Muriel's Wedding Page #3

Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo

I'm finally facing my Waterloo

My, my

I tried to hold you back

But you were stronger

Oh, yeah

And now it seems

My only chance

is giving up the fight

And how could I ever refuse

I feel like I win when I lose

Waterloo, I was defeated

You won the war

Waterloo, promise

to love you forevermore

Waterloo, couldn't escape

if I wanted to

Waterloo, knowing my fate

is to be with you

Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo

I'm finally facing my Waterloo

So how could I ever refuse

I feel like I win when I lose

- Waterloo, couldn't escape

if I wanted to

- I'll kill you!

Waterloo, knowing my fate

is to be with you

Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo

I'm finally facing my Waterloo

Ooh-ooh-ooh, Waterloo

Knowing my fate

is to be with you

"Dear Dad, the girls and l

are having a great time.

Last night I sold a hundred dollars

worth of cosmetics...

to Barry Crocker. Muriel."

A hundred dollars worth to

Barry Crocker, eh? How about that.

P.S. I'm a fatso whale.

This cosmetic thing is the best thing

that ever happened to Muriel.

It really is.

She paid for this holiday herself.

Bought clothes to wear,

new suitcases.

Perry, you listening to this?

Eh?

- I said, "yeah."

- Well, so you should, you useless lump.

Muriel's out there,

and she's made something of herself.

And she was the most useless one

of all, wasn't she, Bill?

Ah, she really impressed me.

I told her that on the way

to the airport for this holiday.

I said, "You've really impressed me.

You can't type,

but you've really impressed me."

You know what they call this great man?

Bill the Battler.

'Cause he's a little Aussie battler.

- Been battling all me life.

- Battlin' for Porpoise Spit.

Here's Deidre Chambers.

What a coincidence.

- Deidre! Hey, Deidre!

- Bill! Hello.

- What a coincidence.

- Take a seat. Penelope, shift over.

Deidre, Leo Higgins.

He's concreting Wallum Beach for us.

- Hello, Leo.

- Deidre got Muriel

into this cosmetics thing.

Perry, show Deidre Muriel's postcard.

Hibiscus Island. How about that?

She should really

be sending you postcards, Deidre.

You're the reason she's there.

- Bill.

- I told you. I'm thinking about it.

Not that. It's Muriel.

In the past two weeks,

she's bought two kits from me...

at a cost of $40 each.

If she'd sold both kits

for the recommended price...

she'd make $110...

leaving her a profit of 30.

- Thirty dollars.

- What are you talkin' about?

She's on a $3,000 holiday.

She's makin' a fortune.

Isn't she?

Do you think I could be famous?

Sure. For what?

Oh, I don't know.

I could be an actress.

I'm mental enough.

My, my

At Waterloo

Napoleon did surrender

Oh, yeah

There was something

in the air that night

The stars were bright

Fernando

They were shining there

for you and me

For liberty, Fernando

Though we never thought

that we could lose

There's no regrets

If I had to do the same again

I would, my friend

Fernando

If I had to do the same again

I would, my friend

Fernando

Do you ever think you're nothing?

Sometimes I think I'm nothing.

Useless.

You're not nothing, Muriel.

You're amazing.

Remember how you were

in school?

You were so quiet

you could hardly talk.

You were too shy

to look at people.

Now you're a success,

and someone wants to marry you.

You're not nothing, Muriel.

You've made it.

Can you hear the drums, Fernando

I remember long ago

another starry night like this

In the firelight, Fernando

You were humming to yourself

and softly strumming your guitar

I could hear the distant drums

and sounds of bugle calls

Were coming from afar

They were closer now, Fernando

Every hour, every minute

seemed to last eternally

I was so afraid, Fernando

We were young and full of life

and none of us prepared to die

And I'm not ashamed to say

the roar of guns and cannons

- Almost made me cry

- ...move it into the pillow.

The pillow forms a perfect

sleeping cradle for your head and back.

We all have a different shape

to the head and neck.

- By sleeping on a pillow that

fits perfectly with your shape...

- I'm back.

- you relieve stress on muscles--

- You're terrible, Muriel.

Muriel, Daddy's so angry.

He's on his way back from the bank.

He'll want to talk to you.

All our money's gone.

$12,000.

You didn't do anything bad with those

blank cheques I gave you, did you?

- You wouldn't do that to me, would you?

- Of course not.

- There was something

in the air that night

- Did you bring me a present?

The stars were bright, Fernando

They were shining there

for you and me

For liberty, Fernando

Though we never thought

that we could lose

There's no regret

- If I had to do the same again

- Where to, love?

I would, my friend, Fernando

If I had to do the same again

I would, my friend, Fernando

When the coach turns 'round

into Stableyard Grove...

we will, for the first time,

see a glimpse of the bride...

with her father,

the Earl Spencer...

and we'll see that wedding dress which

has been kept such a wonderful secret.

There we are.

And what a bride--

Quite a job, getting it.

All those yards of silk.

Ah, what a dream she looks.

What a dream she looks.

There's a bride any man

would be happy to see...

coming down the aisle

towards him.

The dress is made of yards

of ivory pure silk taffeta.

It has big sleeves with--

- Card number?

- Ninety-two. Brice Nobes.

- You take out a lot of videos.

- Do I?

You should join our video addicts club.

It's for people who take out

too many videos.

- Too many?

- Well, you know, a lot.

You get a dollar off

every new release.

Do you wanna go out with me?

You know, on a date.

What?

It's okay. You can say it.

I don't mind.

- Videodrama.

- It's me.

I still can't find any blokes

for us tomorrow night.

Even Tony's busy,

and his leg's in a cast.

- I've got one.

- You're racing off a customer.

You have got the best job

for meeting men.

Turn him around.

I can't see his face.

- Can you look at that dry cleaners

over there, please?

- Sure.

- What do you think?

- It's great.

Well, it's a start.

Meet me for lunch.

I want to hear every detail.

- You are wicked.

- This is my new life.

I'm a new person.

I'm changing my name to Mariel.

- That is your name.

- No, Mariel. M-A-R-I-E-L.

- Muriel--

- Mariel.

- Mariel.

Are you on the run

from the law?

I don't care if you are.

I'd just like to know.

Well, you know Tim,

my ex-fiance?

He was a policeman.

You jilted a cop?

He's after you?

Well, he said if I ever left him,

he'd find out who I was living with

and shoot them.

Then he'd shoot me,

then himself.

Sh*t. He really

loved you, didn't he?

Wow!

- Rhonda's changed my life.

- She would.

- Do you-- Do you wanna go

somewhere else?

- What?

- Do you wanna go somewhere else?

- Oh, Rhonda wants to stay here.

I'm going.

I've got a date.

They're American.

Have fun.

Don't do anything I wouldn't do.

Hi, guys!

I'm really excited.

Do you wanna dance?

I-I'm a terrible dancer.
