The Phantom of the Opera

Erik The Phantom of the Opera: [reaches for his ears] My God! The place really is haunted; what is that?

Gerard Carriere: Well, without looking, I would say with confidence it must be Carlotta.

Erik The Phantom of the Opera: Who?

Gerard Carriere: The new star.

Erik The Phantom of the Opera: She can't sing!

Gerard Carriere: [chuckles] Well, obviously she doesn't know that.

Erik The Phantom of the Opera: Well, someone should tell her.

Gerard Carriere: She's married to the new manager.

Erik The Phantom of the Opera: Good God. This means she's probably going to sing all the time. What kind of horror are you leaving me in?

Gerard Carriere: Erik, what are we going to do about all of this?

Erik The Phantom of the Opera: I know what to do about it. I'll kill them both.

Gerard Carriere: Oh, come on, now!

Erik The Phantom of the Opera: I'm teasing; probably the only one I need to kill is her.

Gerard Carriere: Erik!

Erik The Phantom of the Opera: What has happened to your sense of humour?

Gerard Carriere: My humour?

Erik The Phantom of the Opera: You're right. I'm sorry. I'm just not used to killing people; it threw me off a bit.
