THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME

Hugo:          I think the cavalry's here!

Quasimodo:     (Sees Phoebus) Hey!  Isn't that--

Hugo:          Feeble!

Laverne:       Doofus!

Quasimodo:     Phoebus!

(The crowds continue to fight.  Quasi continues to drop things on the
advancing troops.  Victor drops a brick, landing square on a guard's
head.)

Victor:        Sorry!  Sorry!

(Hugo throws a rock in his mouth, then chomps it up, flies around like a
bomber, ending up on the ledge.  He begins spitting out pebbles like a
machine gun.  Meanwhile, Frollo is supervising the guards at the door.)

Guard:         Harder!

(As the fighting continues, a guard breaks the lock off the stockade. 
The old prisoner is once again free.)

Old Prisoner:  I'm free!  I'm free!

(He steps into a hole labeled "Mon Sewer".)

Old Prisoner:  Dang it!

(A grappling hook reaches Quasimodo.  He grabs it, then pulls the rope
tight.  Three guards smash into the building.  Meanwhile, Victor and
Hugo are building a catapult.  They finally are finished and ready to
fire.)

Victor:        Ready...aim...fire!

(They push the catapult off the ledge, sending it crashing to the
ground.  Soldiers scatter as it hits.)

Victor:        Are you sure that's how it works?

(The catapult, upside down, springs, sending the cart bottom on top of
some soldiers.)

Hugo:          Works for me!

(More fighting.  Once again, Guard 1 is defeated by Phoebus, and he ends
up behind Achilles.)

Phoebus:       Achilles!  Sit!

(And the horse obeys.  Cut to Laverne, sending the birds to attack, ala
"The Wizard of Oz.")

Laverne:       Fly, my pretties!  Fly!  Fly!

(The guards continue to work on the door.)

Guard:         Put your backs into it!

(Meanwhile, Victor is using Hugo as a bellows to warm up the fire on the
lead pot.  Quasi attaches a rope to it, then dumps it over, sending fire
pouring out of the tower and onto the scattering guards below.  The
guards battering the door run, but Frollo manages to get inside the
cathedral safely.  As he does, the archdeacon runs up to him.)

Archdeacon:    Frollo, have you gone mad?  I will not tolerate this
               assault on the house of God!

(He shoves the archdeacon to the ground.)

Frollo:        Silence, you old fool!  The hunchback and I have
               unfinished business to attend to.  And this time, you
               will not interfere.

(He closes the door and locks it from the inside.  Upstairs, Quasi
bursts into the bedroom jubilantly.)

Quasimodo:     We've done it, Esmeralda!  We've beaten them back! 
               Come and see!

(She doesn't move.)

Quasimodo:     Esmeralda?  Wake up!  You're safe now.

(He pauses, but still nothing.)

Quasimodo:     Esmeralda?  Oh, no!

(He gets a spoonful of water, and tries to make her drink it.  She
doesn't.)

Quasimodo:     Oh no.

(He begins to cry. Frollo enters and touches Quasi on his hump.)

Quasimodo:     You killed her.

Frollo:        It was my duty, horrible as it was.  I hope you can
               forgive me.  There, there, Quasimodo, I know it hurts. 
               But now, the time has come to end your suffering...
               forever!

(We see that Frollo has a dagger.  As Frollo raises it to stab him,
Quasi sees the shadow of the dagger.  He turns and struggles with Frollo
only briefly, before wresting the dagger from Frollo's hands and backing
him into a corner.)

Frollo:        Now, now, listen to me, Quasimodo.

Quasimodo:     No, you listen!  All my life you have told me the world
               is a dark, cruel place.  But now, I see that the only
               thing dark and cruel about it is people like you!

(He throws away the dagger.)

Esmeralda:     Quasimodo?

(He turns and sees Esmeralda sitting on the bed.)
