Refuge of Dragonflies

Father Frollo:
Before I met you my soul was filled with light.

Esmeralda:
Assassino! [spits in his face]

Father Frollo:
Vilify me, strike me, but love me!

Esmeralda:
Demon!

Father Frollo:
I must have you for my very own!

Esmeralda:
Help! A vampire!

Moon Dog:
Why is the bat priest hunting our little dragonfly with his monster in this god-forsaken place?

Moon Dog:
[places a noose around Chancez's neck] Adieu, my friend. All your poems won't save you now. You have one minute to fling your soul at the head of whatever god you pray to.

Esmeralda:
Are you going to hang this boy?

Spider Knacker:
Relax, hombre, you haven't crossed the River of Death. Yet.

Chancez:
I'm a poet, I cry for the freedom of Tibet!

Moon Dog:
And China makes the fireworks and flags for our Independence Day.

Chancez:
What are the children doing? Why aren't they at home in bed?

Esmeralda:
This is their home. I am their refuge.

Chancez:
Celestial street dancer, had I known the meaning of the breaking of the crock, I should have smashed it into a thousand pieces, that we might be together for a thousand years.

Chancez:
[passionately embraces Esmeralda] Refuge of all poets, I want to take refuge in your body!

Chancez:
I pretty much failed at everything, and seeing I was good for nothing, I became a poet.

Chancez:
And love?

Esmeralda:
That is to be two and to be one. A man and a woman mingled into one angel.

[last lines]

Chancez:
Have you saved my life to break my heart?
