Editing Tino's Adventures of Beauty and the Beast/Transcript (section)

=== Scene 8===
(Fade to ext of castle. Belle is playing in the snow with Phillipe and Sultan. Beast, Cogsworth and Lumière watch from the balcony.)

*'''Tino Tonitini:''' That bunny jerky makes a great snowman face.
*'''Tish Katsufrakis:''' Look! Look! I'd stepped in snow! (laughs)
*'''Lor McQuarrie:''' Think fast!
(She throws a snowball at Carver's butt)
*'''Carver Descartes:''' Hey! It's about time.
*'''Lor McQuarrie:''' You know, this really was a pretty good adventure after all. Oh, let's sing a Christmas Carol!
*'''Carver Descartes:''' No, a Kwanzaa song!
*'''Tish Katsufrakis:''' What about Hanukkah?
*'''Tino Tonitini:'''I know a solstice song. Who's got an autoharp?
(Beast, Cogsworth and Lumière watch from the balcony.)
*'''Beast''': I've never felt this way about anyone. (Looks excited) I want to do something for her. (Looks discouraged.) But what?
*'''Cogsworth''': Well, there's the usual things--flowers, chocolates, promises you don't intend to keep...
*'''Lumière''': Ahh, no no. It has to be something very special. Something that sparks her inter--wait a minute.

(Cut to int hallway leading to library. Beast and Belle are alone.)

*'''Beast''': Belle, there's something I want to show you. (Begins to open the door, then stops.) But first, you have to close your eyes.

(She looks at him questioningly.)

* '''Tino Tonitini:''' Uh but sir, how come?
* '''Beast''': It's a surprise.

(Belle closes her eyes, and Beast waves his hand in front of her. Then he opens the door. He leads her in.)

*'''Belle''': (Just as she enters the room) Can I open them?
*'''Beast''': No, no. Not yet. Wait here.

(Beast walks away to draw back the curtains. He does, and brilliant sunlight spills into the room. Belle flinches reflexively as the light hits her face.)

*'''Belle''': Now can I open them?
*'''Beast''': All right. Now.

(Belle opens her eyes and the camera pulls back to reveal the gigantic library filled with books.)

*'''Belle''': I can't believe it. I've never seen so many books in all my life!
*'''Tish Katsufrakis:''' I'm in knowledge heaven!
* '''Beast''': You--you like it?
*'''Belle''': It's wonderful.
*'''Beast''': Then it's yours.
*'''Beast''': Oh, thank you so much.
*'''Carver Descartes:''' That a lot of books. And we're out.

(Cut to Belle and Beast in bkgd, with Objects including Chip in foreground watching them.)

*'''Mrs. Potts''': Oh, would you look at that?
*'''Lumière''': Ha ha! I knew it would work.
*'''Chip''': What? What works?
*'''Cogsworth''': It's very encouraging.
*'''Featherduster''': Isn't this exciting!
*'''Tino Tonitini:''' Tish, come on, we don't want to stick around her all day.
*'''Chip''': I didn't see anything.
*'''Mrs. Potts''': Come along, Chip. There's chores to be done in the kitchen.
*'''Chip''': But what are they talking about? What's going on?

(Objects walk away. Fade to breakfast table with Belle at one end and Beast at the other, with Mrs. Potts between them. Belle is served breakfast, and as she begins to eat, she looks at Beast, gobbling up his food with no table manners whatsoever. Chip laughs, but Mrs. Potts shoots him an admonishing look.)

* '''Tino Tonitini:''' Did you see that?
*'''Carver Descartes:''' I wish I can unsee it.
* '''Lor McQuarrie:''' Dude, this is embarrassing. 
* '''Tish Katsufrakis:''' Perhaps, we could move on to the next lesson.
* '''Tino Tonitini:''' Hey, look.

(Belle turns away and tries to ignore it, but Chip comes to the rescue. He nudges the spoon with his nose, and Beast reaches out for it (very 3-D-ishly). Belle looks at him in wonder as he tries to eat with the spoon, but he has little success. Finally, Belle puts down her spoon and lifts her bowl as if in a toast. Beast looks at the compromise and does the same. They both begin to sip their breakfast out of their bowls. Fade to courtyard where Belle and Beast are feeding the birds.)

:'''[Belle]'''
::''There's something sweet''
::''And almost kind''
::''But he was mean''
::''And he was coarse and unrefined.''

::''But now he's dear''
::''And so unsure,''
::''I wonder why I didn't see it there before.''

(Belle is trying to attract some birds to Beast, who shoves a handful of seed at them. Finally, she takes a handful and gently spreads it out, creating a trail. One lands in his hands, and he looks up thrilled.)

: '''[Beast]'''
::''She glanced this way''
:: ''I thought I saw''
::''And when we touched''
:: ''She didn't shudder at my paw''

::''No it can't be''
::''I'll just ignore''
:: ''But then she's never looked at me that way before.''

(Belle has ducked around a tree, leaving Beast with the birds. She begins to look doubtful again, but turns her head around the tree and laughs. Beast is covered with birds.)

:'''[Belle]'''
::''New, and a bit alarming''
::''Who'd have ever thought that this could be?''
::''True, that he's no Prince Charming''
::''But there's something in him that I simply didn't see.''

(Belle throws a snowball at Beast, who had looked at her proudly after the birds flew away. He begins to gather a large pile of snow. We cut to the Objects, looking out of a window at the two. In the background, Belle throws another snowball at Beast, who drops his huge pile of snow on his head. He chases her around a tree, but she ducks around the other side and sneaks up on him from behind.)

:'''[Lumière]'''
::''Well who'd have thought?''
:'''[Mrs. Potts]'''
::''Well bless my soul.''
:'''[Cogsworth]'''
::''And who'd have known?''
:'''Mrs. Potts]'''
::''Well who indeed?''
:'''[Lumière]'''
::''And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?''
:'''[Mrs. Potts]'''
::''It's so peculiar''
:'''[ALL]'''
::''We'll wait and see''
::''A few days more''
::''There may be something there that wasn't there before''

(Fade to den where Belle sits in front of a roaring fire and reads to Beast. Objects inc. Chip watch from doorway)

:'''[Cogsworth]'''
::''Yes, perhaps there's something there that wasn't there before.''

*'''Chip''': What?

:'''[Mrs. Potts]'''
::''There may be something there that wasn't there before.''

* '''Chip''': What's there, mama?
*'''Mrs. Potts''': I'll tell you when you're older.
