"Remains of the Day"/Barkis' talk with the Crystal Council

This is how "Remains of the Day" and Barkis' talk with the Crystal Council goes in Mac Grimborn Meets the Corpse Bride.

[In the Land of the Dead, Victor and our heroes wake up]

Alfred: New arrivals.

Nemo: What happened to them, Emily?

Emily: They must've fainted. Are you alright?

Kai: Yeah. What happened?

Alfred: By Jove, man. Looks like we've got ourselves breathers.

Rani: Excuse me?

Mrs. Plum: Do they have dead brothers?

Cutter: Nope, none of us do.

Skeleton Boy: They're still soft!

Vitani: Oh, brother.

General Bonesapart: A toast, then! To the newlyweds and to our honored guests.

Kovu: Newlyweds and honored guests? Does anyone wanna tell me what the heck is going on here?

Emily: In the woods, Victor said his vows so perfectly. [shows them the ring]

Kiburi: [gasps] Victor, do you realize what you've done? You fool, you married a Corpse Bride!

Victor Van Dort: I did?

Mzingo: Oh, dear, we have company. A head, no less.

Mr. E: Huh?

Paul: Bonjour! Coming through, coming through! My name is Paul, I am the head waiter. I will be creating your wedding feast.

Maggot: Wedding feast! I'm salivated.

Cheezi: Where'd that come from?!

[Emily slams her eye back on]

Emily: Maggots. [giggles]

[Mac ignites the Darksaber]

Mac Grimborn: Back off! I want some questions now!

General Bonesapart: Answers. I think you mean answers.

Mac Grimborn: Whatever. [to Emily] I need answers. What's going on here? Where are we? Who are you?

Emily: Well, that's kind of a long story.

Bonejangles: What a story it is.

[They see him]

Bonejangles: A tragic tale of romance, passion and murder most foul!

Fuli: Is he serious?

Ono: Apparently so.

General Bonesapart: This is gonna be good.

Bonejangles: Hit it, boys.

[The light turns green as Bonejangles bonks skeletons' skulls and another plays a piano]

**Bonejangles:**

Hey! Give me a listen you corpses of cheer

At least those of you who still got an ear

I'll tell you a story that'll make a skeleton cry

Of our own jubiliciously lovely Corpse Bride

**Chorus:**

Die, die, we all pass away

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

You might try and hide

And you might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

**Bonejangles:**

Well, our girl was a beauty known for miles around

Til a mysterious stranger came into town

He was plenty good-looking, but down on his cash

And our poor little baby she fell hard and fast

When her daddy said no, she just couldn't cope

So our lovers came up with a plan to elope

**Chorus:**

Die, die, we all pass away

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

You might try and hide

And you might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

**Bonejangles:**

Oh, that's right

Okay, oh yeah

Come on, boys, pick it up

Yeah, like it

Okay, Chancy, take it

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Yo!)

Oh, that's nice

Yeah!

So they conjured up a plan to meet late at night

They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight

Now her mother's wedding dress fit like a glove

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

Except for a few things, or so I'm​ told

Like the family jewels and a satchel of gold

Then next to the graveyard by the old oak tree

On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three

She was ready to go, but where was he?

**Crowd:**

And then?

**Bonejangles:**

She waited

**Crowd:**

And then?

**Bonejangles:**

There in the shadows, was it her man?

**Crowd:**

And then?

**Bonejangles:**

Her little heart beat so loud

**Crowd:**

And then?

**Bonejangles:**

And then, baby, everything went black

Now when she opened her eyes she was dead as dust

Her jewels were missing and her heart was bust

So she made a vow lying under that tree

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

Always waiting for someone to ask for her hand

When out of the blue comes this groovy young man

Who vows forever to be by her side (Oh yeah, oh yeah)

And that's the story of our own Corpse Bride (Oh yeah, oh yeah)

**Chorus:**

Die, die, we all pass away

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

You might try and hide

And you might try and pray

But we all end up the remains of the day

**Bonejangles:**

Do-bop

E-do-bop

E-didly-bob-e-do-bop

Yeah

[Victor and the others leave as we cut to the Crystal Council]

[Misty has memories of Mac]

Past Mac Grimborn: Misty, don't do this. The Overlord is lying to you. I would never hurt the innocents.

The Overlord: What is it that troubles you, Misty?

Misty Brightdawn: It's just... [sighs] Never mind.

[They hear a knock]

The Overlord: Enter.

[Barkis enters the room]

Queen Opaline Arcana: Ah, Barkis. Was the room to your liking?

Barkis Bittern: Thank you, you are a most gracious hostess. Which is why it pains me to be the bearer of such bad news. [snaps his fingers as the town crier arrives] Would you care to repeat tonight's headline for us?

Town crier: Hear ye, hear ye! Victor Van Dort and the Omega Squad seen this night on the bridge in the arms of a mystery woman! The dark-haired temptress, Master Van Dort and his friends slipped away into the night! And now, the weather. Scattered showers--

Barkis Bittern: Enough! That will be all.

[The town crier leaves]

Pythor: All due respect, I rarely believe that Mac knows any women in England.

Barkis Bittern: Or so you thought. Do call if you need my assistance... in any way. [closes the doors]

Vangelis: [gasps] My nerves are so shot right now! This is a catastrophe! What should we so?

Mister F: I'll tell you what we should do! We should get them out so we can exact revenge, that's what we should do! Fetch me my blaster!

The Mechanic: Hey, the town crier's probably a slow news these days. You know how it is, you just need a little something to cry about.

Misty Brightdawn: Nevertheless, the town's short one groom for the wedding tomorrow. Not to mention the financial implications.

Queen Opaline Arcana: A most scandalous embarrassment for them all.

The Overlord: Nevertheless, this presents an opportunity.

Misty Brightdawn: It does?

The Overlord: Yes. Misty, Mister F, you will find a way to bring our enemies back here.

Mister F: For how long?

The Overlord: Enough for our revenge.

[They nod]
