Album: Side Show Soundtrack

Beautiful Day for a Wedding

The Boss:
Love
We love stories of love and romance
Love created in song and in dance
Any reminder there's always a chance
Love could transform our lives
Love, love
Tickets, tickets
Right this way
Wedding show today
Wedding, wedding
Right this way
See the show today
See the groom
See the bride
See her sister
By her side

The Boss & Hawkers:
See them wed
After noon
See who'll share their honeymoon
Here, right here
Get a wedding souvenir
Remember this day
Remember this freak show
With a wedding momento
In honor of the twins
Double hot dogs joined in a bun
Get 'em hot
Two for one

Hawker:
I've got the best
You only have to ask
Get a two-headed twin mask

The Boss:
What a beautiful day for a wedding
What an event to view
What a story to tell your children
'Cause next to the day
You became man and wife
You'll remember this wedding for the rest of your life
Love
We love stories of love and romance
Love created in song and in dance
Any reminder there's always a chance
Love could transform our lives
Love, love

Jake goes to see Daisy and Violet before the ceremony...

Jake:
Violet, I always knew
You'd make a beautiful bride

Violet:
Thank you, Jake
You're very kind

Jake:
I've made up my mind
I'm leaving

Violet:
Leaving?

Daisy:
For where?

Jake:
A friend had a place in Chicago
Serving blues late into the night
Wants me to help with performers
Thanks to you
I think I'll do alright
Why not go

Daisy:
But we need you

Violet:
Don't leave now

Jake:
No, Violet, no
I have to say no to you

Daisy:
Jake, you're the only one who always cared

Violet:
Thank you for the love you shared

Jake:
We were good for each other
All the way around
You will fare well

Buddy and Terry enter...

Terry:
Happy wedding day

Buddy:
What a crowd out there

Violet:
Buddy, go away
Bad luck if you see me today

Terry:
Old wives tales don't apply

Violet:
Get out, Buddy
Goodbye

Terry:
Is something wrong?

Daisy:
Jake's leaving

Violet:
He's got a job in Chicago

Terry:
Jake's not going anywhere

Jake:
This doesn't concern you

Terry:
What concerns them concerns me

Jake:
You only care how big headlines will be

Terry:
I don't need this
Go ahead, leave
Good riddance

Jake:
When I'm good and ready

Terry:
Your timing is lousy

Jake:
I don't play by your script

Terry:
Then go, Jake

Jake:
Don't tell me what to do

Terry:
I call the shots here

Jake:
Not anymore

Violet:
Stop it, you two
Not on my wedding day

Jake:
I'm sorry.
Buddy, you be good to Violet.
She deserves better.

Buddy:
Hey, now wait just a minute...

Jake:
I'm waiting for you to tell the truth!

Terry:
Get out of here.

Jake:
If you hurt her
I will hunt you down

Jake leaves...

Terry:
What was that all about?

Daisy:
He loves her
He truly does

Terry:
What?

Buddy:
He's right, Violet
You deserve better

Terry:
Buddy...

Buddy:
I've tried
But I'm playing a part
I've tried
And it's breaking my heart

Violet:
You don't love me?

Buddy:
I do, Violet
But not the way you want
I'm not that strong of a man

Violet:
But you're the man I love

Buddy:
You should be loved
By someone like Jake
Somebody strong
Who's able to take
Whatever comes along
Sharing life with two
Is more than I can do
If only I'd known it before
Loving you is more than I bargained for

Terry:
Come on, Buddy.
You get a hold of yourself.

Buddy:
I have!

Terry:
Daisy, talk to him!
God damn it, this wedding is going to happen!

While all of this is going on, a man suddenly interrupts...

Tod Browning:
Excuse me.

Terry:
No one is allowed back here!

Browning:
Terry Connor?

Terry:
What?

Browning:
Tod Browning, from MGM.

Terry:
Mr. Browning...

Daisy:
The movie director?

Browning:
You must be the Hilton sisters.
Lovely, lovely.

Buddy:
I'm Buddy Foster.
I'm the groom.

Violet:
No you're not!
No you're not!
The wedding's off.

Terry:
Violet...

Browning:
Did I understand you correctly?

Violet:
Yes, you did.

Browning:
That's a shame!
I came all the way from Hollywood.
I intended to offer you roles in my new film.

Daisy:
Oh, well we can still be in your film!

Browning:
I don't know, without the publicity from the wedding.
