[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

[LAUGHING]

[MAN] EASE HER DOWN NOW. EASE HER.

CAREFUL NOW. CAREFUL.

HUMANS!

[MAN] WATCH IT, NOW! IT'S GOING OVER!

THE HARP IS GOING OVER!

[GASP]

OOH! WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S A--

IT'S AMAZING!

IT'S A-- A--

A-- A STRINGAMAJIGGER.

YEAH!

REMEMBER, ARIEL,

CURIOSITY KILLED THE CATFISH.

I DON'T CARE HOW BEAUTIFUL IT IS!

IT'S A HUMAN THING!

AAH!

[LAUGHS]

THAT WAS "C" BELOW THE SEA.

BUT I'M NOT GOING TO TEACH YOU TO PLAY IT, AND THAT'S FINAL!

[HUMPHS] WELL, THEN...

I'LL JUST TEACH MYSELF.

NOW, THE ONLY QUESTION IS

DO YOU PLAY A STRINGAMAJIGGER WITH YOUR HANDS...

OR WITH YOUR TAIL?

OH, IT'S WONDERFUL.

I'LL LEARN TO PLAY IT JUST LIKE A HUMAN.

NOTHING CAN STOP ME.

[TRITON] ARIEL!

[GASPS] COMING, DADDY!

THAT STRINGAMAJIGGER'S GOING TO STRING US ALONG

RIGHT INTO TROUBLE.

HI, DADDY.

ARIEL, I HAVE A BIG SURPRISE FOR YOU.

UHH! I LOVE SURPRISES!

[FANFARE]

ARIEL, I HAVE WAITED ALL YOUR LIFE

FOR THE DAY I COULD BESTOW UPON YOU

THIS SPECIAL GIFT.

[FANFARE]

A SEA CALLIOPE.

IT'S-- UH, WOW--

UNBELIEVABLE.

I KNEW YOU'D LIKE IT.

I'VE ALWAYS WANTED YOU TO PLAY THE SEA CALLIOPE, DEAR.

AND NOW MY DREAM FOR YOU WILL COME TRUE.

BUT, DADDY, I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY THIS.

SEBASTIAN WILL TEACH YOU.

YOU WILL BE THE BEST LITTLE CALLIOPE PLAYER UNDER THE SEA.

COME ON, ARIEL,

LET'S-- LET'S MAKE THE BEST OF THIS.

[CALLIOPE PLAYS OFF-KEY]

I THINK I HEAR MY MOTHER CALLING ME.

YEAH, THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT. BYE, ARIEL.

I WISH I COULD PLAY MY STRINGAMAJIGGER.

[TRITON'S VOICE] ARIEL, I'VE ALWAYS WANTED YOU

TO LEARN THE SEA CALLIOPE, DEAR.

BUT IT MEANS SO MUCH TO DADDY THAT I LEARN TO PLAY THIS.

OH, WELL, SO YOU PLAY A FEW SOUR NOTES ON THE SEA CALLIOPE.

WHAT HARM CAN IT DO?

[CALLIOPE PLAYS OFF-KEY]

[RAHRRR]

OOH OOH! STOP THE MUSIC!

IT'S ENOUGH TO WAKE THE DEAD SEA.

EVEN WORSE! IT'S WAKING THE ANCIENT SEA CLOPS!

OOH! THE SEA CLOPS!

IT'S BUSTING LOOSE!

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE! HE'S BEEN SLEEPING FOR 7 MILLION TIDES.

AND, OOH, IS HE CRANKY WHEN YOU WAKE HIM UP!

[RAHHRR]

[YAWNING]

[SIGH]

[YAWN]

[SNORING]

LET'S CALL IT A DAY.

LET'S CALL ME A DOCTOR.

OH NO, WE ARE NOT STOPPING.

I WANTED TO HEAR HOW YOU'RE PROGRESSING, ARIEL.

OH, UH... SURE, DADDY.

COVER YOUR EARS. [GIGGLE]

[CALLIOPE PLAYS OFF-KEY]

[BOTH LAUGHING]

I GUESS WE CAN ALL SEE

THIS WASN'T SUCH A GOOD IDEA, YOUR MAJESTY.

OF COURSE IT WAS!

MY ARIEL HAS LOTS OF, UH...

POTENTIAL, SEBASTIAN.

INDEED SHE DOES!

OH, MY GRANDFATHER NEPTUNE PLAYED THE SEA CALLIOPE.

[SEA CALLIOPE PLAYS]

I USED TO LISTEN TO HIM WHEN I WAS A CHILD,

HE'D PLAY AT BEDTIME EVERY NIGHT.

I'D STAY WARM BY THE LIGHT OF AN ELECTRIC EEL.

THEN HE WOULD TUCK ME INTO BED.

GOOD NIGHT, GRANDPA NEPTUNE.

GOOD NIGHT, LITTLE TRITON.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO.

NO ONE ELSE IN MY FAMILY EVER PLAYED

THE SEA CALLIOPE... UNTIL NOW.

I'M GLAD IT MAKES YOU HAPPY, DADDY.

OH, IT DOES!

IT DOES!

YOU TWO HAVE FUN NOW.

[GIGGLE] WE WILL, DADDY. DON'T WORRY.

WE'LL HAVE SO MUCH FUN...

YOU'D THINK WE WERE DOING SOMETHING ELSE.

THIS MEANS SO MUCH TO HIM, SEBASTIAN.

I CAN'T DISAPPOINT HIM.

[CALLIOPE PLAYS OFF-KEY]

WHY, SIR--

YES, DUDLEY. GRANDPA NEPTUNE WOULD BE PROUD OF OUR ARIEL.

OH, IS THAT--

IS THAT THE SAME CALLIOPE GRANDPA NEPTUNE USED TO PLAY?

NO, DUDLEY.

ONE DAY, GRANDPA NEPTUNE AND I

WENT TO PLAY HIS SEA CALLIOPE.

WE FOUND IT COMPLETELY DESTROYED,

AS IF RIPPED APART

BY SOME CRAZED MONSTER.

TO THIS DAY, WHO OR WHAT

DESTROYED HIS SEA CALLIOPE

REMAINS A TERRIBLE MYSTERY.

[SEA CALLIOPE PLAYS]

[GROANING AND HOWLING]

[SEA CALLIOPE PLAYS]

YAAAAAH!

FLOUNDER, YOU CAME BACK.

Y-YEAH.

[SILENCE]

AWWW.

[SNORING]

I'VE STUCK BY YOU THROUGH FEROCIOUS MONSTERS

AND AWESOME SEAQUAKES,

BEIN' CHASED BY BLOODTHIRSTY SHARKS

AND HORRIBLE GIANT SQUIDS

AND KILLER OCTOPUSES!

SO I'LL STICK BY YOU WHILE YOU PLAY THE CALLIOPE...

NO MATTER HOW TERRIBLE YOU ARE.

AW, FLOUNDER, YOU'RE THE BEST.

YEAH, AND I BROUGHT EAR PLUGS.

WE MUST GET BACK TO PRACTICING, ARIEL!

FLOUNDER...

GOT ANY EXTRA EAR PLUGS, MON?

OH, I WANT TO MAKE DADDY HAPPY,

BUT I ALSO WANT TO PLAY MY STRINGAMAJIGGER.

SO, YOU CAN HOP UP AND DOWN ON THE KEYS A WHILE.

DADDY WILL THINK I'M STILL PRACTICING.

NO, ARIEL. ABSOTIVELY, POSITUTELY NOT!

YOU WON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME PLAY FOR A WHILE.

-YEAH! -WELL, GOOD POINT.

I'LL DO IT.

THANKS, SEBASTIAN. BYE.

-YEAH, BYE. -BYE.

FLOUNDER! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

JUST BECAUSE I LISTEN TO ARIEL

DOESN'T MEAN I'M GONNA LISTEN TO YOU.

[MUTTERING]

HMM!

[HUMMING]

[HUMMING CONTINUES]

[GROANING AND GRUMBLING]

SORRY WE LOST YOUR HARP, MR. MOZART,

BUT WE'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR PIANO.

OOPS.

[SEBASTIAN STILL HUMMING]

WELL, WE MAY HAVE LOST

YOUR HARP AND YOUR PIANO, MR. MOZART,

BUT WE'LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR BATHTUB.

OOPS.

[STILL HUMMING]

WHA?

AAH!

[GASP]

AH, YOUR MAJESTY.

I WAS ONLY--

WHERE IS SHE?

I WAS JUST-- I WAS MERELY--

I WAS SIMPLY--

ARIEL!

THE KING AND I ARE COMING TO SEE YOU!

-UH-OH! -UH-OH!

[SEBASTIAN] THE KING IS SO HAPPY YOU ALWAYS DO

WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO

AND NOT WHAT HE TELLS YOU NOT TO DO.

[RAAAAHHHRR]

LOOK, MR. MOZART, A SHOOTING STAR.

[RAAAHHRR]

OW.

FLOUNDER, I HAVE TO TELL DADDY THE TRUTH.

SURE. HE'LL UNDERSTAND. HEH HEH.

HI, DADDY.

ARIEL, WHY AREN'T YOU PRACTICING THE CALLIOPE?

TO TELL THE TRUTH, IT'S BECAUSE I--

-I... -YES?

I... [GULP]

NEEDED A LITTLE BREAK.

[LAUGHS] DON'T WANT TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING, HUH?

YOU REALLY LOVE OUR CALLIOPE, DON'T YOU, DEAR?

AH. WELL, UH...

WORDS CAN'T EXPRESS HOW I FEEL ABOUT OUR, UH--

OUR CALLIOPE, DADDY.

THEN YOU SHOULD POSITIVELY BUBBLE OVER

ABOUT MY GOOD NEWS. HA HA.

I AM SO CONFIDENT OF YOUR TALENT, ARIEL.

I'VE SCHEDULED A CALLIOPE RECITAL FOR YOU TONIGHT

IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE COURT.

OH-HO... GREAT.

THIS IS SO EXCITING. I JUST LOVE IT.

I'M VERY PROUD OF YOU FOR PLAYING THE SEA CALLIOPE, DEAR.

IT MEANS SO MUCH TO ME. [LAUGHS]

OH, LOOK...

I GOT YOU A LITTLE PRESENT.

IT'S A CALLIOPE NECKLACE.

I HAD IT MADE SPECIALLY FOR YOU TO WEAR TONIGHT.

[GASP]

YOU'RE THE GREATEST, DADDY.

[FANFARE]

PRESENTING PRINCESS ARIEL!

AND HER AMAZING SEA CALLIOPE!

THIS IS GONNA BE SO EMBARRASSING.

I HAVE AN IDEA. IT'S NOT A GREAT IDEA.

I'LL JUST RUN IT UP THE RIVER AND SEE IF IT FLOATS, MON.

FIRST I'D LIKE TO DO A LITTLE SONG AND DANCE.

EVERYBODY READY? ALL RIGHT.

? EVERYBODY CHA CHA CHA ?

? CHA CHA CHA ALL NIGHT LONG ?

? OUT INTO THE SEA WE GO ?

? YOU FOLLOW ME ALL THE WAY HOME ?

? GET OUTTA HERE, GO ON NOW ?

? GET OUTTA HERE, GO ON NOW ?

? GET OUTTA HERE, GO ON NOW ?

? GET OUTTA HERE, GO ON NOW ?

? GET OUTTA HERE, GO ON NOW ?

? GET OUTTA HERE, GO ON NOW ?

? GET OUTTA HERE, GO ON-- ?

SEBASTIAN!

WELL, IT WAS WORTH A TRY.

[CALLIOPE PLAYS OFF-KEY]

[RAAAHHHRR]

[RAAAHHRR]

IT'S THE ANCIENT SEA CLOPS.

YAAAH!

[SCREAMING]

I THOUGHT THE SEA CLOPS WAS SUPPOSED TO SLEEP 1,000 YEARS!

THAT'S WHY HE'S SO UPSET!

YOU WOKE HIM UP 600 YEARS EARLY!

GET CLEAR, ARIEL!

[GASP]

YAAAH!

[GROWLING]

HE'S GOT HIS EYE ON YOU, ARIEL.

I DON'T THINK HE LIKES THE SEA CALLIOPE.

WHATEVER GAVE YOU THAT IDEA?

UH-OH.

IT'S ALMOST AS IF HE KNOWS IT'S MY FAULT.

OH, I WISH HE'D GO BACK TO SLEEP. KNOW ANY GOOD LULLABIES?

THIS IS NO TIME FOR JOKES.

IT'S NO JOKE, SEBASTIAN. THAT'S A GREAT IDEA.

IT IS?

[GASP]

HE HATES THE CALLIOPE,

BUT MAYBE THE RIGHT KIND OF MUSIC COULD PUT HIM BACK TO SLEEP.

YEAH!

HA! MY MUSIC CAN PUT ANYONE

OR ANYTHING TO SLEEP!

WATCH THIS!

[RAHR]

HUH?

[PLAYING JAZZ]

? ?

? ?

[TING]

COME ON. I HAVE AN IDEA.

YAAAH!

-[GASP] -[GASP]

[SOOTHING MUSIC]

HUH?

AWWWW...

DON'T HURT HIM, DADDY!

I THINK HE'S GETTING TIRED.

WE MUSTN'T TAKE ANY CHANCES.

I'LL PUT HIM TO BED IN THE MOUNTAINS.

SHH.

HAVE A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.

HAVE 5 OR 6,000 GOOD NIGHTS' SLEEP WHILE YOU'RE AT IT.

IT'S JUST TERRIBLE.

OUR SEA CALLIOPE IS RUINED,

JUST LIKE GRANDPA NEPTUNE'S.

I'M BEGINNING TO SEE A TREND HERE.

I'LL GET YOU ANOTHER ONE.

DADDY, I'VE GOTTA TELL YOU. I...

I LIKE THE SEA CALLIOPE...

EVEN LESS THAN THE SEA CLOPS LIKES IT.

[GULP]

ARIEL, WHY DIDN'T YOU SPEAK UP IN THE FIRST PLACE?

SHE DIDN'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT YOU, SIRE.

OHH, ARIEL, YOU'LL ALWAYS BE MY SHINING PEARL

NO MATTER WHAT.

DESPITE WHAT I OR ANYONE ELSE WANTS FOR YOU,

YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY NO.

WELL... I MEAN,

NO, THANK YOU, OF COURSE.

STILL IT'S TOO BAD

NO ONE IN OUR FAMILY WANTS TO PLAY THE SEA CALLIOPE.

OH, I THINK I KNOW SOMEBODY WHO DOES.

REALLY? WHO?

[SEA CALLIOPE PLAYS]

HA HA HA!

YOU ARE DOING VERY WELL, YOUR MAJESTY. VERY WELL.

I LIKE THIS NEW, QUIETER MODEL, DON'T YOU?

GRANDPA NEPTUNE WOULD BE SO PROUD.
