Quotes 

• Belle : [to Lumiere]  What happens when the last petal falls?

  Lumière : The master remains a beast forever and we become...

  Mrs. Potts : [sadly]  Antiques!

  Lumière : Knick-knacks.

  Plumette : Lightly-used housewares.

  Cogsworth : Rubbish. We become rubbish.

  Belle : I want to help you. There must be some way to break the curse.

  Cogsworth : Well, there is one.

  [Lumiere hits him] 

  Mrs. Potts : It's not for you to worry about, lamb. We've made our bed, and we must lie in it.

• Beast : [to Belle, gruffly]  You'll join me for dinner. That's not a request.

  Mrs. Potts : Gently, Master. The girl lost her father *and* her freedom in one day.

  Lumière : Yes, the poor thing is probably in there scared to death.

  Belle : [Unbeknownst to them, Belle has turned her pink gown into a rope so she can escape. The Beast knocks on her bedroom door again, softly this time; nervously]  Just a minute.

  Lumière : You see? There she is. Now remember: Be gentle.

  Mrs. Potts : Kind.

  Plumette : Mmm, charming.

  Cogsworth : Sweet!

  Lumière : And when she opens the door, give her a dashing, debonaire smile! Come, come, show me the smile!

  Cogsworth : [the Beast gives a wide smile, showing his monstrous teeth. The servants react in fright]  Oh, dear!

  Plumette : Oh, no!

  Beast : [his smile vanishes; he gathers himself and pretends to be gracious]  Will you join me for dinner?

  [He turns away and shakes his head at the servants as if to say, "This'll never work"] 

  Belle : You've taken me as your prisoner, and now you want to have dinner with me? Are you insane?

  Plumette : [the Beast becomes visibly enraged; the servants back away in fear]  Uh-oh! He's losing it!

  Cogsworth : Oh, dear!

  Beast : [pounds on Belle's door, yelling]  I told you to join me for dinner!

  Belle : And I told you no!

  Madame Garderobe : [awakens startled]  Oh, what time is it? What's happening?

  Belle : I'd *starve* before I ever ate with you!

  Beast : [roaring]  Well, be my guest! Go ahead and starve!

  [to Lumiere] 

  Beast : If she doesn't eat with me, then she doesn't eat *at all*!

  [storms off] 

  Beast : Idiots!

• Plumette : Enchantée, mademoiselle.

  [She begins to dust the East Wing room] 

  Plumette : Don't worry. I'll have this place spotless in no time.

  [She flies over to Lumiere] 

  Plumette : [to Lumiere]  This plan of yours is dangerous.

  Lumière : I would risk anything to kiss you again, Plumette.

  Plumette : No, my love. I've been burned by you before. We must be strong.

  Lumière : How can I be strong when you make me so weak?

• Lumière , Plumette : [singing to each other]  Will you now forever remain out of reach of my arms?

• Lumière : Oh, my prince!

  Prince : Hello, old friend.

  [hugging Lumiere] 

  Lumière : It's so good to see you!

  Plumette : You saved our lives, mademoiselle.

  Chip : Belle, It's me! It's Chip!

  [he hugs Belle] 

• Cogsworth : Well, Master, I have had my doubts, but everything is moving like clockwork. True love really does win the day!

  Beast : I let her go.

  Cogsworth : [shocked]  You what?

  Lumière : Master, how could you do that?

  Beast : I had to.

  Cogsworth : But why?

  Mrs. Potts : Because he loves her.

  Lumière : Then why are we not human?

  Cogsworth : Because she doesn't love him. And now, it's too late.

  Plumette : [hopefully]  But she might come back.

  Beast : No. I set her free. I'm sorry I couldn't do the same for all of you. Now, go. Our time is almost past.
