Phantom of the Opera Page #6

Sing, Christine.

Sing.

Don't move.

The whole place

is caving in.

The shots must've

started it.

He called that

his concerto,

and yet it's written around

the melody of my song.

Who was he?

He came from your

district in Provence.

Everybody there must have

known that old folk song.

He was almost

a stranger to me,

and yet somehow

I always felt

drawn to him

with a kind of pity,

understanding.

His suffering and madness

will be forgotten.

His music, his

concerto will remain.

I... I'm glad he

heard it before he...

Poor Claudio.

Oh, mademoiselle. You

were magnificent tonight!

Thank you, Celeste.

I was good, wasn't I?

Oh, wonderful!

Celeste.

Oh!

You were magnificent,

Christine.

Incomparable, beautiful.

A sensation!

Is that all?

I've just begun. It would

take days and years

to tell you how

superb you were.

We're having supper tonight

at the Caf de l'Opra.

Well,

I'm terribly sorry,

Anatole,

but I can't tonight.

Why not? Have you another

engagement? Yes.

With whom?

With Raoul.

That policeman?

Come in.

Christine?

Oh.

Oh.

Christine...

Christine...

You two know each other,

of course.

Of course.

Of course.

Well, how soon will you be ready, Christine?

The carriage is waiting.

I know Monsieur

Garron will excuse us.

Anatole has just asked me to supper too.

No doubt.

You won't be long,

will you, Christine?

I have an idea.

Why can't we three have supper together?

It's all ordered, isn't it?

I am not in the habit of

taking baritones to supper.

And I do not care to be seen

in public with the police.

Christine, you'll

have to make up your mind

finally and irrevocably

between the two of us.

Precisely.

Don't push, monsieur.

No, no, no.

Mademoiselle is very...

Excuse me.

Don't push,

monsieur. Please.

Would you join me for a bit of

supper at the Caf de l'Opra?

With pleasure,

monsieur.

Think we can get

through this crowd?

Certainly. After all, who'd pay any

attention to a baritone and a detective?

Quite right.

After you, monsieur.

After you, monsieur.
