• (Gerard Butler) "Down once more to the dungeon of my black despair. Down we plunge to the prison of my mind. Down that path into darkness deep as Hell. Why, you ask, was I bound and chained in this cold and dismal place? Not for any mortal sin, but the wickedness of my abhorrent face."

• (Gerard Butler) "This loathsome gargoyle, who burns in bell, but secretly yearns for heaven. Secretly -- secretly --"

• (Gerard Butler) "Slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour. Grasp it, sense it; tremulous and tender. Turn your face away from the garish light of day, turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light; and listen to the music of the night."

• (Gerard Butler) "Insolent boy. This slave of fashion basking in your glory. Ignorant fool."

• (Gerard Butler) "That fate which condemns me to wallow in blood has also denied me the joys of the flesh. This face; the infection which poisons our love.

• (Gerard Butler) "You have come here, in pursuit of your deepest urge. In pursuit of that wish which 'til now has been silent -- SILENT. I have brought you, that our passions may fuse and merge. In your mind you've already sucummed to me. Dropped all defenses, completely sucummed to me. Now you are here with me. No second thoughts. You've decided -- DECIDED. Past the point of no return. No backward glances -- our games of make-believe 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 desires unlock its door? What sweet seductions lie before us? Past the point of no return. The final threshold -- what warm unspoken secrets will we learn? Beyond the point of no -- return."

Here I bring the finished score; Don Juan Triumphant. Fondest greetings to you all. A few instructions now before rehearsals start: Carlotta must be taught to act, not her normal trick of strutting 'round the stage. Our Don Juan must lose some weight; it's not healthy in a man of Piangi's age. And my managers must learn that their place is in an office. not the arts. As for our star, Miss Christine Daae -- no doubt she'll do her best.
