Corpse Bride Page #4

we shall be forced,

penniless, into the street.

We are destitute.

But Victor

Victor Van Dort has gone, child.

You shall marry Lord Barkis tomorrow.

-According to plan.

-According to plan.

Oh, my dear.

Oh, don't look at me that way.

You have only to suffer this union

until death do us part.

And that will come sooner

than you think.

Oh, it's almost dawn!

Where could he be?

Victor Van Dort elopes with corpse!

Heartbroken bride to wed

wealthy newcomer!

Wealthy newcomer? lt cannot be.

Did he say corpse?

Oh, don't be ridiculous. What corpse

would marry our Victor?

Oh, Mayhew!

Silence that blasted coughing.

Mayhew, are you trying to kill us?

l think he's trying to kill us.

l...

think you dropped this.

l'm sorry.

l'm sorry l lied to you

about wanting to see my parents.

lt's just this whole day

hasn't gone quite, well

according to plan.

Pardon my enthusiasm.

l like your enthusiasm.

-New arrival! New arrival!

-Lights up!

Hurry up, boys!

Drinks for everyone.

Another pint, sir?

-No, no. Just a half.

-No, no. Just a half.

lt is impossible

to get good help anymore.

Welcoming committee, coming through!

Coming through!

-My name's Plum. Miss Plum.

-Mayhew?

Mayhew! How nice to see--

l'm so sorry.

Oh, yeah. Actually, though, l feel great.

Hurry up, boys. Can you not see

the gentleman is parched?

Mayhew, l have to get back.

They all must be worried sick.

How is everyone?

Well, they're still wondering

where you slipped off to.

Oh, and Miss Victoria...

Yes? Yes, how is she?

Well, she's getting married

this evening.

What? Married to who?

Some newcomer,

Lord Somebody-or-Other.

But that's impossible!

Yeah, with you gone and all...

l guess they didn't wanna

waste the cake.

But how could she?

Women, you can't live with them.

You can't live with--

Time to pick up the pieces and--

You know, and move on, l suppose.

Speaking of picking up the pieces?

Victor? Where are you going?

Miss Victoria, we must leave

for the church now.

Yesterday l thought my wedding

would be happy.

Now l feel like l'm caught

in the tide, pulled out to sea.

The sea leads to many places, dearie.

Maybe you'll land somewhere better.

With this candle, l will light

your way in darkness.

With this ring,

l ask you to be mine.

l now pronounce you man and wife.

Oh, oh, dear.

l'm too late.

Oh, Mrs. Plum, what am l to do?

He just walked off without saying

a word. Are all men like this?

Well, l'm afraid none of them

are very bright.

They get something stuck

in their heads

and you can't do a thing with them.

My dear, we have to talk.

-Let me tell her, please. Let me tell her.

-What?

There is a complication

with your marriage.

l don't understand.

The vows are binding

only until death do you part.

What are you saying?

Death has already parted you.

lf he finds out, he'll leave.

There must be something you can do.

Well, there is one way.

Oh, please, please, let me tell her.

lt requires the greatest sacrifice.

-Go on, get to the good part.

-What is it?

-We have to kill him!

-What?

Victor would have to give up

the life he had forever.

He would need to repeat his vows

in the land of the living

and drink from the wine of ages.

Poison!

This would stop his heart forever.

Only then would he be free

to give it to you.

l could never ask him.

You don't have to.

l'll do it.

My boy, if you choose this path

you may never return

to the world above.

Do you understand?

l do.

Gather round. Gather round, everybody.

We've decided to do this thing properly.

So grab what you can and follow us.

We're moving this wedding party upstairs.

Upstairs? l didn't know

we had an upstairs.

-Sounds creepy.

-Let's go!

A wedding, a wedding

We're going to have a wedding

Hold on, Victor.

You can't get married looking like that.

The spiders think you're very cute

But goodness knows you need a suit

But have no fears, we're quite adept

We'll have you looking lovely, lovely, lovely

Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely yet

A little stitch, a little tuck

Some tender loving care

A little thread will fix you up

And we've got plenty as you see

And personally guarantee

Our quality repairs

A little here, I'll fix the mess

We're going to do our very best

When everybody sees you

They will all be quite impressed

They will all be quite impressed

A wedding, we're going to have

A wedding cake is no mistake

it must be quite sublime

-We're missing something

-Try some dust

I wish I had more time

Perhaps there's something I can do

These bones might help a bit

-Oh, my nose.

-Sorry.

Wait a minute, that's it

-A little of that

-A little of this

The perfect cake is hard to miss

A wedding, a wedding

We're going to have

A wedding

Huzzah, huzzah

We're going to have a wedding

A wedding

Let's all give out a cheer

'Cause the bride is getting married today

One thing you can surely say

is we will stand beside

Until the end we will defend

Our one and only bride

Our bride-to-be, our bride-to-be

Our lovely Corpse Bride

Huzzah! Hooray! Huzzah! Hooray!

Our bride is getting married today

-Oh, there she is.

-Here she comes.

Oh, oh, the bride is here

She's waited for this day

For many a year

For this day, for this day

Our hopes and our pride

The bride is here

Here comes the bride

Here comes the bride

Here comes the bride

For this day, for this day

Will last forever

And all of her friends

Will work together

To make it the perfect day

She's always dreamed

Our hopes and our pride

Our bride, our lovely bride

We're going to have a party

Like nobody's ever seen

The living in the land above

Will not know where they've been

The land above

The party of the bride

Here comes the bride

On this glorious day of days

Up to the land of the living

To celebrate

Oh, dear.

Quiet down now, everyone.

Thank you.

Elegant, cultured, radiant.

Victoria has found a husband

with all these qualities and more.

Serendipity brought us together

and no force on earth

could tear us apart.

There's an eye in me soup.

Oh, sorry.

Fetch me musket!

Fetch your own musket. l'm off!

Coming through. Coming through.

Excuse me, you don't know me,

but l used to live in your dead mother.

Hey, hold on there.

l love a woman with meat on her bones.

Finis, who invited these people?

They must be from your side

of the family.

Certainly not.

Why, if my Grandfather Everglot could

see this, he'd be turning in his grave.

Finis.

Where do you keep the spirits?

ln other news, the dead walk the earth!

Get back! Don't try

and sneak up on me!

Get back!

l'll give you such a wallop.

No.

Yeah.

Grandpa?

-Bounder!

-Sweetie pie.

-Monster.

-Buttercup.

-Cad!

-Gertrude!

Alfred?

You've been dead for 1 5 years.

Frankly, my dear, l don't give a damn.

Ethel!

Wait. That's it.

We're going to take whatever money

we can and get out of here.

Money? What money?

Your dowry. lt's my right!

But my parents don't have any money.
