CHRISTINE
I must go -
they'll wonder
where I am...
wait for me, Raoul!
RAOUL
Christine, I love you!
CHRISTINE
Order your
fine horses!
Be with them
at the door!
RAOUL
And soon you'll be beside me!
CHRISTINE
You'll guard me, and you'll guide me...
(They hurry off. The PHANTOM emerges from behind the
statue)
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...
RAOUL/CHRISTINE (offstage)
Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime...
say the word
and I will follow you...
Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning...
PHANTOM
You will curse the day
you did not do
all that the Phantom asked
of you...!
(As the roof of the opera house disappears, the opera curtain
closes and the PRINCIPALS in 'Il Muto' appear through it for
their bows, CHRISTINE conspicuously dressed in CARLOTTA's
costume. Simultaneously, we hear the maniacal laughter of the
PHANTOM and see him high above the stage, perilously rocking
the chandelier. The lights of the chandelier begin flickering and,
at a great cry from him, it descends, swinging more and more
madly over the orchestra pit)
PHANTOM
Go!!
