Beast Lets Belle Go

[Beast]

Belle? Are you happy here with me?

[Belle]

Yes.

[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. Splen—you 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?

[Lumiere]

But he was so close.

[Mrs. Potts]

After all this time. He's finally learned to love.

[Lumiere]

That's it then. That should break the spell.

[Mrs. Potts]

But it's not enough. She has to love him in return.

[Cogsworth]

And now it's too late.
