Madame Giry Wait
GIRY
Please, Monsieur, I know no more than anyone else
RAOUL
That's not true
GIRY uneasily
Monsieur, don't ask There have been too many accidents
RAOUL
Accidents
Please, Madame Giry, for all our sakes
GIRY
Very well It was years ago
There was a traveling fair in the city gypsies
I was very young, studying to be a ballerina
One of many, living in the dormitories of the opera house
WOMAN
See the wonder from the East
CRUEL MAN
Come Come Come inside Come and see the Devil's Child
Man
Murder Murder
Policeman
Which way
Man
That way
GIRY
I hid him from the world and its cruelties
He has known nothing else of life since then, except this opera house
It was his playground and, now, his artistic domain
He's a genius He's an architect and designer
He's a composer and a magician A genius, Monsieur
RAOUL
Clearly, Madame Giry, genius has turned to madness
