Beauty and the Beast Page #3

---

A great singer.

When she can stay awake.

Cogsworth! A diva needs

her beauty rest.

Stay with us, Madame.

We have someone

for you to dress!

Finally...

a woman.

Pretty eyes.

Proud face.

Perfect canvas. Yes!

I will find you something

worthy of a princess.

Oh, I'm not a princess.

Nonsense!

Now, let's see

what I've got in my drawers.

Oh!

How embarrassing.

Froufrou, come help Mama.

Subtle. Understated.

I love it!

Froufrou, send my love

to the maestro.

Picture it, LeFou.

A rustic cabin...

my latest kill

roasting on the fire...

adorable children running

around us as my love...

rubs my tired feet.

But what does Belle say?

"I will never marry you,

Gaston!"

You know,

there are other girls.

A great hunter doesn't

waste his time on rabbits.

Gosh it disturbs me

to see you, Gaston

Looking so down in the dumps

Every guy here'd

love to be you, Gaston

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 why

No one's slick as Gaston

No one's quick as Gaston

No one's neck's 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

whose team they prefer to be on

Who plays

Darts like Gaston?

- Who breaks

- Hearts like Gaston?

Who's much more than the sum

of his parts like Gaston?

As a specimen,

yes, I'm intimidating

My, what a guy,

that Gaston

I needed encouragement

Thank you, LeFou

Well, there's no one

As easy to bolster as you

Too much?

Yep!

No one fights like Gaston

Douses lights like Gaston

In a wrestling match

Nobody bites like Gaston

When I hunt,

I sneak up with my quiver

And beasts of the field

say a prayer

Aah...

First I carefully aim for the liver

Then I shoot from behind

Is that fair?

I don't care

No one hits like Gaston

Matches wits like Gaston

In a spitting match

nobody spits like Gaston

I'm especially good

at expectorating

Ooh!

Ten points for Gaston!

Thank you. Thank you.

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 barge

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Who has brains

Like Gaston

- Entertains

- Like Gaston

Who can make up

these endless refrains like Gaston

I use antlers

in all of my decorating

Say it again

Who's a man among men?

Who's a super success?

Don't you know?

Can't you guess?

Ask his fans

and his five hangers-on

There's just one guy in town

Who's got all of it down

And his name's, G-A-S- I believe there's another 'T'

It just occurred to me

that I'm illiterate

And I've never actually had

to spell it out loud before

Gaston

Oh, LeFou, you're the best.

How is it no girl

has snatched you up yet?

I've been told I'm clingy,

but I really don't get it.

Please, please.

Someone, someone.

- You, help...

- Whoa, whoa.

You must help me.

It's Belle!

He's got, he's got Belle.

She's locked in a dungeon.

Who's got her?

A beast!

A huge, horrid,

monstrous beast!

My daughter's life

is in danger.

Why do you laugh?

It's not a joke.

His castle is hidden

in the woods.

It's already winter there.

Winter in June?

Crazy old Maurice!

Listen to me!

The beast is real.

Do you understand?

Will no one help me?

I'll help, Maurice.

What?

You will?

Everybody...

stop making fun of this man at once.

Captain, thank you.

Don't thank me, Maurice.

Lead us to the beast.

Come.

Hmm.

Oh.

Mama! There's a girl in the castle!

Yes, Chip, we know!

What kind of tea

does she like?

Herbal, oolong...

chamomile...

I'm too excited!

Slow down before

you break your handle.

- Heads up, Mrs. Potts.

- Oh.

Lumire!

- Oh!

- Be calm. Let me do the talking.

You're making her dinner!

Well, we thought you might

appreciate the company.

Master, I just want

to assure you...

that I had no part

in this hopeless plan.

Preparing a dinner, designing

a gown for her, giving her...

a suite in the east wing!

You gave her a bedroom?

No, no, no.

He gave her a bedroom.

This is true.

But if this girl is the one

who can break the spell...

then maybe you could start

by using dinner to charm her.

- Good thinking, Cogsworth.

- What?

That's the most

ridiculous idea...

I've ever heard.

Charm the prisoner!

But you must try, Master.

With every passing day...

we become less human.

She's the daughter

of a common thief.

What kind of person do you

think that makes her?

Oh, you can't judge people...

by who their father is,

now can you?

You'll join me for dinner.

That's not a request.

Gently, Master.

The girl lost her father...

and her freedom in one day.

Yes, the poor thing is probably in there,

scared to death.

Exactly.

Just a minute.

You see? There she is.

Now, remember, be gentle.

- Kind!

- Charming!

Sweet!

And when she opens the door,

give her a dashing,

debonair smile.

Come, come. Show me the smile.

- Oh, mon dieu!

- Oh, no.

Will you join me for dinner?

You've taken me

as your prisoner

and now you want

to have dinner with me?

Are you insane?

Uh-oh. He's losing it.

Oh, dear!

I told you

to join me for dinner.

And I told you no.

Ooh! What time is it?

What's happening?

I'd starve before

I ever ate with you.

Well, be my guest.

Go ahead and starve.

If she doesn't eat with me...

then she doesn't eat at all.

Idiots!

You can't talk to us

like that. I forbid it.

Uh... Oh. Am I too late?

Shame, I was really going to

tell him off this time.

Oh, Master, you've returned.

- Oh, very funny.

- I got you there.

Show me the girl.

Another petal fell.

Lumire...

I grew three more feathers.

And I just plucked yesterday.

I know, darling.

I'm getting more

metallic every day.

Oh, no. It's happening again.

Pardon me.

Oh, everyone, calm yourselves.

- We still have time.

- Mama...

am I ever going

to be a boy again?

Oh, yes, Chip.

You'll have your days...

in the sun again.

You just leave it to me.

I told you to go away.

Don't worry, dear.

It's only Mrs. Potts.

Oh!

Oh, aren't you a vision!

How lovely...

to make your acquaintance.

It's a very long journey.

Let me fix you up...

before you go.

I have found...

that most troubles

seem less troubling...

after a bracing cup of tea.

Slowly now, Chip.

Pleased to meet you.

Wanna see me do a trick?

Chip!

That was a very brave thing

you did for your father, dearie.

Yes.

We all think so.

I'm worried about him.

He's never been on his own.

Cheer up, my poppet.

Things will turn out

in the end.

You'll feel a lot better...

after dinner.

But he said,

"If she doesn't eat with me,

then she doesn't eat at all."

Mmm, people say

a lot of things in anger.

It is our choice

whether or not to listen.

You coming, poppet?

Go!

They are coming. Final checks,

everyone! Tout de suite!

No, you don't!
