R: Miss Giry, I'm not afraid of him. I've bested him before and if he ever had the courage to meet me face to face, man to man... No, no it can't be. P: Not afraid of me, you say? R: Stay back or I'll kill you, I promise you! P: Of course. As you say, you've beaten me before, but that was a long time ago, Vicomte. And we were playing a different game. Look at you, deep in debt Stinking drunk - pitiful Shall we two make a bet? Devil take he hindmost
R: Look at you, foul as sin Hideous - horrible Call the stakes, deal me in Devil take the hindmost
P: Our Christine shall choose tonight R: Let her choose P: Is she yours or mine? R: Draw the line P: If she sings you lose tonight R: I won't lose P: You leave from here R: Fine! P: Disappear R: Fine! And if she won't, if I win P: All your debts wiped away R: Very well, let's begin Both: Devil take the hindmost
(simultaneously) R: You think you have the odds You think you're in control You think you've fixed the dice Well I will gladly roll I'll bet against the house I'll even double down
P: Our game, it's been changed Evey throw risking her All the rules rearranged Fate has redesigned those
R: Fortune's on my side I won her long ago, I won her from you then I beat you even now, I'll win her back again
P: Cut the deck, let us play Roll your die once again
Both: And when the game is done, either way, Devil take the hindmost Now Christine shall choose at last Is she yours or mine?

R: I call your bluff - the game is on And we will see who wins He who runs it out wins it all
Both: Devil take he hindmost
P: Deal the cards, let them fall Choose your hand, try your best He who wins wins it all
