Quote #4

LEFOU: No one's slick as Gaston / No one's quick as Gaston / No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston!

We won't repeat the whole song (though have a listen; it's a good one), but pay attention to the lyrics. Everyone is praising Gaston's body and the various things he can do with it. (G-rated things…come on, people, get your minds out of the gutter.) But, not one of them talks about who he is inside. They don't care about that kind of stuff.

Quote #5

BEAST: She's so beautiful and…well, look at me!

The Beast knows he's monstrous-looking and assumes that Belle will see him just as others do.

Quote #6

BEAST: She'll never see me as anything but a monster…it's hopeless.

This is the Beast's lowest moment: his absolute despair at ever being restored to being human. But, at least here he acknowledges that his inner self is what's important, not his outer self.
