Well, I'll give 'em something to celebrate soon enough. Flotsam! Jetsam! I want you to keep an extra close watch on this pretty little daughter of his. She may be the key to Triton's undoing. . . . - from "The Little Mermaid" %% Triton: I just don't know what we're going to do with you, young lady.

You could've been seen by one of those barbarians - by - by one of those humans! - from "The Little Mermaid" %% Ariel: Daddy, they're not barbarians! Triton: They're dangerous. Do you think I want to see my youngest daughter snared by some fish-eater's hook?

Teenagers. . . . They think they know everything. You give them an inch, they swim all over you. - from "The Little Mermaid" %% Triton: Do you, er, think I - I was too hard on her?

Triton: You're absolutely right, Sebastian. Sebastian: Of course. Triton: Ariel needs constant supervision. Sebastian: Constant. Triton: Someone to watch over her - to keep her out of trouble. Sebastian: All the time - Triton: And YOU are just the crab to do it. - from "The Little Mermaid" %% Sebastian: How do I get myself into these situations? I should be writing symphonies - not tagging along after some headstrong teenager. - from "The Little Mermaid" %% Ariel: If only I could make him understand. I just don't see things the way he does.

Look, you're not still sore because I didn't fall for the princess of Glauerhaven, are you? Grimsby: Oh, Eric, it isn't me alone. The entire kingdom wants to see you happily settled down with the right girl. Eric: Well, she's out there somewhere. I just - I just haven't found her yet.

It'll just - bam! - hit me - like lightning. - from "The Little Mermaid" %% Ariel: Is he - dead? Scuttle: [Opens Eric's eyelid] It's hard to say.

I knew it! - from "The Little Mermaid" %% Sebastian: Ariel, stop talking crazy. Ariel: I gotta see him again - tonight! Scuttle knows where he lives. Sebastian: Ariel - please.

I will make you a potion that will turn you into a human for three days. Got that? Three days. Now listen, this is import- ant. Before the sun sets on the third day, you've got to get dear ol' princey to fall in love with you. That is, he's got to kiss you. Not just any kiss - the kiss of true love.

You can't get something for nothing, you know. Ariel: But I don't have any - Ursula: I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a trifle. You'll never even miss it. What I want from you is . . . your voice. Ariel: My voice? Ursula: You've got it, sweetcakes. No more talking, singing, zip. Ariel: But without my voice, how can I - Ursula: You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't underestimate the importance of body language! Ha! - from "The Little Mermaid" %% Ursula: 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? - "Poor Unfortunate Souls", from "The Little Mermaid" %% Ursula: 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 - "Poor Unfortunate Souls", from "The Little Mermaid" %% Ursula: 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 - "Poor Unfortunate Souls", from "The Little Mermaid" %% Ursula: 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 - "Poor Unfortunate Souls", from "The Little Mermaid" %% Eric: The voice.

Jeez, man . . . Scuttle: I knew that. - from "The Little Mermaid" %% Sebastian: Just look at her. On legs. On human legs! My nerves are shot. This is a catastrophe! What would her father say? I'll tell you what her father'd say, he'd say he's gonna kill himself a crab, that's what her father'd say! - from "The Little Mermaid" %% Sebastian: . . . and 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. All right, all right.

[Grimsby lifts his plate's cover to reveal Sebastian cowering in the salad.] Get your mind off - Eric: Easy, Grim, Easy. [Ariel lifts her own plate cover and signals for Sebastian to hide there. Sebastian rushes across while no one is looking.] It's not a bad idea. If she's interested. Well - whaddaya say? Would you like to join me on a tour of my kingdom tomorrow? [Ariel nods vigorously, leaning heavily on her plate's cover.] Grimsby: Wonderful, now let's eat, before this crab wanders off my plate. [He puts his fork down onto a crabless dinner.] - from "The Little Mermaid" (All right, so it's a sight gag.) %% Sebastian: 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. - from "The Little Mermaid" %% Triton: Any sign of them? Seahorse: No, Your Majesty. We've searched everywhere.
