Corpse Bride (2005) Edit

A day for a glorious wedding

A far better prospect this time.

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

A Lord Barkis, sir.

A most scandalous embarrassment for us all.

A rehearsal for a glorious wedding

A toast, then.

A tragic tale of romance, passion...

A Ukrainian haunting spell. Just the thing for these quick trips.

A wedding

A wedding, a wedding We're going to have a wedding

Alas, I am not married.

Alfred?

All right, I will.

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Always waiting for someone To ask for her hand

And all of her friends Will work together

And I know her heart is beating

And I know that I am dead

And I thought.... I thought this was all going so well.

And I'm not afraid to use him. I want some questions. Now!

And it seems that I still have A tear to shed

And my father too. We should go and see them right now.

And now, the weather. Scattered showers

And our poor little baby She fell hard and fast

And personally guarantee Our quality repairs

And that silly little creature Isn 't wearing his ring

And that will come sooner than you think.

And that's the story Of our Corpse Bride

And that's why everything Every last little thing

And that's why everything Every last little thing

And the pain here that I feel

And then, baby, everything went black

And who would have guessed In a million years

And you should know it's unexpected.

Another pint, sir?

Apparently, I'm a day early for the ceremony.

As if that has anything to do with marriage.

Assuming nothing happens That we don 't really know

At least those of you Who still got an ear

Baby's breath.

Be gone, ye demons from hell!

But But I left you.

But don 't wear a frown Because it's really okay

But don 't wear a frown, Because it's really okay

But have no fears, we're quite adept We'll have you looking lovely, lovely, lovely

But how could she?

But I do not love him. You cannot make me do this.

But I've never even spoken to her.

But my parents don't have any money.

But that's impossible!

But then again, she never approved of anything.

But then, on meeting you, I felt I should be with you always...

But Victor....

But we all end up The remains of the day

But we all end up The remains of the day

But we all end up The remains of the day

But you forget...

By Jove, man. Looks like we've got ourselves a breather.

Can the living marry the dead?

Certainly not.

Come by the fire. Where have you been? Are you all right?

Come sit in your chair, dearie. You're shaking like a leaf.

Come with me.

Come, Hildegarde.

Coming through, coming through.

Coming through. Coming through.

Continue!

Darling? Who's this?

Dearly beloved and departed...

Death has already parted you.

Did he say corpse?

Did things not go according to your plan, Lord Barkis?

Die, die, we all pass away

Die, die, we all pass away

Die, die, we all pass away

Do call for me if you need my assistance...

Do carry on.

Do I have to kill you too?

Do you think she would have approved of me?

Do you understand?

Don't you understand? You're the other woman.

Drinks for everyone.

Elder Gutknecht.

Elder Gutknecht...

Elevated to the heights of society

Emil, a seat for Lord Barkis.

Emily?

Enough! This wedding cannot take place until he is properly prepared.

Enter.

Evening.

Everglots all fired up as Van Dort disaster ruins rehearsal!

Every single, tiny, microscopic little thing Must go

Every single, tiny, microscopic little thing Must go

Everybody knows That's just a temporary state

Except for a few things Or so I'm told

Excuse me, you don't know me, but I used to live in your dead mother.

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Got it!

Fetch her a straitjacket! She's completely mad!

Fetch me musket!

Fetch me musket.

Finis, come to bed at once.

Finis, who invited these people?

Finis.

Fish merchants.

Fishy fiance could be canned!

For dead.

For I will be....

For that boy to toss aside a young woman like Victoria...

For this day, for this day Our hopes and our pride

For this day, for this day Will last forever

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

From the depths of deepest poverty

Gather round. Gather round, everybody.

Get back!

Get back! Don't try and sneak up on me!

Get the door, Emil.

Get those corsets laced properly.

Go chew someone else's ear for a while.

Go on, my dear.

Good boy, Scraps. Play dead.

Good boy, Scraps. Roll over. Roll over.

Good heavens, Finis, what should we do?

Grandpa?

Having crumpets with Her Highness

He has a corpse bride!

He just walked off without saying a word. Are all men like this?

He needs our help! Oh, let me go! Let me go!

He will make a fine husband.

He would need to repeat his vows in the land of the living...

He's not my boyfriend, he's my husband.

Hear ye, hear ye! Rehearsal in ruins as Van Dort boy causes chaos!

Hello!

Hello?

Her jewels were missing And her heart was bust

Her mind has come undone, I fear.

Here comes the bride Here comes the bride

Here comes the bride Here comes the bride

Here comes the bride On this glorious day of days

Here it is, one minute before 5, and you're not at the rehearsal.

Here we have it. Ready?

Here ye, here ye, 10 minutes to go till Van Dort's wedding rehearsal.

Hey, give me a listen You corpses of cheer

Hey, hold on there.

Hey, I think you dropped something.

Hildegarde, you believe me, don't you?

Hit it, boys.

Hold on, hold on.

Hold on, Victor.

Hopscotch.

How about a pulse?

How special you can be

Hurry up, boys!

Hurry up, boys. Can you not see the gentleman is parched?

Huzzah, huzzah

Huzzah! Hooray! Huzzah! Hooray!

I I I do apologize, Miss Everglot. How rude of me to Well....

I l

I always cry at weddings.

I always knew I deserved better than a fish merchant's life.

I am sure he does. Why don't you go ask him?

I believe I know the thing to do.

I can hear you speak without gasping.

I can't.

I could do it.

I could never ask him.

I did?

I did.

I do.

I do.

I don't understand.

I guess they didn't wanna waste the cake.

I have a bad feeling about that boy. You know he is no

I have it.

I have to help him.

I haven't a head for dates.

I knew you'd be happy to see him.

I know that I am dead

I left it here somewhere.

I like your enthusiasm.

I love a woman with meat on her bones.

I love you, Victor.

I now pronounce you man and wife.

I saw her. A corpse! Standing right here with Victor.

I say, you're not playing fair, sir.

I think he's trying to kill us.

I think I should prepare Mother and Father for the big news.

I was a bride.

I was betrothed some years ago...

I will be creating your wedding feast.

I will be your wine.

I will be....

I will set your mother on fire.

I wish I had more time

I'll do it.

I'll give you such a wallop.

I'll go ahead and you...

I'll keep an eye out for him.

I'll not leave here empty handed!

I'll tell you a story Make a skeleton cry

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry I lied to you about wanting to see my parents.

I'm sorry.

I'm sure he has a perfectly good reason for taking so long.

I've brought my husband, Victor.

I've got a I've got a dwarf.

If ever I see that Van Dort boy...

If he only knew The you that we know

If I may ask, Miss Everglot...

If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain

If only he could see How special you can be

If you ask me, your boyfriend is kind of jumpy.

If you cut me with a knife It's still the same

In fact, since we're, you know...

In other news, the dead walk the earth!

In the ice or in the sun It's all the same

Is that she's alive

Isn't it romantic?

It is a bride I fear, which is why I must know:

It is impossible to get good help anymore.

It really shouldn't be all that difficult.

It requires the greatest sacrifice.

It will be years before we can show ourselves in public again.

It's a sad, sad state of affairs we're in

It's a terrible day for a wedding

It's a wedding present.

It's just a few simple vows.

It's just this whole day hasn't gone quite, well...

It's my eye, isn't it?

It's my marriage to you that will save them from the poorhouse.

It's not true! Let me go! Let me go!

It's true, Mother!

Just like you and me

Just remember, when you want to come back, say Hopscotch.

Just to get back to that other woman.

Keep away!

Land of the living?

Let Hilde fetch you a blanket.

Let me at him! Let me at him!

Let me see what I can do.

Let's all give out a cheer 'Cause the bride is getting married today

Let's just pick it up at the candle bit.

Let's try it again, shall we, Master Van Dort?

Like the family jewels And a satchel of gold

Lilies for sweetness.

Listen, under different circumstances, well, who knows?

Look, I am terribly sorry about what's happened to you...

Look, I'm sorry, but...

Lord Barkis?

Lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely yet

M M

Maggots.

Make haste, my dear, our relatives will arrive at any moment.

Marriage is a partnership, a little tit for tat.

Married, huh? I'm a widow.

Marvellous news, Victoria, there'll be a wedding after all.

Maybe he's right. Maybe we are too different.

Maybe you'll land somewhere better.

Mayhew, are you trying to kill us?

Mayhew, I have to get back.

Mayhew! How nice to see

Mayhew! Silence that blasted coughing.

Miss Everglot.

Miss Victoria, we must leave for the church now.

Money? What money?

Mother never approved of Scraps jumping up like this.

Mrs. Everglot.

Music is improper for a young lady.

My boy, if you choose this path...

My darling, I just wanted to meet

My dear, we have to talk.

My dog, Scraps!

My dreams were taken from me.

My husband says such foolish things. Ignore him.

My name is Paul, I am the head waiter.

Mystery woman? He doesn't even know any women!

New arrival.

Newlyweds?

Nice tiles, shame about the d****s.

No peeking.

No, I'm telling the truth.

No, she doesn't compare

No! I meant, no, I do not not wish to be married.

No! You're married to me. She's the other woman.

No.

No.

No. No, not at all, no.

No. Your eye is...

Not anymore.

Now I feel like I'm caught in the tide, pulled out to sea.

Now you.

Now, her mother's wedding dress Fit like a glove

Now, then...

Now, when she opened her eyes She was dead as dust

Now, why go up there, when people are dying to get down here?

Of our own jubiliciously Lovely Corpse Bride

Oh, and Miss Victoria....

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear.

Oh, dear. I'm sorry.

Oh, do come this way, it's just through there.

Oh, don't be ridiculous. What corpse would marry our Victor?

Oh, goodness, no.

Oh, Hildegarde.

Oh, how rude. He went that way!

Oh, how touching.

Oh, I almost forgot. I have something for you.

Oh, I love what you've done with the place. Who is your decorator?

Oh, I'm leaving.

Oh, it's no use.

Oh, Mayhew! Silence that blasted coughing.

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

Oh, my dear.

Oh, my dear. Oh, don't look at me that way.

Oh, my dear. There you are.

Oh, no, we couldn't possibly.

Oh, nonsense! We're every bit as good as the Everglots.

Oh, please, please, let me tell her.

Oh, Scraps, what a good boy.

Oh, sorry.

Oh, they're still alive.

Oh, those girls are ten a penny. You've got so much more.

Oh, Victor, I never thought I'd see you again.

Oh, Victoria.

Oh, what a cutie.

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

Okay.

Okay. Oh, yeah. Come on, boys, pick it up.

On a dark foggy night A t a quarter to 3

One thing you can surely say Is we will stand beside

Only then would he be free to give it to you.

Or perhaps he does belong with her. Little Miss Living.

Or so you thought.

Our bride to be, our bride to be Our lovely Corpse Bride

Our hopes and our pride Our bride, our lovely bride

Our young lovers together at last.

Out of the way, you ninny.

Overrated by a mile

Pardon my enthusiasm.

Pastor Galswells is waiting. Come at once.

Pastor Galswells, I have to ask you something.

Pay attention! Have you even remembered to bring the ring?

Perhaps there's something I can do These bones might help a bit

Perhaps, in In view of the circumstances...

Please, Elder Gutknecht.

Please, Elder Gutknecht.

Please, it's Victor. He's married to a corpse.

Pleasure to meet you, sir.

Poison!

Quick, quick, after him!

Quiet down now, everyone.

Regardless, we are one groom short for the wedding tomorrow.

Right. Oh, right!

Roses for eternal love.

Rubbing elbows with the finest

Scraps!

Scraps.

Serendipity brought us together...

She must think I'm such a fool. This day couldn't get any worse.

She was ready to go But where was he?

She's dead. Look.

She's got a point.

She's having second thoughts.

She's speaking in tongues. Of unholy alliances.

She's waited for this day For many a year

Shouldn't Victoria Everglot be marrying a lord or something?

Shut up!

Since I was a child, I've I've dreamt of my wedding day.

Sir, I beg you to help. It means so much to me

Smile, darling, smile.

So grab what you can and follow us.

So our lovers came up With a plan to elope

So she made a vow Lying under that tree

So they conjured up a plan To meet late at night

Someone to spend the rest of my life with.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Speaking of picking up the pieces?

Stay right here. I'll be right back.

Surely now they can live happily ever after.

Surely there must be something you can do.

Take her to her room!

Take your hands off her.

Tell me, my dear...

Th The poorhouse?

Thank you, Pastor Galswells. Thank you so very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That has led to this ominous wedding

That is, I want very much to

That nothing unexpected Interferes with the show

That she'd wait for her true love To come set her free

That's nice.

That's right.

The bride is here Here comes the bride

The dark haired temptress and Master Van Dort slipped away into the night!

The land above The party of the bride

The living in the land above Will not know where they've been

The perfect cake is hard to miss

The ring? Yes. Of course.

The scandal!

The sea leads to many places, dearie.

The sole redeeming feature From that little creature

The spiders think you're very cute But goodness knows you need a suit

The town crier probably just had a slow news day.

The Ukrainian haunting spell?

The vows are binding only until death do you part.

Then next to the graveyard By the old oak tree

Then out of the blue Comes this groovy young man

There he goes, there he goes! He's He's getting away!

There is a complication with your marriage.

There must be another way.

There must be some way to undo what's been done.

There must be something you can do.

There you are!

There's an eye in me soup.

There's the one.

They all must be worried sick. How is everyone?

They could be land rich, Bankrupt aristocracy

They get something stuck in their heads...

They told not a soul Kept the whole thing tight

They will all be quite impressed

This candle.

This candle....

This is gonna be good.

This is the voice of your conscience. Listen to what I say.

This is wrong.

This morning I was terrified of marriage.

This woman is obviously delusional!

This would stop his heart forever.

Though it doesn't beat, it's breaking

Three steps, three!

To celebrate

To make it the perfect day She 's always dreamed

To marry off our daughter To the nouveau riche

To the newlyweds.

Tomorrow, we are to be m

Too passionate, she says.

Touch��, my dear.

Try and tell me it's not real

Until the end we will defend Our one and only bride

Up to the land of the living

Upstairs? I didn't know we had an upstairs.

Victor has gone to see his parents, just like he said.

Victor is married to a dead woman.

Victor needs my help.

Victor Van Dort elopes with corpse!

Victor Van Dort has gone, child.

Victor was in your room?

Victor would have to give up the life he had forever.

Victor, catch!

Victor, darling, where are you?

Victor, darling.

Victor, I feel the same.

Victor, where have you gone?

Victor!

Victor?

Victor?

Victor?

Victor? Where are you going?

Victor.

Victor.

Victor.

Victoria has found a husband...

Victoria, I confess.

Victoria, I se I se

Victoria!

Victoria? Where are your corsets?

Wait a minute, that's it

Wait.

Wait. That's it.

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!

We must abide by their rules.

We must have you looking presentable for Lord Barkis.

We need to go up. Upstairs? To visit the land of the living.

We shall continue as planned, with or without Vincent.

We'll be taking tea in the west drawing room.

We'll be there, we'll be seen Having tea with the queen

We'll forget everything That we've ever, ever been

We're going to have a party Like nobody's ever seen

We're going to have a wedding A wedding

We're going to take whatever money we can and get out of here.

We're moving this wedding party upstairs.

We've decided to do this thing properly.

Wealthy newcomer? It cannot be.

Wedding feast! I'm salivating.

Welcoming committee, coming through! Coming through!

Well said.

Well, actually...

Well, at least we have that in our favor.

Well, he's quite the catch, isn't he?

Well, hello. What a pleasure. Welcome to our home.

Well, I'm afraid none of them are very bright.

Well, now....

Well, perhaps in disappointment we are perfectly matched.

Well, she's getting married this evening.

Well, that's a great way to start a marriage.

Well, that's kind of a long story.

Well, there is one way.

Well, they're still wondering where you slipped off to.

What a fantastic idea! Where are they buried?

What a story it is.

What are you doing here? You should be at home, prostrate with grief.

What are you saying?

What does that wispy little brat have That you don 't have double?

What impropriety is this?

What shall we do?

What? Married to who?

What's that, Mr. Everglot? Call you Dad? If you insist, sir.

What's that, Scraps?

What's that? Husband?

What's wrong?

When everybody sees you They will all be quite impressed

When her daddy said no She just couldn't cope

When one lives alone, wealth counts for naught.

Where did I put that book?

Where do you keep the spirits?

Where have you gone?

Where is Victor? We might be late.

Which is cured very quickly When we meet our fate

Who are you?

Who could that be at this hour?

Who's my good boy? Sit. Sit, Scraps, sit.

Why can't you understand? It was a mistake. I would never marry you.

Why, if I had a woman like your daughter on my arm...

Why, if my Grandfather Everglot could see this, he'd be turning in his grave.

Why, you must be Miss Victoria.

Will the mortification never cease?

William, do something.

With her rosy cheeks and beating heart.

With this candle, I will light your way in darkness.

With this candle, I will light your way in darkness.

With this candle, I will light your way in darkness.

With this candle, I will....

With this candle....

With this candle....

With this hand, I will lift your sorrows.

With this hand, I will take your wine.

With this hand...

With this hand...

With this hand...

With this hand...

With this ring, I ask you to be mine.

With this ring, I ask you to be mine.

With this....

Without your marriage to Lord Barkis...

Women, you can't live with them.

Would provide our ticket To a rightful place

Yeah, with you gone and all....

Yeah!

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. Like it.

Yep, you're right. He's all yours.

Yes, I must say, you don't look a day over 20. No. Oh, yes.

Yes, it's usually best.

Yes, of course. Well....

Yes? Yes, how is she?

Yesterday I thought my wedding would be happy.

Yet I feel my heart is aching

Yet it seems that I still have Some tears to shed

You are the only one in the village who knows of what awaits beyond the grave.

You can't get married looking like that.

You can't live with

You don 't need much When you're really in love

You don't have to.

You found him?

You have only to suffer this union until death do us part.

You kept your promise.

You know how it is, you need a little something to cry about.

You lied to me!

You look ravishing this evening.

You may kiss the bride.

You might try and hide And you might try and pray

You might try and hide And you might try and pray

You might try and hide And you might try and pray

You set me free.

You shall marry Lord Barkis tomorrow.

You shall not enter here.

You should have seen him with fur.

You should've thought about that before you asked me to marry you.

You!

You?

You'd think a lifetime watching us....

You'll have to use a rope.

You're as cold as death. What's happened to you?

You're lucky you'll never have to meet her.

You're lying. It isn't true. Tell me that you're lying!

You've been dead for 1 5 years.

You've certainly hooked a winner this time, Victor.

You've got You've got

Young man, learn your vows.

Your coat.

Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine.

Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine.

Your cup will never empty.

Your cup will never empty...

Your cup...

Your dowry. It's my right!

Your hands are too fat, and his neck is too thin.

Your lady wife is a most fortunate woman.

A little of that A little of this

A new arrival. He must've fainted.

According to plan Our daughter will wed

According to plan Our family carried

Bounder! Sweetie pie.

But she still breathes air Who cares?

Cad! Gertrude!

Come on, dear. It's not me. It's my dress is caught.

No, no. Just a half. No, no. Just a half.

No! No. You do not?

Now, all you have to do is reel her in. I'm already reeling, Mother.

Of course not. Of course not.

Oh, I hope it doesn't stain. Stop fanning it, you fool.

Oh, it couldn't be worse couldn't be worse? I'm afraid I disagree

Oh, my nose. Sorry.

Oh, well, if you put it like that. What?

Overrated Overblown

Overrated Overblown

Overvalued Overblown

Perfect. I won't be long.

Shall I get up there and do it for him? Don't get all aflutter, dear.

She waited And then?

Silly, isn't it? Yes, silly.

So glad you thought of this. Me too.

Sounds creepy. Let's go!

Thank you. Thank you.

They're so common So coarse

This boy doesn't want to get married. How disgraceful!

To the noble realm Of our ancestry

Unimportant Overrated
