I Remember - Phantom Of The Opera

THE NEXT MORNING 
(As the light brightens, we see the PHANTOM seated at 
the organ playing with furious concentration. He breaks 
off occasionally to write the music down. There is a 
musical box in the shape of a barrel organ beside the bed. 
Mysteriously, it plays as CHRISTINE 
wakes up. The music keeps her in a half-trance) 
CHRISTINE 
I remember 
there was mist . . . 
swirling mist 
upon a vast, glassy lake . . . 
There were candles 
all around 
and on the lake there 
was a boat, 
and in the boat 
there was a man . . . 
(She rises and approaches the PHANTOM who does not 
see her As she reaches for his mask, he turns, almost 
catching her. This happens several times) 
Who was that shape 
in the shadows? 
Whose is the face 
in the mask? 
(She finally succeeds in tearing the mask from his face. 
The PHANTOM springs up and rounds on her furiously. 
She clearly sees his face. The audience does not, as he is 
standing in profile and in shadow) 
PHANTOM 
Damn you! 
You little prying 
Pandora! 
You little demon - 
is this what you wanted to see? 
Curse you! 
You little Iying 
Delilah! 
You little viper! 
now you cannot ever be free! 
Damn you . . . 
Curse you . . .
