"It is barely possible you may hear of a ghost, a Phantom of the Opera!"

"Who occupies Box Five?"
05:34
"I do not know."
05:38
"I have seen only the cloaked figure of a man who hides his face and will not speak!"
05:50
"Is it the Phantom?"
07:50
"The Phantom! The Phantom is up from the cellars again!"
08:00
"We saw him for an instanta gray shadowand he was gone!"
08:05
"He had no nose!"
08:11
"Yes, he did, it was enormous!"
08:39
"That man came out of the cellars—just after we saw the Phantom. Could it be that he—?"
08:50
"Joseph Buquet has really seen the Phantom! Let's ask him"
09:29
"His eyes are ghastly beads in which there is no light—like holes in a grinning skull!"
09:42
"His face is like leprous parchment, yellow skin strung tight over protruding bones!"
09:55
"His nosethere is no nose!"
10:14
"Have a care, Buquet—ghosts like not to be seen or talked about!"
10:25
"Come, I'll show you where I saw him—in the scene-dock of the third cellar."
10:53
"I saw him here! A flash of shadow, and he was gone!"

12:07
"No ghost will frighten Carlotta! Wednesday evening you will hear her singing!"
12:26
Wednesday night found Mlle. Carlotta strangely ill, and Cristine Daaé singing "Marguerite".
13:17
"What is this I hear about Christine favoring some mysterious admirer, instead of you, Raoul?"
13:31
"Don't worry, my dear Brother—nothing shall interfere with our love."
14:17
"I hear a lot of rumors, Raoul—be careful!"
14:56
"At last you have realized your ambition, my darling, and now we shall be married."
15:07
"I can never leave the Opera, Raoul. You must forget our love."
15:41
From hidden places beyond the walls a melodious voice, like the voice of an angel, spoke to her.
15:54
"Christine, tonight I placed the world at your feet!"
16:13
"To you I have imparted the full measure of my art. You will triumph—all Paris will worship you!"
16:31
"But I warn you, you must forget all worldly things and think only of your carrer—and your Master!"
16:47
"Soon, Christine, this spirit will take form and command your love!"
16:57
"Call for me when you will. I shall be waiting."
17:14
In Mlle. Carlotta's correspondence there appeared another letter, edged in black!
17:29
If you appear tomorrow night, you must be prepared for a great misfortune, and therefore I advise you to be "ill."
The Phantom
17:43
"Christine Daaé's friends are plotting again! But my daughter shall sing tomorrow night, come what may!"
18:23
The role of 'Marguerite' shall be sung again tomorrow evening by Christine Daae, instead of Carlotta.

"For long weary months I have awaited this hour!"

Following Chandelier Disaster
While pandemonium reigned in the Paris Opera House, Christine Daaé, understudy to Mlle. Carlotta, mysteriously disappeared from her dressing room last night.
33:47
The night passed—a night of vague horrorstortured dreams
35:07
CHRISTINE
35:28
You are in no peril as long as you do not touch my mask. You will be free as long as your love for this spirit of Erik overcomes your fear.
Erik
36:39
"Don Juan Triumphant"
36:48
"Since first I saw your face, this music has been singing to me of you andlove triumphant!"
37:07
"Yet listenthere sound an ominous undercurrent of warning!"
38:38
"Feast your eyes—glut your soul, on my accursed ugliness!"
39:01
"Oh, mad Christine, who would not heed my warning!"
39:07
"If you love me, as you say, let me go. I promise to be your slave forever!"
39:18
"I shall prove to you the depth of my love. You may return to your world for the present. You may sing in the opera once more."
39:35
"But, remember, you are mine—mine—and you shall not see your lover again! If you do, it is death to you both!"
40:21
"Oh, I swear it, I swear it! I shall never see him again!"
40:33
Beware!
Christine
40:56
One night each year, all Paris mingled forgetful of castethe merry, mad Bal Masque de l'Opera.
42:11
Into the midst of the revelry, strode a spectral figure, robed in red.
42:53
"Beneath your dancing feet are the tombs of tortured men—thus does the Red Death rebuke your merriment!"
43:34
High above Paris—on the roof of the Opera!
44:09
"Are we alone, Raoul? Can anyone overhear what we say?"
44:33
"I have seen him, Raoul! I have seen the Phantom!"
44:51
"He is a monster—a loathsome beast! You must save me from him, Raoul!"
45:03
"Mlle. Carlotta, under the spell of his curse will never sing again. Tomorrow I take her place in Faust. After the performance you must take me away!"
45:21
"I shall be at the stage door. We will flee to England."
45:49
"She has betrayed me!"
47:25
"Not that way—this way!"
48:03
"That was the Opera ghost!"
48:17

49:07
"Wait for me at the west gate."
49:40
"I have heard his voice once more, Raoul. He knows our planseverything."
50:10
"Believe in my love, Raoul. Save me from that monster—oh, save me!"
50:26
"My barouche is waiting outside. We leave immediately after the performance!"
50:51
"Dry your tears, dear, and hastenyou must make ready for your performance!"
51:28
"Come quick! The strangler's work again!"
51:46
"It was there!"
51:50
"I saw the body dangling in the air!"
52:11
"My brotherpoor Joseph, he knew too much about the Phantom!"
52:24
"The Punjab lasso—the strangler's cord!"
52:31
"Assassin! Hide yourself in the deepest shadows—but I shall find you out!"
53:22
Fear for his brother's safety, brought Comte de Chagny to the Opera house that night.
54:48
"I think I can take you to Christine Daaé—if you do exactly as I tell you."
54:57
"Who are you that knows the Phantom's secrets—and betrays them?"
55:04
"I am Ledoux of the Secret Police. I have studied this Phantom for months."
55:38
"I found his hiding place deep within the torture chambers where he himself was confined during the second Revolution."
55:53
"Keep your hand up—the strangler's noose coils quick!"
56:36
"Your hand up—it is a matter of life or death!"
57:03
"The discovery of this trap-door cost Joseph Buquet his life."
58:00
"I am a messenger from the shadowsturn back ere ye perish!"
58:26
"You lied to me! Do you think you and your lover could cheat the Phantom?"
58:38
"Ungrateful fool! You have spurned the spirit thar inspired youthe spirit that made you great!"
58:48
"Now, you shall see the evil spirit that makes my evil face!"
58:59
"No longer like a toad in these foul cellars will I secrete the venom of hatredfor you shall bring me love!"
59:21
"We should be within his hiding place, now."
59:44
"We have fallen into the room of many mirrorsthe old torture chamber!"
1:00:06
"I am human like other menI will not be cheated of my happiness!"
1:00:20
"Raoul! Raoul! My brother—where are you?"
1:00:30
"It seems we have callers."
1:01:34
"Christine! Christine! Can you hear me?"
1:02:06
"Your voice sounds near—Try to find a door that will lead to us."
1:02:31
"Look about you—try to learn where he keeps the keys."
1:03:31
"The callers have departed."

1:04:05
"I have discovered the Phantom's hiding place—tonight my brother will be avenged!"
1:04:55
"Did you hear voices?"
1:05:07
"Perhaps we have more callers."
1:05:28
HEAT—intolerable heat!
1:05:48
"Fools—do they think they can match their wits against Erik?"
1:06:54
"What do you offer for their lives?"
1:07:05
"Your answer quick—they can survive but a few moments!"
1:08:12
"Gunpowder!"
1:08:40
"You have your chance of saving him. Will you be the bride of Erik, or do you prefer to watch your lover die?"
1:09:07
"If you turn the Scorpion—you have said 'Yes' and spared de Chagny."
1:09:18
"Turn the grasshopperand the Opera House is blown to a thousand bits!"
1:10:47
