[Does this look like a harassed clock with a human face? Does it? Good, because it's Cogsworth, sitting in front of a window on the Marvisa and he looks like he just swallowed about a half a dozen lemons. In his tiny brass hands he is holding a piece of paper, and he keeps fiddling with it, shifting it between his two hands.

He puts one brass hand up to his mouth, clears his throat, and then fumbles with the paper for a moment. Could he be ... nervous? It's possible.

Lips pressed together, the time hands on his face twitching, he states flatly.]

Hello. My name is Cogsworth and I am a ... [now he has to look at the word.] Ho-mo-sexual. I realize that I am a ... clock, but I assure you that I am not a ho-mo-sex-ual clock, but a ho-mo-sex-ual man. I have been ... told. Rigorously.

[Here he is glowering.]

That I need to ... 'embrace' this. So. If there are any ... individual males who would not mind ... being complimented by a ... human clock, then, ah. Please! Come forward.

[Okay he'll try a smile but it's more of a sheepish grimace at this point. God help him.]

Oh yes, but he's too much of an idiot to realize it. Besides he's obsessed with women. I have never seen him obsess over a man in our time working together.

Then I encourage you to find another - as painful as that may be. You are much too kind to be trapped in a hopeless situation.

Oh! ... well, Thank you. [If clocks could sound like they were blushing ... ] I just do not know anyone who would want to be found by a clock.

Are you doomed to always take that shape? Curses can be broken - if that is what has befallen you.

What? Oh no! No, sooner or later we will break this curse and I will be human again. A very well-dressed, turned out fellow with a ... ahem, health appetite.

There is naught wrong with a healthy appetite! If you do not mind me asking, how may the curse be broken? Do you know?

Yes. My master must find someone to love, and love him in turn, before the last petal falls on the enchanted rose that he was given by the enchantress.

That is a difficult task indeed for anyone. I do not envy him, though he obviously has the best of servants.

oh! Well, thank you very much ... and yes, we are trying to help by finding a cure just in case. Well. Unless he falls in love.

If he is worthy of your loyalty and service, he will stand a chance. (But a cure? Maedhros frowns.) There are Wizards on Arda. Should one of them arrive, I could direct them to you?

Oh, he is. He's a good boy, despite it all. I do sincerely wish we had all done better by one another.

You are not dead and there is no reason to wait until the curse is lifted. Each day is precious.

You know ... Lumiere has said the same thing. Rather amazing, that.
