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!
