Quasimodo:"Forgiveness."
Frollo:"You said 'Festival'. *closes book and walks away slowly*"
Quasimodo:"No."
Catalina and Simoun:"Oh no."
Then, the four walked away to the balcony. Frollo was telling Quasimodo about his hate towards the Feast of Fools. When, Quasimodo and Frollo were at the balcony,
Frollo:"Quasimodo, can't you understand? When you're heartless mother abandoned you as a child, anyone would have drowned you."
Catalina:*whispers* "Liar."
Simoun:*whispers* "Hypocrite."
Quasimodo:"I'm sorry, sir."
Frollo:"Oh, my dear boy. You don't know that it's like out there. I do. I do." Music for the second song of the movue comes on and Frollo starts.
"The world is cruel.
The world is wicked.
It's I alone whom you can trust in this whole city.
I am your only friend."
Simoun:"Oh come on!"
"I who keep you, teach you, dress you, feed you.
I who look upon you without fear.
How can I protect you, boy, unless you stay in here.
Away in here." They walk again to enter the belltower.
Frollo:"Remember what I've taught you, Quasimodo.
You are deformed."
Quasimodo:"I am deformed."
Simoun:"Claude is lame."
Catalina:*giggles* "I get that pun, Simoun."
Frollo:"And you are ugly."
Quasimodo:"And I am ugly."
Catalina:"And Frollo's a virgin. *chuckles with Simoun*"
Frollo:"And these are crimes for which the world shows little pity."
Simoun:"And he's a criminal who forever shows little pity."
Frollo:"You do not comprehend."
Quasimodo:"You are my one defender."
Frollo:"Out there they'll revile you as a monster."
Quasimodo:"I am a monster."
Catalina and Simoun:"But he's an angel."
Frollo:"Out there they will hate and scorn and jeer."
Quasimodo:"Only a monster."
Catalina and Simoun:"Only an angel."
Frollo:"Why invite their calumny and consternation?
Stay in here, be faithful to me."
Quasimodo:"I am faithful."
Catalina and Simoun:"He is wonderful."
Frollo:"Be grateful to me."
Quasimodo:"I am grateful."
Catalina and Simoun:"He is careful."
Frollo:"Do as I say.
Obey."
Frollo and Quasimodo:" And stay in here."
Catalina and Simoun:" And go out there."
Frollo:*walks away*
Quasimodo:"You are good to me, Master. I'm sorry."
Catalina:*spits at Frollo's robe as he passes by him*
Frollo:*turns around, angry* "Who spitted at my robe?"
Catalina and Simoun:*acts innocent*
Frollo:*rolls eyes* *calms down a bit* "You are forgiven, Quasimodo. But, remember Quasimodo, this is your sanctuary." He walks away and goes down the stairs with a smirk.
Quasimodo:*whispers* "My sanctuary."
"Safe behind these windows and these parapets of stone. *climbs up window with Catalina and Simoun*
Gazing a the people down below me.
All my life I watch them as I hide up here alone." *climbs down while Catalina and Simoun pick up a wooden figurine*
Quasimodo:"Hungry for the histories they show me."
Catalina:"Quasimodo's good at carving and singing. *gives doll to Quasimodo*"
Simoun:"Yeah."
Quasimodo:"All my life I memorize their faces.
Knowing them as they will never know me.
All my life I wonder how it feels to pass a day."
Quasimodo, Catalina and Simoun:" Not above them.
But part of them."
Outside...
Quasimodo:"And out there
Living in the sun
Give me one day out there.
All I ask is one
To hold forever."
Catalina:"Well, he's going to have Madellaine."
Simoun:"A dumb blonde."
Catalina:"Really, Simoun?"
Simoun:"What? Isn't there a fact that blondes are dumb?"
Catalina:"Then, how about Madellaine Coicitier?"
Simoun:"Judge Ben's French German Jewish friend? I know she's a blonde, Catalina. But at least she's not dumb. So, my bad."
Catalina:"Be careful with stereotypes. Okay?"
Simoun:"Okay."
Quasimodo:"Out there
Where they all live unaware.
What I'd give."
Simoun:"What he'd give."
Quasimodo:"What I'd dare."
Catalina:"What he'd dare."
Quasimodo:"Just to"
Catalina:"Live one day"
Quasimodo, Catalina and Simoun:" Out there."
Quasimodo:"Out there
Among the millers and the weavers and their wives
Through the roofs and gables, I can see them
Simoun:"Everyday they shout and scold and
Go about their lives"
Quasimodo:" Heedless of the gift it is to be them
If I was in their skin."
Catalina:"If he was in their skin."
Quasimodo:"I'd treasure every instant."
Catalina:"He'd treasure every instant."
Quasimodo and Simoun:"Out there
Strolling by the Seine
Taste a morning out there
Like ordinary men
Who freely walk about there"
Quasimodo and Catalina:"Just one day and then"
Quasimodo:"I swear I'll be content."
Catalina:"He swear he'll be content."
Quasimodo:"With my share"
Simoun:"With his share"
Quasimodo and Simoun:"Won't resent
Won't despair
Old and bent"
Quasimodo:" I won't care"
Catalina and Simoun:"He won't care"
Quasimodo:" I'll have spent"
Catalina and Simoun:" He'll have spent"
Quasimodo, Catalina and Simoun:" One day
Out there."
Catalina and Simoun fell to the floor and sat. While Quasimodo also sat with them.
Simoun:*pants* "You are *pants* so *pants* so great, *pants* Quasi."
Catalina:"Yeah. *pants*"
Quasimodo:"Thanks. And, Catalina, at least you changed your names into French."
Catalina:*fully rested* "Well, I know and read that by this time the French, English and Spanish are enemies."
Quasimodo:"True. Master Frollo says that England is really ours."
Catalina:"That's what I aslo think of. If only King William I took England as a French territory."
Simoun:"King William I is French. Right, Catalina?"
Catalina:"Right."
Simoun:"Then, how will we speak English? How will you know about the kings and queens of England?"
Catalina:"Meh. You're right. At least, in 19 years, England and Spain will unite by marriage to fight the French. But that will fail. Then, Henry VIII will Frenchize England or in other words make England French thanks to Anne Boleyn." Then, the three of them heard the gentle and kind voice of the Archdeacon.
Archdeacon:"Quasimodo? Quasimodo?"
Quasimodo:"Oh. Its the Archdeacon. *stands up* You must meet him. He's the kindest second master I have." Catalina and Simoun approved and the three went inside.
Archdeacon:*smiles softly* "Quasimodo, have you ate?"
Quasimodo:*sighs* "No."
Archdeacon:"I've brought food." The Archdeacon brought in his basket. The basket has bread, grapes and grilled meat. The Archdeacon prepared the table and put Frollo's sliver plateware as Quasimodo's plateware. Quasimodo sat down and began to ate.
Archdeacon:"Hello there, children. Who are you and how are you?"
Catalina:"Well, you're not Frollo. So, my name is Catalina Garcia."
Simoun:"I'm Simoun Villaverde. And both of us are fine as friends of Quasimodo."
Archdeacon:"Good. Are you hungry?"
Catalina remembered something. She remembered that after "Out There", Phoebus arrives, Esmeralda and Djali dance and many more. So, she whispered to Simoun,
"Simoun, naalala mo ang scene pagkatapos ng 'Out There'? (Simoun, do you remember the secne after 'Out There'?)"
Simoun:*eyes widened* "Oh yeah. Come on, let's go."
Catalina:"Quasi, Father,"
Simoun:"My friend and I must leave"
Catalina:"For something very important."
Quasimodo:"Ok. You may go. And don't get caught."
Archdeacon:"Quasimodo is right. Be careful."
Catalina and Simoun:"We will."
They left and climbed down the ladder. The two just can't wait to see Esmeralda, Djali and Phoebus.
A/N I know that you are wondering about Judge Ben and Madellaine Coicitier. Both of them are good characters. And, yes, the Archdeacon is my favorite. He was also my inspiration for Father David Rivera. And Father David is generous to the poor, merciful, rebellious against the corrupt and a friend of Catalina, Simoun and Judge Ben. Yes. I creted these characters. Except for the Hunchback of Notre Dame characters. Bye and have a good day or night.
