# Destroy Esmeralda #

# And let her taste

the fires of hell #

# Or else let her be mine

and mine alone #

Minister Frollo,

the Gypsy has escaped.

- What?

- She's nowhere in the cathedral.

- She's gone.

- But how? L... Never mind.

Get out, you idiot.

I'll find her.

I'll find her if I have to

burn down all of Paris.

# Hellfire

Dark fire #

# Now, Gypsy

It's your turn #

# Choose me

or your pyre #

# Be mine

or you will burn #

- # Kyrie eleison #

- # God have mercy on her #

- # Kyrie eleison #

- # God have mercy on me #

- # Kyrie eleison #

- # But she will be mine #

# Or she #

# Will #

# Burn ##

'T ention!

- Good morning, sir.

- Oh.

- Are you feeling all right?

I had a little trouble

with the fireplace.

- I see. Your orders, sir?

- Find the Gypsy girl.

Ten pieces of silver

for the Gypsy, Esmeralda.

Lock them up.

Twenty pieces of silver

for the Gypsy, Esmeralda.

Take them away!

- Poor miller.

He's never harmed anyone!

- Frollo's gone mad.

We found this Gypsy talisman

on your property. Have you been

harboring Gypsies?

Our home is always open

to the weary traveller.

Have mercy, my lord.

I am placing you and your family

under house arrest until I get

to the bottom of this.

If what you say is true and you are

innocent, then you have nothing to fear.

But we are innocent. I assure you,

we know nothing of these Gypsies.

- Burn it.

- What?

Until it smoulders. These people are

traitors and must be made examples of.

With all due respect, sir, I was

not trained to murder the innocent.

But you were trained

to follow orders.

Insolent coward.

The sentence

for insubordination is death.

Such a pity. You threw away

a promising career.

Consider it

my highest honor, sir.

Get him!

And don't hit my horse!

Don't waste your arrows.

Let the traitor rot in his watery grave.

Find the girl.

If you have to burn the city

to the ground, so be it.

# Kyrie eleison #

# Kyrie eleison ##

Sir, we've looked everywhere

and still no sign of the Gypsy girl.

I had the entire

cathedral surrounded.

Guards at every door. There was no way

she could have escaped.

Unless...

Oh, it doesn't

look good.

- It's hopeless. Absolutely hopeless.

- You're tellin' me.

I'm losin' to a bird!

- Oh, but that poor Gypsy girl.

I'm beginning to fear the worst.

- I know.

But now don't you say

anything to upset Quasimodo.

He's worried enough already.

- Yeah, you're right.

We better lighten up.

- Shh. Here he comes.

- Now just stay calm.

- Not a word.

- Easy does it.

- Stone-faced.

- Any sign of her?

Oh, it's a lost cause!

She could be anywhere!

In the stocks,

in the dungeon, on the rack!

Oh!

- Nice work, Victor.

- No, he's right. What are we gonna do?

What are you guys

talkin' about?

If I know Esmeralda, she's

three steps ahead of Frollo

and well out of harm's way.

- Do you really think so?

- Hey, when things cool off,

she'll be back. You'll see.

- What makes you so sure?

- Because she likes ya.

We always said

you were the cute one.

- I thought I was the cute one.

- No, you're the fat, stupid one

with the big mouth!

What are you sayin',

exactly?

Take it from us, Quasi.

You got nothin' to worry about.

- Yeah. You're irresistible.

- Knights in shining armor

certainly aren't her type.

And those guys

are a dime a dozen.

But you, you're

one of a kind. Look.

# Paris, the city of lovers

is glowing this evening #

# True, that's because

it's on fire #

# But still there's I'amour #

# Somewhere out there

in the night #

# Her heart

is also alight #

# And I know the guy she

just might be burning for #

# A guy like you #

# She's never known, kid #

# A guy like you #

# A girl does not meet

every day #

# You've got a look #

# That's all your own, kid

Could there be #

# Two like you

No way #

# Those other guys #

# That she could dangle #

# All look the same from every

boring point of view #

# You're a surprise #

# From every angle #

# Mon dieu above

She's gotta love

a guy like you #

# A guy like you #

# Gets extra credit #

- # Because it's true you've got

a certain something more #

- You're aces, kid.

# You see that face

Ya don't forget it #

# Want something new #

- # That's you #

- # For sure #

# We all have gaped

at some Adonis #

# But then we crave a meal

more nourishing to chew #

# And since you're shaped #

# Like a croissant is #

# No question of

She's gotta love

a guy like you #

# Call me

a hopeless romantic #

# But, Quasi

I feel it #

# She wants you so #

# Any moment she'll walk

through that door #

# For #

# A guy so swell #

# A guy like you

With all you bring her#

# A fool could tell

it's why she fell #

# For you-know-who #

# You'll ring the bell #

# You're the bell ringer #

# When she wants ooh-la-la

And she wants you-la-la #

# She will discover, guy #

# You're one heck

of a guy #

# Who wouldn't love

a guy like #

- # You #

- # You got a lot #

- # The rest have not #

# She's gotta love

a guy like you ##

Quasi?

Quasimodo?

Esmeralda?

Esmeralda, you're all right!

I knew you'd come back!

You've done so much

for me already, my friend.

- But I must ask your help

one more time.

- Yes, anything.

This is Phoebus. He's wounded and

a fugitive like me.

He can't go on much longer.

I knew he'd be safe here.

Please, can you hide him?

This way.

Oh. Esmeralda.

Shh-h-h. You'll hide here

until you're strong enough to move.

Great.

I could use a drink.

Aah! Yes. Mmm.

Feels like a 1470 burgundy.

Not a good year.

That family owes you

their lives.

You're either the single bravest soldier

I've ever seen or the craziest.

Ex-soldier, remember?

Why is it, whenever we meet,

I end up bleeding?

You're lucky.

That arrow

almost pierced your heart.

I'm not so sure

it didn't.

# I knew I'd never know

that warm and loving glow #

# Though I might wish

with all my might #

# No face as hideous

as my face #

# Was ever meant

for heaven's light ##

Frollo's coming.

You must leave.

Quick, follow me.

Go down the south tower steps.

Be careful, my friend. Promise you won't

let anything happen to him.

- I promise.

- Thank you.

Quick, we gotta stash

the stiff.

Oh. Oh, Master, l-l-l-I

didn't think you'd be coming.

I am never too busy to share

a meal with you, dear boy.

I brought a little... treat.

Oh!

Is there something

troubling you, Quasimodo?

- Oh. No!

- Oh, but there is.

I know there is.

I think

you're hiding something.

Oh, no, Master.

L... There's no...

- You're not eating, boy.

It's very good. Thank you.

Mmm.

Seeds.

What's different

in here?

Nothing... sir.

Isn't this one new?

It's awfully good. It looks

very much like the Gypsy girl.

I know

you helped her escape!

And now all Paris is burning

because of you!

She was kind

to me, Master.

You idiot! That wasn't

kindness. It was cunning!

She's a Gypsy! Gypsies are

not capable of real love!

Think, boy.

Think of your mother.

But what chance could
