Belle : [to Lumiere] What happens when the last petal falls?
Lumière : The master remains a beast forever and we become...
Mrs. Potts : [sadly] Antiques!
Lumière : Knick-knacks.
Plumette : Lightly-used housewares.
Cogsworth : Rubbish. We become rubbish.
Belle : I want to help you. There must be some way to break the curse.
Cogsworth : Well, there is one.
[Lumiere hits him]
Mrs. Potts : It's not for you to worry about, lamb. We've made our bed, and we must lie in it.

Beast : [to Belle, gruffly] You'll join me for dinner. That's not a request.
Mrs. Potts : Gently, Master. The girl lost her father *and* her freedom in one day.
Lumière : Yes, the poor thing is probably in there scared to death.
Belle : [Unbeknownst to them, Belle has turned her pink gown into a rope so she can escape. The Beast knocks on her bedroom door again, softly this time; nervously] Just a minute.
Lumière : You see? There she is. Now remember: Be gentle.
Mrs. Potts : Kind.
Plumette : Mmm, charming.
Cogsworth : Sweet!
Lumière : And when she opens the door, give her a dashing, debonaire smile! Come, come, show me the smile!
Cogsworth : [the Beast gives a wide smile, showing his monstrous teeth. The servants react in fright] Oh, dear!
Plumette : Oh, no!
Beast : [his smile vanishes; he gathers himself and pretends to be gracious] Will you join me for dinner?
[He turns away and shakes his head at the servants as if to say, "This'll never work"]
Belle : You've taken me as your prisoner, and now you want to have dinner with me? Are you insane?
Plumette : [the Beast becomes visibly enraged; the servants back away in fear] Uh-oh! He's losing it!
Cogsworth : Oh, dear!
Beast : [pounds on Belle's door, yelling] I told you to join me for dinner!
Belle : And I told you no!
Madame Garderobe : [awakens startled] Oh, what time is it? What's happening?
Belle : I'd *starve* before I ever ate with you!
Beast : [roaring] Well, be my guest! Go ahead and starve!
[to Lumiere]
Beast : If she doesn't eat with me, then she doesn't eat *at all*!
[storms off]
Beast : Idiots!

Plumette : Enchantée, mademoiselle.
[She begins to dust the East Wing room]
Plumette : Don't worry. I'll have this place spotless in no time.
[She flies over to Lumiere]
Plumette : [to Lumiere] This plan of yours is dangerous.
Lumière : I would risk anything to kiss you again, Plumette.
Plumette : No, my love. I've been burned by you before. We must be strong.
Lumière : How can I be strong when you make me so weak?
-
Cogsworth : Well, Master, I have had my doubts, but everything is moving like clockwork. True love really does win the day!
Beast : I let her go.
Cogsworth : [shocked] You what?
Lumière : Master, how could you do that?
Beast : I had to.
Cogsworth : But why?
Mrs. Potts : Because he loves her.
Lumière : Then why are we not human?
Cogsworth : Because she doesn't love him. And now, it's too late.
Plumette : [hopefully] But she might come back.
Beast : No. I set her free. I'm sorry I couldn't do the same for all of you. Now, go. Our time is almost past.
