STATUE:
You have to save her!
QUASIMODO:
Save her? Me?
STATUES:
Oh, what's the matter? Are you afraid?
Of course he's afraid, and he should be.
But that's what makes you a hero: doing what you're afraid of!
A hero...or a saint!
QUASIMODO:
You mean like Saint... Saint... Oh, what's your name again?
ST. APHRODISIUS:
Saint Aphrodisius
The Bishop of Beziers
I was beheaded by
A mob in Place Saint-Cyr
And though I made a choice
I did not know would bring
My grizzly martyring
I wouldn't change a thing
For I kept safe and free
The Holy Family
On their flight into Egypt
Land of the date and palm
I offered shelter
To her who is Notre Dame
If that's what I could do
Then, Quasimodo, you can too
QUASIMODO:
But even if I could go out there, how can I find her?
ST. APHRODISIUS:
The amulet she gave you!
STATUES:
But what is it? Just a web and a jewel.
It doesn't mean anything!
ST. APHRODISIUS:
No, it must be a clue
Made with guile and art
STATUES:
And she gave it to you
Because she knows your smart
Think, Quasimodo
Is it hopeless?
ST. APHRODISIUS:
Or can you see in it
Something you've seen before?
QUASIMODO:
"Seen before"?
Wait! I know this! Look!
This line, that's a bridge!
That's a street!
And this jewel!
It must show where
We're supposed to meet!
STATUES & ST. APHRODISIUS:
You've done it, Quasimodo!
This we're certain of!
QUASIMODO:
It's a map! It's a map! Look!
It's the city seen from above!
STATUES & ST. APHRODISIUS:
It's a map of the city from above!
QUASIMODO:
I'll do it!
I will go out there while it's dark,
I'll find Esmeralda, and bring her back!
Just like the angel
Who warned Joseph he must flee
I'll save Esmeralda!
Her angel will be me
I'll give her sanctuary
Somewhere safe to hide
Protected at my side
A little like...a bride
STATUES:
Like saints in stone and song...
QUASIMODO:
For her, I will be strong
QUASIMODO & STATUES & ST. APHRODISIUS:
And (y)our flight into Egypt
May last (y)our whole life long
Yes, that flight into Egypt
Will last...
QUASIMODO:
Our whole life long
