Clopin: [singing] So, here is a riddle to guess if you can, sing the bells of Notre Dame: What makes a monster and what makes a man? Whatever their pitch, you feel them bewitch you, the rich and the ritual knells of the bells of Notre Dame.

Man In Crowd: That's no mask.
Woman In Crowd: It's his face! He's hideous!
Man In Crowd: It's the bellringer from Notre Dame!
[the crowd gasps in fright]
Quasimodo: Oh! Oh! Oh!
[buries his face in his hands]
Clopin: [appearing onstage reassuring the audience, then soon crowning Quasi] Ladies and gentlemen, don't panic. We

asked for the ugliest face in Paris, and here he is! Quasimodo, the hunchback of Notre Dame!

Frollo: [to Quasimodo] Oh, my dear Quasimodo. You don't know what it's like out there. I do. I do.
[sings]
Frollo: The world is cruel, the world is wicked / It's I alone that you can trust in this whole city. / I am your only friend. / I who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you / I who look upon you without fear. / How can I protect you boy,

unless you always stay in here, / Away in here?

Laverne: Nobody wants to stay cooped up here forever.
Quasimodo: [gets up excitedly] You're right! I'll go!
[the gargoyles cheer as Quasimodo tells them what he'll do in preparation]
Quasimodo: I'll get cleaned up, I'll stroll down those stairs, and march *through* the doors, and...

Phoebus: I'm sorry sir, she claimed sanctuary. There's nothing I can do.
Frollo: Then drag her outside and...
The Archdeacon: Frollo! You will not touch her!
[addressing Esmeralda]
The Archdeacon: Don't worry. Minister Frollo learned years ago to respect the sanctity of the church.

The Archdeacon: [coming downstairs] Frollo, have you gone mad? I will not tolerate this assault on the house of God!
Frollo: [flinging the Archdeacon down the stairwell] Silence, you old fool! The hunchback and I have unfinished business to attend to. And this time, you will not interfere.

Frollo: [as Quasi hesitantly reaches down to pick up a loose grape so as not to wake the unconscious Pheobus, who is hidden under the table] I think... you're hiding something.
Quasimodo: [sitting back up] Oh no, Master, I... There's no...
Frollo: [interrupting] You're not eating, boy.
Quasimodo: [gobbling his

grapes] 'Tis very good. Thank you.
[we hear Pheobus groan]
Quasimodo: Mmmm.
[Pheobus groans again, then Quasi kicks him in the chin to silence him, then coughs loudly to cover up the noise]
Quasimodo: Seeds.

Esmeralda: Let's see, there's one, two, three, four, five... ten of you, and only one of me
[pulling a handkerchief out of her pocket and wiping her nose in it]
Esmeralda: what's a poor girl to do?
[she pretends to cry at first, then sneezes into the handkerchief and disappears]

Clopin: [singing] Once a year we throw a party here in town / Once a year we turn all Paris upside-down / Every man's a king and every king's a clown / Once again it's Topsy-turvy Day!

Frollo: And look what else I've caught in my net. Captain Phoebus, back from the dead. Another "miracle", no doubt. I shall remedy that.

Frollo: [to Quasimodo] Quasimodo, can't you understand? When your heartless mother abandoned you as a child, anyone else would have drowned you. And this my thanks for taking you in and raising you as my son?

Victor: Perhaps he's sick.
Laverne: Impossible. If twenty years of listening to you two hasn't made him sick by now, nothing will.

Hugo: Who says ya gotta ask?
Quasimodo: [frowning slightly] Oh, no!
Hugo: Yaaaa sneak out...
Laverne: It's just one afternoon.
Quasimodo: I, I couldn't.
Hugo: Annnnd ya sneak back in!
Laverne: And he'll never know you were gone!

Quasimodo: [clasping his head with his hands] And if I got caught?
Victor: Better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

Frollo: [supervising someone being whipped, just as Phoebus arrives] Stop.
Torturer: Sir?
Frollo: Ease up. Wait between lashes. Otherwise, the old sting will dull him to the new.
Torturer: Yes, sir.
Frollo: [turns to Phoebus] Ah, so this is the gallant Captain Phoebus, home from the wars.

Phoebus: Reporting for duty as ordered, sir.
Frollo: Your service record precedes you, Phoebus. I expect nothing but the best from a war hero of your caliber.
Phoebus: And you shall have it, sir. I guarantee it.
Frollo: Yes. You know, my last captain of the guards was, um, a bit of a disappointment to me.

[whip crack, followed by screaming]
Frollo: Well, no matter, I'm sure you'll... *whip* my men into shape.
Phoebus: Well, that's a great... tremendous honor, sir.

Hugo: You could wear a disguise, just this once. What Frollo doesn't know can't hurt ya.
Victor: Ignorance is bliss.
Hugo: [to the side] Look who's talkin'.

[after the pigeon fledgling leaves the nest, Hugo comes alive and spits out the nest in his mouth]
Hugo: Man! I thought he'd never leave. I'll be spitting feathers for a week.
Victor: Well, that's what you get for sleeping with your mouth open.
Hugo: Ha-ha-ha. Go scare a nun.
