Belle Act II Flashcards
(START OF ACT II)
Don’t do that! Just hold still.
Ow 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!
And you should learn how to control your temper! Now hold still, this may sting a little. By the way, thank you for saving my life.
What a… nice dress.
Thank you!
But first you have to close your eyes… it’s a surprise.
Can I open them?
Alright… now!
I can’t believe it! I’ve never seen so many books in my entire life!
You like it?
It’s wonderful!
Then it’s yours!
“NEW AND A BIT ALARMING…” This is one of my favourites. King Arthur. Have you read it?
“Have you read it?” BEAST: No
Then you don’t know what you’re missing. I’d love to read it again. Wait! You can read it first.
“Read it first… BEAST: That’s alright.
No really, you read it!
No… you.
No… you.
No! I can’t.
You never learned to read?
Only a little. And long ago.
Well it just so happens that this is the perfect book to read aloud.
Soon. If it’s to be, it will be very soon now. Come along, son.
Knowing not that this was the legendary sword called Excalibur, Arthur tried to pull it from the stone. He tried once, to no avail. He tried a second time, but still he could not pull it out. Then, for the third time, Arthur drew forth the sword—
That must mean he’s the king!
Wait and see.
I never knew books could do that.
Do what?
Take me away from this place and make me forget a little.
Forget?
Who… what I am.
You and I have something in common, you know.
“In common… you know.” BEAST: What?
In the town where I come from, people think I’m odd.
“…think I’m odd.” BEAST: You?
So I know how it feels to be different. And I know how lonely that can be.
For the third time, Arthur drew forth the sword. And there arose from the people a great shout, “Arthur is king!”
“AND THROW THEM AWAY…”
When Guinevere heard that Arthur was slain. she stole away to a convent. And no one could ever make her smile again. That’s the end.
What a beautiful story.
I knew you’d like it. I’d like to ask you for something
“to ask you for something.” BEAST: What’s that?
A second chance. Would you have dinner with me tonight?
“NEITHER ONE PREPARED, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST”
Dance with me?
(WALTZ ENDS)
Thank you for asking me to dinner
It was..
wonderful.
(AFTER WALTZ) Belle, I—
Yes?
(BEAST) Belle, are you happy here?
Oh yes, everyone’s so kind. Lumiere, Mrs. Potts…
With me?
Yes.
I must speak from the heart. Is something wrong?
I was just thinking about my father. I miss him so much. I wish I could see him again.
There is a way. This mirror will show you anything, anything you wish to see.
I’d like to see my father. Papa? Oh no! Papa! Something’s wrong… he’s in the woods. I think he’s lost. I should.. I should..
Go to him.
What?
You should go to him.
But what about?
You’re not my prisoner anymore. You haven’t been for a long time. Take it with you so you’ll always have a way to look back and remember me
I could never forget you.
”..forget you.” BEAST: Belle I—
Yes?
(BELLE AFTER LEAVING CASTLE IN COTTAGE)
Rest here.
The last thing I remember, I was falling—
You were in the woods Papa. I thought I’d never find you—
But the Beast? How did you escape?
I didn’t escape. He let me go.
He let you go? That terrible—
He’s not terrible. In the beginning I was so frightened. I thought it was the end of everything. But somehow, things changed.
(AFTER LEAVING CASTLE) MAURICE: How?
I don’t know, but I see him differently now. It’s funny… when I look around I see the whole world differently.
(IN COTTAGE AFTER LEAVING CASTLE) GASTON: Hello Belle.
Hello Gaston. Monsieur D’Arque? What are you doing here?
I’ve come to collect your father.
But my father’s not crazy!
Come along quietly now.
No!
Belle, I might be able to clear up this little misunderstanding if
If what?
If you’ll marry me!
What?
One little word Belle.. that’s all it takes.
Never!
Let go of me! Belle!
Wait! I can prove my father’s not crazy! Show me the Beast!
Is he dangerous?
Oh no, he’d never hurt anyone. I know he looks frightful but he’s really kind and gentle! he’s my friend
If I didn’t know any better I’d say you have feelings for this monster
He’s not the monster Gaston, you are!
The Beast will make off with you children. He’ll come after them in the night.
He would never do that!
“KILL THE BEAST!”
I won’t let you do this!
You can’t stop us.
Oh Papa, this is all my fault! I have to go back and warn him!
Im coming with you!
No!
It’s over Beast, Belle is mine.
No!
Get out… Belle…
I’m sorry.
You came back
Take my hand!
You came back (AFTER GETTING STABBED)
Of course I came back.. I couldn’t let them… If only I’d come sooner…
Maybe it’s better this way
Don’t talk like that! Everything will be fine!
“will be fine!” No..
Shh.. We’re together now, you’ll see.
(BEAST DYING) Belle.. I..
Yes? No… no please! Don’t leave me. Please, I love you.
