 Subconscious Self: So we've agreed to a stage performance despite how much public speaking unnerves us. No, no, just wait for it....it's a burlesque show! Surprise! And the music for our number is Rasputina's Transylvanian Concubine, performed live! Don't worry that your costume is the slacks and dress shirt you worn at work today. And Orlando Jones is the MC.

Head canon suggests it comes not only from her Father's school and her childhood but from Belle's reminder that books and stories have value.
