Then it's all beauty. And life here is like a resurrection.

    • [Christine has left Raoul and Anatole in her dressing room while she greets a crowd of admirers]

      Raoul D'Aubert: Would you join me for a bit of supper at the Cafe de l'Opera?

      Anatole Garron: With pleasure, monsieur.

      Raoul D'Aubert: Think we can get through this crowd?

      Anatole Garron: Certainly. After all, who'd pay any attention to a baritone and a detective?
