PRETTY SNEAKY, FLOUNDER.

HA HA HA! HA HA HA!

HMM! ARIEL, YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR THE NEPTUNE BALL.

THE FOOD IS LAID OUT. THE GUESTS ARE ARRIVING.

AND YOU'RE OUT HERE, PLAYING TAG AROUND THE KING'S TREASURE VAULT!

ALL RIGHT, SEBASTIAN.

JUST ONE MORE TAG.

YOU'RE IT.

I AM MOST CERTAINLY NOT IT!

AND NO SUCH FOOLISHNESS AT THE NEPTUNE BALL!

[MUSIC PLAYS]

WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT LITTLE FELLOW IS UP TO?

[ARIEL] I DON'T KNOW.

I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE.

[PLAYING FASTER]

GO AWAY.

GET OFF OF THERE! GET OFF! GO AWAY!

SHOO! SHOO! SHOO!

-[MUSIC STOPS] -[GASPS]

COME ON, FLOUNDER.

ARIEL, WAIT!

HMM. IF I FOLLOW HER,

ARIEL WILL JUST THINK I'M...

MEDDLING AGAIN.

YOU'RE RIGHT, SEBASTIAN.

YOU DO THE MEDDLING.

OH.

YES, YOUR MAJESTY.

OF COURSE, THE PARTY'S GOING TO BE A REAL DUD WITHOUT ME.

HERE'S ANOTHER ONE.

DINNER IS SERVED, BOSS.

I STOLE IT FROM UNDER THE KING'S NOSE.

NICE GOING, KID.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

AND I'LL MAKE SOMETHING OF YOU YET.

HA HA HA!

THIS MUST BE WHERE HE LIVES.

[LAUGHTER CONTINUES]

SOUNDS LIKE ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY.

LET'S GO HOME.

LOOK. I DROPPED ONE.

UH-OH.

IT'S THE PRINCESS OF THE PALACE.

YOU MUST'VE BEEN PRETTY HUNGRY

TO STEAL ALL THAT FOOD.

FOOD? WE DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT NO STOLEN FOOD.

IF YOU WERE JUST HUNGRY...

I'M ALWAYS HUNGRY.

WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW ABOUT BEING HUNGRY? YOU'RE A PRINCESS!

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO ALL DAY IS JUST PLAY TAG

AROUND YOUR FATHER'S TREASURE VAULT.

DO YOU LIKE TO PLAY TAG?

PLAYING TAG IS FOR KIDS.

YEAH. WE'RE INTO TAKING OVER THINGS, SEE?

WELL, WE'RE INTO PLAYING TAG.

YOU'RE IT.

HEY! THAT'S NOT FAIR.

WHOA!

THAT LOOKS LIKE FUN, BOSS.

TAG. YOU'RE IT. HA HA HA!

NO. YOU'RE IT. YOU'RE IT. YOU'RE IT!

THE LOBSTER MOBSTER--

ONE OF THE MOST CRIMINAL CRUSTACEANS

ON THE FACE ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA.

OH! I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

LIKE WHAT?

-[URCHIN] IT. -[ARIEL] WHAT? WHAT IT?

YOU'RE IT!

OH.

SO...HOW DID YOU BECOME FRIENDS WITH THAT NASTY LOBSTER?

I WANT TO BE SOMEBODY.

HE SAID IF I HIS MOB, I WAS SOMEBODY.

I THINK EVERYBODY IS SOMEBODY ALREADY,

BUT YOU ARE THE SOMEBODY

THAT WRECKED THE NEPTUNE BALL.

THOSE FISH-HEADS OF STATE NEEDED SOME EXCITEMENT.

STILL, YOU SHOULD APOLOGIZE TO DADDY.

APOLOGIZE? TO DO THAT, I'D HAVE TO BE SORRY.

THE LOBSTER MOBSTER THINKS I DID JUST GREAT.

HE'S MY PAL, SEE.

HE WON'T MAKE ME GO CRAWLING TO THE KING LIKE A BABY.

WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO TWIST HIS FIN.

[SEBASTIAN] THAT LITTLE MERBOY

IS FRIENDS WITH THE LOBSTER MOBSTER, YOUR MAJESTY.

THAT LOBSTER IS WANTED IN FIVE OF THE SEVEN SEAS,

AND HE'S NOT WANTED IN THE OTHER TWO.

BUT URCHIN IS REALLY NICE.

HE'S JUST... CONFUSED.

ARIEL, AS A PRINCESS, YOU MUST SET AN EXAMPLE,

PREFERABLY A GOOD EXAMPLE.

BETTER STAY AWAY FROM THE LAD.

BUT THAT ISN'T FAIR.

URCHIN IS JUST BEING MISLED.

HE DOESN'T HAVE A KIND, UNDERSTANDING FATHER

LIKE I HAVE.

[TRITON] OH, VERY WELL.

BRING THE BOY AROUND

AND WE'LL SEE.

URCHIN, ARE YOU HOME?

I KNEW THAT PRINCESS WOULD COME BACK.

MUST BE YOUR COLOGNE, BOSS.

NO. SHE ACTUALLY LIKES THAT URCHIN.

[BOTH GRUNTING]

OOH!

OH! OH!

GOT HER!

THE GIRL'S WORTH A FORTUNE.

SHE'S WORTH A FORTUNE, BOSS.

YEAH.

HOW WE GOING TO MAKE A FORTUNE OFF HER?

HER FATHER. HER FATHER, YOU COCKLEHEAD.

OH, YEAH. HER FATHER.

-YEAH. -HOW--

[LOBSTER] THE KING, THE KING.

THE KING'S TREASURE VAULT'S THE SIZE OF MY EGO.

WE'LL MAKE HIM PAY THROUGH THE NOSE.

OH, GREAT, BOSS.

UH... WHAT'S A NOSE?

CAN I JUST SAY ONE THING HERE?

SHUT UP!

YEAH, FIRST IMPRESSIONS ARE VERY IMPORTANT.

CAPTURING THE PRINCESS WILL GET US IN REAL GOOD

WITH CRAB LOUIE, SEE?

[SHRIMP] OKAY, SO WE GOT THE PRINCESS. NOW WHAT?

WE WRITE THE RANSOM NOTE.

"ALL RIGHT, KING, GIVE US ALL YOUR TREASURE

OR WE'LL FEED YOUR PRINCESS TO THE SHARKS."

TOO IMPERSONAL.

HEY, WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HUT?

UGH!

YOU DID GOOD, KID.

YOU'RE GOING TO BE SOMEBODY BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.

YOUR PRINCESS FRIEND CAME LOOKING FOR YOU,

AND WE'RE HOLDING HER FOR RANSOM.

[ARIEL] URCHIN?

DON'T LISTEN TO THEM.

THEY'RE JUST USING YOU.

[LOBSTER] THAT AIN'T TRUE, KID.

WE'RE YOUR BEST FRIENDS, SEE?

UH... YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.

COME ON, YOUSE GUYS. LET'S CELEBRATE.

I'LL... STEAL US SOMETHING TO EAT.

KID, YOU'RE A CROOK AFTER MY OWN HEART.

COME ON, SHRIMP. WE'LL FINISH THE RANSOM NOTE.

YEAH!

I THOUGHT URCHIN WAS OUR FRIEND.

SO DID I.

[LAUGHER CONTINUES]

HEY, YOUSE GUYS-- I MEAN YOU GUYS.

I'M SORRY I GOT YOU INTO THIS.

SO, YOU DO KNOW HOW TO APOLOGIZE.

LOOK, I JUST WANT TO HELP, OKAY?

GET KING TRITON. HE'LL BRING HIS TRIDENT,

THEN PAZOW! HE'LL COOK THAT LOBSTER'S TAIL,

AND THEN, HAWOW-SHMOW! HE'LL FRY THAT SHRIMP.

-AND THEN HE'LL-- -SOUNDS GOOD,

UNLESS HE DOES THOSE THINGS TO ME FIRST.

DON'T WORRY, HE'S REALLY KIND AND UNDERSTANDING.

YEAH, IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE IT.

NOBODY'S HERE.

THAT IS BECAUSE YOU RUINED THE ENTIRE NEPTUNE BALL!

YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO.

I SURE DO. ARIEL'S BEEN KIDNAPPED BY THE LOBSTER MOBSTER.

-[GASPS]WHAT? -YOU GOT TO GET THE KING

TO BRING HIS TRIDENT AND BLAST 'IM!

BUT THE KING HAS GONE OFF TO APOLOGIZE TO HIS GUESTS FOR THE BALL!

I DON'T KNOW WHERE HE IS.

WELL, THEN IT'S UP TO US.

AND... I HAVE AN IDEA.

REMEMBER, YOU'RE CRAB LOUIE.

I KNOW. I KNOW.

THE MOST CRIMINAL CRUSTACEAN SINCE SCALLOP CAPONE.

HOW ABOUT THIS? "TO WHO IT MAY CONCERN..."

KING. KING. IT'S THE KING, YOU BARNACLE BRAIN!

I SAY WE GET TOUGH.

"KING, WE GOT YOUR DAUGHTER, SEE, SO PAY UP!"

IT COULD BE MORE INFORMATIVE.

LIKE, UH... "DEAR KINGY-WINGY, GUESS WHAT WE GOT?

BESIDES BAD GRAMMAR AND POOR SPELLING, THAT IS."

NO KINGY-WINGY, SEE?

WE'RE TOUGH GUYS, SEE?

WE DON'T KINGY-WINGY, SEE?

YOUSE GUYS, LISTEN AND LISTEN GOOD, SEE.

I HEAR YOU GOT A KIPPER GOING.

THAT'S "CAPER," PAL.

OH. WELL, I WANT CUT IN ON IT, SEE?

I DO THE SEEING IN THIS PART OF THE SEA, SEE?

'CAUSE THIS SURF IS MY TURF, SEE.

YEAH!

NOW, BACK OFF OR I'LL FILL YOU FULL OF SLUGS.

-OH! -GREAT, BIG, SQUIGGLY SLUGS.

OBVIOUSLY YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT I AM...

CRAB LOUIE.

REALLY?

I THOUGHT YOU'D BE TALLER.

IT'S HIM, BOSS, THE GUY WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.

ISN'T HE GREAT?

WOW! I FINALLY GET TO MEET CRAB LOUIE.

UH, SAY, MAY I BORROW YOUR HAT?

HMM!

I SEE YOU KNOW HOW TO BE TOUGH.

-I CAN USE YOU. -WHAT ABOUT ME?

GUYS LIKE YOU CAN ALWAYS USE A LITTLE MUSSEL.

GET IT, BOSS? A MUSSEL.

I'M A LITTLE MUSSEL. I'M A MUSSEL, SEE?

[WAP]

OVER HERE, YOUSE GUYS.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING I WANT TO TAKE OVER.

[ACCORDION PLAYS]

NOW!

HEY! WHAT ARE YOUSE DOING?

SHRIMP, COME BACK HERE!

TALK ABOUT CHICKEN OF THE SEA.

AND YOU, I GAVE YOU MY BEST AFTERNOON OF MY LIFE.

KEEP AN EYE ON HIM, SEBASTIAN.

OH!

AAH!

HEY, URCHIN, THAT WAS A NEAT TRICK.

GEE, LOBSTER MOBSTER GOT AWAY.

OH YES, A CRIMINAL LIKE THE LOBSTER MOBSTER

IS ALWAYS ON THE RUN.

HE'S DEFINITELY A RUTHLESS CRIMINAL.

OH YES. HOW DO I KNOW THIS?

I KNOW THIS BECAUSE HE STOLE MY HAT!

OH!

-NOW WHAT DO WE DO, BOSS? -WE LAY LOW, SEE?

THE KID AND THAT GOOFY CRAB

PUT ONE OVER ON US GOOD.

I AM CRAB LOUIE.

COME ON. YOU DON'T EXPECT US TO FALL FOR THAT AGAIN?

DROP THE PHONY ACT

BEFORE WE FILL YOU FULL OF SLUGS.

YOU LIKE THAT? SLUGS.

-HOLD ON! -HE IS!

DON'T CRACK US. WE'LL MAKE A DEAL.

I KNOW HOW YOU CAN GET YOUR CLAWS ON A TON OF TREASURE.

ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL JAILBIRDS,

SING.

? YOU CAN STEAL, YOU CAN ROB ?

? SO YOU DON'T NEED A JOB ?

? IN THE LOBSTER MOBSTER MOB ?

JUMP IN ANY TIME, BOSS.

? YOU CAN ACT LIKE A SNOB ?

? YOU CAN EAT LIKE A SLOB ?

AS I ONCE SAID TO THE WARDEN, PARDON ME.

HE'S A KING. WHY WOULD HE WANT TO BOTHER WITH ME?

EXCEPT MAYBE TO TAKE HIS TRIDENT AND FRY MY TAIL.

URCHIN'S BRAVE AND LOYAL.

LOYAL AS YOU ARE ROYAL, YOUR MAJESTY.

AND HE DID SAVE OUR LIVES.

AND I'M LIVING PROOF OF THAT, YOUR MIGHNESS-- I MEAN, YOUR HAJESTY.

BUT HE WAS IN THE COMPANY OF UNSAVORY TYPES.

SEBASTIAN, YOU SAID YOURSELF--

YOUR MAJESTY! YOUR MAJESTY!

A GIGANTIC CRAB IS RIPPING OPEN THE ROYAL TREASURE VAULT!

[LAUGHS] OOH, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU,

WHEN I GET HOME

I'M GONNA BUY THE ENTIRE SWAMP!

HE CAN'T CARRY ALL THE TREASURE, SEE?

WE'LL PICK UP WHAT SLIPS THROUGH HIS CLAWS.

IT'S THAT RAPSCALLION CRAB LOUIE.

I CAN HANDLE HIM.

ARIEL, NO!

ZOW!

YOUR MAJESTY, BLAST THAT MONSTER WITH YOUR TRIDENT.

[TRITON] THEY CAN DO IT WITHOUT MY HELP.

ARRGHH!

SORRY I RUINED YOUR NEPTUNE BALL, YOUR HIGHNESS,

IT WAS ONLY FOOD YOU TOOK, AND...

[LAUGHS]

WELL, IT WAS THE MOST EXCITEMENT WE'VE HAD

AT THE NEPTUNE BALL IN YEARS.

[SEBASTIAN] BUT OF COURSE, YOUR MAJESTY!

WHY, THE BOY WAS JUST LED ASTRAY

BY THAT LOWDOWN, NO-GOOD LOBSTER MOBSTER.

THAT DIRTY RAT.

OW!

CAN YOU REALLY SHOOT LIGHTNING OUT OF THAT?

THAT AND MORE, LAD.

AAH!

IF YOU SWIM WITH SHARKS, YOU'RE A SHARK.

AND THE SAME FOR MOBSTERS.

REMEMBER THAT, YOUNG MERMAN.

GOSH, NOBODY'S EVER CALLED ME A MERMAN BEFORE.

NOW WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO, BOSS?

-US? -YEAH.

WELL, WE'RE GOING TO TAKE OVER SOMETHING ELSE, OF COURSE.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO TAKE OVER, BOSS? HUH? WHAT'S IT GONNA BE?

SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EAT US, I HOPE.

I HOPE IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING OR PLACE, BOSS, OR IT'S GONNA--

-[LOBSTER] AH! -[THUDS]
