Belle:
Papa?
[as she enters the cellar door full of smoke and Maurice is stuck in the barrel breaking out]
Maurice:
How on earth did that stupid, dog--gone it!
[Pulls out the barrel rim but his underwear shows and quickly pulls his pants back up]
Belle:
Are you alright, Papa?
Maurice:
I'm, I'm about ready to give up on this hunk of junk.
[Kicks the machine]
Belle:
You always say that!
Belle:
I mean it this time: I'll never get this boneheaded contraption to work!
Maurice:
Yes you will, and you'll win first prize at the fair tomorrow.
[Maurice frowns]
Belle:
And become a world famous inventor.
Maurice:
[gently]
You really believe that?
Belle:
I always have.
Maurice:
[relents as he returns to his work on the machine]
Well, what are we waiting for? I'll have this thing fixed in no time! Hand me that dog legged clincher there.
Maurice:
So, did you have a good time in town today?
Belle:
I got a new book. Papa, do you think I'm odd?
Maurice:
[Maurice comes out from under his machine]
My daughter? Odd? Huh! Where would you get an idea like that?
Belle:
Oh, I don't know. It's just that I'm not sure I'd fit in here. There's no one I can really talk to.
Maurice:
What about that Gaston? He's a handsome fellow.
Belle:
He's handsome alright, and rude, and conceited and... Papa, he's not for me.
Maurice:
Well, don't you worry, 'cause this new invention's gonna be the start of a new life for us. I think that's done it. Now, let's give it a try.
[Maurice pulls the machine's lever and the axe automatically chops a log and throws it to the other side of the room]
Maurice:
It works!
Belle:
It does?
[another log flies to the other side of the room]
Belle:
It does!
Belle:
You did it! You really did it!
Maurice:
Hitch up Philippe, girl! I'm off to the fair!
[Then a log hits Maurice and knocks him dizzy. The next scene shows Belle waving goodbye while Maurice rides his cart with Phillippe]
Belle:
Goodbye Papa! Good luck!
Maurice:
Goodbye Belle! An, and take care while I'm gone!
