BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
SCRIPT SAMPLE

The story is just as you remember it... Papa has just arrived at the Beast's castle.  Here is lively exchange among the servants.
(Script pages 18-19)

TINK:   What do we do now, Mama?

MRS. TEA-TIME:  It's been so long I hardly know.  I think we start with tea.

(She carries a teapot and pours into a cup.  She gives cup to TINK, who gives it to PAPA.  PAPA gulps it down.)

Oh, my.  

PAPA:  (Out of breath.)  Merci.  I've traveled so far... I've I lost my way...

(WINDUP and SPARKLE enter.)

WINDUP & SPARKLE:  What is the meaning of this?

SPARKLE:  What is all this hub-bub?

WINDUP:  Now see here, Mrs. Tea-time.  We haven't time for nonsense...

SPARKLE:  If someone would endeavor to illoo-minate me...

(They stop, see PAPA, gasp!)

WINDUP & SPARKLE:  A guest!

MRS. TEA-TIME:  Why yes, that's what they're called.  I remember now.  Guests!

TINK:  (Amazed.)  A guest!

SPARKLE:  And you know what guests need don't you, Mr. Windup?

WINDUP:  I certainly do, Mr. Sparkle.  They need to tidy up!

(WINDUP and SPARKLE take a big cloths from their pockets and use them to dust PAPA off, violently, big swinging strokes that knock PAPA around.    WINDUP & SPARKLE twirl PAPA as they "tidy".)

SPARKLE:  They need scrubbing and rubbing...

WINDUP:  They need bathing and shaving...

SPARKLE:  Don't forget those feet!

WINDUP:  Don't forget those teeth!

MRS. TEA-TIME:  How about something to eat?

WINDUP:  Yes!  Must have something to eat!

SPARKLE:  Good! 

WINDUP:  Excellent!

SPARKLE:  Splendid!
