Belle's Desire for Adventure and Understanding
Belle
...Is he gone? Can you imagine? He asked me to marry him. Me, the wife of that boorish, brainless? Madame Gaston, can't you just see it? / Madame Gaston, his little wife. / No, sir, not me, I guarantee it / I want much more than this provincial life. / I want adventure in the great wide somewhere / I want it more than I can tell / And for once it might be grand / To have someone understand / I want so much more than they've got planned
[to the chickens; seeing he is, hurried outside, a bucket of chickens feed in her hand; walks of the animals, and feeding the chickens, singing; kicks the buckets, the chickens clucking and goats bleats; Phillipe runs into the open field. Belle looks at him, disturbed that Maurice is not with him.]
Belle
Phillipe! What are you doing here? Where's Papa? Where is he, Phillipe? What happened? Oh, we have to find him, you have to take me to him!
[Belle unhitches the wagon from Phillipe.]

A Playful Exchange of Affirmation and Denial
Featherduster
Oh, no!
Lumière
Oh, yes!
Featherduster
Oh, no!
Lumière
Oh, yes, yes, yes!
Featherduster
I've been burnt by you before!
Featherduster
Oof!
Lumière
Zut alors! She has emerged!
Mrs. Potts
Come on, Chip. Into the cupboard with your brothers and sisters.
[helping him in]
Chip
But I'm not sleepy.
Mrs. Potts
Yes you are.
Chip
No, I'm not.
[He falls asleep and Mrs. Potts shuts the cupboard door.]
Stove
I work and I slave all day long, and for what? A culinary masterpiece gone to waste.
Mrs. Potts
Oh, stop your grousing. It's been a long night for all of us.
Cogsworth
Well, if you ask me, she was just being stubborn. After all, the master did say please.
Mrs. Potts
But if the master doesn't learn to control that temper, he'll never break the--
Cogsworth
Splendid to see you out and about, mademoiselle.
[interrupting]
Cogsworth
I am Cogsworth, head of the household.
Cogsworth
This is Lumière.
Lumière
En chante, cherie.
Cogsworth
If there's anything...stop that...that we can...please ...to make your stay more comfortable. Ow!!!!
[trying to talk around Lumière who is still kissing Belle's hand; finally shoving him out of the way; Lumière burns the hand of Cogsworth]
Belle
I am a little hungry.
Mrs. Potts
You are? Hear that? She's hungry. Stoke the fire, break out the silver, wake the China.
[excited, to the other tea pots]
Cogsworth
Remember what the master said.
[secretively]
Mrs. Potts
Oh, pish tosh. I'm not going to let the poor child go hungry.
Cogsworth
Oh, all right, fine. Glass of water, crust of bread, and then--
[thinking he is giving in to the ultimate demand]
Lumière
Cogsworth, I am surprised at you. She's not our prisoner. She's our guest. We must make her feel welcome here. Right this way, mademoiselle.
[to Belle]
Cogsworth
Well keep it down. If the master finds out about this, it will be our necks!
Lumière
Of course, of course. But what is dinner without a little music?
Cogsworth
MUSIC?!
Lumière
Ma chere, mademoiselle. It is with deepest pride pleasure and greatest pride that I welcome you tonight. And now, we invite you to relax. Let us pull up a chair as the dining room proudly presents...your dinner. Be our guest, be our guest / Put our service to the test, tie your napkin round your neck, cherie and we provide the rest! Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres / Why we only live to serve / Try the grey stuff, it's delicious / Don't believe me? Ask the dishes! They can sing, they can dance / After all, miss, this is France! / And a dinner here is never second best! / Go on unfold your menu, take a glance and then you'll / Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest! Beef ragout, cheese souffle, Pie and pudding en flambe! / We'll prepare and serve with flair / A culinary cabaret! You're alone and you're scared, But the banquet's all prepared! / No one's gloomy or complaining, / While the flatware's entertaining! We tell jokes, I do tricks / With my fellow candlesticks
[singing; The CHAIR has wrapped a napkin around the neck of Belle, who takes it off and places it on her lap. The CHAIR's arms put it's hands on it's 'waist' as if it were mad.; Lumière offers Belle a plate of hors d'oeuvres. She dips her finger in one, and tastes it.; A cabinet at the end of the table opens to reveal a large China collection, which rolls out and begins to perform. Lumière hands Belle a menu, which she begins to read.; plates of food go dancing by, with Cogsworth in the pudding. Lumière sets his torch to it, and it explodes, turning Cogsworth's face black with soot.; The FLATWARE enters a 'Busby Berkley-esque' swimming scene.; Lumière, standing on a plate, is elevated and begins to juggle his candles. Mugs enter the shot.]
Mugs
And it's all in perfect taste / That you can bet!!!
[The Mugs begin a gymnastics routine, hopping over one another and passing a beverage from one to the next]
All
Come on and lift your glass, You've won your own free pass / To be our guest, be our guest, be our guest!
Lumière
If you're stressed, it's fine dining we suggest!
All
Be our guest, be our guest, be our guest!
Lumière
Life is so unnerving, For a servant who's not serving! / He's not whole without a soul to wait upon
Cogsworth
Get off!
Lumière
Ah, those good old days when we were useful / Suddenly, those good old days are gone.
[Lumière sings as if he were reminiscing. Snow begins to fall. Cogsworth looks up and sees the salt and pepper shakers doing their thing.]
Cogsworth
Ohh.
Lumière
10 years we've been rusting / Needing so much more than dusting / Needing exercise, a chance to use our skills!
Cogsworth
Yaaaaaooo…
Lumière
Most days just lay around the castle, Flabby fat and lazy / You walked in, and oops-a-daisie!
[Lumière jumps on a spoon in the gelatin, which catapults Cogsworth out of the mold. Cut to kitchen, where Mrs. Potts is surrounded by soap bubbles.]
Mrs. Potts
It's a guest, it's a guest! Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed! Wine's been poured and thank the Lord I've had the napkins freshly pressed! With dessert, she'll want tea, And my dear, that's fine with me! While the cups do their soft shoeing, I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing! I'll get warm, piping hot Heaven's sake, is that a spot? Clean it up, we want the company impressed! We've got a lot to do-- Is it one lump or two? For you our guest!
[Mrs. Potts continues to dance around the kitchen; Mrs. Potts is cleaned off by a napkin. She hops onto the tea cart and rolls into the dining room, where she offers tea to Belle.]
All
She's our guest!
Mrs. Potts
She's our guest!
All
She's our guest!
Cogsworth
Let's go, people. Fun's over. Over here. Line up. Aaaaaaah!
All
It's ten years since we had anybody here And we're obsessed! With your meal, with your ease, Yes indeed, we aim to please / While the candlelight's still glowin / Let us help you, we'll keep going--
[The China and candlesticks perform an elaborately choreographed dance sequence, ending in a closeup of Lumière.]
Lumiere
Come on! Sing with us!
[to viewers]
Lumière and All
Course, by course / One by one / Til you shout "Enough, I'm done!" / Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest . Tonight you'll prop your feet up, But for let's eat up Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest! Please Be our guest!!
[A fantastic ending comes of the song, with SILVERWARE flying through the air, plates and Featherdusters dancing, and Cogsworth the focus of attention, until Lumière comes sliding in and sends him flying out of camera range.]
Belle
Bravo! That was wonderful!
Cogsworth
Thank you, thank you, mademoiselle. Yes, good show, wasn't it everyone. Oh, my goodness, will you look at the time. Now, it's off to bed, off to bed!
[Looking at his own face; Lumière comes up next to Cogsworth.]
Belle
Oh, I couldn't possibly go to bed now. It's my first time in an enchanted castle.
Cogsworth
Enchanted? Who said anything about the castle being enchanted?
[He tries to cover it up, just as a fork runs past. To Lumière]
Cogsworth
It was you, wasn't it!
Belle
I, um, figured it out for myself.
[Cogsworth and Lumière have been fighting. They both look at her, then stop. Cogsworth dusts himself off, and Lumière fixes his wax nose.]
Belle
I'd like to look around, if that's all right.
Lumière
Oh! Would you like a tour?
[excited]
Cogsworth
Wait a second, wait a second. I'm not sure that's such a good idea. We can't let her go poking around in certain places, if you know what I mean.
[Confidentially, to Lumière]
Belle
Perhaps you could take me. I'm sure you know everything there is to know about the castle.
[Poking Cogsworth in the belly (like the Pillsbury doughboy)]
Cogsworth
Well, actually, ah yes, I do!
[flattered]
Cogsworth
As you can see, the pseudo façade was stripped away to reveal a minimalist rococo design. Note the unusual inverted vaulted ceilings. This is yet another example of the neo-classic baroque period, and as I always say, if it's not baroque, don't fix it! Ha ha ha. Now then, where was I?
[He turns to find the heads of the suits of armor have turned to follow Belle.]
Cogsworth
As you were! Now, if I may draw your attention to the flying buttresses above the--mademoiselle?
[They all snap back to face forward.; Cogsworth turns back to the group and is one girl short. He sees her beginning to climb the grand staircase. He and Lumière run up to her and jump in front of her, blocking her progress upstairs.]
Belle
What's up there?
Cogsworth
Where? Up there? Nothing. Absolutely nothing of interest at all in the West Wing. Dusty, dull, very boring.
[Lumière has been shaking his head, but Cogsworth nudges him and he nods in agreement.]
Belle
Oh, so that's the West Wing.
Lumière
Nice going!
[To Cogsworth]
Belle
I wonder what he's hiding up there.
Lumière
Hiding? The master is hiding nothing!
Belle
Then it wouldn't be forbidden.
[She steps over them, but they dash up and block her again.]
Cogsworth
Perhaps mademoiselle would like to see something else. We have exquisite tapestries dating all the way back to...
Belle
Maybe later.
[again stepping over them]
Lumière
The gardens, or the library perhaps?
[with Cogsworth, again dashing and blocking]
Belle
You have a library?
[Now, with incredible interest]
Cogsworth
Oh. yes! Indeed!
[Thrilled that he has found something to interest her]
Lumière
With books!
Cogsworth
Gads of books!
Lumière
Mountains of books!
Cogsworth
Forests of books!
Lumière
Cascades...
Cogsworth
...of books!
Lumière
Swamps of books!
Cogsworth
More books than you'll ever be able to read in a lifetime! Books on every subject ever studied, by every author who ever set pen to paper...
Beast
Why did you come here?
[growing angrily-ish]
Belle
I'm-I'm sorry.
[backs away, scared]
Beast
I warned you never to come here!
Belle
I didn't mean any harm.
Beast
Do you realize what you could have done?!
[angrier; Beast begins to thrash at the furniture]
Belle
Please, stop!
[pleaders, but still scared]
Beast
GET OUT!!!!
[screaming]
Belle
No!
Beast
GET, OOOOOOUUUTT!!!!
[screaming; Belle turns and flees the room. Beast calms down, then falls into despair, finally realizes that he may have destroyed his chances with Belle. She reaches the stairway and grabs her cloak. She rushes down the stairs, wrapping the cloak around her and bursting past a confused Lumière and Cogsworth]
Lumière
Where are you going?
Belle
Promise or no promise, I can't stay here another minute!
Cogsworth
Oh, no, wait, please! Please wait! ]). Philippe runs out on a frozen pond, but his and Belle's weight collapse the ice. The wolves chase her into the water. Some begin to drown, but Philippe is able to get out of the water before anything serious happens. He runs into a clears, but becomes surrounded by wolves. He bucks, throws Belle off and wrapped the reins around a tree branch. The wolves begin their attack on Philippe, but Belle comes to his rescue and beats them away with a stick. One wolf grabs the stick in its mouth and breaks half of it off, leaves Belle defenseless. Another leaps at her, grabs the corner of her cloak and dragging her to the ground]
[Lumière tries to respond, but Belle slams the door behind her. He and Cogsworth both bow their heads in sadness. When Belle outside in the forest on Philippe. She begins to ride through the forest, but Philippe comes to a stop. She looks up and sees the wolves. She gasps, then pulls the reins and begins to flee. She runs from side to side, making the wolves hit the trees (a la Speederbike chase in '''[[Return of the Jedi]
Belle
No! Here, now. Oh, don't do that. Just hold still.
[She looks up and sees a wolf about to jump on top of her. It leaps and is caught in mid-air by Beast. He throws the wolf away, then stands behind them and Belle. They lunge at each other. One rips a hole in Beast's shoulder, and the others focus their attack on that spot. Finally, Beast throws a wolf against a tree, knocks it out. The others turn and run in fear. Beast turns back to Belle, looks at her despairingly, then collapses. Belle, grateful to be alive, turns back to Philippe and begins to get on, but her conscience takes over, and she walks over to the fallen Beast. Fade to Belle and Philippe walking back to the castle, with Beast on the horse's back. Fade to inside the den, with Belle pouring hot water out of Mrs. Potts. She soaks a rag in the water, then turns to Beast, who is licking his wounds, dampening rag; sees the Beast licking the wound on his arm; the Beast backs away with a growl as the servants start to back away in fear; places the rag on the Beast's wound; the Beast mighty roars in pain and the servants takes cover]
Beast
THAT HURTS!!!
Belle
If you'd hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much!
Beast
Well, if you hadn't have run away, this wouldn't have happened.
Belle
If you hadn't frightened me, I wouldn't have run away.
Beast
Well, you shouldn't have been in The West Wing!
Belle
Well, you should learn to control your temper. Now, hold still. This might sting a little.
Beast
Hmm?
Belle
By the way, thank you, for saving my life.
Beast
You're welcome.
Monsieur D'Arque
I don't usually leave the asylum in the middle of the night, but they said you'd make it worth my while. Aah, I'm listening.
[Gaston pulls out a sack of gold and tosses it in front of him. He takes out a piece, scrapes it on his chin and continues]
Gaston
It's like this. I've got my heart set on marrying Belle, but she needs a little persuasion.
LeFou
Turned him down flat!
[butting in]
Gaston
Everyone knows her father's a lunatic. He was in here tonight raving about a beast in a castle...
Monsieur D'Arque
Maurice is harmless.
Gaston
The point is, Belle would do anything to keep him from being locked up.
LeFou
Yeah, even marry him!
Monsieur D'Arque
So you want me to throw her father in the asylum unless she agrees to marry you? Oh, that is despicable. I love it!
[They both nod in agreement]
Maurice
If no one will help me, then I'll go back alone. I don't care what it takes. I'll find that castle and somehow I'll get her out of there.
Gaston
Belle? Maurice?
LeFou
Oh, well. I guess it's not go to work, after all.
Gaston
They have to come back sometime. And when they do, we'll be ready for them. LeFou, don't move from that spot, until Belle and her father come home.
[grabs LeFou by his collar and carries him out; throws him into the pile of snow nearby; leaves on a horse wagon]
LeFou
But... But I... Ah, nuts!

Confrontation in the Enchanted Castle
Gaston
Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Get up! Get up! What's the matter, Beast? Too kind and gentle to fight back?
[Gaston corners Beast on the edge of the roof. Beast simply sits there in despair.; Beast looks down ignoring him. Gaston walks into the foreground and breaks off a piece of the roof. He is about to smash it on Beast's head when Belle's voice drifts up. She is on the bridge and is yelling to Gaston, telling him to stop.]
Belle
No!
Beast
Belle.
Belle
No, Gaston, don't! Let's go, Philippe.
Gaston
COME ON, OUT AND FIGHT?! We're you in love with her, Beast? DID YOU HONESTLY THINK SHE'D WANT YOU WHEN SHE HAD SOMEONE LIKE ME?! It's over, Beast! BELLE IS MINE!! Let me go, let me go! Please... don't hurt me! I'll do anything! ANYTHING!!!!
[to Beast; The Beast has been provoked enough. He emerges and they fight again; The Beast and Gaston are fighting on top of the castle; the Beast strikes at him, grabs him and holds him over the edge and last words; The Beast glares with fury, then his anger slowly melts as he realizes that Gaston's what he could’ve become. He pulls Gaston back in and close to his face]
Beast
Get out.
[in a calm, but tranquil fury manner; shoves Gaston to the ground]
Belle
Beast!
[comes out on the balcony]
Beast
Belle. Belle? You came back.
[begins to climb the tower until he reaches the balcony. He hangs over the side; they reached their hands as they reunite; The Beast and Belle stare passionately at each other, but the moment is interrupted when Gaston sneaks up and stubs the Beast in the back with a knife. The Beast roars in pain and Gaston pulls the knife out and swings back for another shot. The Beast starts to fall, knocks over Gaston off his balances. Belle reaches forward and pulls the Beast back, while Gaston falls off into the castle moats to his deaths with a scream.]
Gaston
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!
Beast
You... You came back.
Belle
Of course, I came back. I couldn't let them.... Oh, this is all my fault. If only I'd gotten here sooner.
[hugs the Beast]
Beast
Maybe it's better...it's better this way.
Belle
Don't talk like that. You'll be all right. We're together now. Everything's going to be fine. You'll see.
Beast
At least...I got to see you...1 last time.
[lastly words; reaches up and touches Belle's cheek; his paw falls and his eyes close as he dies]
Belle
No. No. Please. Please. Please don't leave me. I love you.
[gasps; sobs; The last petal falls away, leaving Cogsworth, Lumière, and Mrs. Potts distraught; suddenly, a magical shower falls around the Beast and Belle, and the Beast rises into the air, turning into a human prince Adam, whose name was Prince Adam; then, he lands on the ground and when he gets up, he turns toward Belle]
Prince Adam
Belle... it's me.
Belle
It is you!
[looks into his eyes and recognizes him from the portrait; They kiss, a fireworks display explodes around them. The gloom surrounding, the castle disappears, revealing a blue sky. Last lines; The castle is transformed, with the gargoyles changing into cherubs. Finally, we return to the balcony, where the servants hop out to meet Prince Adam and Belle. One by one, they are transformed back to their original human conditions]
Prince Adam
Lumiere! Cogsworth! Oh, Mrs. Potts! Look at us!
[Chip comes riding in on Footstool]
Chip
Mama! Mama!
[The pair transforms back into a boy and dog]
Mrs. Potts
Oh, my goodness!
[Picking up her boy]
Lumière
It is a miracle!
Belle
How wonderful!
[Prince Adam picks up Belle and swings her around. The ruffles of her skirt wipe to the ballroom, where all are gathered to celebrate, Prince Adam and Belle dance around the room as the rest at the characters]
Lumière
Ah, l'amour.
[Lumière says this, and a maid, obviously the former Featherduster walks by, brushing him on the chin; chuckles, starts to chase after her, but Cogsworth stops him]
Cogsworth
Well, Lumiere, old friend. Shall we let bygones be bygones?
Lumière
Of course, mon ami. I told you she would break the spell.
Cogsworth
I beg your pardon, old friend, but I believe I told you.
Lumière
No, you didn't. I told you.
Cogsworth
You most certainly did not, you pompous parrafin-headed pea-brain!
Lumière
En garde, you overgrown pocket watch!
[Lumière takes off his glove and slaps Cogsworth across the face with it. They begin to fight. Cut to Belle and Prince Adam who continue to dance around the floor. The camera stops on Mrs. Potts, Chip and Maurice, who is beginning to crying]
Chip
Are they going to live happily ever after, Mama?
Mrs. Potts
Of course, my dear. Of course.
Chip
Do I still have to sleep in the cupboard?
[tiny pauses; Maurice laughs and Mrs. Potts hugs her child and laughs. Cut to a camera looking over the entire ballroom with all in the shot. It slowly zooms out with Belle and Prince Adam dancing around the room, and fades into the final stained glass window, this one with Belle and Prince Adam in the center, surrounded by the rest of the characters]
Chorus
Certain as the sun / Rising in the east / Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme / Beauty and the beast!| Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme / Beauty and the beast!

A Special Gesture for Belle
Beast
I've never felt this way about anyone. I want to do something for her. But what?
[Looks excited; Looks discouraged.]
Cogsworth
Well, there's the usual things--flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep...
Lumière
Ahh, no no. It has to be something very special. Something that sparks her inter--wait a minute.
Beast
Belle, there's something I want to show you. But first, you have to close your eyes.
[Begins to open the door, then stops.]
Belle
Can I open them?
[Just as she enters the room]
Beast
No, no. Not yet. Wait here.
[Beast walks away to draw back the curtains. He does, and brilliant sunlight spills into the room. Belle flinches reflexively as the light hits her face.]
Belle
Now can I open them?
Beast
All right. Now.
[Belle opens her eyes and the camera pulls back to reveal the gigantic library filled with books.]
Belle
I can't believe it. I've never seen so many books in all my life!
Beast
You--you like it?
Belle
It's wonderful.
Beast
Then it's yours.
Belle
Oh, thank you so much.
Mrs. Potts
Oh, would you look at that?
Lumière
Ha ha! I knew it would work.
Chip
What? What works?
Cogsworth
It's very encouraging.
Featherduster
Isn't this exciting!
Chip
I didn't see anything.
Mrs. Potts
Come along, Chip. There's chores to be done in the kitchen.
Chip
But what are they talking about? What's going on?
[Objects walk away. Fade to breakfast table with Belle at one end and Beast at the other, with Mrs. Potts between them. Belle is served breakfast, and as she begins to eat, she looks at Beast, gobbling up his food with no table manners whatsoever. Chip laughs, but Mrs. Potts shoots him an admonishing look. Belle turns away and tries to ignore it, but Chip comes to the rescue. He nudges the spoon with his nose, and Beast reaches out for it (very 3-D-ishly). Belle looks at him in wonder as he tries to eat with the spoon, but he has little success. Finally, Belle puts down her spoon and lifts her bowl as if in a toast. Beast looks at the compromise and does the same. They both begin to sip their breakfast out of their bowls. Fade to courtyard where Belle and Beast are feeding the birds.]
Belle
There's something sweet / And almost kind / But he was mean / And he was coarse and unrefined. But now he's dear / And so unsure, / I wonder why I didn't see it there before.
[Belle is trying to attract some birds to Beast, who shoves a handful of seed at them. Finally, she takes a handful and gently spreads it out, creating a trail. One lands in his hands, and he looks up thrilled.]
Beast
She glanced this way / I thought I saw / And when we touched / She didn't shudder at my paw / No, it can't be / I'll just ignore / But then she's never looked at me that way before.
[Belle has ducked around a tree, leaving Beast with the birds. She begins to look doubtful again, but turns her head around the tree and laughs. Beast is covered with birds.]
Belle
New, and a bit alarming / Who'd have ever thought that this could be? / True, that he's no Prince Charming / But there's something in him that I simply didn't see.
[Belle throws a snowball at Beast, who had looked at her proudly after the birds flew away. He begins to gather a large pile of snow. We cut to the Objects, looking out of a window at the two. In the background, Belle throws another snowball at Beast, who drops his huge pile of snow on his head. He chases her around a tree, but she ducks around the other side and sneaks up on him from behind.]
Lumière
Well who'd have thought?
Mrs. Potts
Well bless my soul.
Cogsworth
And who'd have known?
Mrs. Potts
Well, who indeed?
Lumière
And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?
Mrs. Potts
It's so peculiar
All
We'll wait and see / A few days more / There may be something there that wasn't there before
[Fade to den where Belle sits in front of a roaring fire and reads to Beast. Objects including Chip watch from doorway]
Cogsworth
Yes, perhaps there's something there that wasn't there before.
Chip
What?
Mrs. Potts
There may be something there that wasn't there before.
Chip
What's there, mama?
Mrs. Potts
I'll tell you when you're older.

Hi!
Belle
Oh, a stowaway.
Maurice
Why, hello there, little fella. Didn't think I'd ever see you again.

He was raving like a lunatic. We all heard him, didn't we!
Bystanders
Yes!
Belle
No, I won't let you.
Maurice
Belle?
Lefou
Maurice. Tell us again, old man, just how big was the Beast?
Maurice
Well, he was... that is... enormous. I'd say at least eight, no more like ten feet.
Lefou
Well, you don't get much crazier than that.
Maurice
It's true, I tell you!
Lefou
Get him out of here!
Maurice
Let go of me!
Belle
No, you can't do this!
Gaston
Poor Belle. It's a shame about your father.
Belle
You know he's not crazy, Gaston.
Gaston
Hmm. I think I might be able to clear up this little misunderstanding, if...
Belle
If what?
Gaston
If you marry me.
Belle
What?
Gaston
One little word, Belle. That's all it takes.
Belle
Never!
Gaston
Have it your way.
Maurice
Belle? Let go of me!
Belle
My father's not crazy and I can prove it! Show me the Beast!
Woman 1
Is it dangerous?
Belle
Oh, no, no. He'd never hurt anyone. Please, I know he looks vicious, but he's really kind and gentle. He's my friend.
Gaston
If I didn't know better, I'd think you had feelings for this monster.
Belle
He's no monster, Gaston. You are!
Gaston
She's as crazy as the old man! The Beast will make off with your children! He'll come after them in the night!
Belle
No!
Gaston
We're not safe til his head is mounted on my wall! I say we kill the Beast!
Man 1
We're not safe until he's dead.
Man 2
He'll come stalking us at night!
Woman 1
Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite!
Man 3
He'll wreak havoc on our village / If we let him wander free
Gaston
So it's time to take some action, boys / It's time to follow me! Through the mist, through the woods / Through the darkness and the shadows / It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride. / Say a prayer, then we're there / At the drawbridge of a castle, And there's something truly terrible inside. It's a Beast, He's got fangs, razor sharp ones / Massive paws, Killer claws for the feast Hear him roar, see him foam, But we're not coming home, til he's dead / Good and dead, kill the Beast!
[Gaston throws a torch into a haystack, creating an instant bonfire. He begins to prance around it, warning of the dangers of the horrible Beast.; Gaston chases LeFou around, mimicking a monster.; Magic mirror shows the face of Beast to LeFou, which Gaston exaggerates about.]
Belle
No, I won't let you do this.
[Interjecting]
Gaston
If you're not with us, you're against us. Bring the old man.
[Gaston is snatched the mirror and clutches the pants]
Maurice
Get your hands off me!
[Gaston throws them into the basement and bolts the door.]
Gaston
We can't have them runnin off to warn the creature!
Belle
Let us out!
Gaston
We'll rid the village of this Beast. Who's with me?
[To the crowd; A chorus of "I am"s comes from the crowd]
Mob
Light your torch, mount your horse!
Gaston
Screw your courage to the sticking place
Mob
We're countin on Gaston to lead the way! Through a mist, to a wood, Where within a haunted castle, Something's lurking that you don't see every day! It's a Beast, One as tall as a mountain! We won't rest / Until he's good and deceased! Sally forth, tally ho, Grab your sword, grab your bow / Praise the Lord and here we go!
[Gaston leads the Mob through the town and out into the forest, where they start chopping trees in preparation for their assault on the castle.]
Gaston
We'll lay siege to his castle and bring back his head!
Belle
I have to warn the Beast. This is all my fault. Oh, Papa. What are we going to do?
Maurice
Now, now. We'll think of something?
[Comforting her; We see Chip looking in through the window. He turns around, thinking, and then he sees Maurice's contraption with the axe on the end of it.]
Mob
We don't like, what we don't / Understand, it frankly scares us / And this monster is mysterious at least! Bring your guns, bring your knives, Save your children and your wives, We'll save our village and our lives, We'll kill the Beast!
Cogsworth
I knew it, I knew it was foolish to get our hopes up.
Lumière
Maybe it would have been better if she had never come at all. Could it be?
[Sultan comes in barking. They rush over to the window expecting the return of Belle.]
Mrs. Potts
Is it she?
Lumière
Sacre bleu, invaders!
[Realizing the Mob is not Belle]
Cogsworth
Encroachers!
Mrs. Potts
And they have the mirror!
[Seeing Gaston]
Cogsworth
Warn the master. If it's a fight they want, we'll be ready for them. Who's with me? Aahh!
[Issuing orders; Turns around from window; The door is slammed as the rest of the Objects leave Cogsworth behind.]
Gaston
Take whatever booty you can find, but remember, the Beast is mine!
[Cut to stairway, where Objects are marching down to do battle with the Mob.]
Objects
Hearts ablaze, banners high! We go marching into battle, Unafraid, although the danger just increased!
Mob
Raise the flag, sing the song / Here we come, we're fifty strong, and 50 Frenchmen can't be wro-o-o-ong, Let's kill the Beast!
Mrs. Potts
Pardon me, master.
Beast
Leave me in peace.
Mrs. Potts
But sir, the castle is under attack!
Mob
Kill the Beast, kill the Beast!
[The Objects have tried to block off the door, but it is being bashed in by the Mob.]
Lumière
This isn't working!
Featherduster
Oh, Lumière! We must do something!
Lumière
Wait! I know!
Mob
Kill the Beast, kill the Beast!
Mrs. Potts
What shall we do, master?
Beast
It doesn't matter now. Just let them come.
[Still very sad]
Mob
Kill the Beast, kill the Beast, kill the Beast!!
[The Mob succeeds in breaking in, and finds a grand entrance filled with assorted pieces of furniture, teacups, candlesticks, Featherdusters and clocks. They tiptoe in, and Lefou unknowingly picks up Lumière.]
Lumière
NOW!!!
[All the Objects spring into life, attacking their human enemies. Cut back to Belle's home, where Chip has readied the invention with purple smoke.]
Chip
Yes! Here we go!
Maurice
What the devil? Belle, look out!
[The invention crashes into the door, and a red cloud of smoke poofs out of the basement. Belle and Maurice emerge from the wreckage to find Chip swinging on a loose spring.]
Chip
You guys gotta try this thing.
Mrs. Potts
Up here, you scurvy scum! Now!
[She and all the cups pour boiling tea on the guy's head.]
Stove
Roaaaar!
Tom, Stanley and Lefou
AAAAAAAAH!!
Lefou
Move, move, move, move!
Cogsworth
And stay out!
[Lumière pulls over Cogsworth and kisses him once on each cheek. Cogsworth shakes it off.]

Gaston’s Vision of Domestic Life
Belle
Gaston, what a pleasant...surprise.
Gaston
Isn't it though? I'm just full of surprises. You know, Belle. There's not a girl in town who wouldn't love to be in your shoes. This is the day... This is the day your dreams come true.
[Gaston pauses by a mirror and licks his teeth clean.]
Belle
What do you know about my dreams, Gaston?
Gaston
Plenty! Here, picture this. A rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire, and my little wife, massaging my feet, while the little ones play with the dogs. We'll have 6 or 7 even.
[sits, props muddy boots on Belle's book, kicks them off]
Belle
Dogs?
Gaston
No, Belle! Strapping boys, like me!
Belle
Imagine that.
[retrieves book and shelves it]

Lumière
Tonight is the night!
Beast
I'm not sure I can do this.
[hesitantly]
Lumière
You don't have time to be timid. You must be bold, daring.
Beast
Bold. Daring.
[Beast has emerged from the tub and shakes himself dry.]
Lumière
There will be music. Romantic candlelight, provided myself, and when the time is right, you confess your love.
Beast
Yes, I -- I con--No, I can't.
[Inspired]
Lumière
You care for the girl, don't you?
Beast
More than anything.
Lumière
Well then you must tell her. Voila. You look so...so...
[COATRACK has been cutting Beast's hair. It finishes and steps back.; Cut to shot of Beast in pig-tails and bows.]
Beast
Stupid.
Lumière
Not quite the word I was looking for. Perhaps a little more off the top.
[COATRACK begins to cut and chop again. Cogsworth enters.]
Cogsworth
Ahem ahem ahem. Your lady awaits.
[Cut to grand staircase, where Belle descends from the West Wing side in a glittering gold ball gown. She reaches the landing and looks up at Beast, who is standing at the top of the stairs in his dress clothes. He is nudged on by Lumière from behind the curtain, and he descends and meets Belle at the landing. Arm in arm, they descend the last section of stairs and continue on their way to dinner, stopped momentarily by Sultan. Mrs. Potts sings from her cart with Chip on board.]
Mrs. Potts
Tale as old as time / True as it can be / Barely even friends / Then somebody bends / Unexpectedly / Just a little change / Small to say the least / Both a little scared / Neither one prepared / Beauty and the Beast Ever just the same / Ever a surprise / Ever as before, ever just as sure / As the sun will rise / Tale as old as time / Tune as old as song / Bittersweet and strange, / Finding you can change, learning you were wrong / Certain as the sun / Rising in the east / Tale as old as time, / Song as old as rhyme, beauty and the Beast. / Tale as old as time, / Song as old as rhyme, beauty and the Beast. Off to the cupboard with you now, Chip. It's past your bedtime. Good night, love.
[Belle and Beast have moved into the ballroom, where they move through a computer perfect dance sequence. Beast occasionally looks over at Lumière and Cogsworth for their approval. Mrs. Potts and Chip are in the ballroom on their cart.; To Chip; Chip slides off the end of the cart, and hops out of the room, but comes back for one last look. Belle and Beast have adjourned to the balcony under a starry night.]
Beast
Belle? Are you happy here with me?
Belle
Yes.
[Hesitantly; She looks off into the distance]
Beast
What is it?
Belle
If only I could see my father again, just for a moment. I miss him so much.
[Looks at him desperately]
Beast
There is a way. This mirror will show you anything, anything you wish to see.
[Looks disappointed for a moment, then excited.; The pair adjourn to Beast's lair, where Beast hands Belle the magic mirror.]
Belle
I'd like to see my father, please. Papa. Oh, no. He's sick, he may be dying. And he's all alone.
[Hesitantly; The magic mirror shines into life, and Belle turns her head away as it flashes. Then it reveals Maurice fallen in the woods, coughing and lost. Belle is shocked. Beast looks at her with concern.; Beast turns, then looks at the rose, deep in thought.]
Beast
Then...then you must go to him.
Belle
What did you say?
Beast
I release you. You're no longer my prisoner.
Belle
You mean...I'm free?
Beast
Yes.
Belle
Oh, thank you. Hold on, Papa. I’m on my way.
Beast
Take it with you so you'll always have a way to look back and remember me.
Belle
Thank you for understanding how much he needs me.
[Belle turns to leave and Beast looks down in depression. She touches her hand to his cheek and rushes out. We see Belle's skirt fly past Cogsworth, who has entered the room.]
Cogsworth
Well, your highness I have to say that everything it's going great I knew that she was capable.
Beast
I let her go.
Cogsworth
Yes, yes. Splen- You what? How could you do that?
[chuckles; realizes what the Beast just said]
Beast
I had to.
Cogsworth
Yes, but why?
Beast
Because... I love her.
All
: He did WHAT?!
[except Cogsworth]
Cogsworth
Yes, I'm afraid it's true.
Lumière
But he was so close.
Mrs. Potts
After all this time, he's finally learned to love.
Lumière
That's it, then. That should break the spell.
Mrs. Potts
But it's not enough. She has to love him in return.
Cogsworth
And now it's too late.

Then he shouldn't have trespassed here!
Belle
But he could die! Please, I'll do anything!

What?

Beast
I'll show you to your room.
Belle

Beast
You wanna stay in the tower?
Belle
No.
Beast
Then follow me.

Hmm? Oh. I hope you like it here. The castle is your home now, so you can go anywhere you like, except the West Wing.
Belle

Beast
It's forbidden! Now, if you need anything, my servants will attend you.
Lumière
Dinner... invite her to dinner.
Beast
You will join me for dinner. That's not a request!

A Prince's Transformation and a Lesson on Love
Narrator
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away, but she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast, and placed a powerful spell on the castle, and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the beast concealed himself inside his castle, with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world. The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom until his twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time. As the years passed, he fell into despair, and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?

Now it's no wonder that her name means beauty / Her looks have got no parallel!

Gaston
And that makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best?
LeFou
Well of course, I mean you do, but I mean...
Gaston
Right from the moment when I met her, saw her / I said she's gorgeous and I fell / Here in town there's only she / Who is beautiful as me / So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle.
[singing; Belle walks by and away]
Bimbettes
Look there he goes, isn't he dreamy / Monsieur Gaston, oh he's so cute / Be still my heart, I'm hardly breathing / He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute.

Chorus
Look there she goes a girl who's strange but special / A most peculiar mademoiselle / It's a pity and a sin / She doesn't quite fit in! / Cause she really is a funny girl! / A beauty but a funny girl / She really is a funny girl! / That Belle!?
Gaston
Bonjour! Whoa-oh! Hello, Belle.
[song ends; to Bell]
Belle
Bonjour, Gaston. Gaston, may I have my book, please?
[Gaston grabs the book from Belle]
Gaston
How can you read this? There's no pictures!
Belle
Well, some people use their imagination.
Gaston
Belle, it's about time you got your head out of those books, and paid attention to more important things. Like me. The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas and thinking.
[tossing book into the mud; The Bimbettes, who are looking on, sighing romantically. Belle has picked up the book and is cleaning off the mud]
Belle
Gaston, you are positively primeval.
Gaston
Why, thank you, Belle. What do you say you and me take a walk over to the tavern, and take a look at my trophies?
[putting his hand around her shoulders]
Belle
Maybe some other time.
Bimbette #1
What's the matter with her?
Bimbette #2
She's crazy!
Bimbette #3
He's gorgeous.
Belle
Please, Gaston, I can't. I have to get home to help my father. Goodbye.
LeFou
Ha ha ha, that crazy old loon, he needs all the help he can get!
[he and Gaston laugh heartily]
Belle
Don't you talk about my father that way.
[angrily]
Gaston
Yeah, don't talk about her father that way!
[conks LeFou on the head]
Belle
My father's not crazy! He's a genius! Papa?!
[explosion in background. Gaston and LeFou continue laughing. She rushes home and descends into the basement; coughed]
Maurice
How on earth did that happen? Doggone it!
[Belle coughs again; pulls the barrel off his waist, along with his pants]
Belle
Are you alright, Papa?
Maurice
I'm about ready to give up on this hunk of junk!
[kicks the machine]
Belle
You always say that.
Maurice
I mean it this time! I'll never get this boneheaded contraption to work!
Belle
Yes, you will. And you'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow. And become a world-famous inventor.
[Maurice scoffs]
Maurice
You really believe that?
Belle
I always have.
Maurice
Well, what are we waiting for? I'll have this thing fixed in no time. Hand me that... The dog-legged clincher there. So, did you have a good time in town today?
Belle
I got a new book. Papa, do you think I'm odd?
Maurice
My daughter? Odd? Ha! Where would you get an idea like that?
Belle
I don't know. It's just that I'm not sure I fit in here. There's no one I can really talk to.
Maurice
What about that Gaston? He's a handsome fella.
Belle
He's handsome, all right, and rude and conceited and... Oh, Papa, he's not for me.
Maurice
Well, don't you worry. Cause this invention's gonna be the start of a new life for us. I think that's done it. Now, let's give it a try.
[comes out from under machine]
Belle
It works!
Maurice
It does? It does!
Belle
You did it! You really did it!
Maurice
Hitch up Philippe, girl. I'm off to the fair!
Belle
Goodbye, Papa! Good luck!
Maurice
Goodbye, Belle, and take care while I'm gone!

Determination to Rescue Loved One
Maurice
If no one will help me, then I'll go back alone. Yes, is that everything? I don't care what it takes. I'll find that castle and somehow, I... I'll get her out of there.

Gaston Faces Rejection and Humiliation
Gaston
Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with the wrong man! No one says no to Gaston!
[displeased about what happened to him]
LeFou
Heh-heh! Darn right!
Gaston
Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly Humiliated! Why, it's more than I can bear!
[throwing his two mugs of beer into the fireplace]
LeFou
More beer?
Gaston
What for? Nothing helps! I'm disgraced.
[frustratingly turning his chair away from the fireplace]
LeFou
Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've gotta pull yourself together! Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston / Looking so down in the dumps / Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston
[singing]
Gaston's buddies
Hooray!
LeFou
Even when taking your lumps / There's no man in town as admired as you / You're everyone's favorite guy! / Everyone's awed and inspired by you / AND IT'S NOT... VERY HARD! TO SEE WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY?! / Noooooo, oooone's sllllick as Gaston, no one's quick as Gaston / No one's next as incredibly thick as Gaston / For there's no man in town half as manly / Perfect, a pure paragon! / You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley / And they'll tell you who's team they'd prefer to be yooooooown!!!!!!
[LeFou has pulled a man's belt off, whose pants fall to the ground. LeFou jumps up and wraps the belt around Gaston's neck, who flexes and breaks it off. LeFou continues to dance around. Old cronies pick him up and swing him around]
Old Cronies
Noooooo, oooone's been like Gaston, a king-pin like Gaston.
LeFou
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston.
Gaston
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!
Old Cronies
My, what a guy that Gaston! Give 5 hurrahs, give 12 hip-hips!
[swing LeFou back and forth into the camera. LeFou tickles Gaston's chin, who stands with pride]
LeFou
Gaston is the best and the rest is all drips!
All
Noooooo, oooone, fights like Gaston, douses lights like Gaston.
Stanley
In a wrestling match, nobody bites like Gaston.
Bimbettes
For there's no one as burly and brawny.
Gaston
As you see I've got biceps to spare.
LeFou
Not a bit of him scraggly or scrawny.
Gaston
That's right! And every last inch of me's covered with hair!
[Gaston fights with the men, then lifts a bench with the Bimbettes on it. He drops the bench on LeFou, then turns to the camera and reveals his hairy chest]
Old Cronies
No one hits like Gaston, matches wits like Gaston.
LeFou
In a spitting match, nobody spits like Gaston!
Gaston
I'm especially good at expectorating! Ptooey!
All
10 POINTS FOR GASTON!
Gaston
When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs. Every morning to help me get LARGE!!! And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs. So I'm roughly the size of a ba-a-a-a-arge!
[Gaston juggles a number of eggs, then swallows them whole. LeFou attempts the trick, and is hit in the face by three eggs]
All
Noooooo, oooone shoots like Gaston, makes those beauts like Gaston.
LeFou
Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston.
Gaston
I use antlers in all of my decorating!
All
My what a guuuuuy! GASTOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN!!!!!!
Maurice
Help! Someone help me!
Tavern Man
Maurice?
Maurice
Please! Please, I need your help! He's got her. He's got her locked in the dungeon.
Tom
Who?
Maurice
Belle. We must go. Not... not a minute to lose!
Gaston
Whoa! Slow down, Maurice. Who's got Belle locked in a dungeon?
Maurice
A beast! A horrible, monstrous beast!
[Maurice has gone from person to person, pleading his case, until he is thrown at the feet of Gaston. A moment of silence, then the old cronies begin to laugh and mock him]
Dick
Is it a big beast?
Maurice
Huge!
Stanley
With a long, ugly snout?
Maurice
Hideously ugly!
Walter
And sharp, cruel fangs?
Maurice
Yes, yes. Will you help me?
Gaston
All right, old man. We'll help you out.
Maurice
You will? Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Tom
Crazy old Maurice.
Dick
He's always good for a laugh!
Gaston
Crazy old Maurice, hmm? Crazy old Maurice. Hmm? LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking.
[very pensive; singing]
LeFou
A dangerous pastime--
[singing]
Gaston
I know, / But that wacky old coot is Belle's father / And his sanity's only so-so...| Now the wheels in my head have been turning / Since I looked at that loony old man / See I promised myself I'd be married to Belle, / And right now I'm evolving a plan!
[singing; Gaston picks LeFou out from under the chair and holds his head close, and whispers]
Gaston
If I...
[whispers]
LeFou
Yes?
Gaston
Then I...
[whispers]
LeFou
No, would she?
Gaston
...GUESS!
[whispering]
LeFou
Now I get it!
Gaston and LeFou
Let's Go! Noooooo, oooooone, plots like Gaston, takes cheap shots like Gaston.
[they begin a waltz around the floor as they sings]
LeFou
Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston.
Chorus
SO HIS MARRIAGE WE SOON'LL BE Celebra-a-a-ti-i-ing! / My what a guy, GASTOOOOOOOOOON!!!
Maurice
Will no one help me?
[to no one in particular; Random; ? At the bedroom of the castle where Belle is still crying. There is a 'clink clink clink' at the door. She gets up and walks over to open the door. Mrs. Potts enters with Chip and their entourage]
Belle
Who is it?
Mrs. Potts
Mrs. Potts, dear. I thought you might like a spot of tea.
Belle
But you...ah...but...I--
Wardrobe
Oof. Careful!
Belle
This is impossible--
Wardrobe
I know it is, but here we are!
Chip
Told you she was pretty, Mama, didn't I?
Mrs. Potts
All right, now, Chip, that'll do. Slowly now. Don't spill.
Belle
Thank you.
Chip
Want to see me do a trick?
Mrs. Potts
Chip?!
Chip
Oops, sorry.
Mrs. Potts
That was a very brave thing you did, my dear.
Wardrobe
We all think so.
Belle
But I've lost my father, my dreams, everything.
Mrs. Potts
Cheer up, child. It'll turn out all right in the end. You'll see. Oops! Look at me, jabbering on, when there's a supper to get on the table. Chip!
Chip
Bye!
Wardrobe
Well now, what shall we dress you in for dinner? Let's see what I've got in my drawers. Oh-ho! How embarrassing. Here we are. Ah! There you are, you'll look ravishing in this one!
Belle
That's very kind of you, but I'm not going to dinner.
Wardrobe
Oh, but you must!
Cogsworth
Dinner is served.
Beast
What's taking so long? I told her to come down. Why isn't she here yet?!
Mrs. Potts
Oh, try to be patient, sir. The girl has lost her father and her freedom all in one day.
Lumière
Uh, master. Have you thought that, perhaps, this girl could be the one to break the spell?
Beast
Of course I have! I'm not a fool.
Lumière
Good! You fall in love with her, she falls in love with you, and - Poof! - the spell is broken! We'll be human again by midnight!
Mrs. Potts
Oh, it's not that easy, Lumière. These things take time.
Lumière
But the rose has already begun to wilt.
Beast
Oh, it's no use. She's so beautiful, and I'm... well, look at me!
Mrs. Potts
Oh, you must help her to see past all that.
Beast
I don't know how.
Mrs. Potts
Well, you can start by making yourself more presentable. Straighten up, try to act like a gentleman.
Lumière
Ah yes, when she comes in, give her a dashing, debonair smile. Come, come. Show me the smile.
Mrs. Potts
But don't frighten the poor girl.
Lumière
Impress her with your rapier wit.
Mrs. Potts
But be gentle.
Lumière
Shower her with compliments.
Mrs. Potts
But be sincere.
Lumière
And above all...
Mrs. Potts and Lumière
You must control your temper!
Lumière
There she is!
Cogsworth
Uh, good evening.
Beast
Well, where is she?
Cogworth
Who? Oh! The girl. Yes, the, ah, girl. Well, actually, she's in the process of, ah, um, circumstances being what they are, ew... She's not coming.
Beast
WHAT?!?!
Cogsworth
Oh, dear, Your Grace, Your Eminence! Let's not be hasty!
Beast
I thought I told you to come down to dinner!
Belle
I'm not hungry.
Beast
You come out, or I'll...I'll...I'LL BREAK DOWN THE DOOR!!!
Lumière
Master, I could be wrong, but that may not be the best way to win the girl's affections.
Cogsworth
Please, attempt to be a gentleman.
Beast
But she is being so difficult!
Mrs. Potts
Gently, gently.
Beast
Will you come down to dinner?
Belle
No!
Beast
Hmm?!
Cogsworth
Uh-uh-uh! Suave. Genteel.
Beast
It would give me great pleasure... if you would join me for dinner.
Cogsworth
Ahem, ahem, we say "please".
Beast
Please.
Belle
No, thank you!
Beast
You can't stay in there forever!
Belle
Yes, I can!
Beast
Fine! Then go ahead and STAAAAARVE!! If she doesn't eat with me, then she doesn't eat at all!
Mrs. Potts
Oh, dear. That didn't go very well at all, did it?
Cogsworth
Lumière, stand watch at the door and inform me at once if there is the slightest change.
Lumière
You can count on me, mon-capitan.
Cogsworth
Well, we might as well go downstairs and start cleaning up.
Beast
I ask nicely, but she refuses! What-What does she want me to do?! Beg?! Show me the girl.
Wardrobe
But the master's really not so bad once you get to know him. Why don't you give him a chance?
Belle
I don't want to get to know him. I don't want to have anything to do with him!
Beast
I'm just fooling myself. She'll never see me as anything but a monster. It's hopeless.

Lost in the Woods
Maurice
We should be there by now. Maybe we missed a turn. I guess I should have taken...wait a minute. No, let's go this way! Come on, Philippe, it's a shortcut! We'll be there in no time. This can't be right. Where have you taken us, Philippe? We'd better turn around. Whoa. Whoa, boy. Whoa, now. Whoa, Philippe. Look out! No! Whoa! Whoa, boy! Back up! Back up! Back up! Good boy, good boy. That's good, that's–back up! Steady. Steady! Now, steady. Steady. Oh, no, Philippe?! Help! Is... Is someone there? Help!
[above them, an owl hoots, adding to the spookiness of the environment; raising his lantern toward a sign with arrows pointing in separate directions, though the writing is faded and unreadable. Philippe snorts, and whinnies to go one fashion, but he pulls his reins in the separate direction; Philippe whinnies and looks at the path Maurice has picked. It is dark and foggy, with many trees forming an archway. Then he looks at the other path, which is much more inviting. Philippe whinnies to go on the safer path, but he pulls him toward the other one; the two continue down the path, albeit slowly due to Philippe, fearing what can be lurking about in the darkness. At that moment, a shadow whisks past them and the sound of wolf howling fills the air, spooking Philippe whinnies; looking at his map; suddenly, the howling becomes louder. Philippe whinnies to back up, afraid of whatever might be around them; but the spooked horse does not stop in time, and bumps into a hollow tree. A flocks of bats swarm out and surround them; Philippe runs off in fear, not noticing where he's going; eventually, his steed stops until he sees where he is; at the edge of a very tall cliff; they back off slowly, yet afraid to an inch of their lives; the howling is now so loud, Philippe whinnying; looks up and sees wolves growling at him. Maurice runs away, being chased by the wolves. He stumbles down a hill, and lands at the gate of a castle. He grabs the locked gate and tries to shake it open]
Maurice
Hello? Hello?
Lumière
Poor fellow must have lost his way in the woods.
[barely whispering]
Cogsworth
Keep quiet! Maybe he'll go away.
[also whispering]
Maurice
Is someone there?
Cogsworth
Not a word, Lumiere. Not one word!
Maurice
I don't mean to intrude, but I've lost my horse and I need a place to stay for the night.
Lumière
Oh, Cogsworth, have a heart.
[looking at Cogsworth like a child having just found a lost puppy]
Cogsworth
Shush shush shhhhh! Ow, ow! Ow OW OW OUCH!!!!!
[puts hand over Lumière's mouth, who promptly proceeds to touch his lit candle hand to Cogsworth's hand]
Lumière
Of course, monsieur, you are welcome here.
Maurice
Who said that?
[looking around in confusion]
Lumière
Over here!
[tapping him on the shoulder]
Maurice
Where?
[spins around, pulling Lumière to the other side]
Lumière
Hello!
[taps Maurice on the side of the head. Maurice looks at Lumière]
Maurice
Oh!!!! Incredible!
[startled, he drops Lumière onto the floor]
Cogsworth
Well, now you've done it, Lumière. Splendid, just peachy--aaarrrgghh!
[hopping over]
Maurice
How is this accomplished?
Cogsworth
Put me down! At once! Stop that! Stop that, I say! Sir, close that at once, do you mind!
[Maurice tickles the bottoms of Cogsworth's feet. He laughs. He begins to wind the spring on the back of Cogsworth's head, twisting his face around with the clock hands. Maurice opens the front of Cogsworth and begins to play with his pendulum. Cogsworth slams the door shut on his finger]
Maurice
I beg your pardon, it's just that I've never seen a clock that...aah...I mean...aah aah aah-chooo!!!
Lumière
Oh, you are soaked to the bone, monsieur. Come, warm yourself by the fire.
Maurice
Thank you.
Cogsworth
No, no, no, do you know what the master would do if he finds you here. I demand that you stop...right...there! Oh, no, not the master's chair! I'm not seeing this, I'm not seeing this!
[Beast is watching the action from an overhead walkway, and rushes off as the trio enters the den; Cogsworth tumbles down the steps. Maurice takes a seat in a large chair in front of a roaring fire; Footstool rushes past Cogsworth, barking up a storm]
Maurice
Well, hello there, boy. What service!
[as Footstool rushes up to him; Footstool props himself up under the feet of Maurice. Coatrack enters and removes his cloak]
Cogsworth
All right, this has gone far enough. I'm in charge here...
Mrs. Potts
How would you like a nice spot of tea, sir? It'll warm you up in no time.
[arriving by the side of Maurice]
Cogsworth
No! No tea, no tea!!!
[from face down position on carpet]
Chip
Ha ha! His mustache tickles, Mama!
[as Maurice sips the tea]
Maurice
Oh! Hello!
[startled by the cup]
Chip
Uh-oh!
Beast
There's a stranger here.
[first words; growling his words]
Lumière
Master, allow me to explain. The gentleman was lost in the woods and he was cold and wet, so...
[who has relit his flames]
Cogsworth
Master, I'd like to take this moment to say, I was against this from the start. It was all his fault. I tried to stop them, but would they listen to me? No, no...
[coming out from under a rug; Again, Beast's growl drowns out Cogsworth]
Beast
Who are you?! What are you doing here?!
Maurice
I-I-I was lost in the woods and--
Beast
You're not WELCOME HERE!
Maurice
I-I'm...I'm sorry.
Beast
What are you STARING AT?!
Maurice
Nothing.
Beast
So...you've come to stare at the BEAST, HAVE YOU?!?!
[blocks Maurice's way]
Maurice
Please! I mean no harm, I just needed a place to stay!
[pleaders]
Beast
I'll give you a place to stay!
[picks up Maurice]
Maurice
No, no, please! No! No!
[as the Beast takes him to the tower; door slams]
