Why Have You Brought Me Here
THE ROOF OF THE OPERA HOUSE
(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 . . .
