Something There
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
Mme. De la grande bouche
Come along dearie.
Let's get you off those wet things.
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
Beast
Belle, I have something to show you.
But first, you have to close your eyes.
It's a surprise!
Belle
May I open them?
Beast
Alright, alright. Now!
Belle
I can't believe it!
I've never seen so many books in my whole life!
Beast
You like it?
Belle
It's wonderful!
Beast
It's yours!
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
(spoken)
Oh, this is one of my favorites!
It's "King Arthur."
Have you ever read it?
Beast
No.
Belle
You don't know what you're missing.
I'd love to read this again.
Wait... You can read this first.
Beast
No, that's alright
Belle
No, really, you read it
Beast
Oh, no, you...
Belle
No, you
Beast
No! I can't...
Belle
You never learned to read?
Beast
Only a little, and long ago
Belle
Well, it just so happens that this is the perfect book to read aloud. Come here, sit by me
Lumiere
Well, who'd have thought?
Mrs. Potts
Well, bless my soul
Cogsworth
Well, who'd have known?
Mrs. Potts
Well, who indeed?
Lumiere
And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?
Mrs. Potts
It's so peculiar. Wait and see
Lumiere and cogsworth
We'll wait and see
All three
A few days more
There may be something there that wasn't there before
Cogsworth
Perhaps there's something there
That wasn't there before
Chip
What?
