Beauty and the Beast Page #6

---

The rose has only four petals left

which means tonight...

you can tell her how you feel.

I feel like a fool.

She will never love me.

Do not be discouraged.

She is the one.

I wish you'd stop saying that!

There is no "one."

You care for her, don't you?

Well, then,

woo her with beautiful music

and romantic candlelight.

Yes, and when

the moment's just right...

Well, how will I know?

You will feel slightly nauseous.

Don't worry, Master.

You'll do fine.

Just stop being so nervous

and tell Belle how you feel.

Because if you don't...

I promise you'll be drinking cold tea

for the rest of your days!

- In the dark.

- Covered in dust.

Dark and very, very dusty.

Start with the hair.

Women love nice hair!

I'll take

the fingers and toes.

Chapeau, brush those teeth.

They need it.

Dip, dip.

Snip, snip.

Polish the nails.

Shine the horns.

Eyes closed. Poof, poof.

And to top it all off...

Voil!

Okay, I can fix this.

Oh! Beautiful!

But something is missing.

Oh, yes.

The finishing touch.

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

I haven't danced in years.

I'd almost forgotten the feeling.

It's foolish, I suppose...

for a creature like me to hope...

that one day he might earn

your affection.

I don't know.

Really?

You think

you could be happy here?

Can anybody be happy

if they aren't free?

My father taught me to dance.

I used to step on his toes a lot.

You must miss him.

Very much.

Would you like to see him?

I'd like to see my father.

Papa!

What are they doing to him?

He's in trouble!

Then you must go to him.

What did you say?

You must go to him.

No time to waste.

No...

you keep it with you.

Then you'll always have a way

to look back on me.

Thank you.

Oh...

Well, Master,

I have had my doubts,

but everything

is moving like clockwork.

True love really does win the day!

I let her go.

You what?

Master, how could you do that?

I had to.

But why?

Because he loves her.

Then why are we not human?

Because she doesn't love him.

And now, it's too late.

But she might still come back.

No.

I set her free.

I'm sorry I couldn't do

the same for all of you.

Now, go.

Our time is almost past.

Come, my love.

I was the one who had it all

I was the master of my fate

I never needed anybody in my life

I learned the truth too late

I'll never shake away the pain

I close my eyes

but she's still there

I let her steal

into my melancholy heart

It's more than I can bear

Now I know

she 'll never leave me

Even as she runs away

She will still torment me

Calm me, hurt me

Move me, come what may

Wasting in my lonely tower

Waiting by an open door

I'll fool myself

she'll walk right in

And be with me for evermore

I rage against the trials of love

I curse the fading of the light

Though she's already flown

So far beyond my reach

She's never out of sight

Now I know

she'll never leave me

Even as she fades from view

She will still inspire me

Be a part of everything I do

Wasting in my lonely tower

Waiting by an open door

I'll fool myself

she'll walk right in

And as the long, long nights begin

I'll think of all that might have been

Waiting here for evermore

This man is weak.

Please!

He needs a hospital...

not an asylum!

Have you ever seen the inside

of a mad house, Maurice?

You wouldn't last a week.

Just give me your daughter's hand,

and I'll set you free.

Never.

Take him away!

Stop!

Papa.

Oh, Belle.

I thought I'd lost you.

Let him out! He's hurt.

We can't do that, miss.

But we'll take

very good care of him.

My father's not crazy.

Gaston, tell him!

You know how loyal I am

to your family...

but your father's been making

some unbelievable claims.

It's true, Belle.

He's been raving about a beast...

in a castle!

I've just come from the castle

and there is a beast!

You'd say anything to set him free.

Your word is hardly proof.

You want proof?

Show me the Beast!

There's your proof.

This is sorcery!

Look at this beast!

Look at his fangs!

His claws!

No. Don't be afraid.

He's gentle and kind.

The monster has her under his spell.

If I didn't know better,

I'd say she even cared for him!

He's not a monster, Gaston.

You are!

The Beast wouldn't hurt anyone.

I've heard of the effects

of dark magic...

but I've never before seen it

with my own eyes!

This is a threat

to our very existence!

We can't have her

running off to warn the beast.

Lock her up too.

- No!

- Come here!

Shut up!

You won't get away

with this, Gaston!

Oh, Belle!

Gaston,

with all due respect...

Do you want to be next?

Fetch my horse.

Stand guard!

Don't let them escape.

This creature will curse us all

if we don't stop him.

Well, I say,

we kill the beast!

Kill the beast!

We're not safe until he's dead

He'll come stalking us at night

Set to sacrifice our children

To his monstrous appetite

He'll wreak havoc on our village

If we let him wander free

So it's time to take some action, boys

It's time to follow me

Through the mist, through the wood

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!

Light your torch,

mount your horse

Screw your courage

to the sticking place

We 're counting

on Gaston to lead the way

Call it war, call it threat

You can bet they all will follow

For in times like this

They'll do just as I say

There's a beast running wild

There's no question

But I fear

the wrong monster's released

Sally forth, tally ho

Grab your sword, grab your bow

Praise the Lord, and here we go

Show me the castle.

At least he has finally

learned to love.

A lot of good that does us

if she doesn't love him in return.

No. This is the first time

I've had any real hope she would.

Did you hear that, Mama?

Is it her? Is she coming back?

Could it be?

I told you!

Sacr bleu!

Invaders!

Ruffians!

Well, there you go.

So much for true love.

Man the barricades...

and hold fast!

Move aside!

Hearts ablaze, banners high

We go marching into battle

Unafraid, although

the danger's just increased

Raise the flag, sing the song

Here we come, we're fifty strong

And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong

Let's kill the beast!
