Beauty and the Beast Page #2

---

Wonderful book you have there.

Have you read it?

Well, not that one.

But, you know, books...

For your dinner table.

Shall I join you this evening?

Sorry, not this evening.

Busy?

No...

So, moving on?

No, LeFou.

It's the ones

who play hard to get

that are always

the sweetest prey.

That's what makes Belle

so appealing.

She hasn't made

a fool of herself

just to gain my favor.

What would you call that?

Dignity?

It's outrageously attractive,

isn't it?

Gaston!

Mmm.

Mmm.

How does a moment

last forever

How can a story never die

It is love we must hold on to

Never easy but we try

Sometimes our happiness

is captured

Somehow a time and place stand still

Love lives on

inside our hearts

And always will

Oh.

Belle.

Hmm.

Could you...

Hand me a...

Thank you.

And I also need...

No. No. No.

Actually...

yes, that's exactly

what I need. Thank you.

- Papa, do you think I'm odd?

- Odd?

My daughter? Odd?

Where did you get an idea like that?

I don't know. People talk.

This is a small village,

you know.

Small minded as well.

But small also means safe.

Even back in Paris,

I knew a girl like you,

who was so...

ahead of her time.

So different.

People mocked her.

Until the day they all found

themselves imitating her.

Please, just tell me

one more thing about her.

Your mother was...

fearless.

Fearless.

So...

what can I bring you

from the market?

A rose.

Like the one in the painting.

You ask for that every year!

And every year you bring it.

Then I shall

bring you another.

You have my word.

- Goodbye, Papa.

- Goodbye, Belle.

Come on, Philippe.

You know the way.

I'll see you tomorrow!

Right.

Tomorrow, with the rose.

Stay safe.

What are you doing?

The laundry.

Come! Come!

"The blue bird..."

"That flies...

"over the dark...

"wood."

That was amazing!

What on earth are you doing?

Teaching another girl to read?

Isn't one enough?

We have to do something.

You are the wildest...

most gorgeous thing

I have ever seen.

Nobody deserves you.

But at least I know

our children will be beautiful.

Am I catching you

at a bad time?

- What is it, LeFou?

- A certain damsel is in distress.

Ah. It's hero time.

I'm not done with you yet.

Me, neither.

Belle! I heard you had trouble

with the Headmaster.

He never liked me either.

Can I give you a little advice

about the villagers though?

They're never going to trust

the kind of change you're trying to bring.

All I wanted was to teach

a child to read.

The only children you should

concern yourself with...

are your own.

I'm...

not ready to have children.

Maybe you haven't

met the right man.

It's a small village, Gaston.
