The Beautiful Beast Page #2

Synopsis: La Belle Bête is a powerful study of the conflict between beauty and ugliness, hate and love. The story revolves around three main characters. At the center, Patrice, a beautiful but mindless youth stands gazing at his image in the water. Around him move his ugly sister Isabelle-Marie, and his frivolous mother Louise, the first lost in love and hate for her brother's beauty, the second seeing it as an adornment for herself. Into this small, obsessed universe come a blind boy and an elegant fop from the outside world. At once, the pattern breaks and events move forward into a terrifying denouement.

time.

No, I say I go to ski resorts

all the time. It's very

different.

Ok well, listen, it's actually

really fun. You just have to

give it a chance.

I'm sure.

Make-up? Really?

Look, always look your best.

It is the one rule I live by.

Just... you do your thing and

I will do mine.

Alright?

Ok... Are you ready?

Ohh ahhh!

No, don't laugh.

I'm sorry. Here...

No, this is so stupid! You

are stupid!

I am having you shipped back

to America as soon as we get

back

and I get something hot to

drink. Ow!

This is it! I've had enough!

Yeah, well, you promised me

skiing, so...

On slopes!

Well, you never specified

that. And besides, this is

what I wanted to do.

It's all about what you want

isn't it? You are so spoiled!

Yeah, I get that all the time

from you of all people.

You know what? You're making

me regret ever inviting you

along.

More like guilt tripping me

into coming.

Whatever! You get to free-load

on a dream vacation, boo-hoo.

Isabelle, I am not one of your

groupies

or free-loading friends.

Well, I'm paying for this and

I say...

No, no I am tired of you

holding the money over my

head.

I don't do that.

Yes, you do!

It was your uncle's idea to

help my mom when she was

sick and that was so great.

But you... anytime you can you

like to take credit for it.

You're being ridiculous!

No! What is ridiculous is you

using that to get me to do

whatever you want

like come on this stupid trip.

I don't even understand what

you're complaining about.

I mean you should feel lucky

to even have me around.

You are so full of yourself

you actually think that the

whole world revolves around

you.

Apparently not the whole

world.

You know what? I'm just

going to go ahead.

You can catch a cab back to

the hotel, ok princess?

Fine, be that way!

Fine!

You know what? When you're

done with your whole

cross-country thing you may as

well pack your bags and go

back to your

stupid bug job because I'm

uninviting you, missy!

Oh, well, see you at home.

Don't hold your breath.

Now that you're gone I may

extend my vacation and

actually have some fun!

Well that is what you do best,

Isabelle.

Oh, oh, oh, ahhh!

[ STRUGGLING ]

[ ANGRY GRUNTS ]

Catherine? Are you still out

here?

I can't believe she abandoned

me.

[ STRUGGLING ]

[ SCREAMING ]

[ COUGHS ]

Ow.

It's okay.

[ DIALING ] Oh, come on...

I hate Switzerland!

Ow!

This is all her fault. I'll

have her deported

Can't feel fingers... can't

feel toes.

But I can feel my ankle!

Every step.

Someone help me...

Please! Someone help me!

[ KNOCKING ] Hello? I need

some help!

Hello? I just need to use

your phone.

Please just... Hello?

Hello?
