Catherine quotes from Beauty and the Beast

Vincent

Why does it sometimes seem that the world conspires to keep lovers apart?

Catherine

Or brings them together when it is impossible?

Vincent

You looked so beautiful...for a moment... I let myself dream.

Catherine

So did I.

Vincent

They have a lifetime together. Our time is always measured-minutes-seconds

Catherine

Then we must learn to measure our lifetime in another way.

Vincent

Yes.

Vincent

Catherine, since that night when I found you in the park, I've felt in you, time and again, a need to confront your fear...As you did last night.

Catherine

Why are you telling me this?

Vincent

I don't want what happened to you to cause you to take unnecessary risks.

Catherine

Vincent, they needed my help.

Vincent

You survived once.

Catherine

It's because I survived then that I'm doing this now...so that others are spared.

Catherine

What is it, Vincent? What are you thinking?

Vincent

How ashamed I am, that you saw me as I was. How grateful I am that you were there. You saved my life, Catherine.

Vincent

Catherine, I understand why you expose yourself to danger.

Catherine

Because there are some risks worth taking.

Vincent

And there are some things worth risking everything for.

Catherine

I really thought we had this case wrapped up.

Joe

Hey Kiddo, we didn't knock their sock off, but I definitely think we got both shoes untied.

Catherine

It was a year ago, tonight.

Vincent

How remarkable you are...remembering such a dark moment...with dancing lights.

Catherine

It's time for a celebration. I found hope again that night...I found you.

Vincent

I have something for you. I wanted to give you something from my world, something for you to carry with you...A keepsake. (The crystal)

Catherine

Vincent, it's beautiful!

Vincent

It comes from our deepest chamber. It reminds me of a piece of eternity.

Catherine

I'll cherish it...I wanted you to have a part of me to hold close. When I was little, I was terrified of the dark, and I used to have an awful time falling asleep. My mother gave me this rose, and she told me that, whenever I got frightened, to hold the rose, and think of her, and to know that wherever she was, she was thinking of me. It helped me to go to sleep...Until you came into my life, Vincent, I'd forgotten how it felt to know that there is someone thinking of me...Someone who knows who I am...Someone that I'm connected to.

Vincent

Every moment since that night, I'm reminded of what a gift life is.

Where did you get that? [looks at Catherine's scar]

Catherine

Um...Long story.

Do you know I actually think scars are beautiful? They are rather like a road map to a person's past. Proof that the worst wounds heal...I have scars too, you just can't see them.

Catherine

I don't really know what I am feeling.

Vincent

Did you love this man once?

Catherine

Once. And I still feel an obligation for him. I don't know why. Maybe because of his illness...maybe because of the intimacy we once had.

Catherine

There was such fear on your face...I've never seen that before.

Vincent

Are you afraid, Catherine?

Catherine

Of what?

Vincent

This man coming back into your life?

Catherine

Is that what you are sensing?

Vincent

Perhaps.

Catherine

I don't think afraid is the right word...Curious, maybe...about the road not taken. What my life would have held...and guilty, because I knew I hurt him.

Catherine

I don't understand.

Vincent

I am not certain myself. I have nothing more than a feeling. An image that evaporates whenever I try to touch it.

Catherine

Are you sure this even has anything to do with me?

Vincent

You provoke the image. The thought of you...even your name, brings it to my eyes.

Catherine

What do you expect me to do? I've told you just what I'm thinking. You already feel everything I feel! And now you say I'm in danger, only you can't tell me from whom, or why?

Vincent

Because I don't know myself.

Catherine

Is this fair of you? You know I value your words above all others!

Vincent

Catherine, I fear for you.

Catherine

And I am supposed to take that fear up into the world and live with it? Tonight when I see Stephen?

Vincent

Don't go.

Catherine

He is my friend, Vincent, and I care about him. He's dying, and at the very least I owe him my trust.

Vincent

Catherine...

Catherine

He's dying, Vincent. And I'm all he has!

Vincent

Have you seen him?

Catherine

They wouldn't let me...Don't be ashamed, Vincent. You only did what you had to do.

Vincent

I know that.

Catherine

I was the one who was unfair. i just thought that you were feeling betrayed. I forgot for a moment how much you trust me. I should have trusted you...How did you know?

Vincent

I knew because...somehow, somewhere deep inside, you-you must have known.
