- [as he leads Christine down the tunnels of the opera]
- The Phantom: [sings] Sing once again with me our strange duet. / My power over you grows stronger yet. / And though you turn from me to glance behind, / The Phantom of the Opera is there, inside your mind.
- Christine: Pitiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known? God, give me courage to show you you are not alone!
- [kisses the Phantom]
- The Phantom: Did I NOT instruct that Box 5 was to be left empty?
- Meg Giry: He's here, the phantom of the opera!
- Christine: It's him!
- Carlotta: Your part is silent, little toad!
- The Phantom: A toad, madam? Perhaps it is you who are the toad...
- The Phantom: You have come here, in pursuit of your deepest urge. In pursuit of that wish which 'til now has been silent... SILENT! I have brought you, that our passions may fuse and merge. In your mind you've already sucummed to me. Dropped all defenses, completely sucummed to me. Now you are here with me. No second thoughts. You've decided... DECIDED! Past the point of no return. No backward glances... our games of make-believe are at an end! Past all thought of if or when. No use resisting... abandon thought and let the dream descend! What raging fire shall flood the soul? What rich desires unlock its door? What sweet seductions lie before us? Past the point of no return. The final threshold... what warm unspoken secrets will we learn? Beyond the point of no... return!
- The Phantom: You've past the point of no return.
- Christine: [singing] Angel of music you deceived me.
- [Speaks]
- Christine: I gave you my mind blindly.
- The Phantom: You try my patience make your choice.
- [tightens the rope around raoul's neck]
- Christine: [sings] Pitiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known? God give me courage to show you, you are not alone.
- [kisses the phantom]
- The Phantom: Flattering child, you shall know me, see why in shadow I hide! Look at your face in the mirror
- [magically appears in the mirror]
- The Phantom: - I am there inside!
- The Phantom: Seal my fate tonight. I hate to have to cut the fun short, but the joke's wearing thin. Let the audience in. Let my opera BEGIN!
- The Phantom: That fate which condemns me to wallow in blood has also denied me the joys of the flesh. This face - the infection which poisons our love. This face which earned a mother's fear and loathing, a mask: my first unfeeling scrap of clothing. Pity comes too late, turn around and face your fate, an eternity of *this* before your eyes!
- Christine Daaé: [sung] In sleep, he sang to me. In dreams, he came. That voice which calls to me and speaks my name. And do I dream again? For now I find the Phantom of the Opera is there, inside my mind.
- The Phantom: But Christine - fear can turn to love. You'll learn to see, to find the man behind the monster, this... repulsive carcass who seems a beast but secretly dreams of beauty secretly... secretly. Oh, Christine.
- The Phantom: Say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Lead me, save me from my solitude. Say you'll want me with you here beside you. Anywhere you go, let me go too. Christine, that's all I ask of...
- [Christine pulls off his mask]
- Christine: Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned. Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind. Recall those days, look back on all those times, think of the things we'll never do - there will never be a day, when I won't think of you.
- The Phantom: [singing as he descends the staircase at the Masquerade Ball] Why so silent, good monsieurs? Did you think that I had left you for good? Have you missed me, good monsieurs? I have written you an opera! Here I bring the finished score - Don Juan Triumphant! Fondest greetings to you all. A few instructions now before rehearsals start: Carlotta must be taught to act, not her normal trick of strutting 'round the stage. Our Don Juan must lose some weight; it's not healthy in a man of Piangi's age. And my managers must learn that their place is in an office! not the arts. As for our star, Miss Christine Daae... no doubt she'll do her best. It's true her voice is good; she knows, though, should she wish to excel, she has much still to learn, if pride will let her return to me, her teacher... her teacher.
- Christine: [sung] But his voice filled my spirit with a strange, sweet sound. In that night there was music in my mind. And through music my soul began to soar! And I heard as I'd never heard before.
- Raoul: [sung] What you heard was a dream and nothing more.
- Christine: [sung] Yet in his eyes, all the sadness of the world. Those pleading eyes, that both threaten and adore...
- The Phantom: Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair! Down we plunge to the prison of my mind! Down that path into darkness deep as Hell! Why, you ask, was I bound and chained in this cold and dismal place? Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face!
- Christine: Yet in his eyes, all the sadness of the world... Those pleading eyes that both threaten and adore...
- Christine Daaé: The tears I might have shed for your dark fate / grow cold and turn to tears of *hate*!
- [as they travel to the Phantom's lair]
- Christine Daaé: Those who have seen your face draw back in fear. I am the mask you wear...
- The Phantom: It's me they hear...
- Christine Daaé, The Phantom: Your/my spirit and my/your voice in one combined. The Phantom of the Opera is there, inside my/your mind.
- The Phantom: [sung] Christine Daae has returned to you, and I am anxious her career should progress. In the new production of "Il Muto", you will therefore cast Carlotta... as the Pageboy, and put Ms. Daae in the role of Countess. The role which Ms. Daae plays calls for charm and appeal. The role of the Pageboy is silent, which makes my casting- in a word... ideal.
- [spoken]
- The Phantom: I shall watch the performance from my normal seat in Box Five, which *will* be kept empty for me. Should these commands be ignored, a disaster beyond your imaginations will occur. I remain, gentlemen, you obedient servant. O. G.
- [last lines]
- The Phantom: [sung] You alone can make my song take flight. It's over now, the music of the night.
- Christine: Raoul, I've seen him! Can I ever forget that sight? Can I ever escape from that face? So distorted, deformed, it was hardly a face... But his voice filled my spirit with a strange, sweet sound. In that night there was music in my mind... And through music my soul began to soar! And I heard as I'd never heard before.
- Raoul: What you heard was a dream and nothing more.
- Raoul: [Desperate] Free her! Do what you like only free her! Have you no pity?
- The Phantom: [to Christine, mocking and humourous] Your lover makes a passionate plea.
- Raoul: I love her! Does that mean nothing? I love her! Show some compassion...
- The Phantom: [Suddenly enraged] The world showed no compassion to me!
- The Phantom: [singing] Too long you've wandered in winter, far from my fathering gaze...
- Christine: [singing] Wildly, my mind beats against you
- The Phantom: [singing] You resist...
- The Phantom: [singing in unison] ... yet your soul obeys!
- Christine: [singing in unison] ... yet the soul obeys!
- The Phantom: [singing in unison] Angel of music, you denied me...
- Christine: [singing in unison] Angel of music, I denied you...
- The Phantom, Christine: [singing in unison] ... turning from true beauty!
- The Phantom: [singing in unison] Angel of music, do not shun me...
- Christine: [singing in unison] Angel of music, my protector...
- The Phantom: [singing in unison] ... come to your strange Angel!
- Christine: [singing in unison] ... come to me, strange Angel!
- Christine Daaé: Past the point of no return - no going back now. Our passion play has now at last begun. Past all thought of right or wrong. One final question: how long should we two wait, before we're one? When will the blood begin to race? The sleeping bud burst into bloom? When will the flames, at last, consume us?
- The Phantom: Wandering child, so lost, so helpless, yearning for my guidance.
- Christine: Angel or father? Friend of phantom? Who is it there staring?
- The Phantom: Have you forgotten your Angel?
- Christine: Angel oh speak, what endless longings? Echoing this whisper.
- The Phantom: Too long you've waundered in winter. Far from my fathering gaze.
- Christine: Wildly my mind beats against you...
- The Phantom: You resist...
- The Phantom, Christine: Yet/but your/the soul obeys...
- The Phantom, Christine: Angel of Music,you/I denied me/you. Turning from true beauty! Angel of Music, do not shun me/my protector come to your/me, strange Angel!
- The Phantom: I am your Angel of Music... Come to me, Angel of Music.
- The Phantom: I gave you my music... made your song take wing... and now, how you've repaid me: denied me and betrayed me. He was bound to love you when he heard you sing... Christine... Christine...
- The Phantom: That fate which condemns me to wallow in blood has also denied me the joys of the flesh this face-the infection which poisons our love. This face which earned a mother's fear and loathing, a mask my first unfeeling scrap of clothing. Pity comes too late, turn around and face your fate, an eternity of *this* before your eyes!
- Christine: I remember... there was mist. Swirling mist upon a vast glassy lake... There were candles all around, and on the lake there was a boat... And in the boat, there was a man.
- [walks over to the Phantom, at his organ]
- Christine: Who was that shape in the shadows? Whose is that face in the mask?
- [touches his face and rips of mask]
- The Phantom: [covers face] Damn you! You little prying Pandora! You little demon! Is this what you wanted to see? Curse you! You little lying Delilah! You little *viper*! Now you cannot ever be free! Damn you! Curse you!
- [now sad]
- The Phantom: Stranger than you dreamt it, can you even bear to look, or dare to think of me?... This lonesome gargoyle who burns in hell but secretly yearns for heaven secretly, secretly but Christine... fear can turn to love you'll learn to see to find the man behind the monster this... repulsive carcass that seems a beast but secretly dreams of beauty secretly, secretly...
- [crying]
- The Phantom: Oh, Christine.
- [Christine hands him the mask]
- The Phantom: Come. We must return. Those two fools who run my theater will be missing you.
- The Phantom: Let your mind start a journey to a strange new world! Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before! Let your soul take you where you long to be! Only then can you belong to me...
- Christine Daaé: Twisted every way, what answer can I give?/Am I to risk my life to win the chance to live?/Can I betray the man who once inspired my voice?/Do I become his prey?/Do I have any choice?/He kills without a thought/He murders all that's good/I know I can't refuse/And yet, I wish I could/Oh God, if I agree, what horrors wait for me/In this, the Phantom's opera...
- The Phantom: [singing, brokenly] Masquerade... paper faces on parade. Masquerade... hide your face, so the world will never find you...
- [Christine appears at his side, gives him her ring]
- The Phantom: [heartbroken] Christine, I love you...
- The Phantom: Hounded out by everyone! Met with hatred everywhere! No kind word from anyone! No compassion anywhere! Christine! Why? Why?
- Auctioneer: Lot 666 then, ladies and gentlemen: a chandelier, in pieces. Some of you may recall the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera, a mystery never fully explained. Our workshops have repaired it and wired parts for the new electric lights. Perhaps we can frighten the ghosts of so many years ago... with a little illumination. Gentlemen!
- Christine: What I once used to dream, I now dread / If he finds me, it won't ever end / And he'll always be there, singing songs in my head / He'll always be there, singing songs in my head.
- [as she attempts to leave the first time]
- Carlotta: Andiamo. Tutti. No, es finito. Is finished. Get my doggy, bring my doggy. Bye-bye. Bye-bye, dancing girls. Bye-bye. See you later, because I'm going now. It is finished. See you later.
- The Phantom: Take her, forget me, forget all of this. Leave me alone, forget all you've seen. Go now, don't let them find you. Take the boat, swear to me never to tell. The secrets you know, of the Angel in Hell. GO NOW! GO NOW AND LEAVE ME.
- The Phantom: [Mockingly to Raoul] Order your fine horses now! Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes! Nothing can save you now - except perhaps Christine.
- [to Christine]
- The Phantom: Start a new life with me - buy his freedom with your love! Refuse me, and you send your lover to his death! This is the choice!
- The Phantom: [to Christine, as he sees Raoul, come to rescue her] Wait! I think my dear, we have a guest. Sir,
- Christine: Raoul!
- The Phantom: this is indeed an *unparalleled* delight. I had rather hoped that you would come. And now, my wish comes true, you have joined and made my night.
- Christine: [Struggling to get away from the Phantom who has drawn her to his side] Let me go!
- Raoul: Free her! Do what you like only free her! Have you no pity?
- The Phantom: [Mockingly to Christine] Your lover makes a passionate plea!
- Christine: Please Raoul it's useless.
- Raoul: I love her! Does that mean nothing I love her! Show some compassion!
- The Phantom: [shouts] The world showed no compassion to me!
- Raoul: Christine, Christine, let me see her.
- The Phantom: Be my guest, sir.
- Andre: [in a note to Raoul from the Phantom] "Do not fear for Miss Daae. The Angel of Music has her under his wing. Make no attempt to see her again."
- The Phantom: This face, which earned a mother's fear and loathing, a mask, my first unfeeling scrap of clothing...
