[GASTON]
Ha! You're even uglier in the flesh!

(The Beast looks at him, then turns away. Gaston strides across the room and kicks him.)

[GASTON]
Get up!

(The Beast groans but doesn't fight back.)

[GASTON]
What’s the matter Beast? Too kind and gentle to fight back?

(Gaston punches the Beast.)

[GASTON]
You were in love with her, weren't you, Beast?

(He laughs cruelly)

Oh, that's a good one! Did you really think a girl like that would want a thing like you? What a fool!

(Gaston continues to beat and kick the Beast.)

[GASTON]
She hates you, Beast! And she sent me here to kill the monster!
[BEAST]
No. she wouldn't!

[GASTON]
It's over, Beast. Belle is mine!

(Gaston tries to stab the Beast. Beast evades as Belle enters the West Wing)

[BELLE]
NO!

(Gaston and The Beast fight. Finally, the Beast grabs Gaston – ready to kill him.)

[GASTON]
Don't hurt me. I’m begging you!

(The Beast roars, prepared to kill him. But he struggles with himself. He can't do it...he's too human now. He releases Gaston.)

[BEAST]
Get out. 
(Gaston gasps for air. Belle enters the west wing)
Belle

(Gaston sags…gasping for breath. The Beast moves towards Belle.)

[BELLE]
I'm sorry…
[BEAST]
You came back...

[BELLE]
Take my hand!

(But just as their hands meet, Gaston plunges a knife into the Beast's back. Gaston stabs him again. Gaston stumbles and falls to his death, and the wolves appear to Gaston. The wolves then pounce on Gaston. We hear his long, anguished wail as the wolves are tearing Gaston to shreds. The Beast staggers toward Belle and collapses on the West Wing. Belle is holding the Beast in her arms.)
