Monsieur D'Arque : I don't usually leave the asylum in the middle of the night, but he said you'd make it worth my while.
[Gaston presents him with a bag of money]
Monsieur D'Arque : Ah, I'm listening.
Gaston : It's like this: I've got my heart set on marrying Belle, but she needs a little--persuasion.
Lefou : [chuckles] Turned him down flat.
[Gaston hits him]
Gaston : Everyone knows her father's a lunatic. He was in here tonight, raving about a beast in a *castle*.
Monsieur D'Arque : Maurice is harmless.
Gaston : The point is, Belle would do *anything* to keep him from being locked up.
Lefou : Yeah, even marry *him*.
[points at Gaston; ducks, covering his head with his flask when Gaston tries to hit him again]
Monsieur D'Arque : So you want me to throw her father into the asylum unless she agrees to marry you?
[Lefou nods eagerly]
Monsieur D'Arque : Oh, that is despicable.
[Chuckling evilly]
Monsieur D'Arque : I love it!

Gaston : [Gaston jumps in front of Belle] Hello, Belle.
Belle : Bonjour, Gaston.
[Gaston takes her book and rudely reads through it]
Belle : Gaston, may I have my book, please?
Gaston : How can you read this? There's no pictures!
Belle : Well, some people use their imagination.
Gaston : [Tosses the book in the puddle and Belle picks it back up] Belle, it's about time you got your head out of those books and paid attention to more important things. Like me.
[Gaston smiles at Belle and the Bimbettes sigh at Gaston]
Gaston : The whole town's talking about it. It's not right for a woman to read. Soon she starts getting ideas and thinking.
Belle : Gaston, you are positively primeval.
Gaston : Why, thank you, Belle. What do you say you and me take a walk over to the tavern and take a look at my trophies?
Belle : Maybe some other time.
Bimbette : What's wrong with her? She's crazy! He's gorgeous!
Belle : Please, Gaston, I can't. I have to get home to help my father. Goodbye.
Lefou : That crazy old loon! He needs all the help he can get.
[Gaston and Lefou both laugh at Belle]
Belle : Don't talk about my father that way!
Gaston : Yeah, don't talk about her father that way!
[Pounds Lefou's head]
Belle : My father's not crazy. He's a genius!
[Belle's house blows and she runs home while Gaston and Lefou continue to laugh and he accidently slaps Lefou]
-
Gaston : I'd like to thank you all for coming to my wedding. But first, I'd better go in there and--propose to the girl!
[chuckles as the men at his "wedding" laugh while the three Bimbettes pretend to sob]
Gaston : And *you*, Lefou! Now when Belle and I come out that door...
Lefou : Oh, I know, I know, I strike up the band!
[he starts conducting the wedding band and they play, but Gaston quickly shoves a tuba on Lefou's head]
Gaston : Not yet!
Lefou : [with a lisp] Sssorry!
-
[Gaston is face down in a mud wallow after Belle turns down his marriage proposal and Lefou conducts the wedding music very quickly and it ends. Lefou sees the pig on Gastons head]
Lefou : [sarcastically] So, how did it go?
Gaston : [grabs Lefou] I'll have Belle for my wife! Make no mistake about that!
[throws Lefou in the mud]
Lefou : [to the pig] Touchy!
[the pig snorts in agreement]
-
Lefou : [singing] Gaston is the best/and the rest is all drips!
[accidentally splashes a mug of beer on Gaston standing right behind him; Gaston punches him back]
-
Tavern Man : No one hits like Gaston/Matches wits like Gaston.
Lefou : In a spitting mach, nobody spits like Gaston.
Gaston : I'm especially good at expectorating.
Tavern Man : Ten points for Gaston!
-
Lefou : Gosh, it disturbs me to see you, Gaston, looking so down in the dumps/Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston/Even when taking your lumps/There's no man in town that's as admired as you/You're everyone's favorite guy/Everyone's awed and inspired by you/And it's not very hard to see why.
[a group of girls fawn over Gaston]
Lefou : No one's slick as Gaston/No one's quick as Gaston/No one's neck is as 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/No one's big like Gaston/A kingpin like Gaston/No one's got a swell cleft in his chin like Gaston.
Gaston : As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating.
Lefou : My, what a guy, that Gaston.
