10. Sanctuary of song lovers,
Copy !req
11. The Paris Opera House, rising nobly over medieval torture chambers,
Copy !req
12. hidden dungeons, long forgotten.
Copy !req
13. Melody floats through hall and corridor,
Copy !req
14. even to the executive offices,
Copy !req
15. where a strange deal is being closed.
Copy !req
16. Now the Notary's seal, gentlemen,
Copy !req
17. and you are the fortunate new owners.
Copy !req
18. It is barely possible you may hear of a ghost,
Copy !req
19. a Phantom of the Opera!
Copy !req
20. The attendant of Box Five will not laugh
Copy !req
21. when you ask about the opera ghost!
Copy !req
22. You jest, Messieurs! We are not children!
Copy !req
23. Who occupies Box Five?
Copy !req
24. I do not know.
Copy !req
25. I have seen only the cloaked figure of a man
Copy !req
26. who hides his face and will not speak!
Copy !req
27. Is it the Phantom?
Copy !req
28. The Phantom! The Phantom is up from the cellars again!
Copy !req
29. We saw him for an instant... a gray shadow... and he was gone!
Copy !req
30. He had no nose!
Copy !req
31. Yes, he did, it was enormous!
Copy !req
32. That man came out of the cellars... just after we saw the Phantom.
Copy !req
33. Could it be that he...?
Copy !req
34. Joseph Buquet has really seen the Phantom! Let's ask him...
Copy !req
35. His eyes are ghastly beads in which there is no light...
Copy !req
36. like holes in a grinning skull!
Copy !req
37. His face is like leprous parchment,
Copy !req
38. yellow skin strung tight over protruding bones!
Copy !req
39. His nose... there is no nose!
Copy !req
40. Have a care, Buquet... ghosts like not to be seen or talked about!
Copy !req
41. Come, I'll show you where I saw him...
Copy !req
42. in the scene-dock of the third cellar.
Copy !req
43. I saw him there! A flash of shadow, and he was gone!
Copy !req
44. My daughter, Carlotta has been insulted!
Copy !req
45. She, the favorite prima donna of the Paris Opera!
Copy !req
46. Mlle Carlotte,
Copy !req
47. Christine Daaé will sing
the role of "Marguerite", Wednesday night!
Copy !req
48. Any jealous attempt on your part to interefere with the
performance will prove disastrous to your career.
Copy !req
49. The Phantom
Copy !req
50. "No ghost will frighten Carlotta!
Copy !req
51. Wednesday evening you will hear her singing!"
Copy !req
52. Wednesday night found Mlle.
Copy !req
53. Carlotta strangely ill, and Christine Daae singing "Marguerite'.
Copy !req
54. "What is this I hear about Christine favoring some mysterious admirer.
Copy !req
55. instead of you, Raoul?"
Copy !req
56. "Don't worry, my dear Brother-
Copy !req
57. nothing shall interfere with our love.
Copy !req
58. "I hear a lot of rumors, Raoul-be careful!"
Copy !req
59. "At last you have realized your ambition,
Copy !req
60. my darling, and now we shall be married."
Copy !req
61. "I can never leave the Opera, Raoul.
Copy !req
62. You must forget out love."
Copy !req
63. From hidden places beyond the walls a melodious voice,
Copy !req
64. like the voice of an angel, spoke to her.
Copy !req
65. "Christine tonight I placed the world at your feet!"
Copy !req
66. "To you I have imparted the full measure of my art.
Copy !req
67. You will triumph - all Paris will worship you!"
Copy !req
68. But I warn you, you must forget all worldly things and
Copy !req
69. think only of your career - and your Master!"
Copy !req
70. "Soon, Christine, this spirit will take form and command your love!"
Copy !req
71. "Call for me when you will. I shall be waiting."
Copy !req
72. In Mlle. Carolotta's correspondence there appeared another letter, edged in black!
Copy !req
73. Mlle Carlotta
If you appear tomorrow night you must be prepared for a great misfortune,
Copy !req
74. and therefore I advise you to be "ill"
The Phantom
Copy !req
75. "Christine Daae's friends are plotting again!
Copy !req
76. But my daughter shall sing tomorrow night, come what may!"
Copy !req
77. My dear Managers -
The role of "Marguerite" shall be sung again
Copy !req
78. tomorrow evening by Christine Daae, instead of Carlotta
The Phantom
Copy !req
79. P.S. If you refuse this you will present Faust
in a house with a curse on it.
Copy !req
80. Encouraged by her mother, Carlotta defied every warning,
Copy !req
81. and the following evening appeared as - "Marguerite'.
Copy !req
82. "So far so good - for a house with a curse on it!"
Copy !req
83. I cannot explain, but you must never intend to see me again. - Christine
Copy !req
84. "Beware! She is singing to bring down the chandelier!"
Copy !req
85. "Christine I have come for you -'
Copy !req
86. "I am ready, Master - waiting!"
Copy !req
87. Walk to your mirror, my dear — have no fear!"
Copy !req
88. "Christine, it is I - your Master!"
Copy !req
89. "Look not upon my mask -
Copy !req
90. think rather of my devotion which has brought you the gift of song."
Copy !req
91. A black lake, hidden from man and the sun,
Copy !req
92. leading to the Phantom's rendezvous.
Copy !req
93. "I have brought you here — five cellars underground -"
Copy !req
94. " - because I love you!"
Copy !req
95. "For long weary months I have awaited this hour!"
Copy !req
96. "So that which is good within me, aroused by your purity,
Copy !req
97. might plead for your love."
Copy !req
98. "That is where I sleep."
Copy !req
99. "It keeps me reminded of that other dreamless sleep that cures all ills - forever!"
Copy !req
100. "You - Your are the Phantom!"
Copy !req
101. "If I am the Phantom, it is because man's hatred has made me so."
Copy !req
102. "If I shall be saved, it will be because your love redeems me."
Copy !req
103. "Men once knew me as Erik, but for many years I have lived in these cellars,
Copy !req
104. a nameless legend."
Copy !req
105. Another Phantom Tragedy
Copy !req
106. Christine Daae Disappears
Copy !req
107. Opera Singer Mysteriously Vanishes Following Chandelier Disaster
Copy !req
108. The night passed - a night of vague horrors — tortured dreams—
Copy !req
109. Christine
Copy !req
110. My dear Christine
You are in no peril as
long as you do not touch my mask.
Copy !req
111. You will be free as long as your love
for the spirit of Erik
Copy !req
112. overcomes your fear.
Erik
Copy !req
113. Don Juan Triumphant
Copy !req
114. "Since first I saw your face, this music has been singing to me of you and of -
Copy !req
115. — love triumphant!"
Copy !req
116. "Yet listen — there sounds an ominous undercurrent of warning!"
Copy !req
117. "Feast, your eyes - glut your soul, on my accursed ugliness!"
Copy !req
118. "Oh, mad Christine, who would not heed my warning!"
Copy !req
119. "If you love me, as you say, let me go.
Copy !req
120. I promise to your slave forever!"
Copy !req
121. I shall prove tlo you the debth of my love.
Copy !req
122. You may return to your world for the present.
Copy !req
123. You may sing in the opera once more."
Copy !req
124. "But, remember, you are mine-mine-and you shall not see your lover again!
Copy !req
125. If you do, it is death to you both!"
Copy !req
126. "Oh, I swear it, I swear it! I shall never see him again!"
Copy !req
127. Although I gave my word never to see you again I must.
Copy !req
128. I will be at the Bal Masque tomorrow night,
Copy !req
129. but not alone beware!
Christine
Copy !req
130. One night each year, all Paris mingled, forgetful of caste—
Copy !req
131. the merry. Mad Bal Masque de l'Opera.
Copy !req
132. Into the midst of revelry, strode a spectral figure,
Copy !req
133. robed in red.
Copy !req
134. "Beneath your dancing feet are the tombs of tortured men-
Copy !req
135. this does the Red Death rebuke your merriment!"
Copy !req
136. High above Paris on the roof of the Opera!
Copy !req
137. Are we alone, Raoul? Can anyone overhear what we say?
Copy !req
138. I have seen him, Raoul! I have seen the Phantom!"
Copy !req
139. He is a monster- a loathsome beast!
Copy !req
140. You must saveme from him, Raoul!
Copy !req
141. Mlle. Carlotta, under the spell of his curse will never sing again.
Copy !req
142. Tomorrow I take her place in Faust.
Copy !req
143. After the performance you must take me away!"
Copy !req
144. I shall be at the stage door. We will flee to England.
Copy !req
145. She has betrayed me!
Copy !req
146. Not that way- this way!
Copy !req
147. That was the Opera ghost!
Copy !req
148. Born during the Boulevard Massacre
Self educated musican and master of Black Art
Copy !req
149. Exited to Devil's Island for criminal insane
Copy !req
150. This is your man. Monsleur le Prefect - The Phantom of the Opera!"
Copy !req
151. At nine o'clock the following evening a mysterious
Copy !req
152. barouche stopped on the rotunda side of the Opera.
Copy !req
153. Wait for me at the west gate.
Copy !req
154. I have heard his voice once more, Raoul.
Copy !req
155. He knows our plans — everything."
Copy !req
156. Believe in my love, Raoul. Save me from that monster - oh, save me!
Copy !req
157. My barouche is waiting outside.
Copy !req
158. We leave immediately after the performance!
Copy !req
159. Dry your tears, dear, and hasten —
Copy !req
160. you must make ready for your performance!
Copy !req
161. Come quick! The strangler's work again!
Copy !req
162. It was there!
Copy !req
163. I saw the body dangling in the air!
Copy !req
164. My brother — poor Joseph, he knew too much about the Phantom!
Copy !req
165. The Punjab lasso - the strangler's cord!
Copy !req
166. Assassin! Hide yourself in the deepest shadows
Copy !req
167. - but I shall find you out!
Copy !req
168. Fear for his brother's safety, brought Comte de Chagny
Copy !req
169. to the Opera house that night.
Copy !req
170. I think I can take you to Christine Daae
Copy !req
171. - if you do exactly as I tell you.
Copy !req
172. Who are you that knows the Phantom's secrets - and betrays them?
Copy !req
173. I am Ledoux of the Secret Police.
Copy !req
174. I have studied this Phantom for months.
Copy !req
175. I found his hiding place deep within the torture chambers where he himself
Copy !req
176. was confined during the second Revolution.
Copy !req
177. Keep your hand up- the strangler's noose coils quick!
Copy !req
178. Your hand up - it is a matter of life or death
Copy !req
179. The discovery of this trap-door cost Joseph Buquet his life.
Copy !req
180. I am a messenger from the shadows
Copy !req
181. — turn back ere ye perish!
Copy !req
182. You lied to me! Do you think you and
Copy !req
183. your lover could cheat the Phantom?
Copy !req
184. Ungrateful fool! You have spurned the spirit that inspired you
Copy !req
185. — the spirit that made you great!
Copy !req
186. Now, you shall see the evil spirit that makes my evil face!
Copy !req
187. No Longer like a toad in these foul cellarswill I secrete the venom of hatred -
Copy !req
188. - for you shall bring me love!
Copy !req
189. We should be within his hiding place, now.
Copy !req
190. We have fallen into the room of many mirrors-
Copy !req
191. - the old torture chamber!
Copy !req
192. I am human like other men -
Copy !req
193. - I will not be cheated of my happiness!
Copy !req
194. Raoul! Raoul! My Brother- where are you?
Copy !req
195. It seems we have callers.
Copy !req
196. Christine! Christine! Can you hear me?
Copy !req
197. Your voice sounds near-
Copy !req
198. Try to find a door that will lead to us.
Copy !req
199. Look about you - try to learn where he keeps the keys.
Copy !req
200. The callers have departed.
Copy !req
201. I have discovered the Phantom's hiding place
Copy !req
202. - tonight my brother will be avenged!
Copy !req
203. Did you hear voices?
Copy !req
204. Perhaps we have more callers.
Copy !req
205. Heat - intolerable heat!
Copy !req
206. Fools - do they think they can match their wits against Erik?
Copy !req
207. What do you offer for their lives?
Copy !req
208. Your answer. Quick - they can survive but a few moments!
Copy !req
209. Gunpowder!
Copy !req
210. You have your chance of saving him. Will you be the bride of Erik, or do you prefer to watch your lover die?
Copy !req
211. Will you be the bride of Erik,
Copy !req
212. or do you prefer to watch your lover die?
Copy !req
213. If you turn the Scorpion - you have said 'Yes' and spared de Chagny.
Copy !req
214. Turn the grasshopper — and the Opera House is blown to a thousand bits!
Copy !req
215. I'll do anything you say, if you will only save them!
