Madame Giry : My daughter, Meg Giry.
Firmin : [looking at Christine] And THAT exceptional beauty? No relation, I trust?
Madame Giry : Christine Daaé. Promising talent, Monsieur Firmin, very promising.
Andre : Daaé, did you say? N-n-no relation to the famous Swedish violinist?

Madame Giry : He welcomes you to his opera house...
Firmin : His opera house?
Madame Giry : ...and commands that you continue to leave box 5 empty for his use. And reminds you that his salary is due.
Firmin : His salary?
Madame Giry : Well, Monsieur Lefevre used to give him 20,000 francs a month.
Firmin : [grabs note from Andre] 20,000 francs?
Madame Giry : Perhaps you can afford more? With the Vicomte as your patron?
Firmin : Madame, I had hoped to make that announcement public tonight when the Vicomte was to join us for the gala. But obviously we shall now have to cancel, as it appears we have lost our star. A full house, Andre. We shall have to refund a full house!
Madame Giry : Christine Daae could sing it, sir.
Andre : A chorus girl? Don't be silly.

Andre : Don't be shy. Come on. Come along... just... just...

Firmin : Andre, this is doing nothing for my nerves.
Andre : Oh, but she's very pretty.

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.
