Beauty and the Beast
Scene 2: Merchants Are Not Welcome! Setting: Later that day, in the rich merchant’s home.
Oh, look! A messenger is coming. I don’t always love my job, but today is different. Today I have some really good news. What is it? You know, being a messenger is harder than it looks. Sometimes you have to bring people bad news and then people get angry at you even though you’re just the messenger. But today , I’m delivering good news. Tell us! I am here to invite your daughters to a ball held by the rich merchant, Mr. Potter. What an honor! To be invited to the ball of one of the richest men in town! That’s the news? You may as well have saved yourself the trip. But it’s the biggest ball in town! Surely you want to go, girls? No way, Jose!
