If he only knew
The you that we know
And that silly little creature
Isn't wearing his ring
And she doesn't play piano Or dance, or sing
No, she doesn't compare
But she still breathes air
Who cares?
Unimportant
Overrated
Overblown
lf only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew
The you that we know
If I touch a burning candle
I can feel no pain
If you cut me with a knife
It's still the same
And I know her heart is beating
And I know that I am dead
Yet the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
And it seems that I still have
A tear to shed
The sole redeeming feature
From that little creature
Is that she's alive
- Overrated
Overblown
Everybody knows
That's just a temporary state
Which is cured very quickly
When we meet our fate
- Who cares?
Unimportant
- Overrated
Overblown
If only he could see
How special you can be
If he only knew
The you that we know
If I touch a burning candle
I can feel no pain
In the ice or in the sun
It's all the same
Yet I feel my heart is aching
Though it doesn't beat, it's breaking
And the pain here that I feel
Try and tell me it's not real
I know that I am dead
Yet it seems that I still have
Some tears to shed
It's true, Mother!
Victor is married to a dead woman.
I saw her. A corpse!
Standing right here with Victor.
Victor was in your room?
I have to help him.
The scandal!
Come sit in your chair, dearie.
You're shaking like a leaf.
Let Hilde fetch you a blanket.
Fetch her a straitjacket!
She's completely mad!
Come, Hildegarde.
Finis, come to bed at once.
What in heaven's name?
Who could that be at this hour?
Miss Everglot.
What are you doing here? You should be at home, prostrate with grief.
Pastor Galswells,I have to ask you something.
This is most irregular.
Please, I beg of you.
You are the only one in the village who knows of what awaits beyond the grave.
A grim topic for a bride-to-be.
It is a bride I fear,which is why I must know:
Can the living marry the dead?
What on earth are you speaking about?
Please, it's Victor.
He's married to a corpse.
He has a corpse bride!
There must be some way to undo what's been done.
I believe I know the thing to do.
Come with me.
Victoria? Where are your corsets?
She's speaking in tongues.
Of unholy alliances.
Her mind has come undone, I fear.
It's not true! Let me go! Let me go!
Thank you, Pastor Galswells.
Thank you so very much.
Take her to her room!
No, I'm telling the truth.
Victor needs my help.
Hildegarde, you believe me, don't you?
- Mother, Father, please.
- Seal the doors......and bar the windows. See to it that she doesn't escape again.
He needs our help! Oh, let me go!
Let me go!
Will the mortification never cease?
It will be years before we can show ourselves in public again.
What shall we do?
We shall continue as planned,with or without Vincent.
- Victor.
Whatever.
For that boy to toss aside a young woman like Victoria......it's positively criminal.
Why, if I had a woman like your daughter on my arm......I would lavish her with riches befitting royalty.
Your lady wife is a most fortunate woman.
Alas, I am not married.
I was betrothed some years ago......but tragedy snatched my young bride away.
When one lives alone,wealth counts for naught.
Marvelous news, Victoria,there'll be a wedding after all.You found him?
Make haste, my dear,our relatives will arrive at any moment.
We must have you looking presentable for Lord Barkis.
Lord Barkis?
He will make a fine husband.
Aye. A fortuitous turn of events indeed.
A far better prospect this time.
But I do not love him.
You cannot make me do this.
We must.
Please, I beg of you.
There must be another way.
Without your marriage to Lord Barkis......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? It 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?
I think he's trying to kill us.
I......think you dropped this.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I lied to you
about wanting to see my parents.
It's just this whole day
hasn't gone quite, well...
...according to plan.
Pardon my enthusiasm.
I 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.
It 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...
I'm so sorry.
Oh, yeah. Actually, though, I feel great.
Hurry up, boys. Can you not see the gentleman is parched?
Mayhew, I 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...
I 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, I suppose.
Speaking of picking up the pieces?
Victor? Where are you going?
Miss Victoria, we must leave for the church now.
Yesterday I thought my wedding would be happy.
Now I feel like I'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, I will light your way in darkness.
With this ring,
I ask you to be mine.
I now pronounce you man and wife.
Oh, oh, dear.
I'm too late.
Oh, Mrs. Plum, what am I to do?
He just walked off without saying a word. Are all men like this?
Well, I'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.
I don't understand.
The vows are binding only until death do you part.
What are you saying?
Death has already parted you.
If 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.
It requires the greatest sacrifice.
You have only to suffer this union until death do us part.
