Death And The Maiden

[Primus pilus]

Looks like this maiden is about to cut a deal with the devil Jolly. Where does that leave Death?

 

[phlebas]

Have we had these before?

 

[Primus pilus]

Have we had these before?

That maiden looks an easy mark phlebas. Jolly is earning his stipend under false pretences there.

We may have. There's something familiar about her.

[Primus pilus]

Is this Death Jolly? Uniformed and armed with a carbine rather than a scythe?



Or is she simply one of phlebas’ women-in-peril in a bodice ripper?

Well, the maiden is certainly in some peril, it seems, but death may not be on this guy's mind.

Perhaps all she will suffer, then, is la petite mort ...

Rather looks like his way of saying : "Honey, I'm home!"

Series 22:


SOMEONE SAID A GIRL'S WEDDING IS THE BEST DAY OF HER LIFE. I WONDER ABOUT THE USE OF THE WORD "LIFE" HERE. AND WHY AM I WEARING THE VEIL? SURELY WE'VE GONE BEYOND THE VEIL, SO TO SPEAK. (THAT WAS A PLAY ON WORDS, IN CASE YOU MISSED IT.)

 

[Eulalia]

WHY AM I WEARING THE VEIL?

To show Death's still a virgin?

 

[Jollyrei]

To show Death's still a virgin?

I AM?


I MEAN, ER, OF COURSE I AM!! YOU'RE MY FIRST, MY ONLY...

This phrase gets a deeper meaning here:

“If anyone knows any reason these two should not be joined in matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace.”

"till Death us do part" rings a bit hollow too

 

[Loxuru]

"till Death us do part" rings a bit hollow too

Unless we have a runaway groom here!
