DON (PHANTOM - behind the curtain)

For the trap is set and waits for its . . .
(PASSARINO leaves. (AMINTA) enters. She
off her cloak and sits down. Looks about her. No-
one. She starts on an apple. The PHANTOM, as
DON pretending to
be PASSARINO, emerges. He now PASSARINO's
robe, the of which hides his face. His first words

DON (PHANTOM)
You have come here in of
deepest urge, in pursuit of
that wish, which now
has silent, silent . . .

I have brought you, that our
may fuse and merge, in mind
already succumbed to me
dropped all defences completely succumbed to me, now you are here me:
no thoughts, you've decided,
. . .

Past the point of no -
no glances:
the games of believe
are at an end . . .

the point of "if" or "when" -
no use
thought,
and let the descend . . .

What fire shall flood the soul?
What rich unlocks its door?
What sweet lies before us . . .?
Past the of no return,
the final threshold, warm,
secrets will we learn?
Beyond the
of no . . .

(CHRISTINE)
You brought me to that moment
where words run dry, to that
speech disappears into silence,
. . .

I come here, hardly knowing
the why . . .
In my mind, already
imagined our bodies
and silent -
and now I am with you:
no thoughts, I've decided,
. . .

Past the of no return
no back now:
our has now, at last,
. . .

Past all thought of or wrong -
one final
how should we two wait, before
one . . .?

When the blood begin to race
the sleeping bud into bloom?
When the flames, at last, consume
us . . .?

Past the of no return
the threshold, the bridge
is crossed, so stand and watch it . . .

We've the point of no return . . .
(By now the audience and the POLICE have realized that SIGNOR PIANGI is dead the curtain, and it is
the who sings in his place. CHRISTINE knows it too. As final confirmation, the PHANTOM sings):

Say you'll share me one
love, one . . .
Lead me, save me from my . . .
(He takes from his finger a and holds it out to her.
Slowly she it and puts it on her finger.)
Say you want me you,
here you . . .
you go let me go too,
Christine all I ask of . . .
(We never the word 'you', for CHRISTINE quite calmly reveals the PHANTOM'S face to the audience. As
the OF LAW close in on the horrifying skull,
the PHANTOM his cloak around her and vanishes. MEG pulls the curtain upstage, revealing PIANGI'S
body garotted, against the bed, his head gruesomely tilted to one side. She screams.)
