Black widow: (spoken) oh, those girls are ten a penny. you've got so much more. you've got.. you've got... you've got a wonderful personality!
Maggot: what does that wispy little brat have that you don't have double?
Widow: she can't hold a candle to the beauty of your smile.
Emily: how about a pulse?
M: overrated by a mile.
W: overvalued.
M: overblown.
M and w: if he only knew the you that we know.
Emily sighs.
W: and that silly little creature isn't wearing his ring.
M: and she doesn't play piano-
M and w: or dance-
M: or sing.
M and w: no, she doesn't compare.
Emily: but she still breathes air.
M and w: who cares?
M: unimportant.
W: overrated.
M: overblown.
M and w: if only he could see how special you can be. if he only knew the you that we know.
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, but i know that i am dead. yet the pain here that i feel, try and tell me it's not real. but it seems that i still have a tear to shed.
M: the sole redeeming feature from that little creature is that she's alive.
W: overrated!
M: overblown!
W: everybody knows that's just a temporary state, which is cured very quickly when we meet our fate.
M: who cares?
W: unimportant.
M: overrated.
W: overblown.
M and w: if only he could see how special you can be. if he only knew the you that we know.
Emily: if i touch a burning candle i can feel no pain. in the ice or in the sun it's all the same. yet i feel my heart is aching. though it doesn't beat, it's breaking. and the pain here that i feel, try and tell me it's not real. i know that i am dead... yet it seems that i still have some tears to shed.
