Belle? Are you happy here with me?
[Belle]

[Beast]
What is it?
[Belle]
If only I could see my father again. Just for a moment. I miss him so much.
[Beast]
There is a way.
This mirror will show you anything. Anything you wish to see.
[Belle]
I'd like to see my father, please. Papa! Oh no... He's sick. He may be dying and he's all alone.
[Beast]
Then you must go to him.
[Belle]
What did you say?
[Beast]
I release you. You're no longer my prisoner.
[Belle]
You mean I'm free?
[Beast]
Yes.
[Belle]
Oh, thank you. Hold on, Papa. I'm on my way.
[Beast]
Take it with you. So you'll always have a way to look back and remember me.
[Belle]
Thank you for understanding how much he needs me.
[Cogsworth]
Well, your highness, I must say everything is going just swimmingly. I knew you had it in you.
[Beast]
I let her go.
[Cogsworth]
Yes, yes. Splenâyou what? How could you do that?
[Beast]
I had to.
[Cogsworth]
Yes, but but but but why?
[Beast]
Because I love her.
[Group]
He did what?
[Cogsworth]
Yes. I'm afraid it's true.
[Chip]
She's going away?

But he was so close.
[Mrs. Potts]
After all this time. He's finally learned to love.

That's it then. That should break the spell.
[Mrs. Potts]
