|Why so silent|
(The phantom arrives un-invited at the masquerade party)
PHANTOM
Why so silent good monsieurs?
did you think that I had left you for good?
Have you missed me, good monsieurs, I have written you an opera!
(He takes an opera script from his cloak and throws it on the ground)
Here I bring the finished score,
Don Juan Triumphant!......
Fondest greetings to you all,
a few instructions just before rehearsal starts,
Carlotta must be taught to act,
not her normal trick of strutting around the stage.
Our Don Juan must lose some weight,
it's not healthy in a man of Piangi's age.
And my managers must learn, that their place is in an office, not the arts.
As for our star, Miss Christine Daae......
No doubt she'll do her best it's true, her voice is good, she knows, though should she wish to excel, she has much still to learn, if pride will let her return to me, her teacher, her teacher.........
(To Christine)
Your chains are still mine
(Spoken)
You belong to me!
(He wraps his cloak around himself and vanishes)
