SCENE 1
Narrator: Once upon a
time on a stormy night a baby was born, son of a horrible witch called
“Maleficent”. The baby was really awful like his mother.
(The witch was lying down on the
bed, she was in labour. She was yelling and swearing like a sailor).
Maleficent: Damn it! If I had known that it was so painful, I
wouldn’t have gotten pregnant. This is the devil’s work. I hope my son to
be the most beautiful boy
in this town and if he is not; I will never let him go outside.
(The baby cries and she looks at
him with scary eyes)
Maleficent: What an atrocious thing I have for a son! He would be
dangerous for the world! Why does this happen to me? What’s the reason for this
punishment? I do deserve this misfortune, but he will be the one who pay for my
mistakes!
(She is crying and then she goes
and leaves her son on the bed)
Narrator: Twenty years
later. In a dark cave the young man rest willing to break free.
Beast (ugly): (He appears
looking at the mirror and talking to himself. He is touching his face) What a miserable man I am! I
have all the things normal people want to have, any treasure I desire. However,
I live alone and I can’t get the simplest things normal people have; friends,
freedom, love… (He cries and the Fairy Godmother comes out).
Fairy Godmother: Oh my beautiful Beast, I am with you, do not worry!
Due to your misfortune I am here to help you and I will give you whatever you
want. Just ask me!
Beast (ugly): I wish to change my physical appearance in order to
hang out and have friends, at least for today.
Fairy godmother: I’ll do what you desire. So I’m going to transform you
into the most good-looking prince in the whole world. (The Fairy Godmother tries to whisper a magic spell as she moves her
hands; unfortunately the magic wand doesn’t work, so she begins to shake her
magic wand desperately).
Fairy Godmother: Damn it! This stupid thing! Just in this moment this
stupid wand is ruined! But take it easy my dear, I’ll fix it. (She
takes a paste from her pockets and pastes the magic wand with a tape, and then
she tries once again. This time it works). — (The beast turns around several
times while changing his appearance). Don’t
forget this enchantment! You will be a handsome man as long as you want it! The
only condition is not to harm or do bad things to anyone, if you do, then you
will be ugly once again.
Maleficent: My dear Beast! (She enters and the Fairy Godmother disappears). Who are you, where is my son? (She
is worried and anguished). Give
me my son back, where is he? How you dare to come into my house, don’t you know
I am the most powerful witch in this town; I can destroy you if I want! Get out
of my house now! (She beats him).
Cruella: Mom, what is going on? What is that noise? Who is this
poor man you are fighting with? (Cruella tries to help Beast since she does
not know he is his brother who now has a different appearance). Why are you always disturbing
others, I hate you, and I hate all your secrets, this family will never be
normal. (Cruella goes out with Beast… she consoles him after the beating
Maleficent gave him)
Maleficent: (Maleficent rest alone inside the
cave, she keeps looking for his son who has gone with Cruella).Where is my son? I know that he is
awful, but he is a good person, is this devil´s plan? Who have taken him away
from me?
Cruella: Who are you? What were you doing
at my mother’s house? Were you trying to kill Beast? I heard the King will pay
for his death…
Beast (attractive): Can’t you see it? It’s me! I am Beast… my whole life I
was willing to be changed, and now I am! Come with me! Leave Maleficent, sooner
or later she will destroy you if you stay.
Cruella: All right brother… I will go with you, I won’t let her
to destroy us, we have suffered enough!
(Cruella goes back to the cave;
she enters her bedroom in order to gather her personal belongings).
Maleficent: What are you thinking young girl? You are not going to
leave me as your brother just did. If you do that, you’ll regret it. (Maleficent keeps yelling and tries to stop
her, but she managed to leave).
Cruella: (She stands at the door staring at
Maleficent). Don’t worry mother, you won’t be alone! All the evil
spirits you talk with during the nights will rest by your side! You’re the
worst person in the world and now you are getting what you deserve (She
leaves).
SCENE 2
(After Beast and Cruella’s escape,
the siblings are walking in a park; they have been walking for many days
without food or water, so that, they have gained a careless appearance “ñeros”.
Narrator: Belle was
running in the park totally scared because somebody tried to rape her. In the
middle of the escape she trips over a stone, Beast who was there with her
sister runs to help her. As soon as they see each other they fall in love.
Belle: Help me, help
me, please. A man wants to rape me!
Beast (ñero): Don’t worry!
I’ll help you! (In that moment Belle faints, Cruella takes
a bottle of water and tries to revive her).
Bella: Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me. (She
yells half-asleep) Justin
Bieber is it you? (Beast laughs ironically, Belle finally
wakes up)Oh my god, I can’t believe it. I’m truly sorry…
Narrator: Beast stands
Belle up and they dance for a moment.
(Music is played, while dancing
Beast stepped on Belle, he stops dancing)
Belle: What’s wrong,
why do you stop? Are you going to tell me the truth? I know you look a bit
dirty and you may smell like a toilet, but I can see you have elegant manners,
is there anything I should know?
(Cruella interrupts the lovely
chat)
Cruella : No, there’s nothing you should know, my brother and I
have to go now or we will miss the train.
(The siblings run and Belle stays
confused)
Narrator: Beast is
charmed with the beauty of Belle. He prays that his Fairy Godmother
fulfills his wish.
Beast (ñero): Please,
Fairy Godmothers help me once again. I want to see her one more time!
Fairy godmother: But what is
happening? I see you are not happy, not even now your exterior is different! I
am going to help you but I need money – nothing in life is for free.
Beast (ñero): All right,
how much money do you want?
Fairy godmother: I want 20.000 dollars, in cash.
Beast (ñero): Ok, I accept.
But I have some suggestions: I want to be taller, a little thinner, with
amazing blue eyes and blond hair. And I want to change my speech because I
don’t like to sound like a redneck.
Fairy Godmother: Mm Ok. You are quite ambitious, you have one day to
get the money.
(In that moment the Beast goes
crazy about the idea of being even more attractive, he finds a wallet on a
chair, he takes the money and throws the wallet)
Beast (ñero): Fairy
Godmother! I got more money, now fulfill your promise!
Fairy Godmother: Okay, okay. Show me what you got (Beast
takes the money on his hand) I
hope you to have earned it with your work, did you?
(Beast rest quite, then the Fairy
Godmother realizes he stole the money)
Fairy godmother: You did not respect the deal, so that you will be the
ugly beast you hate once again. (The Fairy Godmother takes out her magic
wand and turns the man into Beast once again).
(Belle arrives and finds Beast
lying on the floor)
Belle: Oh! My
goodness! What happened to you? Who did this to you? (She
turns him over and sees the dirty but good-looking man now is an ugly beast,
she steps back really scared. In that moment Cruella arrives).
Cruella: Can you explain this to me? I knew you were a bad
person for my brother! Look what you have done! (Belle
starts to cry).
Belle: Don’t you understand? I didn’t have anything to do
with this, I just found him like this! Is this his big secret?
Narrator: In that moment Cruella calms down and tell Belle the
real story. (They whisper around Beast lying body, the
two girls start crying and in that moment the Fairy Godmother reappears)
Fairy Godmother: Move apart you fool girls! Beast broke the deal, so
that I will take him with me, you will never see him again, so say goodbye!
(Stop – Maleficent reappears)
Maleficent: You won’t take my son anywhere… he is mine!
(The two magical women start
fighting with their magic wands until death)
Cruella: So this is the end, all the ambitious ones have paid
the consequences… my mother, the fairy godmother and… (She
turns towards his brother lying body).
Belle: Oh Beast, dear beast… forever goodbye (in that moment Belle kisses Beast forehead and closes his eyes, but
Beast wakes up and hugs Belle)
Narrator: The love of Belle for Beast broke the
spell the Fairy Godmother whispered on him, she accepted his lover appearance
and they lived happily ever after.
