Gaston : This is the day your dreams come true.
Belle : What do you know about my dreams, Gaston?
Gaston : Plenty! Here. Picture this. A rustic hunting lodge, my latest kill roasting on the fire, and my little wife massaging my feet, while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs. We'll have six or seven.
Belle : Dogs?
Gaston : No, Belle. Strapping boys like me.
Belle : Imagine that.
Gaston : Do you know who that little wife will be?
Belle : Let me think.
Gaston : You, Belle.
Belle : Gaston, I'm-I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say.
Gaston : Say you'll marry me.
Belle : I'm very sorry, Gaston but-- but I just don't deserve you!

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 : [singing] I use antlers in all of my decorating!
-
Gaston : [singing] Here in town there's only she/who is beautiful as me/So I'm making plans to woo and marry Belle
-
[Gaston and the Beast are battling on the tower]
Gaston : It's over, Beast! Belle is mine!
[the Beast strikes at Gaston, grabs him and holds him over the edge]
Gaston : Let me go! Let me go, please! Don't hurt me! I'll do anything! Anything!
[after a tense moment, the Beast drags Gaston away from the edge]
Beast : Get out!
-
Gaston : I'd like to thank you all for coming to my wedding. First I'd better go in there and propose to the girl.
[chuckles as the men at his "wedding" laugh while the Bimbettes sob]
-
Gaston : Take whatever booty you can find, but remember, the Beast is mine!
-
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 : When I was a lad, I ate four dozen eggs every morning to help me get large/And now that I'm grown, I eat five dozen eggs/So I'm roughly the size of a barge.
-
[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]
-
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.
-
Gaston : She's as crazy as the old man! I say we kill the beast!
-
Gaston : Don't I deserve the Best?
