"Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind."

"She warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within."

"If he could learn to love another, and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time."

"As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope, for who could ever learn to love a beast?"

"Little town, it's a quiet village. Every day, like the one before."

"There goes the baker with his tray like always, the same old bread and rolls to sell."

"Look there she goes, that girl is strange, no question. Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?"

"Never part of any crowd, 'cause her head's up on some cloud. No denying she's a funny girl, that Belle."

"I need six eggs!"

"That's too expensive!"

"There must be more than this provincial life!"

"Far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells, a prince in disguise!"

"Now it's no wonder that her name means 'beauty.' Her looks have got no parallel."

"But behind that fair façade, I'm afraid she's rather odd. Very different from the rest of us."

"Hello, Belle."

"Bonjour, Gaston."

"How can you read this? There's no pictures!"

"Well, some people use their imagination."

"Belle, it's about time you got your head out of those books and paid attention to more important things. Like me!"

"The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas, and thinking!"

"Gaston, you are positively primeval."

"Why thank you, Belle."

"What do you say you and me take a walk over to the tavern and take a look at my trophies?"

"Maybe some other time."

"What's wrong with her? She's crazy! He's gorgeous!"

"No one's slick as Gaston, no one's quick as Gaston, no one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston!"

"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!"

"No one fights like Gaston, douses lights like Gaston! In a wrestling match, nobody bites like Gaston!"

"Gaston is the best, and the rest is all drips!"

"This is the day your dreams come true."

"What do you know about my dreams, Gaston?"

"Picture this: a rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire, and my little wife massaging my feet, while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs. We'll have six or seven."

"Dogs?"

"No, Belle! Strapping boys, like me!"

"I'm very sorry, Gaston, but I just don't deserve you!"

"I want adventure in the great wide somewhere. I want it more than I can tell."

"And for once it might be grand to have someone understand, I want so much more than they've got planned."

"Who's there? Who are you?"

"The master of this castle."

"Take me instead!"

"You would take his place?"

"If I did, would you let him go?"

"Yes, but you must promise to stay here forever."

"You have my word."

"Ma chère Mademoiselle, it is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. 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, cherie, and we'll provide the rest!"

"After all, miss, this is France! And a dinner here is never second best!"

"I'm afraid she's mental. Madly mental. A loony. A nut!"

"His mustache tickles, Mama!"

"You will join me for dinner. That's not a request!"

"I'm not hungry."

"You'll come out or I'll break down the door!"

"Master, I could be wrong, but that might not be the best way to win the girl's affections."

"Please, attempt to be a gentleman."

"Gently, gently."

"It would give me great pleasure if you would join me for dinner."

"Please."

"No, thank you."

"Why did you come here?"

"I warned you never to come here!"

"Do you realize what you could have done?"

"Please, stop!"

"Get out!"

"That hurts!"

"If you'd hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much!"

"If you hadn't run away, this wouldn't have happened."

"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!"

"By the way, thank you for saving my life."

"You're welcome."

"I want to do something for her, but what?"

"There's the usual things: flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep."

"Impress her with your rapier wit."

"But be gentle."

"Shower her with compliments."

"But be sincere!"

"And above all, you must control your temper!"

"Oh, it's no use. She's so beautiful, and I'm... well, look at me!"

"You must help her to see past all that."

"I don't know how."

"Well, you can start by making yourself more presentable. Straighten up. Try to act like a gentleman."

"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."

"I let her go."

"Yes, yes, splendid. You what?! How could you do that?!"

"Because... I love her."

"If I didn't know better, I'd think you had feelings for this monster."

"He's no monster, Gaston. You are!"

"Kill the Beast!"

"Let me go! Let me go, please! Don't hurt me! I'll do anything! Anything!"

"Get out."

"You came back."

"Of course I came back. I couldn't let them... Oh, this is all my fault!"

"At least I got to see you one last time."
