Belle: Forbid Christmas? No one can forbid Christmas.

Chip: Belle... what's - Christmas?::Belle: Oh, Chip, you must know about Christmas. Stockings in front of the fire. Tree? Tinsle? Presents?::Chip: Presents! Will I get one?::Belle: Of course, everyone gets a present on Christmas.::Chip: Aw, even the master?::Belle: Yes, even the master.

Lumiere: And you said it was impossible!::Angelique: No, no, no. I said it was impossible without - *me*.

I told you Christmas was a hopeless folly. But, I was wrong. [singing] When I felt lost and lonely, not a dream in my head, your words lifted my spirits high. Remember what you said: As long as there's Christmas, I truly believe that hope is the greatest of the gifts we'll receive.
