[CARLOTTA, sung]
Think of me, think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me once in a while
Please promise me you'll try
When you find that, once again, you long
To take your heart back and be free
[A piece of scenery falls and knocks Carlotta over, pinning her to the stage.]
(spoken)
[MONSIEUR REYER]
Oh my god, Signora!
[MEG]
He's here, the Phantom of the Opera
[LEFEVRE]
Signora, are you alright? Buquet! For God's sake, man, what's going on up there?
[BUQUET]
Please monsieur, don't look at me. As God's my judge, I wasn't at my post. Please monsieur, there's no one there. Or if there is, well then... It must be a ghost
[ANDRE]
Signora, these things do happen
[CARLOTTA (to Monsieur Leferve)]
For the past three years, "these things do happen." And did you stop them from happening? No!
(to Andre and Firmin)
And you two! You are as bad as him! "These things do happen." Ugh! Until you stop these things from happening, this thing does not happen! Ubaldo! Andiamo! Bring my doggy and my boxy!
[PIANGO]
Amateurs
[CARLOTTA]
Bye-bye! Ciao!
[LEFEVRE]
Gentlemen, good luck. If you need me, I shall be in Australia
[MADAME GIRY]
I have a message, sir, from the opera ghost
[FIRMIN]
Oh, God in heaven, you're all obsessed
[MADAME GIRY]
He welcomes you to his opera house—
[FIRMIN]
"His" opera house?
[MADAME GIRY]
And commands that you continue to leave Box Five empty, for his use, and reminds you that his salary is due
[FIRMIN]
His salary?
[MADAME GIRY]
Well, Monsieur Lefèvre used to give him 20,000 francs a month
[FIRMIN]
20,000 francs?!
[MADAME GIRY]
Perhaps you can afford more, with the Vicomte as your patron?
[FIRMIN]
Madame, I had hoped to make that announcement public tonight when the Vicomte was to join us for the gala. But obviously, we shall now have to cancel, as it appears we have lost our star!
[FIRMIN]
A full house, Andre! We shall have to refund a full house!
[MADAME GIRY]
Christine Daaé could sing it, sir
[ANDRE]
What, a chorus girl?
[MADAME GIRY]
Let her sing for you, monsieur. She has been well taught
[FIRMIN]
André, this is doing nothing for my nerves
[ANDRE]
Well, she's very pretty

[CHRISTINE, sung]
Think of me, think of me fondly
When we've said goodbye
Remember me once in a while
Please promise me you'll try
When you find that, once again, you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me
We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me
Think of all the things
We've shared and seen
Don't think about the way
Things might have been
Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me, trying too hard
To put you from my mind
Recall those days
Look back on all those times
Think of the things we'll never do
There will never be a day
When I won't think of you
[RAOUL]
Can it be? Can it be Christine?
Bravo!
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me
But I remember her
[CHRISTINE]
Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade
They have their season, so do we
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think—
[CHRISTINE vocalizing]
—of me!
