Vincent quotes from Beauty and the Beast

Vincent

You must not see me like this.

Catherine

Please don't send me away!

Vincent

My thoughts are poisoned.

Catherine

Tell me these thoughts.

Vincent

What you shared...I envied.

Catherine

Vincent.

Vincent

I betrayed Michael. I betrayed you. Everything I hold dear.

Catherine

How did you betray me?

Vincent

Catherine, I come on an urgent mission. The children insist that you come Below tonight to Father's chamber.

Catherine

Really? What is the occasion?

Vincent

Something of a miracle.

Catherine

Tell me.

Vincent

This year, there were several children in the music classes who we felt were not ready to perform at the Winterfest. Some were simply too inexperienced, but others failed to show a true commitment to the music. I think that in order to prove to all of us that we were in grave error, these children have joined together to form their own Concert Society.

Catherine

Sounds wonderful.

Catherine

[at the recital] They are really good.

Vincent

We offered to help but they refused. They were so determined.

Catherine

Just look at their faces. They know they have done it.

Vincent

Yes, they have succeeded in humbling their elders.

Catherine

Besides the music, what can be sweeter?

Vincent

You know children

Catherine

I used to be one once.

Vincent

Yes, but you remember.

Catherine

More and more.

Charles

You're different.

Vincent

Like you.

Charles

No. No, your face is good. Not like me, Vincent.

Vincent

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..."

Devin

That pretty well describes it, doesn't it?

Vincent

Our childhood?

Devin

My life...This used to be my favorite book.

Vincent

On Tuesdays, anyway.

Devin

"Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds."

Devin

This place brings back a lot of memories.

Vincent

It should...you lived here half your life.

Devin

Things are different. You moved things around.

Vincent

You left...Things change, Devin. Years pass.

Devin

People change, too.

Vincent

Some people...sometimes.

Vincent

When I walk the city streets, I wear a cloak with a hood to shadow my face.

Charles

But your face is-

Vincent

A mirror, like yours. Where frightened men see the shape of their own fears, and small men see only ugliness.

Charles

Do you forget to hide?

Vincent

I do not hide my face here. This is my home.

Charles

My home?

Vincent

If you want it to be.

Vincent

When I was young, I only knew these tunnels. I would hear the other children talk about the world Above and all its wonders. I wanted to see them too. So one night, Devin took me up to the park. The lights went on forever and the night was full of sounds and smells and music, so much so that it made me dizzy. When I looked up ...

Charles

Was it an airplane?

Vincent

No. It was the moon. It was the most magical thing I had ever seen. I was afraid that if I looked away for a second that it would vanish and I would never see it again.

Catherine

Where will they go?

Vincent

To the mountains to begin. A place far away from people Devin says. Where Charles can feel the sunlight on his face and learn not to be afraid...a place to heal, to grow, to feel human. Somewhere ...

Catherine

... south of Oz and north of Shangri-La.

Catherine

Ten other desks in that office - Why did it have to land on mine?

Vincent

So you could help him.

Catherine

I don't know what I am supposed to be here, Vincent. Am I a friend or a prosecutor? How can I be both?

Vincent

You follow the truth.

Catherine

The truth is? Most of the time I think the people we prosecute deserve to be punished, but I know Kanin. He's a good man and I know what he means to all of us. Where is the justice in that?

Vincent

Perhaps, in making it possible for two people to release their burden.

Kanin

I wish I could fix it, but I don't know how.

Vincent

With courage.

Kanin

I don't have that kind of courage.

Vincent

You do.

Kanin

No?
