Mrs. Whatsit: No, Mrs. Whatsit. Mrs. Who is... She's like a billion years older, and way more knowledgeable.
Dr. Kate Murry: [suspiciously] What can I do for you, Mrs... "Whatsit"?
Charles Wallace: I caught her stealing sheets. Guys, she's harmless.
Meg: You're seventeen. Come on. What do you know about harmless?
Charles Wallace: Have I ever been wrong?
Meg: One of these days, you might be, Charles Wallace.
Mrs. Whatsit: Oh, I highly doubt that. He's one of the greatest minds in recent history. He's prodigious. But of course, we can't take any credit for our talents. It's how we use them that counts.

Belle: [to Lumière; looking at the rose] What happens when the last petal falls?

Mrs. Potts: [sadly] Antiques.
Lumière: Knick-knacks.
Plumette: Lightly-used housewares.
Cogsworth: Rubbish. We become rubbish.
Belle: I want to help you. There must be some way to break the curse.
Cogsworth: [Lumière cuts him off] Well, there is one...
Mrs. Potts: It's not for you to worry about, lamb. We made our bed and now we must lie in it.

Beast: [to Belle, gruffly] You'll join me for dinner. That's not a request.
Mrs. Potts: Gently, Master. The girl lost her father and her freedom in one day.
Lumière: Yes, the poor thing is probably in there scared to death.
Belle: Just a minute.
Lumière: You see? There she is. Now remember: Be gentle.
Mrs. Potts: Kind.
Plumette: Mmm, charming.
Cogsworth: Sweet!
Lumière: And when she opens the door, give her a dashing, debonaire smile! Come, come, show me the smile!
Cogsworth: Oh, dear!
Plumette: Oh, no!
Beast: [his smile vanishes; graciously] Will you join me for dinner?
Belle: [scoffs] You've taken me as your prisoner, and now you want to have dinner with me? Are you insane?
Plumette: Uh-oh! He's losing it!
Cogsworth: Oh, dear!
Beast: [pounds on Belle's door repeatedly, angrily yelling] I told you to join me for dinner!
Belle: [angrily] And I told you no!
Madame Garderobe: [awakens startled] Oh, what time is it? What's happening?
Belle: I'd starve before I ever eat with you!
Beast: [roaring ferociously; to Lumiere angrily; storms off] Well, be my guest! Go ahead and starve! If she doesn't eat with me, then she doesn't eat at all! Idiots!
