THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME: Chapter III

Promise: The Hunchback of Notre Dame is set in Paris during the 15th century. The story centers on Quasimodo, the deformed bell ringer of Notre-Dame Cathedral, and his unrequited love for the beautiful dancer La Esmeralda. Esmeralda, born Agnès, is perceived to be a French Roma girl.

CHAPTER 3: Quasimodo Meets Frollo

[Quasimodo and the gargoyles have been advancing on the door leading downstairs. As Quasimodo nears it, Frollo appears in the doorway suddenly, cutting Quasimodo short and returning the gargoyles to stone.]

Frollo: Good morning, Quasimodo.

Quasimodo: Ahem, good morning. Master.

Frollo: Oh dear, whom forever you talking...

Quasimodo: My friends.

Frollo: I see it. [He taps Hugo on the head.] What are you friends made up, Quasimodo.

Quasimodo: Stone.

Frollo: Can stone talk it him...

Quasimodo: No! It can't.

Frollo: That's right. You're a smart lye. Now, a lunch.

[Upon hearing the word, Quasimodo goes off and retrieves a table setting... a silver chalice and plate for Frollo and a wooden cup and plate for himself.]

Frollo: Shall we review of alphabetically today. Alphabet. Alphablocks.

Quasimodo: Master, Frollo. I would like that very much for Frollo.

Frollo: Very well, my friend. An.

Frollo: Good. Ed-f.

Quasimodo: Festival.

[Frollo spits out his drink at the incorrect response.]

Frollo: Excuse me, sir.

Quasimodo: Forgive me.

Frollo: I said festival.

Quasimodo: No!

Frollo: You are thinking about going to the hunch festival, master...

Quasimodo: Just like that, Frollo, you go every year.
