I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO COME DOWN TO DINNER!
I'M NOT HUNGRY!
YOU COME OUT, OR I'LL... I'LL BREAK DOWN THE DOOR!!!
Lumiere Uh, Master, I could be wrong, but that may not be the best way to win the girl's affections.
Please! Attempt to be a gentleman.
Gently, gently.
No!
Suave. Genteel.
[back to Belle, with forced calm]
It would give me great pleasure, if you would join me for dinner.
And we say please.
Please?
NO THANK YOU!
YOU CAN'T STAY IN THERE FOREVER!
YES, I CAN!!
FINE!! THEN GO AHEAD AND STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARVE!!!!! [to the objects] If she doesn't eat with me, then she doesn't eat at all!
Lumiere Voila! (Sees that the Beast has been given ringlets) Oh, you look so...so...
Stupid.
Lumiere Not quite ze word I was looking for. Perhaps a little more off the top?
[shakes Lumiere's hand in truce]
Well, Lumiere, old friend. Shall we let bygones be bygones?
Lumiere Of course, mon ami. I told you she would break ze spell!
I beg your pardon, old friend, but I believe I told you.
Lumiere No, you didn't! I told you!
You most certainly did not, you pompous, paraffin-headed peabrain!
Lumiere En garde, you-you overgrown pocket watch!
[The two begin fighting again]
I let her go.
I had to.
Yes, but... why?
Because... I love her.
Cut to after Cogsworth tells the other objects
Objects
He did WHAT?!
Yes. I'm afraid it's true.
She's going away?
Lumiere But he was so close.
After all this time, he's finally learning to love.
Lumiere That's it then! That should break the spell!
But it's not enough. She has to love him in return.
Now, it's too late.
