( A statue of 'La Victoire Ailee' - the same as that
which tops the proscenium. It is twilight.
CHRISTINE and RAOUL rush on )
....................................................................
RAOUL
Why have you brought us here?

CHRISTINE
Don't take me back there!

RAOUL
We must return!

CHRISTINE
He'll kill me!

RAOUL
Be still now. . .

CHRISTINE
His eyes will find me there!

RAOUL
Christine, don't say that. . .

CHRISTINE
Those eyes that burn!

RAOUL
Don't even think it. . .

CHRlSTlNE
And if he has to kill
a thousand men-

RAOUL
Forget this waking nightmare. . .

CHRISTINE
The Phantom of the Opera will kill. . .

RAOUL
This phantom is a fable. . .
Believe me. . .
...............................................................................
CHRISTINE
. . .and kill again!

RAOUL
There is no Phantom of the Opera. . .

CHRISTINE
My God, who is this man. . .

RAOUL
My God, who is this man. . .

CHRISTINE
. . .who hunts to kill. . .?
RAOUL
. . .this mask of death. . .?

CHRISTINE
I can't escape from him. . .

RAOUL
Whose is this voice you hear. . .

CHRISTINE
. . .I never will!

RAOUL
. . .with every breath. . .?

BOTH
And in this
labyrinth,
where night is blind
the Phantom of the Opera
is here:
inside your/my mind. . .

RAOUL
There is no Phantom of the Opera. . .
.......................................................................
CHRISTINE
Raoul, I've been there -
to his world of
unending night. . .
To a world where
the daylight dissolves
into darkness. . .
darkness. . .

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,
in that darkness. . .
darkness. . .

( trancelike, then becoming more and more ecstatic )
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. . .

CHRISTINE
Yet in his eyes
all the sadness
of the world. . .
Those pleading eyes,
that both threaten
and adore. . .

RAOUL ( comforting )
Christine. . .
Christine. . .
.....................................
PHANTOM ( unseen, a ghostly echo of RAOUL's words )
Christine. . .

CHRISTINE
What was that?
