ACT II

#12 – Entr’acte

Scene 1: The Castle

BELLE. Let me see. Don’t do that! Just hold still.

BEAST. OW! That hurts!

BELLE. If you’d hold still, it wouldn’t hurt so much.

BEAST. If you hadn’t run away, those wolves wouldn’t have attacked me, and 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. And you should learn to control your temper!…Now hold still, this may sting a little…By the way, thank you for saving my life.

BEAST. You’re welcome.

MRS. POTTS. Well that’s more like it! I knew they could get along if they tried.

LUMIERE. So the ice is broken at last!

COGSWORTH. And not a moment too soon either. The Rose is losing petals at an alarming rate!

MRS. POTTS. Not to mention the fact that I can hardly bend over at all any more.

LUMIERE. Clearly, it is time for us to give them a little push.

MRS. POTTS. I have just the thing!…How about we warm you two up with a nice bowl of souP?

LUMIERE / COGSWORTH. Soup?

MRS. POTTS. Trust me!

##13 – Something There

BELLE.THERE’S SOMETHING SWEET

1

AND ALMOST KINDBUT HE WAS MEANAND HE WAS COARSE AND UNREFINEDBUT NOW HE’S DEARAND SO UNSUREI WONDER WHY I DIDN’T SEE IT THERE BEFORE.

CHIP. Cheers!

MRS. POTTS. Come along, dearie. Let’s get you cleaned up.

BEAST.SHE GLANCED THIS WAY, I THOUGHT I SAWAND WHEN WE TOUCHED SHE DIDN’T SHUDDER AT MY PAWNO IT CAN’T BE…I’LL JUST IGNOREBUT THEN SHE NEVER LOOKED AT ME THAT WAY BEFORE.

BEAST. When she smiles at me…I get all choked up. My heart starts pounding and I can’t breathe!

COGSWORTH. Good!

BEAST. That’s good?

LUMIERE. Excellent!

BEAST. I’ve never felt this way about anyone. I want to give her something…but what?

COGSWORTH. Well, there’s the usual things: flowers, chocolates, promises you don’t intend to keep.

LUMIERE. No, no. It has to be something special. Something that sparks her interest…ah!

COGSWORTH. Look who’s back!

LUMIERE. Say something about the dress.

BEAST. It’s pink.

LUMIERE. A compliment!

BEAST. Oh. What a…nice dress.

BELLE. Thank you!

2

BEAST. Uh…Belle…I uh…have something to show you. But first you have to close your eyes. It’s a surprise!

BELLE. Can I open them?

BEAST. All right…now!

BELLE. I can’t believe it! I’ve never seen so many books in my whole life!

BEAST. You like it?

BELLE. It’s wonderful!

BEAST. Then it’s yours!

BELLE.NEW AND A BIT ALARMINGWHO’D HAVE EVER THOUGHT THAT THIS COULD BETRUE THAT HE’S NO PRINCE CHARMINGBUT THERE’S SOMETHING IN HIMTHAT I SIMPLY DIDN’T SEE

BELLE. This is one of my favorites. King Arthur. Have you read it?

BEAST. No.

BELLE. Then you don’t know what you’re missing. I’d love to read it again. Wait! You can read it first.

BEAST. That’s all right.

BELLE. No, really…you read it.

BEAST. No…you.

BEAST. No! I can’t.

BELLE. You never learned to read?

BEAST. Only a little and long ago.

BELLE. Well, it just so happens, this is the perfect book to read aloud. Come here, sit by me.

MRS. POTTS. I hope so.

CHIP. When will I know?

MRS. POTTS. Soon…if it’s to be…it will be very soon now. Come along son.

4

BELLE. “Then, for the third time, Arthur drew forth the sword…”

BEAST. So that must mean that he’s the king!

BELLE. Wait and see!

BEAST. I never knew books could do that,

BELLE. Do what?

BEAST. Take me away from this place and make me forget…for a little while.

BELLE. Forget?

BEAST. Who I…what I am.

BELLE. We have something in common, you know.

BEAST. What?

BELLE. In the town where I come from, the people think I’m odd.

BEAST. You?

BELLE. So I know how it feels to be…different. And I know how hard that can be.

MRS. POTTS. They’re still in there?

LUMIERE. Yes, and so far he has been a perfect gentleman.

CHIP. Mama, I have a funny feeling inside. I don’t know what it is, but it makes me feel kind of bubbly.

MRS. POTTS. It’s hope, son. I’ve been feeling it too.

#14 – Human Again

LUMIERE. Ah, oui…my little friend, the day we have waited for may be at hand!

COGSWORTH. You must.

BEAST. How will I know when the moment is right?

LUMIERE. You will know because you will feel it here. And you must speak from the heart.

BEAST. I must speak from the…I can’t!

COGSWORTH / LUMIERE. You must!

LUMIERE. What are you afraid of?

BEAST. Nothing!

LUMIERE. Master…

BEAST. I’m afraid she might…

BEAST. Thank you for asking me to dinner.

BELLE. Dinner was wonderful.

BEAST. Belle, I…

BELLE. Yes?

BEAST. Belle, are you happy here?

BELLE. Oh, yes…everyone’s so kind. Mrs. Potts, Lumiere…

BEAST. With me?

BELLE. Yes.

BEAST. I must speak from…

LUMIERE / COGSWORTH. …THE HEART!

BEAST. Is something wrong?

BELLE. I was just thinking about my father. I miss him so much. I wish I could see him again.

BEAST. There is a way. This Mirror will show you anything…anything you wish to see.

BELLE. I’d like to see my father please. Papa? Oh, no…Papa! Something’s wrong! He’s in the woods. I think he’s lost. I should– I should–

BEAST. Go to him.

BELLE. But what about–

BEAST. You’re not my prisoner anymore. You haven’t been for a long time. Take the mirror with you. So you’ll always have a way to look back…and remember me.

BELLE. I could never forget you.

13

BEAST. Belle, I…

BELLE. Yes?

BEAST. Go. Go. Go!… I’ll never see her again.

COGSWORTH. Well, Sire, I must say…everything is going just swimmingly. I knre you had it in you.

BEAST. I let her.

COGSWORTH. You what?

LUMIERE. How could you do that?

BEAST. I had to.

COGSWORTH. But why?

MRS. POTTS. After all this time, he’s finally learned to love.

LUMIERE. That’s it then! That should break the spell!

MRS. POTTS. It’s not enough. She has to love him in return.

COGSWORTH. And now it’s too late.

Scene 4: The Town

BELLE. We’re finally home. Rest here.

MAURICE. I don’t know what happened. The last thing I remember I was falling…

BELLE. You were in the woods, Papa. I thought I’d never find you.

MAURICE. But the Beast? How did you escape?

BELLE. I didn’t escape. He let me go.

MAURICE. He let you go? That terrible beast?

BELLE. He’s not terrible. In the beginning I was so frightened. I thought it was the end of everything. But somehow…things changed.

MAURICE. How?

14

BELLE. I don’t know, but I see him differently now.

D’ARQUE. Good afternoon.

BELLE. Monsieur d’Arque!

D’ARQUE. I’ve come to collect your father.

BELLE. What?

D’ARQUE. Don’t worry. We’ll take good care of him.

BELLE. My father’s not crazy!

LEFOU. He was raving like a lunatic. We all heard him. Didn’t we?

GASTON. Poor Belle. It’s a shame about your father.

BELLE. Gaston, you know he’s not crazy.

GASTON. I might be able to clear up this little misunderstanding if…

BELLE. If what?

GASTON. If you’ll marry me!

BELLE. What?!

GASTON. One little word, Belle…that’s all it takes…

BELLE. Never!

GASTON. Have it your way! Take the old man!

MAURICE. Let go of me! Belle!

BELLE. Wait! I can prove my father’s not crazy! Show me the Beast!

#17 – The Mob Song

MAURICE. That’s him! That’s him!

FEMALE VILLAGER. Is he dangerous?

BELLE. Oh no, he’d never hurt anyone. I know he looks frightful…but he’s really kind and gentle. He’s my friend.

15

GASTON. If I didn’t know better, I’d say you have feelings for this monster.

BELLE. He’s not the monster, Gaston! You are!

GASTON. She’s as crazy as the old man! She says this beast is her friend. Well, I’ve hunted wild beasts before and I’ve seen what they can do. The beast will make off with your children. He’ll come after them in the night!

BELLE. He would never do that!

GASTON. Forget the old man! I say we kill the Beast!

LEFOU. Where did everybody go?

GASTON. Ha! You’re even uglier in the flesh! Get up! What’s the matter Beast? Too kind and gentle to fight back? You were in love with her, weren’t you, Beast? Oh, that’s a good one! Did you really think a girl like that would want a thing like you? What a fool! She despises you Beast! And she sent me here to destroy you!

GASTON. It’s over Beast! Belle’s mine!

18

BELLE. No!!

GASTON. Help me! Help me! I’m begging you!

BEAST. Get out. Belle…
