Handsome and the Beast

by cartoonman412

Setting after thirty-five years after Belle had broken the real super powerful curse, Belle and Adam now have a daughter named Jolie (pronounced Sho-Lee.) who's now put under a transformation curse as a female were-beast. along with Lucienne as a candle-Labra, Cogswolde as a wind-up clock, Mr. Pail as a teapot, Pierre as a feather duster and Claire as a teacup.

(The motion picture opens in Belle and Adam's castle with Belle and their daughter Jolie (pronounced Sho-lee) and a narration.)

Narrator: Once in a faraway globe, a young princess named Jolie lived in the castle with her parents: King Adam and Queen Belle. even though she had everything her heart and mind desired, Jolie was spoiled, selfish and unkind. but then, one cold winter's evening, an elderly beggar man came to the castle. and he offered her one single pink rose. in return for shelter from the freezing cold weather.

Elderly Beggar Man: "please. take this pink rose. in return for shelter from the freezing cold weather."

Narrator: repulsed by his appearance, Jolie sneered at the gift. and she turned the elderly beggar man away."

Jolie: "I don't even need a pink rose. so get outta here, you old beggar man."

Narrator: but he warned him not to be deceived by appearances. for handsome was found within. and when she dismissed him again, the elderly beggar man's ugliness melted away. to reveal a handsome enchanter.

Enchanter: "I sense that you've got no love and respect in your heart and mind."

Jolie: "I'm terribly sorry! I can change! I won't ever do it again!"

Narrator: Jolie tried to apologize. but it was way too late.

Enchanter: "from now on, you shall remain a were-beast for the rest of your entire life."

Narrator: for her punishment, he transformed her into a were-beast. and he placed a powerful spell on the castle. and some of those who lived there. except Belle, Adam, Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Pierre, Monsieur Bouche and Madame Bouche who stayed human. (the next scene goes to Were-Beast Jolie in the west wing. damaging up her human portrait.) ashamed of her monstrous form, Jolie concealed herself in the castle. with the portable magic mirror. as her only window to the outside globe. the pink rose he'd offered was truly an enchanted pink rose. which of course would bloom 'til her nineteenth year. if she could ever learn how to really love another one. and earn his love in return. by the time the final pink rose petal fell off. then the spell would be broken apart. but if not, she'd be doomed to remain a were-beast for all times. and just as years passed by, she fell into despair. and she'd lost all hope. for who could ever learn how to really love a were-beast."

(The baker comes by over to Beau.)

Baker: "good morning, Beau."

Beau: "good morning, kind sir."

Baker: "where you off to?"

Beau: "the bookshop. I've only just finished the most wonderful book about Jack and the Beanstalk."

Baker: "oh that's nice. well? I've gotta go get back to work."

(The baker makes his leave. and Beau continues his stroll downtown.)

Bookseller: "you've finished already?"

Beau: "I couldn't even put it down. you got anything new around here?"

Bookseller: "not since yesterday morning and afternoon."

Beau: "that's okay. I'll borrow (He takes out another book.) this one."

Bookseller: "that one? but you've read it three times."

Beau: "well? it's my most absolute favorite. far off places, daring sword battle fights, powerful magic spells and a young princess in disguise."

Bookseller: "if you really love it all that much, then it's all yours."

Beau: "but, kind sir-"

(there are geese flying overhead. and one of them gets shot. and it plummets to the ground. and Lovelle runs over, holds out a bag and she catches the prize. then she goes over to Giselle.)

Lovelle: "wow! you didn't even miss one shot, Giselle. you're the greatest huntress in the entire globe."

Giselle: "I know that."

Lovelle: "ha! no were-beast alive and kicking stands once single chance against you. and no boy for that matter neither."

Giselle: "it's true, Lovelle. and I've finally got my heart and mind set on (She points directly at Beau.) that one."

Lovelle: "the lady inventor's son?"

Giselle: "he's the one! the lucky boy I'm going out with."

Lovelle: "but he's-"

Giselle: "the most handsome boy in town."

Lovelle: "I know that."

Giselle: "and that makes him the real super best. and don't I even deserve the real super best?"

Lovelle: "well? yes. of course. I mean, you do. but I really mean-"

Giselle: right from the minute when I met him, saw him

I said he's perfect and I know

Giselle (continued): here in town there's only he

who is braver just as me

Giselle: so I'm making plans to go out with Beau

(Beau begins walking by and away.)

Claude, Laurel and Paul: look there she goes

isn't she dreamy

Claude, Laurel and Paul (continued): Madame Giselle

she's way too cute

Claude, Laurel and Paul: be still my heart, I'm hardly breathing

(The townspeople come around Antoinette. and they all eventually surround him.)

All Townspeople: look there he goes, a boy who's strange but special'

a most peculiar brave no-bozo

All Townspeople (continued): it's a pity and a sin

he doesn't quite fit in

All Townspeople: but he really is a funny boy

All Townspeople (continued): so handsome but a funny boy

All Townspeople: he really is a funny boy

that Beau.

(Giselle jumps in front of Beau. blocking his path.)

Giselle: "hello, Beau."

Beau: "bonjour, Giselle. (Giselle grabs the book from him.) Giselle, can I have my book, please?"

Giselle: "but how can you read this? there's no picture drawings in it."

Beaut: "lots of other people really love using their imaginations."

Giselle: "Beau. it's about time you've got your heads outta these books. (She tosses the book in the muddy puddle.) and paid real super close attention to more important things. like me."

(The Himbettes, who are looking on, sigh heavily.)

Giselle: "the entire town's talking about it. (Beau picks up the book. and he's cleaning off the mud.) it's not even right for a man to be reading all the time. very soon, he begins getting ideas. and thinking."

Beau: "Giselle. you're positively primeval."

Giselle: "why thanks a bunch, Beau. (She puts her right hand around Beau's shoulders. and she grabs the book from him again.) now whaddya say you and I take a walk around over to the tavern and take a real super good look at my hunting trophies."

Beau: "I'm beginning to think perhaps maybe some other time."

Claude: "what seems to be the matter with him?"

Laurel: "he's completely crazy."

Paul (about Giselle): "she's gorgeous."

Beau (taking the book back from Giselle): "please, Giselle. I can't. I need to get back home and help my mother out. bye now."

Lovelle (laughing a bit): "that crazy old lady! she needs all of the help she can get."

(Giselle and Lovelle begin laughing a bit.)

Beau: "don't ever talk about my mother that way!"

Giselle (conking Lovelle on her head): "yeah! don't even talk about his mother that way."

Beau: "my mother's not even crazy! she's a pure genius."

(there's an explosion occurring in the background. and Giselle and Lovelle continue laughing a bit. and Beau rushes home and he goes inside all the way to find Maureen working in the basement.)

Beau: "Mother?"

Maureen (struggling with a problem with the machine she's working on): "how'd this happen? gosh dang it."

Beau: "you okay, Mother?"

Maureen: "I'm about to give up on this hunk of junk."

(Maureen kicks the machine.)

Beau: "you're sometimes always saying that."

Maureen: "I really mean it this time. I'm never gonna get this boneheaded contraption to work."

Beau: "of course you will. and you're gonna win first prize at the town square fair tomorrow afternoon."

Maureen: "hmmmmmm."

Beau: "and become a real super popular lady inventor."

Maureen: "you really believe in that."

Beau: "I've always had."

Maureen: "well? what are we waiting for? I'll have this thing fixed in the nick of time. (she slides underneath the machine.) hand me that monkey-wrench over there. (Beau hands her the monkey-wrench.) so did you have a real super good time in town today?'

Beau: "I've got myself a new book. Mother? do you really think I'm odd?"

Maureen: "my son? odd? where'd you get such an idea like that?"

Beau: "I don't even know about it. it's only just I'm not really sure if I fit in here. there's nobody I can really speak to."

Maureen: "but what about that Giselle? she's a beautiful person."

Beau: "she's beautiful by the way. also rude and conceited and-oh, Mother. she's not the one for me."

Maureen: "now don't worry about it. 'cause this machine's gonna be the new beginning for both of us. (she comes out from underneath the machine.) I'm beginning to think that's done it. now let's give it a try."

(the machine begins activating and chopping pieces of wood. just like it really should.)

Beau: "it's working perfectly!"

Maureen: "it is? it really is!"

Beau: "you did it, Mother! you really did it."

Maureen: "hitch up Petunia, my dear boy. I'm off to the town square fair!"

(later that day, Maureen, with Petunia hitched up, is about to make her leave.)

Beau: "bye, Mother! good luck out there."

Maureen: "bye, Beau! and take real super good care while I'm gone out."

(Maureen and Petunia continue their journey quest. 'til they both get lost in the wilderness forest.)

Maureen: "we should really be there by now. I'm beginning to think perhaps maybe we've missed a turn. I'm guessing we should've taken a...wait just one minute. (She lifts the lantern to illuminate the signs giving directions to Anaheim and Valencia.) let's go this way. (Petunia looks right at the dark overgrown path, then left, towards a more inviting route, then she begins going left.) come on, Petunia. it's only just a shortcut. we'll be there in the nick of time. (She and Petunia continue through the dark.) this can't even be right. where have you taken us, Petunia? we'd better turn back around and-whoooooooa! whoa, girl! oh! oh! look out! (a swarm of bats fly outta the tree. and Petunia gallops through the wilderness forest, avoiding everything. 'til she almost runs over the edge of the cliff.) back up! back up! back up! good girl! good girl! that's real super good. that's-back up! steady, girl! steady now! (Petunia finally bucks her off.) Petunia! (Petunia gallops away. leaving Maureen on the edge of the cliff.) Petunia? oh dear! (She looks up. and she sees some wolves growling and snarling at her. and she runs away. being chased around by the wolves. she stumbles downhill. and she lands at the gates of Adam, Belle and Were-Beast Jolie's castle. she grabs the locked gate. and she tries to shake it open.) help me out here! is there a certain somebody there?! (the gate opens. and she races in there. then she slams the gate in the faces of the wolves. leaving her scarf on the ground. just as a rainstorm begins. and she races over to the castle. and she bangs on the door. then it creaks open. and she enters cautiously.) hello? hello?"

(watching from the decorations table are Lucienne (now a candelabra) and Cogswolde (now a wind-up clock).)

Lucienne (whispering to Cogswolde): "ze elderly lahdy must hahve lahst her way een ze weelderness fahrest."

Cogswolde (whispering to Lucienne): "keep silent. I'm beginning to think perhaps maybe she'll go away."

Maureen: "is a certain somebody there?"

Cogswolde: "not one word, Lucienne. not one single word."

Maureen: "I don't even mean to intrude. but I've already lost my horse. and I need a place to stay for the entire evening."

Adam: "Belle? who's this peculiar looking lady?"

Belle: "I don't know, Adam. but she reminds me of my father who passed away twenty-seven years ago."

Chip: "good thing we've all stayed human, thanks to that protection shield we've had before."

Cogsworth: "except the other castle servants."

Mrs. Potts: "oh thank goodness."

Lumiere: "we do naht need to go through zat ahgain."

Chip: "neither do I."

Monsieur Bouche: "zank goodness."

(Cut back to Lucienne and Cogswolde...)

Lucienne: "oh, cahgswahlde. hahve a heart ahnd mind."

Cogswolde (putting her right hand over Lucienne's mouth. who promptly proceeds to touch her candlelight hand. to her right hand) "shhhhhhhhh. yooooooowch!"

Lucienne: "why of course, mahdame. you ahre welcahme here."

Maureen (looking around, a bit confused): "who just said that?"

(Maureen picks up Lucienne for light. not realizing that the speaker's in her right hand.)

Lucienne (tapping on Maureen's left shoulder): "ovair here!"

Maureen (spinning around, pulling Lucienne over to the other side): "where?"

Lucienne (tapping Maureen on the left side of her head. and Maureen takes a look at her.): "allo!"

Maureen (startled and surprised): "ooooohhh! real super incredible."

Cogswolde (hopping over to Lucienne): "oh. now you've done it, Lucienne. splendid! just peachy-(she gets picked up by Maureen.) aaaaaaaaaaaah!"

Maureen: "how's this accomplished?"

(Maureen begins fiddling around with Cogswolde.)

Cogswolde: "put me down! this instant! (Maureen begins tickling the bottoms of Cogswolde's feet. and she begins laughing a bit. then she begins winding up the spring on the back of Cogswolde's head. twisting her face around with her clock hands. then she opens the front of Cogswolde. and she begins playing around with her pendulum. then she slams the door on her fingers.) ma'am! close that this instant! do you even mind?"

Maureen: "I beg your pardon. it's only just that I've never seen a wind-up clock that...aaaahh...I mean...aaaahh...aaaaahh...aaaahh...shooooo!"

(Maureen sneezes in the face of Cogswolde. who proceeds to clean her face off. by using her clock hands. in a super anachronistic windshield wiper manner. then Maureen sniffs a bit. indicating the multi-season cold she only just caught from being out in the rainstorm.)

Lucienne: "oh. you ahre soaked to ze bahne, Mahdame. cahme. wahrm yourself up by ze fireplahce."

Maureen: "thanks a bunch."

(Lucienne and Maureen head towards the living room. with Cogswolde racing after them. and Were-Beast Jolie's watching in on the action from an overhead walkway. and she races off. just as the trio races over to the living room.)

Cogswolde: "no, no, no, no, no! do you even know what the mistress would do if she finds you here? I demand you stop...right...there! (She tumbles down the stair steps. and Maureen takes her seat in the armchair. in front of the fireplace.) oh no. please! not the mistress's armchair. (Sultana, who's now a footstool 'cause of the spell from the enchanter, rushes by, barking up a storm.) I'm not even seeing this! I'm not even seeing this!"

Maureen (just as Sultana rushes over to her): "why hello there, girl. (Sultana props herself up underneath Maureen's feet. and Carina, who's now a jacket rack, enters. and she removes Maureen's cloak.) what real super good service."

Cogswolde: "okay. this has gone way too far enough. I'm in charge here. and-"

(Cogswolde gets run over by the anachronistic IndyCar sounding tea cart of Mr. Pail, who's now a teapot and Claire, who's now a teacup.)

Mr. Pail (arriving over to Maureen's side): "how'd you like a wonderful spot of red rose tea, ma'am? it'll warm you up in the nick of time."

(Mr. Pail pours red rose tea into Claire. who hops over into Maureen's right hand.)

Cogswolde (from facedown, position on the carpet): "no way. no red rose tea. no red rose tea."

Claire (just as Maureen takes one sip of her red rose tea and laughing a bit.): "her smiling face really tickles, Daddy."

Maureen (startled by Claire): "why! hello there."

(The door to the living room slams open. and a real super strong breeze blows in through the room. extinguishing Lucienne's fire flames and the other fire flames in the fireplace. Cogswolde dives in for cover. Mr. Pail begins shaking. and Claire jumps back on the tea cart. and she hides behind Mr. Pail.)

Claire: "uh oh! here she comes."

(Were-Beast Jolie enters. and Belle and Adam are trying to keep her calm.)

Adam: "please! Jolie! sweetie cakes! try to stay calm."

Belle: "you're our one and only daughter! this isn't even like you at all."

Cogsworth: "behave yourself!"

(Were-Beast Jolie's on all fours. and she looks around in the darkness.)

Were-Beast Jolie (growling and snarling a bit): "there's a stranger in here."

Lucienne (after her fire flames had re-lit): "meestress. ahllow me to explain. ze kind lahdy wahs lahst een ze weelderness fahrest. ahnd she wahs freezeeng cahld ahnd wet ahnd-"

(Lucienne's final sentence is drowned out by Were-Beast Jolie's snarling. which of course puts out her fire flames again. and she looks down. dejected.)

Cogswolde (coming out from underneath the carpet): "mistress. I'd like to take this minute to say...I was against this from the beginning. but would they even pay real super close attention and listen to me? no, no, no, no, no."

(once again, Were-Beast Jolie's snarling drowns out Cogswolde's voice. and Maureen looks over to one side of the armchair. then over to the other. and she sees Were-Beast Jolie.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "who are you?! what are you doing here in my castle?!"

Maureen: "I was lost in the wilderness forest. and-"

Were-Beast Jolie: "you're not even welcome here!"

Maureen: "I'm terribly sorry!"

Were-Beast Jolie: "what are you staring at?"

Maureen: "nothing! nothing at all!"

Were-Beast Jolie: "so! you've come to stare at the were-beast! have you?!"

Maureen: "please! I didn't even mean any harm! I only just needed a place to stay for the entire evening!"

Were-Beast Jolie: "I'll give you a place to stay for the entire evening! in the dungeon!"

Maureen: "no! please! noooooooo!"

(Were-Beast Jolie picks Maureen up. and she carries her outta the living room. and she slams the door. plunging the living room. along with Cogswolde, Lumiette, Mr. Pail, Claire, Belle, Adam, Mrs. Potts, Chip, Lumiere and Cogsworth into darkness. and the next scene goes to Beau and Maureen's cottage. with Giselle and Lovelle watching by.)

Lovelle: "boy oh boy. Beau's gonna get the surprise of his entire life. right, Giselle?"

Giselle: "yeah. this is his real super lucky day. (she lets go of a tree branch. which of course swings back and forth and even hits Lovelle in her mouth. then she turns over to the orchestra band, fancy dance off party guests and the others, apparently, outside Beau and Maureen's cottage.) I'd like to thank you all for coming to this fancy dance off party. but first. I'd better go in there and...ask the boy out. (the others laugh a bit. while the camera zooms in on the Himbettes. who sigh heavily. in defeat. then over to Azrael.) and you, Lovelle. now when Beau and I come out that door-"

Lovelle: "I've got it! I'll strike up the orchestra band."

(Lovelle turns over. and she begins directing the orchestra band in The Chicken Dance music. and Giselle slams a baritone over her head.)

Giselle: "not yet!"

Lovellel (from inside the baritone with her mouth and lips sticking out from the mouthpiece): "sorry 'bout that!"

(Cut to the interior of the cottage. where Beau's sitting in a dining chair. reading his new book. there's a knock at the front door. he puts the book down. and he walks over to the front door. he reaches up. and he pulls down the viewing device. he peeks through. and he sees an anachronistically accurate fish-eye view of Giselle. he moans and groans. and he pushes the door open.)

Beau: "why, Giselle. what a pleasant surprise."

Giselle: "isn't it though? I'm only just full of surprises. you know, Beau. there's not a boy in town who wouldn't even really love to be in your sneakers. this is the day. (she pauses by the living room mirror. and she licks her teeth clean.) this is the day your dream visions come true."

Beau: "what do you know about my dream visions, Giselle?"

Giselle: "plenty of them. here. picture this. (she sits down in a dining chair. and she props up her feet on Beau's book.) a rustic hunting lodge. my latest kill. roasting in the fireplace. and my future husband. massaging my feet. while the little ones play around with the dogs and cats. we'll have six or seven of them."

Beau: "dogs? or cats?"

Girls: "no, Beau. strapping girls. like me."

Beau: "well. imagine that."

(Beau picks up his book. and he places a bookmark in it. and he places it on the bookshelf.)

Giselle: "and do you even know who that future husband will be?"

Beau: "let me think for one single minute."

Giselle (cornering Beau): "you, Beau."

Beau (ducking down underneath Giselle's arms): "Giselle. I'm speechless. I don't even know what to say about it."

Giselle (pushing dining chairs and things outta the way 'til she reaches Beau): "say you'll go out with me."

Beau (reaching for the doorknob): "I'm terribly sorry, Giselle. but I don't even deserve you."

(Beau twists the doorknob. and the door opens. and he ducks underneath Giselle. and she tumbles out the door. and she lands in the mud puddle.)

Giselle: "whoooooooooooooa!"

Lovelle: "so? how'd it go?"

Giselle (looking right up at Lovelle): "I'll have Beau as my one true love. don't even make one single mistake about it."

(Giselle drops Lovelle in the mud puddle.)

Lovelle: "ooooh. touchy."

(Penelope the Pig grunts a bit. and Gizelle walks off. dejected. and the concentration returns to the entire village town. and Beau pokes his head out the door.)

Beau (looking right at the chickens): "is she gone for now? can you even imagine? she asked me to go out with her. me. the one true love of that boorish and brainless-"

Beau: Monsieur, Giselle

can't you just see it

Beau (continued): Monsieur, Giselle

a future wife

Beau: not me, no ma'am

I guarantee it

Beau (continued): I want much more

than this provincial life

(Beau walks into the pen. and he begins feeding the critters. then he races off into the open valley with flower plants.)

Beau: I want adventure in the great wide somewhere

I want it more than I can tell

Beau (continued): and for once it might be grand

to have someone understand

Beau: I want so much more

than they've got planned.

(Petunia gallops into the open field. and Beau looks right at her. disturbed that Maureen's not even with her at all.)

Beau: "Petunia! what are you doing here? where's Mother? where is she, Petunia? what happened? oh. we need to find her. you need to take me to her!"

(Beau unhitches the wagon from Petunia. and the next scene goes to the exterior of the castle's gate.)

Beau: "what's this peculiar looking place? (Petunia snorts a bit. then she begins bucking away. just as if something's terrifying her. and Beau dismounts to keep her calm.) Petunia. please. steady now. (He enters the gate. and he sees Maureen's scarf on the ground.) Mother."

(the next scene goes to the interior of the castle. with Lucienne and Cogswolde discussing the events from before.)

Cogswolde: "couldn't even stay silent. could we? we only just had to invite her to stay. didn't we? serve her some red rose tea. sit in the mistress's armchair. and even pet the pooch."

Lucienne: "I wahs only just trying to be mahre hahspeetahble."

(the next scene goes to Beau entering the castle.)

Beau: "hello? is anybody here? hello? Mother? Mother, are you here?"

(Beau ascends the grand staircase. and he looks around for Maureen. and the next scene goes to the kitchen where Mr. Pail's standing next to a tub of warm water. and Claire hops in.)

Claire: "Daddy! there's a boy in the castle."

Mr. Pail: "now, Claire. I won't have you making up such wild stories."

Claire: "but really, Daddy. I saw him."

Mr. Pail: "not another word. (He lifts Claire up in the tub.) into the tub."

Pierre: "a boy! I sahw a boy een ze cahstle!"

Claire (emerging from the water in the tub): "see? I've already told you before."

(the next scene goes back to Lucienne and Cogswolde temperamental arguing and bickering.)

Cogswolde: "irresponsible! devil-may-care! waxy-eared! slack-jawed-"

Beau (off screen): "Mother?"

(Lucienne and Cogswolde turn over to see the new arrival.)

Lucienne: "deed you see zat? eet ees a boy!"

Cogswolde: "I know it's a boy."

Lucienne: "do you naht see? he ees ze one. ze boy we hahve been waiteeng fahr. he hahs cahme to break ahpahrt ze spell!"

(Lucienne begins chasing after Beau.)

Cogswolde: "wait just one minute! wait just one minute!"

(Beau advances down the hallways. and Lucienne and Cogswolde sneak up behind her. and they both open the door that leads to the dungeon tower where Maureen's being kept. and the door creaks open. and Beau hears a peculiar sound.)

Beau: "Mother? Mother? (Cogswolde hides behind the door. and Lucienne rushes off.) hello? is there a certain somebody here? wait! I'm looking for my mother. (He begins going up the stairsteps.) that's a bit weird. I'm pretty sure there was a certain somebody. is anybody here?"

Maureen (off screen): "Beau? is that really you?"

Beau: "Mother!"

(Beau rushes over to Maureen. who's in her dungeon cell.)

Beau: "oh! Mother!"

Maureen: "how'd you find me in here?"

Beau: "your hands are cold as ice. we need to get you outta here."

Maureen: "Beau. I need you to leave this place."

Beau: "who's done this to you?"

Maureen: "there's no time to explain. you must go. now!"

Beau: "I'm not leaving you!"

Were-Beast Jolie (off screen): "what are you doing here?!"

(Were-Beast Jolie grabs Beau's right shoulder. and she whips him around. causing him to drop the torch he's carrying. and the room's now darker.)

Beau: "who's there?! who are you?!"

Were-Beast Jolie: "I'm Jolie. the mistress of this castle."

Beau: "I've come here for my mother. please. let her out. can't you see? she's terribly sick."

Were-Beast Jolie: "well then. she really shouldn't've been trespassing here."

Beau: "but she could pass away. please. I'll do anything!"

Were-Beast Jolie: "there's nothing you can do. she's my prisoner."

Beau: "oh. but there must be some other way I can-wait! take me instead."

Were-Beast Jolie: "you'd do that? you'd take her place?"

Maureen: "Beau! you don't even know what you're doing."

Beau: "if I did. would you even let her go?"

Were-Beast Jolie: "yes. of course. but you must promise to stay here for good."

(Beau ponders the entire situation. and he realizes that he can't even see the captor.)

Beau: "step into the light."

(Were-Beast Jolie drags her legs. then her entire body into the beam of light. and Beau looks. his eyes growing wider. 'til he can no longer stand up. and he falls back on Maureen.)

Maureen: "no, Beau! I won't even let you do this."

(Beau regains his courage and bravery. then he steps into the beam of light.)

Beau: "you've got my word of choice."

Were-Beast Jolie: "then it's finally done!"

(Were-Beast Jolie moves over to unlock Maureen's dungeon cell. and Beau collapses on the floor. with his head in his hands. and Maureen rushes over to him.)

Maureen: "no, Beau. pay real super close attention and listen to me. I'm elderly. I've lived my entire life. and-"

(Were-Beast Jolie grabs Maureen. and she drags her all the way downstairs.)

Beau: "stop! wait!"

Maureen: "Beau!"

Beau: "stop! wait!"

(the next scene goes back to the exterior of the castle. and Were-Beast Jolie drags Maureen over to the Palanquin.)

Maureen: "please! spare my son!"

Were-Beast Jolie: "he's not even your concern any longer. (she puts Maureen in the Palanquin.) take her back to the village town."

(the Palanquin breaks apart the poison ivy that's holding it to the ground. and it slinks off like a giant spider. with Maureen in it.)

Maureen: "get me outta here! please! get me outta here!"

(the next scene goes back to Beau in the dungeon cell. watching in on the action. growling a bit in anger. and the next scene goes to Were-Beast Jolie walking up the stair steps. and Lucienne's still at her post.)

Lucienne: "hey, uh, meestress?"

Were-Beast Jolie: "what do you want?"

Lucienne: "seence ze boy ees gahnna be weeth ahll of us fahr quite some time, I zought perhahps maybe you would like to offair heem a mahre relahxeeng bedroom. (Were-Beast Jolie growls at her in anger.) zen ahgain. I ahm begeenneeng to sink perhahps maybe naht."

(the next scene goes back to Beau. who's in the dungeon cell.)

Beau: "you didn't even let me say farewell and goodbye! I'm never gonna see her again. and I didn't even get to say farewell and goodbye."

Were-Beast Jolie: "I'll show you to your bedroom."

Beau: "my bedroom? but I thought-"

Were-Beast Jolie: "you wanna stay in the dungeon tower?"

Beau: "no. of course not."

Were-Beast Jolie: "then follow me."

(Were-Beast Jolie begins leading Beau to his bedroom. and just as they both proceed, Beau begins lagging behind. he looks right at the creepy looking stone statues on the walls. and the light casting shadows on them. terrified and nervous, he gasps in shock and surprise. and Were-Beast Jolie looks back over to him.)

Lucienne: "say sahmetheeng to heem."

Were-Beast Jolie: "oh. (She looks right at Beau.) I'm...uh...really hoping you like it here. (she takes a look at Lucienne for approval. and she motions for her to continue.) the castle's your home now. so you can go anyplace you want. except for the west wing."

Beau: "what's in the west wing?"

Were-Beast Jolie (stopping a bit angrily): "it's forbidden! (She continues. and Beau reluctantly follows her. and the next scene goes to the interior of Beau's bedroom. now dark. and the light spills in.) (tenderly) now if you need anything, my servants will attend to you."

Lucienne (whispering in Were-Beast Jolie's right ear): "a deennair meal. eenvite heem to a deennair meal."

Were-Beast Jolie (growing angrily): "you'll join me for a dinner meal. this isn't a request!"

(Were-Beast Jolie leaves. slamming the door. and Beau, angrily, races over to his bed. then he sits on it. and he looks around.)

Beau: "screw you!"

(the next scene goes to a cold snowy weather and the tavern.)

Giselle: "who does he think he is? that boy's already messed around with the wrong lady. nobody says no to Giselle."

Lovelle: "dang right."

Giselle: "dismissed! rejected. publicly humiliated. why it's even more than I can bear."

(Giselle turns her armchair away.)

Lovelle: "more root beer?"

Giselle (turning her armchair away again): "what for? nothing helps me out. I'm completely disgraced."

Lovelle: "who? you? never. Giselle, you need to get ahold of yourself."

Lovelle: Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Giselle

looking so down in the dumps

Lovelle (continued): every girl here'd love to be you Giselle

even when taking your lumps

Lovelle: there's no lady in town

as admired as you

Lovelle (continued): you're everyone's favorite girl

Lovelle: everyone's awed and inspired by you

(Lovelle turns the armchair back to frontwards.)

Lovelle (continued): and it's not very hard'

to see whyyyyyy

Lovelle: no one's beautiful as Giselle

no one's suitable as Giselle

no one's next as incredibly delightful as Giselle

Lovelle (continued): for there's no lady in town half as lady-like

perfect a pure paragon

Lovelle: you can ask any Tomisina, Darla or Stacy

Lovelle (continued): and they'll tell you whose team they'd prefer to be on

Giselle's Cronies and Lovelle: no one's been like Giselle

a tempest like Giselle

Lovelle: no one's got a fine and swell neck like Giselle

Giselle: as a powerful lady

yes I'm fascinating

Giselle's Cronies and Lovelle: my what a girl

that Giselle

Giselle's Cronies: give five hurrays

give twelve hip-hips

Lovelle: Antoinette is the best

and the rest is all drips

(Lovelle swings up her right arm in dance off mode. and she throws a mug of root beer in Giselle's face. who socks her in the face.)

Giselle's Cronies and Lovelle: no one fights like Giselle

no one bites like Giselle

Female Wrestler: in a wrestling match

no one bites like Giselle

Himbettes: for there's no one as beautiful

and brave

Lovelle: not a bit of her scraggly or scrawny

Giselle: "that's exactly right."

Giselle: and my breasts are the most firm and shapely of all

Giselle's Cronies and Lovelle: no one hits like Giselle

matches wits like Giselle

Giselle's Cronies and Lovelle (continued): in a dance competition

no one dances like Giselle

Giselle: I'm especially good at dancing and grooving

Giselle's Cronies and Lovelle: ten points for Antoinette

Giselle: when I was a kid I ate four dozen eggs

every morning to help me get large

Giselle (continued): and now that I'm grown

I eat five dozen eggs

Giselle: so I'm strong and shapely as ever

Giselle's Cronies and Lovelle: no one shoots like Giselle

makes those beauts like Giselle

Lovelle: then goes tramping around but no boots like Giselle

Giselle: I use antlers in all of my decorating

Giselle's Cronies and Lovelle: my what a girl

Giselle.

(the cronies pick up the armchair with Giselle in it. and Lovelle tries to escape. but they all toss the armchair in its regular place. and Lovelle's pinned underneath. then Maureen emerges frantically.)

Maureen: "help! somebody! help me out here!"

Bartender: "Maureen?"

Maureen: "please! oh please! I need your help around here! she's got him. she's got him locked in the dungeon."

Lovelle: "really? who?"

Maureen: "Beau! we must go! now! not one single minute to lose!"

Giselle: "whoa! slow down there, Maureen. who's got Beau locked in a dungeon?"

Maureen: "a were-beast! a terrible and horrible monstrous were-beast!"

(Maureen's really gone from one single person to another person. 'til she's thrown at the feet of Giselle. a minute of silence. and the cronies begin laughing and making fun of her.)

Crony Number One: "is it a real super big were-beast?"

Maureen: "real super big!"

Crony Number Two: "with a real super long ugly snout?"

Maureen: "hideously ugly!"

Crony Number Three: "and sharp cruel fangs?"

Maureen: "yes! of course! will you all help me out here?"

Giselle: "okay, elderly lady. we'll help you out."

Maureen: "you will? oh. thanks a bunch."

(the cronies pick up Maureen. and they all help her out. by throwing her through the door.)

Crony Number Four: "crazy old Maureen."

Crony Number Five: "she's always in for a real super good laugh."

Giselle (feeling pensive): "crazy old Maureen. hmmm? crazy old Maureen. hmmm?"

Giselle: Lovelle, I'm afraid I've been thinking

Lovelle (popping out from underneath Antoinette's armchair): a dangerous pastime

Giselle: I know

Giselle (continued): but that wacky old bat

is Beau's mother

Giselle: and her sanity's only so-so

Giselle (continued): now the wheels in my head have been turning

Giselle: since I've looked at that loony old lady

Giselle (continued): see I promised myself

I'd go out with Beau

Giselle: and right now

I'm involving a plan

Giselle (whispering to Lovelle): "so if I..."

Lovelle (whispering to Giselle): "yeah?"

Giselle (still whispering to Lovelle): "then I..."

Lovelle (still whispering to Giselle): "no way. would he?"

Giselle (still whispering to Lovelle): "take a guess."

Lovelle: "now I get it."

Giselle and Lovelle: "so let's gooooooo!"

(Giselle and Lovelle begin waltzing around a bit.)

Giselle and Lovelle: no one plots like Giselle

takes cheap shots like Giselle

Lovelle: plans to persecute harmless crackpots

like Giselle

Giselle's Cronies and Lovelle: so her romance we soon'll be celebrating

my what a girl

Giselle.

(the next scene goes to the village town empty. except Maureen.)

Maureen: "will nobody ever help me out here?!"

(the next scene goes back to Beau in his bedroom. sitting on his bed, having his arms folded in anger. and he hears a clink, clink, clink sound at his bedroom door.)

Beau: "who is it?"

Mr. Pail (off screen): "Mr. Pail, my dear. (Beau's bedroom door opens.) I'd thought for sure you'd might like a spot of red rose tea."

Beau (surprised and amazed that he's paying real super close attention and listening to a walking and talking tea set): "but you...aaahh! but...I-"

(Beau accidentally bumps into Monsieur Boucher. who's now a wardrobe.)

Monsieur Boucher: "whoa! be real supair cahreful zere."

Beau (sitting on his bed): "this is truly impossible."

Monsieur Boucher: "I know eet ees. but here we ahll ahre."

Claire (just as sugar and cream are being poured into her): "I've told you before he was handsome, Daddy. didn't I?"

Mr. Pail: "okay now, Claire. that'll do. (Claire hops over to Beau. who's sitting on the floor.) slowly now. don't even spill yourself."

Beau (picking up Claire and about to take a sip of red rose tea): "thanks a bunch."

Claire: "you wanna see me do a trick?"

(Claire takes one deep breath. and she blows some bubbles from her top part.)

Mr. Pail (off screen): "Claire!"

Claire: "whoops a daisy. sorry 'bout that."

Mr. Pail: "that was a brave, fearless and heroic thing you did, my dear."

Monsieur Boucher: "we ahll zought so."

Beau: "but I've lost my mother. my dream visions. everything."

Mr. Pail: "try to cheer up a bit, dear boy. everything's gonna turn out okay during the ending. you'll see."

Mr. Pail: I hope that we'll be friends

though I don't know you well

if anyone can make the most of living here

then, Beau, it's you

and who knows?

you may find home here too

Mr. Pail: "whoops a daisy! pay real super close attention and listen to me. jabber-yapping on when there's a dinner meal to get on the dining table. Claire!"

Claire (hopping over to Mr. Pail): "here I come, Daddy! see you later on, Beau!"

(Beau stands up. and Monsieur Boucher approaches him.)

Monsieur Boucher: "well now. whaht shahll we dress you een fahr a deennair meal? let's see whaht I hahve gaht een my drahwers. (The doors fly open. and moths flutter out. and he slams them shut.) sahcre bleu! how embahrrasseeng. here we ahre. (one door opens. and the other serves as the right arm. and it pulls out a fancy dress shirt.) ah! zere! you will look rahveesheeng een zis one."

Beau: "that's real super kind of you. but I'm not going to the dinner meal table."

Monsieur Boucher: "oh! but you must."

(Cogswolde waddles into Beau's bedroom.)

Cogswolde (clearing her throat): "the dinner meal's now being served."

(the next scene goes to Were-Beast Jolie pacing back and forth in front of the fireplace. with Mr. Pail and Lucienne looking on.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "what's taking so long? I've told him before to come down here. why isn't he even here yet?!"

Mr. Pail: "try to be patient, ma'am. the boy's lost his mother and his freedom all in one entire day."

Lucienne: "hey, uh, meestress? hahve you evair zought zat perhahps maybe ziss boy could be ze one to break ahpahrt ze spell?"

Were-Beast Jolie (angrily): "of course I have. I'm not even foolish."

Lucienne: "oh good. eef you fahll een lahve weeth heem ahnd he fahlls een lahve weeth you, ahnd ka-poof! ze spell ees brahken ahpahrt. we will be humahn ahgain by meednight."

Mr. Pail: "oh it's not even that easy, Lumiette. these things take plenty of time."

Lucienne: "but ze peenk rahse hahs ahlready begun weelteeng."

Were-Beast Jolie: "it's no use. he's so handsome. and I'm so-well take a real super good look at me!"

(Lucienne shrugs her shoulders. and she looks right at Mr. Pail.)

Mr. Pail: "oh. you need to help him to see past all of that."

Were-Beast Jolie: "I don't even know where to begin."

Mr. Pail: "well then. you can begin by making yourself more presentable. straighten up. try acting like a proper lady."

(Were-Beast Jolie sits up. then she straightens her face. formerly.)

Lucienne: "mais oui. when he cahmes een, give heem a dahsheeng ahnd debahnair smeeling fahce. cahme on. show me ze smeeling fahce."

(Were-Beast Jolie bears her ragged fangs. in a terrifying but yet real super hilarious grin.)

Mr. Pail: "but don't even terrify the poor boy."

Lucienne: "eempress heem weeth your rahpiair weelt."

Mr. Pail: "but be real super kind and gentle."

Lucienne: "showair heem weeth cahmpliments."

Mr. Pail: "but be most sincere."

Lucienne: "ahnd ahbahve ahll..."

Mr. Pail: "you need to learn how to control your temper!"/"you need to learn how to cahntrol your tempair!"

(the door creaks open. and Were-Beast Jolie wipes the silly wacky face off. and she looks to the door expectantly.)

Lucienne: "zere he hees!"

(Cogswolde enters.)

Cogswolde: "good evening, everybody."

(Were-Beast Jolie goes from expectant to anger.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "well? where is he?"

Cogswolde: "who? oh! the boy. yes. of course. the boy. well. actually, he's in the process of...uh...circumstances being what they really are. he's not even coming down here."

Were-Beast Jolie: "what did you just say?!"

Cogswolde: "he's not even coming down here."

Were-Beast Jolie: "we'll see about that!"

(Were-Beast Jolie races over on her way to Beau's bedroom. and Lucienne, Cogswolde and Mr. Pail hurry along behind.)

Cogswolde: "your ladyship! your gracefulness! your eminence! let's try not to be hasty here!"

Were-Beast Jolie (pounding on Beau's bedroom door): "I thought I've told you before to come down to the dinner meal table!"

Beau (from inside his bedroom): "I'm not even hungry!"

Were-Beast Jolie: "I'm the mistress of this castle! and I'm telling you to come down to the dinner meal table."

Beau (from inside his bedroom): "and I'm telling you. I'm not even hungry."

Were-Beast Jolie: "you're real super hungry if you say you're real super hungry!"

Beau (from inside his bedroom): "don't even be too ridiculous."

Were-Beast Jolie: "what did you just say?!"

Beau (from inside his bedroom): "you can't even go around ordering other people to go hungry. it doesn't even work like that."

Were-Beast Jolie: "yes. of course I can."

Beau (from inside his bedroom): "and besides. it's extremely rude and impolite."

Were-Beast Jolie: "oh? rude and impolite. is it? then how 'bout this? if you don't even come down to the dinner meal table, I'll drag you by the shoulders."

Lucienne "meestress, I could be wrahng. but zat may naht be ze best way to ween ze boy's ahffections."

Cogswolde: "please. try to be a proper lady."

Were-Beast Jolie: "but why's he being real super difficult? (She looks back at Beau's bedroom door.) why you being real super difficult?"

Beau (from inside his bedroom): "and why you being such a real super big mean bully?"

Were-Beast Jolie: "'cause I want you to come down to the dinner meal table!"

Beau (from inside his bedroom): "so you admit that you're being a real super big mean bully."

Mr. Pail: "take several deep breaths, mistress. take several deep breaths."

Were-Beast Jolie: "I'll give her one single chance. (She looks back at Beau's bedroom door again.) would you be real super kind hearted as to join me for a dinner meal?"

Cogswolde (clearing her throat): "we say the word please."

Were-Beast Jolie: "please?"

Beau (from inside his bedroom): "no thanks."

Were-Beast Jolie: "fine! then go ahead and starve yourself. if he's not eating here with me, then he's not eating here at all."

(Were-Beast Jolie makes her leave. on her way to her lair in the west wing. slamming a door. and causing one piece of the ceiling to fall on Lucienne.)

Mr. Pail: "that didn't even go well at all. did it?"

Cogswolde: "Lucienne. stand watch at the door and inform me at once. if there's the slightest change."

Lucienne: "you cahn count on me, mahn cahpeetahn."

Cogswolde: "well then. I guess we'd better go downstairs and begin cleaning everything up."

(the next scene goes to the interior of Were-Beast Jolie's lair in the west wing. and Were-Beast Jolie enters. destroying everything in her pathway.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "I ask him real super nicely. but he refuses. what a...what does he want me to do?! beg?! (He picks up the portable magic mirror.) show me the boy."

(the portable magic mirror shines brightly. and it glows blue. then it reveals Beau in his bedroom. speaking with Monsieur Boucher.)

Monsieur Boucher (in the portable magic mirror): "I know ze meestress cahn be temperahmentahl aht times like ziss one. but deep down, underneath ahll of zose furs, she ees naht really such a terreeble ahnd hahrreeble persahn. I would suggest you would give hair one seengle chahnce."

Beau (in the portable magic mirror, disturbed from the attack): "why should I? did she even give my mother one single chance? I wouldn't even give that monster one single chance if she was the final thing in the globe."

Monsieur Boucher (in the portable magic mirror): "well? no. but when you get to know her."

Beau (in the portable magic mirror): "well I'm not even gonna get to know her. and I'm not even gonna have anything to do with her."

(Were-Beast Jolie's stung by Beau's words.)

Were-Beast Jolie (setting down the portable magic mirror): "I'm only just pranking myself. he'll never see me as anything. but a terrifying monster. (another pink rose petal falls off the pink rose.) it's completely hopeless."

(Were-Beast Jolie puts her head in her hands. and she begins sobbing silently.)

Were-Beast Jolie: How long must this go on? this cruel trick of fate?

I simply made one careless wrong decision and then that wizard was gone

and left me in this state

an object of revulsion and derision hated

is there no one who can show me how to win the globe's forgiveness?

and the next scene goes to the exterior of Beau's bedroom. and the door creaks open. then Beau silently emerges. and behind the curtain are Lucienne and Pierre.)

Pierre: "oh nahn."

Lucienne: "oh oui."

Pierre: "oh nahn."

Lucienne: "oh oui. oui. oui."

Pierre: "I hahve been burnt by you befahre."

(Lucienne and Pierre have already emerged. and Pierre takes Lucienne in his arms. and all of a sudden, they both see Beau walking around down the hallways.)

Lucienne: "zut alors! he hahs emerged."

(the next scene goes to the kitchen and dining room. with Cogswolde, Mr. Pail and Jean Claude, who's now a cooking stove and baking oven.)

Mr. Pail: "come on, Claire. into the cupboard with your siblings."

(Mr. Pail helps Claire to get in the cupboard with her siblings.)

Claire: "but I'm not even tired."

Mr. Pail: "yes you are."

Claire: "no I'm not."

(Claire falls asleep. and Mr. Pail closes the cupboard door. and the next scene goes to Jean Claude.)

Jean Claude: "I wahrk real supair hahrd. ahnd I slahve ahll day ahnd eveneeng lahng. ahnd fahr whaht? a cookeeng clahss mahsterpiece gahne to wahste."

Mr. Pail: "oh quit your grousing, Jean Claude. it's been a real super long evening for all of us."

Cogswolde: "well then. if you ask me, he was only just being a bit stubborn. after all, the mistress did say the word please."

Mr. Pail: "but if the mistress doesn't even learn how to control that temper, she'll never even break apart the-"

(Beau enters. and Cogswolde cuts Mr. Pail off before he can say the word spell.)

Cogswolde: "splendid to see you out and about, Monsieur. (Lucienne comes hopping in.) I'm Cogswolde. the current head of the household. (she leans over to kiss his right hand. but Lucienne butts in front of her.) this is Lucienne."

Lucienne: "en chante, cherie."

Cogswolde (trying to speak around Lucienne. who's still kissing Beau's right hand.): "if there's absolutely anything...stop that! that we can...please! (finally shoving her outta the way) to make your stay more relaxing. (Lucienne burns Cogswolde's left hand.) yoooooooowch!"

Beau: "well. I'm a bit hungry."

Mr. Pail (to the other teapots and teacups): "you really are? you guys hear that? he's real hungry. stoke the fire flames. wake the China up. and break out the silverware."

(the fire flames on Jean Claude roars a bit to life. and the kitchen drawers open to reveal the silverware standing at attention.)

Cogswolde (secretively): "remember what the mistress only just said before."

Mr. Pail: "oh nonsense. I'm not even gonna let the poor boy go hungry."

Cogswolde (thinking that she's about to give the ultimate demand): "okay. fine. glass of ice cold water. crusts of garlic buttered bread sticks. then-"

Lucienne: "Cahgswahlde. I ahm quite surprised aht you. he ees naht our preesahnair. he ees our guest. we need to mahke heem feel welcahme here. (she looks right at Beau.) right zis way, mahnsieur."

Cogswolde: "well then keep it down. if the mistress finds out about this, it'll be our necks!"

Lucienne: "mais oui. of course. of course. but whaht ees a deennair meal weethout a beet of museec?"

(Lucienne begins out the swinging door. then she lets it close. and the door hits Cogswolde. and it sends her across the dining room. in a pan filled with what looks just like flapjack batter.)

Cogswolde: "music? really?"

(Beau's seated at the end of the long dining table. and Lucienne's on there. and the light shines on her as well too.)

Lucienne: "ma chere, Mahnsieur. eet ees weeth deepest pride pleasure ahnd greatest pride zat I welcahme you zis eveneeng. ahnd now, we eenvite you to relahx. let's ahll pull up a deening chair. just ahs ze deening room proudly presents to you...your deennair meal."

Lucienne: Be our guest, be our guest

Lucienne (continued): tie your napkin 'round your neck cherie

and we'll provide the rest

(the moving dining chair wraps a dining napkin around Beau. who takes it off. and places it on his lap. the dining chair's arms puts its hands on its waist. as if it were a bit angry and annoyed.)

Lucienne: soup du jour, hot hors d'oeuvres

why we only live to serve

Lucienne (continued): try the blue stuff

Lucienne: do naht believe me'

Beau (applauding): "yeah! bravo! that was real super thrilling, you guys."

Cogswolde: "why thanks a bunch, Monsieur. yes. of course. real super good show. wasn't it, everybody? (She looks right at her own face.) oh my goodness gracious. take a look at the time. now it's off to bed. off to bed."

Beau: "I couldn't even possibly go to bed now. this is my first time in this enchanted castle."

Cogswolde: "enchanted? who said anything about this castle being enchanted? (she takes a look at Lucienne.) it was you. wasn't it?"

Beau: "I've only just figured it out for myself. I'd like to have a look around. if it's okay with you guys."

Lucienne (in excitement): "oh! would you like ze grahnd tour?"

Lumiere (whispering to Cogsworth): "zis ees just like one of zose times befahre we becahme humahn ahgain."

Cogsworth: "right indeed."

Cogswolde: "wait just one minute! wait just one minute! I'm not really sure if it's such a real good idea. we can't even let him go poking around in certain places. if you know what I mean."

Beau (taking a look at Cogswolde): "I'm beginning to think perhaps maybe you can take me. I'm pretty sure you know everything there's to know about this castle."

Cogswolde (flattered): "well? actually, ah, yes. of course I do."

(the next scene goes to Beau, Lucienne and Cogswolde walking around with Sultana. and Cogswolde's lecturing.)

Cogswolde: "just as you can see. the pseudo facade was stripped away. to reveal a minimalist rococo design. note the universal inverted ceilings. this is yet another example of the neo-classic baroque period. and just as I always say, if it's not even baroque, don't even fix it. tee-hee. now then. where was I? (She turns over to find the heads of the suits of armor that have turned over to follow Beau.) just as you were! (They all snap frontwards.) now. if I can draw your attention to the flying buttresses above the-Monsieur?"

(Cogswolde turns back to the others. and she's one boy short. she sees Beau climbing up the grand staircase. she and Lucienne race over to him. and they both jump out. blocking his progress up the stair steps.)

Beau: "what's up there?"

Cogswolde: "where? up there? nothing. absolutely nothing of interest at all in the west wing. dusty, dul and truly boring."

(Lucienne's been shaking her head. but Cogswolde nudges her. and she nods her head in agreement.)

Beau: "oh. so that's the west wing."

Lucienne (looking right at Cogswolde): "real supair nice going!"

Beau: "I'm beginning to wonder what she's hiding up there."

Lucienne: "heeding? ze meestress ees heeding nahtheeng."

Beau: "then it won't even be forbidden."

(Beau steps over to them. but they both dash up and block him again.)

Cogswolde: "we think perhaps maybe, Monsieur would really love to see other things. we've got exquisite tapestries dating all the way back to-"

Beau (stepping over them again): "maybe later on."

Lucienne (with Cogswolde, again, dashing and blocking): "ze cahmmuneety gahrdens? or we ahre begeenneeng to sink perhahps maybe ze leebrahry room?"

Beau (now with real super incredible interest): "you've got a library room?"

Cogswolde (thrilled that she's found something to interest him): "why. yes. of course."

Lucienne: "weeth lahts of books."

Cogswolde: "gads of books."

Lucienne: "mountains of books."

Cogswolde: "wilderness forests of books."

Lucienne "cahscades..."

Cogswolde: "...of books."

Lucienne: "swahmps of books."

Cogswolde: "lots more books than you'll ever be able to read in your entire lifetime. books on every single subject ever studied. by every single author and illustrator. whoever set pen to paper."

(Lucienne and Cogswolde begin marching off. and Beau begins following them. but his curiosity overtakes him. and he turns back to the west wing. his excitement begins dwindling. when he enters the hallway leading to Were-Beast Jolie's lair. and just as he walks down the hallway, he stops to look in a wall mirror that's been shattered into several pieces. every single one reflecting his worried and concerned looks. he reaches the end of the hallway. and he finds the closed door with gargoyle handles. he takes one deep breath, then reaches out and he opens the door. the next scene goes to the interior of lair, where Beau begins exploring. he's truly shocked and surprised by everything he sees. he wanders around, looking and he knocks over the other table. but he catches it before it crashes to the floor. he turns his head and he sees a shredded portrait of Jolie in her human princess form on the walls. Beau reaches out and she lifts the shreds of the portrait to reveal Jolie in her human princess form. but however, for then he turns his head and he sees the pink rose under the bell jar. he walks over to it, his eyes transfixed. he reaches out, then lifts off the bell jar, leaving the pink rose unprotected. he reaches up, brushes back the strand of hair that's been repeatedly falling on his forehead, then reaches out to touch the pink rose. and just as he goes nears it, a shadow figure falls over him. Were-Beast Jolie's been on the balcony. and she sees him. she jumps back into the room, then slams the bell jar back on the pink rose. and she then turns her attention to Beau.)

Were-Beast Jolie (growing angrily): "why'd you come in here?"

Beau (backing away nervously): "I'm terribly sorry."

Were-Beast Jolie: "I've told you before not to come in here!"

Beau: "I didn't meant any harm!"

Were-Beast Jolie (angrily): "do you even realize what you could've done?!"

Beau (terrified and seeing Were-Beast Jolie thrashing at the non-living furniture): "please! stop! nooo!"

Were-Beast Jolie: "get outta here! get outta here!"

(Beau turns back and he escapes the west wing. and Were-Beast Jolie remains calm. finally realizing that she might've ruined her chances with him.)

Were-Beast Jolie: And in my twisted face

there's not the slightest trace of anything that even hints at kindness

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): and from my tortured shape

no comfort, no escape

I see but deep within is utter blindness

Were-Beast Jolie: hopeless as my dream dies

as the time flies

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): love a lost illusion

helpless, unforgiven

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): cold and driven to this sad conclusion

Were-Beast Jolie: no beauty could move me

no goodness improve me

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): no power on earth

if I can't love him

Were-Beast Jolie: no passion could reach me

no lesson could teach me

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): how I could have loved him

and make her love me too

Were-Beast Jolie: weIl I can't love him, then who?

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): long ago I should've seen

all the things I could have been

Were-Beast Jolie: careless and unthinking

I moved onward

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): no pain could be deeper

no life could be cheaper

Were-Beast Jolie: no point anymore, if I can't love him

no spirit could win me

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): no hope left within me

hope I could have loved him

Were-Beast Jolie: and that he'd set me free

but it's not to be

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): if I can't love him

Let the globe be done with me

(Beau reaches the stairway. and he grabs his cape. he races down the stairsteps. wrapping the cape around him. and racing past a confused Lucienne and Cogswolde.)

Lucienne: "wait! where you going?"

Beau: "a promise or no promise! I can't even stay even stay here for one minute or two."

Cogswolde: "no! wait! please! wait!"

(Lucienne tries to respond. but Beau slams the door behind him. she and Cogswolde both bow their heads in depression and sorrow. and the next scene goes to Beau outside in the wilderness forest on Petunia. he begins riding around through the wilderness forest. but Petunia comes to a stop. he looks up and he sees the wolves. he gasps in fear and alarm. then he pulls the reins. and he begins escaping. he runs over from side to side, making the wolves hit the trees. Petunia gallops out on a frozen pond. but, hers and Beau's weight collapse the ice. and the wolves chase him around into the water. and some of them begin drowning. but Petunia's able to get outta the water before anything serious could happen. she gallops into a clearing. but she becomes surrounded by more wolves. she bucks away, throwing Beau off. and wrapping the reins around a tree branch. the wolves begin their attack on Petunia. but Beau comes to her rescue. and he beats them away with a stick. one of the wolves grabs the stick in its mouth. and it breaks half of it off, leaving Beau defenseless. another one leaps at him, grabbing the corner of his cape. and dragging him to the ground. he looks up and he sees another wolf about to jump on him. it leaps and it gets caught in mid-air by Were-Beast Jolie. she throws the wolf away. then she stands behind them and Beau. they both lunge at one another. one of them rips a hole in Were-Beast Jolie's shoulder. and the others focus their attack on that spot. finally, Were-Beast Jolie throws another wolf against a tree, knocking it out. the others turn back. and they all run away in fear. Were-Beast Jolie turns back to Beau, looks right at him despairingly, then collapses on the ground. Beau, who's grateful to be alive and kicking, turns back to Petunia. and he begins getting on. but his conscience takes over. and he walks over to the fallen Were-Beast Jolie. the next scene goes to Beau and Petunia walking back to the castle. with Were-Beast Jolie on Petunia's back. the next scene cuts back to the interior of the living room. with Beau pouring hot warm water outta Mr. Pail. he soaks a rag in the hot warm water. then he turns over to Were-Beast Jolie. who's licking her injuries.)

Beau: "here now. don't even do that. (Were-Beast Jolie growls a bit at him. just as he tries to clean her injuries with his rag.) just...keep still."

(Beau touches the rag to the injuries. and Were-Beast Jolie growls and howls in pain. and the non-human castle servants who are watching, jump back into hiding from the outburst.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "that really hurts!"

Beau (in counterpoint): "well if you'd keep still, it wouldn't even hurt as much!"

Were-Beast Jolie: "well if you hadn't even run away from here, none of this would've happened!"

Beau: "well if you hadn't even terrified me, I wouldn't've run away from here!"

Were-Beast Jolie (opening her mouth to respond. but stops to think about a real super good line): "well you really shouldn't've been in the west wing!"

Beau: "well you really should learn how to control your temper! (Were-Beast Jolie raises her right hand to bring out another point. but she finds out she's got none. so she bows her head down again. and the castle servants emerge from hiding. just as Beau's already conquered the monstrous temper of Were-Beast Jolie. and Beau moves the rag closer to the injuries.) now keep still. this can sting a bit. (Were-Beast Jolie gives a surprised grunt. then she grits her teeth. just as the rag's applied.) and by the way, Jolie. thanks a bunch for saving my entire life."

Were-Beast Jolie (opening her eyes in surprise): "you're welcome, Beau."

Mr. Pail: "now that's more like it."

Cogswolde: "thank goodness."

Lucienne: "whaht a relief."

(the next scene goes back to the tavern. which of course is now empty. except for Giselle, Lovelle and Madame Katniss. who are sitting at one of the dining tables.)

Madame Katniss: "I don't even usually leave the asylum in the middle of the evening time. but they only just said you'd make it worth my while."

(Giselle pulls out a sack of golden coins. and she tosses it in front of her. she takes out one single piece and she scrapes it on her chin.)

Madame Katniss: "aaaaaahh. I'm paying real super close attention and listening."

Giselle: "it's like this. I've got my heart and mind set on going out with Beau. but he needs a bit of persuasion."

Lovelle (butting in): "turned her down real flat."

(Giselle slams another root beer mug on Lovelle's head.)

Giselle: "everybody knows his mother's a lunatic. she was in here this evening. raving about a were-beast in a castle."

Madame Katniss: "Maureen's completely harmless."

Giselle: "the point is, that Beau would even do anything to keep her from being locked away."

Lovelle: "yeah. and even go out with her."

(Giselle gives Lovelle another threatening look. and she ducks back underneath the carpet.)

Madame Katniss: "so you really want me to throw his mother into the asylum unless of course he agrees to go out with you? (Giselle and Lovelle both nod their heads in agreement.) oh. that's so despicable. I really love it!"

(the next scene goes to the interior of Beau and Maureen's cottage. and Maureen's packing to make her leave.)

Maureen: "if nobody's gonna help me out, then I'll go back there alone. yes. of course. is that everything? I don't even care what it takes. I'll go find that castle. and somehow, I'll get him outta there."

(Maureen leaves on her journey quest. and seconds later on, Giselle and Lovelle arrive with Madame Katniss. they all enter the cottage. looking for one of the residents.)

Giselle: "Beau? Maureen?"

Lovelle: "oh well. we're guessing it's not even gonna work after all."

(Giselle grabs Lovelle by her neck. and they both walk around outside.)

Giselle: "they both need to come back sometime sooner or later. and when they do, we'll be prepared for them. (she drops Lovelle in the snowbank by the stoop.) Lovelle. don't even move away from that spot. 'til Beau and his mother come back home safe and secure."

Lovelle: "but I-but I-ooooooooohhh brother."

(Lovelle pounds on the side of the cottage. and a pile of snow falls on her head. and the next scene goes back to the exterior of the castle. where Beau's playing around in the snow bank with Petunia and Sultana. and Were-Beast Jolie, Lucienne and Cogswolde watch from the balcony above.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "I've never even felt this way about anybody. (She begins looking real super excited.) I really wanna do something for him. (She begins looking discouraged.) but what?"

Cogswolde: "well? there's the usual things. a sword and a shield. a jacket and a pair of boots."

Lucienne: "ahh, no, no, no, no, no. eet needs to be sahmetheeng real supair special. sahmetheeng zat spahrks hees-wait just one meenute!"

(the next scene goes to the interior of the hallway. leading to the library room. and both Beau and Were-Beast Jolie are alone.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "Beau? there's something I'd like to show you. (she begins opening the door. but she stops a bit.) but first. you need to close your eyes. (Beau looks right at her questioningly.) it's a real super big surprise."

(Beau closes his eyes. and Were-Beast Jolie waves her right hand in front of him. then she opens the door. and she leads him in.)

Beau (entering the library room): "can I open them yet?"

Were-Beast Jolie: "not yet. wait here."

(Were-Beast Jolie walks away to draw back the curtains. and she does. and brilliant sunlight spills into the room. and Beau flinches reflexively. just as the light hits his face.)

Beau: "now can I open them?"

Were-Beast Jolie: "okay. now."

(Beau opens his eyes. and the camera pulls back to reveal a real super big library room. filled up with lots of books.)

Beau: "I can't even believe this. I've never seen so many books in my entire life."

Were-Beast Jolie: "you really like it?"

Beau: "it's real super thrilling!"

Were-Beast Jolie: "then it's all yours."

Beau: "thanks a bunch."

(the next scene goes to Beau and Were-Beast Jolie in the background. with the castle servants. including Claire in foreground. watching them.)

Mr. Pail: "well. would you look at that?"

Lucienne: "ha, ha! we knew eet would finahlly wahrk perfectly."

Claire: "what? what works perfectly?"

Cogswolde: "it's truly encouraging."

Pierre: "ees zis naht real supair exceeting?"

Claire: "but I didn't even see anything!"

Mr. Pail: "come along, Claire sweetie cakes. there's kitchen chores to be done in the kitchen."

Claire: "but what are they talking about, Daddy? what's going on around here?"

(the castle servants walk away. and the next scene goes to the breakfast meal table with Beau at one end and Were-Beast Jolie at the other. Beau's been served a breakfast meal. and just as he begins eating, he looks right at Were-Beast Jolie, gobbling up her yummy good food with no table manners whatsoever. Claire laughs a bit. but Mr. Pail shoots her an admonishing look. Beau turns away. and he tries to ignore it. but Claire comes to the rescue. she nudges the spoon with her nose-handle. and Were-Beast Jolie reaches out for it. Beau looks right at her in wonder. just as she tries to eat with the spoon. but she's got a bit of success. and finally, Beau puts down his spoon. and he lifts his dining bowl. just as if in a toasting tribute. Were-Beast Jolie looks right at the compromise. and she does the exact same. and they both begin sipping their breakfast meals outta their dining bowls. and the next scene goes to the courtyard where Beau and Were-Beast Jolie are feeding the wild birds.)

Beau: there's something sweet

and almost kind

Beau (continued): but she was mean and she was coarse and unrefined

Beau: but now she's dear

and so unsure

I wonder why I didn't see it there before

(Beau's trying to attract some wild birds to Were-Beast Jolie. who shoves a handful of birdseed at them. and finally, he takes a handful. and he gently spreads it out. creating a trail. one of them lands in her hands. and she looks up. real super thrilled.)

Were-Beast Jolie: he glanced this way

I thought I saw

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): and when we touched

he didn't shudder at my paw

Were-Beast Jolie: no it can't be

I'll just ignore

but then he's never looked at me that way before

(Beau ducks under a tree. leaving Were-Beast Jolie with the wild birds. he begins looking doubtful again. but he turns his head around the tree. and he laughs a bit. and Were-Beast Jolie's covered with wild birds.)

Beau: new, and a bit alarming

who'd have ever thought

that this could be

Beau (continued): true, that she's not the most charming

but there's something in her that I simply didn't see

(Beau throws a snowball at Were-Beast Jolie. who looks right at him proudly after the birds fly away. she begins gathering up a real super big pile of snow. and the next scene goes to the castle servants (including Claire) looking out the window at the two of them.)

Lucienne: who would hahve zought

Mr. Pail: well bless my soul

Cogswolde: and who'd have known

Mr. Pail: well who indeed

Lucienne: who would hahve guessed zey would cahme tahgethair on zeir own

Mr. Pail: it's so peculiar

Lucienne, Mr. Pail and Cogswolde: we'll wait and see

a few days more

Lucienne, Mr. Pail and Cogswolde: there may be something there that wasn't there before

(the next scene goes to the living room. where Beau sits in front of the fireplace. and he reads to Were-Beast Jolie. and the servants (including Claire) watch from the doorway.)

Cogswolde: yes perhaps there's something there that wasn't there before

Claire: "what are you guys talking about?"

Mr. Pail: there may be something there that wasn't there before

Claire: "what's there, Daddy?"

Mr. Pail: "I'll tell you when you're a bit older."

(the next scene goes to the interior of Were-Beast Jolie's lair. she's in the wash tub. getting all cleaned up for the real super big evening with Beau. and Lucienne's with him.)

Lucienne: "zis eveneeng ees zis eveneeng."

Were-Beast Jolie: "I'm not really sure if I can do this."

Lucienne: "you do naht need to be teemid. you need to be bahld ahnd dahreeng."

Were-Beast Jolie: "bold and daring."

(Were-Beast Jolie emerges from the wash tub. and she shakes herself dry.)

Lucienne: "zere will be lahts of museec. rahmahnteec cahndlelight. prahvided by myself. ahnd when ze time ees ahbsahlutely right, you will cahnfess your lahve."

Were-Beast Jolie (inspired): "yes. of course. I-I-can-no. I can't."

Lucienne: "you cahre fahr ze boy. dahn't you?"

Were-Beast Jolie: "more than anything."

Lucienne: "well zen. you must tell heem. (the jacket rack's been trimming Were-Beast Jolie's hair. and it finishes. and it steps back.) viola! you look real supair-"

Were-Beast Jolie: "stupid and pathetic."

Lucienne: "naht quite ze wahrds I wahs lookeeng fahr. I ahm begeenneeng to sink perhahps maybe off ze tahp."

(the jacket rack begins cutting and trimming again. and Cogswolde enters, clearing her throat.)

Cogswolde: "your gentleman awaits."

(the next scene goes to the grand staircase. where Beau descends from the west wing in a fancy looking tuxedo. he reaches the landing. and he takes a look at Were-Beast Jolie. who's standing at the top of the stair steps. in the shiny glittering ballroom gown that her mother, Belle, wore before in the original classic Beauty and the Beast (1991). she's nudged by Lucienne from behind the curtain. and she descends. and she meets Beau at the landing. arm in arm, they both descend the final section of the stair steps. and they both continue on their way to the dinner meal table. stopped momentarily by Sultana. and Mr. Pail sings from the cart, being pushed by Mrs. Potts with Chip following her behind. with Claire on board.)

Mr. Pail: tale as old as time

true as it can be

Mr. Pail (continued): barely even friends

then somebody bends

Mr. Pail: unexpectedly

Mr. Pail (continued): just a little change

small to say the least

Mr. Pail: both a little scared

neither one prepared

handsome and the were-beast

(Beau and Were-Beast Jolie have already moved into the ballroom. where they both move into the dance off sequence. Were-Beast Jolie looks over at Lucienne and Cogswolde for their approval. and Mr. Pail and Claire are in the ballroom on their cart.)

Mr. Pail: ever just the same

ever a surprise

Mr. Pail (continued): ever as before

ever just as sure

Mr. Pail: as the sun will rise

Mr. Pail (continued): tale as old as time

tune as old as song

Mr. Pail: bittersweet and strange

finding you can change

learning you were wrong

Mr. Pail (continued): certain as the sun

rising in the east

Mr. Pail: tale as old as time

song as old as rhyme

handsome and the were-beast

Mr. Pail (continued): tale as old as time

song as old as rhyme

handsome and the were-beast.

Mr. Pail (looking right at Claire. who's yawning a bit): "off to the cupboard with you now, Claire. it's past your bedtime."

Mrs. Potts (looking right at Chip. who's yawning a bit): "Chip. off to bed with you now too, my dear."

(Claire slides off the end of the cart. and Chip walks around upstairs all the way to his bedroom. but Claire comes back for one final look. and Beau and Were-Beast Jolie are out on the balcony. under a starry evening.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "Beau? you bright and cheerful here with me?"

Beau: "yes. of course I am."

(Beau looks over at the distance.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "well? what is it?"

Beau (looking right at Were-Beast Jolie desperately): "if only I could see my mother again. just for one minute. I really miss her more than anything."

Were-Beast Jolie: "well? there's another way. (the next scene goes to Were-Beast Jolie's lair. and Were-Beast Jolie gives Beau the portable magic mirror.) this portable mirror can show you anything. anything you really wish to see."

Beau (looking right at the portable magic mirror): "I'd like to see my mother. please. (the portable magic mirror shines into life. and Beau turns his head away. just as it flashes brightly. then it reveals Maureen, fallen in the wilderness forest, coughing a bit and lost. Beau's now shocked and horrified. and Were-Beast Jolie looks right at him with concern.) Mother! dear oh dear. she's terribly sick. she might be dying. and she's left out there alone."

(Were-Beast Jolie turns. then she looks right at the pink rose in deep thought.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "then...then you need to go to her."

Beau: "what did you just say?"

Were-Beast Jolie: "I'm releasing you. you're not even my prisoner any longer."

Beau (in surprise and amazement): "you really mean I'm finally free at last?"

Were-Beast Jolie: "yes. of course you are."

Beau: "thanks a bunch. (He looks right at the portable magic mirror.) hang on, Mother. I'm on my way."

(Beau turns to make his leave. then he turns back. and he pushes the portable magic mirror back to Were-Beast Jolie.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "take it with you. so you'll always have some ways to look back and remember me by."

Beau: "thanks a bunch for understanding how much she really needs me."

(Beau turns to make his leave. and Were-Beast Jolie looks down in depression and heartbreak. he touches his right hand to her left cheek. and he rushes out. and Cogswolde enters the room.)

Cogswolde: "well, your highness? I need to say that everything's going only just peachy. I knew you've had it in you."

Were-Beast Jolie (depressingly): "I let him go."

Cogswolde: "yes. of course. how splen-wait. what? how could you do that?"

Were-Beast Jolie: "I've had to."

Cogswolde: "yes. of course. but why?"

Were-Beast Jolie: "'cause I really love him more than anything."

(the next scene goes back to Cogswolde telling the other castle servants about Were-Beast Jolie's decision.)

All Three Castle Servants (except Cogswolde): "she did whaaat?!"

Cogswolde: "yes. of course. I'm afraid it's true."

Claire: "he's going away?"

Lucienne: "but she wahs real supair clahse."

Mr. Pail: "after all of this time. she's finally learned how to love."

Lucienne: "zat ees eet zen! zat should really break ahpahrt ze spell."

Mr. Pail: "but it's not even enough. he needs to really love her in return."

Cogswolde: "and now it's way too late."

(the next scene goes to Were-Beast Jolie watching Beau leaving from above.)

Were-Beast Jolie: No spell has been broken

no words have been spoken

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): no point anymore if he can't love me

no hope she would do so

Were-Beast Jolie: no dream to pursue

so I looked to myself

despise all the things I see

Were-Beast Jolie (continued): for I know that he cannot set me free

let the world be done with me

(meanwhile, Beau's out in the cold snowy weather on Petunia.)

Beau: "Mother! Mother! (He looks right at Maureen. who's now unconscious.) egad!"

(Beau, Petunia and Maureen return back home to the cottage. and Azrael, who's still waiting, is still disguised as a snow-lady.)

Azrael: "oh! they're back."

(fade to a black screen. point of view of Maureen. opening her eyes. seeing Beau.)

Maureen: "Beau? is that really you, my dear?"

Beau: "everything's okay, Mother. I'm home now."

Maureen: "I thought for sure I'd never even see you again."

Beau: "I really missed you more than anything."

Maureen: "but the were-beast. how'd you escape?"

Beau: "who? you mean Jolie? I didn't even escape. she let me go."

Maureen: "you mean that terrible and horrible were-beast?"

Beau: "but Jolie's completely different now. she's already changed."

(there's a sound coming from Beau's travel pack. and the flap opens up. and the portable magic mirror falls out. with Claire rolling out to a stop on it.)

Claire: "hi there, you guys!"

Beau: "wow! a stowaway."

Maureen: "why hello there, little sweet girl. I didn't even think I'd ever see you again."

(Claire looks right at Beau with a look of question on her face.)

Claire: "Beau? why'd you go away? don't you even like us any longer?"

Beau: "oh, Claire. of course I do. it's only just that-(he hears a knocking at the front door. and he opens it. and Madame Katniss stands on the stoop.) can I help you out here?"

Madame Katniss: "I've come to collect your mother."

Beau: "my mother?"

Madame Katniss: "don't worry about it, kind sir. we'll take real super good care of her."

(Madame Katniss steps aside. to show the asylum behind her.)

Beau: "My mother's not even crazy."

Lovelle (emerging from the crowd): "she was raving like a lunatic. we've all heard her. didn't we?"

Bystanders: "yeeeaah!"

Beau: "no! I won't even let you!"

(Maureen's emerged from the cottage.)

Maureen: "Beau?"

Lovelle: "Maureen. tell us again, elderly lady. just how big was the were-beast?"

Maureen: "well? she was...that is...enormous. I'd say at least seven. no more like nine feet."

(the entire crowd (except Beau) begins laughing at Maureen.)

Lovelle: "well. you don't even get much crazier than that."

Maureen: "it's really true. I'm telling you."

(Madame Katniss waves her arms. and the orderlies move in. and they pick up Maureen.)

Lovelle: "get her outta here!"

Maureen: "let go of me!"

(Giselle's been watching from the sides. standing near Madame Katniss.)

Beau (taking a look at Madame Katniss): "no! you can't even do this."

Giselle: "tsk, tsk, tsk. poor Beau. it's a shame about your mother."

Beau: "you know she's not even crazy, Giselle."

Giselle: "hmm. I might be able to clear up this misunderstanding. only if-"

Beau: "only if what?"

Giselle: "only if you go out with me."

Beau: "wait. what?"

Giselle: "one little word, Beau. that's all it really takes."

Beau: "never!"

Giselle: "have it your way then."

(Giselle turns and walks away slowly. playing hard to get.)

Maureen (being thrown into the asylum): "Beau? (He races back into the cottage.) let go of me!"

Beau (coming back out with the portable magic mirror): "my mother's not even crazy! and I can even prove it! (he looks right at the portable magic mirror.) show me Jolie."

(the portable magic mirror shines again, showing Were-Beast Jolie. howling out loud.)

Woman Number Three: "is she dangerous?"

Beau: "no. of course not. she'd never hurt anybody. I know she looks monstrous. but she's kind hearted and gentle. she's my best friend for life and one true love."

Giselle: "if I didn't even know any better, I'm beginning to think you've had emotions for this monster."

Beau: "she's no monster, Giselle. you are!"

Giselle "he's only just as crazy as the elderly lady. (she grabs the portable magic mirror from Beau's right hand.) the were-beast will make off with your kids! she'll come after them in the evening time!"

Beau: "nooooo!"

Giselle: "we're not even safe and secure 'til her head's mounted on my wall! I'd say we'd kill off the were-beast!"

(The mob of villagers cheer Antoinette on. and they all repeat the words: "kill her off!")

Man Number One: We're not safe until she's dead

Man Number Two: she'll come stalking us at night

Woman Number One: set to sacrifice our children

to her monstrous appetite

Man Number Three: she'll wreak havoc in our village

if we let her wander free

Giselle: so it's time to take some action, girls

it's time to follow me

(Giselle throws a torch in the haystack. creating an instant bonfire. she begins prancing around it. warning the dangers of the were-beast.)

Giselle (continued): through the mist, through the woods

through the darkness and the shadows

Giselle: it's a nightmare but it's one exciting ride

Giselle (continued): say a prayer, then we're there

at the drawbridge of a castle

and there's something truly terrible inside

Giselle: it's a were-beast

she's got fangs, razor sharp ones

Giselle (continued): massive paws, killer claws

for the feast

(the portable magic mirror shows the face of Were-Beast Jolie to Lovelle. which of course Giselle exaggerates about.)

Giselle: hear her roar, see her foam

but we're not coming home 'til she's dead

good and dead, kill the were-beast

Beau (interjecting): "no! I'm not even gonna let you do this!"

Giselle: "if you're not even with all of us, you're against all of us. bring the elderly lady."

Maureen: "get your hands away from me!"

(Giselle throws Beau and Maureen into the basement. and she bolts the door.)

Giselle: "we can't even have them racing off to warn the were-creature."

Beau: "get us outta here!"

Giselle (turning back to the entire crowd): "we'll rid the village of this were-beast. now who's with me?"

Entire Crowd: "we all are!"

Mob of Villagers: light your torch, mount your horse

Giselle: screw your courage to the sticking place

Mob of Villagers: we're counting on Giselle to lead the way

Mob of Villagers (continued): through a mist, to a wood

where within a haunted castle

something's lurking that you don't see every day

(Giselle leads the mob of villagers through the entire village town and out in the wilderness forest. where they begin chopping down trees in preparation for their assault on Were-Beast Jolie's castle.)

Mob of Villagers: it's a were-beast, one as tall as a mountain

we won't rest 'til she's good and deceased

Mob of Villagers (continued): Sally forth, tally-ho

grab your sword, grab your bow

Mob of Villagers: praise the lord and here we go

Giselle: "we'll put siege to her castle! and bring back her head!"

(the next scene goes back to the interior of the basement where Beau's prying at the window with a stick.)

Beau: "I need to warn Jolie. this is my entire fault. Mother. what are we gonna do?"

Maureen: "now, my dear. we'll think about something."

(cut back to Claire looking out the window. she sees a contraption with an axe on it.)

Claire: "I've got it!"

(the next scene goes back to the mob of villagers.)

Mob of Villagers (continued): we don't like, what we don't

understand, it frankly scares us

Mob of Villagers: and this monster is mysterious at least

Mob of Villagers (continued): bring your guns, bring your knives

save your children and your wives

we'll save our village and our lives

we'll kill the were-beast

(the next scene goes back to the castle servants.)

Cogswolde: "I knew it. I knew it was completely foolish to get our hopes up."

Lucienne: "I ahm begeenneeng to sink perhahps maybe eet would hahve been bettair eef he nevair cahme here aht ahll."

(Sultana emerges barking a bit. and they all race over to the window. expecting Beau's return.)

Lucienne: "could eet really be?"

Mr. Pail: "is it really he?"

Lucienne (realizing that the mob of villagers isn't even Beau): "sacre bleu! cahstle eenvaders."

Cogswolde: "enroachers!"

Mr. Pail (noticing Giselle): "and they've got the portable mirror!"

Cogswolde (issuing orders): "warn the mistress. if it's a battle fight they want, we'll be prepared for them. (she turns away from the window.) now who's with me? (the door's slammed. just as the rest of Were-Beast Jolie's servants leave her behind.) aah!"

Giselle: "take whatever type of weapon you find. but remember. the were-beast's mine!"

(cut back to the stairway where Were-Beast Jolie's servants are marching down to do the battle fight against the mob of villagers.)

Were-Beast Jolie's Servants: hearts ablaze, banners high

we go marching into battle

Were-Beast Jolie's Servants (continued): unafraid, although the danger just increased

Mob of Villagers: raise the flag, sing the song

here we come, we're fifty strong

Mob of Villagers (continued): and fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong

Mob of Villagers: let's kill off the were-beast.

(the next scene goes to the interior of Were-Beast Jolie's lair. where Mr. Pail's briefing her.)

Mr. Pail: "pardon me, mistress."

Were-Beast Jolie: "leave me in peacefulness."

Mr. Pail: "but, ma'am. the castle's under attack."

Mob of Villagers: kill off the were-beast. kill off the were-beast

(Were-Beast Jolie's servants have already tried blocking the door. but it's being bashed in by the mob of villagers.)

Lucienne: "zis ees naht wahrkeeng."

Pierre: "oh, Lucienne. we must do sahmetheeng ahbout eet."

Lucienne: "wait! I have got eet."

Mob of Villagers (continued): kill off the were-beast. kill off the were-beast

(the next scene goes back to Were-Beast Jolie's lair.)

Mr. Pail: "what should we do, mistress?"

Were-Beast Jolie: "it doesn't even matter anyhow. just let them come in."

Mob of Villagers: kill off the were-beast. kill off the were-beast. kill off the were-beast.

(the mob of villagers finally succeed in breaking in. and they all find the grand entrance. filled up with assorted pieces of furniture, teacups, candlesticks, feather-dusters and wind-up clocks. they all tiptoe in. and Lovelle unknowingly picks up Lucienne.)

Lucienne: "nooooooow!"

(all of Were-Beast Jolie's servants spring into life. attacking their human enemies. and the next scene goes back to Beau's cottage. where Claire's already prepared the contraption.)

Claire: "oh yeah! here we go."

Maureen (looking out from the window. and seeing the axe): "what the dare-devil? Beau! look out!"

(the contraption crashes into the basement door. and a dark red cloud of smoke poofs out. and Beau and Maureen emerge from the wreckage. to find Claire swinging around on a loose spring.)

Claire: "you guys really need to try this thing."

(the next scene goes back to Were-Beast Jolie's castle. where the army fight continues. and meanwhile, Giselle's already broken away from the mob of villagers. and she's searching for Were-Beast Jolie. Beau, Maureen, Petunia and Claire are making their way to Were-Beast Jolie's castle. and finally. the castle invaders are chased out. and Were-Beast Jolie's servants are now celebrating their victory.)

Cogswolde: "and stay out! don't ever come back to this castle again."

(Lucienne pulls over Cogswolde. and she kisses her on her forehead. but Cogswolde shakes it off. and the next scene goes to Giselle. who finds Were-Beast Jolie's lair. she raises her crossbow. and she takes aim.)

Giselle: "why hello there, were-beast. I'm Antoinette. Beau's one true love."

Were-Beast Jolie: "oh. didn't he even tell you? well. no matter."

Giselle (preparing to release one arrow): "Beau sends you this. with all of his love!"

(Were-Beast Jolie's stabbed by one of Giselle's arrows. causing her to growl and howl out loud. and Giselle races over to her. and they both fly out the window. on the balcony. where it begins raining outside.)

Giselle: "mwa-ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"

(Giselle corners Were-Beast Jolie on the edge of the rooftop. and Were-Beast Jolie sits there in despair.)

Giselle: "get up! get up! get up! what seems to be the matter, were-beast? are you way too kind hearted and gentle to fight back at me?"

(Were-Beast Jolie looks down. ignoring Giselle. and Giselle walks into the foreground. and she breaks off a piece of the rooftop. and she's about to smash it on Were-Beast Jolie's head. 'til Beau's voice drifts up. he's on the bridge and shouting out loud to her to get her to stop doing what she's doing.)

Beau (off screen): "noooo!"

Were-Beast Jolie (hearing his voice and giving her a new entire life): "Beau."

Beau: "no! Giselle! stop! don't!"

(Giselle swings down at Were-Beast Jolie. but she catches the weapon in her right hand. Were-Beast Jolie rises up. and she growls and snarls in Giselle's face. they both proceed through an army fight on the rooftop. and finally, Were-Beast Jolie takes a hiding place among the gargoyles in the darkness. meanwhile, Beau enters Were-Beast Jolie's castle on the ground.)

Beau: "let's go, Petunia!"

Giselle: "come out here and fight against me! were you really in love with him, were-beast? did you even think he'd even want a certain somebody like you? when he had a certain somebody like me? (Were-Beast Jolie's been provoked quite enough. she emerges from her hiding place. and the battle fight continues.) it's over now, were-beast! Beau's mine. (but this time, however, Were-Beast Jolie picks up Giselle by her neck. and she holds her out over the edge of the rooftop. and she pleads with her.) put me down! put me down! please! I'll do anything! only just about anything."

(Were-Beast Jolie's anger melts away from her face. and her look of compassion returns. and she pulls Giselle back on the rooftop.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "get outtake here!"

(Were-Beast Jolie shoves Giselle to the ground. above, Beau comes out on the balcony.)

Beau: "Jolie!"

Were-Beast Jolie: "Beau! (she begins climbing the tower. 'til she reaches the balcony. and she hangs over to the side.) Beau? you came back to me."

(Beau and Were-Beast Jolie look passionately at one another. but the minute's interrupted when Giselle sneaks up behind her. and she stabs her in the back. then Were-Beast Jolie howls out loud in pain. and Beau's not really sure what to do around here. Giselle pulls the knife out. and she swings back for another shot. and Were-Beast Jolie begins falling over, knocking Giselle off her balance and causing her to fall all the way down to her death scene. Beau reaches frontwards. and he pulls Were-Beast Jolie back. while Giselle falls off to her passing. Beau helps the now injured Were-Beast Jolie up the balcony. where she's lying down on the floor. Lucienne, Cogswolde and Mr. Pail rush out. but they all stay outta sight.)

Were-Beast Jolie: "you came back to me."

Beau: "of course I came back to you. I couldn't even let them. this is my entire fault. if only I came here sooner."

Were-Beast Jolie: "I'm beginning to think...perhaps maybe...it's...better...this way."

Beau: "don't even speak like that. you'll be okay. we're together as always now. everything's gonna be only just perfectly fine. you'll see."

Were-Beast Jolie: "at least I've got to see you. one more time."

(Beau pulls Were-Beast Jolie's right were-beast hand up his right cheek. she holds it there for one minute. then she drops it. her head falls back. and her eyes close. Beau drops Were-Beast Jolie's right were-beast hand. and he puts his hands to his mouth. he can't even believe this happened to her after the army fight against Giselle.)

Beau: We are home

we are where we shall be forever

Beau (continued): trust in me

for you know I won't run away

from today

Beau: this is all that I need

and all that I need to say

Beau (continued): don't you know how you've changed me?

Beau: strange how I finally see

I found home

you're my home

stay with me.

Beau: "no! please! don't leave me, Jolie! (he begins sobbing silently.) I really love you more than anything."

(the camera zooms in on Lucienne, Cogswolde and Mr. Pail. who watch the final pink rose petal fall off the pink rose. they all look down on the floor. and Cogswolde puts her right arm around Mr. Pail's spout. and it cuts back to Beau and Were-Beast Jolie. the rainstorm continues. but one beam of light falls all the way down like a shooting star. then another one comes by. and another one. and another one. and Beau finally notices what's happening. Were-Beast Jolie's were-beast hands transform back into human princess hands. her were-beast feet transform back into human princess feet. her were-beast tail disappears. and her were-beast head transforms back into a human princess head. she's now fully human.)

Jolie: "Beau. it's me. I was the were-beast."

Beau: "oh, Jolie. it's really you."

(Beau and Jolie begin kissing one another. and a fireworks display begins exploding and whistling around them. the dark gloom surrounding Jolie's castle disappears. revealing the clear blue skies. Jolie's castle's now back to the way it was before. Lucienne, Cogswolde and Mr. Pail are now back to their regular human selves again.)

Jolie: "Lucienne! Cogswolde! oh! Mr. Pail! take a real super good look at all of us."

Claire (riding in on Sultana): "Daddy! Daddy!"

(Claire transforms back into her regular human self. and Sultana transforms back into her regular shih-tzu self.)

Mr. Pail (picking up his little sweet girl): "oh my gosh! you're back to being a little human girl again."

Lucienne: "we ahre finahlly humahn ahgain!"

(the next scene goes to Beau and Jolie dancing it off with one another again.)

Lucienne: "ah. l'amour."

Cogswolde: "well, Lucienne? should we let bygones be bygones?"

Lucienne: "why of course. I hahve tahld you befahre he could break ahpahrt ze spell."

Cogswolde: "I beg your pardon. but I simply believe I've told you before."

Lucienne: "no you deed naht. I hahve tahld you befahre."

Cogswolde: "you most certainly didn't, you pompous parrafin-headed pea brain!"

Lucienne: "en garde! you pahcket wahtch lahdy!"

(Lucienne takes off one of her gloves. and she smacks Cogswolde in her face with it. and the next scene goes to Mr. Pail, Claire and Maureen. who begins to sniff a bit with teardrops of cheerfulness.)

Claire: "are they really gonna live cheerfully ever after, Daddy?"

Mr. Pail: "why of course, Claire. of course."

Claire (looking bright and cheerful for a bit. but then a bit confused): "am I still gonna need to fall asleep in the cupboard?"

(they all begin laughing a bit.)

Entire Crowd (except Beau, Jolie, Maureen and Claire): Certain as the sun

rising in the east

Entire Crowd (except Beau, Jolie, Maureen and Claire) (continued): tale as old as time

song as old as rhyme

handsome and the were-beast

Entire Crowd (except Beau, Jolie, Maureen and Claire): tale as old as time

song as old as rhyme

handsome and the were-beast
