Control Your Temper

Beast: (roaring) "That hurts!!"
Belle: "If you'd hold still it wouldn't hurt as much!"
Beast: "If you hadn't run away, this wouldn't have happened."
Belle: "If you hadn't frightened me I wouldn't have run away."
Beast: "Well you shouldn't have been in the west wing..."
Belle: "Well you should learn to control your temper!"

Beasts will be beasts. Belle is certainly a brave one - the Beast's roaring doesn't seem to phase her at all. He, understandably, isn't quite sure what to make of her kindness...

Win the Girl's Affections

Beast: (pounding on Belle's door) "I thought I told you to come down to dinner!"
Belle: "I'm not hungry!"
Beast: "You'll come out, or I'll...I'll...I'll break down the door!"
Lumiere: "Master, I could be wrong, but that might not be the best way to win the girl's affections..."

Okay Beast, listen to wise Lumiere. Tone it down a little if you want to win Belle's heart. She's your prisoner, after all, so she's not entirely happy to be in the castle in the first place. Tread lightly.

A Little More Off the Top

Lumiere: (helping Beast prep for dinner with Belle) "Voila! Oh, you look so...so..."
Beast: "Stupid."
Lumiere: "Not quite the word I was looking for, but perhaps a - little more off the top."
Cogsworth: "Your lady awaits."

The Beast is doing everything he possibly can to look attractive for Belle at the big dinner. Bows, however, aren't a great look for him...

Imagine That

Gaston: "This is the day your dreams come true."
Belle: "What do you know about my dreams, Gaston?"
Gaston: "Plenty! Here, picture this: A rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire, and my little wife massaging my feet, while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs. We'll have six or seven."
Belle: "Dogs?"
Gaston: "No, Belle! Strapping boys, like me!"
Belle: "Imagine that."

Gaston is definitely not the kind of man Belle sees herself with - but somehow, Gaston manages to ignore the fact that she despises him. Narcissistic jerk!

Presenting: Dinner

Lumiere: "Ma chère mademoiselle. It is with deepest pride and greatest pleasure that we welcome you tonight. And now, we invite to relax, let us pull up a chair, as the dining room proudly presents... your dinner!"

Lumiere's introduction, as Belle comes down for dinner, sets up one of the best scenes in 'Beauty and the Beast' - as all the enchanted staff serenade her with "Be Our Guest!"

Once Upon a Time

Narrator: "Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. But then, one winter's night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within..."

This is the opening quote from 'Beauty And the Beast,' setting up the story. Basically, Beast is doomed to remain in his hideous form unless he can find a way to truly love someone, and have someone love him back.

Never Looked at Me That Way

Beast: (sings) "She glanced this way, I thought I saw... And when we touched, she didn't shudder at my paw. No - it can't be! I'll just ignore... But then, she's never looked at me that way before."

Another wonderful song from 'Beauty and the Beast': "Something There." Belle is beginning to realize that beauty really is more than skin deep.

You Came Back

Beast: "You...You came back."
Belle: "Of course I came back! I couldn't let them...Oh, this is all my fault! If only I'd gotten here sooner!"
Beast: "Maybe it's better - it's better this way."
Belle: "Don't talk like that. You'll be all right. We're together now. Everything's going to be fine, you'll see!"
Beast: "At..at least I got to see you...one last time."

*snif* Of course Belle came back. She loves him! Cue the waterworks, though. If you haven't seen 'Beauty and the Beast,' I'll avoid the spoilers. But bring Kleenex. Lots of it.

Flowers, Chocolates and Promises

Beast: "I want to do something for her - but what?"
Cogsworth: "Well, there's the usual things: flowers... chocolates -- promises you don't intend to keep..."

A great quote here from the ever-so-wise Cogsworth the Clock.

He's No Monster

Gaston: "If I didn't know better, I'd think you had feelings for this monster."
Belle: "He's no monster, Gaston, you are!"

Tell him, Belle! Gaston is such a complete tool. He's so stuck on himself and his pretty face (and ugly personality) that he can't even tell that Belle can't stand him.
