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:
TOWNSPERSON 1-5
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: '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!
WOMEN
Look, there she goes-
That girl is strange, no question.
Dazed
and distracted, can't you tell?
WOMAN
Never part of any
crowd.
BARBER
'Cause her head's upon some cloud.
TOWNSPEOPLE
No
denying she's a funny girl that Belle!
MAN 1 WOMAN1
Bonjour!
Good day!
How is your family?
WOMAN2
MAN2
Bonjour!
Good day!
How is your wife?
WOMAN 3
MAN3
I need six eggs!
That's too
expensive!
BELLE
There must be more than this provincial life!
LIBRARIAN: Ah, Belle!
BELLE: Good morning! I've come to return the book I
borrowed.
LIBRARIAN: Finished already?
BELLE: Oh, I couldn't put it
down. Have you got anything new?
LIBRARIAN: Not since yesterday!
BELLE:
That's allright. I'll borrow...this one.
LIBRARIAN: That one? But you've read it
twice!
BELLE: Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights,
magic spells, a prince in disguise!
LIBRARIAN: If you like it all that much,
it's yours.
BELLE: But sir!
LIBRARIAN: I insist!
BELLE: Well,
thank you. Thank you very much!
MEN
Look, there she goes.
The girl is so
peculiar!
I wonder if she's feeling well.
WOMEN
With a dreamy, far off
look,
MEN
and her nose stuck in a book,
TOWNSPEOPLE
what a puzzle to
the rest of us is Belle!
BELLE
Now isn't this amazing!
It's my favorite part
because--you'll see!
Here's where she meets Prince Charming.
But she won't discover that
it's him 'til chapter three!
CUSTOMER
Now it's no wonder that her name means
'Beauty'.
Her looks have got no parallel.
SHOPKEEPER
But behind that fair
facade, I'm afraid she's rather odd.
Very different from the rest of
us,
TOWNSPEOPLE
She's nothing like the rest of us.
Yes, different from the rest
of us is Belle!
LEFOU: Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston. You're the greatest
hunter
in the whole world!
GASTON: I know.
LEFOU: No
beast alive stands a chance against you-- and no girl for
that matter.
GASTON: It's true, Lefou. And I've got my sights set on that one.
LEFOU: The
inventor's daughter?
GASTON: She's the one-- the lucky girl I'm going to marry.
LEFOU: But she's...
GASTON: The most beautiful girl in town.
LEFOU: I
know, but...
GASTON: That makes her the best! And don't I deserve the best?
LEFOU: Well, of course. I mean you do, but...
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!
WOMEN
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!
TOWNSPEOPLE GASTON TOWNSPEOPLE
Bonjour!
Pardon!
Good day!
Mais, oui.
You call this
bacon?
What lovely grapes!
Some cheese,
Ten yards!
one pound!
'scuse me!
I'll
get the knife.
Please let me through!
This bread,
Those fish,
it's stale!
they
smell!
Madame's mistaken.
BELLE
TOWNSPEOPLE
There must be more than this provincial life! Well, maybe so X X

GASTON
Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife! X X X

TOWNSPEOPLE
Look, there she goes.
The girl is strange, but special.
A
most peculiar mademoiselle!
It's a pity and a sin she doesn't quite fit in.
But she really
is a funny girl.
A beauty but a funny girl.
She really is a funny girl, that Belle |
