Beauty and the Beast Page #4

If the master finds out

you violated his orders

and fed her he will blame me!

Yes, I will make sure of it.

But did you see her

stand up to him?

I am telling you,

this girl is the one.

They must fall in love

if we are to be human again...

and how can they fall in love

if she stays in her room?

Hey, Chapeau,

you missed a spot.

You know

she'll never love him.

A broken clock is right

two times a day, mon ami...

but this is not one of those times.

Stand up straight!

It's time to sparkle!

Mmm! I have no taste buds,

but I can tell this is exquisite.

Off! Off me while I work!

Pepper, get cracking!

Salt, shake a leg!

Not so loud! Keep it down.

Of course, of course!

But what is dinner...

without a little music?

Music?

Maestro Cadenza,

are you ready?

It has been so long

since I have performed.

I can barely even

remember how.

- Ah!

- Ooh!

Another cavity.

Maestro,

your wife is upstairs...

finding it harder and harder

to stay awake.

She's counting on you

to help us break this curse.

Then I shall

play through the dental pain.

Maestro, play quietly, please.

Oh, quietly.

Sotto voce! Of course!

Are there any other

tasteless demands...

you wish to make upon

my artistry?

No, that's it.

There you are, dear.

Ma chre mademoiselle.

It is with deepest pride

and greatest pleasure...

that we welcome you tonight.

Here! 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, chrie

And we'll 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,

oui, our guest

Be our guest

Ooh!

Beef ragout

Cheese souffl

Pie and pudding en flamb

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

And it's all in perfect taste

That you can bet

Come on and

lift your glass

You've won your own free pass

To be our guest

If you're stressed

It's fine dining we suggest

Be our guest

Be our guest,

be our guest

Life is so unnerving

For a servant

who's not serving

He's not whole

Without a soul to wait upon

Ah, those good old days

when we were useful

Eh, Cogsworth?

Suddenly those good old days are gone

Too long we've been rusting

Needing so much more than dusting

Needing exercise,

a chance to use our skills

Most days we just lay

around the castle

Flabby, fat and lazy

You walked in

and whoops-a-daisy

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 sakes,

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

She's our guest

Be our guest, be our guest

Our command

is your request

It's been years

since we've had anybody

Here and we're obsessed

With your meal

With your ease

Yes indeed, we aim to please

While the candlelight's

still glowing

Let us help you,

we'll keep going

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 now let's eat up

Be our guest

Be our guest

Please be our guest

Pudding?

I don't understand why

you're all being so kind to me.

Surely, you're as trapped

here as I am.

Don't you ever want to escape?

The master's not

as terrible as he appears.

Somewhere deep in his soul,

there's a prince...

of a fellow who just waiting

to be set free.

Lumire mentioned something

about the west wing.

Never you mind about that.

Off to bed with you, poppet.

- Good night.

- Nighty-night.

Straight to bed.

What are you doing here?

What did you do to it?

Nothing.

Do you realize

what you could have done?

You could have damned us all!

Get out of here!

Go!

Checkmate. Again.

Wait! No! You cheated again.

Mademoiselle,

what are you doing?

Getting out of here.

Stop!

Go! Go! Froufrou!

Yes, Froufrou. Stop her.

Don't let her leave!

Stop her!

No! No! Froufrou!

No!

No, it's not play time!

Not now, silly boy.

Bad dog. Bad dog!

No! No! No!

Please don't go!

It's dangerous!

Oh, my!

You have to help me.

You have to stand.

No!

I'm sure this is the way.

Do you hear those wolves?

That means we're getting

very close to the castle.

Look, enough is enough.

We have to turn back.

Stop!

That's it! There it is!

That's the tree!

I'm sure of it.

It was downed

by lightning at the time.

But now...

it's resumed

an upright position...

through some sort of...

magic or other.

You really wanna marry

into this family?

So, that means...

that the castle is that...

No.

No, it's...

That way.

Definitely, that way.

I am done playing

this game of yours.

Where is Belle?

The beast took her and she...

There are no such things

as beasts.

Or talking teacups.

Or magic!

But there are wolves,

frostbite, and starvation.

Deep breaths, Gaston.

Deep breaths.

So, why don't we just turn around?

Go back to Villeneuve.

I'm sure Belle is at home,

cooking up a lovely dinner.

If you think

I've made all this up...

then why did you offer to help?

Because I want to marry

your daughter!

Now, let's go home.

Belle is not at home.

She is with the...

You say beast one more time...

I will feed you to the wolves!

Gaston! Stop it! Breathe!

Think happy thoughts.

Go back to the war.

Blood.

Explosions. Countless widows.

- Widows.

- Yes. Yes.

That's it.

That's it.

Maurice!

Please, forgive me, old bean.

That's no way to talk

to my future father-in-law...

now is it?

Future father-in-law?

Yeah!

You will never marry

my daughter.

I saw that coming.

If Maurice won't

give me his blessing...

then he is in my way.

Once the wolves

are finished with him...

Belle will have no one

to take care of her but me.

For the sake of exhausting

all of our options...

do we maybe wanna consider

a slightly less...

gruesome alternative?

Are you coming?

Yah!

That hurts!

If you held still,

it wouldn't hurt as much.

Well, if you hadn't run away,

none of this would have happened.

Well, if you hadn't frightened me,

I wouldn't have run away.

Well, you shouldn't have been

in the west wing.

Well, you should learn

to control your temper!

Try to get some rest.

Thank you, miss.

We are eternally grateful.

Why do you care

about him so much?
