Beauty and the Beast Season 2 Episode 13

Catherine: (about Lisa) Did she leave the tunnels in order to dance?
Vincent: That is not why she left...though it may have been the reason at the time.
Catherine: Why did she leave?
Vincent: Because I loved her.

Lisa (after hugging him) Let me look at you. You've changed...Oh, Vincent, you are my most special memory in all of the world. (regarding him) I'd forgotten how quiet you are...You are angry. Angry I did not come the other night. (babbles with excuses)

Vincent: Why are you here?
Lisa: Vincent, please don't worry. I am here in New York and I so wanted to see you again...and Father...and everyone.
Vincent: You never came before.
Lisa: You know...you must think of me as a prodigalistic sister, long lost, abadon, who has found her way home again...for a visit.
Vincent: To me, you were more than a sister.

Lisa: That's something you should always remember, Samantha. You see, 80% of a woman's charm is in her mystery.

(flashback)
Lisa: (to Vincent) One day I will be out there too, Vincent. I will dance for all the world. I will dance for kings. But I will be dancing only for you.

Lisa: Dreams begin right where you are. Right here. Right now.

Joe: That's what I like to see-taxpayer money hard at work.
Catherine: I never thought of that. Huh. I pay my own salary.

Lisa: You know Father hates me.
Vincent: Father does not hate you.
Lisa: He hates me. Then why does he insult me with his politeness? He blames me.
Vincent: Perhaps a part of him does.
Lisa: Well, let's not talk about it.

Vincent: (sigh) Lisa, there are things you don't know...A time in my life after you left.
Lisa: (exasperated) I only want to remember the pleasant moments
Vincent: (sadly) Lisa...

Catherine: What does this woman mean to you, Vincent? Can you tell me?
Vincent: There are moments...images I remember so clearly, burning so deeply.
Catherine: Tell me about these moments.

Vincent: It was a time when I first felt the tremendous joy that dreams could bring...the intoxication of sending your heart soaring, into the realm of hope...At that same time I learned that for me dreams could bring more pain than I could ever bear, enough pain to destroy me...Even those around me.
Catherine: How? What happened? You can tell me. You can tell me anything.
Vincent: I once thought that. But there are things...things that I have dreamt away.
Catherine: We've never withheld the truth from each other. Never.
Vincent: I know.

Vincent: Why do you persist in punishing Lisa for what happened? For what I did.
Father: Don't ever say that, Vincent.

Vincent: Nothing has changed since you sent her away.
Father: I didn't send her away
Vincent: You did!
Father: No!
Vincent: How can you deny it?!?!
Father: For God's sake, don't you understand?!?! I was trying to protect you.
Vincent: Protect me?
Father: From her...from disappointment...I watched yougrowing up beside Lisa,watched you growing closer together. Knowing that one day she would leave the tunnels...and you

Father: I've...I've tried to be fair, Vincent, in...in raising all of you. I made choices that had to be made...Though I don't know anymore which was right and which was wrong. All I do know, Vincent, is that they were made with love.
Vincent: And it is that love that I make the choices I must, now.

(after a flashback reveals the incident)
Lisa: What's the matter? You have such a strange expression on your face. Something is the matter. I am just going to pretend that there is nothing different about you at all. What on earth are you thinking about?
Vincent: What happened in this hall.
Lisa: Winterfest! Candles! Music!
Vincent: What happened between both of us...for so long, I could not forgive mtself for hurting you...driving you away.

Lisa: I am going to make a new life for myself.
Vincent: (sigh) Lisa,
Lisa: You hold too a great a reverence for the past, Vincent. It was nothing. It was child's play.

Vincent: So are we playing now?
Lisa: Now?
Vincent: Yes, I know you are in danger. I know you are afraid. I know you are hiding. You surround yourself with illusions, but illusions fade. Lisa, you must trust me as you once did.

Catherine: (to Lisa) You have caused him some deep pain, that I cannot reach.

Lisa: It is over...played out. You know what "played out" means to me? It's when the music stops.

Vincent: Catherine...
Catherine: I wonder if I ever won't be surprised to see you standing there
Vincent: We have never withheld the truth from each other
Catherine: No
Vincent: Catherine, there are things I must tell you, about who I am and what I am.
Catherine: Vincent, to me, you are beautiful.
Vincent: What I have to tell you is not beautiful. It's terrifying. And shameful. But it is the truth.
Catherine: Then I want to hear it.

Vincent: It's about Lisa, what she meant in my life.
Catherine: Yes?

Vincent: I would watch her dance, she would dance in the Great Hall, alone for herself, for me. There was nothing in the world as beautiful as Lisa.
Catherine: ... and you desired her. There is no shame in that.
Vincent: For me there is.
Catherine: Why?

Vincent: Because I hurt her...because in my desire I forgot who I was. Who I am. As she moved closer, I wanted to hold her. She was dancing, and...and I felt a pull. It was pulling me to her, and I reached out for her. Suddenly, in her eyes, I saw fear of me. I saw myself. But I couldn't let go of her...And I knew these hands were not meant to give love.
Catherine: These hands are beautiful. These are my hands.
