Bella Flashcards
Rewrite his ending…BELLA COTTAGE TRANSITION
Finally, it’s just you and me, old friend…
WORM TAKES BOOK
Hey! Give that back!
Woof! (running away with book)
You naughty dog! Give me back my book. Please may I have my book!
Woof! (Guessing which hand game)
Think you’re pretty clever don’t you!
Woof! (bull fight)
I’m not playing anymore
whimper, whimper
Well, since you put it that way… Toro!
~LICK~
Oh, ick! You naughty dog! Where did you come from? Worm… Worm? What a strange name!
EEEEK!
Nicolette!
What is? Get it away! Get it away!
He only wants to be your friend.
Yip, yip, yip
It’s all right. She didn’t mean it
Bella, get rid of it. Who knows where it’s been!
Oh, Nicolette!
What if one of the neighbors sees you associating with such riff-raff
Nicolette, you worry too much about what people think
How rude! bella, get rid of that thing immediately!
Nicolette, give him a chance! I know he has a good heart.
How dare you!
What is it?
That animal is making fun of me! ~woof~
Nicolette, be nice!
WAHHHHHH
Don’t cry Nicolette. I’m sure he’ll bring it right back.
Oh, Bella! You are so uncomplicated, so simple. Sometimes I wish I could be more like you… The I come to my sense, and all those ugly thoughts fly away.
See, that’s better.
I don’t understand why you spend so much time with those dusty old books anyway. How boring!
But Nicolette, books can teach you all sorts of things! Take you places you’ve never dreamed of!
Is that so?
Were else can you turn the page, take a deep breath and whoosh! You’re in a faraway jungle, swinging from tree to tree with ferocious tigers and playful monkeys and still be home in time for supper?
Well- I
Better yet, turn the next page and now you’re in a spooky castle, tall and grand, with hidden rooms and secret staircases! But be careful it looks like there’s something right behind you!
Where!?
See Nicolette, you can go on the most exciting journey of all without ever leaving your own home! All it takes is a little imagination, and a good book!
Woof! Woof! (entering)
Worm! You came back! See, I told you.
Oh great.
You’re going to love this one! It’s all about a- Odd, this isn’t my book
What? Let me see that! Ewwwww! Look at my hands! Ink! The ink is still wet in this book!
It’s like the story was just being written…
Told you so! Never trust a book! Bella, seriously, it’s time to start paying attention to what really matters.
Making a future for myself?
No! Finding yourself the man of your dreams! Remember what I always taught you… “Grace and charm, grace and charm
“A Prince will take you by the arm”
BLOWS RASPBERRY
Don’t worry, Worm! Her bark is worse than her bite.
Woof! Woof! (laughing at Nicolette)
Can you believe that? “Grace and charm! Grace and charm! A prince will take you by the arm.” I just don’t understand. Why does it always have to be the damsel in distress? Maybe for once I could help him!
MISS PRINCE (I’m singing)
I wish I could be like the heroes in my books! I read about these faraway places, and I can almost feel the wind on my face, the excitement in my heart… But then, I turn the page and - here I am, in this same little town. Maybe, just maybe, one day my story will be a little more exciting that I ever imagined!
WORM HANDS ME BOOK
Worm! Look, a rose! Where did it come from?
Hello?
Papa, you’re home!
Down boy, that’s a good boy!
Worm! Shame on you! Sit!
Energetic creature. Where did he come from?
I don’t know. He just showed up out of thin air. Can I keep him Papa, please?
We’ll see! So, what have you girls been up to all day?
Oh Papa, I’ve been reading the most amazing book!
Is that so? Now, where is your sister?
Inside, I’ll get her…
Woof! (he runs to get Nicolette)
Worm, come back!
Get that thing away from me!
Sorry, Nicolette!
Enough already! Spill it!
Yes Papa, what is it?
I could be asked to make dozens of them! Maybe even thousands!
How exciting!
Which will mean more business for your Papa! Being a milliner isn’t always the most rewarding occupation…
Things will get better Papa, I’m sure of it.
Say what? What’s a Milliner?
A hat maker!
Let me get this straight. Hats… Milliner… No millionaire…
When can we see the hat Papa?
Two shakes of a dog’s tail! Woof woof!
This is so exciting! Don’t you think so Nicolette?
Ready or not!
Ready!
Not!
Drum roll please. Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, I present my Papa the Milliner!
Tah-Dah! Well what do you think?
I’ve never seen anything so magnificent!
Needs more sparkle… It’s beautiful Papa!
What happens now?
Well, I still have to add a few finishing touches, and then I was instructed to take this prototype to the neighboring kingdom tonight.
Tonight? But it’s far!
and I’m hungry…
And it’s getting late!
And I’m hungry…
And it’s getting cold!
I appreciate your concerns Bella, but I’m afraid it’s the only hope we have right now.
But to get there, you’ll have to pass through the woods! What if something happens? Who will protect you?
Of course, and Bella, what can I bring you?
Just yourself, back safe and sound. Papa, take this rose for good luck.
Papa, not the hair! Watch the hair! Tah, tah!
Take good care of him Worm!
Keep yourself busy until my return. Goodbye my dear.
Oh please Father, stay on the path. And Worm, get him home safely! Everything is happening so fast. And this mysterious book….maybe it’s a magical book!
“and thus the poor father went on his journey but soon lost his way in the woods. Seeking shelter for the night he came across
“a seemingly abandoned castle. It is there he met the horrid beast! In his anger he threw the father into the dungeon, forever! Papa! Pap is in this book? Oh no! I must go to him at once!
And how long will it be till he scares this one away?
(OFFSTAGE) Hello! Is anyone there?
Of course! Good evening, Miss-
Ahh! Who are you… I mean, what are you?
Louie Loui the 14th. Perhaps you would care to see some of my etchings. Ouch!
This is all very strange. All I want is my father and I’ll be on my way.
The girl whose come to end the curse?
The only thing I know is that my father has been kidnapped. ~ROAR~ What was that?
So, you are finally here!
Where is my Papa?
Armory, go fetch him! Quickly!
Stay back! Stay away from me!
Bella!
Papa, did they hurt you?
Enough of your babbling!
Papa! What are you going to do with him?
He is my prisoner. He trespassed on my property! He must pay!
But can’t you see he’s old. He could get sick
Well?
I will stay.
No Bella!
But Papa, it’s the only way!
You realize I will never release you. That you are mine forever.
Anything to save my Papa!
Bella Wait!
Papa! Papa! You didn’t even let me say goodbye?
Dinner tonight.
No…
I command it.
I said no!
And unfortunately, time is running out!
Please, I’d rather stay in my room.
and I am here to protect you!
Thank you but I was quite happy with the family I had.
Begging your pardon Miss, but your father has been transported safely home.
He’ll come back for me. I know he will!
You see, the castle and all who abide in it are enchanted
Enchanted?
As long as we stay here, we are invisible to the outside world. Unless the Master wills it otherwise.
What do you mean?
It’s all part of the curse!
Curse? What Curse?
A subject for another time my dear…
But what will I do without my Papa?
Try to look on the bright side, mon ami…
How can I?
What is the meaning of this? It’s time for supper.
I said no… Thank you
When I say you eat, you eat
I’d rather not!
Candy!
I don’t accept gifts from strangers.
Flowers!
I told you, I don’t accept…roses…roses?
Is there anything wrong, my lady?
The roses…
If you can’t say thank you, the least you could do is smile!
And why on earth would I want to do that?
Because I gave you a gift
I am trying to be polite. Something you might want to try…
Enough of this foolishness. It is time to eat
No!
If you’ll be needing anything Miss… Just roar… I mean howl…. I mean holler!
I have to get out of here. I have to get back home!
The girl has a stronger will than I had imagined. This could be very dangerous for me. I must dispose of her while I still have the chance!
I wish it wasn’t so cloudy tonight. If I could find the north star I could at least find my bearings
~FIRST WOLF HOWL~
Who’s there? Maybe I should go the other way.
~RYAN WOLF ENTERS~
I think I’ll take this other path…
~CAM WOLF ENTERS~
I’m lost… I mean no harm.
~MEL WOLF ENTERS~
Please… I’m just trying to find my way home!
~WOLVES CIRCLE~
Stay back! I don’t want any trouble! I’m warning you, come any closer and I’ll have to defend myself!
~CAM WOLF LIFTS~
Help!
~BEAST HAS A WOLF ON HIM~
Leave him alone!
~BEAST CRUMBLES IN PAIN~
Beast! Are you all right? You’re hurt! You’re bleeding! How can I help you if you are going to be difficult? Give me your arm… please.
Why did you run away?
Why would I want to stay?
But you have to … you have to stay.
Can you blame me for wanting to leave, the way you have been treating me?
Bella, you have to stay! … Please
I don’t understand… You’re hurt. We have to get you home
Thank you
No, thank you… for saving my life.
You’re welcome
Let’s go…home
~Beast eats on the floor~
Excuse me, but is this the proper etiquette for eating off the floor?
Whatever you say, Master!
Good morning everyone!
Bella, I have a secret! Come quick! You’re “it”!
No fair Louie!
Excuse me Bella, but I have something for you.
Really? What a beautiful music box!
Yes, it is one of the finest in the world.
What a pretty tune. It’s a shame to let it go to waste.
What do you mean?
I think we should dance!
No, no… that’s not a very good idea
But wouldn’t it be fun to dance…
When I say no I mean no! Is that clear?
Very clear
~DANCE INTO THE BEAST~
Now… You’re “it”!
My Lady
My Lord
Doggie! Treat!
It’s such a lovely night! Oh look! Roses! They’re my favorite, so beautiful!
Not as beautiful as you!
Thank you, kind sir. When I look at a rose, I’ll always be reminded of you.
Thank you, kind maiden. Bella, are you happy here?
Oh yes… although I do miss my family very much.
I’m sorry about that. I was very selfish back then……You made me realize that I don’t have to be alone… that I can be kind.
You’ve always had goodness inside you, and the ability to change. I’m just glad I helped you see it.
May I give you something
What is it? A key?
To the front door. You are free to go whenever you wish.
I don’t understand
When you love someone, you can’t keep them caged like a wild animal. I release you
I don’t know what to say…
I love you, Bella. Please say you love me too…~THUNDER~
Oh my!
Young woman you must come quickly
Who are you?
I am a friend! I’ve come to tell you that your father is very sick.
Papa?
You don’t have much time, Bella!
Is this some kind of trick?
See for yourself. Go on, read!
My book! But how did you -
It’s all right there, in black and white! you must leave at once!
But I must tell the Beast…
I will do that for you. You have the key to the front door, use it while you can
Thank you, I must go to my father.
The book will transport you back to your home immediately
I’ll be back as soon as I can
Worm! We must find Bella! There are only a few more hours left!
(ENTERING) Papa! Papa! I’m home!
Bella!
How are you feeling Papa?
Much better now that you’re here.
I heard that you were ill, so I made sure to get home right away!
Woof! (Worm and Armory get Bella back)
What are you doing here?
You must come back to the castle quickly! We need you!
But Armory…
If you do not return by midnight tonight, we are all doomed.
I don’t understand what’s happening…
The book! It will explain everything! Please Bella, read!
Oh no! I have to get back to the castle at once!
That will be enough of that!
Elvirus!
Oh, I see you’ve been reading all about me! What a shame.
I am going back to him.
I do not intend to lose this wager. Give the book to me now!
Never!
The clock! It’s midnight! I’ve won!
No you haven’t!
What is the meaning of this?! You should be frozen!
Your power doesn’t affect me anymore!
How can this be?
You’ve forgotten the most important part of your game…
Which is?
Love! I love him!
WHAT??! Love? That is impossible
And I know that he loves me!
But he’s hideous, he’s an animal! You don’t love him… you just pity him!
I love him!
I could make you a Prince! A man of your dreams!
I love him with all my heart
NO
and nothing you can do will ever stop me from loving him!
Stop speaking of love It is destroying me!
I love him!
Destroying me.. NO NOOOOO
Please, take me to the Beast
~I SEE THE DYING BEAST~
Beast!
You came back!
I said I would. Elvirus has been destroyed! Beast. What is it?
Bella, my time has finally run out… I’m afraid my story might end here.
No, please don’t leave me!
~we sing AND AT LAST I FOUND THE LOVE IN ~
I will always love you
~SEE PRINCE~
Beast, is it you? A rose! It is you!
