Beauty and the Beast Page #4

Uh-oh.

Papa?

Papa, is that you?

Belle!

How did you find me?

Your hands are ice.

We need to get you home.

Belle, you must leave here

at once!

This castle is alive!

Now go, before he finds you!

Who?

Who's there?

Who are you?

Who are you?

I've come for my father.

Your father is a thief.

Liar!

He stole a rose.

I asked for the rose.

Punish me, not him.

No!

He means forever.

Apparently, that's what

happens around here

when you pick a flower.

A life sentence for a rose?

I received

eternal damnation for one.

I'm merely locking him away.

Now, do you still wish

to take your father's place?

Come into the light.

Choose.

Belle, I won't

let you do this.

I lost your mother.

I won't lose you, too.

Now, go.

Go!

All right, Papa. I'll leave.

I need a minute alone with him.

Are you so cold-hearted...

you won't allow a daughter

to kiss her father goodbye?

Forever can spare a minute.

When this door closes,

it will not open again.

I should have been with you.

Oh, no, no.

Belle, listen to me.

It's all right.

Now go.

Live your life.

And forget me.

Forget you?

Everything I am

is because of you.

I love you, Belle.

Don't be afraid.

I love you too, Papa.

I'm not afraid.

And I will escape. I promise.

What?

You took his place.

He's my father.

He's a fool.

And so are you.

Belle...

Papa!

Don't hurt him!

- Papa!

- No!

I'll come back!

I promise!

Forgive my intrusion,

mademoiselle...

but I have come to escort you

to your room.

My room?

- But I thought...

- Oh, what?

That "Once this door closes

it will not open again"?

I know.

He gets so dramatic.

Hello.

Ooh!

Oh, you are very strong.

This is a great quality.

What are you?

I am Lumire!

And you can talk?

Well, of course he can talk.

It's all he ever does.

Now, Lumire,

as head of the household...

I demand that you put her

back in her cell at once.

What do you want to be

for the rest of your life, Cogsworth?

A man, or a mantle clock?

Ready, miss?

- Trust me.

- Oh...

You must forgive

first impressions.

I hope you are

not too startled.

Why would I be startled?

I'm talking to a candle.

Candelabra, please.

Enormous difference.

But consider me at your service.

The castle is your home now...

so feel free to go

anywhere you like.

Except the west wing.

Which we do not have.

Why? What's in the west wing?

- Oh, nothing.

- Nothing.

- Storage space.

- Storage space.

- That's it.

- That's it.

Yes, that's it.

This way, please.

To the east wing.

Or as I like to call it,

the only wing.

Watch your step,

s'il vous plat!

Welcome to your new home.

It's modest, but comfortable.

It's beautiful.

But of course!

Master wanted you to have
