Junior... I'm all bloodied out. I gotta save some for myself..."
Audrey junior begins to flail about and hits Seymour in the jaw with one of its tendrils.
"Fine, fine... let me go for a walk and I'll figure something, anything out."
Audrey Junior huffs and Seymour walks out the door.
He searched high and low for anything he could potentially feed the plant with when he stumbles on the rail yard. He sees a man trip and fall onto the tracks and get his legs crushed by the train.
"God... please help me..." cries out the man.
Seymour realizes it's his golden ticket, grabs a large stone, and begins to walk to the man.
"Sir... please help me..."
"You got it sir. Your pain is gonna go away very soon." And he throws the rock, crushing the man's head in, and killing him instantly. Seymour throws up.
"What the hell am I doing??" He thinks to himself, but remembering he promised to help Junior and that he sleeps in the flower shop, he comes to the conclusion that he would rather it not be him.
Seymour finds a bag big enough to hold the man's body and takes him back to Mushnick's.
"Too big. Cut him up..." Demands Audrey Junior.
"Come on, I can't do that..."
"Cut. Him. Up. Krelboyne."
"Fine!" Seymour screams and he drags the body outside and uses a machete that's kept in the back to cut the body up into pieces the plant can eat.
