Mozart I'm so ashamed. Salieri Of what? Mozart I was foolish. I thought you did not care for my work or me. [softly] Forgive me. [Salieri appears visibly shaken] Forgive me... Salieri I will speak for you, Father. I speak for all mediocrities in the world. I am their champion. I am their patron saint. Salieri So rose the dreadful ghost from his next and blackest opera. There, on the stage, stood the figure of a dead commander. And I knew, only I understood that the horrifying apparition was Leopold raised from the dead!
