Emily

I've spent so long in the darkness, I'd almost forgotten how...beautiful the moonlight is.

Emily

You kept your promise. You set me free. Now I can do the same for you.

Emily

I was a bride. My dreams were taken from me. But now - now I've stolen them from someone else. I love you, Victor, but you're not mine.

Emily

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.

Emily

Isn't the view beautiful? It takes my breath away. Well, it would if I had any.

Emily

We need to go up. Upstairs? To visit the land of the living.

Emily
[after her hand escapes her arm and dances up Victor's arm]

Pardon my enthusiasm.

Emily

If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain. In the ice or in the sun it's all the same. And I feel my heart is aching, though it doesn't beat it's breaking. Yet the pain here that I feel...try and tell me it's not real. And I know that I am dead. It seems that I still have some tears to shed.

Emily

Or perhaps he does belong with her, Little Miss Living, with her rosy cheeks and beating heart.

Emily

You lied to me! Just to get back to that other woman.

Don't you understand? You're the other woman.

Emily

No! You're married to me. She's the other woman! [starts crying]

[clears throat]

She's got a point.

Emily

And I thought...I thought this was going all so well! [continues crying, one of her eyes fall out]

Lord Barkis

Touche, my dear.

Emily
[glares at him]

Get out.

Lord Barkis

Oh, I'm leaving. [laughs evilly, then picks up the Wine of Ages] But first, a toast to Emily. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. Tell me, my dear, can a heart still break once it's stopped beating? Hmm? [laughs evilly one last time]

Let me at him! Let me at him! [Elder Gutknecht holds him back with his finger] No, don't-don't hold me back!

[to angry corpses]

Wait! We must abide by their rules! We are amongst the living.

Lord Barkis

Well said. [drinks the Wine of Ages and dies]

[amusing smile]

Not anymore!

[Barkis is turned into a corpse as his face's color changes to blue]

Yup, you're right. He's all yours.

Mrs. Plum
[The corpses laugh diabolically as they surround Barkis and drag him to the underworld]

New arrival. [closes the door]
