(Beau returns in his old clothes to his father's cottage. He knocks on the door and Maurice opens the door.)
Maurice: Beau?
Beau: Papa!
Maurice: Oh Beau! *coughs* But how did you escape?
Beau: *giggles* I didn't have to. He set me free.
Maurice: But *coughs* how? I *coughs* don't understand.
Beau: I didn't too at the begining. But then it made my eyes open. Nothing has to be black and white. My heart didn't change, but something changed in me. Yes, all my childhood dreams are gone but I don't mind. Not anymore. He made me realise that true beauty can be found in the inside.
Maurice: Who taught you that?
Beau: The Beast. But his name is Adam and he...
(Beau is cut out by Monsieur Noires.)
Monsier Noires: Maurice, the inventor.
Maurice: Yes...that's me.
Monsieur Noires: Good. Boys, take him.
Beau: What?! No!
(Gaston, LeFou and all the other townfolks.)
Gaston: Oh c'mon, Beau! Your father is completely out of his mind.
LeFou: Tell us, Maurice, how big was he.
Maurice: Like 10 feet tall and...
LeFou: Completely out of his mind. And he even said he had a huge mouth and horns on his head.
Beau: My father is not crazy! I can prove it!
(He reveals the mirror.)
Beau: Show me the Beast.
(Everybody is scared and some even scream.)
Maurice: That's him.
Madame 1: Is he dangerous?
Beau: Oh no, he'd never hurt anyone. I know he looks frightful but he is really really gentle and kind. He's my friend.
Gaston: If I didn't know better, I'd say you have feelings for this monster.
Beau: He's not the monster, Gaston. You are!
Gaston: He's as crazy as the old man. He says this creature is his friend, well I've hunted wild beasts and I saw what they can do. The Beast will make off with your children, he'll come after them in the night.
Beau: No, he would never...
Gaston: Forget the old man. I say, we kill the beast.
Beau: No!
Monsieur 3: He's too dangerous!
Gaston: Who comes along with me to kill him?
(Everybody let out a battle scream.)
Beau: I won't let you do this.
Gaston: Try and stop us.
Beau: Oh papa, this is all my fault. I have to go back and warn him.
Maurice: I'm coming with you.
Beau: No.
Maurice: I've lost you once, I don't want to lose you again.
Beau: Than we better hurry.
(They leave and make their way to the castle. In the meanwhile the mob is also on their way to the castle.)
Gaston: Take a tree and make it a big one. Kill whatever boo that you can find. But remember the beast is mine!
(They all keep screaming Kill The Beast!)
