We'll have to find the Court of Miracles before daybreak. If Frollo gets there first......

Phoebus: [Upon realizing that Frollo knows where Esmeralda is hiding and that he will attack, Quasimodo feels as though he should help. Phoebus groans from under the table from which he was hidden from Frollo. Once Frollo leaves, he gets out] We'll have to find the Court of Miracles before daybreak. If Frollo gets there first... [Starts walking, but Quasimodo does not follow; he just looks at Phoebus with the saddened realization that Esmeralda loves Phoebus, not him. Phoebus turns to him] Phoebus: Are you coming with me? Quasimodo: [Looks down, still saddened] I can't. Phoebus: [as Quasi gets up] I thought you were Esmeralda's friend. Quasimodo: Frollo's my master; I *can't* disobey him again. [He turns away and grabs his shoulders] Phoebus: She stood up for you. You've got a funny way of showing gratitude. [Quasimodo doesn't respond. Phoebus stares disapprovingly at him as he grab his own shoulder] Phoebus: Well, I'm not going to sit by and watch Frollo *massacre* innocent people. [Walks off] Phoebus: You do what you think is right. Quasimodo: [He remains silent and then turns to his side. The gargoyles, Hugo, Victor, and Laverne, look at him with disappointment evident in their faces; he speaks softly to them at first, then snaps] What? What am I supposed to do? [Frustrated and sarcastic tone, in an arm-flailing manner] Quasimodo: Go out there and rescue the *girl* from the - from the jaws of death, then the *whole town'll* cheer like I'm some kind of a *hero*? She already has her knight-in-shining-armor, and it's *not* me! [sighs] Quasimodo: Frollo was right. Frollo was right about everything... [Looks down; softly] Quasimodo: and I'm *tired* of trying to be something that I'm not. [Upon looking down, he catches a glimpse of his hand; he recalls what Esmeralda told him of having "no monster lines." He looks onto the floor and sees the scorched wooden sculpture of Esmeralda that he made which Frollo torched earlier. Finally, he pulls out the amulet she gave him earlier that could lead him to her. He then looks up with hope and realizes how important she was to him and how he is the only one who may know where she is; he just might be able to warn her of Frollo's attack. Laverne taps his shoulder twice and offers his hooded navy cloak] Quasimodo: [whispering as he hesitantly grabs his cloak and hurries away to catch up with Phoebus] I must be out of my mind.
