Quote #7

TOWNSPEOPLE: We don't like what we don't / Understand; in fact, it scares us / And this monster is mysterious at least.

A nice demonstration of tolerance and compassion from the local angry mob. Stay classy, yokels.

Quote #8

LUMIERE: Sacre bleu! Invaders!

We're assuming that the town itself lies within the Beast's domain, meaning that the peasants should be beholden to him. Heck, some of his enchanted servants may have come from the village. Instead, Lumiere calls them "invaders," suggesting that they are not a part of his good-buddy brigade anymore.

Quote #9

BELLE: Please! Please! Please don't leave me! I love you…

The threat of exile doesn't diminish just because Gaston is dead. If the Beast dies, he leaves Belle unable to reach him, still shut off from a sense of belonging and apt to stay that way for the rest of her life. Glad she got in that "I love you" just in time.
