Ray-Ray: Sure did, small fry. Like you said, we took an oath.

Ink Spot: Come here, you little knucklehead. Group hug!

Shelbow: Big hug!

Cheeks: We dig you, man.

Flounder: Guys... can't breathe.

Sebastian: Come on, try and get me.

Marina Del Rey: Get back here!

Sebastian: Come swim with me.

Marina Del Rey: [He goes inside a tube, and Marina reaches in there and tries to grab him, but her finger is snaped by him] Come back here! Ow!

Sebastian: [singing] ♪ Boom, chika, boom chika, boom, boom, boom! Chika, Chika, Boom, Boom, Chika, Chika, Boom, Boom! Chika, Chika, Boom, Boom! ♪

Sebastian: Tight fit?

Marina Del Rey: [She falls and rolls down the hill and crashes off-screen] You... mermaid stinks.

Sebastian: I win.

Marina Del Rey: I've tasted power, Sebastian. And I'm never letting go.

Sebastian: [gathers the starfish] Bring it on! Come to daddy.

Sebastian: [chuckling] Oh, me!

Ink Spot: NOW!

Shelbow: Ready!

Cheeks: Aim!

Ray-Ray: Fire!

Flounder: Yeah! Awesome!

Ray-Ray: Ooh, they hurtin for certain.

Cheeks: [Chuckles] Yup, yup, yup.

Ariel: Sebastian's in trouble!

Flounder: Follow me!

Sebastian: I don't remember this much kelp when we came through here last night.

Flounder: [yelling in slow-motion] Kelp, schmelp. I ain't afraid of these overgrown weeds. Hi-yah! Take this! And take that!

Sebastian: Guys? That ain't kelp!

Marina Del Rey: SURPRISE! Ha-ha-ha!

Sebastian: Marina? What are you wearing?

Marina Del Rey: I thought I'd dress for the occasion.

Sebastian: [She shows a net; screams] What's the occasion? GO, GO, GO, GO!

Marina Del Rey: [cackling] Sic em, boys. Get that Crab!

Ariel: Sebastian.

Sebastian: Ten minutes, Mommy.

Ariel: Sebastian, Wake up.

Sebastian: Five more minutes, Daddy.

Ariel: Sebastian, did you hear that sound?

Sebastian: Leave me alone. I'm Sleeping.

Ariel: But there's something out there. Come on, help us find it.

Sebastian: Okay, I'm tired. You go check it out.

Ariel: [chuckles] A Music Box. My Mother Queen Athena.

Sebastian: It was the King Triton's and Queen Athena's anniversary present. Your father King Triton had the music box made for your mother. Queen Athena was more than his queen, you know. She was his best friend.

Ariel: [VO] The family together. Music playing all the time.

Narrator: [The two girls hide and then they tackled their father, and they laugh in joy, and fades to Triton and Athena being on the rock at the surface world. And we fade back to the present.] The palace always echoing with laughter.

Sebastian: [Ariel are sad about this] When your mother Queen Athena died, the whole kingdom was heartbroken. The heart that never healed was your father's King Triton's.

Ariel: It's so sad. She died. He's forgotten what it feels like to be happy. I... I have to bring this Music Box back to him.

Sebastian: If you insist.

Ariel: [Sebastian smiles and we cut to the gang] This is why we came here, isn't it?

Ray-Ray: Whoa, whoa, let me get this straight. You led us out here...

Ink Spot: To the armpit of nowhere, man.

Shelbow: In the hope that Red might find the music box. And now you wanna go back to the palace...

Ink Spot: To return the music box to the king...

Cheeks: The palace was restored...

Ray-Ray: On the chance that maybe it'll...

Shelbow: Remind him to remember how to be happy...

Ink Spot: And then he'll bring music back?

Sebastian: That about sums it up.

Cheeks: Couldn't we just strap it to a dolphin? He'd get it eventually.

Ray-Ray: Listen, the band talked it over, and...

Shelbow: We just can't take that chance.

Sebastian: What?!

Flounder: Huh?

Ariel: It's OK. Maybe someday it'll be different. You'll come home and play music all you want.

Ray-Ray: Sure, Red. Someday. Someday.

Ariel: [They swim different as Flounder is distaught by this] Bye.

Flounder: What? No, no, wait. Ray-Ray! Guys! We can't just let them go back alone.

Ray-Ray: Drop it, small fry.

Flounder: But we took an oath! To jump, jive, wail, groove, rock steady, and at all times lend a helping hand to your fellow music lovers!

Ray-Ray: The Catfish Club is history. That oath don't mean a thing.

Flounder: [Flounder swims up to Ariel's direction as the band watch him go] Well, it still means something to me. Hey, Ariel! Wait up! Ariel!

Marina Del Rey: Give me back the key!

Benjamin: I said no.

Marina Del Rey: Look, I haven't worked my tail off for the last 12 hours just to have it snatched away.

Benjamin: How about a nice relaxing bath?

Marina Del Rey: Benjamin.

Benjamin: Kelp wrap?

Marina Del Rey: Benjamin!

Benjamin: Lomi lomi rub?

Marina Del Rey: [losing control of her rage and yelling at Benjamin] GIVE ME THE KEY!!!!!!!!

Benjamin: But you said to never give it to you in a fit of rage!

Marina Del Rey: I'M PERFECTLY CALM!!!

Benjamin: Doesn't sound it.

Marina Del Rey: [Benjamin ducks from her swipe] GIVE! GIVE!

Benjamin: Mm-mmm.

Marina Del Rey: GIVE!!!!!!!!!!!

Benjamin: Mm-mmm!

Marina Del Rey: Oh, look at the pretty fishies.

Benjamin: [She snatches the key from the distracted Benjamin] Really? Where?

Marina Del Rey: [laughs; The eel came out of the hole and swim around their master and speaking in baby talk] Ooh, yum-yums! Come to Mommy. Oh, yes. Mommy wuvs you.

Benjamin: [shuddering] OK, I'm not gonna watch this part.

Marina Del Rey: My, my, are you hungry? Ooh... Who wants crab cakes?

Benjamin: What are you going to do?

Marina Del Rey: [turning around to Benjamin] Whatever it takes to get rid of Sebastian!

Benjamin: But what about Ariel?

Marina Del Rey: Ariel? Ariel?! You're right, she'll tattle! I'll have to get rid of her, too.

Benjamin: What?

Marina Del Rey: That's brilliant, Benjamin, brilliant!

Benjamin: OK, that wasn't what I meant.

Marina Del Rey: I never liked her anyway. I'll make it look like an accident. That's it! An accidental underwater ambush by a team of the cutest wittle yum-yums ever.

Benjamin: You've lost your mind.

Marina Del Rey: Sic em, boys!

Benjamin: Ooh, what hath we wrought?

Marina Del Rey: [Her eels swim out the window and yelling again; The eels kept on going] Oh, swim, you pretties. Swim, you pretties. Faster! Swim. WAIT UP!!!!!!!!

Flounder: Are we there yet?

Sebastian: No.

Flounder: Are we there yet?

Sabastian: No.

Flounder: Are we there yet?

Sebastian: No.

Flounder: Are we there yet?

Sebastian: No.

Flounder: Are we there yet?

Sebastian: Yes. This is it. We made it.

Flounder: Are you sure?

Sebastian: Yes.

Ray Ray: Are you sure?

Sebastian: Yes.

Cheeks: Are you sure?

Sebastian: Yes.

Shelbow: Are you sure?

Sebastian: Yes.

Ink Spot: Are your sure?

Sebastian: Yes.

Ariel: Are you s-?

Sebastian: [losing control of his rage and yelling at them] YES!!!

Ink Spot: Oh, man. We can't live here!

Shelbow: [drumbeats] Yeah, this place is all "Oom-pa-pa." We need some...

Sebastian: [singing; It echoes three times] Nonsense. It's perfect. Just listen to them acoustics: ♪ Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do ♪ Solid.

Flounder: Liquid.

Ray Ray: Well, it beats the dungeon.

Cheeks: But not by much.

Shelbow: It'll do for the time being. Excuse me.

Ray-Ray: [Flounder tries to do the same thing that Ray Ray but fail and spits out the sand] Ooh...

Ariel: Sebastian, be honest. Are we lost?

Sebastian: No, this is fine. There's more to this place than meets the eye.

Ariel: No, Sebastian, There's more to this place than meets the eye.

Everyone: [angrily] KNOCK IT OFF!

Flounder: Sorry.

Marina Del Ray: [The king ignores her as he swims away; laughs; He didn't answer; raises chair to Triton's level; claps hands over mouth; Benjamin appears] And thanks to my bold new initiatives, second only to my fabulous day wear and dressy evening separates, productivity in all sectors is up 20 percent. Squids are producing more ink, kelp more oxygen, and the coral reef is just churning out the plankton. Chuga, chuga! I do so enjoy fresh plankton on my salad, don't you? I'll take that as a yes. Ohh. As you can see, I - I'm a self starter, Your Majesty. Here to anticipate your every need! Not like that last guy, what was his name? Sooner we forget about him, the better. In fact! Let's make a vow, never to mention his name again. Here, I'll start! There! Wasn't that easy?

Benjamin: Marina.

Marina Del Rey: Busy!

King Triton: [Remorseful] I think I was too hard on them.

Marina Del Rey: Huh?

Benjamin: It's about Ariel.

Marina Del Rey: Not now!

King Triton: Perhaps I went too far.

Marina Del Rey: [Her seat went down to Benjamin] Nonsense, Your Highness. Not possible.

Benjamin: Marina.

Marina Del Rey: [angrily turning around with her chair and yelling at Benjamin] WHAT?!

Attina: [off screen] DADDY!

Benjamin: [Attina arrives with the flower Ariel left behind] Huh?

Attina: Ariel is missing.

King Triton: [shocked] What?

Marina Del Rey: [grabs Benjamin] Why didn't you tell me?!

Benjamin: I just... did.

Attina: We can't find her! We've looked everywhere!

King Triton: Don't worry, I'll find her. Get me Sebastian!

Marina Del Rey: [swims to Triton, but stops when he gives her the look] What, what No, no, no! No, I'm in charge here!

Benjamin: Sebastian's gone, too.

King Triton: [Leaves along with Attina as the guards gone off to find Ariel] Guards! Search the palace. Search every inch of Atlantica! FIND MY DAUGHTER!

Marina Del Rey: [growls; She turns to look at the flower as she goes to pick it up and squeezes it in anger.] Your Majesty. Whoo-hoo! Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Sebastian.

Sebastian: Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Sebastian: Flounder, shh! Move it, move it, move it, mon.

Ariel: Sebastian.

Flounder: Move it, move it, move it.

Sebastian: Flounder, please!

Sebastian: Shh! This way. Come on.

Ink Spot: Flounder, shh! Be quiet.

Cheeks: Ditto!

Shelbow: Shh!

Flounder: [scatting loudly] YEAH! HIT ME!

Ray-Ray: Hey, small fry, I think you could use some lessons in fugitivity.

Flounder: [conutining scatting] Oh, yeah. Right. Got it.

Cheeks: You're gonna blow it for all of us.

Flounder: [continues scatting] Blow, good.

Shelbow: Hey, kid, ixnay on the soundtrack.

Flounder: Why?

Ray-Ray: Who?

Sebastian: What?

Shelbow: When?

Cheeks: Where?

Ink Spot: Why? Why? Why? Try jail!

Cheeks: Prison!

Shelbow: The big house!

Sebastian: The slammer!

Ray-Ray: Music is against the law, you dig?

Flounder: Not out here.

All: What?

Flounder: [scatting] Come on. We ran away so we could sing. And I'm singing. Sing it with me.

Shelbow: You know, the kid's striking a major chord.

Cheeks: I feel it, I feel it.

Shelbow: Look at him go with his bad little self.

Cheeks: Oh, yeah.

Ink Spot: Come on. Let it happen.

Ray Ray: Hey, Cheeks, Shelbow, Ink Spot.

Cheeks: Yeah?

Shelbow: Yeah?

Ink Spot: [Ray-Ray throws the ball to Ink Spot as he squeezes the ball while breathing] Yeah?

Ray Ray: This ain't living. You know what I'm saying?

Sheldon: And the acoustics are non-good-ular. Listen. ♪ Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do ♪

Flounder: Come on, at least we're hanging out. Can I get a "hoo-yah?

Sebastian: Come on, guys. This looks a lot worse than it is. I'll just get an audience with the king and I'll fix it.

Shelbow: Now, no offense, man, but you had ten years to fix it, and this is where we end up?

Ink Spot: [The band gathered around to discuss the plan] In jail.

Sebastian: [And the band are done discussing the plan] Well, I...

Ray Ray: The band has talked it up, see, and we want you to...

Cheeks: Slip through the bars.

Shelbow: Use your claws to pick the lock, man.

Ink Spot: [They have each other about that being a good plan] And open that door!

Flounder: [the gang looked at him] Liquid! Just kidding.

Sebastian: [The pause at that, but they agree on being fugitives] No! Bad Plan! If we break out of this jail, there ain't no coming back here, mon! We'll be fugitives!

Flounder: [Ariel arrives and heads to their cell] What's a fugitive? What about Ariel.

Sebastian: [Ariel smashes the cell door with the rock] What about me? You just gonna abandon her, leave her to deal wit all dat we tangled her up in? You tink that small, weak, helpless little girl can do anything by herself? Ariel?

Ariel: [opens the cell door] Come on Sebastian, let's go.

Shelbow: I'm with her.

Sebastian: If we run away from Atlantica, it will break your father's heart.

Ray Ray: She got to do what she got to do.

Ariel: I'm sorry. I just can't live here.

Ink Spot: Yeah, let's go.

Sebastian: [closes the cell door] Listen, I will not be responsible for taking you away from your family.

Ariel: [opens the cell door again] I'm leaving! With or without you.

Cheeks: All right!

Sebastian: [closes the cell door again, but this time he is out of the cell; gasps] NOBODY'S LEAVING!

Shelbow: Except you.

Ray Ray: Mmm-hmm.

Ariel: Look, Sebastian, without music, this place just isn't home.

Shelbow: You know she ain't lying.

Ray Ray: Ain't no comeback to that!

Ink Spot: You got that right.

Sebastian: [Tries to think; gasps, grumbles; screams] Ha! Oh, no, no, no. Never mind.

Ariel: Are you OK?

Sebastian: Ariel, you're right! Without music, this place just isn't home. I know just where to go!

Band and Flounder: [They go through the cell door ramming Sebastian against the wall] FREEDOM!

Marina Del Rey: Benjamin, Tear out those puny windows.

Benjamin: Oh, no.

Marina Del Rey: [singing; laughing] Rip down those narrow walls. This is just the beginning. I want a balcony so I can wave down to the adoring crowds. But high enough so they can't see disdain on my face. Can you taste it, Benjamin? The sweet taste of power! Filling, yet oddly minty! ♪ Hello, world! It's Marina Del Rey! I'm the new attach! But I want more! And I'M NEVER GOING BACK! Did you get that, clawboy? NO, I'M NEVER GOING BACK... ♪

Delivery fish: Delivery for Miss Del Rey.

Benjamin: Oh... OK.

Marina Del Ray: [singing; harmonizing] ♪ Meet the new MARINA DEL REY!!!♪

Benjamin: She does seem happier. Oh!

Delivery fish: How long has she been in charge?

Benjamin: We're going on... seven minutes.

Marina Del Rey: Ah-ha!

King Triton: This is how you watch over my daughter?!

Sebastian: Sire, I...

King Triton: I trusted you!

Sebastian: [Marina looks at this in pleasure] Sire.

King Triton: Guards! Lock him away.

Ariel: What? No!

King Triton: LOCK THEM ALL AWAY!

Sebastian: But, Your Majesty, please!

Swordfish guard: [The guards escort the band, pushes Flounder] Come on. Let's move it. Hey.

Flounder: I'm with the band.

Swordfish guard: [As they take them away] Sure you are, kid.

King Triton: Marina, you will take over Sebastian's duties immediately.

Marina Del Rey: As you wish,

King Triton: Attina. Take your sisters home.

Attina: Yes, sir.

Ariel: Father, you can't do this!

King Triton: [Attina and Aquata drag Ariel out. As the princesses exit the club, King Triton, in far more rage than before, uses his trident to blast the rocks to block the entrance to the club. The scene fades to the princesses in the throne room at the palace.] It's already DONE! You are all confined to the palace.

Attina: Yes, Father.

Ariel: [bitterly] Why don't you just lock us in jail?

King Triton: Ariel, you are confined to the palace until you understand what you've done.

Ariel: What did we do? Tell me, Daddy.

Attina: Ariel, just leave it alone.

Ariel: [angrily; swims up to Triton so she can try to reason with him] No! We haven't done anything wrong. All we did was listen to music.

King Triton: Which you know is forbidden!

Ariel: But why? Why can't we have music?

King Triton: This discussion is over.

Ariel: Just tell me!

King Triton: I do not have to explain myself to you.

Ariel: I don't understand. We love music!

King Triton: [losing control of his rage and yelling at Ariel] I WILL NOT HAVE MUSIC IN MY KINGDOM!!!!!

Ariel: [She leaves the throne room, as the king and her sisters watch her leave. Triton becomes saddened while watching Ariel swim away. Cut to Ariel entering her and her sisters' room, and sitting while crying; sobbing; Her sisters enter the room as Attina is now 2 feet away from them; Ariel tries to comfort Attina, but...] I may not remember much about my mother, but I know she wouldn't have wanted this. Attina?

Attina: [Attina glares at her and swims away from her] You just don't know when to quit.

Ariel: [Her sisters did the same] What?

Adella: It's over, Ariel.

Ariel: But... we were finally happy.

Attina: Look around, Ariel. No one's happy.

Sebastian: Good morning, Your Highness.

King Triton: Sebastian. Marina.

Marina Del Rey: Good morning, Your Majesty.

King Triton: [Sebastian is shocked] I have a problem. It's Ariel.

Sebastian: Ariel?! I...

Marina Del Rey: Finally! So you see it, too? Oh, yes. She's rebellious, insubordinate, headstrong. We need to immediately implement a series of checks and balances designed to crush her spirit. What? Too harsh?

Sebastian: Absolutely! Your Highness, she is young, going through a phase.

King Triton: I don't remember having this much trouble with any of her sisters.

Marina Del Rey: I do! They're all a handful. We should shave their heads.

Marina Del Rey: Just kidding.

King Triton: Alana wasn't difficult at all.

Sebastian: Yes, Your Majesty. But Arista and the blowfish incident, remember?

Marina Del Rey: Oh! It took weeks to clean up the palace.

Sebastian: And how about Aquata and that stingray?

Marina Del Rey: Oh! I can still feel it.

King Triton: Well...

Sebastian: And the time Attina got her head stick in the conch shell.

Marina Del Rey: That was me.

King Triton: Well, perhaps you're right, Sebastian. Still, it seems Marina could use some help. I want you to look after Ariel.

King Triton: No offense, Marina.

Marina Del Rey: None taken.

Sebastian: None taken.

Marina Del Rey: [They bow down as King Triton leaves] Soft shell.

Sebastian: Tardy girl.

Marina Del Rey: Stick eye.

Sebastian: Fish lips.

Marina Del Rey: Backstabber!

Sebastian: Fashion disaster!

Marina Del Rey: BOTTOM FEEDER!

Sebastian: BABYSITTER!

King Triton: [That got them to stop fighting. Meanwhile, we go to Ariel humming "I Remember" in her sleep, but then she wake up to see her sister staring at her] Dismissed.

Ariel: [looks at her sisters being suspicious] What? What?

Attina: Uh... You were humming.

Ariel: [gasps] I was?

Arista: Out loud.

Ariel: [swims to her mirror] Don't worry. It was just a dream.

Alana: I'll tell you what wasn't a dream. We woke up at midnight.

Aquata: And your bed was still empty.

Ariel: Really?

Andrina: Yeah. That is two hours past curfew.

Ariel: Oh.

Andrina: Ooh, was it a boy?

Adella: If it's a boy, I'm gonna die!

Andrina: Ugh... Drama.

Adella: I mean, I'm happy for you, Ariel. It's just that I'm two years older than you, and the only one I've come even close to kissing is Stevie.

Andrina: Ew! Squid-Lips Stevie?

Adella: It was on a dare.

Andrina: Whatever.

Attina: Girls, let's stick to the subject.

Ariel: Well, it wasn't a boy, OK? I was just helping a friend. Out past the kelp forest.

Aquata: Ooh! Past the kelp forest. It wasn't a boy. It was a bad boy.

Arista: [gasping] Oh, Ariel.

Aquata: Simmer down there, sister.

Attina: So you were just helping a friend?

Ariel: Um... Yep.

Attina: Then, where'd you get... this?

Attina: Can you imagine what'd happen if Dad found it?

Ariel: He's never here.

Attina: [Andrina looks at her, Alana, Aquata, and Arista both looked at Ariel] Don't get cute with me. This is serious. Where were you?

Ariel: I was just... listening to music in an underground club.

Attina: [Ariel gives them the look] OK, where were you really?

Sisters: [gasping] Listening to music?

Aquata: No way.

Arista: What was it like?

Andrina: Come on. Spill it.

Ariel: [laughs] Oh, it was amazing. The energy, the dancing, the music... Just makes you feel like...

Aquata: Like what?

Ariel: Like when Mom was here.

Arista: Ariel, I wanna hear it, too.

Ariel: You do?

Aquata: Me, too.

Adella: OK. Me, too.

Alana: Me, too! Me, too!

Andrina: Not without me.

Arista: Yeah. Everybody does. Please, Ariel. Please?

Ariel: Well...

Attina: Oh!

Ariel: We'll go tonight.

Arista: I'm so excited!

Aquata: Music!

Alana: What should I wear?

Adella: So you think there'll be boys?

Andrina: One way to find out.

Attina: This is not happening! You go again and I...

Andrina: Oh, lighten up.

Ariel: [all...] Come on.

Girls: Mmm?

Attina: [The girls cheer as Marina and Benjamin arrives] OK.

Marina Del Rey: Come on, girls. Uppy-up.

Andrina: Morning.

Benjamin: They're early.

Marina Del Rey: Yes.

Benjamin: Oh, waiting for four.

Marina Del Rey: [grabs Benjamin; Leave at princesses' room] Yes. But why?!

Flounder: My name is Flounder.

Ariel: [Sees something; That was Sebastian as he stopped until her land on Sebastian] Oh, My name is Ariel. Oh, no!

Sebastian: Princess Ariel! What is the meaning of this?!

Flounder: Princess?

Ariel: Um... We weren't doing anything.

Sebastian: No? Then why were you trying to get away?

Flounder: Um... Cause they were chasing us?

Swordfish Guard: We heard music, chief.

Sebastian: [shrieks] Music! The princess was making music?!

Swordfish Guard: The princess wasn't making music. He was.

Sebastian: Music is against the law! Take him to the dungeon!

Flounder: I can't make it in the slammer!

Sebastian: Now!

Ariel: Wait! This is all a big misunderstanding. Huge. You are gonna laugh when I explain. Which I'm about to do.

Sebastian: In this century, please.

Ariel: [chuckles] Right. You see, I was just cleaning the coral tubes, and my friend here were helping me.

Flounder: That's right. Best friends helpin out. Makin it happen.

Ariel: [He make nervous smile] But not making music. See?

Sebastian: Guards! Escort the princess back to the palace.

Ariel: But Sebastian...

Sebastian: [To Flounder] And you!

Sebastian: [The two guard goes on to escort the princess back to the palace, but not before she glares at them] Consider this your first and only warning, mon.

Ariel: [Sebastian sees that Flounder is still here and he give him the angry look that scares and he swims off] Humph!

Sebastian: Oh! Intolerable, I tell you. That girl is working on my last claw!

Benjamin: [animals growling; moaning as the creatures ate the meat] Mm-hmm. Snacky-snack. OK. No manners.

Marina Del Ray: This job is killing me!

Benjamin: Oh, dear.

Marina Del Ray: ​​​​If I have to watch over these spoiled princesses one more day, I'm gonna beach myself!

Benjamin: Mm-hmm.

Marina Del Ray: [gibbering] You should've heard that little clawboy Sebastian today. "You're late." IF TRITON WASN'T LOOKING, I WOULD HAVE SQUASHED THAT CRUSTACEAN INTO A CRAB CAKE!

Benjamin: Mm-hmm.

Marina Del Ray: [inhaling deeply] Maybe I'm just too sensitive?

Benjamin: Dip.

Marina Del Ray: Did you feed them today?

Benjamin: Yes. Twice.

Marina Del Ray: [He shows her the key around his neck, and he continues to shorten her nails] And the key? Ooh! That Sebastian! I despise him! I loathe him!

Benjamin: Never heard that one.

Marina Del Ray: How did that little invertebrate get to be chief of staff?

Benjamin: Chutzpah?

Attina, Alana, Adella, Aquata, Arista, Andrina, and Ariel: Goodbye, Father.

King Triton: Ariel.

Ariel: [groans] Oh! Yes, Daddy?

Arista: [Whispering] He sounds grumpier than yesterday.

Andrina: [With Triton and Ariel] Time to go to bed.

King Triton: [sternly] A princess does not tickle another princess with seaweed.

Ariel: [smiling nervously] You saw that? I was just trying to have some fun.

King Triton: You disrupted your sisters.

King Triton: Well, I didn't.

Ariel: But Daddy, why can't...

King Triton: [interrupts] Is it too much to ask that you simply walk with your family?

Ariel: [frustrated] That's all we ever do.

King Triton: [threateningly] Ariel...

Ariel: Can't we do something different?

King Triton: [yelling at Ariel; Ariel is shocked at her father's behavior; pulls out a seashell-shaped tool] ENOUGH! You have to learn to respect the way I run this kingdom. Barnacles.

Ariel: [shocked] What? That'll take all day.

King Triton: [hands her the tool; Ariel is angry at her father as he swims inside the building] Well, then you'd better get started, young lady.

Ariel: [to herself; She swims off to where she will get all the barnacles off] I hate this place.

Sebastian: [panting] WHOA! WHOA! Good morning, Your Highness.

King Triton: Sebastian.

Sebastian: [chuckles] Hm? Oh!

King Triton: Anything to report?

Sebastian: [clears throat; shrieks; chuckles] Unfortunately, the sprat and the... smelt were still... squabbling. No worries. I told them I'd sic the salmon on them.

King Triton: Sebastian, what would I do without you?

Sebastian: You'd be negotiatin with the sprat and the smelt, that's what.

King Triton: Good morning, girls.

Attina, Alana, Adella, Aquata, Arista, Andrina and Ariel: Good morning, Father.

King Triton: Marina.

Marina Del Rey: Good morning, Your Majesty.

Sebastian: [clears throat] Marina.

Marina Del Rey: Sebastian.

Sebastian: You're late.

Marina Del Rey: [chuckles, groans] I... uh...

Sebastian: Your Majesty.

King Triton: Well, I presume you've all been attending to your royal duties this week.

Attina: Yes, Father. We've been working diligently.

Ariel: But, we're always done early.

Attina: Shh!

Ariel: And the coral is in bloom.

Andrina: Clam it!

Adella: Enough!

Ariel: [swims to her father] So I thought maybe we could go for a swim on the reef?

King Triton: Not today, Ariel.

Ariel: But it only happens once a year. It could be fun.

King Triton: I don't have the time.

Ariel: I was thinking we could just skip the morning walk.

Sebastian: [Sternly] Ariel! Your father said "No.

Ariel: [swims back to her sisters] Yes, sir.

Attina: Nice job.

Sebastian: Be on time tomorrow.

Marina Del Rey: NOW LET'S MOVE IT GIRLS!

Adella: OK, we're coming.

Andrina: Time to go.

Attina: Great.

Marina Del Ray: [first words] Uppy-uppy, my darlings.

Benjamin: [first words; The princesses groan] It's us.

Ariel: [Groans; Then Marina takes the pillow from under Aquata] Governess!

Aquata: Hey!

Marina Del Ray: Rise and shine,

Aquata: Why so early?

Marina Del Ray: Mustn't be late.

Arista: But it's still dark out.

Aquata: Uh...

Arista: [Sees now] Oh. Hi.

Benjamin: Wakey-wakey.

Adella: Oh, I was dreaming about a boy.

Marina Del Ray: Yes. Come on, girls.

Alana: But I need my beauty sleep.

Andrina: Time about it.

Alana: Easy for you. No one cares what you look...

Marina Del Ray: Move it.

Benjamin: I think you're lovely.

Andrina: Can't we meet Father later?

Marina Del Ray: [laughs; Sees the girls go back to sleep again and anger; [w:Finding Nemo|'''''GET UP!'''''; The girls rushed up and go to the mirrors] Unfortanily, I don't get to make those kinds of decisions. Any decisions kingdom, really. ] All right, all right, all right. Move your tails. This is our special time with your father.

Ariel: Special? It's the same every morning.

Andrina: Ah, she's got a point.

Marina Del Ray: That's what your father cares about. Predictability, presentation, punctuality.

Ariel: That's all Dad cares about.

Andrina: She's got a point.

Aquata: You've got your own mirror!

Benjamin: Two minutes.

Marina Del Ray: [They get ready as they talk, as Attina goes to Ariel] STOP PRIMPING!

Attina: Come on, Ariel.

Ariel: Why can't he let us do something different? Just once.

Attina: Give him a break. He's the king, remember? You try running a kingdom.

Ariel: I wouldn't run it like this.

Attina: Don't upset him, Ariel.

Ariel: Just because you're the oldest, Attina, doesn't mean you get to boss us around.

Attina: Yes, it does.

Marina Del Ray: Come on, Benjamin, if we're late again, I'll never get a promotion.

Benjamin: Come on, Marina...

Attina: Come on, girls.

Marina Del Ray: [the girls leave and anger again] Not that I want a promotion. No, no, no, I love this job. Looking after you is what I live for. Really. I hate this job!

Benjamin: The less said the better.
