Quotes 

• Victoria Everglot : Hildegard, what if Victor and I don't like each other?

  Maudeline Everglot : Hmpf! As if that has anything to do with marriage. Do you suppose your father and I "like" each other?

  Victoria Everglot : Surely you must, a little.

  Maudeline Everglot , Finnis Everglot : Of course not!

• Finnis Everglot : [as corpses run amuck]  If my grandfather Everglot could see this, he'd be turning in his grave.

  Grandfather Everglot : Finis.

  [next to a portrait of himself in life] 

  Grandfather Everglot : Where do you keep the spirits?

  [shakes wine glass] 

  Finnis Everglot , Maudeline : AAAAAAAHHHH!

• [Bonejangles creeps up behind Finnis; his eye falls into Finnis' bowl] 

  Finnis Everglot : There's an eye in me soup.

• [Victor has snuck away from the Corpse Bride to find Victoria and listens to the arguing Everglots] 

  Finnis Everglot : If ever I see that Van Dort boy, I'll strangle him with my bare hands!

  Maudeline Everglot : Your hands are too fat, and his neck is too thin. You'll have to use a rope.

• Maudeline Everglot : [speaking]  Marriage is a partnership, a little tit for tat; you'd think a lifetime watching us

  [singing] 

  Maudeline Everglot : might have taught her that, might have taught her that.

  Finnis Everglot : Everything must be perfect.

  Maudeline Everglot : Everything must be perfect.

  Maudeline Everglot , Finnis Everglot : Everything must be perfect, perfect!

  Maudeline Everglot , Finnis Everglot , Nell Van Dort , William Van Dort : That's why everything/every last everything/every single tiny microscopic little thing must go... According to plan!

• Maudeline Everglot : [singing]  It's a terrible day.

  Finnis Everglot : Now, don't be that way.

  Maudeline Everglot : It's a terrible day for a wedding.

  Finnis Everglot : It's a sad, sad state of affairs we're in.

  Maudeline Everglot : That has led to this ominous wedding.

  Finnis Everglot : How could our family have come to this?

  Maudeline Everglot , Finnis Everglot : To marry off our daughter to the nouveau riches?

  Maudeline Everglot : They're so common.

  Finnis Everglot : So coarse.

  Maudeline Everglot : Oh it couldn't be worse!

  Finnis Everglot : Couldn't be worse? I'm afraid I disagree. They could be land-rich bankrupt aristocracy without a penny to their name. Just like you and me.

  Maudeline Everglot : [speaking]  Oh, dear!

  Maudeline Everglot , Finnis Everglot : [singing]  And that's why everything, every last little thing, every single tiny microscopic little thing must go...

  Maudeline Everglot : According to plan!

  Finnis Everglot : Our daughter will wed.

  Maudeline Everglot : According to plan!

  Finnis Everglot : And our family led...

  Maudeline Everglot , Finnis Everglot : From the depths of deepest poverty...

  Maudeline Everglot : To the noble realm...

  Finnis Everglot : Of our ancestry.

  Maudeline Everglot , Finnis Everglot : And who would've guessed in a million years, that our daughter with the face...

  Finnis Everglot : Of an otter in disgrace...

  Maudeline Everglot , Finnis Everglot : Would provide our tickets to our rightful place?

• Finnis Everglot : [to Victor, who wants to put out the fire on Mrs. Everglot's dress]  Out of the way, you ninny!

• Maudeline Everglot : Good heavens, Finis, what should we do?

  Finnis Everglot : Fetch me musket!

• Maudeline Everglot : [to Finnis]  Smile, darling, smile.

  Finnis Everglot : [barely manages an extremely forced smile]  Well, hello. What a pleasure. Welcome to our home.

  Nell Van Dort : Oh, thank you.

  Maudeline Everglot : We'll be taking tea in the west drawing room. Oh, do come this way. It's just through there.

• Finnis Everglot : Marvelous news. There will be a wedding after all.

• Finnis Everglot : We shall continue as planned, with or without Vincent.

  Maudeline Everglot : Victor.

  Finnis Everglot : Whatever.
