Monsieur D'Arque
- 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!
