Catherine quotes from Beauty and the Beast

Catherine

[talking to Father] He is my Life! Without him, there is nothing!

Catherine

I owe you everything.

Vincent

You owe me nothing. I am a part of you, Catherine, just as you are a part of me. Wherever you go, wherever I am, I'm with you.

Vincent

I've seen your world. There is no place for me in it. I know what I am. Your world is filled with frightened people, and I remind them of what they are most afraid of.

Catherine

Their own ignorance.

Vincent

Their aloneness.

Catherine

Yes.

Vincent

Catherine, I feel the things you are feeling when you do.

Catherine

How do you mean?

Vincent

Just know that it's true and that your pain is my pain. Sometimes it is almost as if we're one.

Vincent

Catherine, you survived. And what you endured will make you stronger and better.

Catherine

I don't have your strength. I don't know how to do it.

Vincent

You have the strength, Catherine, you do. I know you.

Catherine

When I think of corporate law, stimulating is not a word that immediately pops into my mind.

You know, when you put your mind to it, you're a fine corporate lawyer.

Catherine

No, Dad, I'm the daughter of a fine corporate lawyer.

Catherine

So sue me.

It's a little late for that, I should have sued you when you were five.

Catherine

How can one man have so much courage and empathy and passion, and so little mercy?

Vincent

Perhaps he lost it somewhere, but he found it again in the end.

Vincent

They hunt for this man as they might hunt for me, if they dreamed of my existence.... By what right do I condemn him? Am I so very different?

Catherine

Yes, Vincent, you are.

Vincent

There is enough fear in your world. I could never bring you more.

Catherine

Forgive me for doubting you.

Vincent

Catherine, you have a right to be afraid.

Catherine

My heart knows how gentle you are.

Vincent

Even the gentlest man has a demon locked inside of him.

Catherine

Not you; not a demon.

Catherine

I had to come. I had to see you. I was afraid—

Vincent

I know.

Catherine

You didn't come. I called. I banged on the pipes. You never came.

Vincent

I could feel your fear, Catherine. Even now, I frighten you.

Catherine

You taught me to face my fears, always, Vincent. Tell me—

Vincent

What shall I tell you? That I am not this shadow, this man-monster that you hunt? Must you hear the words before you trust? Hear them then, it is not me. Catherine, I would never hurt you. [Catherine takes an involuntary step backwards]

Catherine

No, Vincent, no.... I did not mean to—

Vincent

To pull away? I know. I know your heart, Catherine, but sometimes the words that are not spoken are the truest words of all. [barely audible]... they hurt.

Catherine

What are you saying?

Vincent

We both know what these hands can do, have done. Catherine, if your heart does not trust, then no words I could speak could help.

Elliot

I do love this city. The thing is, you can't walk a block without seeing somebody - something that absolutely knocks you out, stuns you.

Catherine

The good, the bad and the utterly absurd.

Elliot

Yeah. Yeah, and it's constantly changing, constantly transforming itself, reinventing itself. It's unbelievable- it's always expanding.

Vincent

You have a generous heart, Catherine.

Catherine

Something I learned from you.

Vincent

No. It can't be taught. It's from the soul. And you have so much to give.

Catherine

It's all still very new... Sometimes, I wonder, how all those little pieces will ever fit together again.

Vincent

Follow your heart, Catherine. Follow your heart. You must.

Elliot

I'm Elliot Birch.

Catherine

Of course, you are.

Vincent

I knew you were close by...

Catherine

I was never giving up.
