The Little Mermaid Quotes

Sebastian You are hopeless, child. You know that? Completely hopeless.

Princess Ariel Thank you for hearing me.

Vanessa So long, Red.

Princess Ariel Get to shore! She'll kill you! (Eric: I'm not leaving you!)

Ursula Now I rule the seas and all will be helpless under my power!

Ursula Fine then, forget about the world above. Go back home to Father, and "Never leave again!

Prince Eric Wouldn't it be amazing to discover someplace no one's ever seen before?

King Triton You shouldn't have had to give up your voice to be heard, but now I am listening.

Ursula Only one more sunset and then I'll make Triton writhe. I'll see him wriggle like a worm on a hook.

King Triton Was I too hard on her?

King Triton What have I done?

Ursula Don't worry, boys. She doesn't stand a chance without this. A mermaid without her voice? And just in case, I slipped a little somethin extra into that spell of mine. No matter how hard that girl tries, she won't remember she needs to get that kiss. Now it's just a matter of time. And then she's mine.

King Triton As long as you live in my ocean, you'll obey my rules.

King Triton This obsession with humans has to stop.

Ursula You can't live in that world unless you become a human yourself. Oh, my dear. It's what I do. It's what I live for.

Sebastian Not so easy without your tail, is it?

King Triton You gave your life for me. And you fought to get my life back.

Ursula What has your father told you about me?

Ursula Yes, hurry home, Princess. We wouldn't want to be late for Father's gathering, now, would we? Perhaps I'll join them. Oh, wait, what a shame. It seems that Big Brother forgot to invite Auntie Ursula to the party… again. Oh, I should be the one throwing the parties, not waiting on an invitation. Oh, the feasts we had when I lived in the palace. And now look at me, the family pariah. Wasting away to practically nothing. Banished and exiled, driven halfway to madness in this dim little crevice for 15 long years, while Daddy and his spoiled little mer-brats celebrate the Coral Moon. Well, I'll give them something to celebrate. I may have finally found Daddy's weakness. Yes. Red's fascination with humans might be just the opening I've been waiting for.

Princess Ariel Sebastian, if you had just seen it up there, the ship rode on the wind. They filled the sky with fire.

Ursula So much for true love.

Ursula Look at her stupid little feet!

Ursula No. No, it's too easy. She's already in love with the human world and now she found her soulmate. Ugh. Oh, wait until Daddy finds out. He's gonna hit the surface. That little girl's gonna run straight into my tentacles. Then I'll use her as a prawn in my little game and finally get to rip the power away from Triton that should've been mine all along.

Sebastian Where is she going with those slippery good-for-nothings?

Ursula Poor child. Poor sweet child. He can be so angry. He thinks he knows everything, doesn't he?

Sebastian She got legs, ya idiot!

Ursula That was close. Too close. I don't get it. I didn't think that little barracuda stood a chance luring him in without her voice. How's that even possible? Well, we're not gonna let that happen again. It's time Ursula took matters into her own tentacles.

Prince Eric It was you all along. I should have known. I don't know what came over me.

Vanessa Heroism's too strong a word for it, but I suppose I did save Eric. That's what anyone would do.

Ursula So long, lover boy!
