The salty sea air, wind blowing in your face. (BARKS) A perfect day to be at sea! Oh, yes. Delightful. (RETCHES) A fine strong wind and a following sea. King Triton must be in a friendly-type mood. King Triton?! Why, ruler of the merpeople, lad. Thought every good sailor knew about him. Merpeople! Eric, pay no attention to this nautical nonsense. It ain't nonsense, it's the truth! I'm tellin' you, down in the depths of the ocean they live. Waargh! Arrgh! # In mysterious fathoms below # Phew! (MYSTERIOUS MUSIC) 1 (MERPEOPLE SING) (MAJESTIC FANFARE) (COUGHS) His Royal Highness, King Triton! (CHEERING / APPLAUSE) And presenting the distinguished court composer, Horatio Thelonious Ignatius Crustaceous Sebastian! (KAZOO FANFARE) (POLITE APPLAUSE) Whoa! I'm really looking forward to this performance, Sebastian. Oh, Your Majesty,... ..this will be the finest concert I have ever conducted. Your daughters - they will be spectacular! (SQUEAKS) Yes, especially my little Ariel. Yes! Yes, she has the most beautiful voice. If only she'd show up for rehearsals once in a while. (ORCHESTRA TUNING) (APPLAUSE) (LIVELY TUNE) # We are the daughters of Triton # Great father who loves us and named us well # Aquata # A-ah-ah, a-ah-ah, a-ah-ah! # Andrina # A-ah-ah, a-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah! # Arista # Ahh-ah-ah-ah! # Atina # Ahh-ah-ah-ah! # Adella # Ahh-ah-ah-ah-ah! # Alana # Ahh-ah-ah-ah! # Then there is the youngest in her musical debut # Our seventh little sister We're presenting her to you # To sing a song Sebastian wrote Her voice is like a bell # She's our sister, Ari... # (ALL GASP) (GASPS) Ariel! 'Ariel, wait for me!' Flounder, hurry up! (PANTS) You know I can't swim that fast. There it is. Isn't it fantastic? Yeah. Sure(!) It's great. Now let's get outta here. You're not getting cold fins now, are you?! Who, me? No way! (SHIP CREAKS) It's just, it, er... It looks damp in there. Yeah. And I think I may be coming down with something. I got this cough. (COUGHS UNCONVINCINGLY) Alright. I'm going inside. You can just stay here and watch for sharks. OK. Yeah, you go. I'll stay and... What?! Sharks! Ariel! Oof! Ariel. I can't... I mean... Ariel, help! (GIGGLES) Oh, Flounder. (WHISPERS) Ariel. Do you really think there might be sharks around here? Don't be such a guppy. I'm not a guppy. This is great - I mean, I really love this. Excitement, adventure, danger lurking around every corn... Yaaarghh! Ariel! Are you OK? Yeah, sure, no problem, I'm OK. Shh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Have you ever seen anything so wonderful in your entire life? Wow, cool! But, er, what is it? I don't know. But I bet Scuttle will. (GROANING) What was that? Did you hear something? Hmm, I wonder what this one is? Ariel. Flounder, will you relax? Nothing is going to happen. Aaargh! Shark! We're gonna die! Aaargh! Aaargh! Oh, no! Oof! Whoa! Waaargh! (GROWLS) Aarrh! You big bully. (BLOWS RASPBERRY) Oh! (GIGGLES) Flounder, you really are a guppy. I am not! (HUMS) Scuttle! (SHOUTS) Whoa! Mermaid off the port bow! Ariel, how you doin', kid? Whoa, what a swim! Look what we found! We were in this sunken ship - it was really creepy. Human stuff, huh? Hey, lemme see. (CLANG!) Ow! Look at this! Wow, this is special - this is very, very unusual. What? What is it? It's a dinglehopper! Humans use these little babies... to straighten their hair out. A little twirl here and a yank there and voiolay! You got an aesthetically-pleasing configuration of hair that humans go nuts over! A dinglehopper! What about that one? Ah! This I haven't seen in years. This is wonderful! A banded, bulbous... ..snarfblat. (BOTH) Oohh! Now, the snarfblat dates back to prehistorical times, when humans used to sit around and stare at each other all day. Got very boring. So they invented the snarfblat to make fine music. Allow me. (PARPS) Music?! It's stuffed. Oh, the concert! My father's gonna kill me! The concert was today? Maybe you could make a little planter out of it. Sorry, I've gotta go. Thank you! Anytime sweetie, anytime. (SCARY MUSIC) Yes, hurry home, princess. We wouldn't want to miss old Daddy's celebration, now, would we? Huh! Celebration indeed. Bah! In my day, we had fantastical feasts when I lived in the palace. And now look at me. Wasted away to practically nothing - banished and exiled and practically starving, while he and his flimsy fish-folk celebrate. Well, I'll give 'em something to celebrate soon enough. Flotsam! Jetsam! I want you to keep a close watch on this pretty little daughter of his. She may be the key to Triton's undoing. * I just don't know what we're going to do with you, young lady! Daddy, I'm sorry. I just forgot. As a result of your careless behaviour... Careless and reckless! The entire celebration was... Ruined! That's all! Completely destroyed! This concert was to be the pinnacle of my distinguished career. Now I am the laughing stock of the entire kingdom! But it wasn't her fault! Er... Well, first, er, this shark chased us - yeah! And we tried to - but we couldn't... And... Grrrrrrrrr! And we, whooaaaa! (SIGHS) Then we were safe. Then this seagull came and was, "This is this, that is that..." Seagull?! What?! You went up to the surface again, didn't you?! Nothing happened. Oh, Ariel, how many times must we go through this? You could've been seen by one of those barbarians - those humans! Daddy, they're not barbarians! They're dangerous! Do you think I want to see my youngest daughter snared by some fish-eater's hook? I'm sixteen years old! I'm not a child! Don't you take that tone of voice with me! As long as you live under my ocean, you obey my rules! If you'd listen... Not another word. I am NEVER to hear of you going to the surface again! Is that clear?! (CRIES) Hm! Teenagers. They think they know everything. You give them an inch, they swim all over you. Do you, er, think I was too hard on her? Definitely not. Why, if Ariel was my daughter, I'd show her who was boss. None of this "flitting to the surface" and other such nonsense. No, sir. I'd keep her under tight control. You're absolutely right! Of course. Ariel needs constant supervision. Constant. Someone to watch over her - to keep her out of trouble. And you are just the crab to do it. How do I get myself into these situations? I should be writing symphonies - not tagging along after some headstrong teenager. Hmm? What is that girl up to? (PANTS) (GASPS) Eeeeurrh! Eeeeggh! Ow! (GROANS) Huh?! Ariel, are you OK? If only I could make him understand. I don't see things the way he does. I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad. # Look at this stuff. Isn't it neat? # Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? # Wouldn't you think I'm the girl # The girl who has everything? # Look at this trove Treasures untold # How many wonders can one cavern hold? # Lookin' around here you'd think # Sure, she's got everything # I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty # I've got whosits and whatsits galore # You want thingamabobs? I got twenty # But who cares? No big deal # I want more # I wanna be where the people are # I wanna see. Wanna see 'em dancin' # Walkin' around on those... What d'you call 'em? Oh, feet! Hmph. # Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far # Legs are required for jumpin', dancin' # Strollin' along down a... What's that word again? # Street # Up where they walk Up where they run # Up where they stay all day in the sun # Wanderin' free # Wish I could be part of that world # What would I give # If I could live out of these waters? (SCREAMS) # What would I pay to spend a day # Warm on the sand? # Betcha on land they understand # Bet they don't reprimand their daughters # Bright young women # Sick of swimmin' # Ready to stand # And ready to know What the people know # Ask 'em my questions And get some answers # What's a fire and why does it... # What's the word? Burn? # When's it my turn? # Wouldn't I love # Love to explore that shore up above? # Out of the sea # Wish I could be # Part of that # World # (CRASH / BOING!) (CRASHING) Sebastian! (COUGHS) Ariel! What are you...? How could you...? What is all this?! It, er, it's just my collection. Oh. (LAUGHS) I see. Your collection. Mmm. If your father knew about this...! You're not gonna tell him? Oh, please, he'd never understand. Ariel. You're under a lot of pressure down here. Come with me, I'll take you home and get you something warm to drink. What do you suppose...? Ariel? Ariel! (FIREWORKS CRACKLE) (GIGGLES) Ariel, what are you...? Jumpin' jellyfish! Ariel! Ariel! Please come back! (CHATTERING) (TRADITIONAL / FOLK MUSIC) (BARKS) (SNIFFS) (GASPS) (WHISTLES) Max, here boy. (BARKS) Hey, come on, mutt, whatcha doing, huh, Max? Come on, Max! (LAUGHS) Good boy, good boy. Hey there, sweetie! Quite a show, eh? Scuttle, be quiet! They'll hear you. Oh, I gotcha, I gotcha. We're being intrepidatious. (SHOUTS) We're out to discover! I've never seen a human this close before. (SIGHS) He's very handsome, isn't he? I dunno, he looks kinda hairy and slobbery to me. (LAUGHS) Not that one! The one playing the snarfblat. Silence! Silence! It is now my honour and privilege to present our esteemed Prince Eric with a very special, very expensive, very large birthday present. Ah, Grimsby, y'old beanpole - you shouldn't have. I know. (DRUM ROLL) Happy birthday, Eric! (ALL) Oh! (GROWLS) Gee, Grim. Ahem. It's, er, it-it's really something. Yes, I commissioned it myself. Of course, I had hoped it would be a wedding present... (LAUGHS) Come on, Grim, don't start. You're not still sore because I didn't fall for the princess of Glauerhaven, are you? Oh, Eric, it isn't me alone. The entire kingdom wants to see you settled down with the right girl. Well, she's out there somewhere. I just... I just haven't found her yet. Perhaps you haven't been looking hard enough. Believe me, when I find her I'll know - without a doubt. It'll just... Bam! Hit me - like lightning. (THUNDER RUMBLES) Hurricane a'comin'! Stand fast! Secure the riggin'! (SHOUTING) (LIGHTNING CLAPS) (BARKS) Whoa! The wind's all of a sudden on the move here! Yeeow! Ariel! (BELL RINGS) Look out! (ALL SHOUT) Grim, hang on! (BARKING) Max! Jump, Max! Come on boy, jump! You can do it, Max. (YELPS) Eric! (DISTANT BARKING) Is he... dead? It's hard to say. Oh, I-I can't make out a heartbeat. No, look! He's breathing. He's so beautiful. # What would I give # To live where you are? # What would I pay # To stay here beside you? # What would I do to see you # Smiling at me? # Where would we walk? Where would we run? # If we could stay all day in the sun? # Just you and me, and I could be # Part of your world # (BARKING) Eric! Eric! You really delight in these sadistic strains on my blood pressure, don't you? A girl rescued me. She was singing. She had the most beautiful voice. Ah, Eric, I think you've swallowed a bit too much sea water. Off we go. (BARKS) Come on, Max. We've gotta forget this whole thing ever happened. The sea king will never know. You won't tell him; I won't tell him. I will stay in one piece. # I don't know when # I don't know how # But I know something's starting right now # Watch and you'll see # Some day I'll be # Part of your # World # Oh, no, no, no, no! I can't stand it - it's too easy. The child is in love with a human. And not just any human - a prince! (LAUGHS NASTILY) Her daddy'll love that. King Triton's headstrong, lovesick girl would make a charming addition to my little garden. (CACKLES) * Ariel, dear, time to come out. You've been in there all morning. (HUMS) What is with her lately? Oh! (GIGGLES) Morning, Daddy. Well! (LAUGHS) (SINGS) Oh, she's got it bad. What? What has she got? Isn't it obvious, Daddy? Ariel's in love. Ariel? In love? OK. So far, so good. I don't think the king knows. But it will not be easy keeping something like this a secret for long. (SIGHS) He loves me. Hmm. He loves me not. He loves me! (GIGGLES) I knew it! Ariel, stop talking crazy! I gotta see him again - tonight! Scuttle knows where he lives. Ariel, please! Will you get your head out of the clouds and back in the water? I'll swim up to his castle. Then Flounder will splash around to get his attention... Down here is your home! Listen to me. The human world - it's a mess. Life under the sea is better than anything they got up there. # The seaweed is always greener # In somebody else's lake # You dream about going up there # But that is a big mistake # Just look at the world around you # Right here on the ocean floor # Such wonderful things around you # What more is you lookin' for? # Under the sea # Under the sea # Darling, it's better Down where it's wetter # Take it from me # Up on the shore they work all day Out in the sun they slave away # While we devotin' full time to floatin' # Under the sea # Down here all the fish is happy # As off through the waves they roll # The fish on the land ain't happy # They sad cos they in their bowl # But fish in the bowl is lucky # They in for a worser fate # One day when the boss get hungry # Guess who's gonna be on the plate # Whoa, under the sea # Under the sea # Nobody beat us, fry us and eat us # In fricassee # We what the land folks loves to cook # Under the sea we off the hook # We got no troubles Life is the bubbles # Under the sea # Under the sea # Under the sea # Under the sea # Since life is sweet here We got the beat here # Naturally # Naturally! # Even the sturgeon and the ray # They get the urge And start to play # We got the spirit You got to hear it # Under the sea # The newt play the flute The carp play the harp # The plaice play the bass And they soundin' sharp # The bass play the brass The chub play the tub # The fluke is the Duke of Soul # Yeah # The ray he can play The lings on the strings # The trout rockin' out The blackfish she sings # The smelt and the sprat They know where it's at # And oh, that blowfish blow... (PARPS!) (CALYPSO-TYPE MUSIC) A-ha! Yeah! # Under the sea # Under the sea # Under the sea # Under the sea # When the sardine begin the beguine # It's music to me # What do they got? # A lot of sand # We got a hot crustacean band # Each little clam here Know how to jam here # Under the sea # Each little slug here Cutting a rug here # Under the sea # Each little snail here Know how to wail here # That's why it's hotter Under the water # Ya, we in luck here Down in the muck here # Under the sea # Ariel? Oh. Somebody's got to nail that girl's fins to the floor. Sebastian! (PANTS) I've been looking all over for you. I've got an urgent message from the sea king. The sea king? He wants to see you right away - something about Ariel. (GASPS) He knows! (CHUCKLES) Let's see, now. Oh, who could the lucky merman be? Ahem! Come in, Sebastian. I must remain calm. (SQUEAKS) Yes? (CLEARS THROAT) Yes, Your Majesty. Now, Sebastian, I'm concerned about Ariel. Have you noticed she's been acting peculiar lately? Peculiar? You know - moaning about, daydreaming, singing to herself. You haven't noticed, hmm? Oh! Well, I... Sebastian. Mmm? I know you've been keeping something from me. (GULPS) Keeping something? About Ariel? (RATTLES) Ariel? In love? (GASPS) I tried to stop her, sir. She wouldn't listen. I told her to stay away from humans. They are bad. Humans?! What about humans?! Humans? (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) Who said anything about humans? (YELPS) Flounder, why can't you just tell me what this is all about? You'll see. It's a surprise. Oh, Flounder! Flounder, you're the best! It looks just like him. It even has his eyes! (GIGGLES) Why, Eric, run away with you? This is all so sudden. (LAUGHS) (GASPS) Daddy! I consider myself a reasonable merman. I set certain rules, and I expect those rules to be obeyed. But, Dad, I...! Is it true you rescued a human from drowning? I had to... Contact with the human world is forbidden. You know that! Everyone knows that! He would have died! One less human to worry about! You don't even know him. Know him? I don't have to know him! They're all the same! Spineless, savage, harpooning, fish-eaters, incapable of feeling... Daddy, I love him! No. Have you lost your senses? He's a human, you're a mermaid! I don't care. So help me, Ariel, I am going to get through to you. And if this is the only way, so be it. Daddy! (GASPS) No! No, please. Daddy, stop! Daddy, stop it! Daddy, no! Ariel, I... Just go away. Poor child. Poor, sweet child. She has a very serious problem. If only there were something we could do. But there is something. Who... Who are you? Don't be scared. We represent someone who can help you. Someone who could make all your dreams come true. (BOTH) Just imagine... ..you and your prince... (BOTH) ..together, forever. I don't understand. Ursula... has great powers. The sea witch? Why, that's... I couldn't possibly! No! Get out of here! Leave me alone! Suit yourself. It was only a suggestion. Wait. (BOTH) Yes? (SNIFFS) Poor Ariel. I didn't mean to tell. It was an accident. Ariel, where are you going? What are you doing here with this riff-raff? I'm going to see Ursula. (GASPS) Ariel, no! No, she's a demon, she's a monster! Why don't you go tell my father? You're good at that. But I... Come on. (BOTH) This way. (WAILING) (GASPS) Come in. Come in, my child. We mustn't lurk in doorways. It's rude. One might question your upbringing. (LAUGHS NASTILY) Now, then. You're here because you have a thing for this human. This, er, prince fellow. Not that I blame you - he is quite a catch, isn't he? (LAUGHS) Well, angel fish,... ..the solution to your problem is simple. The only way to get what you want is to become a human yourself. (GASPS) Can you do that? My dear, sweet child. That's what I do! It's what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk - like yourself! Poor souls with no-one else to turn to. # I admit that in the past I've been a nasty # They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch # But you'll find that nowadays I've mended all my ways # Repented, seen the light and made a switch... True? Yes. # And I fortunately know a little magic # It's a talent that I always have possessed # And here lately, please don't laugh, I use it on behalf # Of the miserable, lonely and depressed... Pathetic! # Poor unfortunate souls # In pain, in need # This one longing to be thinner That one wants to get the girl # And do I help them? Yes, indeed # Those poor unfortunate souls # So sad. So true # They come flocking to my cauldron Crying, "Spells, Ursula please!" # And I help them? Yes, I do # Now it's happened once or twice # Someone couldn't pay the price # And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em, 'cross the coals # Yes, I've had the odd complaint # But on the whole I've been a saint # To those poor unfortunate souls # Now, here's the deal. I will make you a potion that will turn you into a human for three days. Got that? Three days. Now listen, this is important. Before the sun sets on the third day, you've got to get dear old princey to fall in love with you. That is, he's got to kiss you. Not just any kiss - the kiss of true love. If he does kiss you before the sun sets on the third day, you'll remain human, permanently. But - if he doesn't, you turn back into a mermaid and... you belong to me. No, Ariel! (MUFFLED SHOUTS) Have we got a deal? If I become human,... ..I'll never be with my father or sisters again. That's right! But you'll have your man. (LAUGHS NASTILY) Life's full of tough choices, innit? Oh! There is one more thing. We haven't discussed payment. You can't get something for nothing. But I don't have any... I'm not asking much. Just a token, a trifle! You'll never even miss it. What I want from you is... your voice. My voice? You've got it, sweetcakes. No more talking, singing, zip! But without my voice, how can I...? You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't underestimate the importance of... body language! Ha! # The men up there don't like a lot of blabber # They think a girl who gossips is a bore # Yes, on land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word # And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for? Come on! # They're not all that impressed with conversation # True gentlemen avoid it when they can # But they dote and swoon and fawn on a lady who's withdrawn # It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man # Come on, you poor unfortunate soul # Go ahead! Make your choice! # I'm a very busy woman, and I haven't got all day # It won't cost much Just your voice! # You poor unfortunate soul # It's sad but true # If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet, you've got to pay the toll # Take a gulp and take a breath and go ahead and sign the scroll! # Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys # The boss is on a roll # This poor unfortunate # Soul # Paluga, sarruga, come winds of the Caspian Sea # Naringsus glossitis et max laryngitis # La voce to me! # Now, sing! (SINGS) Keep singing! (VOICE MOVES) (LAUGHS NASTILY) (CACKLES) (CACKLING ECHOES) * (FLUTE MUSIC) # "Part of Your World" (BARKS) That voice. I can't get it out of my head. I've looked everywhere, Max. Where could she be? (BOTH PANT) Well, look at what the catfish dragged in! (LAUGHS) Look at ya! Look at ya! There's something different. Don't tell me - I got it. It's your hairdo, right? You've been using the dinglehopper, right? No? No, huh? Well, let me see. New seashells? No new seashells. I can't put my foot on it now, but if I stand here long enough I'll... She's got legs, you idiot! She traded her voice to the sea witch and got legs. Jeez, man. I knew that. Ariel's been turned into a human! She's gotta make the prince fall in love with her and kiss her! And she's only got three days! Just look at her. On legs. On human legs! My nerves are shot. This is a catastrophe! What would her father say? He'd say he's gonna kill himself a crab, that's what her father'd say! I'm gonna march straight home right now and tell him like I shoulda done the minute... Don't you shake your head at me, young lady. Maybe there's still time. If we could get that witch to give you back your voice, you could go home with all the normal fish, and just be... Just be... Just be miserable for the rest of your life. Alright, alright. I'll try to help you find that prince. Boy. What a soft-shell I'm turning out to be. Now, Ariel, if you wanna be a human the first thing you gotta do is dress like one. (SNIFFS) (BARKS) Max? Huh? Max! (WOLF-WHISTLES) You look great, kid. You look sensational. (BARKS) Oh! (SHOUTS) (PANTS HAPPILY) Max! Max! Quiet, Max! What's gotten into you, fella? Oh. Oh, I see. Are you OK, miss? I'm sorry if this knucklehead scared you. He's harmless, really... You seem very familiar to me. Have we met? (BARKS ENTHUSIASTICALLY) We have met? I knew it! You're the one I've been looking for! What's your name?! What's wrong? What is it? You can't speak? Oh. Then you couldn't be who I thought. (BOTH SIGH IN FRUSTRATION) What is it? You're hurt? No, No. You need help! Whoa! Careful, careful. Easy. Gee, you must have really been through something. Don't worry, I'll help you. Come on. Come on, you'll be OK. (BARKS) Washed up from a shipwreck. Oh, the poor thing. We'll have you feeling better in no time. (SINGS) (GASPS) I'll just, er... I'll just get this washed for you. (COUGHS / SPLUTTERS) You must have heard about this girl. Well, Gretchen says... Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi! When has Gretchen got anything right? (BURPS) I mean, this girl shows up in rags... Madame, please! (SQUEALS) Not my idea of a princess. If Eric's looking for a girl, there's some available here. (GASPS IN HORROR) Oh, Eric, be reasonable. Nice young ladies don't swim around rescuing people in the ocean, and then flutter off into oblivion... I'm telling you, she was real! I'm gonna find that girl. And I'm gonna marry her. (LAUGHS) Come on honey. Don't be shy. Oh, Eric, isn't she a vision? Er, you look wonderful. Come, you must be famished. Let me help you, my dear. There we go. That's better. Quite comfy? It's not often that we have such a lovely dinner guest, eh, Eric? Er, do you like it? It is rather fine. Hm, very amusing. Carlotta, my dear, what's for dinner? Oh, you're gonna love it. Chef's been fixing his specialty, stuffed crab. (SINGS IN FRENCH) # Les poissons, les poissons # How I love les poissons # Love to chop and to serve little fish # First I cut off their heads # Then I pull out the bones # Ah, mais oui, ca c'est toujours delish... (BELCHES) # Les poissons, les poissons Hee-hee-hee, Hah-hah-hah # With the cleaver I hack them in two # I pull out what's inside, and I serve it up fried # God, I love little fishes, don't you? # Here's something for tempting the palate # Prepared in the classic technique # First you pound the fish flat with a mallet # Then you slash through the skin Give the belly a slice # Then you rub some salt in # Cos that makes it taste nice... Zut alors! I have missed one! # Sacre bleu. What is this? # How on earth could I miss such a sweet little succulent crab? # Quel dommage! What a loss! Here we go in the sauce # Now some flour, I think Just a dab... (SNEEZES) # Now I stuff you with bread. It don't hurt cos you're dead # And you're certainly lucky you are... (COUGHS) # Cos it's gonna be hot in my big silver pot # Toodle-oo, mon poisson Au revoir! # (YELPS) (GASPS) What is this? Aaargh! # "Galop" from Orpheus - Offenbach Yaaaaraargh! Oo-ah-ee! Ah-oo-oo! (ROARS) (GASPS) Yeeeaaarrgh! (LOUD CRASHING) I think I'd better go see what Louis is up to. Come out, you little pipsqueak, and fight like a man! Louis! What are you doing?! Well, I-I was just, er,... I'm sorry, Madame. (LAUGHS SHEEPISHLY) Oh! Perhaps our young guest might enjoy seeing some of the sights of the kingdom. Something in the way of a tour? I'm sorry, what was that? You can't spend all your time moping, you need to get out. Have a life. Get your mind off... Shhh! That's not a bad idea. If she's interested. Would you like to join me on a tour of my kingdom? Wonderful! Now let's eat, before this crab wanders off my plate. (BARKS) (WHISTLES) Here, boy! This has got to be, without a doubt, the single most humiliating day of my life. I hope you appreciate what I go through for you, young lady. Now, we got to make a plan to get that boy to kiss you. Tomorrow, when he takes you for that ride, you gotta look your best. You gotta bat your eyes - like this. You gotta pucker up your lips - like this. Hmm. You are hopeless, child. You know that? Completely hopeless. (YAWNS) Any sign of them? No, Your Majesty. We've searched everywhere. We've found no trace of your daughter - or Sebastian. Keep looking. Leave no shell unturned, no coral unexplored. Let no-one in this kingdom sleep until she's safe at home. Yes, sire. Oh, what have I done? What have I done? * Has he kissed her yet? Not yet. Oh. (SQUAWK) (CHATTER) (CLASSICAL MUSIC) Yo, Flounder! Any kissing? No, not yet. Hm. Well they'd better get crackin'. (NEIGHING) Move over. Move your big feathers. I can't see a thing. Nothing is happening. Only one day left, and that boy ain't puckered up once. OK. Alright, this calls for a little vocal romantic stimulation. Stand back. (ALL CHIRP) (CLEARS THROAT) (SINGS BADLY) Wow. Somebody should find that poor animal and put it out of its misery. Pah! Jeez, man, I'm surrounded by amateurs! You want something done, you've got to do it yourself. First, we've got to create the mood. Percussion. Strings. Winds.

Ain't that sad? # Ain't it a shame? # Too bad, he gonna miss the girl # I feel really bad not knowing your name. Maybe I could guess! Is it, er, Mildred? (LAUGHS) OK, no! How about Diana? Rachel? Ariel. Her name is Ariel. Ariel? Ariel?! Well, that's kinda pretty. OK, Ariel. # Now's your moment # Ya-ya-ya # Floating in a blue lagoon # Ya-ya-ya # Boy, you'd better do it soon No time will be better # Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya-ya # She don't say a word # And she won't say a word Until you kiss the girl...

Nice work, boys. That was a close one. Too close. The little tramp! Oh, she's better than I thought. At this rate, he'll be kissing her by sunset for sure. Well, it's time Ursula took matters into her own tentacles! Triton's daughter will be mine! And I'll make him writhe. I'll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook! (LAUGHS EVILLY) (FLUTE MUSIC) Eric, if I may say, far better than any dream girl is one of flesh and blood, one warm and caring and right before your eyes. (SIGHS) # "Part of Your World" (MUSIC CONTINUES) (UNSETTLED MUSIC) (CHEERFUL MUSIC) Ariel! Ariel, wake up! Wake up! I just heard the news. Congratulation, kiddo, we did it! (YAWNS) What is this idiot babbling about? Right, as if you two didn't know! The whole town's buzzin' about the prince gettin' himself hitched this afternoon! You know, he's getting married! You silly sidewalker! I just wanted to wish you luck. Catch you later. I wouldn't miss it! Well, erm, Eric. I-It appears that I was mistaken. This mystery maiden of yours does, in fact, exist. And she is lovely. Congratulations, my dear. We wish to be married as soon as possible. Oh, of course, Eric, but, er, these things take time. This afternoon, Grimsby. The wedding ship departs at sunset. Oh, very well, Eric - as you wish. (LAUGHS WICKEDLY) (MAJESTIC CLASSICAL MUSIC) (SOBS) (SINGS) # What a lovely little bride I'll make # My dear, I'll look divine... (LAUGHS NASTILY) # Things are working out According to my ultimate design # Soon I'll have that little mermaid And the ocean will be mine! # (CACKLES) The sea witch! Oh, no. She's... I gotta. Ariel! Ariel! Ariel. (PANTS) I was flying,... Of course I was flying. And I s-saw... The watch, the witch was watchin' a mirror, and she was singin' with a stolen set of pipes! Do you hear what I'm tellin' you?! The prince is marrying the sea witch in disguise! Are you sure about this? Have I ever been wrong? I mean, when it's important! What are we gonna do!? (URSULA) 'Before the sun sets on the third day...' Ariel, grab on to that. Flounder, get her to that boat as fast as you can! I'll try. I've gotta get to the sea king. He must know about this! What about me? You find a way to stall that wedding! Stall the wedding. Wh-Where am I? What's...? That's it! (SQUAWKS) (ALL CHIRP) (DOLPHINS CHATTER) Move it, let's go! We got an emergency here! (SEALS BARK) (MAJESTIC CLASSICAL MUSIC) (GROWLS) (WHIMPERS) Dearly beloved,... Don't worry, Ariel. (PANTS) W-We're gonna make it. We're almost there. Yes, do you Eric, take Vanessa to be your lawfully wedded wife, for as long as you both shall live? I do. (SQUAWKING) And do you...? Aaarh! (GASPS) Whooaaa! (BARKS) Aaarrgh! (SEALS BARK) Yeeeow! Ooohh! (SQUEALS) ..then by the power vested... Get away, you slimey little... Aaaargh! Ooooohhh! Eeeeurrgh! (SQUAWKS LOUDLY) Why, you little... (BARKS) (GROWLS HAPPILY) (SQUEALS) (SINGING) Ariel? Eric! (BARKS HAPPILY) You-You can talk. You're the one. Eric, get away from her! It-It was you all the time. Oh, Eric, I-I wanted to tell you. Eric, no! Ohh! You're too late! (CACKLES) You're too late! (LAUGHS) (ALL GASP IN HORROR) So long, lover boy. Ariel! Poor little princess. It's not you I'm after. I've a much bigger fish to... Ursula, stop! Hmph. Why, King Triton! Ha-ha-ha, how are you? Let her go. Not a chance, Triton! She's mine now. We made a deal. Daddy, I'm sorry! I-I-I didn't mean to. I didn't know! (CACKLES WICKEDLY) You see? The contract's legal, binding and completely unbreakable - even for you. Of course, I always was a girl with an eye for a bargain. The daughter of the great sea king is a very precious commodity. But I might be willing to make an exchange... for someone even better. Eric! What are you doing? I lost her once. I'm not gonna lose her again! Now! Do we have a deal? Ha! It's done, then! (LAUGHS) No! Your Majesty. Daddy? At last, it's mine! (LAUGHS MENACINGLY) You... You monster! Don't fool with me, you little brat! Contract or no... Aarrgh! Why, you little fool! Eric! Eric look out! After him! (PANTS) Come on! Yeeeeow! Say goodbye to your sweetheart. Arrrgh! Babies! My poor, little poopsies! (GROWLS) Eric, you've got to get away from here. No, I won't leave you. (LAUGHS EVILLY) (LAUGHTER DEEPENS) You pitiful, insignificant, fool! Look out! Now I am the ruler of all the ocean! The waves obey my every whim! Eric! Arrrgh! The sea and all its spoils bow to my power! (SEA ROARS) (CRASHING / RUMBLING) Eric! (STRAINS / PANTS) (WHIRRING / WHOOSHING) Aargh! (CACKLES WICKEDLY) So much for true love! Noooo! Aaarrgh! (FIZZING / BUBBLING) (PANTS HEAVILY) (CRASHING / BOOMING) (ALL WAIL) (ALL SHOUT HAPPILY) She really does love him, doesn't she, Sebastian? Well, it's like I always say, Your Majesty, children got to be free to lead their own lives. You always say that? (LAUGHS) (SIGHS) Then I guess there's just one problem left. And what's that, Your Majesty? How much I'm going to miss her. (ALL CHEER) (GASPS) (GRUNTS) (SQUEALS) Ah-ha! (SHOUTS) Yeeaargh! (LAUGHS TRIUMPHANTLY) Yes! Thank you, thank you. I love you, Daddy. # Now we can walk # Now we can run # Now we can stay all day in the sun # Just you and me # And I can be # Part of your world # IMS Subtitles Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air.
