Dem: Man. Seeing Macavity do that last song that well had me really re-evaulating what I've said and done to him in the past. Maybe he is a pretty decent guy after all....

Bomb: Dem, think about what you're saying here. This is MACAVITY.

Pounce: And there was the whole thing that he WAS only acting.

Munku: I second Pounce's vote of non-confidence.

Veroni: Everyone ready to continue?

Mac: Do I get anymore tear-jerking songs?

Veroni: Uh, I think so....

Mac: Good. Then we may proceed.

Veroni: Great. Thanks for giving me PERMISSION!

Mac: I'm sorry if I overstepped my boundaries.

Veroni: Oh, we are WAY past the overstepping.... a leap maybe, but a step was a LONG time ago!

(The curtain comes up on Act 2 with the cast assembled. It's been about a week since the Beast saved Bomb from the wolf pack when she ran away. They are all singing about how things have changed and that something is there that wasn't there before...)

Munku: Song cue!

Misto: And by setting this action a week after the wolf attack, we're saving money by not having to simulate it.

Veroni: Wow, Misto! You're learning!

Bomb: (sings) There's something strange, and almost kind

But he was mean, and he was coarse and unrefined

But now he's dear, and so unsure

I wonder why I didn't see it there before?

Mac: She glanced this way, I thought I saw

And when we touched, she didn't shudder at my paw

No, it can't be.... I'll just ignore.

But then, she never looked at me that way before.

(takes her hand and stops singing) Bomb, I have something to show you. But before I do, I want you to close your eyes. It's a surprise!

Bomb: Can I open them?

Mac: Alright.... alright.... NOW!

(They are in the middle of the vast castle library. He gives it to her a present and she is overwhelmed.)

Bomb: (sings, aside)

New, and a bit alarming.

Who'd have ever thought that this could be?

True, that he's no Prince Charming.

But there's something in him that I simply didn't see....

(They sit down to read a book together while the servants look on, singing.)

Misto: Well who'd have thought?

Jenny: Well, bless my soul!

Munku: Well, who'd have known?

Jenny: Well, who indeed?

Misto: And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?

Jenny: It's so peculiar!

All Three: Wait and see, a few days more

There may be something there that wasn't there before!

Munku: Prehaps there's something there that wasn't there before

Cori: (actually, just his head stuck up through the tablecloth on a rolling table) What?

Jenny: There may be something there that wasn't there before.

Cori: What's there, momma?

Jenny: Shhhh! I'll tell you when you're older...

Cori: VERONI! My legs are starting to cramp up under here!

Veroni: Aw, just quit wining! You were actually on the brink of a really nice, sentimental moment!

(The objects hurry off to go inform the rest of the castle's residents that the master is falling in love and that there's a chance the spell could be broken. Overjoyed, they sing a song about becoming felines once again.)

Misto: Ah, Oui my friends! The day we have waited for may be at hand!

Jenny: Oh, if only that were true, Misumiere!

Misto: Feline again.

Jenny: Oh, feline again!

Misto: Just think of it! (sings)

I'll be cooking again, be good looking again

With a mademoiselle on each arm

When I'm feline again! Only feline again!

Poised and polished, and gleaming with charm!

I'll be courting again! Chic and sporting again!

Jenny: Which should cause several husbands alarm!

Cori: I hop down off this shelf!

All: And tout de suite be myself!

Cori: I can't wait to be feline again!

(This song gets fairly repetitive, so we'll cut the rest of it and move on for the sake of HTML doc and your general mental health...)

Jenny: Thank the Everlasting Cat!

(Back in the village, Tugston and Lefounce have enlisted the help of the Assylum director-- Rumpson des Lunes.)

Tugger: (sings menacingly) When a tom like me is thwarted and denied his honeymoon

Pounce: When the pretty thing he's courted refuses to swoon.

Tugger: Then, the time has come for a murky plan

Pounce: For which he turns to a murky man!

Both: To find that fiend, where better than at the Rumpson des Lunes

Tugger: You'll be strapping up an inmate

Pounce:-- very tightly --

Tugger: --very soon. But we won't bring him in late

Pounce: The check-in time's noon.

Rumpus: How sad Gusurice is not too well

Tugger: Prepare a five-star padded cell

All: And book him in for a long, long spell

At the Rumpson des Lunes

Tugger: Do I make myself entirely clear?

Pounce: It's the simplest deal of your whole foul career!

Tugger: But Gusurice away and she'll be here in moments in a dreadful state!

She'll capitulate to me!

Rumpus: OH! OH! OH! I LOVE incarceration! I could lock up a platoon!

Lec: Is it just me or does Rumpus sound like he's lost his mind?

Munku: (starts singing) OH! OH! OH! This cat is nuts like I said

It's plain for you to see

For when he starts a-singing, you'll wish you were dead.

Rumpus: Quite funny. I'm sure to laugh any moment now.... wait.... Oh well, I was wrong.... NO LAUGH.

(Anyhow, they finish singing and set about preparing to lock away the old man. Meanwhile, back in the Beast's castle, he and the servants are preparing for a night of romancing for Bomb and the Beast. The festivities get underway when Bomb appears in a radiant golden dress and the two take a spin on the dance floor.)

Veroni: This is a CLASSIC guys. In short-- No messing up!!

Bomb: But these undergarments make me itch---

Veroni: NOT ANOTHER WORD!!! MORE SINGING AND DANCING!!!

Bomb: But they're gonna give me a rash!!

Cetera: Do you want some cheese with that WINE?

Jenny: (standing next to Cori--- well, actually Cori's head, but---- You already heard this story, huh? Well, just listen in then.)

Tale as old as time, true as it can be

Barely even friends

Then somebody bends unexpectedly

Just a little change small, to say the least

Both a little scared, neither one prepared

Bomby and the Beast

Ever just the same, ever a surprise

Ever as before and ever just as sure as the sun will rise

Tale as old as time, tune as old as song

Bittersweet and strange

Finding you can change

Learning you were wrong

Certain as the sun rising in the East

Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme

Bomby and the Beast

Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme

Bomby and the....... Beast

Veroni: Everyone be completely still! DON'T SPOIL THE MOMENT!

Queens: **contented sighs all around**

Mungo: **wipes a tear on Pounce**

Pounce: HEY!

Bustopher: WHERE? OH DEAR! I'm allergic to hay!

Griz: I am not going grey!

Gus: The month of May is lovely, but I'm not sure what it has to do with this...

Mungo: (walks back out in his Enjolras costume) Did someone say Les Mis?

Veroni: Never mind.... just never mind. I think I feel a headache coming on....

Jenny: So we can take a break?!!

Veroni: FINE! Go on... whatever then.
