HE'S HERE!

IT'S THE SNAILMAN.

[GASP]

[GASPS]

A LETTER FOR ME?

FROM...

FLOUNDER?

MM-HMM.

[GIGGLING]

BUT, FLOUNDER, YOU SEE ME EVERY DAY.

I KNOW, BUT IF I WRITE YOU A LETTER,

THEN MAYBE YOU'LL WRITE ME A LETTER.

I LIKE GETTING LETTERS,

DON'T YOU?

YES, I DO.

THANKS.

[CLEARS THROAT]

"AND, I DON'T LIKE TO BRAG,

"BUT I AM IN CHARGE OF EVERYTHING AROUND HERE.

"I TELL EVERYBODY WHAT TO DO.

THE KINGDOM CAN'T STAY AFLOAT WITHOUT ME."

ET CETERA, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

"YOUR LOVING SON, SEBASTIAN."

[SLURP SLURP]

HEE HEE!

"DEAR SEBASTIAN,

"WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU FOR BEING IN CHARGE,

"FOR TELLING EVERYBODY WHAT TO DO.

THE KINGDOM CAN'T STAY AFLOAT WITH OUT YOU."

ET CETERA, ET CETERA, ET CETERA.

"LOVE, PAPA AND MAMA."

MMM.

AHH, MON, THEY KNOW ME SO WELL.

"P.S. WE ARE COMING TO VISIT YOU.

WE'LL BE ARRIVING IN SIX MONTHS."

HELLO, MOTHER. HELLO, FATHER.

AAH!

MOTHER...FATHER.

I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T COMING FOR SIX MONTHS.

OOH, WE SENT THAT LETTER SIX MONTHS AGO, CHILD.

THE SNAILMAN IS SO SLOW.

OH, COME GIVE MAMA THE BIG CRUSTACEAN HUG, EH?

COME ON, LET'S HUG.

COME ON, LET'S HUG.

COME ON, LET'S HUG.

YAY!

KISSES!

MMM! MMM! MMM! MMM!

I LOVE YOU, MOM AND DAD.

HA HA HA!

COOL PEN, YOUR MAJESTY, SIR.

THANK YOU, FLOUNDER.

[URCHIN] HEY, FLOUNDER.

THANKS FOR THE LETTER.

OH, YOU'RE WELCOME, URCHIN.

ANSWER IT SOON.

WELL, I HAVE AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT SIGNING

IN ANOTHER PART OF THE OCEAN.

I'LL BE BACK TOMORROW.

HAVE A GOOD TRIP, DADDY.

GOOD LUCK, YOUR MAJESTY.

DROP US A LETTER IF YOU GET THE CHANCE.

HEY, EVERYBODY.

I'D LIKE YOU TO MEET MY MOM AND DAD, MR. AND MRS. CRAB.

THESE ARE MY FRIENDS--

FLOUNDER...

HI. OW.

URCHIN...

OHH! EESH!

AND ARIEL.

OHH!

SO NICE TO MEET YOU.

HOO HOO.

DAD LIKES THE FIRM CLAWSHAKE.

MUMMY AND DADDY ARE JUST HERE FOR TODAY.

YOU SEE, I--

[SEBASTIAN] I'VE BEEN SHOWING THEM AROUND THE PALACE...

WHERE I DO ALL OF MY IMPORTANT WORK.

HEE HEE.

YOU MUST BE VERY PROUD OF SEBASTIAN.

OH, YES!

TO THINK OUR LITTLE BABY IS KING OF ATLANTICA.

AHH!

SEBASTIAN?

KING?

HUH?

IT AMAZES US, TOO.

[GRUNTING]

IS THAT YOUR THRONE, SON?

HEH HEH.

UH, COULD I TALK TO YOU GUYS?

I NEED TO GIVE YOU A FEW ROYAL ORDERS.

SOMEHOW, THEY THINK I'M THE KING.

THEY MUST HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD MY EXTREMELY MODEST LETTERS.

HOO HOO HOO HOO!

[SEBASTIAN] LOOK HOW HAPPY THEY ARE.

[CRYING]

THEY ALWAYS TOOK SUCH GOOD CARE OF ME

WHEN I WAS A BABY CRABBIE.

ALL THEY EVER WANTED IN RETURN

WAS TO BE PROUD OF ME.

[SOBBING]

NOW I HAVE TO TELL THEM

I AM NOT REALLY THE KING.

GOOD LUCK, SEBASTIAN.

[TEETH CHATTERING]

MOTHER, FATHER.

I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.

IT'S KIND OF FUNNY, ACTUALLY.

HEE HEE.

WELL, NOT REALLY.

[TAKES DEEP BREATH]

I--

WELL, ENOUGH FAMILY TALK.

BETTER GET TO WORK, KING SEBASTIAN.

UH, HERE'S YOUR CROWN, SIRE.

AND HERE'S YOUR ROYAL TRIDENT.

THANK YOU.

AND I DO MEAN THANK YOU.

AH, SO, URCHIN,

WHAT'S ON THE ROYAL AGENDA FOR TODAY?

WHY, I BELIEVE HIS GREAT CRUSTACEAN MAJESTY

IS INSPECTING THE OUTER REGIONS.

OHH! GOOD, SON!

HO HO HO!

AND I CAN'T WAIT TO RIDE IN THE ROYAL CHARIOT.

OH! THEY ARE SO PROUD OF HIM.

YEAH, YOU GUYS WERE GREAT.

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?

[BELLS RING]

SEBASTIAN'S PARENTS ARE REALLY HAVING FUN.

YEAH. WISH WE COULD SAY THE SAME FOR FLOUNDER.

WHOA!

STOP HERE, ROYAL CHARIOT PULLER.

PBBBLL!

THIS IS THE EDGE OF MY DOMAIN.

A PEACEFUL, UNTROUBLED,

AND I MIGHT ADD, WELL-RUN KINGDOM.

HOPE WE GET TO SEE YOU BLAST SOMETHING WITH YOUR TRIDENT,

YOUR MAJESTY.

I MOST CERTAINLY WILL, DAD.

[SEBASTIAN] ESPECIALLY IF ANY OF THOSE NASTY SHARKANIANS

STICK THEIR BIG, UGLY NOSES AROUND HERE.

YOUR MAJESTY?

HEY, THAT'S NOT KING TRITON.

SOMEHOW, THAT STUPID LITTLE CRAB HAS TAKEN OVER ATLANTICA.

EMPEROR SHAGA WILL WANT TO KNOW OF THIS.

HAH! SO...

THAT DIMWITTED CRAB HAS TAKEN OVER ATLANTICA, HUH?

WHAT DO YOU THINK, EMPEROR SHAGA? HMM?

I BELIEVE THIS TO BE AN OPPORTUNITY

OF WHICH WE MUST TAKE ADVANTAGE.

OHH! GREAT GRAMMAR, YOUR EXCELLENCY.

THANK YOU.

THE TIME HAS COME FOR US TO EMPLOY OUR, UH...

SECRET WEAPON.

SECRET WEAPON?

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US ABOUT THIS SECRET WEAPON?

IF WE HAD...

IT WOULDN'T BE A SECRET!

HA HA HA HA!

AH, YES.

THE LEGENDARY...

MAGIC LUMP.

ALL YOU GOTTA DO IS RUB IT, AND-- HA HA HA!

YOU GET ANY WISH YOU WANT. HA!

RIGHT, EMPEROR SHAGA?

WRONG LEGEND, COMMANDER SHABALA.

YOU DON'T RUB THE MAGIC LUMP.

YOU SMASH IT!

GIVE ME THE POWER TO DESTROY ATLANTICA.

THANK YOU FOR WISHING FOR...

A MONSTER.

YOU'LL DO NICELY,

OR SHOULD I SAY,

YOU'LL DO NOT SO NICELY?

[GRRR]

RRARRH!

I AM AT YOUR COMMAND, LORD SHAGA.

GOOD.

RETURN TO THE MAGIC LUMP.

BUT, I--I--

I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DESTROY ATLANTICA.

YEAH. WHAT GIVES, HUH?

YEAH.

OH, WE'LL DESTROY ATLANTICA,

BUT I WANT OUR MONSTER FRIEND HERE

TO BE A, UH...

SURPRISE.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

[LAUGHING]

[LAUGHING]

[ALL LAUGHING]

HA! HOO HOO! HA HA!

TO ATLANTICA!

[LAUGHING]

I CAN'T THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH

FOR HELPING ME PRETEND TO BE THE KING.

OF COURSE, I AM A NATURAL FOR THE ROLE.

AND MY PARENTS ARE ENJOYING IT SO MUCH, MON.

I THINK YOU'RE ENJOYING IT MORE THAN YOUR PARENTS ARE.

DON'T WORRY, FLOUNDER, IT'S HIGH TIDE.

MY PARENTS WILL BE LEAVING SOONER THAN YOU CAN SAY,

"GOODBYE, MAMA. GOODBYE, PAPA."

GOOD.

WHOO! WE DID IT.

WE'RE LUCKY SEBASTIAN'S PARENTS ARE LEAVING

BEFORE THE REAL KING COMES BACK.

OH, YES, MON!

HE'D HAVE FRIED OUR LITTLE TAILS,

ESPECIALLY MINE. HA HA HA!

YOU SURE HAVE LOTS OF ROOM HERE, SON.

WHO THAT, CHILD?

HMM?

HEE HEE HOO HOO!

WHO KNOWS?

[GASP]

HMM.

SO, HAVING FUN, MOTHER?

WE'RE HAVING SO MUCH FUN,

WE DECIDED TO STAY FOREVER.

[GASPS]

COME, HONEY. LET'S GO BRAG ABOUT OUR SON

TO ANYONE WHO WILL LISTEN.

HA HA!

THEY AREN'T LEAVING.

THEY'RE STAYING FOREVER.

AAH!

WHAT WILL WE DO WHEN THE KING COMES BACK?

A-AHEM!

"HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

THE KING WILL BE AWAY LONGER THAN EXPECTED."

OH, WAITER.

[SEBASTIAN] YES.

SOME MORE PLANKTON PAT��, PLEASE.

YES, YOUR HIGHNESS.

HMM. OOH,

AND SOME OF THOSE TEENY TINY CUPCAKES

WITH THE LITTLE SEAWEED CANDIES ON THE TOP.

I LOVE THOSE.

GRR, YES, YOUR MAJESTY.

UH, YOUR HIGHNESS.

WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING...

BEFORE DADDY...

GETS HOME.

YOU ARE RIGHT, SERVING GIRL.

[GULP]

I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE.

I WANT TO SEE MORE BOWING AROUND HERE.

AND, I AM OFFICIALLY REPLACING "YOUR HIGHNESS"

WITH THE MORE POLITICALLY CORRECT

"GRAND HIGH CRAB GUY."

[SIGH]

O ROYAL SUBJECTS,

AND OF COURSE MUMSY AND DADSY,

I WOULD LIKE TO ANNOUNCE...

NOT ANOTHER ANNOUNCEMENT.

THE BUILDING OF THE ROYAL PYRAMID.

[BOTH GASP]

I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF "KING" SEBASTIAN.

ME, TOO.

WE ALSO HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE.

-[SIGH] -[SIGH]

WE DECIDED TO GO HOME.

SO WE CAN TELL ALL OUR FRIENDS ABOUT SEBASTIAN.

ALL RIGHT!

THAT'S FANTASTIC!

GREAT!

[ALL CHEERING]

WE'RE EXCITED, TOO.

NOT AS EXCITED AS YOU ARE,

BUT FAIRLY EXCITED.

WE HAVE JUST ONE MORE REQUEST.

ANYTHING.

WE'D LIKE TO SEE OUR SON THE KING...

GIVE A STATE OF THE KINGDOM SPEECH

TO THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF ATLANTICA.

[BOTH] SOON AS WE'VE HAD OUR NAP.

[GASP]

COME ON, YOU GUYS. SO I'M THE KING

FOR A WHILE LONGER.

WHAT HARM CAN IT DO?

[CROWD MURMURING]

WELL, I KNOW IT'S A LOT TO ASK,

BUT WE'D CONSIDER IT A GREAT FAVOR

IF YOU ALL WOULD PRETEND

SEBASTIAN IS KING OF ATLANTICA.

OH, JUST UNTIL HIS PARENTS LEAVE.

OH, THAT'S SWEET,

MAKING SEBASTIAN'S PARENTS PROUD OF HIM.

YEAH. IT'LL BE FUN.

[CHEERING]

[PLAYING FANFARE]

[CROWD CHEERING]

PRESENTING...

THE STATE OF THE KINGDOM SPEECH BY--

[CLEARS THROAT]

THE GRAND HIGH CRAB GUY.

[CHEERING]

LONG LIVE SEBASTIAN!

THE GRAND HIGH CRAB GUY!

AH HA HA!

THANK YOU, MY LOYAL LITTLE SUBJECTS.

I'VE CALLED YOU HERE

TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE STATE OF ATLANTICA.

BUT FIRST,

I'M GOING TO PUT UP BIG PICTURES OF MYSELF ALL OVER THE PLACE.

[CHEERING]

LONG LIVE THE GRAND HIGH...

THOSE PICTURES OUGHT TO KEEP OUR ENEMIES AWAY.

SHARKANIANS?

WHOO. YOU GUYS.

FANTASTIC.

HOW DID YOU GET A SHARKANIAN TO GO ALONG WITH THIS WHOLE THING?

SEBASTIAN.

WELL, WELL, WELL.

A BIG MAN SHARKANIAN DARES TO FACE

THE GREAT KING SEBASTIAN--

MUMMY, DADDY, PAY ATTENTION.

AHEM.

SO, WHERE IS YOUR CHUBBY LITTLE EMPEROR, HMM?

RIGHT HERE!

[LAUGHS]

[CROWD MURMURS]

EMPEROR SHAGA.

YOU IN ON THIS, TOO?

[LAUGHS]

AHEM.

DON'T MESS WITH KING SEBASTIAN,

YOU NASTY OLD SHARKANIAN.

YOU BETTER GET OUT OF HERE.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

SEBASTIAN, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?

WELL, I FORGOT MY TRIDENT WAS REALLY ONLY AN INK PEN.

THAT'S WHAT I DONE-- UH, DID.

RELEASE THE MONSTER

OF DESTRUCTION.

[GASP]

AAH!

[SCREAMING]

RRARRH!

RRARRH!

WHEN ONE DESTROYS A KINGDOM,

ONE SHOULD START WITH...

NEPTUNE!

YOU WILL BE SORRY

IF YOU GO AFTER THE KING, I'LL TELL YOU.

WAIT A MOMENT.

I'LL BE THE ONE WHO'S GONNA BE SORRY,

'CAUSE-- 'CAUSE-- 'CAUSE.

'CAUSE YOU'RE THE KING, DEAR.

AAH!

WHAT ABOUT US, HUH?

WHEN DO WE GET TO DESTROY SOMETHING, HUH?

FLOUNDER, YOU WENT TO GET DADDY.

HOW'D YOU KNOW WHERE HE WAS?

HE SENT ME A LETTER.

IT'S TRITON!

HA HA.

NO MATTER.

WE HAVE A MONSTER ON OUR SIDE.

RRARRH!

RRARRH!

[GASPS]

RRARRH!

[CHEERING]

[ALL] OHH!

RRARRH!

[CHEERING]

THE MONSTER CAME OUT OF THAT.

WE'VE GOT TO GET THE THING BACK INTO IT.

RRARRH!

YOU WERE SAYING, EMPEROR SHAGA?

UH...

LET ME GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT.

OHH...

YOU OUGHT TO HIRE THIS FELLOW, SON.

FATHER, NO.

OH, HE COULD BE A BIG HELP TO YOU RUNNING THE KINGDOM.

OH, I AGREE.

YOU SHOULD GIVE HIM A JOB.

IF HE GETS A HAIRCUT.

AAH!

I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO ASK.

THANK YOU, YOUR MAJESTY.

BUT WE THOUGHT YOU WERE YOUR MAJESTY, SONNY.

TAKE A DEEP BREATH, SEBASTIAN.

[TAKES A DEEP BREATH]

I AM NOT THE KING.

THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T ASK.

I ONLY PRETENDED,

AND MY FRIENDS... HELPED.

WE DIDN'T WANT TO DISAPPOINT YOU, MR. AND MRS. CRAB.

NOW, SON, WE'RE STILL PROUD OF YOU.

[TRITON] SEBASTIAN.

EH...

HMM.

[TEETH CHATTERING]

I'M...GLAD YOU PRETENDED YOU WERE THE KING.

YOU ARE?

YES. YOU...

YOU CONFUSED THE SHARKANIANS

LONG ENOUGH FOR FLOUNDER TO COME AND GET ME.

YOU DESERVE A...

YES...

A REWARD.

[TRITON] I KNOW.

SEBASTIAN...

I PROCLAIM YOU KING FOR A DAY.

AND NOW I HAVE TO GO BURY THIS MAGIC LUMP

WHERE NO ONE WILL EVER FIND IT.

CAN I SIT ON THE THRONE?

UH-- CERTAINLY.

CAN I ORDER A ROYAL BANQUET?

OF COURSE.

OOH, MON!

CAN I GIVE MYSELF A NEW TITLE, LIKE "ALMOST THE KING"

OR "NEXT-BEST THING TO THE KING"?

DON'T PUSH IT, SEBASTIAN.

[MOM] OH, SEBASTIAN!

WE'RE SO PROUD OF YOU

FOR BEING THE GRAND HIGH CRAB GUY.

OHH...

GIVE US THE BIG CRUSTACEAN HUG.

OH, FAMILY HUG, FAMILY HUG.
