[Maurice:] Help! Someone help me!

[Tavern keeper:] Maurice?

[Maurice:] Please! Please, I need your help. He's got her - he's

got her locked in the dungeon!

[LeFou:] Who?

[Maurice:] Belle. We must go. N-not a minute to lose!

[Gaston:] Whoa! Slow down, Maurice. Who's got Belle locked in a

dungeon?

[Maurice:] A beast! A horrible, monstrous beast!

[Patron I:] Is it a big beast?

[Maurice:] Huge!

[Patron II:] With a long, ugly snout?

[Maurice:] Hideously ugly!

[Drinker III:] And sharp, cruel fangs?

[Maurice:] Yes! Yes! Will you help me?

[Gaston:] All right, old man. We'll help you out.

[Maurice:] You will? Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you!

[Tavern keeper:] Crazy old Maurice.

[Patron I:] He's always good for a laugh.

[Gaston:] Crazy old Maurice, hmmm?

Crazy old Maurice. Hmmm.



LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking

[Lefou:] A dangerous pastime

[Gaston:] I know

But that whacky old coot is Belle's father

And his sanity's only "so-so"

Now the wheels in my head have been turning

Since I looked at that loony, old man

See, I've promised myself I'd be married to Belle

And right now I'm evolving a plan



If I . . . {whisper}

[LeFou:] Yes?

[Gaston:] Then we . . . {whisper}

[LeFou:] No! Would she . . .

[Gaston:] {whisper} Guess!

[LeFou:] Now I get it!

[Both:] Let's go!



No one plots like Gaston

[Gaston:] Takes cheap shots like Gaston

[LeFou:] Plans to persecute harmless crackpots like Gaston

[Chorus:] So his marriage we soon'll be celebrating

My what a guy!

Gaston
