The de Chagny House:

Philippe, Raoul's elder brother, is seated in the sitting room of his
estate. Raoul is standing near a book case (stage right) and gesturing
wildly.

Philippe:
Raoul, I cannot allow you to marry that dancer!

Raoul (angrily):
Her name is Christine and I don't care a damn what you say. I'm twenty two
years old Philippe, which means I'm old enough to do what I want. I am
going to marry Christine because I love her and nothing you do is going to
change the way I feel about her.

Philippe (cold fury is in his voice):
Do you love her or do you pity her? Either way, it doesn't matter. This is
not an issue about love! It is an issue of honor. You are a de Chagny, she
is a DaaƩ. I cannot, as a member of the de Chagny family, allow this
wedding.

Raoul:
To hell with the de Chagny name! Philippe, a name is just a name for God's
sake! Philippe, you are my brother. No, you're more like a father to me.
You're the only male figure I've ever known in my life and I've always
loved and respected you. Do not restrict my feelings for a woman because
you want to uphold the honor of the de Chagny name. Allow me to marry her,
not as a de Chagny, but as Raoul your bother and in a way, your adopted
son.
THINK OF THIS MY BROTHER,
SEE IN THIS SOME HIGHER PLAN,
YOU MUST USE YOUR PRECIOUS HEART
TO HELP ME BECOME A BETTER MAN.
BY CONSENTING TO THIS MARRIAGE
BY LETTING CHRISTINE INTO YOUR HEART
YOU'LL HAVE SHOWN ALL YOUR GOODNESS
AND WE'LL NEVER BE APART.
PHILIPPE PHILIPPE I BEG YOU
FOR YOUR BROTHER'S SAKE DO WHAT'S RIGHT
WILL YOU ALLOW THIS MARRIAGE?
WILL YOU PLEASE TELL ME TONIGHT?
OH PHILIPPE, PHILIPPE DON'T QUESTION
WHAT YOUR SACRIFICE'LL BE FOR
CHRISTINE AND I WILL BE HAPPY
AND YOU AND I CAN BE CLOSE ONCE MORE.

Philippe (who was softened by his brother's plea):
Raoul, you know I love you more than life itself. You're love for this girl
puts me in a very awkward position, because I have to uphold the de Chagny
honor. However, I cannot hurt my brother or mar his happiness.
So Raoul, you have my consent as well as my blessing to marry Christine.

Raoul hugs his brother in thanks. No words can be spoken because of the
emotion both are feeling. Then, finally letting go, Raoul rushes to one of
the guest rooms to tell Christine DaaƩ the good news.
