BELLE
Little town, it's a quiet village.
Ev'ry day like the one before.
Little town, full of little people
waking up to say,TOWNSFOLK
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!
Bonjour!BELLE
There goes the baker with his tray, like always,
the same old bread and rolls to sell.
Ev'ry morning just the same
Since the morning that we came
to this poor provincial town.BAKER
Good morning, Belle!BELLE
Good morning, Monsieur!BAKER
Where are you off to?BELLE
The bookshop.
I just finished the most wonderful story about a beanstalk... and an ogre and a...BAKER
That's nice.
Marie!
The baguettes!
Hurry up!TOWNSFOLK
Look, there she goes. The girl is strange, no question.
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?
Never part of any crowd,
'cause her head's up on some cloud.
No denying she's a funny girl, that Belle!MAN I
Bonjour.WOMAN I
Good day.MAN I
How is your fam'ly?WOMAN II
Bonjour.MAN II
Good day.WOMAN I
How is your wife?WOMAN III
I need six eggs!WOMAN IV
That's too expensive.BELLE
There must be more than this provincial life!BOOKSELLER
Ah, Belle!BELLE
Good morning.
I've come to return the book I borrowed.BOOKSELLER
Finished already?BELLE
Oh, I couldn't put it down!
Have you got anything new?BOOKSELLER
Ha, ha. Not since yesterday!BELLE
That's alright. I'll borrow... this one.BOOKSELLER
That one? But you've read it twice!BELLE
Well, it's my favorite!
Far-off places, dashing sword fights, magic spells, a prince in disguise...BOOKSELLER
If you like it all that much, it's yours!BELLE
But, sir!BOOKSELLER
I insist.BELLE
Well, thank you!
Thank you very much!TOWNSFOLK
Look, there she goes. That girl is so peculiar.
I wonder if she's feeling well.
With a dreamy far-off look
and her nose stuck in a book,
what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle!BELLE
Oh, isn't it amazing?
It's my fav'rite part because you'll see.
Here's where she meets Prince Charming,
but she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three.WOMAN
Now, it's no wonder that her name means "beauty."
Her looks have got no parallel.MAN
But behind that fair façade,
I'm afraid she's rather odd.
Very diff'rent from the rest of us.TOWNSFOLK
She's nothing like the rest of us.
Yes, she's diff'rent from the rest of us is Belle.GASTON
Right from the moment when I met her, saw her,
I said, "She's gorgeous," and I fell.
Here in town there's only she
who is beautiful as me,
so I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle.SILLY GIRLS
Look there he goes! Isn't he dreamy?
Monsieur Gaston! Oh, he's so cute!
Be still, my heart! I'm hardly breathing!
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute!WOMAN I
Bonjour!GASTON
Pardon.BELLE
Good day.WOMAN II
Mas oui!WOMAN III
You call this bacon?WOMAN IV
What lovely grapes!MAN I
Some cheese.WOMAN V
Ten yards.MAN II
One pound.GASTON
'Scuse me!CHEESE MERCHANT
I'll get the knife.GASTON
Please, let me through!WOMAN II
This breadWOMAN I
Those fishWOMAN II
it's stale.WOMAN I
they smell!MEN
Madame's mistaken.WOMEN
Well, maybe so.BELLE
There must be more than this provincial life.TOWNSFOLK
Good morning!GASTON
Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife!TOWNSFOLK
Oh, good morning!Look, there she goes. A girl who's strange but special.
A most peculiar mad'moiselle.WOMEN
It's a pity and a sin.MEN
She doesn't quite fit in,TOWNSFOLK
'cause she really is a funny girl.
A beauty but a funny girl.
She really is a funny girl, that Belle!

And ev'ry daughter tends to say her father's tops.MAURICE
She pulls out all the stops
to praise him.BOTH

Hoping, scheming just one theme:
Will you be a wife?
Will you be some he-man's property?
Good news!
That he-man's me!This equation, girl plus man,

On occasion women can
have their uses too.
Mainly, to extend the fam'ly tree.

Dogs?GASTON
No, Belle! Strapping boys... like me!BELLE
Imagine that.GASTON
I can see that we will share
all that love implies.
We shall be the perfect pair;
rather like my thighs.
You are face to face with destiny!
All roads lead to...

Yes, I made the choice.
For Papa, I will stay.
But I don't deserve to lose
my freedom in this way,
you monster!If you think that what you've
done is right, well then
you're a fool!
Think again!Is this home?
Is this where I should learn to be happy?
Never dreamed
that a home could be so dark and cold.
I was told
ev'ry day in my childhood:
Even when we grow old,
home will be where the heart is.
Never were words so true!
My heart's far,
far away.
Home is too.Is this home?
Is this what I must learn to believe in?
Try to find
something good in this tragic place.
Just in case
I should stay here forever
held in this empty space.
Oh, but that won't be easy.
I know the reason why:
My heart's far,
far away.
Home's a life.What I'd give
to return
to the life that I knew lately.
And to think
I complained
of that dull provincial town.Is this home?
Am I here for a day or forever?
Shut away
from the world until who knows when?
Oh, but then,
as my life has been altered once,
It can chance again.
Build higher walls around me,
change ev'ry lock and key.
Nothing lasts,
nothing holds
all of me.
My heart's far,
far away,
home and free!

In a spitting match, nobody spits like Gaston.GASTON

And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs

And in my twisted face
there's not the slightest trace
of anything that even hints of kindness.
And from my tortured shape,
no comfort, no escape.
I see, but deep within is utter blindness.Hopeless, as my dream dies.
As the time flies,
love a lost illusion.
Helpless, unforgiven.
Cold and driven
to this sad conclusion.No beauty could move me,
no goodness improve me.
No power on Earth,
if I can't love her.No passion could reach me,
no lesson could teach me
how I could have loved her
and make her love me too.
If I can't love her, then who?Long ago, I should have seen
all the things I could have been.
Careless and unthinking,
I moved onward!No pain could be deeper.
No life could be cheaper.
No point anymore,
if I can't love her.No spirit could win me.
No hope left within me,
hope I could have loved her
and that she's set me free.But it's not to be.
If I can't love her,
let the world be done with me.

I never thought I'd leave behind
my childhood dreams,
but I don't mind,
For now I love the world I see.
No change of heart,
a change in me.For in my dark despair
I slowly understood.
My perfect world out there
had disappeared for good,But in its place I feel
a truer life begin.
And it's so good and real,
It must come from within.And I,
I never thought I'd leave behind
my childhood dreams,
but I don't mind.
I'm where and who I want to be.
No change of heart,
a change in me.No change of heart,
a change in me.

He'll come stalking us at night.WOMAN
Set to sacrifice our children to his monstrous appetite.MAN III
He'll wreak havoc on our village if we let him wander free.GASTON
So it's time to take some action, boys.
It's time to follow me.Through the mist, through the wood.
Through the darkness and the shadows.
it's a nightmare, but it's one exciting ride!
Say a prayer, and you're there,
at the drawbridge of a castle
and there's something truly terrible inside.It's a beast! He's got fangs, razor-sharp ones!
Massive paws,
killer claws for the feast.
Hear him roar! See him foam!
But we're not coming home
'til he's dead-- good and dead! Kill the beast!BELLE
I won't let you do this!GASTON
Try and stop us.BELLE
Oh, Papa. This is all my fault. I have to go back and warn him.MAURICE
I'm coming with you.BELLE
No!MAURICE
I lost you once! I won't lose you again!BELLE
Then we better hurry.GASTON
We'll rid the village of this beast. Who's with me?MOB
I am!
I am!
I am!Light your torch, mount your horse!
GASTON
Screw your courage to the sticking place!MOB
We're counting on Gaston to lead the way!MOB WOMEN
Through a mist, through a wood,
where within a haunted castle
something's lurking that you don't see ev'ryday.MOB
It's a beast! One as tall as a mountain.
We won't rest 'til he's good and deceased.
Sally forth! Tally ho!
Grab your sword! Grab your bow!
Praise the Lord and here we go.We don't like what we don't
understand. In fact it scares us.
And this monster is mysterious at least.
Bring your guns! Bring your knives!
Save your children and your wives!
We'll save the village and our lives.
We'll kill the beast!GASTON
Cut down a tree-- and make it a big one! Take whatever booty you can find. But remember, the beast is mine!MOB
Hearts ablaze, banners high,
we go marching into battle,
unafraid, although the danger's just increased.
Raise the flag! Sing the song!
Here we come, we're fifty strong!
And fifty Frenchmen can't be wrong!
Let's kill the beast!
Kill the beast!
Kill the beast!
Kill the beast!

You came back!BELLE
If only I'd come sooner.BEAST
Maybe it's better this way.BELLE
No! Don't talk like that! We're together now. Everything will be fine.BEAST
At least I got to see you one last time.BELLE
We are home.
We are where we shall be forever.
Trust in me,
for you know I won't run away.
From today,
this is all that I need,
and all that I need to say
is home should be where the heart is.
I'm certain as I can be
I found home.
You're my home.
Stay with me.No! No, please don't leave me! I love you!
BEAST
Belle, look into my eyes!
Belle, don't you recognize
the beast within the man who's here before you?BELLE
It is you!BOTH
Two lives have begun now!
Two hearts beat as one now!
One passion, one dream.
One thing forever true:
I love you!CHORUS
Certain as the sun
rising in the East.
Tale as old as time,
song as old as rhyme,
Beauty and the Beast.Tale as old as time,
song as old as rhyme,
Beauty and the Beast!
