Beast: All I possess, I possess by the power of magic. But my true riches are in that pavilion, and one can only enter with a golden key. Here it is, Belle. I give you the greatest possible proof of trust that one can give in this world.
If you do not return, I will die. After my death, you will be safely out of danger, and my riches will be yours. Take the key. I know your soul. This key, delivered into your hands, will be the pledge of your return.

Beast: I have a good heart, but I am a monster.
Belle: There are men far more monstrous than you, though they conceal it well.
Beast: Besides being hideous, I’m not quick-witted. You’re quick enough to recognize it. Everything in this castle is yours. Make your slightest whim known. I shall appear every evening at 7:00. Then, before taking my leave, i will ask you one question. Always the same question.
Belle: What is that question?
Beast: Will you be my wife?
Belle: No, Beast!
Beast: Good-bye then, Belle. Until tomorrow.
