Beauty IS a Beast Scene 6 Flashcards
NICK: I can’t believe it.
I’ve never enjoyed myself that much before. And I’ve never been this tired.
NICK: You were incredible. It would have taken us a week to do that much cleaning. You have paid us back and more.
Finally, a compliment.
NICK: This was definitely a day of firsts for you.
You can say that again. (Moan)
NICK: What’s wrong?
My feet. They hurt so badly.
NICK: It’s those shoes. They look too small for you.
Maybe so.
NICK: Can I take them off for you?
No, that’s ok. I’m fine.
NICK: No, really. I’ll rub them for you.
Oooh, a foot rub. How I miss those.
NICK: May I?
No.
NICK: Please.
Oh, I’m too tired to argue. I have to warn you.
NICK: (Removes her shoes. He stares, stunned) The birthmark.
Isn’t it ugly?
NICK: Ah, aah,
Nick, what’s wrong?
NICK: You’re the princess!
I’ve been trying to tell you that.
NICK: (Falls on his knees) Oh, your highness. I’m so sorry.
Nick, please don’t grovel. That’s why I liked you. You didn’t feel like you had to treat me that way. I’m just a normal peasant girl now.
NICK: But why?
My stupid fairy godmothers did this to me. Correction: My smart fairy godmothers. They made me like cleaning.
(Yells out)
It worked, fairy godmothers. It worked! I’m happy not being a beauty.
(Looks at NICK)
I never thought I could live without my beauty, but I guess I can.
NICK: Who said you weren’t beautiful?
I look dreadful.
NICK: I don’t think you look so bad.
Really?
NICK: Go back to bed.
(KIDS exit)
Sorry about that.
That’s okay.
NICK: So what do we do now?
I don’t know.
NICK: Should I go get the Scribe? We can show him your birthmark and then you can go home.
And you can get your hundred gold pieces for bringing me back home.
NICK: How did you know about that?
Janie told me.
NICK: I don’t want any reward.
You’re crazy not to take it.
NICK: I should be paying them a hundred pieces of gold for letting me spend time with you.
But I’ve been terrible to you and your family.
NICK: You may have upset me at times. But there’s something about you. The way you are that makes me never want to let you go. It’s not your beauty, it’s you.
Oh, Nick. (Hug him)
NICK: Your fairy godmother took the beauty on the outside and put it on the inside.
Thank you.
FAIRY: You called?
There you are. I ought to… Give you a big hug.
FAIRY: Well, this is certainly a change.
I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done.
NICK: I suppose you’re going to change her back now.
FAIRY: I can and I will.
No, wait! I just got used to being this way.
NICK: But don’t you want to be a princess?
But, if I’m a princess, I can’t be with you.
NICK: You’d give all that up for me.
PRINCESS: You and your family were so good to me. You’re the first one to care for me for who I am, not what I look like. And I feel so good. Before I just felt bad all the time.
FAIRY: Oh, what to do, what to do. Fairy godmother rules say I must change you back since you learned your lesson.
Can’t you break them, just this once?
NICK: But what about your family, Beauty. They’re worried about you. If you don’t go back,
PRINCESS: Oh, my goodness. I forgot about them. How awful of me.
FAIRY: Nobody’s perfect.
PRINCESS: Especially not me.
FAIRY: What will it be, Beauty?
PRINCESS: Why can’t I have both?
FAIRY: Both?
PRINCESS: Both Nick and my family.
NICK: Beauty?
PRINCESS: Yes, Nick.
NICK: You must go home.
PRINCESS: But, Nick!
NICK: Your family needs you. I know what it’s like to lose someone you love. It leaves an emptiness in your life that you can never fill. When my parents died,
PRINCESS: If you think that’s what’s best!
NICK: I do.
PRINCESS: But I don’t want to become so mean and terrible again.
FAIRY: You can be any way you want to be now. I promise.
PRINCESS: Then I better go.
NICK: I’ll miss you, Beauty.
PRINCESS: I’ll miss you too.
FAIRY: Ready?
PRINCESS: Ready.
FAIRY: Here we go!
ZAP! And lights go black
PRINCESS: It’s so dark.
FAIRY: Something’s wrong?
PRINCESS: Are we home yet?
JANIE: It’s me, Nick. I’ve brought someone.
PRINCESS: Sister! Mother!
HONOR: What happened to you?
PRINCESS: Something wonderful.
QUEEN: I don’t understand.
PRINCESS: I haven’t been the nicest person in the world and my fairy godmother here decided to turn me inside out.
HONOR: I’m so glad your safe.
PRINCESS: I don’t know what would have happened to me if it hadn’t been for Nick.
KING: That’s okay. She seems like a sweet girl.
PRINCESS: Thank you all for taking care of me. You’ve all been so wonderful.
NICK: She must go. She’s a princess.
PRINCESS: But, I can’t just go back to the way I was. I like my new life
KING: What are you saying? You don’t want to come home?
PRINCESS: I just don’t want to be who I was before. I can never be as good as Honor.
HONOR: What do you mean?
PRINCESS: I’m still not as beautiful as you are, sister. I don’t think I ever can be.
HONOR: But you are the most beautiful woman in the kingdom.
PRINCESS: I used to think so, but not anymore. Now I think you’ve always been the most beautiful, we just couldn’t see it.
PETER: Don’t change, Beauty.
PRINCESS: I don’t think I will.
KING: I suppose we could do that.
PRINCESS: Oh, please, mother.
KING: Then who will lead my kingdom?
PRINCESS: Perhaps Nick would be willing.
NICK: Me?
PRINCESS: You could make him a prince, father.
NICK: Me?
PRINCESS: And then we could get married.
KING: This is certainly one of the most unusual things that has ever happened in my kingdom.
PRINCESS: You can say that again.
NICK: You sure this is what you want to do, Beauty.
PRINCESS: I’ve never been more sure of anything in my life.
