(The PHANTOM emerges from behind the cross)


PHANTOM (very soft and enticing)
Wandering child...
so lost...
so helpless...
yearning for my
guidance...


(Bewildered, CHRISTINE looks up, and murmurs breathlessly)


CHRISTINE
Angel... or father...
friend... or
Phantom?
Who is it there,
staring...?


PHANTOM (more and more hypnotic):
Have you
forgotten
your Angel...?


CHRISTINE
Angel... oh, speak...
What endless
longings
echo in this
whisper...!


(RAOUL appears in the shadows and watches for a moment,
transfixed)


PHANTOM (now drawing CHRISTINE towards him)
Too long you've wandered
in winter...


RAOUL (to himself, a murmur)
Once again
she is his...


PHANTOM
Far from my
far-reaching gaze...


RAOUL
Once again
she returns...


CHRISTINE (increasingly mesmerized)
Wildly my mind
beats against you...


PHANTOM
You resist...


PHANTOM/CHRISTINE
Yet your/the soul
obeys...


RAOUL
...to the arms
of her angel...
angel or demon...
still he calls her...
luring her back, from the grave...
angel or dark seducer...?
Who are you, strange
angel...?


PHANTOM
Angel of Music!
You denied me,
turning from true beauty...
Angel of Music!
Do not shun me...
Come to your strange
Angel...


CHRISTINE
Angel of Music!
I denied you,
turning from true beauty...
Angel of Music!
My protector...
Come to me, strange
Angel...


(CHRISTINE moves towards the figure of the PHANTOM)


PHANTOM (beckoning her)
I am your Angel of Music...
Come to me: Angel of Music...


RAOUL (suddenly calling out)
Angel of darkness!
Cease this torment!


(Inexorably, the PHANTOM continues to beckon CHRISTINE)


PHANTOM
I am your Angel of Music...
Come to me: Angel of Music...


RAOUL (in desperation)
Christine! Christine, listen to me!
Whatever you may believe, this man...
this thing... is not your father!


(To the PHANTOM)


Let her go! For God's sake, let her go! Christine!


(Coming out of her trance, CHRISTINE turns and mouths the
word)


CHRISTINE
Raoul...


(She runs to RAOUL, who embraces her protectively.
The PHANTOM freezes for a moment and then suddenly seizes
a pike, upon which is impaled a skull. At a movement from him,


a flash of fire streaks from the gaping mouth of the skull, and
lands at RAOUL's feet)


PHANTOM
Bravo, Monsieur!
Such spirited words!


(Another fireball)


RAOUL
More tricks, Monsieur?


PHANTOM
Let's see, Monsieur,
how far you dare go!


(Another fireball)


RAOUL
More deception? More violence?


CHRISTINE (to RAOUL)
Raoul, no...


(RAOUL has begun to walk, slowly and resolutely, towards the
PHANTOM, the fireballs always landing just ahead of him)


PHANTOM
That's right, that's right,
Monsieur -
keep walking this way!


(Two more fireballs)


RAOUL
You can't win her love by making her your prisoner.


CHRISTINE
Raoul, don't...


RAOUL (to CHRISTINE)
Stay back!


PHANTOM
I'm here, I'm here,
Monsieur:
