An unfortunate event/Piano duet

This is how An unfortunate event and Piano duet goes in Mac Grimborn Meets the Corpse Bride.

[Back in the Land of the Living, Victoria attempts at convincing her mother]

Victoria Everglot: It's true, Mother! Victor is married to a dead woman! I saw her, a corpse, standing right here with Victor!

Maudeline Everglot: Victor was in your room?

Victoria Everglot: I have to help him.

Maudeline Everglot: The scandal!

Hildegarde: Come sit in your chair, dearie. You're shaking like a leaf. Let Hilde fetch you a blanket.

Maudeline Everglot: Fetch her a straightjacket! She's completely mad! [walks off] Come, Hildegarde. [closes the door and locks it up]

[Victoria opens her window and gets her cloak as she sneaks out, but nearly falls off]

Maudeline Everglot: [offscreen] Finis, come to bed at once!

[Finis goes off as Victoria lands and heads to the church as she knocks on the door]

Pastor Galswells: What in Heaven's name? Who could that be at this hour? [opens the door] Miss Everglot. What are you doing here? You should be at home, prostrate with grief.

Victoria Everglot: Pastor Galswells, I have to ask you something.

Pastor Galswells: This is most irregular.

Victoria Everglot: Please, I beg of you. [enters the church] You are the only one in the village who knows what lies beyond the grave.

Pastor Galswells: A grim topic for a bride-to-be.

Victoria Everglot: It is a bride I fear, which is why I must know. Can the living marry the dead?

[Galswells is terrified as lightning strikes]

Pastor Galswells: What on Earth are you speaking about?

Victoria Everglot: Please, it's Victor! He's married to a corpse. He has a Corpse Bride! There must be some way to undo what has been done.

Pastor Galswells: I believe I know the thing to do. Come with me.

[He douses the candlelight as he escorts Victoria back to her mansion]

Maudeline Everglot: Victoria? Where are your corsets?

Pastor Galswells: She's speaking in tongues. Of unholy alliances. Her mind has come undone, I fear.

Victoria Everglot: It's not true! Let me go! Let me go!

Maudeline Everglot: Thank you, Pastor Galswells. Thank you so very much. [closes the door] Take her to her room!

Victoria Everglot: No, I'm telling the truth! Victor and the Omega Squad need my help. Hildegarde, you believe me, don't you? Father, mother, please.

Maudeline Everglot: Seal the doors and bar the windows. See to it that she doesn't escape again.

Victoria Everglot: They need our help! Let me go, let me go!

[From the walls, Misty overhears]

Maudeline Everglot: Will the mortification never cease? It will be years before we can show ourselves in public again. What shall we do?

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

Maudeline Everglot: Victor.

Finis Everglot: Whatever.

Misty Brightdawn: It seems so wrong for Victoria to end up with someone like Victor. But if Barkis had a woman like her, he could shower you with riches beyond your wildest dreams.

Maudeline Everglot: His lady wife is a most fortunate woman.

Misty Brightdawn: Yeah, he's not married. He was loved and betrothed a few years ago, but a beast killed his young bride. In some circumstances, poorness and loss counts for nothing.

[Finis and Maudeline get an idea as Victoria attempts to break the door, but hides the stick as her parents enter]

Finis Everglot: Marvelous news, Victoria, there'll be a wedding after all.

Victoria Everglot: You found him?

Maudeline Everglot: Make haste, my dear, our relatives will be arriving here shortly, we will have to make you presentable for Lord Barkis.

[Victoria drops the stick]

Victoria Everglot: Lord Barkis?

Maudeline Everglot: He will make a fine husband.

Finis Everglot: Aye. A fortuitous turn of events indeed.

Maudeline Everglot: A far better prospect this time.

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

Finis Everglot: We must.

Victoria Everglot: Please, I beg of you. There must be another way.

Finis Everglot: Without your marriage to Lord Barkis, we will be put out on the streets. We are desolate.

Victoria Everglot: But Victor--

Maudeline Everglot: Victor Van Dort is gone, child.

Finis Everglot: You shall marry Lord Barkis tomorrow.

[They walk out]

Finis and Maudeline Everglot: According to plan!

[They slam the door and leave as Misty reports to the Overlord]

Misty Brightdawn: They agreed to give Barkis Victoria's hand in marriage, Your Lordship.

The Overlord: Excellent, Misty.

The Mechanic: There's a chance she'll have to suffer this union until death do they part.

Pythor: Which will come sooner than she thinks.

[We then see the Van Dorts' carriage bearing Victor's face]

Nell Van Dort: [offscreen] Oh, it's almost dawn! Where could he be?!

Town crier: Victor Van Dort elopes with corpse! Our broken bride to wed wealthy newcomer!

Nell Van Dort: Wealthy newcomer? It cannot be!

William Van Dort: Did he say corpse?

Nell Van Dort: Oh, don't be ridiculous. What corpse would marry our Victor? [hears Mayhew coughing] Oh, Mayhew! Silence that blasted coughing!

[Mayhew's violent coughing continues until he collapses on the bridge]

Nell Van Dort: Mayhew, are you trying to kill us? I think he's trying to kill us.

[Back in the Land of the Dead, Scraps leads Victor and our heroes to Bonejangles' club as he drops Emily's blue roses]

Janja: Okay, let's do this thing.

Victor Van Dort: [sighs]

[Mac gets the roses as he and the others enter the club and find Emily playing the piano]

Mac Grimborn: I think you dropped these.

[Emily ignores him as she keeps playing]

Mac Grimborn: Look, we're sorry for lying to know about Victor wanting to see his parents. It's just that this whole day didn't go according to plan.

[Mac sits down and plays some notes as Emily glares sourly at him]

[Emily continues playing as Mac plays beautiful notes and Emily plays along until her skeletal hand comes off and jumps on Mac's shoulder]

Emily: Pardon my enthusiasm.

Mac Grimborn: I like your enthusiasm. [places her hand back on]

[They all the hear the bell ringing]

Mrs. Plum: New arrival! New arrival!

Corpse: Lights up!

Kiara: What's going on?

Skeleton: Someone died.

Paul: Hurry up, boys! Bonjour! Drinks for everyone! [to Mac] Another pint, sir?

Mac Grimborn: I'll take four.

Paul: [whistles]

[The bugs deliver four pints, but Paul is knocked down]

Paul: It is impossible to get good help anymore.

Mrs. Plum: Welcoming committee coming through, coming through! [holds Mayhew's hand] My name is Plum, Miss Plum.

Victor Van Dort: Mayhew?

[Mac approaches Mayhew and turns him around]

Mac Grimborn: I'm so sorry.

Mayhew: Oh, yeah. Actually, though, I feel great. [inhales and breathes deeply]

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

[Mayhew gets his pint and drinks it]

Victor Van Dort: Mayhew, I have to get back. They all must be worried sick. How is everyone?

Mayhew: Well, they're still wondering where you slipped off to. Oh, and Miss Victoria...

Kion: Go on, how is she?

Mayhew: Well, she's getting married this evening.

[Kiara spits her pint]

Kiara: What? Married to who?

Mayhew: Some newcomer, Lord Somebody-or-Other.

Pipp Petals: But that's impossible!

Mayhew: Yeah, with you gone and all... I guess they didn't wanna waste the cake.

Victor Van Dort: [sighs] But how could she?

Skeleton: Women, you can't live with them. You can't live with-- [hiccups as he collapses into little pieces on the floor]

Mayhew: Time to pick up the pieces and-- You know, and move on, I suppose.

Skeleton: Oy. Speaking of picking up the pieces?

[But Victor leaves without a word]

Emily: Victor? Where are you going?

Fuli: He'll be fine, Emily. He just needs time to be himself.

[They hear something on the radio]

Mac Grimborn: What's that sound on the radio?

[Bonejangles turns it up]

Umarak: [on radio] Wow. So that's how Mac predicted Order 66.

Captain Rex: [on radio] It sure was, sir. He tried to warn me about the Clone Wars, the Jedi Code and the inhibitor chips, but I didn't understand at the time.

Umarak: [on radio] And your Republic records say that he left the Jedi and the Sith to make his own legend?

Captain Rex: [on radio] He was one of the Jedi that don't agree with their principles, like Count Dooku and General Krell.

Umarak: [on radio] That must be how they started too.

Captain Rex: [on radio] I guess so.

Janja: Umarak and Rex are in England? But why?

Kovu: That's what I'd like to know.

[Emily becomes surprised upon learning of this]

Emily: Umarak?

Kion: How do you know him?

Emily: He was my groom.

Mac Grimborn: What?!

Kiara: How is that even possible?

Emily: It's a long story.

Kalmaar: And a story I'd love to hear. Chapter and verse, please.

Aspheera: Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.

[Zipp has memories of her mother]
