EXT. PARIS STREETS. DUSK

An open topped carriage races down the snow-covered streets. It is cold and
foggy. The horse's hooves beat on the cobblestones. The DRIVER swathed in
black drives them on. CHRISTINE sits in the back, the wind presses her veil
to her face like a mask.

(ALW note: more music here)

CHRISTINE (V.O)

In sleep he sang to me….
…and speaks my name…

EXT. CEMETERY GATES. DUSK.

The carriage arrives at the gates of the cemetery. CHRISTINE steps down
and lets the carriage go. The great cemetery overlooks the whole of Paris.

EXT. CEMETERY. DUSK.

Close on a bell tolling. We WIDEN to find CHRISTINE, bearing a bouquet of
red roses, gliding past towering MAUSOLEUMS and CROSSES. Great
GARGOYLES and ANGELS stare down at her.

CHRISTINE

YOU WERE ONCE
MY ONE CAMPANION….
(Missing Libretto by repost design)

….DREAMING OF YOU
WON'T HELP ME TO DO
ALL THAT I DREAMED
I COULD….

PASSING BELLS…
….YOU WERE WARM AND GENTLE.

CHRISTINE is arriving at the foot of the mausoleum steps.

CHRISTINE (CONT.)

TOO MANY YEARS
FIGHTING BACK TEARS…

…TEACH ME TO LIVE…
GIVE ME THE STRENGTH
TO TRY….

The camera swoops down and up over CHRISTINE.
(SKYCAM/LOUMA).

CHRISTINE (CONT.)

NO MORE MEMORIES,
NO MORE SILENT TEARS…
…HELP ME SAY
GOODBYE.

She kneels down and lays the red roses on the snow-covered steps. High above
her, the gates at the top of the steps begin go open. NIGHT HAS FALLEN as
we HEARthe PHANTOM's VOICE.

PHANTOM (O.S.)
(Very soft and enticing)

WANDERING CHILD….
SO LOST…
SO HELPLESS…
YEARNING FOR MY
GUIDANCE….

Bewildered, CHRISTINE looks up. She sees that the mausoleum's inner
gates are open, a strange glow emanates from the interior. Light spills
down the steps. She murmurs breathlessly:

CHRISTINE

ANGEL…. OR FATHER…
FRIEND…OR PHANTOM..
WHO IS IT THERE
STARING?

PHANTOM (O.S)
(More and more hypnotic)

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN
YOUR ANGEL…..?

CHRISTINE

ANGEL…OH, SPEAK…
WHAT ENDLESS
LONGINGS
ECHO IN THIS WHISPER!

PHANTOM (O.S)
(Now drawing CHRISTINE towards him)

TOO LONG YOU'VE WANDERED
IN WINTER…
FAR FROM MY
FATHERING GAZE…

CHRISTINE is slowly ascending the steps towards the inner doors
and the light.

CHRISTINE
(Increasingly mesmerized)

WILDLY MY MIND
BEATS AGAINST YOU…

PHANTOM (O.S)

YOU RESIST….

BOTH

….YET THE SOUL
OBEYS…

….COME TO ME (YOUR)

STRANGE ANGEL….

We have begun to discern a dark form within the light of the mausoleum.

PHANTOM (O.S)
(Beckoning her)

I AM YOUR ANGEL OF MUSIC…
COME TO ME: ANGEL OF MUSIC…

But, just as CHRISTINE reaches the last few steps, RAOUL, on a magnificent
white charger, leaps over the wall of the cemetery with a great cry:

RAOUL

ANGEL OF DARKNESS!
CEASE THIS TORMENT!

Inexorably, the PHANTOM continues to beckon CHRISTINE.

PHANTOM (O.S)

I AM YOUR ANGEL OF MUSIC…
COME TO ME: ANGEL OF MUSIC…

CHRISTINE is now at the entrance to the mausoleum. RAOUL meanwhile is
galloping and jumping through the crosses and over the monuments.
Snow and dirt fly.

RAOUL
(In desperation)

Christine! Christine, listen to me!
Whatever you may believe, this man…this thing..
Is not your father!

Coming our of her trance, CHRISTINE turns:

CHRISTINE

Raoul….

And sees RAOUL arriving on the white charger. At last, the PHANTOM
appears up on the top of the mausoleum behind the huge stone cross.

PHANTOM

BRAVO, MONSIEUR!
SUCH SPIRITED WORDS!

He throws the Punjab Lasso at RAOUL but RAOUL grabs it and uses it to drag
the PHANTOM off the mausoleum. What ensues is a spectacular fight through the
cemetery. It is important to realize that RAOUL and the PHANTOM are equally
matched. (ALW note: new music for the fight) The result will be that RAOUL
rescues CHRISTINE and takes her out of the cemetery on horseback.
We end with these lines:

PHANTOM

So be it! Now let it be war upon you both!

RAOUL

But this time the disaster
Will be yours!

They ride off leaving BLOOD RED ROSE PETALS SCATTERED IN THE SNOW.
