Vincent: Catherine, I come on an urgent mission. The children insist that you come Below tonight to Father's chamber.
Catherine: Really? What is the occasion?
Vincent: Something of a miracle.
Catherine: Tell me.
Vincent: This year, there were several children in the music classes who we felt were not ready to perform at the Winterfest. Some were simply too inexperienced, but others failed to show a true committment to the music. I think that in order to prove to all of us that we were in grave error, these children have joined together to form their own Concert Society.
Catherine: Sounds wonderful.

Catherine: (at the recital) They are really good.
Vincent: We offered to help but they refused. They were so determined.
Catherine: Just look at their faces. They know they have done it.
Vincent: Yes, they have succeeded in humbling their elders.
Catherine: Besides the music, what can be sweeter?
Vincent: You know children
Catherine: I used to be one once.
Vincent: Yes, but you remember.
Catherine: More and more.

Vincent: (at council) Perhaps, instead of concealing the truth from this boy, we should tell him who we are and how we live.

Elderly man: My crime was that I grew old. You see, in the world Above people don't want to look at me, an old man, this unpleasant reminder of their future. I was to be cast away, hidden from the eyes of the young, who want to believe they'll live forever. In the world Above I lived too long. But here, Below, I've not lived long enough. So why am I here? To make memories, so that the last moments of my life may be as full of warmth and love as the very first moments of my life.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Mary: Home. Children. I help the children grow. I nurse them when they are sick. Teach them. I love all of them as if each one was my own. I lost my own. To lose a child is to lose everything. It was here that I found family again. The children are safe here. This is our safe place. I tell them it will be here for them always.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Pascal: Trust. Continuity. A tradition of work and honor passed won from my father to me: a system of communication, a way in which we can always be connected. I continue what he began so many years ago, so that those who come after will remember him long after I am gone. I was born here. This is my birthright and my legacy.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
William: My life Above was filled with disappointments and failures. Nothing good ever happened until I found this home beneath the city. I do what I do best, I cook. Feed people, and they appreciate me.

Geoffery: When my mother died, I went to the orphanage and people would come to adopt us. We would all line up and I would smile as they came by, hoping they would choose me. But they never did. But everyone wants me here. I don't cry anymore. I got chosen.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Father: When I left the world Above, I was disillusioned, heartbroken. I had lost my faith. Here, it was that I learned to listen to my heart and heal my wounds. Here, I learned to believe again. Hopes and dreams created this fragile world. Pride and vigilence maintain it, and it survives only because it is separate and apart. It is a refuge, where the disillusioned regain their vision, where the lost become found. Where each one of us can explore the best of our being, the best of what it means to be...human and to be alive.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Vincent: My very existence lies here within these tunnels. It is my salvation. I could not exist elsewhere. Without this place there is nothing for me. You must never, as long as you live, reveal what you have seen tonight. To do so would mean the end of life for all of us, and the end of our world. You bear the weight of a great responsibility, but it is also a great privilege. You will always have a safe place here should you need it. Now, you must go back to the world Above and carry our secret with you forever, in silence.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Catherine: (to Brian) Our secret is now in your hands. Please keep it safe for us.

Mouse: Hard to keep secrets. First time is hardest. Gets easier. Gets better.

Devin: (to Charles) Remember what I told you? About the secret place where I was born? It's right over there across the bridge. Its full of music and candles everywhere you look...and the people...they're like a family.

Father: Devin, even when you were a small boy, I could always count on you to make life interesting. Nonetheless, it's good to have you home.

Vincent: "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..."
Devin: That pretty well describes it, doesn't it?
Vincent: Our childhood?
Devin: My life...This used to be my favorite book.
Vincent: On Tuesdays, anyway.
Devin: "Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds."

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Devin: This place brings back a lot of memories.
Vincent: It should...you lived here half your life.
Devin: Things are different. You moved things around.
Vincent: You left...Things change, Devin. Years pass.
Devin: People change, too.
Vincent: Some people...sometimes.

Vincent: When I walk the city streets, I wear a cloak with a hood to shadow my face.
Charles: But your face is-
Vincent: A mirror, like yours. Where frightened men see the shape of their own fears, and small men see only ugliness.

Charles: Do you forget to hide?
Vincent: I do not hide my face here. This is my home.
Charles: My home?
Vincent: If you want it to be.

Vincent: When I was young, I only knew these tunnels. I would hear the other children talk about the world Above and all its wonders. I wanted to see them too. So one night, Devin took me up to the park. The lights went on forever and the night was full of sounds and smells and music, so much so that it made me dizzy. When I looked up ...
Charles: Was it an airplane?
Vincent: No. It was the moon. It was the most magical thing I had ever seen. I was afraid that if I looked away for a second that it would vanish and I would never see it again.

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Catherine: Where will they go?
Vincent: To the mountains to begin. A place far away from people Devin says. Where Charles can feel the sunlight on his face and learn not to be afraid...a place to heal, to grow, to feel human. Somewhere ...
Catherine: ... south of Oz and north of Shangri-La

Catherine: Ten other desks in that office - Why did it have to land on mine?
Vincent: So you could help him

TV Show: Beauty and the Beast
Catherine: I don't know what I am supposed to be here, Vincent. Am I a friend or a prosecutor? How can I be both?
Vincent: You follow the truth.
Catherine: The truth is? Most of the time I think the people we prosecute deserve to be punished, but I know Kanin. He's a good man and I know what he means to all of us. Where is the justice in that?
Vincent: Perhaps, in making it possible for two people to release their burden
