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)
