(RAOUL has begun to walk slowly and resolutely towards the PHANTOM the fireballs always landing just ahead of him) PHANTOM That's right, that's right, monsieur keep walking this way! (Two more fireballs) RAOUL You can't win her love by making her your prisoner. At a movement from him a flash of fire streaks from the gaping mouth of the skull and lands at RAOUL's feet) PHANTOM Bravo, monsieur! Such spirited words! (Another fireball) RAOUL More tricks, monsieur? PHANTOM Let's see, monsieur how far you dare go! (Another fireball) RAOUL More deception? More violence? CHRISTINE (to RAOUL) Raoul, no. The PHANTOM freezes for a moment and then suddenly seizes a pike upon which is impaled a skull. She turns lo RAOUL who embraces her protectively. is not your father! (to the PHANTOM) Let her go! For God's sake, let her go! Christine ! (Coming out of her trance CHRISTINE turns and mouths the words): CHRISTINE Raoul. RAOUL (in desperation) Christine! Christine listen to me! Whatever you may believe, this man.
RAOUL (suddenly calling out) Angel of darkness! Cease this torment! (Inexorably the PHANTOM continues to beckon CHRISTINE) PHANTOM I am your Angel of Music. (CHRISTINE moves towards the figure of the PHANTOM) PHANTOM (beckoning her) I am your Angel of Music.
CHRISTINE Angel of Music! I denied you, turning from true beauty. ? PHANTOM Angel of Music! You denied me, turning from true beauty. PHANTOM/CHRISTINE Yet your/the soul obeys. CHRISTINE (increasingly mesmerized) Wildly my mind beats against you. RAOUL (to himself a murmur) Once again she is his. ! (RAOUL appears in the shadows and watches for a moment transfixed) PHANTOM (now drawing CHRISTINE towards him) Too long you've wandered in winter. What endless longings echo in this whisper.
? PHANTOM (more and more hypnotic) Have you forgotten your Angel. (Bewildered, CHRISTINE looks up, and murmurs breathlessly): CHRISTINE Angel. (The PHANTOM emerges from behind the cross) PHANTOM (very soft and enticing) Wandering child.
The Phantom of the Opera Wandering Child./Bravo, Monsieur.
