(A YOUNG PRINCE of noble bearing stands in the doorway of a majestic castle. We hear a voice.)
NARRATOR Once upon a time in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the Prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind.
(An OLD BEGGAR WOMAN appears.) But then, one winter’s night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and offered him a single rose in return for shelter from the bitter cold. Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the Prince sneered at the gift and turned the old woman away. But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, for beauty is found within. And when he dismissed her again, the old woman’s ugliness melted away to reveal… a beautiful enchantress.
(The OLD BEGGAR WOMAN transforms into an ENCHANTRESS. The YOUNG PRINCE falls to his knees.) The Prince tried to apologize, but it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart. As punishment, she transformed him…
(The YOUNG PRINCE transforms into the BEAST and holds a magic mirror.) … into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there. Ashamed of his monstrous form, the Beast concealed himself inside his castle with a magic mirror as his only window to the outside world.
(The rose appears.) The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose, which would bloom for many years. If he could learn to love another and earn their love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken. If not… he would be doomed to remain a beast for all time.
(The BEAST gazes at the rose… trapped, forlorn, and hopeless.) As the years passed, he fell into despair and lost all hope. For who could ever learn to love a beast?

(GASTON snatches the book out of BELLE’s hand.) Gaston. May I have my book, please?
GASTON (flicking through the book) How can you read this? There’s no pictures.
BELLE Well, some people use their imagination!
GASTON Belle, it’s about time you got your head out of these books and paid attention to more important things.
(GASTON strikes a handsome pose.)
LEFOU Hint… hint.
BELLE Like you?
GASTON Exactly! The whole town’s talking about it. It’s not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas… and thinking… for herself!
BELLE Gaston, you are positively primeval!
GASTON Why, thank you, Belle. What do you say you and me take a walk over to the tavern? I can show you my trophies.

COGSWORTH Well, now you’ve done it! I told you not to let him in!
LUMIERE We could not leave him for the wolves!
MAURICE Is anyone home?
COGSWORTH If we keep quiet, maybe he’ll go away.
MAURICE Is someone here?
COGSWORTH Not a word, Lumiere. Not one word!
MAURICE I don’t mean to intrude, but I’ve lost my way in the woods and I need a place to stay for the night.
LUMIERE Oh, Cogsworth, have a heart.
(to MAURICE) Monsieur, you are welcome here!
(LUMIERE flicks on one of his candle hands. COGSWORTH blows out the flame. They freeze.)

MRS. POTTS Well, what is it?
COGSWORTH Is dinner ready, Mrs. Potts?
MRS. POTTS Just about. I haven’t the foggiest idea what she likes to eat, so I’ve cooked up everything in the kitchen.
COGSWORTH Good… good.
(COGSWORTH turns around. MRS. POTTS and LUMIERE notice the handle and gasp.) Yes, well? Don’t just stand there gaping, get back to work!
LUMIERE You tell him.
MRS. POTTS I can’t.
COGSWORTH Tell me what?
LUMIERE Now don’t get upset, but you’ve got… something on your back.
COGSWORTH What on earth are you talking about?
(looks over his shoulder and gasps with horror) Ah!

LUMIERE It appears to be a winding handle of sorts.

COGSWORTH Relax?! How can I relax? And what’s going to go next… my mind?
LUMIERE Calm down. It will be all right.
COGSWORTH I’m frightened, Lumiere.
LUMIERE I know, my friend. But you are not alone.
MRS. POTTS We’re all in this together.

BEAST It’s time for dinner. Where is she?
COGSWORTH Perhaps I should see about her. Won’t be a minute.
(COGSWORTH exits.)
BEAST I told her to come down! What’s taking so long?
MRS. POTTS Try to be patient, sir. The young lady has lost her father and her freedom all in one day.
LUMIERE Master… have you thought that perhaps this girl could be the one to break the spell?
BEAST Of course, I have. I’m not a fool.
LUMIERE Good! So… you fall in love with her, she falls in love with you, and poof! The spell is broken! We’ll be human again by midnight!

COGSWORTH Your Lordship! Your Grace! Your Eminence! Let’s not be hasty!
BEAST (barges into Belle’s room) I thought I told you to come down to dinner!
BELLE I’m not hungry!
BEAST I am the master of this castle and I’m telling you to come to dinner.
BELLE And I’m telling you… I’m not hungry!

COGSWORTH Please… attempt to be a gentleman.
BEAST But why is she being so difficult?
(to BELLE) Why are you being so difficult?
BELLE Why are you being such a bully?
BEAST Because I want you to come down to dinner!
BELLE So… you admit you’re being a bully.
MRS. POTTS Deep breaths, Master… deep breaths.

COGSWORTH Quite right, Mrs. Potts! Lumiere, stand watch at the door. If there’s the slightest change, inform me at once.

BEAST I’m just fooling myself. She’ll never see me as anything… but a monster. HOW LONG MUST THIS GO ON? THIS CRUEL TRICK OF FATE?

BELLE Don’t do that!

BEAST Well… you shouldn’t have been in the west wing!
BELLE And you should learn to control your temper!
