The beast sits in a tub far too small for him.

I saw her in the ballroom, and I said, well, you're making this so beautiful, we should have a dance tonight. I never thought she'd actually say yes! What was I thinking?!

No, Master, it's perfect! The rose has only four petals left. Which means tonight... you must tell her how you feel. Lumière said.

The beast stands, appearing above the curtain, sopping wet.

I feel like a fool. She will never love
me.

Do not be discouraged. Lumière said.

The beast shakes his coat dry like a dog. The spray extinguishes Lumière's candles.

She is the one. Lumière said.

I wish you'd stop saying that!

The beast plops into his a seat in front of the mirror.

There is no one.

You care for her, don't you? Well then, woo her with beautiful music and romantic candlelight... Lumière said

Yes, and when the moment's just right... Plumette said

But how will I know?

You will feel slightly nauseous. Cogsworth said.

Don't worry, master, you'll do fine. Lumière said.

Just stop being a coward and tell Adeline how you feel. And if you don't, I promise you'll be drinking cold tea for the rest of your life. Said Mrs Potts

In the dark.
Covered in dust.
Dark and very very dusty.

Start with the hair! Women love nice hair. Said Lumière

I'll take the fingers and toes! Said Mrs Potts.

Chapeau, brush those teeth! Said Cogsworth

Chapeau wields scissors and a brush as Mrs. Potts pours hot water into Chip. The beast is pushed and pulled, primped and snipped. His fingers are dipped into Chip, his nails buffed by Mrs. Potts' steam, as Lumière climbs onto his horns.

Dip dip, snip snip... Lumière says.

Plumette powders the beast's face

Eyes closed, poof poof!

And the pièce de résistance... Lumière finally said

Chapeau places one of the Prince's old wigs on the beast. Plumette pecks his cheek with a beauty mark. The beast spins in his chair to see himself in the mirror, and he's totally
ridiculous. The staff, dejected, takes in its handiwork.

OK, I can fix this! Said Lumière.

In Adeline's room, Gardenrobe is helping her get ready.

Beautiful. But something is missing.

Garderobe sweeps her arm, and the gold dust magically whooshes down, settling on Adeline's gown, and completing it. Garderobe looks up. There's dust around the gilding that glows in the moonlight. A moment of inspiration.

Ahh, yes. The finishing touch.

Mom the grandstair case, Adeline is breathtaking as she is revealed on the upper
landing.

Mustering his courage, the beast descends from the west wing. She gazes over at the beast, who looks resplendent. She sees him in a new light.

From the bottom of the staircase, Mrs. Potts watches with Chip and soon sings
