Beauty and the Beast2017

[Belle hears Maurice somewhere in the castle, and using Lumière, she goes to the dungeon where Maurice is locked up]

Belle:
Papa, is that you?

Maurice:
Belle, how did you find me?

Belle:
Your hands are ice. We need to get you home.

Maurice:
Belle. Belle, you must leave here at once. This castle is alive. Now go before he finds you!

Belle:
Who?

[They both turn to the same direction where they heard the Beast roaring. She sees the Beast's silhouette in an upper part of the tower]

Belle:
Who's there? Who are you?!

Beast:
[angrily] WHO ARE YOU?

Belle:
I've come for my father.

Beast:
Your father... is a THIEF.

Belle:
Liar!

Beast:
He stole a rose.

Belle:
I asked for the rose. Punish ME, not him.

Maurice:
[to Belle] No, he means forever. Apparently, that's what happens around here when you pick a flower!

Belle:
[to the Beast] A life sentence for a rose?

Beast:
[leaps down to her section of the tower, but remains hidden in the shadows] I received eternal damnation for one. I'm merely locking him away. Now, do you still wish to take your father's place?

Belle:
Come into the light.

[The Beast doesn't move. Belle grabs Lumière and holds him up to his face. Seeing the Beast's intimidating appearance, she gasps in fear]

Beast:
[irked] Choose.

Maurice:
Belle, I won't let you do this. I lost your mother, I won't lose you too! Now go. Go! [coughing]

Belle:
Alright, Papa. I'll leave. [to the Beast] I need a minute alone with him. [The Beast turns away] You're being so cold-hearted you won't allow a daughter to say goodbye to her father? Forever can spare a minute.

[The Beast turns towards her, glaring at her. Then he pulls the switch opening the dungeon door]

Beast:
When this door closes, it will not open again.

[Belle puts Lumière down and runs up to her father and hugs him]

Belle:
I should have been here with you.

Maurice:
Listen, Belle. It's alright. Go. Live your life, and forget about me.

Belle:
Forget you? Everything I am is because of you.

Maurice:
I love you, Belle. Don't be afraid.

Belle:
I love you too, Papa. I'm not afraid. [she and Maurice hug; whispers] And I will escape, I promise.

Maurice:
[confused] What? [Belle pushes Maurice out of the dungeon and closes the door]

Beast:
You took his place.

Belle:
He's my father.

Beast:
Then he is a fool. And so are you!

Maurice:
Belle...

[The Beast drags Maurice out of the castle]

Belle:
Papa! [to the Beast] Be gentle with him!

Maurice:
Belle, I'll come back! I promise!
