Первая сцена
Well, I heard you had trouble with the headmaster. He never liked me either. Can I give you a little advice about the villagers, though? They’re never going to trust the kind of change you’re trying to bring. All I wanted was to teach a child to read. The only children you should concern yourself with are your own. I’m not ready to have children. Maybe you haven’t met the right man. It’s a small village, Gaston. I’ve met them all. Well, maybe you should take another look. Some of us have changed. Gaston, we could never make each other happy. No one can change that much. Oh, Belle. Do you know what happens to spinsters in this village after their fathers die? They beg for scraps like poor Agatha. This is our world, Belle. For simple folk like us, it doesn’t get any better.
I might be a farm girl, but I’m not simple, and I’m never going to marry you, Gaston. I’m sorry. Can you imagine? Me, the wife of that boorish brainless. Madame Gaston, can’t you just see it? Madame Gaston, his little wife. No, sir, not me. I guarantee it. I want much more than this provincial life. I want adventure in the great wide somewhere I want it more than I can tell And for once it might be grand To have someone understand I want so much more than they’ve got planned
Вторая сцена
Take me to him! Papa? Papa, is that you? Belle, how did you find me? Your hands are ice. We need to get you home. Belle, you must leave here at once. This castle is alive. Now go before she finds you. Who? Who’s there? Who are you? Who are you? I’ve come for my father. Your father is a thief. Liar! He stole a rose. I asked for the rose. Punish me, not him. No. He means forever. A life sentence for a rose. I received eternal damnation for one. I’m merely locking him away. Now, do you still wish to take your father’s place? Come into the light. Ah! Choose. Now, I won’t let you do this. I lost your mother. I won’t lose you, too. Now go. Go! All right, Papa, I’ll leave. I need a minute alone with him. When this door closes, it will not open. I should have been with you. No. Now listen to me. It’s all right. Now go. Live your life. And forget me. Forget you? Everything I am is because of you. I love you, Belle. Don’t be afraid. I love you too, Papa. I’m not afraid. And I will escape, I promise. What? You took his place. He’s my father. He’s a fool. And so are you.
