Frollo's Adopted Daughter

The Bells

He then exits. Esmeralda moves into the church and sings, God Help The Outcasts.

Esmeralda: "I DON'T KNOW IF YOU CAN HEAR ME

OR IF YOU'RE EVEN THERE

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WOULD LISTEN

TO A GYPSY'S PRAYER

YES, I KNOW I'M JUST AN OUTCAST

I SHOULDN'T SPEAK TO YOU

STILL I SEE YOUR FACE AND WONDER

WERE YOU ONCE AN OUTCAST TOO?

GOD HELP THE OUTCASTS

HUNGRY FROM BIRTH

SHOW THEM THE MERCY THEY DON'T FIND ON EARTH

GOD HELP MY PEOPLE

WE LOOK TO YOU STILL

GOD HELP THE OUTCASTS, OR NOBODY WILL."

She walks through the church slowly, as the shadows of those walking past her float over her.

Parishioners: "I ASK FOR WEALTH

I ASK FOR FAME

I ASK FOR GLORY TO SHINE ON MY NAME

I ASK FOR LOVE I CAN POSSESS

I ASK FOR GOD AND HIS ANGELS TO BLESS ME!"

Esmeralda is slowly moving to the light streaming through a giant stained glass window. Meanwhile, upstairs, Quasi has heard Esmeralda's voice and has come downstairs to watch her.

Esmeralda: "I ASK FOR NOTHING

I CAN GET BY

BUT I KNOW SO MANY LESS LUCKY THAN I

PLEASE HELP MY PEOPLE

THE POOR AND DOWNTROD

I THOUGHT WE ALL WERE THE CHILDREN OF GOD

GOD HELP THE OUTCASTS, CHILDREN OF GOD."

She finishes her song in the centrer of the light from the window as she hugs Djali. Meanwhile, a parishioner has spotted Quasi.

Parishioner: (Shouting) "You! Bell ringer! What are you doing down here!?!"

Startled, Quasi jumps and knocks over a candlestaff as Esmeralda starts to notice him.

Parishioner: (Continues shouting) "Haven't you caused enough trouble already?"

Quasi runs off to his staircase as Esmeralda chases him.

Esmeralda: "Wait! I want to talk to you."

Quasi comes out the top of the staircase, followed by Esmeralda and Djali. The 'goyles watch from above.

Laverne: "Look! He's got a friend with him."

Hugo: "Yeah, maybe today wasn't a total loss after all."

Victor: "A vision of loveliness!" 

Hugo: "The one in the dress ain't bad either."

Quasi reaches his room, where the 'goyles greet him.

Hugo: "Oh my god! Quasi!"

Victor: "Congratulations!"

Laverne: "Knew you had it in you!"

Hugo: "Yep, the girl's chasing you already!"

Quasimodo: "Actually, I--"

Victor: "You mustn't run too fast, or she'll get away!"
