Victoria Everglot
- 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!
- Victor Van Dort: Do forgive me.
- Victoria Everglot: You play beautifully.
- Victor Van Dort: I-I-I do apologise, Miss Everglot. How rude of me to... Well... Excuse me.
- Victoria Everglot: Mother won't let me near the piano. Music is improper for a young lady. "Too passionate", she says.
- Victor Van Dort: If I may ask, Miss Everglot... where is your chaperone?
- Victoria Everglot: Perhaps, in... in view of the circumstances... you could call me Victoria.
- Victor Van Dort: Yes, of course. Well... Victoria...
- Victoria Everglot: Yes, Victor...
- The Corpse Bride: [meeting Victoria] Darling, I just wanted to meet... Darling, who's this?
- Victoria Everglot: Who is she?
- The Corpse Bride: I'm his wife.
- [She proudly holds out her hand with the ring on it]
- Victoria Everglot: Victor?
- Victor Van Dort: Victoria, wait. You don't understand. She's dead. Look!
- Victoria Everglot: Since I was a child, I've dreamt of my wedding day. I always hoped to find someone I was deeply in love with. Someone to spend the rest of my life with. Silly, isn't it?
- Victor Van Dort: Yes, silly. No. No, not at all, no.
- Victoria Everglot: [knocks over a vase]
- Victor Van Dort: Oh, oh, dear. I'm sorry.
- Victor Van Dort: Tomorrow, Victoria, we are to be...
- [nervously twists his tie]
- Victor Van Dort: Mmmm... mmmm... mmmm...
- Victoria Everglot: [small giggle] ... married.
- Victor Van Dort: Yes, married.
- Victoria Everglot: Did things not go according to your plan, Lord Barkis? Well, perhaps in disappointment, we are perfectly matched.
- Victoria Everglot: Can the living marry the dead?
- 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's been done.
- Pastor Galswells: I believe I know the thing to do. Come with me.
- Maudeline Everglot: Take her to her room!
- Victoria Everglot: No, I'm telling the truth. Victor needs my help.
- [after escaping from the Corpse Bride, Victor finds Victoria]
- Victor Van Dort: Victoria.
- Victoria Everglot: Victor? I'm so happy to see you! Here, come by the fire. Where have you been? Are you all right?
- Victor Van Dort: I-I-oh, dear.
- Victoria Everglot: You're as cold as death! What happened to you? Your coat!
- Victor Van Dort: Victoria, I confess. This morning I was... terrified of marriage. But then, on meeting you, I... .felt I should be with you always, and that our wedding could not come soon enough!
- Victoria Everglot: Victor, I feel the same.
- [they lean in to kiss, but Victor spots the Corpse Bride]
- Victor Van Dort: Victoria, I s-s... I seem to find myself married. And you should know it's unexpected!
- Pastor Galswells: [holding a squirming Victoria] She is 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!
