SCENE 7

DON JUAN TRIUMPHANT

(The set of the final scene of "Don Juan TRIUMPHANT" A huge hall with an arch. Behind the arch, which has curtains, is a bed. A fine table, laid for two. PASSARINO, DON JUAN"S servant, is directing the STAFF as they make the room ready. They are a crowd of sixteenth century ruffians and hoydens, proud of their master"s reputation as a libertine)

CHORUS
Here the sire may serve the dam,here the master takes his meat!Here the sacrificial lambutters one despairing bleat!

CARLOTTA AND CHORUS
Poor young maiden! For the thrillon your tongue of stolen sweetsyou will have to pay the bill tangled in the winding sheets! Serve the meal and serve the maid!Serve the master so that, whentables, plans and maids are laid,Don Juan triumphs once again!

(SIGNOR PIANGI, as Don Juan, emerges from behind the arch. MEG, a gypsy dancer pirouettes coquettishly for him.He throws her a purse. She catches it and leaves)

DON JUAN
Passarino, faithful friend,once again recite the plan.

PASSARINO
Your young guest believes I"m you I, the master, you, the man.

DON JUAN
When you met you wore my cloak,with my scarf you hid your face.She believes she dines with me,in her master"s borrowed place!Furtively, we"ll scoff and quaff,stealing what, in truth, is mine.When it"s late and modestystarts to mellow, with the wine . . .

PASSARINO
You come home! I use your voice slam the door like crack of doom!

DON JUAN
I shall say: "come - hide with me!Where, oh, where? Of course - my room!"

PASSARINO
Poor thing hasn"t got a chance!

DON JUAN
Here"s my hat, my cloak and sword.Conquest is assured,if I do not forget myself and laugh . . .

(DON JUAN puts on PASSARINO"s cloak and goes into the curtained alcove where the bed awaits. Although we do not yet know it, the Punjab Lasso has done its work, and SIGNOR PIANGI is no more. When next we see DON JUAN, it will be the PHANTOM. Meanwhile, we hear AMINTA (CHRISTINE) singing happily in the distance)

AMINTA(CHRISTINE - offstage, entering)
". . . no thoughtswithin her head,but thoughts of joy!No dreamswithin her heartbut dreams of love!"

PASSARINO (onstage)
Master?

DON JUAN(PHANTOM - behind the curtain)
Passarino - go away!For the trap is set and waits for its prey . . .

(PASSARINO leaves. CHRISTINE (AMINTA) enters. She takes off her cloak and sits down. Looks about her. No one. She starts on an apple. The PHANTOM, disguised as DON JUAN pretending to be PASSARINO, emerges. He now wears PASSARINO"s robe, the cowl of which hides his face. His first words startle her)

(By now the audience and the POLICE have realised that SIGNOR PIANGI is dead behind the curtain, and it is the PHANTOM who sings in his place. CHRISTINE knows it too. As final confirmation, the PHANTOM sings)

PHANTOM
Say you"ll share withme onelove, one lifetime . . .Lead me, save mefrom my solitude . . .

(He takes from his finger a ring and holds it out to her. Slowly she takes it and puts it on her finger.)

Say you want mewith you, here beside you . . .Anywhere you golet me go tooCHRISTINE

that"s all I ask of . . .

(We never reach the word "you", for CHRISTINE quite calmly reveals the PHANTOM"S face to the audience. As the FORCES OF LAW close in on the horrifying skull, the PHANTOM sweeps his cloak around her and vanishes.MEG pulls the curtain upstage, revealing PIANGI"S body garotted, propped against the bed, his head gruesomely tilted to one side. She screams.)

TRANSFORMATION TO: REVERSE VIEW OF THE STAGE

(POLICE, STAGEHANDS, etc. rush onto the stage in confusion. Also: ANDRE, FIRMIN, RAOUL, GIRY, CARLOTTA and MEG)

CARLOTTA
What is it? What has happened? Ubaldo!

ANDRE
Oh, my God . . . my God . . .

FIRMIN
We"re ruined, Andre - ruined!

GIRY(to RAOUL)
Monsieur le Vicomte! Come with me!

CARLOTTA(rushing over to PIANGI"s body)
Oh, my darling, my darling . . . who has done this ...? (Hysterical, attacking ANDRE)
You! Why did you let this happen? (She breaks down, as PIANGI"s body is carried off on a stretcher)

GIRY
Monsieur le Vicomte, I know where they are.

RAOUL
But can I trust you?

GIRY
You must. But remember: your hand at the level of your eyes!

RAOUL
But why . . .?

GIRY
Why? The Punjab lasso, monsieur. First Buquet. Now Piangi.

MEG (holding up her hand)Like this, monsieur. I"ll come with you.

GIRY
No, Meg! No, you stay here!

(To RAOUL)
Come with me, monsieur. Hurry, or we shall be too late...

SCENE 8

THE LABYRINTH UNDERGROUND

(Meanwhile, down below, we see the PHANTOM and CHRISTINE in the boat, crossing the underground lake) PHANTOM (furiously propelling the boat onwards)
Down once more

to the dungeon

of my black despair!

Down we plunge

to the prison

of my mind!

Down that path

into darkness

deep as hell!

(He rounds on her, bitterly)

Why, you ask,

was I bound and chained

in this cold and dismal place?

Not for any

mortal sin, but the

wickedness of

my abhorrent face!

(He hears the offstage voices of the pursuing MOB)

MOB (offstage)
Track down this murderer!

He must be found!

PHANTOM
(moving off again)
Hounded out by

everyone!

Met with hatred

everywhere!

No kind word from

anyone!

No compassion

anywhere!

Christine, Christine . . .

Why, why . . .?

leevihua

(RAOUL and GIRY appear above. They make their way down, meeting a pack of rats. GlRY screams and lowers her guard. The rats and the RATCATCHER pass them. GIRY raises her hand again)


GIRY

Your hand at the level of your eyes!



RAOUL. . . at the level of your eyes . . .

MOB
(offstage)
Your hand at the level of your eyes!

GIRY
He lives across the lake, monsieur. This is as far as
I dare go.

RAOUL
Madame Giry, thank you.

(She turns to go back up the slope. RAOUL looks at the water. He removes his coat and plunges in. The MOB appears at the top of the slope. They come down to the lake edge, their torches flickering.)

MOB

Track down this
murderer -
He must be found!
Hunt out this
animal,
who runs to ground!
Too long he"s
preyed on us -
but now we know:
the Phantom of the Opera
is there
deep down below . . .

He"s here: the Phantom of the Opera . . .

(They turn back up the slope. Perhaps there is another way in. The gate to the lair descends, as the rest of the lair appears.)

SCENE 9

BEYOND THE LAKE

(The dummy of CHRlSTlNE sits crumpled on a large throne. The PHANTOM drags CHRISTINE roughly out of the boat. She frees herself and backs away as he stares blackly out front. Braving her terror, she addresses him fiercely).

CHRISTINE
Have you gorged yourself
at last, in your
lust for blood?

(no reply)

Am I now to be
prey to your
lust for flesh?

PHANTOM
(coldly)
That fate, which
condemns me
to wallow in blood
has also
denied me
the joys of the flesh . . .
this face -
the infection
which poisons our love . . .

(He lakes the bridal veil front the dummy, and moves slowIy towards her)

This face,
which earned
a mother"s fear
and loathing . . .
A mask,
my first
unfeeling scrap
of clothing . . .

(He places the veil on her head)

Pity comes
too late -
turn around
and face your fate:
an eternity of this
before your eyes!

(They are almost touching. She looks calmly and coldly into his face)

CHRISTINE
This haunted face
holds no horror
for me now . . .
It"s in your soul
that the true
distortion lies . . .

(The PHANTOM suddenly senses RAOUL"S presence. Behind the portcullis, RAOUL climbs out of the water）

water)



PHANTOM

Wait! I think, my dear,

we have a guest!



(To RAOUL)



Sir, this is indeed

an unparalleled delight!

I had rather hoped

that you would come.

And now my wish comes true -
you have truly made my night!



RAOUL
(pleading, grasping the bars of the gate)

Free her!

Do what you like

only free her!

Have you no pity?



PHANTOM (to CHRISTINE, dryly)
Your lover makes

a passionate plea!



CHRISTINE

Please, Raoul, it"s useless . . .



RAOUL

I love her!

Does that mean nothing?

I love her!

Show some compassion . . .



PHANTOM
(snarls furiously at RAOUL)



The world showed no

compassion to me!



RAOUL

Christine . . .

Christine . . .



(to PHANTOM)



Let me see her . . .



PHANTOM (drily)

Be my guest, sir . .



(He gestures, and the fence rises. RAOUL enters)



Monsieur, I

bid you welcome!

Did you think that

I would harm her?

Why should I make

her pay

for the sins which

are yours?



(So saying, he takes the Punjab lasso and, before RAOUL has a chance to move, catches him by the neck. The end of the rope, of which the PHANTOM has let go, remains magically suspended in mid-air)


(taunting)

Order your fine horses now!

Raise up your hand to the level of your eyes!

Nothing can save you now -

except perhaps Christine . . .



(He turns to her)



Start a new life with me -

Buy his freedom with your love!

Refuse me, and you send your lover to his

death!

This is the choice -

This is the point of no return!



CHRISTINE (to the PHANTOM)

The tears I might have shed

for your dark fate

grow cold, and turn to tears

of hate . . .



RAOUL
(despairing)

Christine, forgive

me please forgive me . . .

I did it all

for you, and all for

nothing . . .



CHRISTINE
(looking at the PHANTOM but to herself)

Farewell

my fallen idol

and false friend . . .

One by one

I"ve watched

illusions shattered . . .



PHANTOM

Past all hope

of cries for help:

no point in fighting -


RAOUL

Either way

you choose,

he has to win . . .


PHANTOM

For either way

you choose,

you cannot win!



So, do you end

your days with me,

or do you send

him to his grave?

leevihua

RAOUL
(to PHANTOM)

Why make her lie

to you, to save

me?



CHRISTINE

Angel of Music . . .


PHANTOM

Past the point

of no return -


RAOUL

For pity"s sake,

Christine, say no!


CHRISTINE. . . why this torment?

PHANTOM. . . the final threshold . . .

RAOUL
Don"t throw your life

away for my sake . . .

CHRISTINE
When will you see

reason . . .?

PHANTOM
His life is now the prize

which you must earn!

RAOUL
I fought so hard

to free you . . .

CHRISTINE
Angel of Music . . .

PHANTOM
You"ve passed the point

of no return . . .

CHRISTINE. . . you deceived me -

I gave my mind

blindly . . .

PHANTOM (to CHRISTINE)
You try my patience -

make your choice!

(She reflects for a moment, then with resolution moves slowly towards the PHANTOM)

leevihua

CHRISTINE

(quietly at first, then with growing emotion)

Pitiful creature

of darkness . . .

What kind of life

have you known . . .?



God give me courage

to show you

you are not

alone . . .



(Now calmly facing him, she kisses him long and full on the lips. The embrace lasts a long time. RAOUL watches in horror and wonder.

The PHANTOM lakes a lighted candle and holds it above RAOUL"s head. A tense moment. But the suspended rope suddenly falls harmlessly - the PHANTOM has burned the thread by which the noose was held. Resigned, he addresses RAOUL, as we hear the offstage voices of the approaching MOB)


MOB
(SOME)

Track down this

murderer -

he must be found!

Hunt out this

animal,

who runs to ground!



Too long he"s

preyed on us -

but now we know:

the Phantom of the Opera

is there

deep down below . .



MOB
(OTHERS)



Who is this monster,

this murdering beast?

Revenge for Piangi!

Revenge for Buquet!

This creature

must never go free . . .



PHANTOM

Take her - forget me - forget all of this . . .

Leave me alone - forget all you"ve seen . . .

Go now - don"t let them find you!

Take the boat - leave me here - go now,

don"t wait . . .

Just take her and go - before it"s too late . . .

Go . . .

Go now - go now and leave me!



(RAOUL and CHRISTINE move off towards the boat. The PHANTOM looks mockingly at his mask. The musical box starts up magically, and he listens to it)



Masquerade . . .

Paper faces on parade . . .

Masquerade . . .

Hide your face

so the world will

never find you . . .



(CHRISTINE re-enters and walks slowly towards him. She takes off her ring and gives it to the PHANTOM)


PHANTOM

Christine, I love you...



(She hurries off The PHANTOM puts the ring on his finger. In the distance, to RAOUL, as the boat pulls away in the shadow)


CHRISTINE

Say you"ll share with

me, one

love, one lifetime . . .

say the word

and I will follow you . .


RAOUL

Share each day with me . . .


CHRISTINE. . . each night . . .

BOTH. . . each morning . . .

PHANTOM (looking after her)
You alone

can make my song take flight -

it"s over now, the music of the night . . .

(The PHANTOM walks slowly towards the throne. He takes his place on it, sitting on his cloak.

The MOB including MEG, appears above, climbing down the portcullis. As the MOB enters the lair, the PHANTOM wraps his cloak around himself and disappears.

MEG crosses to the throne and picks up his mask in her small hand)
