Poor Fool, He Makes Me Laugh | |
RAOUL: | |
Gentlemen, if you would care to take your seats ... | |
I shall be sitting in Box Five. | |
ANDRE: | |
Do you really think that's wise, monsieur? | |
RAOUL: | |
My dear Andre, | |
there would appear to be no seats available other than Box Five. | |
CONFIDANTE: | |
They say that this youth has set my Lady'sheart aflame! | |
1ST FOP: | |
His Lordship sure would die of shock! | |
2ND FOP: | |
His Lordship is a laughing-st ock! | |
CONFIDANTE: | |
Should he suspect her, God protect her! | |
ALL THREE: | |
Shame! Shame! Shame! | |
This faithless lady's bound for Hades! | |
Shame! Shame! Shame! | |
ANDRE: | |
Nothing like the old operas! | |
FIRMIN: | |
Or the old scenery ... | |
ANDRE: | |
The old singers ... | |
FIRMIN: | |
The old audience ... | |
ANDRE: | |
And every seat sold! | |
FIRMIN: | |
Hardly a disaster beyond all imagination! | |
COUNTESS: | |
Serafimo - your disguise is perfect. | |
Who can this be? | |
DON ATTILIO: | |

My love - I am called to England on affairs of State, | |
and must leave you with your new maid. | |
(Aside) Though I'd gladly take the maid with me. | |
COUNTESS: | |
(aside)The old fool's leaving! | |
DON ATTILI0: | |

I shall not leave, but shall hide over there to observe her! | |
Addio! | |
COUNTESS: | |
Addio! | |
BOTH: | |
Addio! | |
CARLOTTA: | |
Serafimo! Away with this pretense! | |
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my husband's absence! | |
Poor fool, he makes me laugh! | |
Time I tried to get a better better half! | |
Poor fool, he doesn't know! | |
If he knew, the fool, he never would have gone! | |
PHANTOM: | |
Did I not instruct that Box Five was to be kept empty? | |
MEG: | |
He's here: the Phantom of the Opera ... | |
CHRISTINE: | |
It's him! I know it, it's him! | |
CARLOTTA: | |
Your part is silent ... little toad! | |
PHANTOM: | |
A toad, madame? Perhaps it is you who are the toad! | |
CARLOTTA: | |
Serafimo! Away with this pretense! | |
You cannot speak, but kiss me in my ... croak! | |
Poor fool, he makes me laugh! Croak! Croak! | |
PHANTOM: | |
Behold! She is singing to bring down the chandelier! | |
ANDRE: | |
Ladies and gentlemen, | |
the performance will continue in ten minutes time, | |
when the role of the Countess will be sung by Miss Christine Daae. | |
In the meantime, ladies and gentlemen, we shall be giving you the ballet from Act | |
Three of tonight's opera. | |
Maestro, the ballet, NOW! | |
CHRISTINE: | |
Raoul! Raoul! | |
RAOUL: | |
