No. I'm sure this is the way. Do you hear those wolves? That means we're getting very close to the castle.
Look, enough is enough. We have to turn back.
[Gaston stops the cart]
That's it. There it is. [snaps his finger] That's the tree. I'm sure of it. [gets off the cart] It-it was downed by lightning at the time. But now it's... resumed an upright position through some sort of... magic or other.
LeFou [to Gaston]
You really want to marry into this family?
So that means that the... the castle is that - No. No, it's - [motions falling tree with his arm] That way. Definitely... that way.
I am done playing this game of yours! Where is Belle?
The Beast took her and she...
There are no such things as beasts... or talking teacups... or magic! But there are wolves, frostbite, and starvation!
LeFou [stands up]
Deep breaths, Gaston. Deep breaths.
[breathes deeply, then turns to Maurice]
So, why don't we just turn around, go back to Villeneuve? I'm sure Belle is at home, cooking up a lovely dinner.
If you think I've made all this up, then why did you offer to help?
Because, I want to marry your daughter! [calms down] Now, let's go home.
Belle is not at home! She is with the...
[grabs Maurice]
You say "Beast" one more time, I WILL FEED YOU TO THE WOLVES!!!!!
LeFou [tries to stop him]
Gaston, stop it! Breathe, think of happy thoughts, go back to the war, blood, explosions, countless widows.
LeFou Yes, yes. That's it... [Gaston calms down and LeFou taps his nose] That's it.
[turns to Maurice, smiling. Maurice recoils]
Maurice! Please forgive me, old bean. That's no way to talk to my future father-in-law, now is it?
You will never marry my daughter.
LeFou [Short silence. Gaston furiously punches Maurice in the face, knocking him out]
I saw that coming.
[Cut to Gaston tying Maurice to a tree]
If Maurice won't give me his blessing, then he's in my way. Once the wolves are finished with him, Belle will have no one to take care of her but ME!
LeFou For the sake of exhausting all of our options, do we maybe want to consider a slightly less... gruesome alternative?
Are you coming?
[LeFou gulps and quickly and hesitantly climbs into the carriage]
[to Maurice, as he's thrown in a carriage]
Have you seen the inside of a mad house, Maurice? You wouldn't last a week. Just give me your daughter and I'll set you free.
[Gaston looks mad, closes the carriage door]
Take him away!
[D'Arque rides away as Belle returns]
STOP!! [gets off of Phillippe and runs to Maurice in the carriage] Papa!
Oh, Belle! I thought I lost you.
[turns to D'Arque]
Let him out! He's hurt!
DA D'Arque
We can't do that, miss. But we'll take very good care of him.
My father's not crazy! [turns to Gaston] Gaston, tell him!
You know how loyal, I am your family. But your father's been making some unbelievable claims.
MJ Monsieur Jean
It's true, Belle. He's been raving about a Beast in a castle.
I've just come from a castle, there is a Beast!
You say anything to set him free. Your word is hardly proof!
You want proof? [uses the magic mirror] Show me the Beast! [the mirror shows the Beast roaring. She shows him to the townspeople, who recoil in fear] There's your proof!
This is sorcery! [grabs the magic mirror] Look at this Beast! [He shows the townspeople about the Beast] LOOK AT HIS FANGS! HIS CLAWS!!
No. Don't be afraid! He's gentle and kind.
[turns to Belle]
The monster has her under his spell. If I didn't know better, I'd say she even cared for him!
He's NOT a monster, Gaston! YOU ARE!! [turns to the townspeople] The Beast wouldn't hurt anyone!
I've heard of the effects of dark magic, but I've never before seen it with my own eyes! This is a threat to a very existence! We can't have her running off to warn the Beast! Lock her up, too.
[Tom and Dick grabs Belle]
No!
You won't get away with this, Gaston!
[Tom and Dick throws Belle in the asylum carriage]
Oh, Belle!
LeFou [grabs Gaston's arm]
Gaston, with all due respect...
Do you want to be next? [LeFou is shocked into silence] Fetch my horse. [comes up to the carriage, to D'Arque] Stand guard. Don't let them escape! [to the townspeople] This creature will curse us all if we don't stop him! [the townspeople cheers] WELL, I SAY WE KILL THE BEAST!!!
LeFou [When Gaston and the mob sneak into the castle, LeFou notices Mrs. Potts and Chip.]
Well, hello there. You must be the talking teacup. [to Mrs. Potts] And YOU must be his grandmother.
[as soon of hearing this, she wakes up with a gasp]
"GRANDMOTHER"?! ATTACK!
[That is when the objects spring to life and attack the villagers]
[Mrs. Potts falls off a chandelier, screaming]
Mama!
[Just as she was about to hit the floor, LeFou catches her in time]
Thank you!
LeFou [LeFou smiles and nods "You're welcome". He spots the villagers about to attack them and dodges them. Mrs. Potts boils one villager up with tea]
Take that! [punches the other villager out and turns to Mrs. Potts]
LeFou Well, I used to be on Gaston's side, but we are so in a bad place right now.
You're too good for him anyway.
LeFou Yeah.
Should we get back to it, then?
[LeFou nods enthusiastically and runs off with her to join the servants in driving off the villagers]
