Love Never Dies Script

Act 2RaoulOne more

BartenderBuddy, don’t you think you’ve had enoughIt’s practically morning already

RaoulOne more, I said

BartenderAll right, all rightMy shift is over anywaysSo let’s settle the billJeez, you’re in a bad wayWorse than most who come hereHey, look, it’s the morning shiftMaybe he’ll know what to do with you

RaoulYes, what to do with meThat has always been the questionEver since the beginningShe looks for sympathyI give her sorrowShe asks for honestyI’ve none to borrowShe needs my tender kissShe begs it of meI give her uglinessWhy does she love meShe yearns for higher thingsThings I can’t give herThe rush that music brings

I can’t deliverAnd even when she singsAnd soars above meI try to clip her wingsWhy does she love meOne more drink, sirThat’s what I needDon’t you think, sirLeave the hurt behindDid you hear meAnother drinkShe wants the man I wasHusband and fatherAt least she thinks she doesShe needn’t botherBeneath this mask I wearThere’s nothing of meJust horrorShameDespairWhy does she love meHow ‘bout you sirTell me: what am I to do, sirLeave the hurt behind

MegMorning Bernie, coffee pleaseHurry up before I freezeI’ll just take it blackVicomte, fancy meeting you hereDrowning out your sorrows?

RaoulOn the contrary, Celebrating a reunion with old friendsFriends I long thought dead and buriedAnd you?

MegI’ve been for a swim

This town is coarse and cruel and meanIt’s hard to keep your conscience cleanFaceless in the crowdAnything’s allowedAnd so I come at dawn each dayCome to wash it all awaySink into the seaBlue and cool and kindLet it set me freeLet the past unwindLeave the hurt behind

RaoulMiss Giry?

MegWhat do you think will happen, Vicomte At the concert?Have you thoughtWhen he hears her sing againWhen she sings

RaoulAh, Miss Giry, I wish I knewBut I’m afraid her music has always been somewhat of a mystery to me

MegThere’s more to this than the music, monsieurBelieve meI saw itThere’s somethingI don’t knowJust take her awayNow For all our sakesSail across the seaPut us out of mindClose your eyes and fleeLeave the past behind

RaoulWhat do you meanWhat are you talking about

MegTrust me, monsieurDon’t let her singOnce he gets into her soulThere’s nothing she won’t do for himLeave this place behind

RaoulMiss Giry, I’m not afraid of him I've bested him beforeAnd if he ever had the courage to meet me face to face, man to manNo, no, it can't be

PhantomNot afraid of me, you say?

RaoulStay back or I'll kill you, I promise you

PhantomOf course, as you say, you've beaten me beforeBut that was a long time ago, VicomteAnd we were playing a different gameLook at you, deep in debtStinking drunk, pitifulShall we two make a bet?Devil take the hindmost

RaoulLook at you, foul as sinHideous, horribleCall the stakes, deal me inDevil take the hindmost

Phantom (Raoul)Our Christine shall choose tonight

(Let her choose)Is she yours or mine?(Draw the line)If she sings, you lose tonight(I won't lose)You leave from here(Fine)Disappear(Fine)

Raoul And if she won't, if I win

Phantom All your debt's wiped away

PhantomFate has redesigned those

Raoul (Phantom)

Fortune's on my sideI won her long ago(Cut the deck)I won her from you then(Let us play)I beat you even now(Roll your die)I'll win her back again(Once again)(In the end)And when the game is done

PhantomEither way

RaoulThe demands I’ve madeAll our hopes mislaidI’m aware of the price they’ve exactedThough I’ve no right to ast you toThere’s one thing more I’d have you doIf you love me as I love you

ChristineAnything, Darling

RaoulDon’t sing the song, dear

ChristineBut, Raoul

RaoulYou’ve got to know Something’s terribly wrong, dear

ChristineBut I have to do thisIt’s what we agreed to

RaoulThat Hell-spawned demonHe’s had us playing his game all along, dear

RaoulYou need so much, it’s trueAnd I’ve denied youYou need the man you knewBack here, beside youYou’ll have him back, I vowJust ask it of meBut we must leave here now, if you still love me

PhantomIt’s that idiot RaoulI will kill that drunken foolIf he dare take a childA child that isn’t his

SquelchSir, the Vicomte De Chagny left here aloneSaw with my own eyes, sirThere was no one with himWas there anyone else here backstage

PhantomMadame Giry, she was hereWith her vicious little sneerAnd the comments she madeThat ungrateful backbiting snakeGo now quicklyBring her roundBring the boy back safe and soundThen I’ll make that vixen pay

AntoinetteWhat is the meaning of this

PhantomThe child, woman, what have you done with him

AntoinetteThe boy, you think I took the boyWhy would I do such a thingDo you think I don’t know who he is

Ms. FI just past Meg’s dressing roomIt was silent as a tombBut her mirror was smashedAll in pieces on the floor

AntoinetteCould I have left her so distraughtGod knows what she must have thoughtFoolish child she must be caught

ChristineMy poor Gustave

AntoinetteMeg, child

MegAnd who kept singingDeperate for your favorWho kept dancingHoping you would save herWho kept dying And this is what you gave herNow that I’ve got your attention at lastHere’s the big finish and then you can go

AntoinetteNo, Meg, don’t

PhantomGive me the gun, Meg

MegSee me clear at last

PhantomYou feel uglyYou feel usedYou feel brokenYou feel bruisedAh, but me, I can seeAll the Beauty underneathYou’ve been robbed of love and prideBeen ignored and cast asideEven so, I still know There is beauty underneathDiamonds never sparkle brightIf they aren’t set just rightBeauty sometimes goes unseenWe can’t all be like Christine
