BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

PROLOGUE

NARRATOR
Once upon a time,
In a far away 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.
And when he dismissed her again,  
the old woman's ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress.

The prince tried to apologize,
but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart.
And as punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast 
and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there.

Ashamed of his monstrous form,
the Beast concealed himself inside his castle,
with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world.

The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose,
which would bloom unitl his twenty-first year.

If he could learn to love another,
and earn their* love in return by the time the last petal fell,
Then the spell would be broken.

If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.

As the years passed, 
he fell into despair and lost all hope, 

For who could ever learn to love .... a beast?


BELLE
                        
BELLE
Little town, it's a quiet village.
Ev'ry day like the one before.
Little town, full of little people,
waking up to say:

TOWNSPERSON 1-5
Bonjour! Bonjour!
Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!

BELLE
There goes the baker with his tray, like always,
the same old bread and rolls to sell.
Ev'ry morning just the same,
since the morning that we came,
to this poor provincial town.

BAKER: Good morning, Belle!
        
BELLE: 'Morning monsieur.
       
BAKER: Where are you off to?
        
BELLE: The bookshop. I just finished the most wonderful
story--about a beanstalk and an ogre and a...
        
BAKER: That's nice. Marie, the baguettes! Hurry up!

WOMEN
Look, there she goes-
That girl is strange, no question.
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?

WOMAN
Never part of any crowd.

BARBER
'Cause her head's upon some cloud.

TOWNSPEOPLE
No denying she's a funny girl that Belle!

MAN 1                  WOMAN1
Bonjour!
                       Good day!
How is your family?

WOMAN2                 MAN2
Bonjour!
                       Good day!
How is your wife?

WOMAN 3                MAN3
I need six eggs!
                       That's too expensive!

BELLE
There must be more than this provincial life!

LIBRARIAN: Ah, Belle!
        
BELLE: Good morning! I've come to return the book I borrowed.
        
LIBRARIAN: Finished already?    
        
BELLE: Oh, I couldn't put it down. Have you got anything new?
       
LIBRARIAN: Not since yesterday!
        
BELLE: That's allright. I'll borrow...this one.
        
LIBRARIAN: That one? But you've read it twice!
        
BELLE: Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights,
magic spells, a prince in disguise!
        
LIBRARIAN: If you like it all that much, it's yours.
        
BELLE: But sir!
        
LIBRARIAN: I insist!
        
BELLE: Well, thank you. Thank you very much!

MEN
Look, there she goes.
The girl is so peculiar!
I wonder if she's feeling well.

WOMEN
With a dreamy, far off look,

MEN
and her nose stuck in a book,

TOWNSPEOPLE
what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle!

BELLE
Now isn't this amazing! 
It's my favorite part because--you'll see!
Here's where she meets Prince Charming.
But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!

CUSTOMER
Now it's no wonder that her name means 'Beauty'.
Her looks have got no parallel.

SHOPKEEPER
But behind that fair facade, I'm afraid she's rather odd.
Very different from the rest of us,

TOWNSPEOPLE
She's nothing like the rest of us.
Yes, different from the rest of us is Belle!

LEFOU: Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston. You're the greatest hunter
in the whole world!
        
GASTON: I know.
        
LEFOU: No beast alive stands a chance against you-- 
and no girl for that matter.
        
GASTON: It's true, Lefou. And I've got my sights set on that one.
        
LEFOU: The inventor's daughter?
        
GASTON: She's the one-- the lucky girl I'm going to marry.
        
LEFOU: But she's...
        
GASTON: The most beautiful girl in town.
        
LEFOU: I know, but...
        
GASTON: That makes her the best! And don't I deserve the best?
        
LEFOU:  Well, of course. I mean you do, but...

GASTON
Right from the moment when I met her, saw her,
I said, "She's gorgeous" and I fell.
Here in town there's only she who is beautiful as me.
So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle!

WOMEN
Look there he goes. 
Isn't he dreamy?
Monsieur Gaston, oh he's so cute!
Be still, my heart, I'm hardly breathing.
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute!

TOWNSPEOPLE     GASTON          TOWNSPEOPLE
Bonjour!
                Pardon!
Good day!       
                                Mais, oui.
You call this bacon?
                                What lovely grapes!
Some cheese,
                                Ten yards!              
one pound!
                'scuse me!
I'll get the knife.
                Please let me through!
This bread,
                                Those fish,
it's stale!
                                they smell!
Madame's mistaken.

BELLE AND TOWNSPEOPLE
There must be more than this provincial life!           

GASTON
Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife!           

TOWNSPEOPLE
Look, there she goes. 
The girl is strange, but special.
A most peculiar mademoiselle!
It's a pity and a sin she doesn't quite fit in.
But she really is a funny girl.
A beauty but a funny girl.
She really is a funny girl, that Belle!



BELLE (REPRISE)
                                
BELLE: Is he gone? Can you imagine, he asked me to marry him! Me, the
wife of that boorish, brainless...

"Madame Gaston"-- can't you just see it?
"Madame Gaston"-- his "little wife".
No sir, not me! I guarantee it.
I want much more than this provincial life!

I want adventure in the great wide somewhere.
I want it more than I can tell.
And for once it might be grand,
to have someone understand.
I want so much more than they've got planned...



GASTON
                                
GASTON:  Who does she think she is?!
That girl has tangled with the wrong man!
No one says "no" to Gaston!
        
LEFOU:   Darn right!
        
GASTON:  Dismissed!  Rejected!  Publically humiliated
Why, it's more than I can bear.
        
LEFOU:   More beer?
       
GASTON:  What for?  Nothing helps.  I'm disgraced.
        
LEFOU:   Who you?  Never!  Gaston, you've got to pull 
yourself together!

LEFOU
Gosh, it disturbs me to see you Gaston,
Looking so down in the dumps.
Ev'ry guy here'd love to be you, Gaston,
even when taking your lumps.
There's no man in town as admired as you,
You're everyone's favorite guy.
Everyone's awed and inspired by you,
and it's not very hard to see why!

No one's slick as Gaston,
no one's quick as Gaston,
no one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston's.
For there's no man in town half as manly,
Perfect, a pure paragon!
You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley,
and they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on.

LEFOU and BEERDRINKERS
No one's been like Gaston,
a kingpin like Gaston,
No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston.

GASTON
As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!

LEFOU and BEERDRINKERS
My, what a guy, that Gaston!

Give five "hurrahs!"
Give twelve "hip hips!"
Gaston is the best and the rest is all drips.

No one fights like Gaston,
Douses lights like Gaston,

BEERDRINKER 1
In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston.

THREE BLONDES
For there's no one as burly and brawny.

GASTON
As you see I've got biceps to spare.

LEFOU
Not a bit of him scraggly or scrawny,

GASTON
That's right!
And every last inch of me's covered with hair.

BEERDRINKERS
No one hits like Gaston,

OTHER BEERDRINKERS
Matches wits like Gaston,

LEFOU
In a spitting match nobody spits like Gaston.

GASTON
I'm especially good at expectorating!
Ptoooie!

ALL
Ten points for Gaston!

GASTON
When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs
every morning to help me get large.
And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs
so I'm roughly the size of a barge!

ALL
No one shoots like Gaston,
Makes those beauts like Gaston.

LEFOU
Then goes tromping around wearing boots like Gaston.

GASTON
I use antlers in all of my decorating!

GROUP of BEERDRINKERS 
Say it again!

ANOTHER GROUP of BEERDRINKERS
Who's a man among men

FIRST GROUP
And let's say it once more.

SECOND GROUP
Who's that hero next door?

ALL
Who's a super success?
Don't you know?
Can't you guess?
Ask his fans and his five hangers-on.
There's just one guy in town,
Who's got all of it down!

ALL
Gaston!



GASTON

MAURICE: Help! Someone help me!
        
INNKEEPER : Maurice?
        
MAURICE: Please!  Please!  I need your help!
He's got her, he's got her locked in the dungeon
        
LEFOU: Who?
      
MAURICE: Belle!  We must go!  Not a minute to lose!
        
GASTON: Whoa!  Slow down Maurice!  Who's got Belle locked in
a dungeon?
        
MAURICE: A Beast!  A horrible, monstrous Beast!
    
BEERDRINKER ONE: Is it a big Beast?
        
MAURICE: Huge!
        
BEERDRINKER TWO: With a long, ugly snout?
        
MAURICE: Hideously ugly!
        
BEERDRINKER THREE: And sharp, cruel fangs?
        
MAURICE: Yes, yes!  Will you help me?
        
GASTON: All right, old man.  We'll help you out.
        
MAURICE: You will?  Oh, thank you!  Thank you!  Thank you!
                
INKEEPER: Crazy old Maurice!
        
BEERDRINKER ONE: He's always good for a laugh.
      
GASTON:  Crazy old Maurice.  Hmmmmm.  Crazy old Maurice.  Hmm.
 
GASTON
Lefou, I'm afraid I've been thinking.

LEFOU
A dangerous pastime,

GASTON
I know.
But that wacky old coot is Belle's father,
and his sanity's only "so-so".
Now the wheels in my head have been turning,
since I looked at that loony old man.
See, I promised myself I'd be married to Belle,
and right now I'm evolving a plan!

                                        LEFOU
If I .... (whisper) ...                 
                                        Yes!
Then we'd ... (whisper) ...     
                                        No!  Would she?
... (whisper) ... Guess!        
                                        Now I get it!

BOTH
Let's go!
No one plots like Gaston,
Takes cheap shots like Gaston,
Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston.

CHORUS
So his marriage we soon will be celebrating!
My, what a guy!
Gaston!
                                


BE OUR GUEST

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

Be our guest.  Be our guest.
Put our service to the test.
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, cherie,
and we provide the rest.
Soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres.
Why, we only live to serve!
Try the gray stuff, it's delicious.
Don't believe me? Ask the dishes!
They can sing, they can dance.
After all, miss, this is France.
And a dinner here is never second best.
Go on, unfold your menu.
Take a glance and then you'll be our guest.
Oui, our guest. Be our guest!

LUMIERE AND CHORUS
Beef ragout, cheese souffle.
Pie and pudding en flambe.

LUMIERE
We'll prepare and serve with flair a culinary cabaret!
You're alone and you're scared, 
but the banquet's all prepared.
No one's gloomy or complaining,
while the flatware's entertaining!
We tell jokes. I do tricks,
with my fellow candlesticks.

BEERSTEINS
Und it's all in perfect taste that you can bet.

LUMIERE AND CHORUS
Come on and lift your glass.
You've won your own free pass,
to be our guest.

LUMIERE
If you're stressed, it's fine dining we suggest!

LUMIERE AND CHORUS
Be our guest. Be our guest. Be our guest!

LUMIERE
Life is so unnerving for a servant who's not serving.
He's not whole without a soul to wait upon.
Ah, those good old days when we were useful.
Suddenly those good old days are gone.
Ten years we've been rusting,
needing so much more than dusting.
Needing exercise, a chance to use our skill.
Most days we just lay around the castle.
Flabby, fat and lazy,
you walked in and oops-a-daisy!

MRS. POTTS
It's a guest! It's a guest!
Sakes alive, well, I'll be blessed!
Wine's been poured and thank the Lord,
I've had the napkins freshly pressed.
With dessert, she'll want  tea.
And, my dear, that's fine with me.
While the cups do their soft-shoein'
I'll be bubblin'!  I'll be brewin'!
I'll get warm, piping hot.
Heavens sake, is that a spot?
Clean it up! We want the company impressed.
We've got a lot to do! 
Is it one lump or two?          CHORUS
For you, our guest.             She's our guest!
She's our guest!                Be our guest!

CHORUS
Be our guest! Be our guest!
Our command is your request.
It's ten years since we've had anybody here, 
and we're obsessed!
With your meal, with your ease,
yes, indeed, we aim to please.
While the candlelight's still glowing,
Let us help you, we'll keep going!

LUMIERE AND CHORUS
Course by course, one by one!
'Till you shout, "Enough, I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest.
Tonight you'll prop your feet up!
But for now, let's eat up!
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!
Please be our guest!



SOMETHING THERE

BELLE
There's something sweet,
and almost kind,
but he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined.
And now he's dear,
and so I'm sure,
I wonder why I didn't see it there before.

BEAST
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.

BELLE
New, and a bit alarming!
Who'd have ever thought that this could be!
True, that he's no Prince Charming,
but there's something in him that I simply didn't see.

LUMIERE
Well, who'd have thought!

MRS. POTTS
Well, bless my soul!

COGSWORTH
Well, who'd have known?

MRS POTTS  
Well, who indeed!

LUMIERE
And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?

MRS. POTTS                              LUMIERE
It's so peculiar,               
Wait and see                            We'll, wait and see

LUMIERE and MRS. POTTS and COGSWORTH
A few days more.
There may be something there
That wasn't there before.

COGSWORTH
Perhaps there's something there
That wasn't there before.

MRS.POTTS
There may be something there
That wasn't there before.




THE MOB SONG

GASTON: The Beast will make off with your children! 
He'll come after them in the night!
        
BELLE: No!
        
GASTON:  We're not safe til his head is mounted on my wall!
I say we kill the Beast!
        
MOB: Kill the Beast!

MAN ONE
We're not safe until he's dead!

MAN TWO
He'll come stalking us at night!

WOMAN
Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite!

MAN THREE
He'll wreak havoc on our village,
if we let him wander free!

GASTON
So it's time to take some action, boys!
It's time to follow me!

Through the mist, through the woods
Through the darkness and the shadows
It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride!
Say a prayer, then we're there
At the drawbridge of a castle
And there's something truly terrible inside:
It's a beast!--He's got fangs, razor sharp ones!
Massive paws, killer claws for the feast!
Hear him roar!  See him foam!
But we're not coming home,
'Til he's dead!!!
Good and dead!
Kill the Beast!

BELLE: No!  I won't let you do this!
        
GASTON: If you're not with us, you're against us! Bring the old man!
        
MAURICE: Get your hands off me!
        
GASTON: We can't have them running off to warn the creature!
        
BELLE: Let us out!
        
GASTON: We'll rid the village of this Beast!  Who's with me?!? 
        
VARIOUS:  I am!!  I am!!!  I am!!

VILLAGERS
Light your torch!
Mount your horse!

GASTON
Screw your courage to the sticking place!

VILLAGERS
We're counting on Gaston to lead the way!

WOMEN
Through a mist, through a wood,
Where within a haunted castle,
Something's lurking that you don't see every day.

VILLAGERS
It's a beast!  One as tall as a mountain,
We won't rest 'til he's good and deceased!
Sally forth! Tally ho!
Grab your sword!  Grab your bow!
Praise the Lord and here we go!

GASTON: We'll lay seige to the castle and bring back his head!
        
BELLE: I have to warn the Beast!  This is all my fault!  
Oh, Papa, what are we going to do?
        
MAURICE: Now, now, we'll think of something...

VILLAGERS
We don't like what we don't understand
in fact, it scares us
And this monster is mysterious at least!

MEN
Bring your guns! Bring your knives!
Save your children and your wives!
We'll save our village and our lives!
We'll kill the Beast!

COGSWORTH: I knew it. I knew it was foolish to get our hopes up.
        
LUMIERE: Maybe it would have been better if she'd never come at
all!  Could it be?
        
MRS POTTS: Is it she?
        
LUMIERE: Sacre bleu!  Invaders!
        
COGSWORTH: Encroachers!
        
MRS POTTS: And they have the mirror!
        
COGSWORTH: Warn the master!  If it's a fight they want, 
we'll be ready for them!!  Who's with me?

GASTON: Take whatever booty you can find, but remember, 
the Beast is MINE!

CASTLEWARE
Lights ablaze, banners high,
We go marching into battle,
unafraid, although the danger just increased.

VILLAGERS
Raise the flag!  Sing the song!
Here we come, we're fifty strong
And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong!
Let's kill the Beast!

MRS POTTS: Pardon me, master...
        
BEAST: Leave me in peace.
       
MRS POTTS: But, sir!--The castle is under attack!

VILLAGERS
Kill the Beast!  Kill the Beast!

LUMIERE: This isn't working!
        
FEATHERDUSTER: But, Lumiere, we must do something!
       
LUMIERE: Wait, I know!

VILLAGERS
Kill the Beast!
Kill the Beast!

POTTS: What shall we do, Master?
        
BEAST: It doesn't matter, now.  Just let them come.

VILLAGERS
KILL THE BEAST!
KILL THE BEAST!
KILL THE BEAST!



BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Tale as old as time,
True as it can be.
Barely even friends,
Then somebody bends
Unexpectedly.

Just a little change,
Small, to say the least.
Both a little scared,
Neither one prepared,
Beauty and the Beast

Ever just the same.
Ever a surprise.
Ever as before,
Ever just as sure
As the sun will rise.

Tale as old as time
Tune as old as song.
Bittersweet and strange,
Finding you can change,
Learning you were wrong.
                
Certain as the sun
Rising in the East.
Tale as old as time,
Song as old as rhyme.
Beauty and the Beast.

Tale as old as time,
Song as old as rhyme,
Beauty and the Beast.
 
Mrs. Potts: Off to the cupboard with you now, Chip.  It's
past your bedtime.  Goodnight, love.


MAISON DES LUNES



GASTON
There's a danger
I'll be thwarted
And denied my honeymoon
For the pretty thing I've courted
Refuse to swoon
So, the time has come for a murky plan
For which I turn to a murky man

LEFOU
To find that feind

BOTH
Where better than
The Maison des Lunes? 

GASTON
I don't take this girl for granted
There's no path I haven't hewn
To her heart; no seed unplanted
No flowers unstrewn 
But quite amazing to relate
She doesn't want me for her mate

LEFOU 
Which forces him to contemplate

BOTH 
The Maison des Lunes 

MONSIEUR D'ARQUE 
I don't wish to seem a tad obtuse
But I don't see how I can be of use
For I lock people up; 
I'm not a "Lonely Heart's club"
I'm a cold, cold fish I've a nasty, vicious streak

LEFOU 
Please speak!  

GASTON 
It's Belle's father who's your client
She adores the old buffoon
She'll be forced to be complaint

LEFOU 
She'll dance to your tune 

GASTON 
We get the daughter through her dad
You just pronounce the old boy mad
LeFou and, whoosh! He's slammed up in your pad--   

LEFOU, D'ARQUE 
The Maison des Lunes 

GASTON 
Do I make myself entirely clear? 

D'ARQUE
It's the simplest deal of my whole foul career!  

GASTON 
Put Maurice away and she'll be here in moments
In a dreadful state
She'll capitulate to me!  

D'ARQUE
I'll be strapping up an inmate  

LEFOU 
Very tightly 

GASTON 
Very soon   

D'ARQUE 
But please don't bring him late 
Our check-in time's noon!

LEFOU, D'ARQUE 
So, wave one bachelor goodbye  

GASTON 
She'll be my bride   

LEFOU 
She'd rather die
Than have her daddy ossify? 

D'ARQUE 
In my sordid saloon 

ALL
So book the church; raise the glasses high
To the Maison des Lunes!

Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast.   

Off to the cupboard with you now, Chip. It's past your bedtime. 
Good night, love. 



IF I CAN'T LOVE HERE (REPRISE)



BEAST 
No spell has been broken 
No words have been spoken
No point anymore if she can't love me 

No hope she would do so
No dream to pursue, 
So I looked to myself, 
Despise all the things I see
For I know that she 
Cannot set me free
Let the world be done with me. 



THE MOB SONG



BELLE
Show me the Beast!

MOB
(Scream) 

MAURICE 
That's him! 
That's him!

WOMAN
Is it dangerous?

BELLE 
Oh, no.
No, he'd never hurt anyone.
I know he looks frightful, but he's really 
very gentle and kind. 
He's my friend. 

GASTON
If I didn't know better, 
I'd think you had feelings for this monster. 

BELLE
He's no monster, Gaston. 
You are!

GASTON 
She's as crazy as the old man.
She says this creature is her friend.
Well, I've hunted wild beasts 
and I've seen what they can do. 
The Beast will make off with your children. 

CROWD 
(gasp)

GASTON 
He'll come after them in the night.

BELLE 
He will never! 

GASTON 
Forget the old man, I say we kill the Beast! 

MOB 
Kill him!  

MAN 1 
We're not safe until he's dead 

MAN 2
He'll come stalking us at night 

WOMAN 
Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite  

MAN 3 
He'll wreak havoc on our village if we let him wander free  

GASTON 
So it's time to take some action, boys It's time to follow me  
Through the mist, through the woods 
Through the darkness and the shadows 
It's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride 
Say a prayer, then we're there
At the drawbridge of a castle
And there's something truly terrible inside
It's a beast! 
He's got fangs 
Razor sharp ones! 
Massive paws, killer claws for the feast
Hear him roar!
See him foam! 
But we're not coming home 'til he's dead-- 
Good and dead! Kill the Beast!    

BELLE 
I won't let you do this! 

GASTON
Try and stop us!

BELLE 
Papa, this is all my fault.
I have to go back and warn him. 

MAURICE
I'm coming with you

BELLE 
No! 

MAURICE
I lost you once, I won't lose you again! 

BELLE 
Then we'd better hurry. 

GASTON 
We'll rid the village of this Beast. 
Who's with me? 

MOB 
I am! I am! I am!  

MOB 
Light your torch! Mount your horse! 

GASTON
Screw your courage to the sticking place! 

MOB 
We're counting on Gaston to lead the way!  

WOMEN 
Through a mist, through a wood 
Where within a haunted castle
Something's lurking that you don't see ev'ry day! 

MOB
It's a beast!
One as tall as a mountain 
We won't rest 'til he's good and deceased 
Sally forth! Tally ho! 
Grab your sword! Grab your bow! 
Praise the Lord and here we go!  
We don't like 
What we don't understand
In fact it scares us 
And this monster is mysterious at least
Bring your guns! Bring your knives! 
Save your children and your wives
We'll save our village and our lives 
We'll kill the Beast!  

GASTON 
Cut down a tree, and make it a big one!
Take whatever booty you can find. 
But remember, the Beast is MINE!  

CASTLEWARE
Hearts ablaze! Banners high!
We go marching into battle 
Unafraid although the danger just increased

MOB
Raise the flag! Sing the song!
Here we come, we're fifty strong 
And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong 
Let's kill the Beast! Kill the Beast! 
Kill the Beast Kill the Beast! 



THE BATTLE / TRANSFORMATION



BEAST 
You came back

BELLE 
If only I'd come here sooner 

BEAST
Maybe it's better this way 

BELLE 
No! Don't talk like that. 
We're together now. 
Everything will be fine 

BEAST
At least I get to see you one last time.  

BELLE 
We are home
We are where we shall be forever
Trust in me
For you know
I wont run away
From today 
This is all that I need
And all that I need to say is... 
Don't you know how you've changed me 
Strange how I fin'lly see
I found home 
You're my home
Stay with me  

BELLE 
No! No, please! 
Don't leave me! 
I love you.   

  
BEAST/PRINCE 
Belle, look into my eyes!
Belle, don't you recognize 
The beast within the man 
Who's here before you?  

BELLE
It is you! 

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (REPRISE)

BELLE/PRINCE
Two lives have begun now 
Two hearts become one now 
One passion, one dream
One thing forever true I love you! 

ALL
Certain as the sun 
Rising in the east 
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Beauty and the Beast.   

Tale as old as time 
Song as old as rhyme 
Beauty and the Beast. 
Ah!!!!! Ah!!!!! Ah!!!!!!!!!!
