[00:03.080] Sold.
[00:04.900] Your number, sir?
[00:06.500] Thank you.
[00:08.040] Lot 665, ladies and gentlemen.
[00:11.730] A papier-mâché musical box in the shape of a barrel organ
[00:15.570] Attached, the figure of a monkey in Persian robes playing the cymbals
[00:20.450] This item, discovered in the vaults of the theatre
[00:24.130] still in working order
[00:26.180] Showing here
[00:27.710] May I start at twenty francs?
[00:29.720] Fifteen then. Fifteen I am bid.
[00:32.810] Twenty, sir, thank you. Twenty.
[00:34.280] Twenty-five, thank you, madame.
[00:36.650] Thirty. Selling at thirty, then.
[00:38.900] Thirty once, twice
[00:42.100] Sold for thirty francs
[00:44.010] to the Vicomte de Chagny. Thank you, sir
[00:48.800] A collector's piece indeed
[00:53.510] every detail exactly as she said
[00:59.200] She often spoke of you, my friend
[01:02.940] Your velvet lining and your figurine of lead
[01:08.770] Will you still play when all the rest of us are dead?
[01:17.810] Lot 666, then
[01:20.670] A chandelier in pieces
[01:22.940] Some of you may recall the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opera
[01:28.000] A mystery never fully explained
[01:30.170] We are told, ladies and gentlemen
[01:32.020] that this is the very chandelier which figures in the famous disaster
[01:36.990] Our workshops have restored it
[01:39.500] and fitted all parts of it with wiring for the new electric light
[01:42.900] so that we may get a hint of what it may look like when reassembled
[01:46.940] Perhaps we may frighten away the ghost of so many years ago
[01:51.590] with a little illumination
[01:53.630] gentlemen
[00:03.080] Sold.
[00:04.900] Your number, sir?
