Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas/Transcript

Transcript

• [The film opens on Christmas Eve at the former Beast's and Belle's castle. Guests are arriving.]
• Chorus: ♪ Deck the halls with boughs of holly ♪ ♪ Fa-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la ♪ ♪ ‘Tis the season to be jolly ♪ ♪ Fa-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la ♪ ♪ Don we now our gay apparel ♪ ♪ Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la ♪ ♪ Troll the ancient Yuletide carol ♪ ♪ Fa-la-la-la-la La-la-la-la ♪
• [Inside the castle, Chip slides down the bannister into the hallway.]
• Chip: Who-oa!
• Sultan: [Barking]
• ♪ Deck the halls with boughs of holly ♪ Ha-ha. There must be much, much more holly.
• ♪ ‘Tis the season to be… ♪ Wh-What’s this? There’s too much holly. Whoa! Slow down, lad.

[Angelique is placing an angel atop the tree.]

• ♪ Don we now our gay apparel ♪♪ No, no, no, no more mistletoe.
• - ♪♪ [Mrs Potts Humming]
• - [Laughing]
• - Chip, away from those presents, dear.
• - [Sultan Barking]
• [Chip]
• Mama, I found one for me!
• Can I open it, Mama?
• Can I?
• - Well, just one.
• - Oh, boy!
• - It’s good to see the boy having a proper Christmas.
• - [Snarling]
• Not like last year.
• [Chuckles]
• Yes. This is much more agreeable.
• Well, I thought last year was quite nice.
• Yes, well, I suppose I,
• I did manage to save Christmas.
• - You?
• - Yes, me.
• - [Laughing]
• - If not for my skilful and decisive leadership, all would’ve been lost.
• Leadership? Ha! You could not lead a horse to water.
• - [Cogsworth]
• What are you yammering about?
• - [Sighs]
• - It was all my idea.
• - Your idea? Everyone knows it was mine.
• Heavens. How many times are we going to have to go over this story?
• - Story?
• - Until someone gets his facts straight.
• Chip: Why don’t you tell it, Mama?
• - [Cogsworth] Capital idea.
• Well, I don’t… know.
• Come now, Mrs Potts. Surely you recall how I saved Christmas.
• Dut-dut-dut-dut. No leading the witness.
• Please, Mama, tell the story.
• Oh, all right.
• [Lumiere] Ahh, now we will hear what really happened.
• Mrs. Potts: Well, let’s see. Belle, terrified by the master’s anger, ran away from the castle… straight into a pack of wolves. But the master saved her.
• [Everything in the room fades away to last year; it was winter, and the Enchanted Objects hop up to the window.]
• - They began to be friends.
• - [Lumiere] Ah-ah-ah. That’s where I came in.
• - [Chip] Where could he be?
• - [Mrs Potts] Goodness knows. We’ve searched every last corner.
• [Cogsworth] I’m beginning to think he’s not in the castle at all.
• (Lumiere looks out the window and sees the Beast outside.)
• Voila! There he is!
• - Wonderful!
• - [Gasps] No time to waste. We must find a way to get them together.
• [Lumiere] Let’s go! Love will not wait.
• (They went off to go find Belle.)
• You really think she’s the one? Will she break the spell?
• [Panting] I knew it from the moment I set eyes on her.
• If anyone can reach the master, Belle can. Such a kind soul.
• - [Lumiere]
• And her looks don’t hurt either.
• - [Chip Giggling]
• Wait for me!
• [Panting]
• - Hi, Belle.
• - Oh, hello. Chip, do you know what day it is?
• Well, it’s not Tuesday…
• No, silly. Today is December 24. The day before Christmas.
• - And what a beautiful day it is.
• A wonderful day for a morning stroll.
• Yes, yes. Nothing starts the day like a brisk walk around the grounds.
• [Chip] Yeah! Or you could go ice-skating. Ha-ha. Wahoo!
• - Yes, fresh air, exercise. Ha-ha.
• - [Back Creaking]
• - In moderation, of course.
• - [Snoring]
• - [Mrs Potts]
• Come along, Belle dear. The great outdoors awaits.
• - [Chip] Yeah, let’s go!
• Merci, monsieur.
• [Growling]
• Oh. Good morning.
• Huh? Wh-Wh-Whoa…
• [Grunts]
• - [Low Growl]
• - Oh, dear!
• Are you all right?
• Beast: Uh… Uh… I fell and I landed on my… on, on the ice.
• Belle: It’s pretty slippery.
• Beast: Yes… it’s slippery.
• This is a perfect day for skating.
• Come on.
• [Giggling]
• Hmm?
• Come on.
• No.
• [Grunts]
• Go on, Master.
• It might be fun.
• Go for it!
• Hmm. Hmm?
• - [Chip Laughing]
• - [Barking]
• - Come on!
• - [Cogsworth] Not so fast.
• - Ooo-ooo la-la.
• - [Sighs]
• Come on.
• Why don’t you try it like this?
• One, two, three. One, two, three.
• See? It’s easy.
• One, two… three. On-ne, two, three.
• - Ho-ho-ho.
• - Yes.
• - I think this may work.
• - [All Laughing]
• [Zoom back from the lesson into a mysterious room in the castle; a slow and dreary organ piece is heard as we see the keys playing themselves, followed by the various pipes. Fife, a flute, peeks over the cushion as the source is revealed as Forte, a massive pipe organ, who ends the music.]
• ♪♪ [Pipe Organ, Slow, Gloomy]
• ♪♪ [Continues]
• ♪♪ [Ends]
• Fife: Bravo! Bravo! Encore!
• Forte: [Chuckles] Fife, you approve?
• Fife: Oh, maestro, it’s magnificent!
• Forte: Oh, come along. It’s merely an opera… to bring the house down.
• [Laughing]
• Ooh!
• [Grunting]
• Is there a part for a piccolo?
• Absolutely. [Laughing]
• [He plays a quiet melody, causing a ghostly burst of music from the pipes to open a nearby chest.]
• Solo for fife, in B-flat.
• - Ooh. I’d do anything for a solo.
• Forte: Yes. I know. Now, Fifey, in the midst of my crescendo, I thought I heard merriment outside the window. Have a little look-see, will you?
• [Laughing Continues]
• Fife: Wow! Would you look at that?
• Forte: Well, I think I might. I’ll just pick myself up and… Oh! What’s this? Heavens, look.
• [He tries to move, but he is chained to the wall by restraints.]
• Forte: I'M BOLTED TO THE WALL!
• Fife: Oh, right. [Nervous Chuckle] Um, th-the master is skating.
• Forte: Skating? Why on earth would he do a thing like that?
• Fife: Probably because that pretty girl is holding his hand.
• Forte: What? Belle?
• Fife: Hey. Maybe if she falls in love with him, the spell will be broken, and we’ll be human again!
• - [Blaring]
• Fife: [Screams]
• Forte: Trust me, Fife. Humanity is entirely overrated.
• - [Grunts]
• Forte: Before the enchantment, there was no need… for my particular brand of genius. But now the master needs my melodies… to feed his tormented soul. I am his confidant… and his best friend. And I won’t let some peasant girl ruin it for me!
• - ♪♪ [Blaring]
• Forte: Fife, see to it that this blossoming love… withers on the vine.
• Fife: Yes, Maestro Forte.
• [Chuckles]
• One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. I think I’ve got it! [Grunts]
• - [Giggles]
• [Panting]
• Hey, down in front. I wanna see. Let me see. I wanna see too!
• - [High-Pitched Whistle]
• - [All] Shh!
• - [Groans]
• - [Cogsworth] Quiet.
• Oh, this is very promising.
• Ah, yes, there is something in the air.
• - [Sultan Barks]
• - Could it be love?
• Love?
• Oh, oh, oh, ooh.
• Uh. Oh. Oh.
• I’ve got to stop them.
• Oh!
• [Screaming]
• He-e-elp!
• Whoa-oh-oh-oh!
• What’s that
• little toot up to?
• Whoa!
• Mmm, mmm.
• [Chuckles]
• Stop!
• [Grunts]
• [Both Shouting]
• - [Panting]
• - [Grunting]
• [Groans]
• [Sighs]
• [Spits, Moans]
• It’s a Christmas angel, see?
• - [Low Growl]
• - Oh.
• This is no angel. It’s the shadow of a monster.
• [Roaring]
• [Roaring Continues]
• [Chuckling]
• Fife: Oh, Forte is going to be so proud of me.
• [Panting]
• I don’t know why I bother. [Sighs] Now he’s worse than ever.
• Don’t lose heart, dearest.
• ♪♪ [Forte Playing, Gloomy]
• Beast: [Growling] I hate Christmas.
• [Grunts]
• ♪♪ [Continues]
• Forte: The music helps?
• Beast: Your music is the only thing that helps me forget. [Low Growl]
• Forte: Don’t worry, old friend. I’m here for you, just as I have been, just as I always will be.
• Why is the beast such a grump?
• I don’t know.
• He’s always like that.
• - Even at Christmas?
• - Yep.
• Belle, what’s Christmas?
• Oh, Chip, you must know about Christmas. Stockings in front of the fire? Tree? Tinsel? Presents?
• Presents? Do I get one?
• Of course. Everyone gets a present on Christmas.
• - Oh, even the master?
• - Yes, even the master.
• - What are you gonna get him?
• - I don’t know him well enough to know what he would want.
• What would you want?
• Belle: Well, what I love most in the world are my books; my stories.
• Chip: Why don’t you get the master a story?
• Belle: You’re right, Chip. A story.

• [Grunting] Do you think the master will like his gift?
• - I do.
• - So does this mean we’re gonna have a Christmas?
• [Giggles]
• Uh-huh. Absolutely.
• Absolutely not.
• [Glasses, Whining]
• Why not?
• Out of the question. Not a chance.
• Dream on. An impossibility. Forget it.
• [Glasses Sighing]
• Come on!
• - Suck in that gut.
• - [Inhaling]
• - Mon ami. Get with
• the spirit. Unwind.
• - [Moans]
• - Oh, dear.
• - Come on, love. Have a heart.
• [Glasses]
• Yeah. Come on.
• - No, no, and… let me think…
• - Uh-huh? Uh-huh?
• - No!
• - [All Sighing]
• This is where
• I put my foot down.
• Wait. Get outta…
• Go…
• The master has
• forbidden Christmas!
• - [Laughing]
• - Oh, dear me.
• Forbid Christmas?
• No one can forbid Christmas.
• He doesn’t wish
• to be reminded of his past,
• and Christmas is
• a most painful reminder of it.
• I, for one,
• do not wish to torture him.
• I, for one, think a little
• Christmas cheer would do him some good.
• - [Glasses] Yeah.
• - Oh? Hmm.
• The girl is right.
• It is up to us to do something.
• Cogsworth: Gosh! It’s not our place to get involved. No, no, no, no! We just can’t mind our own beeswax, can we? Just have to stick our wick where it doesn’t belong.
• - [Screaming]
• - [Giggling]
• Whoa!
• [Laughing]
• - Oh, humiliating.
• - [Mrs Potts] Pish posh.
• I think it’s
• a wonderful idea.
• Cogsworth: But the master doesn’t want it. His castle, his rules.
• Chip: It’s not fair.
• [Glasses Whining]
• He’s right. It’s not fair!
• Don’t whine, glasses.
• [Glasses Whining]
• Sorry.
• [Mrs Potts]
• Look at us, squabbling and bickering.
• Breaks my heart
• to see it, it does.
• And we used to be
• at our very best at Christmas.
• - Why, we used to prepare
• a feast for the entire castle.
• - Eh.
• Ah, you could have some
• stuffed turkey.
• - Cranberry sauce.
• - Shortbread cookies.
• - [Lumiere] Mince pies.
• - [Mrs Potts] Potatoes.
• - Gravy.
• - And Christmas pudding!
• Uh, pudding?
• With, with custard?
• What do you think we are, barbarians?
• Of course with custard.
• - And raisins and brandy…
• - [Slurping]
• - and all those things you like.
• - [Murmuring Agreement]
• Ohh. Oh, l…
• - [Moaning] All right.
• - Yes!
• But if the master finds out
• about this, he will be furious,
• so, everybody, keep quiet.
• Come on!
• What are we waiting for, Christmas?
• Good heavens, we don’t have much time.
• It’s Christmas Eve!
• - I’ll see to the dinner.
• - I’ll get some mistletoe.
• - [Glass Sighs]
• - We need to brighten this place up.
• Belle, I know someone
• who will help.
• Now, now, wait for me.
• I’m in charge here. I’m in charge.
• [Door Opening]
• Wait for me!
• [Door Closes]
• [Chip] One-thousand one, one-thousand two, one-thousand three… Are we there yet?
• [Belle] Not yet.
• Oh, boy, there sure are a lot of stairs here. One-thousand seven, one-thousand eight, one-thousand nine, one-thousand ten…
• [Panting]
• [Sighs]
• Hello?
• Hello?
• Do not be afraid, mes ami?
• It is I, Lumiere.
• We have come to pay you a little visit.
• [Creaking]
• - Lumiere?
• - Angelique.
• - Ah, Lumiere, finally.
• - [Excited Chattering]
• I thought we were to be locked away
• in this dusty attic forever.
• Ah, Angelique,
• mon amour.
• Your eyes are still so lovely
• after all these years.
• Lumiere, please! You’ll tarnish the halo.
• - [Clears Throat]
• - Oh, yes.
• - This is Belle, our guest.
• - Hello, Belle.
• - Pleased to meet you.
• - And this is Angelique.
• She is the
• castle decorator.
• You mean was
• the castle decorator.
• I am not responsible
• for this baroque atrocity.
• When I was in charge,
• the castle was full
• of light and beauty.
• [Chuckles]
• But, cherie, that is why we have come.
• Gather around, mes enfants.
• - We are planning the greatest…
• - [Gasps]
• - Christmas celebration ever!
• - [All Cheering]
• - [Giggles]
• - [Sighs]
• [Cheering Continues]
• No, stop!
• - [Gasps]
• - What is it, cherie?
• Why do you raise my hopes… I, I mean, their hopes only to have them dashed? Well, no more.
• But it’s Christmas Eve. Without you, we’ll never get the castle decorated in time.
• Ha! Christmas. Hmph! I refuse to hope for it any more. I will not be disappointed again.
• But this is to be the greatest celebration ever. We cannot do it without you.
• Well, but of course you cannot. Christmas takes planning and organization. No. No, I won’t do it. It won’t change anything.
• Belle: I believe it will.

• - There is decorating to be done.
• - [Muffled Shouts]
• Yes, yes, yes, yes. But keep in mind, the master mustn’t find out.
• Oooh, yes.
• [Chuckles]
• Beast: [Low Growl] Christmas! She’s planning Christmas!
• Forte: Yes. Awful, isn’t it?
• Beast: [Growling] Perhaps, she doesn’t know how I feel about Christmas.
• Forte: But, she does know.
• Beast: Hmm? She just doesn’t care like I do. She’s actually trying to bring Christmas back to the castle.
• Forte: And you know how much we despise Christmas.
• Beast: The day my life ended.
• [Flashback to the day the Beast was cursed; the selfish Prince is in the ballroom on Christmas Eve.]
• Prince: Bring me my presents!
• Lumière: Here, Your Highness. Please accept this humble gift as a token of our appreciation. I know I speak for everyone when…
• Prince: Ah, just give it to me! [opens it] A storybook? You call this a present?!! I hope you have something better for me, Forte!
• Forte: Yes, sir. Of course, Master.
• ♪♪ [Slow]
• Prince: What is that?!
• Forte: Um, a small piece in your honour, Master.
• Prince: Eeew! I hate it. Forte, that stuff is gloomy.
• [Knocking]
• Prince: [Shouting] Who disturbs my Christmas?!
• [He opens the door revealing the old beggar woman.]
• Old woman: Please, take this rose… in exchange for shelter from the bitter cold.
• Prince: [Scoffs] I don’t need a rose. Go away, you wretched old hag! (The old woman becomes the Echantress.)
• The Enchantress: You have been deceived by your own cold heart. A curse upon your house and all within it. Until you have found one to love you as you are, you shall remain forever… a beast.
• [Growling, Screaming] [Snarling, Roaring]
• [Flashback ends]
• Forte: But we’ve come so far since then. We’ve risen above the tragedy.
• Beast: Where is she?
• Forte: I believe she’s gone to the boiler room, or so a little birdie told me.
• Fife: [Chuckling] Tweet, tweet, tweet.
• [Banging]
• Oh!
• Aah!
• [Groans]
• [Fire Crackling]
• Hey, hey, hey. Come on.
• Get outta the way.

• - [Gasps]
• - Excuse me.
• - Let’s go. Let’s go.
• All right, you guys.
• Now get back to work. The castle doesn’t heat itself, you know.
• Oy, gevault.
• So, what can I do you for, lady?
• - I’m looking for a log.
• - All right. Logs we got.
• What do you want?
• Hard wood, soft wood? We got it all.
• We got birch, maple, pine, oak…
• - [Banging]
• - Doi! Concrete.
• - [Twittering]
• - My head. Don’t worry. It’ll pass.
• So, make up your mind already.
• Is it all right
• if I just browse?
• Suit yourself. Take your time.
• Me, I got work to do.
• Huh.
• - [Loud Banging]
• - Hmm.
• [Banging, Hissing]

• - [Whistle Blowing]
• [Blaring]
• Whew.
• - [All Sigh]

• Axe: (shouting) Hey, what am I payin’ you for, being boring? Do that on your own time. Get outta here!
• [The Workers get back to work stoking the boiler, chattering.]
• Belle: (checking over the yule log) Yes. (hears a loud nose) Oh!
• (Beast has arrived in the boiler room, having knocked down the doors. Belle hums innocently, as Beast gets close to her. She gasps but continues humming.)
• Beast: (sharply) What are you hiding? (He huffs and growls, finally snatching the yule log from Belle, as he then inspects it.)
• Belle: It’s, uh, a Yule log.
• Beast: Huh?
• Belle: A-a Yule log. It’s a wonderful tradition. One log is chosen, and everyone in the house touches it… and makes a Christmas wish.
• Beast: (bitterly) Mmm, wishes are stupid. [growls] You made a Christmas wish last year. (bellows) IS THIS WHAT YOU WISHED FOR?! [He roars, causing a flock of bats to fly through an open hole in the wall and above the boiler room.]
• Belle: (remaining firm) No.
• Beast: [Grunts]
• Belle: But I will keep wishing. And when the log is burned on Christmas morning…
• Beast: There will be no Christmas.
• Belle: But…
• Beast: (bellows, interrupting Belle) NO! I am the master here.
• Belle: (upset) How can you be so selfish?
• Beast: (bitterly) You cannot possibly understand. (Belle frowns as she listens to him ranting.) You have no idea what it’s like to lose everything, to be trapped in your own castle, to be, uh… (growls, losing focus)
• Belle: Prisoner? (Beast becomes silent, taken aback, as the boiler room staff watches Belle argue back.) The only one holding us prisoner here is you. Well, I’m not giving up. (She walks away from Beast and looks back at him one last time.)
• Beast: (holding the log, mournfully) Prisoner.
• (Belle then leaves the boiler room.)
• Belle: [Sighs]
• Chip: Hiya, Belle. You should see the ballroom. It’s all decorated and pretty. and there’s garlands everywhere. I think the master’s gonna be really excited when he finds out about Christmas.
• Belle: Well, he, he already knows.
• Chip: Really? Was he excited?
• Belle: Actually, Chip, he’s forbidden it.
• Chip: But, I thought he couldn’t forbid Christmas.
• Belle: You know, Chip, he can’t. We’ll have Christmas with or without him.
• Chip: Hooray! Can we get a tree now, Belle? It’s the only thing we’re missing.
• Belle: All right, then. Let’s go get a tree. But first…
• Chip: (whispering) Shh. Psst, Belle. (He sees the Beast on his way toward the West Wing.) The master. Hurry.
• (Belle sets the present aside the bell jar and runs off for the door. Beast enters his private room, growling to himself. Belle comes out from behind the door and walks down the hallway, undetected.)
• (Outside, Chip bounces through the snow, laughing and enjoying himself. Belle walks onto the castle grounds with an axe in her hand, as Sultan runs beside her, panting. The two friends come upon a skinny tree.)
• Chip: What about this one?
• Belle: Mmm… [Disapprovingly] Mmm. (Chip imagines an ornament appearing on the tree and bringing the tree down with its weight to the ground, similar to the one from "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Chip frowns at this.) Nah. Too skinny. Come on.
• Chip: [Exhales]
• [They continue through the castle grounds, as Axe is seen on Belle's shoulder, as he groans at this. All the while, Beast watches them, coldly from his West Wing, as thunder rumbles. The door is heard creaking, as Lumiere enters.]
• Lumiere: Ooo la-la.
• Beast: Ohh, Lumiere.
• Lumiere: (looking through the window, next to Beast) She’s beautiful, no?
• Beast: Yes, and I’m hideous.
• Lumiere: (softly) Not to mention ill-tempered.
• Beast: (offended) What? (He notices the present next to the bell jar.) What is that?
• Lumiere: Ooh, it looks like a Christmas present.
• Beast: [Roars]
• Lumiere: (keeping composure) Oh-ho-ho. It’s for you, Master. It’s from… a girl.
• Beast: Mrs Potts?
• Lumiere: No. From Belle.
• Beast: Belle? (He walks over to the present, curiously, and goes to untie the bow.)
• Lumiere: (interrupting) Uh-uh-uh. Master, you can’t open it.
• Beast: Well, why not? It’s for me, isn’t it?
• Lumiere: Because it’s not yet Christmas.
• Beast: [Growls]
• Lumiere: Master, we all understand how you feel about Christmas. But when a woman gives a man a gift, she’s saying, "I care about you."
• Beast: Hmm. But I don’t have a gift for her.
• Lumiere: It is not too late.
• Beast: (sighs, reluctantly) Well, I guess I could get her a little something.
• (In Forte's parlor, Forte plays a gloomy piece, when Beast arrives.)
• Beast: Forte, stop the noise!
• Forte: Noise? Noise?! This is my masterpiece.
• Beast: [Growls]
• Forte: Master.
• Beast: I, I want you to compose a song. It’s a present for Belle.
• Forte: What? Belle?
• Beast: And make it… happy!
• Forte: Oh, but happiness is so… depressing. What’s next? Love songs? (He plays a gloomy sounding sample, while Sultan is heard panting outside.) Wedding marches? (Beast leaves the parlor.) It’s all that girl’s fault.
• (Fife bounces into the parlor and looks through the window. Outside, Sultan barks and snarls, as he, Belle, and Chip have come upon another tree.)
• Belle: What about this one?
• Chip: Hmm, too wiggly.
• Belle: Too wiggly?
• (Back inside, Forte gets an idea.)
• Forte: Fife! [He sounds off blaring notes, as Fife gasps and looks at him.] Pay attention. I need you to pace when I think. The girl is evil, I tell you. She pulls him from my grasp. She fills his head with dreams of love and hope… and Christmas!
• Fife: Well, what you gonna do? You can’t stop Christmas.
• Forte: [Chuckles] No, but I can stop the girl.
• (Outside, Sultan continues barking, as Belle and Chip have come to the last tree.)
• Belle: Chip, this is the last one.
• Chip: That’s not it. That’s just a weed wishing it was a tree.
• Belle: Chip, we’ve looked at every tree on the grounds.

• But it’s more this way than that.
• It will have to do.
• - Aaach! Oy, gevault!
• - Oh.
• - What a headache I have.
• - I’m sorry.
• l… I’ll get a saw.
• No, that’s fine.
• I don’t want I should put you out.
• Oh, all right.
• Do you have some oil?
• I just thought a little massage…
• But if it’s no, it’s no.
• Go on. What are you waiting for?
• Knock yourself out.
• You never get headaches,
• I guess. Lucky you.
• - Really, I can get a saw.
• - Who wants a saw?
• I said go ahead with the whacking
• and the hitting. Who’s stopping you?
• [A dreary piece of music from Forte is heard inside.]
• - ♪♪ [Slow, Melodic]
• - [Belle] Shh. What is that?
• Ohh.
• It’s beautiful.
• ♪♪ [Continues]

• Forte: And now for a little Fife.
• [Fife makes a high-pitched whistle sound; Sultan hears and runs to find the source of it.]

• [Inhales Deeply, High-Pitched Whistling]
• [Howling]
• [Barking]

• Belle: Sultan, wait!
• [She rushes after him, leaving Axe on the ground.]
• Axe: Don’t worry yourself about me. I’ll just sit here. Snow is fine. A little wet, but who’s complaining?
• [The music continues; Sultan keeps following the music as Belle chases him from behind.]
• Forte: Yes, my dear. Come to me.
• Belle: Come here, boy. Come here.
• [She keeps following Forte's music until she passes through the west wing into Forte's chamber. The music stops; Sultan finds Fife.]
• Fife: Aah, good doggie, nice doggie.
• Belle: Sultan? (Enters Fife's room) Hello? Hello!
• Chip: P-p-perhaps there's nobody here. P-p-perhaps we should go.
• Belle: (Hears Sultan barking) What's the matter, Sultan?
• Fife: (Cowering from Sultan) Aahhhh!!!!
• Belle: Oh, hello. I don't believe we've met. I'm Belle. And you are?
• Fife: Fife.
• (Sultan growls at Fife)
• Belle: Down, boy, down. We heard the most beautiful music. Was it you?
• Fife: (Giggles) Me? You thought that was me?
• [He blushes and squeaks in reply; Forte finally gets her attention.]
• Forte: Mademoiselle, please. I am Master Forte, court composer and your most humble servant.
• Belle: [walks over to Forte] Pleased to meet you, Mr. Forte. I'm Belle.
• Forte: Yes, the whole castle is speaking about you, child. They say you are planning a Christmas Gala. Marvellous idea. The very fact to shatter the master's dark and gloomy past. But you must make this the grandest celebration ever. Have you gifts?
• Chip: Yes.
• Forte: Food?
• Chip: Yes.
• Forte: Garlands, ribbons, wreaths?
• Chip: Check.
• Forte: Spangles and fandangles? The trinkets, the trimmings, the trappings?
• Chip: Yup, I've had them all.
• Forte: The tree?
• Chip: You see, Belle? I warned you.
• Belle: Well, we found one.
• Chip: But it was on the piddling side of puny.
• Forte: (laughs) But did you look in the Black Forest? There, you will find a tree better than any you can ever dream of.
• Chip: Better? We have to go, Belle. We have to!
• Belle: Chip, we can't. I promised your master I wouldn't leave the castle grounds. I gave my word.
• Forte: Cheer up, son, there's a profound lesson here. Keeping your word is much more reluctant than bringing joy to another.
• Belle: You're twisting what I say.
• Forte: Not at all. I agree with you. Look after yourself. Let the master do the same. Never mind that the tree was always his favorite part of Christmas.
• Chip: Please, Belle, please?
• Belle: It looks dangerous.
• Forte: Mademoiselle, you are in more danger in this very room. I assure you.
• Belle: Alright.
• Chip: Yes!
• Belle: We'll take Philippe. If we hurry, we can be back by nightfall.
• Chip: Hurray!
• Belle: Farewell, Mr. Forte. You'll keep my secret, won't you?
• Forte: Of course, mademoiselle, the master will remain fully in the dark.
• Belle: Farewell, Fife.
• (She leaves)
• Fife: Farewell.
• Forte: Fife! I want you to follow her. Make sure they don't come back.
• Fife: Oh, but Maestro, she's so nice.
• Forte: If you are finished fawning, Fife, maybe you can recommend someone else to play your solo?
• Fife: No! I'm going, I'm going. (Leaves)
• (In the rose room, Beast is tidying up and humming to himself)
• Beast: Cogsworth!
• Cogsworth: Oh, yes, hang on, we're coming.
• Beast: CogswoooooOOOORTH!!!!
• Cogsworth: Running, running. Almost there. (enters the room) You bellowed, sir?
• Beast: Find Belle. I...uh...well...um...she has to hear a song.
• Cogsworth: Yes, sir. Right away, sir. Uh, yes. Splendid. Yes, splendid. (Looking for her) Belle. Belle? Where is she? Belle!
• Lumiere: Careful, careful. Too fast! Get out of the road. Stop!
• Angelique: Huh! Amateurs.
• Cogsworth: Belle? Excuse me, hello. Has anyone seen Belle? I can't find her anywhere and the Master is demanding to see her now. He has a song he wants her to hear.
• Lumiere: That's magnificent!
• Mrs. Potts: Last I saw of her, she was going with Chip to look for a Christmas tree.
• Cogsworth: Right, we must conduct a search of the ground. Lumiere, you're with me.
• Beast: Cogsworth, I'm waiting!
• Cogsworth: Oh, dear, oh, dear, very good, very good. I'm almost there. Mrs. Potts, stall the master. Alright, Lumiere, we have--Lumiere, please wait, I'm leaving. Me first, you second.
• Lumiere: (Outside) Belle? Belle! Where is she?
• Cogsworth: Belle? Belle!
• Lumiere: Belle, where are you?
• Cogsworth: Lumiere, wait.
• Lumiere: (Sees the tracks in the snow) The black forest! C'mon, hurry now!
• Cogsworth: Oh, dear! This is catastrophic!
• Lumiere: Cogsworth, quit dawdling.
• Cogsworth: I'm not dawdling, I'm waddling.
• Lumiere: Well, don't waddle then. We're in a hurry, you lazy old clock!
• (In the Beast's room)
• Beast: Huh.
• (He sighs. The clock ticks. He sighs again. The clock keeps ticking)
• Beast: Why am I yet waiting? Mrs. PoooooOOOOTTS!!!!
• Mrs. Potts: Alright, sir, hold on. Such a brisk day. You look positively chilled to the bone!
• Beast: Where's Belle?
• Mrs. Potts: How about a nice pot of tea, sir? Just a spot.
• (He takes the tea)
• Beast: Forte! Play Belle's song.
• ("Deck the Halls" starts playing)
• Beast: You're not singing.
• Forte: (sings dejectedly) Deck the halls with boughs of holly, fa la la la la.....
• Beast: Louder!
• Forte: (singing) 'Tis the season to be jolly.
• Mrs. Potts: A bit more tea, sir. Good for the heart, you know.
• Forte: (sings in the background)
• Beast: No. Thank you.
• Mrs. Potts: Just a spot.
• Beast: No more.
• Mrs. Potts: But there's always room for tea, love.
• Beast: I said no more!
• Mrs. Potts: Dearie me!
• Beast: Mrs. Potts, are you trying to distract me?
• Mrs. Potts: Goodness, no, sir. Heavens, is that a yellow-bellied double-breasted sapsucker? Rare this time of year.
• Beast: Enough! Where's Cogsworth? Where's Belle?
• Mrs. Potts: Belle? We can't find her, sir.
• Beast: What? Leave me! (Grabs the magic mirror) Show me the girl!
• (It shows Belle with the carriage and Philippe out in the snow. He believes that she is running off)
• Beast: I will bring her back!
• Forte: No! ...Um, she's abandoned you! Listen to your old friend, won't you? Have I ever steered you wrong? Lead you astray? No! But the girl...

• (Beast growls and leaves the room in a rage)
• (In the main room....)
• Angelique: No, no, no, no, no. You cannot make bells with holly. Still I have to admit......not bad for amateurs.
• (Beast snarls and enters the room. He knocks over the table and ruins all the decorations)
• Angelique: I knew this was hopeless.
• (In the Black Forest, Belle is out in the sleigh with Chip and Philippe. The snow is falling hard and the wolves are howling. Fife is hanging onto the back of the sleigh)
• Chip: (Sees a tree) There! That's it! That's it!
• Belle: Oh, Chip, it's perfect!
• (Philippe gingerly crosses the ice to the tree)
• Cogsworth: Do you see her?
• Lumiere: Not yet. Now come along, hurry up.
• Cogsworth: You go ahead. I'll never make it. Save yourself.
• Lumiere: It will be summer before we reach them. (Pushes Cogsworth into the snow)
• Cogsworth: What the...
• Lumiere: (Using Cogsworth as a sled) Hang on!
• Cogsworth: Whoa! Oh, dear!
• Lumiere: C'mon, follow me, faster, faster! I think we've eventually found a use for you. Clock boarding. No snow clocking. However! Let's go!
• Chip: It's the best tree ever!
• Belle: Chip, you're right.
• Axe: Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanukkah!
• Belle: We'd better hurry. It's getting stormy.
• Axe: Oi! Oi! Again, with the chopping.
• Fife: Oh, I have to do something. Forte's counting on me!
• Chip: Timbeeeeeeerrr!!!
• Belle: Take it away, Philippe.
• Fife: Oh, dear!
• (Fife tries to hold the sleigh back, but goes flying off it)
• Belle: Fife?
• Fife: Uh, hi, Belle. Nice tree.
• Belle: What are you doing way out here?
• Fife: Ah, nothing. I was just a....walking. I mean, I love the bitter cold.
• (He begins tooting, which upsets Philippe and causes him to break the ice)
• Belle: Philippe! Oh, dear!
• Chip: The tree, Belle! We're going to lose the tree! Nooo!
• (He goes flying into the water)
• Belle: Chip! Where is he?
• Chip: (Muffled) HEEELLLPPP!!!
• (Belle sees him and uses the axe to chop the ice. She jumps into the freezing lake after him. She catches him)
• Lumiere: Hold on, darling! I will save you!
• Cogsworth: Oh, dear.
• Fife: Oh, dear, oh, dear! Oh, my heavens! Oh, dear!
• (He spots her underneath the ice and toots)
• Axe: (rushes over to Fife and chops the ice, freeing Belle) Oi, oi, oi, oi!
• Belle: (Emerges from underneath the ice) Oh, Chip, thank goodness you're safe.
• Chip: I wasn't frightened.
• (The tree comes up underneath her and wraps the rope around her leg, pulling her back under the water)
• Belle: Oh, dear! No!
• (They all try to pull her back up, but she slips underneath the surface. Beast arrives, roaring. He jumps into the water and saves Belle)
• Chip: BELLE!
• Fife: Oh, dear! What have I done? It's all my fault.
• Lumiere: We all share some blame, my friend, for daring to hope for a Christmas.
• (In the dungeon....)
• Beast: You said you'd never leave.
• Belle: I wasn't trying to leave. I just wanted to make you happy.
• Beast: You broke your word and for that, you will rot in this dungeon forever.
• Belle: I should have known you'd never be anything but a Beast.
• (In the main room, a bell tolls twelve)
• Lumiere: Midnight. Merry Christmas, Cogsworth.
• Cogsworth: If only it were.
• Forte: Oh, my darling old friend. I warned you not to feel for her. Facts were so much simpler before she came along, before we dared to.....hope.
• Beast: Oh, I thought she was the one.
• (In the dungeon....)
• Chip: Belle?
• Lumiere: Hello, darling.
• Mrs. Potts: There she is.
• Lumiere: Merry Christmas.
• Chip: Doesn't look so special to me.
• Belle: Oh, Chip, I'm sorry. Nothing's changed.
• Angelique: I warned you nothing would change. I warned you the master would not allow this. I warned you Christmas was a hopeless folly. But...I was wrong.
• ["As Long As There's Christmas (Reprise)":]
• Angelique: (sings) If I felt lost and lonely, not a dream in my head. Your words lifted my spirits high, remember what you said. As long as there's Christmas, I truly believe.
• Angelique/Belle: (singing) That hope is the greatest of the gifts we'll receive, as long as our shining star shines above.
• Angelique: (singing) There'll always be Christmas.
• Belle: But there always will be a time, if the world is filled with peace and loooooOOOOVE!!!!
• (Back in Forte's room.....)
• Forte: Ah, it tears me up to see you this fashion, master. Why do you torment yourself? [referring to the rose] There's the symbol of your curse. (Indicating it) Destroy it! And end these adolescent notions of love and redemption. End your pain forever.
• (The Beast lifts the cover off of the rose)
• Forte: Yes! Do it! Smash it!
• (The Beast growls and raises his arm to smash the rose. A petal falls and lands on the gift, which Belle left for the Beast next to the rose; he snaps out of it and notices it.)
• Beast: Belle?
• Forte: What are you doing here? What is this? Oh, a storybook. Does this one had pretty pictures you can color? (Laughs) Utterly dreadful, master.
• Beast: No! This one's different. It's from Belle.
• Forte: Well, that would account for the creative wrapping.
• Beast: QUIET!!!!! I want to read.
• [He sits down near the fire and begins reading.]
• Belle: (Voice-over) Once upon a time, there was an enchanted castle. His master seemed as cold as winter. Deep inside his heart-----his cries of anger echoed through the stone wall of the castle--though surrounded by servants, he was all alone. And in that simple act of kindness, he knew someone cared. Christmas that year was spent exchanging humble gifts, but the greatest gift that anyone received was the gift of hope.
• Beast: Huh...hope?
• [He stands up]
• Forte: No, master! Come back!
• [Beast leaves]
• Forte: She'll only prolong your torment!
• (Back in the dungeon.....)
• Chip: You know what, Belle? I don't need a tree to celebrate Christmas.
• Lumiere: And I can do without mistletoe.
• Cogsworth: Well, I don't need tinsel.
• Lumiere: Oh, I don't need holly.
• Cogsworth: And I don't need a wreath.
• Lumiere: I don't need ornaments.
• Cogsworth: And I...don't need turkey!
• Lumiere: I don't need stuffing.
• Cogsworth: I don't need pudding!
• ["A Cut Above The Rest":]
• Lumiere: (sings) To each his own my friend, you know how to get me stressed, but if it comes to making Christmas special.
• Cogsworth: (singing) I'm a cut above the rest.
• Lumiere: (singing) If you could see facts clearly, you would say that I've been blessed.
• Cogsworth: (singing) You can't hold a candle to my timing.
• Lumiere: (singing) Ahh! I'm a cut above the rest.
• Belle: (singing) You belong side by side, you should never be apart. Because if you're both together, you're really twice as smart.
• Cogsworth: (Spoken) Twice as smart? She does have a point.
• Lumiere: (Spoken) Yes, well, two heads are better than one.
• Cogsworth: (singing) I'd say that as a team, we have to be the best.
• Lumiere: (singing) Now we've found something we both agree on, we're a cut above the rest.
• Lumiere/Cogsworth: (singing) There's no doubt that as a team, we two are the very best. Everyone who knows us must agree, we're a cut above the rest.
• Lumiere/Cogsworth/Belle: (singing) There's no doubt that as a team.
• Belle: (singing) You two are the very best, everyone who knows you must agree.
• Lumiere/Cogsworth: (singing) We're a cut...
• Belle: (singing) A cut above....
• Lumiere/Cogsworth: (singing) Above the rest!
• Chip: Uh-oh! It's the master.
• (Beast enters)
• Beast: Uh, Belle. Can you forgive me?
• Belle: Of course. Merry Christmas.
• All: (Cheering)
• Beast: Let's give Belle the Christmas she's always wanted.
• [In Forte's room, Forte is not at all pleased]
• Forte: So, Beast gets girl and it's a happy ending for everyone. Enchantment lifted and Forte fades into the background. No longer important, no longer needed. I THINK NOT!!!
• [He begins playing loud music, which shakes the castle to pieces.]
• Chip: What is this, Mama? What's going on?
• [Forte starts laughing manically as the dungeon begins to collapse]
• Fife: Forte.
• (He leaves)
• Mrs. Potts: Hurry now, hurry! (Trying to get everyone out of the road of the falling debris)
• Forte: Can you believe I never took a lesson?!
• (The floor between him and Belle separates)
• Belle: Oh, dear! Help!
• Beast: Belle!
• Fife: Maestro, stop! What do you think you're doing?
• Forte: Don't you see, Fife? They can't fall in love if they're dead!
• Fife: I'll warn you what I see: a big old windbag! (Laughs evilly)
• Forte: You could have joined me, Fife, but I see my triumph is a solo act.
• (Papers begin to fly about and one lands in Fife's hands)
• Fife: My solo! It's blank!
• Forte: (laughs evilly) So naive. You're second fiddle, Fife and that's all you'll ever be.
• Beast: Forte!
• Forte: We can remain as we are forever and ever! (Laughs evilly)
• Beast: FORTE! (Enters his room; the music briefly stops) Enough!
• Forte: Heavens! Master. YOU'RE NOT SINGING!!!
• (He blasts the Beast with music)
• (Belle places a plank of wood across the crack in the dungeon floor and leads everyone across the floor)
• Belle: But be careful.
• (Everyone enters the room. The shaking has almost knocked the rose and jar off the table)
• Lumiere: Oh, no! The bell jar!
• Cogsworth: Got it! Got it!
• Angelique: Be careful!
• Forte: (Yet blasting music) Is this happy enough for you, master?! I know I'M DOWNRIGHT GIDDY!!!
• Fife: Master, the keyboard!
• (Beast lifts the keyboard, breaking it and ending Forte's dark music. The music blasts fade out of the pipes.)
• Cogsworth: I have it! I have it! Whoa! Whoa! (Puts the jar back on the table).
• (The Beast throws his keyboard into Forte, destroying it. Forte screams and struggles to play; the restraints holding him to the wall break off and he comes tumbling down.)
• Forte: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
• (Belle and Beast get out of the way just as Forte crashes to the ground, never to be heard of again. Once everything has gone quiet, Belle and Beast reenter the room to see leftover music sheets float down amongst the remains of the now dead Forte.)
• Beast: Forte.
• (Fades to black. In the ballroom...)
• Mrs. Potts: Oh, yes, it is lovely.
• Lumiere: And you said it was impossible.
• Angelique: Uh-uh-uh-uh, I said it was impossible without me.
• Cogsworth: Everyone, shh-shh. Here they come!
• Chip: Wow!
• Cogsworth: The setting is perfect. Oh, aren't they beautiful?
• (Belle and the Beast enter, dressing the same clothes they wear in the dancing scene in the original movie)
• Belle: It's wonderful!
• (Everyone cheers)
• (Present time, back in the transformed castle...)
• Mrs. Potts: And what a wonderful Christmas it was. I suppose if anyone saved Christmas, it was Belle.
• Prince Adam: Merry Christmas, one and all!
• All: Merry Christmas.
• Cogsworth: A Merry Christmas to you, sir.
• Lumiere: Merry Christmas, everyone.
• Belle: I believe we have a little something for you, Chip.
• Chip: A present? Oh, boy! Thank you all!
• (The Prince removes a package from his coat and hands it to Chip)
• Chip: Oh, look, Mama, a storybook! Will you read it to me?
• Mrs. Potts: I'd love to, son.
• Chip: Oh, boy!
• Prince Adam: Maestro.
• Fife: Yes, master?
• Prince Adam: Would you do us the honor, old friend?
• Fife: I'd be delighted.
• (Music strikes up. The Prince Adam leads Belle out onto the balcony and gives her a gift. She opens it and finds a single rose. They turn and look out at the night heavens together)
