Prologue and belle
The screen light it up and some music and a voice sounded so loud that many people jump off their chairs, scream and fall to the floor oops said storm I had the sound too loud sorry that okay said belle is this your first time doing something like this yes said storm ok got the sound fix. Here we go.
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. And
when he dismissed her again, the old woman's ugliness melted
away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. The prince tried to
apologies, 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 until his
twenty-first year. If he could learn to love another, and earn
her 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?
(A progression of stained-glass windows illustrates the Narrator's tale. We
have also seen the Beast shredding his portrait. The camera zooms out from
the castle and we see the title. Is that how you cursed Adam? Belle asked yes said Adam sadly i didn't have love in my heart at the time, but you changed me belle you and stubbornness. Fade up onto the home of BELLE. Hey that's our cottage saidMAURICE hey its belle says chip sitting by his mother yelled. She exits
the front door, with her basket over her arm, and begins her walk into town.) BELLE: Little town, it's a quiet village
Every day, like the one before
Little town, full of little people
Waking up to say ...
TOWNSFOLK 1: Bonjour!
TOWNSFOLK 2: Bonjour!
TOWNSFOLK 3: Bonjour!
TOWNSFOLK 4: Bonjour!
TOWNSFOLK 5: Bonjour!
BELLE: There goes the baker with his tray like always
The same old bread and rolls to sell
Every morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
To this poor provincial town ...
BAKER: Good morning, Belle!
(BELLE heads over towards the bakery.)
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 ...
BAKER: (Ignores her) That's nice ... Marie! The baguettes! Hurry up!
TOWNSFOLK: Look there she goes, that girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell? Hey belle is not strange yelled chip glaring at the villager's calm drown chip anger won't a thing it's what got us cursed in the first place said Adam
WOMAN 1: Never part of any crowd
BARBER: ' Cause her head's up on some cloud
TOWNSFOLK: No denying she's a funny girl, that Belle!
(BELLE hitches a ride on the back of a wagon and rides it through town.)
DRIVER: Bonjour!
WOMAN 2: Good day!
DRIVER: How is your family?
WOMAN 3: Bonjour!
MERCHANT: Good day!
WOMAN 3: How is your wife?
WOMAN 4: I need six eggs!
MAN 1: That's too expensive!
BELLE: There must be more than this provincial life!
(BELLE enters the bookshop.)
BOOKSELLER: Ah, Belle!
BELLE: Good morning. I've come to return the book I borrowed.
BOOKSELLER: (Putting the book back on the shelf) Finished already?
BELLE: Oh, I couldn't put it down! Have you got anything new?
BOOKSELLER: (Laughing) Not since yesterday!
BELLE: (On the ladder on the bookshelf, looking at the books) That's
alright. I'll borrow ... this one. (She hands it to him)
BOOKSELLER: That one? But you've read it twice!
BELLE: Well, it's my favorite! (She swings on the ladder, making it
roll down it's track.) Far-off places, daring swordfights, magic
spells, a prince in disguise! In disguise indeed said belle with a smile at Adam I guess you can say that said Adam with a roll of his eyes think of when he was covered in fur.
BOOKSELLER: (Hands her the book) If you like it all that much, it's yours!
BELLE: But sir!
BOOKSELLER: I insist! Belle is my best customer in this whole town said the bookseller from where he was sitting.
BELLE: Well thank you ... thank you very much! (Leaves the bookshop.) MEN: (Looking in the window, then turning to watch her)
Look there she goes
That 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!
ALL: What a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle!
(BELLE sits on the edge of a fountain and starts singing to the sheep ... and
the washerwoman in the background, who leaves in a huff.)
BELLE: Oh ... 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 'till chapter three!
WOMAN 5: Now it's no wonder that her name means 'beauty'
Her looks have got no parallel!
MERCHANT: But behind that fair facade,
I'm afraid she's rather odd. Hey, said Maurice my daughter is not odd you bunch are just small minded! With a huff he turned back to the screen.
Very different from the rest of us ...
ALL: She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes, different from the rest of us is Belle!
(GEESE fly overhead. A shot is heard and one of the GEESE plummets to the
ground. LEFOU runs over and holds a bag out to catch it. He missed it. He
hastily shoves the GOOSE in the bag, and hurries back over to GASTON.)
LEFOU: Woah! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston! You're the greatest
hunter in the whole world!
GASTON: I know!
LEFOU: Huh. No beast alive stands a chance against you! Ha ha ha!
And no girl, for that matter!
GASTON: It's true, Lefou. And I've got my sights set on that one! (He
points to BELLE) He wanted to marry you exclamation Adam yes and he didn't take a no the first ten or so times he asked me huffed belle annoyed by been reminded that Gaston had want her as a trophy wife.
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 I mean ...
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 (GASTON is so busy
admiring his own reflection, he doesn't notice BELLE walk past
and away. LEFOU pokes him to get his attention, and when he does,
GASTON hurries after BELLE.) BIMBETTES: Look there he goes, isn't he dreamy?
(LEFOU is squirted when the BIMBETTES lean on a pump)
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!
Brute is right said belle I nevered liked him as a person period oh said Adam what about me when we first met, I think I was worse that that wolfs say belle with a look and brow raised at him.
BELLE is weaving her way easily through the crowd and GASTON is having trouble
catching up to her.)
MAN 1: Bonjour!
GASTON: Pardon!
MAN 2: Good day!
MAN 3: Mais oui!
WOMAN 1: You call this bacon?

MAN 5: They smell!
MAN 6: Madame's mistaken!
BELLE: There must be more than this provincial life!
GASTON: Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife! As if belle said with an eye roll.
(TOWNSFOLK gather
around GASTON and eventually surround him, watching after BELLE.)
ALL: Look there she goes, that girl who's strange but special
A most peculiar mademoiselle
It's a pity and a sin
She doesn't quite fit in ...
GROUP 1: But she really is a funny girl ...
GROUP 2: A beauty but a funny girl ...
ALL: She really is a funny girl ... that Belle!
(GASTON has been climbing over people to get to BELLE. He eventually climbs up
over the roof of a house and slides down the other side. BELLE looks around
when the people stop singing but keeps walking. GASTON jumps in front of her.) GASTON: Hello, Belle.
BELLE: Bonjour, Gaston. (GASTON grabs her book) Gaston, may I have me
book, please?
GASTON: How can you read this? There's no pictures!
BELLE: Well some people use their imaginations.
GASTON: Belle, it's about time you got your head out of those books (He
throws the book into the mud) and paid attention to more important
things. Like me. (The BIMBETTES, who are looking on, sigh.) The
whole town's talking about it. (BELLE picks up her book and
starts cleaning off the mud.) It's not right for a woman to read.
Soon she starts getting ideas ... and thinking ... GASTON: Hello, Belle.
BELLE: Bonjour, Gaston. (GASTON grabs her book) Gaston, may I have me
book, please?
GASTON: How can you read this? There's no pictures!
BELLE: Well some people use their imaginations.
GASTON: Belle, it's about time you got your head out of those books (He
throws the book into the mud) and paid attention to more important
things. Like me. (The BIMBETTES, who are looking on, sigh.) The
whole town's talking about it. (BELLE picks up her book and
starts cleaning off the mud.) It's not right for a woman to read.
Soon she starts getting ideas ... and thinking ...
BELLE: (Cleaning her book with her apron) Gaston, you are positively
primeval.
GASTON: Why, thank you, Belle! Whaddaya say you and I take a walk over
to the tavern and look at my trophies? (He takes the book
from her again, and, putting his arm around her shoulders, starts
to lead her away.)
BELLE: Maybe some other time ...
BIMBETTE 1: What's wrong with her?
BIMBETTE 2: She's crazy!
BIMBETTE 3: He's gorgeous!
BELLE: (Pulling away from Gaston) Please, Gaston, I can't. I have to
get home to help my father. Goodbye.
LEFOU: Ha ha ha! That crazy old loon, he needs all the help he can get!
(GASTON and LEFOU start laughing heartily.)
BELLE: Don't talk about my father that way!
GASTON: Yeah, don't talk about her father that way! (He conks LEFOU on
the head.)
BELLE: My father is not crazy! He's a genius! (An explosion comes from
the direction of BELLE's cottage. BELLE hurries off, leaving
GASTON and LEFOU to continue laughing.
