Love Never Dies - Giry Confronts The Phantom

 

MEG:
Tell me, did you watch?
Tell me that you saw!
Did you hear the crowd,
The way the cheered?
I hope you're proud!
Did you like the new routine?
Was it passable I mean?
I could change a thing or two.
What should I do?
No don't say it I can guess,
But I promise ill progress.

THE PHANTOM:
(Spoken)
Yes of course. Whatever you think is best.

MEG:
(Singing)
Did the costume look okay?
Too revealing, would you say?
People seemed to like the view.

MADAME GIRY:
(Spoken)
Meg, please.

MEG:
(Singing)
I could show a bit more skin
That should surely bring 'em in-

MADAME GIRY:
Meg!
Can't you see that the master's at work?
Can't you see that his mind's somewhere else?
Can't you see that, obviously,
He's thinking of things more important than you?

THE PHANTOM:
(Spoken)
Careful, Madame, you're forgetting yourself.

MADAME GIRY:
(Singing)
Don't you see he forgot what this is?
Opening day, a big deal, what's the fuss?
Our success
Means not I guess
Compared to the things that the master must do!

THE PHANTOM:
(Spoken)
That's quite enough!

MADAME GIRY:
(Singing)
Christine! Christine!

MEG:
Christine?

MADAME GIRY:
(Spoken)
Meg, leave. Now.

(Singing)
In Paris, when the mob surrounded you,
Who was there?
We were there.
Where was she
When the law men hounded you?
Gone and long gone.
We stayed on.
Who concealed you safe away?
Smuggled you up to Calais?
Found a freighter out of France?

THE PHANTOM:
I don't see the problem.
This is ancient history.

MADAME GIRY:
And, once here,
When the side show hired you,
Who stood by?
Meg and I.
While they kept you on display,
Who kept working night and day?
Who gave you their very lives?
And who helped you buy that side show?
Who helped you finance your scheme?
Who wouldn't quit 'till your act was a hit
And your hit could become your dream?
Who plied the politicians?
Lured investors and the press?
No not her.
And who stayed with you?
Helped you and advised you?
We stayed with you,
Loved and idolized you.
She betrayed you!
Shunned you and despised you!
She chose Raoul,
Chose his beauty and youth.
It's long past time you faced up to-

THE PHANTOM:
Enough!
You'll be relayed as I promised you would.
Now, if you've anything else left to say.

Oh, Christine.
My, Christine.
Yes you've fled from my face once before,
But Christine,
What we shared even you can't ignore!
My Christine!
I'll be no longer denied.
I'll have you back by my side.
My sweet Christine!
And, come what may,
I swear somehow some way
I will hear you sing once more!
