    DON JUAN (PHANTOM - behind the curtain)
    Passarino - go away!
    For the trap is set and waits for its prey . . .
    (PASSARINO leaves. CHRISTINE (AMINTA) enters. She
    takes off her cloak and sits down. Looks about her. No-
    one. She starts on an apple. The PHANTOM, disguised as
    DON JUAN pretending to
    be PASSARINO, emerges. He now wears PASSARINO's
    robe, the cowl of which hides his face. His first words
    startle her)
    DON JUAN (PHANTOM)
    You have come here
    in pursuit of
    your deepest urge,
    in pursuit of
    that wish,
    which till now
    has been silent,
    silent . . .
    I have brought you,
    that our passions
    may fuse and merge -
    in your mind
    you've already
    succumbed to me
    dropped all defences
    completely succumbed to me -
    now you are here with me:
    no second thoughts,
    you've decided,
    decided . . .
    Past the point
    of no return -
    no backward glances:
    the games we've played
    till now are at
    an end . . .
    Past all thought
    of "if" or "when" -
    no use resisting:
    abandon thought,
    and let the dream
    descend . . .
    What raging fire
    shall flood the soul?
    What rich desire
    unlocks its door?
    What sweet seduction
    lies before
    us . . .?
    Past the point
    of no return,
    the final threshold -
    what warm,
    unspoken secrets
    will we learn?
    Beyond the point
    of no return . . .
    AMINTA (CHRISTINE)
    You have brought me
    to that moment
    where words run dry,
    to that moment
    where speech
    disappears
    into silence,
    silence . . .
    I have come here,
    hardly knowing
    the reason why . . .
    In my mind,
    I've already
    imagined our
    bodies entwining
    defenceless and silent -
    and now I am
    here with you:
    no second thoughts,
    I've decided,
    decided . . .
    Past the point
    of no return -
    no going back now:
    our passion-play
    has now, at last,
    begun . . .
    Past all thought
    of right or wrong -
    one final question:
    how long should we
    two wait, before
    we're one . . .?
    When will the blood
    begin to race
    the sleeping bud
    burst into bloom?
    When will the flames,
    at last, consume
    us . . .?
    BOTH
    Past the point
    of no return
    the final threshold -
    the bridge
    is crossed, so stand
    and watch it burn . . .
    We've passed the point
    of no return . . .
    (By now the audience and the POLICE have realised
    that SIGNOR PIANGI is dead behind the curtain, and it is
    the PHANTOM who sings in his place. CHRISTINE
    knows it too. As final confirmation, the PHANTOM
    sings):
    PHANTOM
    Say you'll share with
    me one
    love, one lifetime . . .
    Lead me, save me
    from my solitude . . .
    (He takes from his finger a ring and holds it out to her.
    Slowly she takes it and puts it on her finger.)
    Say you want me
    with you,
    here beside you . . .
    Anywhere you go
    let me go too -
    Christine
    that's all I ask of . . .
    (We never reach the word 'you', for CHRISTINE quite
    calmly reveals the PHANTOM'S face to the audience. As
    the FORCES OF LAW close in on the horrifying skull,
    the PHANTOM sweeps his cloak around her and
    vanishes.
    MEG pulls the curtain upstage, revealing PIANGI'S
    body garotted, propped against the bed, his head
    gruesomely tilted to one side. She screams.)
    TRANSFORMATION TO:
    REVERSE VIEW OF THE STAGE
    (POLICE, STAGEHANDS, etc. rush onto the stage in
    confusion. Also: ANDRE, FIRMIN, RAOUL, GIRY,
    CARLOTTA and MEG)
    CARLOTTA
    What is it? What has happened? Ubaldo!
    ANDRE
    Oh, my God . . . my God . . .
    FIRMIN
    We're ruined, Andre - ruined!
    GIRY (to RAOUL)
    Monsieur le Vicomte! Come with me!
    CARLOTTA (rushing over to PIANGI's body)
    Oh, my darling, my darling . . . who has done
    this ...?
    (hysterical, attacking ANDRE)
    You! Why did you let this happen?
    (She breaks down, as PIANGI's body is carried off on a
    stretcher)
    GIRY
    Monsieur le Vicomte, I know where they are.
    RAOUL
    But can I trust you?
    GIRY
    You must. But remember: your hand at the level of
    your eyes!
    RAOUL
    But why . . .?
    GIRY
    Why? The Punjab lasso, monsieur. First Buquet.
    Now Piangi.
    MEG (holding up her hand)
    Like this, monsieur. I'll come with you.
    GIRY
    No, Meg! No, you stay here!
    (to RAOUL)
    Come with me, monsieur. Hurry, or we shall be too
    late . .
