[Christine is pulling Raoul along] Raoul: [sings] Why have you brought me here? Christine: [sings] We can't go back there... Raoul: We must return. Christine: He'll kill you! His eyes will find us there... Raoul: Christine, don't say that... Christine: Those eyes that burn. Raoul: Don't even think it. Christine: And if he has to kill a thousand men... Raoul: Forget this waking nightmare, Christine: The Phantom of the Opera will kill and kill again! Raoul: There is no Phantom of the Opera. Christine and 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 voice you hear? Christine: I never will. Raoul: With every breath. Christine and Raoul:: And in this labyrinth, where night is blind. The Phantom of the Opera is Raoul: There... Christine: Here... inside Raoul: Your- Christine: My mind. [They both walk out onto the top of the theater building] Raoul: [sings softly] There is no Phantom of the Opera. Christine: [turning away] Raoul, I've been there! To his world of unending night, to a world where the daylight dissolves into darkness... darkness... [turns, eyes wide] Christine: Raoul, I’ve seen him! Can I ever forget that sight? Can I ever escape from that face? So distorted, deformed, it was hardly a face in that darkness... darkness... [Turns away again with a wondering look on her face] Christine: But his voice filled my spirit with a strange, sweet sound. In that night there was music in my mind... And through music my soul began to soar! And I heard as I'd never heard before... Raoul: What you heard was a dream and nothing more. Christine: Yet in his eyes, all the sadness of the world. Those pleading eyes, that both threaten and adore... [Pan shot reveals the Phantom is listening behind a large statue] Raoul: [sings] Christine, Christine, The Phantom: [sings so softly you can barely hear it] ...Christine... [Christine looks up, not sure if she heard anything] Raoul: [turns her to him] No more talk of darkness, Forget these wide-eyed fears, I'm here, Nothing can harm you, My words will warm and calm you. Let me be your freedom, Let daylight dry your tears. I'm here, with you, beside you, to guard you and to guide you. Christine: Say you love me every waking moment. Turn my head with talk of summertime. Say you need me with you now and always. Promise me that all you say is true. That's all I ask of you. Raoul: Let me be your shelter, let me be your light, you’re safe, no one will find you, your fears are far behind you. Christine: All I want is freedom, a world with no more night, and you always beside me, to hold me and to hide me. Raoul: Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime. Let me lead you from your solitude. Say you need me with you here, beside you, Anywhere you go, let me go too. Christine, that's all I ask of you. Christine: 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, Say you love me. Raoul: You know I do. Raoul and Christine: Love me, that's all I ask of you. [Raul and Christine kiss; the Phantom looks back at them then turns away] Raoul and Christine: Anywhere you go, let me go too. Love me, that's all I ask of you. [They kiss again] Christine: [starts towards the door leading into the theater] I must go; they’ll wonder where I am. Come with me Raoul. Raoul: Christine, I love you... [takes her hand] 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. [As they walk through door; Christine drops the rose the Phantom had given her onto the snow; black boots now stop next to it and a gloved hand picks it up] The Phantom: [sings brokenly] 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... [weeps softly] [Raoul and Christine’s song echoes faintly; the petals fall from the rose as the Phantom grinds it between his hands] 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... The Phantom: [races up the back of a statue and bellows at the sky] You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you!
