Little Shop of Horrors (1986)
Plot summary
Directed by: Frank Oz
Starring: Steve Martin, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Vincent Gardenia, Ellen Greene, Levi Stubbs
Seymour (Rick Moranis) is the clumsy employee of Mushnik's Flower Shop on skid row, where he daydreams of Audrey (Ellen Greene), his coworker. After no business, Mr. Mushnik (Vincent Gardenia) decides to close the shop. Seymour and Audrey tell him that they think displaying something interesting, strange, and new in the window will attract business. Seymour brings up the perfect plant for the job: a flytrap-esque plant he calls Audrey II (voiced by Levi Stubbs, of the Four Tops). The plant immediately attracts business. After the store closes, the plant begins to wilt, and Mr. Mushnik orders Seymour to fix it.
That night, Seymour discovers what Audrey II eats: blood. Seymour feeds the plant his blood, and as a result, it gets bigger and bigger. When Seymour becomes unable to keep feeding it, the plant begins to talk and urges him to kill people and feed them to him. Audrey II promises him rewards, and that he'll bring him business, luxuries, everything he's ever wanted, and Audrey.

Orin: I find a little giggle-gas before I begin increases my pleasure enormously.
Trivia: To make the effects of Audrey II look convincing, the animatronic was usually shot at a lower frame-rate, such as 12 frames per second, and then played back at the standard 24fps. This sped-up the shots and made the animatronic's motions look more fluid and lifelike. In order to compensate, whenever a human actor would be in-shot with Audrey II, they would have to act in "slow motion" in order for their movement to look right at 24fps. (You can kinda tell in a few shots if you look closely).
Question: Near the end of the song "I am a dentist", is Orin saying "and a success" or "and I say sit"?

Answer: He says "and a success". He's singing about his mother telling him he'd become a successful dentist.
