Catherine quotes from Beauty and the Beast

Catherine

[rummaging in a box] Just a few odds and ends from around the house.

Vincent

[chuckles, pulling item from box] You should...learn to remove the price tag from your "odds and ends".

Catherine

[holding up sweater to Father] My father bought this when he took up skiing, and put it in the drawer after one trip down the slopes. What do you think?

Cullen

It's him...Father that is definitely you.

The sweater? Yes, well, it's just what I need for when I...go skiing.

Vincent

Catherine, your gifts brought much joy today.

Catherine

I wish I could do more. There's so many things I wish I could give you.

Vincent

But you give of yourself-your generosity, friendship-to all of us. There is no more than that.

Catherine

You know what I mean.

Vincent

Well, with what our friends bring to us and what the world Above casts aside, we have everything we need.

Catherine

I wonder what they must think?

Vincent

That it was a miracle...

Vincent

What concerns you so?

Catherine

He claims to be a gypsy...He's lied to me. He stole from me...and yet I can't help caring about him. I am feeling that somehow...he wants my help.

Vincent

How beautifully you read.

Catherine

I remember the first time you read to me. How safe I felt-the comfort I found in your voice. I wanted to share that.

Tony

Being alone makes you tough.

Catherine

Well, sometimes 'tough' doesn't make loneliness go away.

Tony

Wait! I owe you...and a Gypsy never forgets. Thank Vincent for me.

Catherine

I will...Maybe I will see you around.

Tony

Count on it!

Catherine

I think he stole a piece of my heart.

Vincent

You helped him find his way home again, Catherine. No one could ever give a child a better gift.

Catherine

It came from both of us.

Paracelsus

Vincent is close.

Catherine

I know.

Paracelsus

You're really not afraid to die, are you?

Catherine

No.

Paracelsus

Not even as you watch the stage being built...Don't you feel anything?

Catherine

Sadness.

Paracelsus

About dying?

Catherine

About you. About the world you helped create. Vincent has told me. Your vision. Your ideals. All wasted.

Paracelsus

All taken from me.

Catherine

Still-wasted. Now all you want to do is destroy...something. Someone you don't even know.

Paracelsus

Then you perceive my life to be...contradictory.

Catherine

No, Tragic.

Paracelsus

Don't you see? It doesn't end with your death, or Vincent's. This is only the beginning.

Catherine

The beginning? Of what?

Paracelsus

Reclaiming what is mine. After all these years, I've decided to go home!

Vincent

Catherine...On the journey, I felt for the first time, as if somehow you were lost to me. I knew you were in danger and yet I could sense no fear.

Catherine

I was afraid, Vincent, but I couldn't allow myself to feel the fear.

Vincent

You didn't want to draw me.

Catherine

I couldn't

Vincent

You would sacrifice so much...

Catherine

I would sacrifice everything, for you...What Paracelsus said about your past-

Vincent

Before I left, Father told me something that I am just now beginning to understand. He said that there is a truth beyond knowledge...beyond everything you could ever hope to know.

Catherine

Yes.

Vincent

And that truth is...love.

Catherine

What do you want?

Paracelsus

Once a person is visited by violence, everything changes. Isn't that so? Nictze said, "That which does not kill me, makes me stronger." Well, I am stronger now!

Catherine

You still haven't answered my question.

Paracelsus

Vincent is the answer to your question. He is all that stands between Father and me, in more ways than one. (Shows Catherine burns on his face) And this is why I must destroy him.

Catherine

I am not afraid.

Paracelsus

You will be. You see, Vincent is also coming here to watch you die.

Catherine

Why? Why have you brought me here?

Paracelsus

Must there be a reason?

Catherine

Yes.

Paracelsus

I was exiled from my home, from the world I created, by the man you call Father. Even then, he wouldn't allow me to live in peace.

Catherine

I know the story. Fifty people died because of you.

Paracelsus

I killed no one. They died because they were fools.

Catherine

They were weak. There's a difference!
