Weil du liebst (Out of Love) occurs after Frollo makes his threat against Esmeralda and the Court of Miracles while Phoebus is trying to convince Quasimodo to leave Notre Dame and help warn her. Unlike the Disney movie, Phoebus is softer and more understanding with Quasimodo's hesitation. Phoebus understands why Quasimodo does not want to leave and he tells him it because of the love that he must do it. It also interesting to meant that Phoebus has not solidify a romance with Esmeralda yet. Unlike the Disney movie it's the Archdeacon who asks Quasimodo to hide Phoebus.

PHOEBUS:
Look, I don't pretend
To be your dearest friend
And I don't like asking anyone for a favor
But Esmeralda's in a trap
And only you can read her map
Don't you think you owe it to her, to save her?
Scared or not
We have got
To try and save her
Life is full of spikes and thorns
Full of things that wound and chafe
So we start the second we're born
Learning how to play it safe
Then one day comes a choice that's clear
Comes a choice you're frightened of
And you pass it by out of fear
Or you do it out of love
GARGOYLES:
Or you do it out of love
PHOEBUS:
I don't say that someone like you
Doesn't have good cause to hide
CHARLES:
Good cause to hide
PHOEBUS:
So much pain so plainly in view
Plainly so much more inside
LONI:
Much more inside
PHOEBUS:
Huddled by this waterspout
ANTOINE:
Waterspout?!
PHOEBUS:
Watching life from far above
PHOEBUS / CHARLES:
Why should you risk venturing out?
PHOEBUS:
You go out there out of love
GARGOYLES:
You go out there out of love
QUASIMODO:
This way...
PHOEBUS:
You like Esmeralda, don't you? After all, she's very beautiful.
QUASIMODO:
Kind.
PHOEBUS:
She's kind. And brave.
QUASIMODO:
Smart.
PHOEBUS:
And smart.
QUASIMODO:
Loyal.
PHOEBUS:
And beautiful.
QUASIMODO:
... Beautiful.
PHOEBUS:
I like her too. And I believe she likes me.
QUASIMODO:
You're handsome.
PHOEBUS:
And kind, and brave?
QUASIMODO:
Handsome.
PHOEBUS:
Esmeralda, now you'll see
QUASIMODO:
Esmeralda...
PHOEBUS:
How devoted I can seem
QUASIMODO:
The chance is slim
PHOEBUS:
To save you I'm willing to be
QUASIMODO:
But to save you
PHOEBUS:
Part of this peculiar team
QUASIMODO:
I'm helping him
PHOEBUS:
Will we fail? It's nip-and-tuck
But when push has come to shove
QUASIMODO:
But all I'm certain of
PHOEBUS:
I believe you're out of luck
Only when you're out of love
QUASIMODO:
I must do it out of love
PHOEBUS:
What I do is...
PHOEBUS / QUASIMODO:
Out of love
