What is it?

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.

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.

Well, your highness, I must say everything is going just swimmingly. I knew you had it in you.

I had to.

Yes, but but but but why?

Because I love her.
