But, Christine . . . Fear can Turn to love - you'll Learn to see, to Find the man Behind the Monster: this . . . Repulsive Carcass, who Seems a beast, but secretly Dreams of beauty, Secretly . . . Secretly . . . Oh, Christine . . .

(The lair sinks into the floor as the PHANTOM and CHRISTINE leave)
