Beast : Who are you? What are you doing here?
Maurice : I-I-I was lost in the woods, and...
Beast : You are not welcome here!
Maurice : I-I-I'm sorry.
Beast : What're you staring at?
Maurice : N-Nothing.
Beast : So, you've come to stare at the beast, have you?
Maurice : Please, I meant no harm! I-I just need a place to stay.
Beast : I'll give you a place to stay.
Maurice : No, no, please! No! No!
[the Beast slams the door thunderously]
-
Belle : I-Is anyone here?
Maurice : Belle?
Belle : Papa!
[Grabs torch and kneels down to Maurice]
Maurice : H-H-How did you find me?
Belle : Oh, your hands are like ice. We have to get you out of here.
[Maurice coughs]
Maurice : Belle, I want you to leave this place.
Belle : Who's done this to you?
Maurice : No time to explain. You must go. Now!
Belle : I won't leave you.
Beast : [the Beast Enters the room and Belle drops her torch in the puddle] What are you doing here?
Maurice : Run, Belle!
Belle : [in the darkness] Who's there? Who are you?
Beast : The master of this castle.
Belle : I've come for my father. Please let him out. Can't you see he's sick?
Beast : [Yelling] Then he shouldn't have trespassed here!
Belle : But he could die. Please, I'll do anything.
Beast : There's nothing you can do. He's my prisoner.
Belle : [to herself] Oh, there must be some way I can-- Wait! Take me instead.
Beast : You? You would take his place?
Maurice : Belle, no! You don't know what you're doing!
Belle : [to the Beast] If I did, would you let him go?
Beast : Yes, but you must promise to stay here forever.
Belle : Come into the light.
[the Beast steps in the castle light to reveal himself; Belle gasps and turns away]
Maurice : No, Belle! I won't let you do this!
[Belle looks at him, then rises]
Belle : You have my word.
Beast : Done!
[Belle kneels to the floor, sobbing]
Maurice : No Belle, listen to me. I'm old, I've lived my life.
[the Beast grabs Maurice and drags him off]
Belle : Wait!
Maurice : Belle!
Belle : Wait!

Belle : Papa?
[as she enters the cellar door full of smoke and Maurice is stuck in the barrel breaking out]
Maurice : How on earth did that stupid, dog--gone it!
[Pulls out the barrel rim but his underwear shows and quickly pulls his pants back up]
Belle : Are you alright, Papa?
Maurice : I'm, I'm about ready to give up on this hunk of junk.
[Kicks the machine]
Belle : You always say that!
Belle : I mean it this time: I'll never get this boneheaded contraption to work!
Maurice : Yes you will, and you'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow.
[Maurice frowns]
Belle : And become a world famous inventor.
Maurice : [gently] You really believe that?
Belle : I always have.
Maurice : [relents as he returns to his work on the machine] Well, what are we waiting for? I'll have this thing fixed in no time! Hand me that dog legged clincher there.
Maurice : So, did you have a good time in town today?
Belle : I got a new book. Papa, do you think I'm odd?
Maurice : [Maurice comes out from under his machine] My daughter? Odd? Huh! Where would you get an idea like that?
Belle : Oh, I don't know. It's just that I'm not sure I'd fit in here. There's no one I can really talk to.
Maurice : What about that Gaston? He's a handsome fellow.
Belle : He's handsome alright, and rude, and conceited and... Papa, he's not for me.
Maurice : Well, don't you worry, 'cause this new invention's gonna be the start of a new life for us. I think that's done it. Now, let's give it a try.
[Maurice pulls the machine's lever and the axe automatically chops a log and throws it to the other side of the room]
Maurice : It works!
Belle : It does?
[another log flies to the other side of the room]
Belle : It does!
Belle : You did it! You really did it!
Maurice : Hitch up Philippe, girl! I'm off to the fair!
[Then a log hits Maurice and knocks him dizzy. The next scene shows Belle waving goodbye while Maurice rides his cart with Phillippe]
Belle : Goodbye Papa! Good luck!
Maurice : Goodbye Belle! An, and take care while I'm gone!

Maurice : [out in the cold snowy night] Will no one help me?
-
Maurice : If no one will help me, then I'll go back alone. Is that everything? I don't care what it takes. I'll find that castle somehow and- I'll get her out of there.
