Question 11

Hint… hint.

Answer 11

Like you?

Question 12

Papa… if I ask you something, will you answer me honestly?

Question 24

Don’t I always?

Answer 24

Do you think I’m… odd?

Question 25

My daughter? Odd? Now, where would you get an idea like that?

I don't know. It's just that well, people talk.

Question 26

(MAURICE) You're not happy here.

Answer 26

I'm surrounded by people but I've never felt so alone.

Question 27

I felt that way before I met your mother.

Answer 27

How did you know she was the one for you?

I don't know.

Question 29

It will. Trust your papa.

Answer 29

I love you.

My daughter, my beautiful beautiful Belle. Now... what do you say we give her a try? All right. Stand back?

Answer 30

It works! Papa, you did it! You really did it! You'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow, I know it!

Question 31

Who knows, maybe I will at that!

Answer 31

Oh, I almost forgot, I made you a scarf for good luck.

Question 32

Now I know I'll win. And then we'll get out of this town adn travel to all those places you've read about in your books. Well, I'm off!

Answer 32

Goodbye papa.

Question 33

(MAURICE) Bye-bye Belle.

Answer 33

Be careful.

Question 34

Belle! Oh Belle, anyone home? HELLOOOOOOOO

Answer 34

Gaston? What a pleasant surpise.

Dogs?

Question 37

No Belle! Strapping boys, like me!

Answer 37

Imagine that!

Question 38

So Belle, what'll it be? Is it "yes" or is it "ohhh yes"?

Answer 38

I just don't deserve you.

Question 39

(LES FILLES) Get out of my way! Ow! Let go! Gaston!

Answer 39

Is he gone? Can you imagine... he asked me to marry him! Me, the wife of that boorish, brainless...

Question 40

Belle! Have you seen Gaston?

Answer 40

You just missed him. Wait a minute, where did you get that scarf?

Question 41

This? In the woods. It's pretty nice huh?

Answer 41

That belongs to my father!

Question 42

Yeah, well, finder's-keepers.

Think!

Question 44

Somewhere in the woods!

Answer 44

Harder!

Question 45

Near the crossroads, okay? Ow.

Answer 45

Something must have happened. Lefou, you have to take me back!

Question 46

Oh no, not the woods again!

Answer 46

Take me!

Question 47

Not on your life!

Answer 47

Then I'll find him myself!

Question 48

Yes, I mean no! I mean... wait a minute! Wait a minute!

I won't leave you here! Who's there? I know someone's there! Who are you?

Question 53

The master of this castle.

Answer 53

Then, you're the one who's responsible for this! Release my father at once.

Question 54

I am the master of this castle! I do not take orders from anyone. Throw her out!

Answer 54

No Wait! Forgive me! Please, let him out. Can't you see he's not well?

Question 55

Then he should not have trespassed here.

Answer 55

But he's an old man. He could die!

Answer 60

If I did, would you let him go?

Question 61

(BEAST)... forever. (MAURICE) No!

Answer 61

Forever?

Answer 78

Wait. This is impossible!

Question 79

Ah, here we are. I wore this the night I performed at the Royal Opera. The King himself was there! Of course, I wouldn't have a prayer of fitting into it now. Take it!

Answer 79

That's very kind of you, but I'm not going to dinner.

Question 84

You're hungry if I say you're hungry

Answer 84

Don't be ridiculous

Question 85

(ARGUMENT W/ BELLE) What did you say?

Answer 85

You can't go around ordering people to be hungry, it doesn't work that way.

Question 86

I can—

Answer 86

Besides, it's rude.

Question 87

Why are you being so difficult?

Answer 87

Why are you being such a bully?

So you admit you're being a bully.

Question 89

(BEAST) .....Please.

Answer 89

No thank you.

I know the master can be temperamental, but he's not such a bad fellow. Why don't you give him a chance?

Answer 90

Did he give my father a chance?

Question 91

Well no but once you get to know him..

Answer 91

I don't want to get to know him. I don't want to have anything to do with him!

Oh no.. no no! I have been burnt by you before!

Oh I couldn't possibly go to bed now. It's my first time in an enchanted castle!

Question 98

Who said anything about the castle being enchanted? It was you wasn't it?

Answer 98

I figured it out for myself. I'd like to look around if that's alright.

Question 99

We can't have you know who go poking around you know where if you know what I mean.

Answer 99

Perhaps you'd like to take me. I'm sure you know everything there is to know about the castle.

Question 100

May I draw your attention to the flying buttresses above the aviary?

Answer 100

Oh Lumiere, it's all so beautiful. Like a dream. If only he weren't here.

Question 101

And that's the last time a stone of that weight was quarried in this area...

Nothing at all of any interest in the west wing!

Ah.. So that's the west wing.

Question 103

Nice going.

Answer 103

I wonder what he's hiding up there.

Question 104

Hiding? What an idea... hiding.

Answer 104

Then it wouldn't be forbidden, would it?

Answer 112

Promise or no promise, I won't stay here.
