Joshua Bassett
I Can’t Confess My Love
LUMIERE
Tonight is the night…the night to confess your love

BEAST
I'm not sure I can do that

COGSWORTH
You must!

LUMIERE
You care for the girl, don’t you?

BEAST
More than anything

LUMIERE
Then why not tell her?

BEAST
I can't!

COGSWORTH
You must!

(Lumiere waves at him to be quiet.)
LUMIERE
There will be beautiful music, romantic candlelight, provided by myself, and then when the moment is right…

BEAST
How will I know when the moment is right?

COGSWORTH
You'll feel slightly nauseous

LUMIERE
No…no! You will know because you will feel it here…
(he points to his heart) …and you must speak from the heart

BEAST
I must speak from the …I can’t!

COGSWORTH & LUMIERE
You must!

(Lumiere waves at Cogsworth again.)

LUMIERE
What are you afraid of?

BEAST
Nothing!
LUMIERE
Master…

BEAST
I'm afraid she might…

COGSWORTH
She might what?

BEAST
Laugh at me

(Lumiere and Cogsworth look at each other...empathizing with his plight.)

LUMIERE
Somehow my prince, you must find the courage to take that chance

COGSWORTH
Master…look at the rose! There's so little time left!

BEAST
I really don't think I can do this

LUMIERE
Here. This might help to bolster your courage
(Cogsworth holds the Mirror up…the Beast groans and looks away. He doesn't want to see…but Lumiere turns his head to force him to look. He is dressed elegantly with his hair tied back in a ponytail. He actually looks good.)

BEAST
(surprised) Ah!
LUMIERE
You can do it, Master. I know you can
My Love Can't Be Confessed for now and evermore

If only she came back so soon
The Days in the sun come shining through
