Quasimodo, the bell-ringer : I never realized till now how ugly I am, because you're so beautiful... I'm not a man! I'm not a beast! I'm about as shapeless as the man in the moon! I'm deaf, you know, but you can speak to me by signs.
Esmeralda : Why did you save me?
Quasimodo, the bell-ringer : You ask me why I saved you? Oh, I tried to carry you off, and the next day you gave me a drink of water and little pity.

Gringoire : Your hands are like ice. You're not afraid are you?
Esmeralda : Not now oh Gringoire, Why did I ever come to Paris?
Gringoire : Don't cry darling
Esmeralda : I keep thinking and thinking How I came here to soften the king heart towards my people until my silly heart betrayed me for that I deserve to die.
Gringoire : You will not! I will get you free
Esmeralda : You will look out after my people when I am gone

Frollo : What are you doing in Notre Dame?
Esmeralda : I'm praying.
Frollo : You can not pray here, you are a heathen.
Esmeralda : Who are you? You're not a priest. Yet you look like one.
Frollo : I am what I wish to be. Get up and leave this church. You desecrate the very stones on which you kneel.

Esmeralda : [to Follo] Your hand. There's the mark of the devil on it. Mother of God, don't let them hang me! Protect me! Protect me!
Frollo : Praying won't help you. You come from an evil race.
Esmeralda : You don't know anything about my people.
Frollo : Honest people don't live by witchcraft and magic.
Esmeralda : If we really had the power of magic, do you think we'd choose to be outcasts, to be poor and persecuted always? Surely we'd use it for our own benefit.
Frollo : All gypsies should be destroyed by fire and sword.
Esmeralda : You mustn't talk like that in here. The Mother of God is listening.
