(holds out a funny-looking tool) Papa...
MAURICE
Oh... thank you, dear!(takes the tool and starts tinkering)
So... did you have a good time in town today?
BELLE
I got a new book.MAURICE
You do love those books.(MAURICE ducks behind the invention.)
BELLE
Papa... do you think I'm... odd?MAURICE
My daughter! Odd?(re-appears with silly-looking goggles)
Now where would you get an idea like that?
BELLE
I don't know. It's just... I'm not sure I fit in here. There's no one I can really talk to.MAURICE
What about Gaston? He's a handsome fellow.BELLE
He's handsome all right... and rude and conceited and oh Papa, he's not for me!MAURICE
Well, don't you worry, 'cause this invention's going to be the start of a new life for us.(MAURICE pulls a lever. The invention chugs to life.)
BELLE
It works!MAURICE
It does? It does!BELLE
Papa, you did it! You really did it!(puts a scarf around MAURICE's neck)
Here, I made you a scarf for good luck at the fair.
MAURICE
Now I know I'll win. And then, we'll get out of this town and travel to all those places you've read about in your books!BELLE
Goodbye, Papa.MAURICE
Bye bye, Belle.
