THE SMALLEST OF THEM ALL

I knew it. Come....

THE PHANTOM

Where to?

THE SMALLEST OF THEM ALL

Over here.... I'm going to tell the others....

THE PHANTOM

Not yet.... I can't yet....

THE SMALLEST OF THEM ALL

(Still dragging her by her dress towards a marble bench which stands between the columns in the foreground.) Come.... (He makes her sit down, settles her on the bench, caresses her and kisses her.) Come ... it's you.... I knew it.... I'm kissing you.... Don't you know how to kiss yet? (THE PHANTOM shakes her head.) No?... Like this.... I'll teach you.... (He kisses and caresses her slowly and deliberately.) You're no longer cold?
