  • Ko-Ko: At last, my bride that is to be!
  • [about to embrace her]
  • Yum-Yum: [shocked] You're not going to kiss me before all these people?
  • Ko-Ko: I'm certainly not going to kiss you after them.
  • Yum-Yum: You're not going to kiss me before all these people?
  • Ko-Ko: I'm certainly not going to kiss you after them.
  • Yum-Yum: [to Pitti-Sing] Seems odd, don't it.
  • Pitti-Sing: It's rather peculiar.
  • Peep-Bo: I expect it's all right, must have a beginning you know.
  • Yum-Yum: Well, I know nothing about these things, but I've no objection if it's usual.
  • Ko-Ko: Oh it's quite usual, eh Minister of Fun?
  • Pooh-Bah: I have known it done. I have not banned it yet.
  • Ko-Ko: I? Marry Katisha?
  • Yum-Yum: I really think it's the only course.
  • Ko-Ko: But my good girl, have you SEEN HER? She's something appalling!
  • Yum-Yum: Darling, I love you with all my heart, I don't suppose I shall ever love anyone else half as much, but when I agreed to marry you, my own, I had no idea, pet, that I should have to buried alive in a month.
  • Nanki-Poo: Nor I, it's the first I've heard of it.
  • Yum-Yum: It makes a difference, don't it.
  • Nanki-Poo: It does make a difference.
  • Yum-Yum: You see, burial alive. It's such a stuffy death.
  • Nanki-Poo: I call it a beastly death.
  • Yum-Yum: You see my difficulty, don't you.
  • Nanki-Poo: Yes, and I see my own. If I insist on you carrying out your promise, I doom you to a hideous death but if I release you, you marry Ko-Ko at once.
  • Nanki-Poo: What if it should prove that after all I am no musician.
  • Yum-Yum: There! I was certain of it directly I heard you play.
  • Yum-Yum: Yes, I am indeed beautiful! Sometimes I sit and wonder, in my artless Japanese way, why it is that I am so much more attractive than anybody else in the whole world. Can this be vanity? No! Nature is lovely and rejoices in her loveliness. I am a child of Nature, and take after my mother.
  • Yum-Yum: You see, burial alive, it's such a stuffy death!
