| Djali: Are you a nanny or a billy? Djali: Maaaa, maaaaa. Esmeralda: He say's he's a billy...at least I think he's a billy...(quickly peeks under tail)...yes, he is...I think... How did you meet Esmeralda? Djali: Maaaa, maaa, maaaa. Esmeralda: He says we met one day when my cousin and I were stealing apples from an orchard. The owner of the orchard caught us and started chasing us, but then I noticed that he had a little goat tied up. The poor thing looked like he had been abused. I untied the goat, and he helped me escape the owner of the orchard by butting him hard. Ever since that day, Djali and I have been inseperable. Esmeralda: Why would you wear a red dress at the Feast of Fools when gypsy women are only supposed to wear red at their wedding? Esmeralda: I don't know - Clopin gave me the dress. He said I looked ravishing in red, so I should wear it to the Feast of Fools. He didn't seem bothered that it was against our culture...perhaps someone didn't do enough research. Do you ever wish you had chosen Quasimodo over Phoebus? Esmeralda: No. Phoebus is my soul-mate. We were meant to be together. But, if something were to ever happen to Phoebus, I would certainly be interested in Quasi. Archdeacon: What contribution did you make to Quasimodo's upbringing? Archdeacon: Well, I saved his life as an infant and I allowed him to live in the tower, but after that I didn't see too much of him. Frollo kept the child hidden away. Phoebus: How did you train Achilles to heal? Phoebus: With plenty of time and goodies. You wouldn't believe how useful it was on the battlefield. Were you scared when Quasimodo lifted you off the ground so easily? Phoebus: I was more annoyed than scared, although it did pass through my mind that he could easily throw me down the steps... Challenged to a fight, who do you think would win, you or Quasimodo? Phoebus: Armed, me. Unarmed, Quasi. Achilles: How did you train Phoebus? Achilles: Neigh, neigh. Phoebus: He says he did not "train" me. I own him, not the other way around. Honestly, what makes you think of these things. (Achilles nudges him) Okay boy, here's an apple. (feeds Achilles an apple) Now as I was saying, he says he's a war horse and he needed to obey commands...(feeds Achilles another apple)...from me. How on earth did you get such a rediculous idea? Achilles: (rolls eyes) Victor, Hugo, Laverne: Who was bellringer before Quasimodo? Hugo: Me, of course! Victor: SHHH!! We can't tell people that!! Laverne: Besides, you couldn't do it by yourself and you needed our help, remember? What happened when he first saw you? Laverne: Oh, he was a darling little baby when we first saw him. I remember how he grabbed my finger with his little hands... Victor: And I remember how he screamed his head off at the sight of Hugo. Hugo: HEY!! Quasimodo: What is your shoe-size? Quasimodo: Shoe-size? My shoes are the same size as my feet. Some would say that since you have only one good eye that you lack depth perception and therefore have no fear of heights. What are your comments on this? Quasimodo: Well, I wouldn't know if I lack depth perception or not - I've only ever seen the world as I see it. I just know that I've never been scared of heights, perhaps because I was raised in a high place. Now that you have your freedom, what is your next big step? Quasimodo: To move out of the tower and into my own place. Put in your position, I would have wanted to streak the cloisters and pee on Frollo from the belltower just once, did you ever had these urges? Quasimodo: (laughs) Well, I might have had some evil thoughts, but I was always too scared of my master to do anything. Frollo: What made Esmeralda so attractive to you? Frollo: Her body stimulated the unholy aspect of my body...(growls). Have you ever thought about the origin of your love of fire? What are they? Frollo: I do NOT have any "love of fire." Fire is Satan's relm, which is why I use it to send the gypsies back where they belong! Clopin: What made you become a storyteller? Clopin: When I was young my father would teach me the stories that I now tell to the people. When did you become "King of Gypsies"? Is this an elected position and what does it entail? Clopin: I became king of the gypsies when I was but nineteen years of age, after my father passed on. It is not an elected position - it is passed on through the family that has the ability to rule. |
