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 . .
