Quotes

The Phantom of the Opera

Edit
  • The Phantom: [Christine sees a casket in the room] That is where I sleep. It keeps me reminded of that other dreamless sleep that cures all ills - forever!
  • Christine Daae: You - You are the Phantom!
  • The Phantom: If I am the Phantom, it is because man's hatred has made me so. If I shall be saved, it will be because your love redeems me.
  • The Phantom: [title card] She is singing to bring down the chandelier!
  • The Phantom: [title card]
  • [at the Bal Masque as "The Red Death"]
  • The Phantom: Beneath your dancing feet are the tombs of tortured men! Thus does The Red Death rebuke your merriment!
  • The Phantom: [title card] Feast your eyes! Glut your soul on my accursed ugliness!
  • Joseph Buquet: His eyes are ghastly beads in which there is no light - like holes in a grinning skull! His face is like leprous parchment, yellow skin strung tight over protruding bones! His nose - there is no nose!
  • The Phantom: [title card] Did you hear voices?
  • [Christine shakes her head]
  • The Phantom: [title card] Perhaps we have more callers.
  • Title Card: Heat - Intolerable heat!
  • The Phantom: [title card] If you turn the Scorpion - you have said 'Yes' and spared de Chagny. Turn the grasshopper - - and the Opera House is blown to a thousand bits!
  • The Phantom: [title card] What do you offer for their lives? Your answer quick - they can survive but a few moments!
  • The Phantom: [title card]
  • [after having drowned Raoul's brother]
  • The Phantom: The callers have departed.
  • Christine Daae: If you love me as you say you do you, will let me go? I promise to be your slave forever.
  • Former Opera House Owner: [to new Opera House Owners] It is barely possible you may hear of a ghost, a Phantom of the Opera!
  • The Phantom: [title card] Christine, tonight I placed the world at your feet!
  • The Phantom: [title card] She has betrayed me!
  • The Phantom: Men once knew me as Erik, but for many years I have lived in these cellars, a nameless legend.
  • The Phantom: You are in no peril as long as you do not touch my mask.
  • The Phantom: Look not upon my mask - think rather of my devotion which has brought you the gift of song.
  • The Phantom: I am human like other men - I will not be cheated of my happiness!
  • Title Card: Sanctuary of song lovers, The Paris Opera House, rising nobly over medieval torture chambers, hidden dungeons, long forgotten.
  • The Phantom: [to Christine] I have brought you here - five cellars underground - because I love you! For long weary months I have awaited this hour! So that which is good within me, aroused by your purity, might plead for your love.
  • The Phantom: Since first I saw your face, this music has been singing to me of you and of - love triumphant! Yet listen - there sounds an ominous undercurrent of warning!
  • The Phantom: No longer like a toad in these foul cellars will I secrete the venom of hatred - for you shall bring me love!
  • Joseph Buquet: Who are you that knows the Phantom's secrets - and betrays them?
  • Ledoux: I am Ledoux of the Secret Police. I have studied this Phantom for months.
