Later, when Belle proves her father sane by showing everybody what the Beast looks like and telling them that he's changed to a kind and gentle soul, Gaston ponders how Belle could possibly fall in love with such a monster. Belle, of course, responds that the Beast isn't the one who's the monster - [[You Monster!|the real monster, as Belle points out, is none other than Gaston himself]]. Upon hearing that response, of course, Gaston just [[Villainous Breakdown|snaps]]. His response? "She's as crazy as her father!" Cue his resolve for everybody to kill the Beast and [[Villain Song|The Mob Song]] being played after that.
