Belle: Paige O' Hara
Gaston: Richard White

BELLE
Little town, it's a quiet village
Ev'ry day like the one before
Little town, full of little people,
waking up to say:

TOWNSPERSON 1-5
Bonjour! Bonjour!
Bonjour! Bonjour! Bonjour!

BELLE
There goes the baker with his tray, like always,
the same old bread and rolls to sell
Ev'ry morning just the same,
since the morning that we came,
to this poor provincial town

BAKER: Good morning, Belle!
BELLE: 'Morning monsieur
BAKER: Where are you off to?
BELLE: The bookshop I just finished the most wonderful story--about a
beanstalk and an ogre and a
BAKER: That's nice Marie, the baguettes! Hurry up!

WOMEN
Look, there she goes-
That girl is strange, no question
Dazed and distracted, can't you tell?

WOMAN
Never part of any crowd

BARBER
'Cause her head's upon some cloud

TOWNSPEOPLE
No denying she's a funny girl that Belle!

MAN 1 WOMAN1

WOMAN2 MAN2

WOMAN 3 MAN3

LIBRARIAN: Ah, Belle!
BELLE: Good morning! I've come to return the book I borrowed
LIBRARIAN: Finished already?
BELLE: Oh, I couldn't put it down Have you got anything new?
LIBRARIAN: Not since yesterday!
BELLE: That's allright I'll borrowthis one
LIBRARIAN: That one? But you've read it twice!
BELLE: Well, it's my favorite! Far off places, daring swordfights,
magic spells, a prince in disguise!
LIBRARIAN: If you like it all that much, it's yours
BELLE: But sir!
LIBRARIAN: I insist!
BELLE: Well, thank you Thank you very much!

MEN
Look, there she goes
The girl is so peculiar!
I wonder if she's feeling well

WOMEN
With a dreamy, far off look,

MEN
and her nose stuck in a book,

TOWNSPEOPLE
what a puzzle to the rest of us is Belle!

BELLE
Now isn't this amazing!
It's my favorite part because--you'll see!
Here's where she meets Prince Charming
But she won't discover that it's him 'til chapter three!

CUSTOMER
Now it's no wonder that her name means 'Beauty'
Her looks have got no parallel

SHOPKEEPER
But behind that fair facade, I'm afraid she's rather odd
Very different from the rest of us,

TOWNSPEOPLE
She's nothing like the rest of us
Yes, different from the rest of us is Belle!

LEFOU: Wow! You didn't miss a shot, Gaston You're the greatest hunter
in the whole world!
GASTON: I know
LEFOU: No beast alive stands a chance against you-- and no girl for
that matter
GASTON: It's true, Lefou And I've got my sights set on that one
LEFOU: The inventor's daughter?
GASTON: She's the one-- the lucky girl I'm going to marry
LEFOU: But she's
GASTON: The most beautiful girl in town
LEFOU: I know, but
GASTON: That makes her the best! And don't I deserve the best?
LEFOU: Well, of course I mean you do, but

GASTON
Right from the moment when I met her, saw her,
I said, "She's gorgeous" and I fell
Here in town there's only she who is beautiful as me
So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle!

WOMEN
Look there he goes
Isn't he dreamy?
Monsieur Gaston, oh he's so cute!
Be still, my heart, I'm hardly breathing
He's such a tall, dark, strong and handsome brute!

TOWNSPEOPLE GASTON TOWNSPEOPLE

GASTON

TOWNSPEOPLE
Look, there she goes
The girl is strange, but special
A most peculiar mademoiselle!
It's a pity and a sin she doesn't quite fit in
But she really is a funny girl
A beauty but a funny girl
She really is a funny girl, that Belle
