"Put that down immediately or I'll take your eyes out!" "Daddybear, do something." "They're taking everything, our jewels, our beds, everything." "It's the end, I want to die." "Clotilde, would you please not call me "Daddybear" in front of these people?" "And you Anne, stop talking about dying!" "Oh, my heart!" "It wants to beat no more." "Are you happy now?" "Farewell!" "As you can see, Daddybear, it's a disaster." "What will become of us?" "Someone's calling for you." "Where is Belle?" "Belle, Belle." "He only cares about her." " They've lost everything." " Oh, my God!" " I used to work for them!" "Wake up already!" "Maxime, come help us!" "Put it there." " What's inside it?" " All my books." "My notebooks, my sketches..." "I know them by heart, but I don't want to leave them here." "Tristan!" " What is it?" " Keep an eye on your father." "And don't let Maxime squander what little you have left." "Of course." "Don't worry." "I promise." "Everything will be alright." "Be careful." " Aha ha ha!" " Ha ha!" "If I hear one more of them laughing, I'll break his nose." "Ignore them." "Now what?" "Are we going to have some fun before leaving to the country?" "Don't you think it would be better to stay away?" "Belle!" "Belle!" "This is for you, Mom." "A new life is beginning for us and I think I'm ready." "Do you think she would have liked to live in the countryside?" " She would have loved it." " I will like it, too." " I am sure." " Obviously." "We have pride and courage in our family." "We will stick together as we always have." "Theyneededsometimetoget used to their new life."

"Anne, come right now!" "Her again." "Her happiness digusts me." "It makes me want to drown her in the well." "And I want to bury her alive in her blasted garden." "What are you two doing?" "Clotilde is feeling sick, so we will have breakfast in bed." " No, you won't." "And after lunch we'll all go work in the garden." " I'd rather die." " Get up!" "Everybody downstairs!" "Exhausted... comma pierced by arrows the young man left the battlefield and took shelter in the forest." "One could say that they were very happy to see me at the "Maritime Affaires"." "Dumont was very nice." "Apparently, his eldest daughter married a count." " What?" "No!" "But, the big news is that "The Mermaid", your mother's favourite ship, has been found." "She drifted along the shore and washed up in the harbour." " What about the load?" " Completely intact." "My children, I belive we are saved!" "Let's pack our things." "Actually no, let's just throw everything in the fire." "I can feel my heart beating again." "I am alive, Daddybear." "I am reborn." "We can't go back to town in this state." "No." "We'll need new dresses, perfume, and... what else?" "We'll make a list." " Yes." "We'll have the happiness of the town!" " The town, the real town!" "Will you go with me to town?" "It is time I introduced my successor to Dumont." "I will not disappoint you, Father." "Thank you." "After defeating the last one of his enemies, the young man returned home." "Triumphant and acknowledged by his people." "The end." " A new novel, my brother?" " Something even better." "This one will be a masterpiece." "What are you doing?" "Are you angry?" "Obviously." "When a girl is sad, they say she's angry." "And when she's too happy, they say she's crazy." "How can you expect to be understood?" "Everybody's happy but you." "I would have liked to stay here longer." "That's all." "There he is." "We only came here to hide our shame, but our life is not here." "You know as well as I do what's going to happen." "Maxime will hang out with those rogues he calls friends again." "Anne and Clotilde will go out every evening to look for husbands." "And you will always be busy with your work." "Belle, one day or another we will no longer be together." "You will grow up and you will want to start your own life." "But that won't mean we don't love each other any more." "It will only mean that you've grown up." "Be sure not to forget anything." "Clotilde won't take it very well." "And you, what would you like me to bring for you?" "Only a rose." "I couldn't grow any here." "Theyhavetakeneverythingfrom me." "Theyevenrefusetoletmeboardmyship." "You have to accept the situation." ""The Mermaid" and all its load don't belong to you any more." "They treat me like I were nothing, when without me this place would still be a fishing port." "And you allow this!" "You seem to be lacking common sense, my poor friend." "You signed all the promissory notes, even though I warned you not to." "Don't patronize me, Dumont." "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be sitting behind this desk." "Have you lost your manners as well as your wealth?" " I am going to smash your head!" " Stop that immediately!" "Don't you understand?" "You no longer have any power." "You're supposed to be a wealthy, important man, but you're nothing." "I feel sorry for you, Father." "Maxime!" "I see a man." "You should be careful." "He will bring you important news." " News?" "Good or bad?" " You know very well that depends on the other cards." "Don't you want to please me, Astrid?" "Tell me something exciting." "I am like the cards love, I can't lie to you." "Did I not warn you about your scar?" "A torrent of gold under an emerald moon." "Your fate is smiling at you." "Gold, emeralds!" "Ha ha ha!" "Come on, my vermins!" "Didn't I tell you that we'd become rich?" "This is a bad night." "It smells like gunpowder." " What would you like?" " I am looking for my son." " I was told that he often comes here." " I am used to hearing that." "But still, I feel sorry for you." "What is your son's name?" "Maxime de Beaufremont." "You should have spoken more quietly." "I will have to let you leave through the back entrance." " But I have to find my son!" " You're not the only one." "Quickly, go behind the counter." "Your scent... your prophecies..." "You have too much power over me." "Monsieur de Beaufremont." "I have been looking for Maxime for months and I come across his old father." "I don't know you." " Who are you?" " Perducas." "At your service." "Your little boy owes me a lot of money." "That's why you and I will strike a deal and everything will be forgiven." "My son is not a gambler!" "Serve them a round of drinks so that they may leave me in peace." "He thinks we are lying to him." "You won't be doing that here, Perducas." "You know that." "Leave the poor man alone." "All right." "Move back." "And you, go quickly behind the counter." "Go on, hurry up!" "I wish you luck because he won't leave you alone." "Now leave, quickly!"

"But this is not the house." "Is anyone there?" "I've lost my way." "And the door was open." "Who's there?" "Am I dreaming?" "Or have I died and gone to heaven?" "No, I am quite alive." "And I'm hungry." "I will help myself to some of the things on the table." "All right?" "The dresses..." "The shawls..." "The blusher..." "Incredible, all these things are here." "Well, almost all." "But who took care of you?" "Are my presents not enough for you?" "Do you also have to steal what I tresure most?" "I won't be treated as a thief nor a coward." "I am a just and honourable man." "Who did you pick this rose for?" "My youngest daughter." "She is the most precious thing to me." "Then I will give you one day to say goodbye to your loved ones." "You only need to whisper the words:" ""more than anything in the world,"" "to your horse, and he will bring you here." " I will not return." " Oh, yes you will." "Otherwise, I will kill all your family, one after another." "I will kill your youngest daughter last, since she's your favorite." "Remember..." "A life for a rose." "There!" "Yes, it's him!" "I can see him down there!" "Father!" "Father!" "This story about a beast and a rose, it makes no sense." "Well how do you explain that then?" "You can very well see it's real." "Morethananythingintheworld ." " And as if by magic the horse will find its way to the castle?" " It's our fault, it's all our fault." " It wasn't you who asked for that flower." " It's nobody's fault!" "Silence." "I can not tell you who this Beast is, but... for having stolen this rose, I have to go back there in a few hours." " What will he do to you?" " I do not know, Tristan." "He said - "a life for a rose"." " And if you don't comply?" " Then we'll die." "All of us." "Don't say anything." "I know what they're all thinking." " That Mum died while giving birth to me." " I don't understand what you mean." "I will not be responsible for your death as well!" "Belle!" "Belle!" "Belle!" "Don't forget to love me." "Belle!" "Belle!" "Belle!" " Belle!" " Father, no!" "Father!" "Guide me to the castle and take me to that Beast." "More than anything in the world." "Alifeforarose ."

"Itwasthebeatingofhisheart." "My name is Belle." "I came to exchange my life for the life of my father." "Sit down." "Eat." "When you have regained your strength, you can go for a walk anywhere on the estate." "But when night falls, I forbid you to go out of the castle." "If I must die, let it be now." "You have more courage than your father." "Every evening, at this hour, you have to be here." "Don't even think about escaping." "The forest will close in on you." " Would you like me to stop reading?" " No, I want to hear the rest." " It makes me sad that she's all alone." "Poor her." " That's true, she felt very much alone."

" But one of them will win your heart." " Well, then I'll make his life a living hell." "Here they are." "I always knew you weren't faithful to me." "And now, I am going to eat you." "Get your filthy hands off her!" "Well, my friend, since you didn't catch the doe, you won't be getting a reward." " You still haven't stopped hunting the doe?" " She has been eluding me for years." "But I will catch her, I can feel it." "An she will be my biggest trophy." "After you." "Look at the present we gave him." "Golden arrows, like the skin of the doe." "Let's go, I'm thirsty." "We need to drink." "Still, he should have joined me." "I've had enough." "You smell like a beast." "Love, I want to ask you something." " What?" " I want you to stop hunting the doe." " But why?" " I don't want you to be gone for days on end trying to catch her." "I feel terribly lonely here, without you." "All right." "But under one condition." "Give me a son." "Bellewasafraidofleavingherroomforalongtime." "She was afraid that the Beast would be hiding in the shadows." "Buthercuriositywas strongerthan herfear." "Shewantedto explorethe estateand see just how far her prison stretched." "Princess..." "ThatwashowBellerealised that many years ago,  ormaybeevencenturiesago,  therelivedandlovedanotherwoman , who died in that damned castle." ""Why me?" - she asked the statue sadly." ""Why do you disturb my dreams?"" "Feeling very sad, Belle ran to her room, to wait for the bell that announced her meeting with her strange prisoner." "You're late." " Do you like your new dress?" " Don't come to my room ever again." " I would like to remind you that I have every right to." " We'll see about that." "Don't look at me." "Eat." " And you, don't you eat?" " No." "Not in front of you." "May I talk or should I eat in silence like a child?" "It's what you are." "An arrogant child." "I like it when people think I am childish and useless." " That way..." " You talk too much!" "I am sure that you like it, the fact that I fill the void." " Who does this castle belong to?" " Everything here belongs to me." "You sound like any other men." "It's pretty disappointing." "Do I disappoint you, my love?" "Is there anything else you don't like about me?" "Are you not going to say anything else?" "I've been waiting night and day for you to decide my destiny." "You're playing with me as if I were a mouse in your paws." "If you accept my offer..." "I would fulfill all your desires." "You think that a beast like you can make a woman like me happy?" "Don't look at me!" "Don't look at me!" "I know what I am!" "You can resist me all you want, but you will be mine!" ""Eat!" "Don't look at me!" Do this, do that." "I will show him!" "What is this?" "Oh, it's me!" "It's a spitting image of me." "What a wonderful gift." "I wonder who could have made such a beautiful doll?" "Where are you hiding?" "Come out, I won't eat you." "I will put it here." "That way I will always have it close by." "...listen to our song..." "My friends, today is a big day." "Our kingdom will finally have an heir." "And you, madam?" "Would you like me to make you a little heir?" " You need a kingdom for that." " Let's pray he doesn't look like his father." " What are you thinking about?" " The first time we met." "At the river." "You approached the bank and you pretended to be undressing." "You were drowning." "I can swim better than you." "What if we went back to our room?" "Don't forget your promise." "Which one?" "The golden doe." "Whenshewokeup, Bellewent  to explore the castle." "Shewasdeterminedtosolve the mystery of the Beast." "Shegotlostina maze ofcorridors and crumbling bridges  butfeelingthatshe was beingfollowed." "I apologize for last night." "You were right." "You do fill an immense void." "Do you like my gifts?" " Why don't you answer?" " I miss my family." "Forget them." "They no longer exist." "For you it may be convenient not to think of the past." " But I can't give it up." " What do you know about me?" "Nothing." "Nothing." "You are right." "I would like to propose a deal." " A few hours with my family." " For what?" "A dance." "You will let me see them in return." " You're doing this out of pity for me." " I will lead the dance if it scares you so much." "Dancing with me doesn't scare you?" "Just let yourself go." "Can you love me?" "We had a deal." "Hold your promise." "It's been a long time that I no longer make any promises." "You wrap yourself in princely clothes, you think you're a man, but you're nothing but a cruel and lonely beast." "You can try all you want, bribe me, beitch me, but you will always disgust me!" "Now you know exactly what I am." "Tell me again that I digust you." "Tell me!" "I will let you see your family one last time." "Really?" "You're not saying this to torture me?" "You have one day." "No more." "You'll leave at dawn." " Give me your hand." " Which one?" "I don't know." "I doesn't matter." "The left one." " You're not going to give me a ring?" " Just be quiet a little." "Listen." "You know the power of this water." "If you get hurt, if anything happens to you at all..." " Nothing will happen to me." "I must get ready." " Belle, if you don't come back..." " I know, you will kill us all." "No." "I will die." "I'll be here tomorrow." "At this time." "Who's there?" "I'm warning you, I am armed!" "Belle!" "The house is a mess." " What are you doing with these weapons?" " Ask Maxime." " Shut your mouth." "Go back to your post, damn it." " Go back to my post?" " You think you're a general?" "What an idiot." " Enough, enough." " You're not going to start this again?" " Stop defending him." " You're so scared, you keep drinking wine all day." " Me scared?" " Stop it!" "Stop it!" " What is going on here?" "Have you all gone crazy?" "Come on up." "Everything will be fine." "Don't worry." "Selling us as slaves to pay for Maxime's debts is out of the question." "They will put us on a ship full of sweating sailors." "Will they make us clean the hull?" "We'll tell them that we're sea-sick and that we don't know how to clean." "Oh, yes!" "Anne?" "Clotilde?" " I have come back." " Clotilde, do you see what I see?" "It's Belle's ghost, come to haunt us." " All in red, covered in blood." " You're not dreaming, my dear sisters." "It's really me." "I came to say goodbye for the last time." " Even dead she's more beautiful than us." " Just look at her tiny waist." " Know that I will always love you." " We love you too, sweetheart." "We think about you all the time." " She made me take your room." " Oh no, what have you done?" "I will have my revenge." "Where's Dad?" "He's been so sad since you left, that he won't wake up." "What kind of a dress is that?" "Dad?" "It's me." "Belle." "I'm here." "Wake up, dear Father." "Do it for me." "Dad." "Dad." "Have you ever seen a stone this big?" " Do you remember the trunks Father brought from the castle?" " Oh no, don't even think about it." "I forbid you." " It's our only chance, Tristan." " You'll only go out this door over my dead body." "Look at how her flank is shaking." "I can almost feel her smell." " Her time has come." " She's mine, understood?" "I am the nymph of the forest." "I had the right to take a human form." "I wanted to know the thing humans call love." "I had you." "My prince." "Forgive me." "Father." "God of the forest." "Spare the one I adore." "He gave me eternal love." "Father... spare him." "Aterriblevoiceresoundedinthesky:" ""Forhavingkilledmmy daughter I will make you a beast." "Onlya womanwillbeable tosaveyou." "Butwhowouldloveyou?" "Be cursed for eternity." "You're betraying Belle."

"My boys dressed up just to meet your sisters." " I have a proposition for you." " I'm not making any more deals with you." "I've been very patient." "Look." "It's from an abandoned castle." "I'll take you there and you'll get the rest of the treasure." "And you'll forget my debt." " How many stones like this one are there?" " There are trunks full of them." "Don't disappoint me, my rabbit." "This is your last chance." "You know that." "Tell your men to follow me." "Do what he says." ""More than anything in the world.""

" This is the happiest day of my life!" "Careful, you'll crush me!" "Did you feel something?" "Danger." "I can feel it, it's everywhere." "Everything we desire, right?" "Let's go." "You three, go to the west." "The others, take the east." "You my rabbits, you will go in front of me." "...Astrid enough fear... enough blood..."

"I hate it when you're far from me." "Where were you?" "If I tell that we have to leave now, will you follow me?" " Is this gold?" " This arrow is very powerful." "I feel that this will give us more than just wealth." "We will be respected." "We'll be above everything." "Open your eyes." "We've finally found what we've always wanted." "How do I know you won't come back here later to steal my treasure?" "If you don't believe me any more, belive the prophecy of the cards." " What have you seen?" " Death." " Yours or mine?" " Which do you prefer?" "Neither, my love." "And since you're not sure about anything, we'll say that this one over here will die tonight." "Well?" "This gate will not open by itself." "An abandoned castle you say, ha?" "Buck up, my rogues!" "We have to visit the floors as well." "We should find another way." "It's the ribbon I lost on my way here." "It can't be too far from here." "Belle, what are you doing?" "Belle, stop, you'll hurt yourself." "Belle, come back!" "Come back, Belle!" "Belle, please, come back!" "Belle!" "God of the forest, hear me." "Let me go back to him." "It's my only wish." "My one desire." "You were wrong." "There was no one waiting for us on the inside." "Don't spoil the fun." "I am rich." "Now, I can fulfill all your desires." " My desire that we would die together?" " Your cards don't decide any more." "I decide." "What's wrong with him?" "Why is he screaming?" " Where are our brothers?" " Over there, with Perducas." "He will kill them!" "Maxime!" "Save yourself." "Ask Belle to forgive me." " No." " Go, leave!" "You can ask her yourself." "Stop!" "You, my little one, you will help me." "Let her go!" "What are you?" " A lion?" "A big cat?" " The one who will drain your blood." "You can purr as long as you want." "But if you don't want me to damage your doll, you'll let me go." "I beg you!" "Remember that you were a man." "Spare this vermin and let my brothers go." "The important thing is that I'm here." "That I will stay with you." "Help me!" "Come on, quickly!" "Don't leave me!" "Love, your fate will be just like mine." "Come help me!" "Hurry up!" "Put him in the pool, quickly!" "He's not breathing." "Don't worry about us." "Come on, brothers." "We've missed our dinner."
