Wheeee! 25 percent done! And I just watched LND... The music is good, the plot is fair, and I kind of like it. still doesn't lift a candle to POTO, though. But I don't get the huge personality change in the Giry girls...I cried when Christine died...But now I have loads of ideas for future LND chapters! Best songs from that: Beauty Underneath, Beautiful, Devil Take the Hindmost quartet, Why Does She Love Me Meg's Part, Beneath a Moonless Sky, The Phantom Confronts Christine, and Ten Long Years.
Chapter Eleven: Why Have You Brought Me Here, and All I Ask Of You:
(On the roof)
Raoul: WHY HAVE YOU BROUGHT ME HERE?
Christine: DON'T TAKE ME BACK THERE! Seriously, take me back to that pit, and I'll drop- kick you off this roof. HE'LL KILL ME! HIS EYES WILL FIND ME THERE-
Raoul: CHRISTINE, DON'T SAY THAT-
Christine: I can say what I want! THOSE EYES THAT BURN!
Raoul: BE STILL NOW! Please, like calm down. It was just an accident, like Firmin said.
Christine: Of course it was an accident, because Buquet put his head in the noose and flung himself off on purpose! AND IF HE HAS TO KILL, A THOUSAND MEN-
Raoul: FORGET THIS WAKING NIGHTMARE-
Christine: You're not helping, man! THE PHAAANTTTOM OF THE OPERA WILL KILL-
Raoul: THE PHANTOM IS A FABLE! BELIEVE ME-
Christine: (holds her head in her hands) You said that about Queen Victoria! She's very real! AND KILL AGAIN! (looks green in the face)
Raoul: THERE IS NO PHANTOM OF THE OPERA!
Christine and Raoul: MY GOD, WHO IS THIS MAN?
Phantom: Well, that wasn't a reaction I was planning for...
Christine: WHO HUNTS TO KILL?
Raoul: THIS MASK OF DEATH?
Christine: I CAN'T ESCAPE FROM HIM...Unless I left the opera house...
Raoul: WHOSE IS THIS VOICE YOU HEAR...
Christine: I NEVER WILL...Wait, what? Who wrote this piece of shi-
Raoul: WITH EVERY BREATH... Man, the song lyrics for me make no sense... But they sound awesome!
Both: AND IN THIS LABRYINTH! WHERE NIGHT IS BLIIINNNDDDD! THE PPHHHAAAAANNTOM OF THE OPERA IS THERE/ HERE! INSIDE MY/ YOUR MIND!
Christine: (holding her head in her hands) Oh my gosh, I really need to reschedule that doctor's appointment...
Raoul: THERE IS NO PHANTOM OF THE OPERA-
Christine: (grabs him by the shoulders) You say that again and I'll burn all your Barbies' heads off.
Raoul: No need to get crazy here...
Christine: (grabs her inhaler and breathes into it) RAOUL I'VE BEEN THERE, TO HIS WORLD OF UNENDING NIGHT...
Raoul: What?
Christine: Who do you think threw that rock at your head after you came back into my room?
Raoul: That hurt!
Christine: You had it coming. Touch my diary, and you sign your death certificate. TO HIS WORLD WHERE THE DAYLIGHT DISSOLVES INTO DARKNESS... DARKNESS! RAOUL, I'VE SEEN HIM! CAN I EVER FORGET THE SIGHT?
Phantom: Nope... Trust me, even breaking all your mirrors won't help.
Raoul: (puts on sunglasses, and pulls out a neutralizer from MIB) If you will direct your attention to the center of this stick...
Christine: Where did you get that?
Raoul: I stole it from K in MIB3 when he wasn't looking.
Director Todd: FINISH THE SONG!
Christine: CAN I EVER ESCAPE FROM A FACE SO DISTORTED, DEFORMED! Wow, I'm a jerk...IT WAS HARDLY A FACE IN THAT DARKNESS...DARKNESS... Aw come on! Now I'm doing it!
Phantom: Way to be nice, Christine.
Raoul: Well, she's definately lost it...(starts texting)
Christine: Sorry...BUT HIS VOICE FILLED MY SPIRIT WITH A STRANGE SWEET SOUND! AND THAT NIGHT, THERE WAS MUSIC IN MY MIND! AND THROUGH MUSIC MY SOUL BEGAN TO SOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRR! (Raoul's phone screen cracks)
Raoul: (pulls out Meg's phone and continues texting)
Christine: AND I HEARD AS I NEVER HEARD BEFOOORRRREEE! Raoul... (turns around) Are you even listening to me?
Raoul: (looks up) Huh?
Christine: (takes the phone and chucks it halfway across the stage)
Meg: NOOOOOOOOOOOO! My BABY! (runs on stage and cradles it in her arms) Breathe, breathe...
Phone: (Dies)
Meg: (shakes her fists at the sky) WHHHHHYYYYYY!
Madame: Giry: (pulls her daughter off the stage.)
Christine: That was melodramatic...
Director Todd: SING THE SON-
Raoul: (unwillingly hugs Christine) WHAT YOU HEARD WAS A DREAM AND NOTHING MORE!
Christine: It wasn't a stupid dream...BUT IN HIS EYES-
Lucy and Emma from Jekyll and Hyde: LOVE IS WORTH FORGIVING FOR-
Christine: How did they get on stage?
Emma and Lucy: NOW I REALIZE! EVERYTHING WORTH LIVING FOR IS THERE! IN HIS EYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!
Christine: (pushed them off the stage) Get out! This is my moment!
Jekyll: THIS IS THE MOMENT! DAMN ALL THE ODDS-
Raoul: How are these people getting here?
Jekyll: THIS DAY OR NEVER! I SIT FOREVER WITH THE GODS!
Christine: (pulls out Meg's candy gun and shoots all of them) I knew that thing would come in handy... now, where was I...Oh yeah! BUT IN HIS EYES! WAS THE SADNESS OF THE WORLD! THOSE PLEADING EYES! WHCIH BOTH FRIGHTEN... AND ADORE!
Raoul and the Phantom: I am so confused...
Raoul: Do you like him, or are you afraid of him.
Christine: Both.
Phantom: YES! (does a happy dance) Wait, what?
Raoul: CHRISTINE, CHRISTINE!
Phantom: CHRRISSSTINE!
Christine: What was that?
Phantom: (face-palm)
Christine: (Runs around for no good reason, and breaks down sobbing)
Raoul: (goes over and hugs here)
E/C shippers and Phan-girls: (put on war paint and sharpen their weapons)
Raoul: (helps Christine up, still hugging her) NO MORE TALK OF DARK- (stops singing)
Christine: (muffled noises)
Raoul: What?
Christine: Please let go of my head. Your jacket smells like tweed.
Raoul: Ok.
Christine: Why did you stop singing? I like this song.
Raoul: Because of them. (points to the Phangirls, and E/C shippers)
E/C Shippers and Phan-girls: (poised for attack, covered in army camo paint, with spears and knives) DEATH TO THE FOP! DEATH TO THE FOP!
Raoul: They do know I'm not really Raoul... They wouldn't hurt me... right?
Christine: You win some, you lose some.
Director Todd: SING THE SO-
Both: WE GET IT!
Raoul: NO MORE TALK OF DARKNESS! FORGET THESE WIDE EYED FEARS! I'M HERE! NOTHING CAN HARM YOU-
Christine: (still hugging him) You're my protection now... great.
Raoul: MY WORDS WILL WARM AND CALM YOU!
Christine: They're not doing that right now...
Raoul: LET ME BE YOUR FREEDOM! LET DAYLIGHT DRY YOUR TEEARS!
Christine: Then let's continue this song in the morning...
Raoul: I'M HERE! WITH YOU, BESIDES YOU! TO GAURD YOU AND TO GUIDE YOU!
Christine: SAY YOU'LL LOVE ME EVERY WAKING MOMENT, Jeez, this is way too fore-ward...
Raoul: I'm not promising anything.
Christine: TURN MY HEAD WITH TALK OF SUMMER-TIME!
Raoul: That line makes no sense.
Christine: SAY YOU'LL NEED ME WITH YOU, NOW, AND ALWAYS-
Both: Wow... that's way too clingy.
Christine: PROMISE ME, THAT ALL YOU SAY IS TRUE!
Raoul: At least for this play...
Christine: THAT'S ALL I ASK OF YOU! Man, this only works because this is 1905 Paris. No normal guy, living into 2013 would commit to any relationship this fast...
Raoul: LET ME BE YOUR FREEDOM! LET ME BE YOUR LIGHT! YOU'RE SAFE! NO ONE WILL FIND YOU-
Christine: You sound like the Phant-
Raoul: YOUR FEARS ARE FAR BEHIND YOU!
Phantom: Correction: Your fears are right behind you.
Christine: ALL I WANT IS FREEDOM! A WORLD WITH NO MORE NIGHT!
Phantom: Then move to Alaska.
Christine: AND YOU ALWAYS BESIDE ME- This song is so clingy- TO HOLD ME, AND TO HIDE ME!
Raoul: THEN SAY YOU'LL SHARE WITH ME ONE LOVE! ONE LIFETIME-
Christine: You make it sound like a lifetime's the equivalent to a loaf of bread... That's a huge commitment.
Raoul" LET ME LEAD YOU FROM YOUR SOLITUDE!
Chrsitine: Tumblr and Facebook did that already.
Raoul: ANYWHERE YOU GO LET ME GO TOO! (kneels on the ground) CHRISTINE, THAT'S ALL I ASK OF YOU!
Christine: This is happening so fast... SAY YOU'LL SHARE WITH ME ONE LOVE! ONE LIFETIME- Dude, we're humans! We don't reincarnate! SAY THE WORDS AND I WILL FOLLOW YOU!
Both: SHARE EACH DAY WITH ME! EACH NIGHT! EACH MORNING!
Christine: SAY YOU'LL LOVE ME!
Raoul: YOU KNOW I DO!
Phantom: (adds Raoul to his hit list) This kid has got to go.
Both: LOVE ME! THAT'S ALL I ASK OF YOOOOUUUUUUU!
Raoul: (kisses Christine)
Christine: (kinda freaks out a bit)
Both: ANYWHERE, YOU GO LET ME GO TOOOO! LOVE ME! THAT'S ALL I ASK OF YOU! (they kiss again)
Audience: (Standing Ovation)
Every-time this song plays, I fall in love with it...and want to throw a brick at Raoul's head... or break something... E/C FOREVER! PLEASE R&R!
