Audition Central: Disney's Beauty And The Beast JR.

Script: Gaston

SIDE 1

(Feeling the VILLAGERS' eyes on her, BELLE whirls around. They go back to their activities then exit. BELLE heads for home. GASTON runs in front of her and strikes a pose.)

 

 

GASTON

Hello... Belle.

 

 

 

 

BELLE

Bonjour, Gaston.

(GASTON blocks BELLE's way.)

Excuse me.

(GASTON snatches Belle's book.)

Gaston. May I have my book, please?

 

 

 

 

GASTON

(flipping through the book)
How can you read this? There's no pictures.

 

 

 

 

BELLE

Well some people use their imagination!

 

 

 

 

GASTON

Belle, it's about time you got your head out of these books and paid attention to more important things.

(GASTON strikes a handsome pose.)

 

 

 

 

LEFOU

Hint... hint.

 

 

 

 

BELLE

Like you? Gaston, please! I have to get inside to help my father.

 

 

 

 

LEFOU

That crazy old fool. He needs all the help he can get!

(GASTON and LEFOU laugh heartily.)

 

 

 

 

BELLE

Don't talk about my father that way!

 

 

 

 

GASTON

(GASTON thunks LEFOU on the head.)
Yeah! Don't talk about her father that way!

SIDE 2

LA FILLE 1

It can't be true! I don't believe it.

LA FILLE 2

Why would you go and do a thing like that?

LA FILLE 3

I simply can't bear it!

LA FILLE 1

Oh Gaston, say it isn't so.

GASTON

It's so.

LES FILLES

Waaaaaaaahhhh!

GASTON

Girls... I'm just getting married. Don't tell me a little thing like that's going to change

your feelings for me?

LA FILLE 1

Oh no!

LA FILLE 2

No!

LA FILLE 3

Never!

GASTON

Good. Well... if we're going to have a wedding, I guess I'd better propose to the bride!

LA FILLE

Waaaaaaaahhhh!

(The LES FILLES DE LA VILLE go off sobbing.)
