I'm especially good at expectorating...
Gaston I'd like to thank you all for coming to my wedding. But first I'd better go in there and propose to the girl!
Gaston [singing]
I use antlers in all of my dec-orating!
Gaston [singing]
When I was a lad I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large! And now that I'm grown I eat five dozen eggs, so I'm roughly the size of a BARGE!
Gaston Were you in love with her, Beast? Did you honestly think she'd want you when she had someone like me?
Gaston It's over, Beast! Belle is mine! (it was originally "Time to die!" but they changed it to fit Belle back into the scene.)
Gaston What's the matter, Beast, too kind and gentle to fight back?
Gaston [singing]
And every last inch of me's covered in HAIR!
Gaston [singing]
Screw your courage to the sticking place!

You- You came back
Gaston [singing]
Lefou, I'm afraid I've been thinking...
A dangerous pastime.
Gaston I know!
Gaston [flicking through pages of book]
How can you read this? There's no pictures!
Gaston [tossing the book aside]
Belle, it's time you got your head out of those book and paid attention to more important things. Like me.
Gaston This is the day your dreams come true.
What do you know about my dreams, Gaston?
Gaston Plenty! Here, picture this... a rustic hunting lodge... my latest kill roasting on the fire... and my little wife, massaging my feet... while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs... we'll have six or seven.
Dogs?
Gaston No, Belle! Strapping boys, like me!
Imagine that.
Gaston And do you know who that little wife will be?
Let me think...
Gaston You, Belle!
Gaston... I-I'm speechless... I really don't know what to say...
Gaston Say you'll marry me!
[backs up against front door. Gaston leans over her]
I'm very sorry, Gaston... but... but I just don't deserve you! [she opens door and Gaston tumbles out]
Gaston If I didn't know better, I'd think you had feelings for this monster!
He's no monster, Gaston, you are!
Gaston She's as crazy as the old man!
Papa? Papa? [Lumiere and Cogsworth go in] Hello? Is someone here? Wait! I'm looking for my father. I... That's funny. I'm sure there was someone. I-Is anyone here?
Belle?
Papa! [grabs a stick of fire]
H-How did you find me?
Oh, your hands are like ice. I have to get you out of there.
Belle, I want you to leave this place.
Who's done this to you?
No time to explain. You must go! Now!
I won't leave you!
Run, Belle! [stick of fire gets thrown]
Who's there? Who are you?
The master of this castle. [roars]
I've come for my father. Please let him out. Can't you see he's sick?
Then he shouldn't have trespassed here!
But he could die. Please, I-I'll do anything.
There's nothing you can do. He's my prisoner.
Oh, there must be some way I can... Wait! Take me instead.
You?! You would... take his place?
Belle, no! You don't know what you're doing!
If I did, would you let him go?
Yes. But you must promise to stay here forever.
Come into the light.
No, Belle! I won't let you do this!
You have my word.
Done!
No, Belle, listen to me. I'm old. I've lived my life. [Beast grabs Maurice away from Belle.]
Wait.
Belle!
Wait! [Beast opens the castle door.]
No, please spare my daughter. Please!
She's no longer your concern. [throws Maurice into the Pallenquin and shuts the Pallenquin door] Take him to the village.
Let me out! Please let me out! Let me out! Please! Please! [Pallenquin slinks like a spider and Belle cries]
Gaston The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts gettings ideas, and thinking...
Gaston, you are positively primeval.
Gaston Why, thank you, Belle!
Gaston When Belle and I come out that door...
Oh, I know, I know! I strike up the band!
Gaston [the band plays "Here Comes The Bride" very rapidly] [slams a tuba on LeFou's head]
Not yet!
Thorry!
Gaston [displeased about what happened to him]
Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with the wrong man. No one says no to Gaston.
Hehe! Darn right!
Gaston Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly humiliated. Why, it's more than I can bear. [throwing his two mugs of beer into the fireplace]
More beer?
Gaston [frustratingly turning his chair away from the fireplace]
What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced.
Who, you? Never. Gaston, you've gotta pull yourself together.
