[Music: "Prologue"]
[Music: "Belle"]
Gaston: Hello, Belle!
Belle: Bonjour, Gaston.
Gaston: How can you read this? There's no pictures!
Belle: Some people use their imaginations!
Gaston: Belle, it's about time you got your head out of these books and
paid attention to more important things... like me!
Bimbettes: Aaaahhhh!
Gaston: The whole town is talking about it. It's not right for a woman
to read! Soon she starts getting ideas... thinking...
Belle: Gaston, you are positively primeval!
Gaston: Why, thank you, Belle! Now whaddaya say you and I go to the
tavern and look at my trophies?
Belle: Uh... Maybe some other time! I have to get home and help my
father!
Lefou: That crazy old loon needs all the help he can get!
Gaston: Yeah!
Belle: Don't talk about my father that way!
Gaston: Yeah, don't talk about her father that way!
Belle: My father's not crazy... he's a genius!
Papa!
[Where are the 3 Bimbettes? "What's the matter with her? She's crazy! He's
gorgeous!"]
Belle: Papa! Papa, are you alright?
Maurice: How on earth did that happen?
Belle: Papa!
Maurice: I'm about ready to give up on this hunk of junk!
Belle: You always say that!
Maurice: I mean it this time! I'll never get this bone-headed
contraption to work!
Belle: Yes, you will! And you'll win first prize at the faire
tomorrow and be a world-famous inventor!
Maurice: You really believe that?
Belle: I always have!
Maurice: Then what are we waiting for? I'll have this thing fixed in no
time! Did you have fun in town today?
Belle: I got a new book.
Maurice: Could you get me that dog-eared clincher?
Belle: Papa, do you think I am odd?
Maurice: My daughter? Odd? Now where did you get an idea like that?
Belle: I don't know, I just don't feel like I belong here.
Maurice: How about that Gaston? He's a handsome fellow!
Belle: Yeah, he's handsome alright! ...And rude, and conceited... Oh,
Papa, he isn't for me!
Maurice: Well, don't you worry, because this invention is going to be
the start of a whole new life for us. Let's give her another
try!
Belle: It works!
Maurice: It does? It does!
Belle: It really works!
Maurice: Well, Belle, I'm off to the faire!
Belle: Goodbye! Good luck Papa!
Maurice: Goodbye, Belle! Take care while I'm gone!
Maurice: We should be there by now... Maybe we missed a turn.
Maybe I should have taken...
Come 'on Phillipe! It's a short-cut!
Where have you taken us, Phillipe?!
Phillipe, NO!
BACK UP, BACK UP!
Steady Phillipe!
Phillipe, come back... Phillipe...
Help, somebody, help!
Hello, anybody home...
Lumiere: Poor fellow, must've lost his way in the woods.
Cogsworth: Keep quiet, and maybe he'll go away.
Maurice: I lost my horse in the woods...
Cogsworth: Not a word, Lumiere! Not ONE word!
Lumiere: Oh, Cogsworth... have a heart.
Maurice: Is someone there?
Lumiere: Monsieur, you are welcome here!
Maurice: Where?
Lumiere: Allo.
Euuuhhh...
Cogsworth: Now you've done it, Lumiere!
Maurice: Incredible! How is this accomplished?
Cogsworth: Teheheeehehe...
Do you mind? Close that AT ONCE, monsieur!
Maurice: Aaachhoooo!
Lumiere: Why, you are soaked to the bone, monsieur! Come... warm
yourself by the fire!
Maurice: Thank you...
Cogsworth: No Lumiere! I forbid it! The master will be furious if he
finds him here!
No, no, no... not the master's chair!
Pooch: Aaarf! Aaarf!
Cogsworth: I'm not seeing this! Not the master's pooch!
Maurice: What service!
Cogsworth: I'm in charge here...
Ms. Potts: How'd you like a spot of tea, sir? It'll warm you up in no
time!
Cogsworth: No! No tea! NO TEA!!
Beast: There's a stranger here...
Lumiere: M-master... Allow me to explain! The gentleman was lost in
the woods and...
Beast: Aaaarrrrrr!
Cogsworth: I'd like to take this moment to say...
It's all his fault... I said no, but would they listen to me?
No, ...
Beast: Aaaarrrrrr!
Who are you? What are you doing here? You're not welcome
here!
Maurice: Please... I meant no harm! I just needed a place to stay!
Beast: What are you staring at?!
Maurice: I-I...
Beast: Soooo, come to stare at the Beast, have you?! I'll give you
a place to stay!
Maurice: No, no, ...
LeFou: Boy, Belle's going to be surprised!
Gaston: Yup, today's her lucky day.
I'd like to thank you all for coming to my wedding! First,
I'd better go in there and propose to the girl!
Bimbettes: Boo, hoo, hoo...
Gaston: Now, LeFou, when Belle and I come out that door...
LeFou: I know! I know! Strike up the band!
Gaston: Not NOW!
LeFou: Sorry...
Belle: Gaston! What a ...er... pleasant surprise!
Gaston: Isn't it, though? I'm just full of surprises!
This is the day your dreams come true, Belle!
Belle: What do you know about my dreams, Gaston?
Gaston: Picture this... a rustic hunting lodge... my latest kill
roasting on the fire... The little ones playing on the floor
with the dogs...
We'll have six or seven of them!
Belle: Dogs?
Gaston: No, strapping young boys, like me!
Belle: Imagine that.
Gaston: ...and my little wife massaging my feet... Do you know who
that little wife will be?
YOU, Belle!
Belle: I'm speechless. Gaston, I really don't know what to say!
Gaston: Just say you'll marry me.
Belle: I'm very sorry Gaston, but... I just don't deserve you!
LeFou: So, how'd it go?
Gaston: I'll have Belle as my wife, MAKE NO MISTAKE!
LeFou: Hmmmphh! Touchy!
Pig: Oink.
[Music: "Belle (Reprise)"]
Belle: Phillipe! What are you doing here?!
Where's Papa?
What happened? Oh, we have to find him!
Phillipe, you have to take me to him!
Belle: Where is this place?
Phillipe: Snort.
Belle: Papa's hat!
Hello?! Is anyone here?
Papa! Papa, it's Belle!
Cogsworth: Couldn't keep quiet, could we? Just had to invite him to stay,
didn't we? Sit in the master's chair... Pet the pooch!
Lumiere: I was trying to be hospitable!
Belle: Papa!
Lumiere & Cogs: Huh?
Lumiere: It's a girl!
Cogsworth: I know it's a girl!
Lumiere: Don't you see?! She's the one. She's come to break the spell!
Belle: Hello, who's there? Wait! I'm looking for my father...
Maurice: Belle, is that you?
Belle: Papa!
Maurice: How did you find me?
Belle: Your hands are like ice! Who did this to you? I must get you
out of here!
Maurice: Belle, listen to me... You must leave this place! I've no
time to explain!
Belle: Who are you?!
Beast: The master of this castle.
Belle: I've come for my father. There must be some misunderstanding!
Please, let him out! Can't you see he's sick?!
Beast: Then he shouldn't have trespassed here!
Belle: But he could die! I'll do anything, please! There must be
some way I can convince you...
Beast: There's nothing you can do. He's my prisoner now.
Belle: Wait! Take me instead!
Beast: You. You would take his place?
Maurice: No Belle!
Belle: If I do, would you let him go?
Beast: Yes, but you must promise to stay here forever!
Belle: Come into the light...
You have my word.
Maurice: No Belle! I won't let you do this! I'm old, I've lived my
life!
Belle: Papa!
Maurice: I won't let you do this!
Beast: She's no longer your concern. She's my prisoner now.
Take him back to the village!
Lumiere: Master...
Beast: What?!
Lumiere: Umm, since the girl is going to be with us for quite some time,
I was think that you might want to offer her a more comfortable
room...
Beast: Aaaarrghh!
Lumiere: Then again, maybe not!
Belle: You didn't even let me say goodbye... I'll never see him again!
Beast: I'll show you to your room.
Belle: You mean...
Beast: You wanna... You want to stay in the tower?!
Belle: No!
Beast: Then follow me...
Lumiere: Say something to her...
Beast: I, uh, hope you like it here. The castle is your home now, so
you can go anywhere you like...
...except the West Wing.
Belle: What's in...?
Beast: It's forbidden!!!
Beast: Here's your room. If you need anything, my servants will
attend you.
Lumiere: Invite her to dinner...
Beast: You will join me for dinner! That's not a request!
Belle: Ohh!

For example "Script City" (orders:1-800-676-2522,
info:213-871-0707) will sell you a script to "Beauty and the Beast (1991)"
for $24.95 (plus shipping). It's not cheap, and I'm not a
representative (heck, I've never even been a customer!), but I thought
it should be mentioned...
