I Will Be There For You: “Beautiful Soul”

Yayness! I honestly didn’t think I’d come back here, but thanks to the awesome reviews, it inspired me to keep these things going. And let’s face it, I need the writing practice anyway haha. So this one is for you, my readers, for keeping me going. You rock! Hunchback characters and situations do not belong to me, they belong to Disney. Same with Beauty and the Beast. Hope you all like this one.

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Esmeralda: Hey! Are you all right?

Quasimodo: I didn't mean to...I'm sorry.

Esmeralda: You're not hurt, are you? Here, here, let's see.

Quasimodo: No, no, no!

Esmeralda: There. See, no harm done. Just try to be a little more careful.

Quasimodo: I--I--I will.

Esmeralda: By the way, great mask!

I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me

BELLE: You didn't even let me say good bye. I'll
never see him again. I didn't get to say good-bye.

BEAST: (feeling bad)
I'll show you to your room.

BELLE: (surprised)
My room?
(Indicating the cell)
But I thought--

BEAST: You wanna, you wanna stay in the tower?

BELLE: No.

BEAST: Then follow me.

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Esmeralda: Don't be afraid. I'm sorry. This wasn't supposed to

happen.

Frollo: You! Gypsy girl! Get down at once!

Esmeralda: Yes, your honour. Just as soon as I free this poor

creature.

Frollo: I forbid it!

(She whips out a knife and cuts the ropes holding Quasi.)

Frollo: How dare you defy me!

Esmeralda: You mistreat this poor boy the same way you mistreat my

people. You speak of justice, yet you are cruel to those most in need of your help.

Frollo: Silence!

Esmeralda: Justice!

You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

LEFOU: So, how'd it go?

GASTON: (Picks up LEFOU by the neck)
I'll have Belle for my wife, make no mistake about that!
(GASTON drops LEFOU into the mud.)

LEFOU: (To PIERRE)
Touchy!

Your beautiful soul, yeah
You might need time to think it over
But im just fine moving forward

Esmeralda: I don't see any.

Quasimodo: Any what?

Esmeralda: Monster lines. Not a single one. Now you look at me.

Do you think I'm evil?

Quasimodo: No, no, no! You are kind, and good, and--

Esmeralda: --and a gypsy. And maybe Frollo's wrong about the both

of us.

I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry come on lets try

BEAST: (setting down MAGIC MIRROR, speaking tenderly)
I'm just fooling myself. She'll never see me as anything...but a monster.
(Another petal falls off the rose.)
It's hopeless.

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Phoebus: Oh. And one more thing. Tell Esmeralda she's very

lucky.

Quasimodo: Why?

Phoebus: To have a friend like you.

You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

BEAST: That hurts!

BELLE: (In counterpoint)
If you'd hold still, it wouldn't hurt as much.

BEAST: Well if you hadn't run away, this wouldn't have happened!

BELLE: Well if you hadn't frightened me, I wouldn't have run away!

Am I crazy for wanting you
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't wanna waste your time

Esmeralda: You took a terrible risk coming here. It may not exactly

show, but we're grateful.

Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know if you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide

BEAST: I've never felt this way about anyone.
(Looks excited)
I want to do something for her.
(Looks discouraged.)
But what?

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

Quasimodo: We've done it, Esmeralda! We've beaten them back!

Come and see!

She doesn't move.)

Quasimodo: Esmeralda? Wake up! You're safe now.

(He pauses, but still nothing.)

Quasimodo: Esmeralda? Oh, no!

You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You beautiful soul, ooohhhh yeah

BEAST: At least I got to see you one... last...time.

BELLE: (Crying)
No, no! Please! Please! Please don't leave me! I love you
