[THEME SONG PLAYING]

HI, DADDY.

WANNA GO FOR A SWIM?

I'D LOVE TO, ARIEL, BUT I HAVE A HAIRCUT SCHEDULED,

THEN I'M MEETING SOME IMPORTANT FISH HEADS OF STATE,

NOT TO MENTION, I'VE PROMISED TO REFEREE

THE OCTOPUS ARM-WRESTLING MATCH.

IT'LL TAKE MOST OF THE MORNING

JUST TO FINISH SHAKING HANDS.

IT'S ALL RIGHT, FATHER.

I'LL GET FLOUNDER TO GO WITH ME.

[TRITON] HAVE FUN!

DON'T STRAY TOO FAR.

[FLOUNDER] GOSH! HUMANS DON'T HAVE A BOTTOM HALF!

OF COURSE THEY DO, SILLY!

HER TAIL IS, UH, SOMEWHERE DOWN HERE...

I THINK.

[ARIEL] FLOUNDER, LOOK AT THIS!

HUMANS MUST USE THIS TO LOOK AT THEMSELVES.

WHY WOULD THEY WANNA DO THAT?

AAH!

HA HA HA HA!

BLAH!

HA HA HA HA HA!

[ARIEL] SEE?

IT MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK BIGGER.

WOW!

WHAT DO YOU CALL THIS THINGAMAJIGGER?

UH... I CALL IT A...

BIGGERMAJIGGER.

-AAH! -WAAH!

[ARIEL LAUGHS]

YOU TWO ARE AFRAID OF YOUR SHADOWS!

HMPH!

I AIN'T AFRAID OF NO SHADOW.

AAH!

ARIEL, WHAT IS THAT YOU'RE HIDING?

-NOTHING, DADDY. -[GASPS]

[SIGHS] JUST A...

BIGGERMAJIGGER.

UH...SEE?

WHAT I SEE IS A HUMAN OBJECT.

ARIEL, I'VE TOLD YOU NOT TO PLAY WITH HUMAN THINGS!

AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH?

BUT DADDY, IT'S GOOD FOR SOMETHING.

WE COULD USE IT TO SEE LITTLE THINGS AND TO FIND--

NONE OF YOUR EXCUSES, ARIEL.

YOU GIVE IT TO ME IMMEDIATELY!

IF YOU EVER BRING ANOTHER HUMAN THING INTO THIS PALACE,

I'LL-- I'LL...

NO!

UH, BYE, YOUR MAJESTY.

I'VE DONE IT AGAIN.

YES, YOUR MAJESTY.

I MEAN, WELL DONE, YOUR MAJESTY.

OOH! HE MAKES ME SO ANGRY!

OH, DON'T BE MAD.

WELL, I AM!

HE DIDN'T EVEN LET ME EXPLAIN.

ARIEL, DON'T GO DOWN THERE!

UGH, DON'T DO THIS, DON'T DO THAT!

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, MY FATHER?

GEE, SOMEDAY I MIGHT BE A FATHER.

I MIGHT EVEN HAVE A DAUGHTER LIKE--NO!

IT'S TOO SCARY! WAY TOO SCARY!

ARIEL, I DON'T WANT TO TELL YOU WHAT TO DO,

BUT COME BACK!

[TRITON] WHY DOES SHE MAKE ME SO ANGRY?

WELL, YOUR MAJESTY, YOU ALWAYS GET A LITTLE CRANKY

ON THE DAY YOU HAVE TO GET A HAIRCUT.

DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

I TRY NOT TO, YOUR MAJESTY,

BUT SOMEHOW IT JUST COMES OUT.

I HAVE TO BE FIRM, SEBASTIAN.

HUMAN THINGS WILL BE OUR RUIN.

WHY WON'T SHE LEAVE THEM ALONE?

WHY WON'T SHE LISTEN TO ME?

WELL, SHE CAN'T HELP IT, YOUR MAJESTY.

SHE'S JUST STUBBORN.

RUNS IN THE FAMILY.

OHH...

NEVERTHELESS, I WAS UNDULY HARSH.

I LOST MY TEMPER AGAIN.

BUT A VERY SPECTACULAR LOSS OF TEMPER IT WAS, SIRE.

I'D BETTER APOLOGIZE JUST AS SOON AS SHE GETS HOME.

THAT WOULD BE NICE.

ASSUMING, OF COURSE, THAT...

I EVER GET OUT OF THIS CHAIR!

IF ONLY HE WEREN'T SO STUBBORN ABOUT THINGS FROM UP THERE.

I'M MORE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT'S DOWN THERE.

[FLOUNDER] THEY SAY THERE'S NO BOTTOM TO THE GREAT ABYSS.

HEY, I WONDER WHAT THAT IS.

WHAT?

UH, NOTHING. IT WAS NOTHING.

COME ON, FLOUNDER, LET ME SEE.

THERE!

[ARIEL] I SEE IT!

OH, ME AND MY BIG MOUTH!

OHH...

IT'S COLD DOWN HERE.

I KNOW IT'S HERE SOMEWHERE-- [GASPS]

OHH...

OH, FLOUNDER...

IT'S BEAUTIFUL!

I DON'T THINK YOUR FATHER WOULD AGREE.

[ARIEL] OH, LOOK!

THIS MUST BE A-- A HUMAN GIRL,

AND THIS MUST BE A HUMAN BOY.

HE'S, UH, NOT VERY HANDSOME,

BUT HE LOOKS LIKE HE HAS A NICE... PERSONALITY.

IF YOUR FATHER CATCHES YOU WITH THIS THING--

OH, FLOUNDER, STOP ACTING LIKE A LITTLE SARDINE!

WHO'S ACTING?

IT MUST BE SOME SORT OF DECORATION.

I WONDER HOW HUMANS WEAR IT.

LOOK! I MADE IT STAY!

THE HUMAN GIRL IS...

SO BEAUTIFUL.

YEAH. LOOK HOW LONG HER FINS ARE,

BUT SHE DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A TAIL.

OH, THAT'S PROBABLY WHY SHE'S SWIMMING SO FUNNY.

? YA DA TA DA ?

? YA DA TA DA ?

? YA DA TA DA YA ?

I WANT TO SEE WHAT I LOOK LIKE WITH IT ON!

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

ARIEL!

[ARIEL HUMMING]

UH, IT'S GETTING LATE, ARIEL. WE SHOULD START BACK.

OH, LOOK HOW IT GLISTENS!

OH, I WISH I COULD WEAR IT ALWAYS.

ARIEL!

[SIGHS] ALL RIGHT, FLOUNDER.

YOU WIN.

OH, NO!

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

IT WON'T COME OFF!

THE KING WOULD KNOW HOW TO GET IT OFF.

HE'LL JUST BZZZOWIE!

BLAST IT OFF WITH HIS TRIDENT!

FLOUNDER, I CAN'T LET DADDY SEE THIS!

OH, YOU'RE RIGHT. HE'LL GO,

"ARIEL!"

[ECHOING]

OHH!

DADDY SAID IF I EVER BRING ANOTHER HUMAN THING INTO THE PALACE, HE'LL-- HE'LL--

OH, WHO KNOWS WHAT?

BUT IF YOU EXPLAIN IT WAS AN ACCIDENT--

UH, SORT OF. KINDA.

DADDY WON'T LISTEN.

OH, FLOUNDER, WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

I--I CAN'T GO HOME.

WE CAN'T JUST STAY OUT HERE ALL NIGHT, ARIEL.

IT'S GETTING COLD.

OH, FLOUNDER, YOU'RE A FISH!

YOU'RE ALWAYS THE SAME TEMPERATURE.

[GRUNTING]

I NEED THAT OTHER PIECE

THE ONE THAT GOT STUCK DOWN IN THE ABYSS!

BAD IDEA, ARIEL.

ARIEL!

[TRITON] ARIEL, I'M SORRY I DESTROYED THAT BIGGAMAJIGGER YOU FOUND,

BUT HUMAN THINGS ARE DANGEROUS,

AND AS YOUR FATHER, I KNOW WHAT'S BEST.

THEREFORE, I FORBID YOU TO, UH...

HMM...

NOT A VERY GOOD APOLOGY, WAS IT, SEBASTIAN?

MMM, WELL, IT STARTED OUT GRAND, YOUR MAJESTY,

BUT THE SPEECH QUICKLY WENT

RIGHT DOWN THE OLD BLOW HOLE.

YES. YES, YOU'RE RIGHT.

I NEED MORE... PRACTICE.

WELL, YOUR MAJESTY, IF I MAY BE SO BOLD,

AN APOLOGY IS NOT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD PRACTICE.

IT SHOULD COME RIGHT FROM THE HEART.

IN CRUSTACEANS, I BELIEVE IT'S MORE LIKE SOMEWHERE IN THERE.

I THINK I UNDERSTAND.

I SHOULD JUST SAY WHAT I FEEL.

[TRITON] TELL ARIEL THAT I LOVE HER VERY MUCH

AND I ONLY YELL AT HER FOR HER OWN GOOD,

BUT THAT SHE IS SO STUBBORN

AND HUMAN THINGS ARE SO DANGEROUS I MUST INSIST...

UH... HA HA!

UH...

MAYBE HIS MAJESTY HAD BETTER WRITE IT DOWN.

THEN WE'LL REWRITE IT A FEW TIMES.

THEN WE CAN PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE

UNTIL ARIEL COMES HOME.

DON'T WORRY, YOUR MAJESTY.

IT'S GOING TO BE PERFECT!

[FLOUNDER] WE'LL NEVER SEE IT IN THE DARK.

I KNOW JUST WHERE IT IS... I THINK.

[GASPS]

IT'S CREEPY DOWN THERE,

BUT IT'S THE ONLY WAY.

STAY HERE.

[GASP]

BRRR!

OH!

[ARIEL] THERE IT IS!

HUH?

ARIEL!

FLOUNDER!

GET HELP!

OHH!

AAH!

DADDY!

WHAT HAVE YOU GOTTEN ME INTO,

MY BEAUTIFUL, TROUBLESOME TRINKET?

COULD'VE BEEN MUCH WORSE.

-[RUMBLING] -[GASPS]

WHAT WAS THAT?

[MAN] FEEDING TIME.

WHAT?

NOT VERY BRIGHT ARE YOU? [LAUGHS]

GET IT? HOW'D YOU LIKE OUR FLOW MONSTER?

PRETTY SPECTACULAR, WASN'T IT?

IT WAS HORRIBLE.

I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE.

OH, YOU'LL NEVER GET OUT OF HERE.

YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY SWIM FAST ENOUGH TO REACH THE OPENING...

BETWEEN FEEDINGS. HEH HEH HEH!

BUT YOU CAN LIVE IN A CAVE. GOOD LUCK.

I'M GOING TO GO WATCH THE FLOW MONSTER SOME MORE.

[GASPS]

THERE MUST BE A WAY OUT.

[GASPS]

PSST! WHAT'S THE MATTER, DEAR?

LOST AND ALONE?

AM I EVER.

CAN YOU HELP ME FIND MY WAY HOME?

LOOK IN MY SACK.

MAYBE THERE'S A WAY HOME IN HERE!

[GASPS]

UH, HELLO THERE.

CAN YOU HELP ME?

OHH.

SHE'S ALONE.

WHAT'S YOUR RUSH?

STAY WITH US.

OHH!

COME CLOSER.

CLOSER.

CLOSER.

HEH HEH HEH HEH!

THIS PLACE IS SO TERRIBLE.

I DIDN'T GO HOME BECAUSE OF YOU.

AND NOW I'LL NEVER GO HOME AGAIN.

[SOBBING]

WHERE IS THAT GIRL?

IT'S NOT LIKE HER TO STAY OUT THIS LATE.

OH, YOUR MAJESTY, THAT'S THE TENTH TIME YOU'VE SAID THAT.

DON'T WORRY.

AND THAT'S THE TENTH TIME YOU'VE SAID DON'T WORRY.

IT'S TIME WE WENT LOOKING FOR--

[FLOUNDER] ARIEL! IT'S ARIEL!

ARIEL AND I WERE SWIMMING OVER THE GREAT ABYSS

WHEN I WENT, "WHAT'S THAT?" AND SHE SAID, "WHAT?"

AND I SAID, "OH, NOTHING." AND THEN SHE WENT

WHOOSH DOWN TO GET IT.

THEN IT GOT STUCK ON HER ARM, AND THEN SHE WENT BACK.

AND THEN THIS BIG WHIRLPOOL WENT SWOOSH!

THEN ARIEL WENT, "HELP!"

I THINK YOU CAN WORRY NOW, YOUR MAJESTY.

TAKE ME THERE AS FAST AS YOU CAN.

I'M GOING, TOO!

I WAS ABOUT HERE.

AND ARIEL?

DOWN BY THOSE ROCKS.

DON'T GO DOWN THERE!

THERE'S A BIG HORRIBLE... WHIRLPOOL.

ARIEL!

ARIEL!

[ECHOING]

[RUMBLING]

IT'S THE WHIRLPOOL THAT GO ARIEL.

-I'M GOING IN. -ME, TOO.

DON'T I GET A VOTE?

AAH!

[ALL GASP]

GET TO THE RIM--HURRY!

THAT FLASH-- IT WAS DADDY'S TRIDENT.

I JUST KNOW IT.

[BOTH GASP]

DADDY!

DADDY!

ARIEL, MY ARIEL.

[BOTH] SHE'S SAFE! SHE'S SAFE!

I WAS SO WORRIED, ARIEL.

WHY DIDN'T YOU COME HOME

BEFORE YOU GOT INTO ALL THIS?

ARIEL, I TOLD YOU...

HE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES!

I CAN EXPLAIN.

NO EXCUSES, YOUNG LADY.

HE TOLD HER THAT A THOUSAND TIMES, TOO.

I KNEW YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN. YOU NEVER LISTENED.

THAT'S WHY I WAS AFRAID TO COME HOME.

HATE TO TELL YOU, BUT NONE OF YOU ARE GOING HOME.

YOU CAN'T GET PAST THE FLOW MONSTER.

YOU'RE ALL STUCK DOWN HERE FOREVER.

GO HOME, YOUNG FELLOW. YOUR FAMILY WILL BE WORRIED.

HOLD TIGHT, DEAR.

HEY, YOU'LL NEVER MAKE IT!

HOLD ON! HOLD ON!

WAIT!

ARIEL, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I NEED THE OTHER PART TO GET THIS THING OFF MY ARM.

[RUMBLING]

[GASP] THE FLOW MONSTER IS FEEDING AGAIN!

ARIEL, GET OUT OF THERE.

IT'S PRETTY, BUT I DON'T WANT TO WEAR IT THE REST OF MY LIFE.

HURRY, ARIEL, HURRY!

HOORAY!

YES! WE DID IT! WE DID IT!

I MEAN, OF COURSE, YOU DID IT, YOUR MAJESTY.

THAT WAS GREAT, DADDY.

I DON'T FEEL SO GREAT, ARIEL.

I FEEL I'VE LET YOU DOWN.

NOT YOU, YOUR MAJESTY.

I'VE MADE YOU AFRAID

TO COME TO ME WITH YOUR PROBLEMS.

FROM NOW ON, I PROMISE TO LISTEN.

I'D-- I'D REALLY LIKE THAT, DADDY.

SO NO MATTER WHAT TROUBLE YOU'RE IN,

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

YOU CAN ALWAYS COME HOME.
