Quotes 

• LeFou : [singing]  No one's slick as Gaston, no one's quick as Gaston / No one's neck is incredibly thick as Gaston / For there's no man in town half as manly / Perfect, a pure paragon / You can ask any Tom, Dick or Stanley / And they'll tell you whose team they prefer to be on! / Who plays darts like Gaston? Who breaks hearts like Gaston? / Who's much more than the sum of his parts like Gaston?

  Gaston : [singing]  As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating!

  LeFou : [singing]  My, what a guy, that Gaston!

• Gaston : [horseback riding with LeFou; uses the telescope to see Belle]  Look at her, LeFou. My future wife. Belle is the most beautiful girl in the village. That makes her the best.

  LeFou : But she's so... well-read! And you're so... athletically inclined.

  Gaston : I know. Belle can be as argumentative as she is beautiful.

  LeFou : Exactly! Who needs her when you've got us?

  Gaston : Yes. But ever since the war I've felt like I've been missing something. And she's the only girl that gives me that sense of...

  LeFou : Hmm... je ne sais quoi?

  Gaston : I don't know what that means.

• Gaston : If I didn't know better, I'd say she even cares for him!

  Belle : He's not a monster, Gaston! You are!

• Gaston : [to his reflection]  You are the wildest, most gorgeous thing I've ever seen! Nobody deserves you...

• Gaston : It's the ones who play hard to get that are always the sweetest prey. That's what makes Belle so appealing; she hasn't made a fool of herself just to gain my favor. What would you call that?

  LeFou : Dignity?

  Gaston : It's outrageously attractive, isn't it?

• Gaston : [notices her]  Belle?

  Belle : [breaks his arrows]  Where is he?

  Gaston : [drops his bow and reaches for his gun]  When we return to the village, you will marry me. And the Beast's head will hang on our wall!

  Belle : *Never*!

  [She tries to grab his gun, struggling] 

• Gaston : I am done playing this game of yours. Where is Belle?

  Maurice : The Beast took her and she...

  Gaston : There are no such things as beasts, or talking teacups, or magic! But there are *wolves*, frostbite, and starvation!

  LeFou : [stands up]  Deep breaths, Gaston. Deep breaths.

  [Gaston breathes deeply, then turns to Maurice] 

  Gaston : So, why don't we just turn around, go back to Villeneuve? I'm sure Belle is at home, cooking up a lovely dinner.

  Maurice : If you think I've made all this up, then why did you offer to help?

  Gaston : BECAUSE I WANT TO MARRY YOUR DAUGHTER! Now, let's go home.

  Maurice : Belle is not at home! She is with the...

  Gaston : [grabs Maurice]  You say "beast" one more time, I WILL FEED YOU TO THE WOLVES!

  LeFou : [pulling him away from Maurice]  Gaston! Stop it! Breathe, think happy thoughts, go back to the war, bloods, explosions, countless widows.

  Gaston : Widows...

  LeFou : Yes, yes. That's it...

  [Gaston calms down. LeFou taps his nose] 

  LeFou : That's it.

  [Gaston turns to Maurice, smiling. Maurice recoils] 

  Gaston : Maurice! Please forgive me, old bean. That's no way to talk to my future father-in-law, now is it?

  Maurice : Future father-in-law?

  Gaston : Yeah.

  Maurice : *You* will *never* marry my *daughter*.

  LeFou : [Beat. Then Gaston furiously punches Maurice in the face, knocking him out]  I saw that coming.

• Gaston : Picture it, LeFou. Rustic cabin, my latest kill roasting on the fire. Adorable children running around just as my love rubs my tired feet. And what does Belle say? 'I will never marry you, Gaston.'

  LeFou : [gesturing to the Bimbettes]  You know, there are other girls.

  [the Bimbettes sighs] 

  Gaston : A great hunter doesn't waste his time with rabbits.

• Gaston : Good morning, Belle! Well, wonderful book you have there?

  Belle : Have you read it?

  Gaston : Well, not that one. But, you know books.

  [laughs and shows her flowers] 

  Gaston : For your dinner table. Shall I join you this evening?

  Belle : Sorry, not this evening.

  Gaston : Busy?

  Belle : No.

  [Belle walks away for him] 

• Gaston : It's hero time!

• Gaston : [to D'Arque]  Stand guard, don't let them escape.

  [to the villagers] 

  Gaston : This creature will curse us all, if we don't stop him!

  [the villagers uproar] 

  Gaston : Well, I say we *kill the Beast*!

  [the villagers cheer] 

• [the Beast fights Gaston back, grabs him and holds him over] 

  Gaston : Don't let me go... Please, I'll do anything. Don't hurt me, beast.

  Beast : I am *not* a beast!

  [He lets him go] 

  Beast : Go.

  [Gaston walks away from him] 

  Beast : Get out!

• Gaston : [to Maurice, as he's thrown in a carriage]  Have you seen the inside of a mad house, Maurice? You wouldn't last a week. Just give me your daughter and I'll set you free.

  Maurice : Never.

  [Gaston looks mad, closes the carriage door] 

  Gaston : Take him away!

• Gaston : There are no such things as beasts, or talking teacups... or magic! But there are wolves and frostbite and starvation.

• [Gaston notices the Beast, throws the torch away and takes out his pistol] 

  Gaston : Hello, Beast.

  [the Beast notices him] 

  Gaston : I'm Gaston. Belle sent me... Are you in love with her?

  [the Beast turns away] 

  Gaston : Did you honestly think she'd want you?

  [Gaston shoots the Beast] 

• Gaston : I'm coming for you, Beast!

• LeFou : Gaston, with all due respect...

  Gaston : Do you want to be next?

  [LeFou doesn't answer] 

  Gaston : Fetch my horse.

• Gaston : Maurice. Thank heavens. I've spent the last five days trying to find you.

  Maurice : You tried to kill me! You left me to the wolves!

• Gaston : Belle. I heard you had trouble with the Headmaster. He never liked me either.

• Maurice : No. I'm sure this is the way. Do you hear those wolves? That means we're getting very close to the castle.

  Gaston : Look, enough is enough. We have to turn back.

  Maurice : Stop.

  [Gaston stops the cart] 

  Maurice : That's it. There it is.

  [he snaps his finger] 

  Maurice : That's the tree. I'm sure of it.

  [he gets off the cart] 

  Maurice : It-it was downed by lightning at the time. But now it's... resumed an upright position through some sort of... magic or other.

  LeFou : [to Gaston]  You really want to marry into this family?

  Maurice : So that means that the... the castle is that - No. No, it's -

  [motions falling tree with his arm] 

  Maurice : That way. Definitely that way.

• Jean the Potter : Maurice, do you have any proof of what you're saying?

  Maurice : [to Gaston]  Ask Agathe. She rescued me.

  Gaston : You'd hang your accusations on the testimonial of a filthy hag. No offense, Agathe.

• Mob : [singing]  Light your torch, mount your horse...

  Gaston : [singing]  Screw your courage to the sticking place...

  Mob : [singing]  We're counting on Gaston to lead the way!

  Gaston : [singing]  Call it war, call it threat, you can bet they all will follow, for in times like this, they'll do just as I say!

  LeFou : [singing]  There's a *beast* running wild, there's no question, but I fear the wrong monster's released.

  Mob : [singing]  Sally forth, tally-ho, grab your sword, grab your bow, praise the Lord and here we go!
