What Do I See
RAOUL:
Father, I think we should hold the curtain! I have some vital new information concerning the ghost!
RICHARD:
Don't be ridiculous.
RAOUL:
But Father, something terrible's happened!
RICHARD:
And something terrible's going to happen on stage, if this goes wrong.
RAOUL:
What's Christine doing in the pit?
RICHARD:
What does it look like she's doing? She's singing the Jewel Song for us.
RAOUL:
But surely Carlotta's doing Marguerite tonight?
RICHARD:
Carlotta is miming the role your girlfriend is going to sing it for her down there. Now shut up!
CHRISTINE (as the voice of CARLOTTA):
What do I see? From whence comes this most wondrous ornate casket? I scarcely dare touch it... But why not? I see the key to it... Dare I unlock it? My hand trembles... But why? I'll do no harmful wrong if I only peep inside it. What joy! It's full of wealth! Are they real or is this a charming dream? I feel I'm swooning... Mine eyes have never seen such a treasure of jewels!Ah.......! The joy! I am now so beautiful to see! Ah, the joy! I am now so beautiful to see! Is it you? Marguerite? Is it you? Answer, do, Answer, do, Mirror, mirror, tell me quickly... Ah.......
CARLOTTA:
Stop it, stop it, you unutterable fool! Don't let her out of the pit! I'm a gonna kill her!
CONDUCTOR:
I think she's fainted.
RAOUL:
Christine!
RICHARD:
What's happened to her?
RAOUL:
She appears to be drugged, Father.
RICHARD:
Then who was making those extraordinary noises?
THE PHANTOM:
She was singing to bring down the chandelier.
RICHARD:
The chandelier!
RICHARD:
All this should be allowed to continue as long as possible before being interrupted.
THE PHANTOM:
No! Not that one! This one.
FAUST:
Well. That's cured her nodules.
