You have to save her!
[QUASIMODO, spoken]
Save her? Me?
[CONGREGATION, spoken]
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, spoken]
You mean like saint…saint…what’s your name again?
[ST. APHRODISIUS, sung]
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 grisly martyring
I wouldn't change a thing
For I kept safe and free
The holy family
You have to save her!
