Beauty IS a Beast is the story of a spoiled princess named Beauty who is beautiful on the outside but ugly on the inside. Her fairy godmother decides to teach her a lesson and turn her inside out. This monologue is from near the end of the play after Beauty has learned her lesson.
(To FAIRY GODMOTHER)
It worked, fairy godmother. It worked! I'm happy not being a beauty.
(Looks at NICK)
But, I can't just go back to the way I was. I like my new life.

PRINCESS BEAUTY
Nick, please don't grovel. That's why I liked you. You didn't feel like you had to treat me that way. I'm just a normal peasant girl now.
My stupid fairy godmother did this to me. Correction: My smart fairy godmother. She's made me like cleaning.
(To FAIRY GODMOTHER)
It worked, fairy godmother. It worked! I'm happy not being a beauty.
(Looks at NICK)
I never thought I could live without my beauty, but I guess I can.
But, I can't just go back to the way I was. I like my new life.
I just don't want to be who I was before. I can never be as good as Honor.
(To HONOR)
I'm still not as beautiful as you are, sister. I don't think I ever can be.
I used to think I was the most beautiful woman in the kingdom, but not anymore. Now I think you've always been the most beautiful the whole time, I just couldn't see it.
No, Fairy Godmother, don't change me back. I don't think I want my old beauty anymore. It does me more harm than good.
