CHRISTINE I must go - they'll wonder where I am . . . wait for me, Raoul!
RAOUL Christine, I love you!
CHRISTINE Order your fine horses! Be with them at the door!
RAOUL And soon you'll be beside me!
CHRISTINE You'll guard me, and you'll guide me . . .
(They hurry off. The PHANTOM emerges from behind the statue)
PHANTOM 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 ...
RAOUL/CHRISTINE (offstage) 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 . . .
PHANTOM You will curse the day you did not do all that the Phantom asked of you . . .!
(As the roof of the opera house disappears, the opera curtain closes and the PRINCIPALS in 'Il Muto' appear through it for their bows, CHRISTINE conspicuously dressed in CARLOTTA'S costume. simultaneously, we hear the maniacal laughter of the PHANTOM and see him high above the stage, perilously rocking the chandelier. The lights of the chandelier begin flickering and, at a great cry from him, it descends, swinging more and more madly over the orchestra pit)
