You've seen something, haven't you ? 

 I don't know what I've seen . . . Please don't ask me, monsieur . . . 

Very well. It was years ago. There was a travelling fair in the city. Tumblers, conjurors, human oddities . . . 

And there was . . . I shall never forget him: a man . . . locked in a cage 

In a cage . . ? 

A prodigy, monsieur! Scholar, architect, musician . 

A composer . . . 
 
And an inventor too, monsieur. They boasted he had once built for the Shah of Persia, a maze of mirrors . . .

I have seen him again . . . 

And so our 
Phantom's this man . . .

Madame Giry . . .!
