[as she attempts to leave the first time]

[to Firmin and Andre]
Carlotta : And you two - you're as bad as him! "These things do happen!" Ma... until you stop these things from happening, this thing does not happen! Ubaldo! Andiamo! Bring my doggy and my boxy!

Andre : [trying to convince Carlotta to come back and sing] Your public needs you!
Firmin : We need you, too!
Carlotta : Would you not rather have your precious little ingenue?
Andre , Firmin : Signora, no! The world wants you! Prima donna, first lady of the stage! Your devotees are on their knees to implore you!
Andre : Can you bow out when they're shouting your name?
Firmin : Think of how they all adore you!
Andre , Firmin : Prima donna, enchant us once again!
Andre : Think of your muse...
Firmin : And of the queues round the theatre!
Andre , Firmin : Can you deny us the triumph in store? Sing, prima donna, once more!

Lefevre : As you know, for some weeks there have been rumors of my imminent retirement. I can now tell you that these were all true...
Carlotta : Ah ha!
Lefevre : ...and it is my pleasure to introduce you to the two gentlemen who now own the Opera Populaire: monsieur Richard Firmin and monsieur Gilles Andre.
[polite applause]
Lefevre : I'm sure you've read of their recent fortune amassed in the junk business.
Andre : Scrap metal, actually.

Andre , Firmin : Far too many notes for my taste, and all of them about Christine. All we've heard since we came is Ms. Daaé's name.
Madame Giry : Ms. Daaé has returned.
Firmin : I hope no worse for wear, as far as we're concerned.
Andre : Where precisely is she now?
Madame Giry : I thought it best she was alone.
Meg Giry : She needed rest.
Raoul : May I see her?
Madame Giry : No, monsieur, she will see no one.
Carlotta , Piangi : Will she sing? Will she sing?
Madame Giry : Here, I have a note.
