Belle: Paige O' Hara Gaston: Richard White 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 X GASTON Just watch, I'm going to make Belle my wife! X 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! ----- * From : Brian Soriano (NQIY@vax5.cit.cornell.edu) Kathy Li aka the Rev. Mom (celit!shipit.fps.com/kathy@UCSD.EDU
