Quotes

"Morning in Paris, the city awakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
The fisherman fishes, the bakerman bakes
To the bells of Notre Dame
To the big bells as loud as the thunder
To the little bells soft as a psalm
And some say the soul of the city's
The toll of the bells
The bells of Notre Dame"

―Clopin narrating the story.

"Listen, they're beautiful, no? So many colors of sound, so many changing moods Because you know, they don't ring all by themselves"

―Clopin to the children

"Three cheers for Quasimodo!!"

―Clopin

"So here is a riddle to guess if you can
Sing the bells of Notre Dame
What makes a monster and what makes a man?
Whatever their pitch you
Can feel them bewitch you
The rich and the ritual knells…
Of the bells of Notre Dame!"

―Clopin

Dialogue

Esmeralda: "These men are not spies. They're our friends!"

Quasimodo and Phoebus: "We did say so!""

―Esmeralda, Clopin, Quasimodo and Phoebus

Clopin: "Listen, they're beautiful, no? So many colors of sounds, so many changing moods. Because, you know, they don't ring all by themselves."
Puppet: "They don't?!?"
Clopin: "No, silly boy. Up there, high, high in the dark bell tower, lives the mysterious bell ringer. Who is this creature?"
Puppet: "Who?"
Clopin: "What is he?"
Puppet: "What?"
Clopin: "How did he come to be there?"
Puppet: "How?"
Clopin: "Hush!"
Puppet: "Ohhh..."
Clopin: "And Clopin will tell you. It is a tale, a tale of a man and a monster!"
