The Phantom of the Opera Quote
The Phantom: [singing as he descends the staircase at the Masquerade Ball] Why so silent, Good Messieurs? Did you think that I had left you for good? Have you missed me, Good Messieurs? I have written you an opera! 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, it's true her voice is good, she knows, though, should she wish to excel, she has much still to learn, if pride will let her return to me, her teacher... her teacher.
