"They say that this youth has set my Lady's heart aflame!
His Lordship, sure, would die of shock
His Lordship is a laughingstock!
Should he suspect her, God protect her!
Shame! Shame! Shame!
This faithless lady's bound for Hades!
Shame! Shame! Shame!"

"Serafimo—your disguise is perfect"

[A knock at the door]

"Why, who can this be?"

"Gentle wife, admit your loving husband
My love—I am called to England on affairs of State
And must leave you with your new maid
Though I would happily take the maid with m

"The old fool is leaving!
Serafimo—away with this pretence!
You cannot speak—but kiss me in my husband's absence!"

"Poor fool, he makes me laugh!
Hahahahahaha...
Time I tried to get a better better half!
Poor fool, he doesn't know!
Hohohohohoho...
If he knew the truth, he'd never, ever go!"

"Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept empty?!"

"He's here: the Phantom of the Opera!"

"It's him I know it."

"Your part is silent, little toad!"

"A toad, madame? Perhaps it is you who are the toad.."

"Serafimo, away with this pretence!
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my—!"

[CARLOTTA croaks]

"Poor fool, he makes me laugh
Hahahahaha!
Haha—"

[CARLOTTA croaks repeatedly]

"Ladies and gentlemen, we apologize. The performance will continue in ten minutes' time... when the role of the Countess will be played by Miss Daaé. Thank you
Meanwhile, we'd like to give you the ballet from Act Three of tonight's opera"

As the ballet dancers went on stage Christine got ready back in her dressing room. As she was changing she heard the ballet girls scream and curiously stepped out to see what was happening. She saw the manager of the flys hung by a rope over the rafters. Christine screamed and ran to find Erik. She saw him running to her.
"Christine are you alright?!"
"Come were not safe here."
Christine lead Erik up the many stairs to the roof of the opera house.

"Why have you brought us here?"

"Don't take me back there!
He'll kill me!
His eyes will find me there!
Those eyes that burn!
And if he has to kill a thousand men."

"There is no Phantom of the Opera"

"Erik, I've been there
To his world of unending night
To a world where the daylight dissolves into darkness
Darkness
Erik, I've seen him!
Can I ever forget that sight?
In that darkness
Darkness"

Christine ran to Erik's arms frightened by all the events that the phantom caused tonight.

"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.
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.
Let me be your shelter,
Let me be your light;
You're safe, no one will find you,
Your fears are far behind you.
All I want is freedom,
A world with no more night;
And you, always beside me,
To hold me and to hide me.
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
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!"

"You know I do.
Anywhere you go, let me go to
Love me, that's all I ask of you."

Erik now knows that she loves him and shares the same feelings that she does. He grabs Christine gently and pulls her into a sweat kiss.

I must go
They'll wonder where I am
Wait for me Erik
Christine I love you!
Order your fine horses!
Be with them at the door!
And soon you'll be beside me!
You'll guard me and you'll guide me"

(they hurry off and the phantom emerges from behind the statue)

"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
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
You will curse the day you did not do
All that the Phantom asked of you!
No!"
