Watch it!
(MEN GROANING)
More harpoons!
Ready the nets, men!
I say kill her ‘afore she comes aboard!
Where is she? Let me see!
Wait. Wait. Wait.
(GRUNTS)
(ALL GROAN)
She’s a fast one.
Hand me another!
HAWKINS: She’s getting away!
MULLIGAN: I think she’s smilin’ at you.
(WATER SPLASHES)
(MEN GROAN)
MAN 1: I missed her.
Another one.
MAN 2: Come on, another one!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Move! Move! Get back!
What are you doing?
It’s a mermaid!
A mermaid?
Use your eyes!
What were you thinking?
These are dangerous waters.
And this is a dangerous time.
Tonight’s the Coral Moon.
They say this is when the Sea King calls his mermaid daughters together to lure men to their deaths.
Is that what they say?
Aye.
Not even the strongest can resist their spell.
It’s just an old lore.
(MEN GRUNT)
Back to work!
MAN 3: Come on, lads.
You see there?
See what, Hawkins?
Crosswind gust kicked up the chop, that’s all.
That’s the Sea King’s doing.
Give me a hand, mate.
He’d pull us under himself if he could.
MAN 4: Sail faster!
MAN 5: Raising the main!
MAN 6: This line’s tight.
Where’s Prince Eric?
Up at the bow, Sir Grimsby.
(SIGHS IN ANNOYANCE)
Whoo!
Eric!
(ERIC CHUCKLES)
What are you doing out there?
Get back here at once!
You ought to stop worrying so much about me, Grimsby.
(CHUCKLES)
GRIMSBY: Call me selfish, but I do not want to tell the Queen that her son fell overboard on my watch.
And on his birthday, of all days.
Looks like there’s a Spanish galleon out there headed toward the mainland.
We could follow it to port, see what they’ve brought to trade.
Our ship is loaded to the gills as it is.
We’ve risked our necks out here for seven weeks already.
We’re going home tonight.
Eric.
Pay attention.
(CHUCKLES)
I need you to be more careful.
(GRIMSBY GASPS)
(CHUCKLING)
ERIC: Careful, Grimsby!

My Daughters of the Seven Seas, I welcome news from all of your waters.
Tamika, Perla,
it’s so good to see you.
Caspia, Indira, it fills my heart to have you all here.
Mala, Karina…
Where is Ariel?
(FOOTSTEPS TAPPING)
Sebastian?
(SEBASTIAN GRUNTS)
You were supposed to see to it that Ariel was here.
(GROANS) I tried, Your Majesty, but that child, she is impossible.
(INHALES SHARPLY) I reminded her about the gathering just this mornin’.
What more can one crustacean do?
You can go find her.
Yes, Your Majesty.
Yes.
Right away.
(MOCKINGLY) “Yes, Your Majesty.
“Right away, Your Majesty.”
How hard can it be to find a mermaid, after all?
If I’m lucky, I’ll only have to search one ocean.
(SIGHS) Where are you, child?
(CAPTIVATING MUSIC PLAYING)
(VOCALIZING MELODY)
(GASPS)
We aren’t supposed to be this far from the palace, Ariel.
Let’s go back.
ARIEL: Oh!
How does that work?
Come on, Ariel. Please?
Oh, Flounder, stop being such a guppy!
I’m not a guppy.
(OMINOUS MUSIC PLAYS)
(FLOUNDER BREATHING HEAVILY)
I think we’ve gone far enough.
ARIEL: Wait.
What is that?
I’ve never seen that one.
Come on.
Ariel! Wait for me!
You know I can’t swim that fast.
(MYSTERIOUS MUSIC PLAYING)
Whoa. Look at all that.
They must have used the ship for battles or something.
Yeah, great.
Now let’s get out of here.
Getting cold fins?
Who, me?
No way.
Good.
Then you can stay out here and watch for sharks.
All right, good.
What?
Ariel, wait!
(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)
(CREAKING)
FLOUNDER: Do you really think there might be sharks around here?
Oh, Flounder.
Look at this.
Whoa.
It’s the smallest trident I’ve ever seen.
(IN DEEP VOICE) I’m King Flounder,
Lord of the Seven Seas!
(CHUCKLES)
I wonder why a human would need one that size.
I bet Scuttle will know.
She always does.
(GASPS)
Will you relax?
It’s just your reflection.
Whew.
ARIEL: Calm down.
Nothing is going to happen.
Flounder, look out!
(FLOUNDER SHOUTS)

(ARIEL GASPS)
(ARIEL PANTING)

(FLOUNDER GRUNTING)
(GASPS)
Flounder!
(GRUNTS)
(GASPING)
(PANTING)
(FLOUNDER PANTING)
You okay, Flounder?
Uh, sure. I mean, (PANTS) I’ve seen bigger sharks.
Just, you know, you can’t back down.
You gotta show ’em who’s in… (SHOUTS)
(ARIEL LAUGHS)
Come back, Flounder. It’s just Scuttle.
(PLAYFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
Ariel. Hey, kid, how ya doin’?
Don’t mind me, I was just grabbin’ a snack.
Scuttle, we found more treasure.
Yeah. We went into this sunken ship, and it was really creepy.
Human stuff. Aha.
All right, all right, let me see.
Let… Let… Let me see.
Any idea what this is?
Oh. Oh, oh, oh!
Wow.
This…
This is… Yeah.
This is very, very unusual.
What? What is it?
It’s a… (CLEARS THROAT)
It’s a dinglehopper.
A dinglehopper.
Yeah. Yeah.
Humans use these babies to style their hair.
You just give it a little twirl, a little yank, you might get some pieces with it, and you’re left with an artistically pleasing conflagration of hair that humans go nuts for.
Really? I would love to see that.
Can’t.
Flounder.
You know it’s true.
Your father still won’t let you go to the surface, huh?
No, it’s forbidden.
He thinks all humans are barbarians.
Oh, they’re not so bad.
Unless you’re a coconut.
They hate coconuts.
I swear, they get a hold of one,
they smash it to pieces, just like that. It’s weird.
And what’s this?
SEBASTIAN: Ariel!
(ARIEL GASPS)
Swam half across
a whole ocean lookin’ for this child. Ariel!
Ow!
ARIEL: Sebastian!
Sorry about that!
SEBASTIAN: Ariel!
What are you doin’ up there?
Wasting your time with this knownothing bird
that can’t tell swimmin’ from flyin’?
Hey!
I suppose you’ve completely
forgotten tonight’s the Coral Moon?
Oh, no!
(MOCKINGLY) Oh, yes!
The gatherin’ of King Triton’s daughters,
minus one.
(SHUDDERS) My father’s gonna kill me!
Sorry, Scuttle, gotta go!
Yeah, yeah.
All right, sweetie. Me too.
Gotta get some air.
(MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING)
(LOW SNARLING AND CHITTERING)
(EERIE MUSIC PLAYS)
WOMAN: Yes, hurry home, Princess.
We wouldn’t want to be late
for Daddy’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.
(SCREECHING)
Oh, the feasts we had when I lived in the palace!
(SLURPING)
(CHUCKLES, SPITS)
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 merbrats
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.
TRITON: It is irresponsible.
Your sisters are only here
for one phase of the Coral Moon.
Can you imagine any one of them
missing the gathering?
ARIEL: No. You’re right.
I’m sorry.
It wasn’t Ariel’s fault.
We… We… We were exploring, and a shark chased us and…
Shark?
So, you went to the shipwrecks again?
Those waters are dangerous.
You don’t have to worry about me.
Well, I do worry, my little one. I do worry.
This obsession with humans has to stop.
I just want to know more about them.
You know all you need to know.
I barely know anything.
You won’t even let us go to the surface.
Why do you have to be so strongminded?
Just like your mother. It…
I am her daughter.
Yes, foolish enough to be taken
with the human world.
If you would just try to understand…
Well, I have tried.
I have tried to understand you long enough.
But as long as you live in my ocean,
you’ll obey my rules.
Do you understand that?
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)
Children, you give them an inch,
they swim all over you.
(SIGHS)
Was I too hard on her?
Definitely not.
It’s like I always say,
“Children got to live by their parent’s rules.”
You’re absolutely right, Sebastian.
SEBASTIAN: Hmm.
My Ariel needs constant supervision.
Constant.
Someone to watch over her.
All the time, day and night.
And you’re just the crab to do it.
I am just the crab to…
No, wait, that’s not… What?
No, see, I serve you, Your Majesty,
as your honored majordomo.
There is no better way you can serve me
than to make sure my little one
stays out of trouble.
But I…
TRITON: Yes?
Go.
Go.
Yes, Your Majesty.
How do I get myself into these situations?
I’m an educated crustacean.
I got options.
I don’t need this.
I should be advising the King,
not chasing after some headstrong teenager.
(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)
(CAPTIVATING MUSIC PLAYING)
FLOUNDER: Ariel, are you okay?
He doesn’t even hear me.
I’m just not like him.
I don’t see things the way he does.
And I…
I don’t see how a world that makes
such wonderful things could be so bad.
(SINGING) 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 ev’rything?
Look at this trove Treasures untold
How many wonders Can one cavern hold?
Looking around here You’d think
Sure, she’s got ev’rything
I’ve got gadgets And gizmos aplenty
I’ve got “who’s its” And “what’s its” galore
You want thingamabobs?
I got 20
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
I wanna be Where the people are
I wanna see Wanna see ’em dancing
Walkin’ around on those…
What do you call ’em? Oh! Feet!
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?
What would I pay
To spend a day Warm on the sand?
Bet ya 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
(SHUDDERS)
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

MAN 2: Oh, let’s have a dance, aye.
MAN 3: Oh, come on. It’s his birthday.
(MEN CHUCKLE)
Oh, come on, Grimsby.
What’s wrong with me having a little fun?
Everyone else is.
You, sire, are not everyone else.
It’s time you separated yourself
from the rest of the crew.
Oh, but I’m one of them.
And behave in a manner
more becoming of a future king.
You mean, be more like my father was?
Cut off from the rest of the world.
GRIMSBY: Oh, Eric, you know what I mean.
When you came to us 21 years ago,
the King and Queen took you in
and treated you as one of their own.
Now that you’ve come of age…
ERIC: Max.
(DOG SNIFFING)
Max!
What are you doing over there? Come here, boy!
Come on. Come on.
Go on.
GRIMSBY: And now that you have come of age,
your responsibilities are at home.
Your father would have expected that.
Yes, trapped inside that castle
in isolation and fear.
I can’t do it.
GRIMSBY: I believe a little fear may be advisable, sire.
Grimsby, you’re not listening.
I want to be a different kind of leader.
That’s the whole reason we’re on this voyage,
don’t you see?
We have to stay open to what’s out here.
That’s the only way our island can grow.
GRIMSBY: Eric, think what you risk.
I can’t explain it, Grims.
It’s in my blood.
Even now, I…
I feel there’s something out here calling to me.

Ahh! Get off me, you fool!
Oh, hey. Didn’t expect to find you here.
And I really didn’t expect to find her here.
Uhuh. Hey. You listen to me, bird.
The King can never hear of this.
We are going to forget this ever happened.
Ow!
Are you listenin’ to me?
Yes.
You won’t tell him, I won’t tell him,
and I will stay in one piece. You got it?
Got it. Sorry, what’d you say again?
I’m a dead crab.
(ARIEL VOCALIZING MELODY)
(SINGING) 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?

MAN 3: Back to the castle.
MAN 5: Go ahead.
MAN 6: Go, let’s go!
MAN 3: Let’s go.
(SINGING) I don’t know when
I don’t know how
But I know something’s Starting right now
Watch and you’ll see
Someday I’ll be
Part of your world
URSULA: No.
No, it’s too easy. (LAUGHS)
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.
(CHUCKLES) That little girl’s gonna run straight
into my tentacles. (CHUCKLES)
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: (PANTING) All right.
Okay.
As long as the King never finds out,
everything will be all right.
He never has to know she used
that precious siren song of hers to save a human.
I just have to find Ariel and get her back home.
Now, uh,
she was around here somewhere.
Ahha. Ah, yeah, this must be it.
I just have to be firm with her,
get her to see that this is all just a passing fad
and in time, she’ll forget all about him. (GASPS)
Ariel!
Sebastian, how did you find me?
What is all of this?
What are you doin’ with that…
that thing?
Isn’t it beautiful?
Look at the longing in his eyes.
What you know about longin’?
What is he doin’ here?
It’s from the shipwreck.
I found him at Merman’s Reef.
And I’ll bet there’s so much more.
SEBASTIAN: No, no! Ariel!
Child, get back here.
Ariel!
You have to let go of this obsession with humans.
(CHUCKLES) I’m not obsessed.
SEBASTIAN: I may be crusty, but I’m not blind.
I saw you the night of the shipwreck.
What?
Your father wants you to stay
as far away from them as possible!
But why?
You know why.
We don’t have to be afraid of them, I know that now.
Sebastian, if you had just seen it up there.
The ship rode on the wind,
and they filled the sky with fire.
Okay, okay. Listen to me.
The human world is a mess.
Life under the sea is better
than anything they got goin’ on up there.
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
(SINGING) 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 Surround 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’

SEBASTIAN: Hey, Ariel?
Somebody got to nail that girl’s fins to the floor.
(END CHORD REPEATS)
(STIRRING MUSIC PLAYING)
THE QUEEN: Oh, don’t tell me Eric is still going on
about this girl who rescued him.
GRIMSBY: I’m afraid so.
THE QUEEN: And the shipwreck. Any casualties?
GRIMSBY: None, Your Majesty.
Well, thank goodness no lives were lost.
Indeed.
This restless nature of his, it concerns me.
Undertaking these dangerous voyages.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
Oh, Eric, sit.
Any sign of that girl yet, Grimsby?
THE QUEEN: Have some breakfast, please.
Uh, we looked, sire.
There was no girl.
You were lucky to have made it to shore
before you passed out.
She was real. She saved my life.
THE QUEEN: Sit down, Eric.
I’m not hungry, Mother.
I’m worried about you.
You’ve not been yourself since the shipwreck.
Have you checked the neighboring islands?
Not all of them, but…
Then I will.
No, you will not.
You’re not leaving this castle until you’re feeling better.
I’ll feel better when I find her.
THE QUEEN: Do not think you’re using
this girl as an excuse to run off again,
risking your life on some trade ship
for the sheer adventure.
“Sheer adventure”?
I’m trying to reach out to other cultures,
so we don’t get left behind.
Did you know on this last trip
we traded our cane for 20 cases of quinine?
They use it in Europe to treat malaria.
And where are those 20 cases now?
At the bottom of the sea.
How many shipwrecks have there been
in our waters this year, Prime Minister?
Uh, six, Your Majesty.
Did you hear that, Eric?
Of course, I did.
Shipwrecks, hurricanes,
the sea gods are against us.
How many times do I have to…
They are eroding our land from under us,
stealing it back into the ocean.
They would kill us all if they could.
That’s ridiculous.
Is it?
May I remind you, that a deadly shipwreck
first brought you to us.
And now, I almost lost you to one the other day.
We cannot keep tempting fate like this.
It has got to stop.
Well, what does that mean?
It means that…
(SIGHS)
that your responsibilities are here now.
So, no more voyages
and no more chasing after girls who don’t exist.
(SIGHS)
(DISTRESSING MUSIC PLAYING)
(ARIEL VOCALIZING SIREN SONG IN DISTANCE)
ERIC: (SINGING) All I ever wanted
Was the open sea and sky
Freedom from the life I always knew
Now, all I am is haunted As days and hours roll by
All I ever think about is you
There you are
(ARIEL VOCALIZING)
Over me
Taking me with your song
To wild uncharted waters
Miles beyond the sea
I was darkness bound
I had almost drowned
Till you came around And you found me
Now I am on the shoreline
But I’m still lost at sea
In these wild uncharted waters Come find me
Again
All I do is wonder
Who you are And where you’ll be
In my mind Your melody goes on
Stronger than the undertow The night you rescued me
Silhouetted by the rising dawn
Oh, ohoh
(ARIEL VOCALIZING)
Over you
I cannot get over you
In wild uncharted waters
Beyond where man can see
When your eyes outshine The horizon line
And you’re finally real Here beside me
Now I’m right here On the shoreline
I’m right where you left me
And your voice is like
A siren that guides me
To wild uncharted waters
Alone, just you and me
And I hope you’re there In the open air
There’s no map or compass To guide me, no
Time may change the shoreline
But time will not change me
If it takes my life
I will finally find you again
In uncharted waters
Come find me
Again
(MEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)
(ARIEL VOCALIZING SIREN SONG)
MALA: Ariel, could you give me a hand?
(CONTINUES VOCALIZING)
Ariel!
Oh. Yes, of course.
CASPIA: How do we untangle this?
Do these humans have any idea
how much damage their shipwrecks do?
I don’t think they intended to have a shipwreck.
CASPIA: They are careless, Ariel.
It will take thousands of years
for this coral to grow back.
And they’ve killed nearly all of the sea fern.
They’d kill us too, if they had the chance.
No, no. They’re not all like that.
PERLA: Oh? How would you know?
You’ve never even seen one.
You were just a child when Mother died,
and Father stopped us going to the surface.
I just mean, we’re not all the same,
so why should humans be?
TRITON: What about humans?
I… I just meant…
Look at what their shipwreck did.
They got what they deserved.
They are the most dangerous species of all.
Spoiling our waters,
destroying the reefs,
having no respect for the balance of the oceans.
They’re not the only ones
who have no respect for balance.
Ariel, where are you…
What’s going on with her?
Oh, she’s just at that age
when she doesn’t want to hang out
with her older sisters anymore.
Exactly. You remember what I was like.
(SISTERS LAUGH)
PERLA: How could we forget?
INDIRA: Well, I wonder who the lucky merman is.

(MISCHIEVOUS MUSIC PLAYS)
(SEBASTIAN SIGHS)
Breathe, Sebastian.
Remember, guilty is as guilty acts.
Don’t overreact, remain calm.
(IN HIGHPITCHED VOICE) Yes? (CLEARS THROAT)
(IN NORMAL VOICE) Yes, Your Majesty?
Sebastian,
have you noticed
that Ariel has been acting peculiar lately?
Peculiar, sir?
Mmhmm. Distracted, daydreaming,
disappearing for hours.
You haven’t noticed?
Oh… Well, I, um…
(DRAMATIC CHORD PLAYS)
Uh…
Uh, I actually haven’t, you know, um…
that is to say, I didn’t, um…
(SHUSHING)
Sebastian…
Eh?
I know you’ve been keeping something from me.
Keepin’ somethin’?
Mmhmm.
About Ariel.
Ariel?
Is my little one in love?
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYS)
Oh, I tried to stop her, sir!
I tried to stop her from going to the surface!
I told her to stay away from humans!
Humans?
When I saw her
with that statue, I… Humans?
Who said anything about humans?
(PLEASANT MUSIC PLAYING)
ARIEL: Let’s just drop these things off and go back.
FLOUNDER: No way!
ARIEL: With all that great stuff still down there?
FLOUNDER: Don’t we have enough already?
ARIEL: (SCOFFS) Come on, Flounder.
We’re just getting started.
TRITON: So…
(ARIEL GASPS)
(OBJECT CLATTERS)
You broke the rules?
You went to the above world.
(BREATHING SHAKILY)
There was a shipwreck.
A man was drowning. I had to save him.
You should have let him drown.
They’re savages.
You don’t know that.
They killed your mother.
I know.
But…
one man did.
Why blame every human?
Mother wouldn’t.
No!
Enough. That’s enough.
ARIEL: And Eric had nothing to do with it.
Eric?
Eric?
Have you lost your senses completely?
If you would have just heard him, Father.
He’s compassionate and kind and…
He’s a human!
You’re a mermaid!
Yes.
But that doesn’t make us enemies.
Promise me you will never look for him again.
I can’t.
Promise me, Ariel!
I can’t lie to you. I won’t.
I swear, I will get through to you!
No!
Please!
Father, stop.
This ends now!
Please, stop it!
It’s for your own good.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Father, no!
(ARIEL WHIMPERING)

Poor sweet child.
He can be so angry.
He thinks he knows everything.
Who are you?
URSULA: Oh. You must not remember me.
I’m your Auntie Ursula.
The Sea Witch?
The what? (SCOFFS)
What has your father told you about me?
That…
That you like to stir up trouble
between humans and merpeople.
URSULA: Oh. Is that what he said?
I’m not half the monster he claims I am.
And I’m only here to help.
I don’t need your help.
Whatever you say, darling.
(EERIE HISSING)

Yes?
How can you help me?

URSULA: Come in.
Come in, child.
We mustn’t lurk in passageways.
It’s rude.
Forgive my aggressive garden.
I wouldn’t choose to live like this, believe me.
Daddy’s been so unfair to both of us,
controlling everything we say and do.
In a way, we’re the same, you and I.
You don’t seem at all like Father described you.
Is that right?
Mmm. We never did get along.
Squidling rivalry.
He always got what he wanted, and what did I get? Nothin’.
Zip, nada, squat.
Sound familiar, hon? (CHUCKLES)
Oh, I know what you’re going through, believe me,
and I know why you’re here.
I’m not sure I do.
Oh, please.
(GASPS)
I’ve been watching you for a long time now, dearie.
What you really want is to be up there
in the above world.
It’s always had your curiosity,
and now it’s got your heart.
What do you mean?
(URSULA CHUCKLES)
URSULA: You’re so young.
Don’t you see?
You’re meant for each other.
And I can’t bear to see you suffer like this.
As it happens, I can help you.
How?
Mmm, the problem is simple.
You can’t live in that world, unless…
you become a human yourself.
Become human?
Is that even possible?
Oh, my dear. (CHUCKLES)
It’s what I do.
(POPS LIPS)
It’s what I live for.
(PLAYFUL JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)
(SINGING) 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
The Sea Witch!
Shh.
So, here’s the deal.
I’ll whip up a little potion
to make you human for three days.
Got that?
Three days.
Before the sun sets on the third day,
you and Princey must share a kiss.
And not just any kiss.
The kiss of true love.
(MOANS)
If you do, you will remain human permanently.
But if you don’t,
you’ll turn back into a mermaid,
and you belong to me.
No, Ariel!
Shh.
(BOTH HISS)
URSULA: You understand, of course,
that you’ll have to give up your mermaid gifts.
You won’t have this tail of yours,
hangin’ around, draggin’ you down.
You won’t be able to breathe underwater, who needs it?
And you’ll no longer have that siren song of yours,
because that wouldn’t be fair, now would it?
Don’t worry.
I’ll keep it safe and soundless here with me.
We got a deal?
(DRAMATIC CHORD PLAYS)
I don’t know.
Well…
I mean, I just gave you the premium package, kid.
Well…
life’s full of tough choices, idn’t?
No.
This is wrong. I can’t do this.
Fine then, forget about the world above.
Go back home to Daddy
and “Never leave again!”
(GASPS)
(SINGING) 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 The bridge, my sweet
You’ve got to pay the toll
Pluck a scale From off your tail
A drop of blood Inside the bowl!
Flotsam, Jetsam Now I’ve got her, boys
For boss is on a roll!
This poor unfortunate…

Well, come on, gal.
It’s either sink or swim.
(EELS SNARLING AND CHITTERING)
Don’t worry, boys.
She doesn’t stand a chance without this.
A mermaid without her voice?
(LAUGHS)
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.
(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYS)
Hmm.
SEBASTIAN: Not so easy without your tail, is it?
(ARIEL PANTING)
Keep going.
You just got to get your sea legs.
We’re almost there.

Say, what’s goin’ on, kid?
I thought you weren’t supposed to be up here, now you’re taking boat rides?
FLOUNDER: That… That… That rotten Sea Witch, she stole Ariel’s voice.
SCUTTLE: Hey, Flounder.
What… What are you talkin’ about?
So, Sebastian told Triton that Ariel saved a human and Triton got so mad.
Okay, okay, okay.
And then… Wait!
Explanations later, man.
We’ve gotta get you out of here.
Wait! I didn’t tell you about the Sea Witch!
Byebye. And don’t tell anyone about the Sea Witch!
Something about you seems different.
Don’t tell me.
It’s your hairdo, right?
‘Cause you’ve been using the dinglehopper? No?
I can’t… I can’t quite figure it out,
but I know that if I stand here for long enough…
She got legs, ya idiot!
You know, we’ve discussed this.
I don’t like it when you call me an idiot.
Why don’t you tell me somethin’ nice?
“Hey, Scuttle.
“Your feathers look good.”
JOSHUA: Shoo!
(SCUTTLE SQUAWKS)
Here you are.
It’ll have to do for now.
I’ll take you to the castle.
They’ll know what to do with you there.
Come on, in ya go.

JOSHUA: It looks good, though.
It looks raw. (CHUCKLES)

Got plenty of fish for two weeks.
(CHATTER CONTINUES)
WOMAN 2: Hey!
ARIEL: (SINGING) Look at the sun and the sky
And the sand and the sea Behind me
Look at me, suddenly I am On land and I’m free
Don’t mind me as I climb For the first time
Jump for the first time
Trying to stand
But this gravity’s Pulling me down
(JOSHUA URGING HORSE)
Walk on, Emile.
Trot on!
Trot on!
Get Lashana, quick!
MAN: Righto!
LASHANA: What is all this?
What on Earth?
The girl got tangled in the net.
She all right?
She’ll survive.
But she’s been through it, though.
Won’t say a word.
I wonder what happened to her out there.
ARIEL: (SINGING) Look, it’s a fire
It’s warm and it glows
And it lights this chamber
Let me admire it Ow!
Get too close and it bites
I came too close For the first time
Burned for the first time
Everything’s clearer And brighter and hotter
But now that I’m here Like a fish out of water
I’m trying to stand
But this gravity’s Pulling me down
LASHANA: Oh, my! Heavens.
Here, let me take you upstairs, get you cleaned up, find you some clothes.
Okay, up we go, one step at a time.
(ARIEL GASPS)
She can’t speak at all?
Can you blame her, Rosa?
After all she’s been through,
it’s a blessing she’s not worse off.
Such a faraway look in her eye.
Bit of a soap and a scrub, she’ll be good as new.
ARIEL: (SINGING) Are we only
Food for slaughter?
Is this life on land?
LASHANA: Child, the blue dress that’s in your room.
ARIEL: Well, you were lonely Under water
Come on, Ariel, time to stand
(GASPING)
LASHANA: There you go. Smells nice, doesn’t it?
Oh, no, you poor girl.
You must be starvin’.
Rosa, get this poor child some food.
And quick, before she tries to eat the scrub brush.
Yes, ma’am.
Right.
Let’s get that seaweed stink off you, girl.
Yes.
(AMUSING MUSIC PLAYING)
ARIEL: (SINGING) Squeeze in the shoes
And the corset, it’s tight
And the seams are busting
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Some women choose this I guess it’s all right
Are my dreams adjusting
LASHANA: Hard to believe, two shipwrecks in one week.
Prince Eric’s still looking for that girl who saved him.
Said he won’t rest until he finds her.
Stay right there. I’ll get the Prince.
ARIEL: (SINGING) As I wait for the first time
Here for the first time
Now, for the first time
He’s coming Through those doors
Up the stairs
From the shore
From that moment
And he’ll smile
Like he knows
When I say
(BREATH TREMBLES)
ERIC: I’m so sorry to hear what happened.
What’s your name?
She doesn’t speak, sire.
She…
Oh.
Well, we’re glad you’ve made it to us.
Do you have a place to stay?
Family?
Well, then you’re welcome to stay here.
For as long as you like.
Make sure she has anything she needs.
LASHANA: Yes, Your Highness.
(BREATH TREMBLES)
We should let you get some rest.
(DOOR CLOSES)
ARIEL: (SINGING) Realize The price that you paid
With your voice
As he turns from you
Those sacrifices you made
Were a choice That you can’t undo
Lost
For the first time
Scared
For the first time
Gravity feels like an undertow
Pulling me
Down
SEBASTIAN: This has got to be, without a doubt, the single most humiliating day of my life!
I could have been fricasseed, and then, having to climb all the way up here.
They couldn’t give you a room on the ground floor?
(SEBASTIAN GRUNTS, PANTING)
I hope you appreciate what I go through for you, young lady.
Eh, no.
Don’t ya turn your back on me. What were you thinkin’, choosin’ to give up your mermaid gifts?
Now, if we could just get that witch to give them back, then you could go home and just be… uh, well, and just be… just be miserable for the rest of your life.
Oh, my, what a soft shell I am turnin’ out to be.
All right. All right.
I’ll try to help you. But we’ve got to be bold, act quickly.
Don’t forget about the kiss.
Ah, no, no, not me, the Prince!
You gotta kiss the Prince.
Don’t you remember?
You only have three days to…
Hello?
Oh, no! She’s put a spell on you.
(YAWNS)
You can’t remember, can you?
(SIGHS) Now, what are we gonna do?
Well, we got no time to lose.
We just got to find a way to get the two of you together.
(SIGHS)
You are hopeless, child.
You know that?
Completely hopeless.
(ROUSING MUSIC PLAYING)
(GRUNTING)
Ooh. A buffet.
(MUNCHING)
What? No nuts?
(SEBASTIAN GROANS)
What are you doin’ here?
Oh, there you are. I’ve been lookin’ for you.
Flounder told me the whole story.
Has Ariel killed the Prince yet?
No, not “killed.”
“Kissed,” ya bird brain.
And it’s worse than we thought.
The witch has placed a spell on her.
Soon as I tell her she’s got to kiss him, the thought jumps clear right out of her head.
So, now it’s up to us.
To kiss the Prince?
(SIGHS) Forget it.
Where’s Ariel now?
What do ya mean? She’s right…
Oh.

ERIC: Who’s in here?
Oh, it’s you.
Nobody usually comes in here.
My little mermaid.
(GASPS)
It’s all right, it’s all right.
You can look at it.
I found her on the coast of Cartagena. 
Isn’t she beautiful?
Oh, that’s right. You…
Well, it really doesn’t matter.
Most people around here use too many words and have nothing to say.
You know, 
I never believed all that lore about mermaids luring sailors to their deaths.
Here, take her.
No, really. I want you to have her.
I’m running out of space as it is.
Nearly all of these things come from my voyages.
I know it must seem silly, collecting all this stuff, but just look at this fossilized sea stone.
Can you believe that such amazing things exist down there?
No, wait!
How did you know that was in there… all this time?
That’s incredible.
Well, that.
SEBASTIAN: Hey, girl.
That I just picked up from the beach here on the island.
(GRUNTS) There’s loads of them at this time of year.
(ARIEL BLOWING CONCH)
I had no idea you could do that.
Oh, me?
No… Oh.
Really?
All right, hand…
How do I…
Yeah, that’s it.
That’s it, girl.
Go get it, go get it.
(BLOWS)
I see ya.
Go on, come now… (GROANS)
(BLOWING RASPBERRY)
(CHUCKLES) Sorry.
Yeah, well…
I’ll work on that.
I love the people there.
Their culture, their custom.
This whole region is known as the Brazilian Empire.
Then there’s Venezuela,
uh, Colombia…
Oh, the area up here is called Mosquito Coast.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Those waters are all uncharted.
Wouldn’t it be amazing to discover someplace no one’s ever seen before?
Ah. Well, this… this was one of my favorite voyages.
I bought that Peruvian rug there, along with six of the looms they used to make it.
Oh.
Another one. (CHUCKLES) All right.
Ah. This is our island.
We’re in that very castle right now.
Over here’s our main village.
Now, our port there was once the busiest in the region.
I’m hoping it will be again one day.
And there’s a beautiful lagoon with a little waterfall right here.
And then all of that is rainforest.
I could show you around, if you like.
All right.
We’ll go tomorrow.
GRIMSBY: But, sire…
ERIC: Oh, Grimsby, good.
We’ll need a horse and carriage ready for us in the morning.
May I have a quiet word, sire?
Of course.
He’s a special one, isn’t he?
And that moonlight. Ah…
We were going to send out all the carriages tomorrow
to look for the girl.
The girl! I wasn’t thinking.
Of course, yes, we must do that. Absolutely.
And I must remind you, Eric, what your mother said yesterday about you not leaving the castle until you’re feeling better.
Grimsby, I feel fine.
I feel better than ever.
Yes.
Yes, I can see that.
I suppose we could spare one carriage.

(CHUCKLES) I still got it.
Who is that ridin’ out with Prince Eric?
Is that the girl who washed up the other day?
Yes, it is, Lashana.
Didn’t the Queen tell him to stay in the castle?
Yes, she did, Lashana.
Aren’t you going to get into trouble for fetching him a carriage?
What carriage, Lashana?

Ariel cannot know we’re helpin’.
If she sees or hears us, she’ll shut us down.
Nah, man. We got to be sneaky about this.
We got to work on the Prince using the power of suggestion.

(ELECTRICITY BUZZING)
(ERIC LAUGHING AND PANTING)
(EELS CHITTER)
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.
Where is it?
Come on, come on. It’s gotta be here somewhere.
No! No! (EXCLAIMS)
Nobody ever puts my things back!
No! Where is it?
(SHOUTING IN FRUSTRATION)
(GRUNTS) No, no, no!
(SCREAMING) No!
Oh, there it is.
I got it. (CHUCKLES DRYLY)
That Prince won’t know what hit him. (CHUCKLES)
Only one more sunset and then I’ll make Triton writhe.
(CONCOCTION SPLASHES, BUBBLES)

TRITON: So where is she?
KARINA: We don’t know, Father.
PERLA: She’s gone.
TRITON: What do you mean, she’s gone?
PERLA: We’ve been looking and looking.
There’s no sign of her anywhere.
She’s not in these waters.
Then look again.
Search all of the Seven Seas if you have to.
Ariel wouldn’t dare go above again.
PERLA: Don’t even think such a thing.
MALA: Doesn’t make sense. Why would she leave?
PERLA: I… I have no idea.
Never mind that. Just find her.

ERIC: (WHISPERING) Everyone’s asleep.
We should probably be quiet.
THE QUEEN: In his room, all day?
ERIC: Wait.
Go. Oh, no.
THE QUEEN: I haven’t seen him once.
Go, go. Go in there. Go. Careful.
I imagine he’s just resting.
Has he been avoiding me?
No, Your Majesty.
No?
No.
No?
No.
THE QUEEN: You seem awfully certain.
GRIMSBY: Avoiding you?
Doesn’t seem like Eric, does it?
THE QUEEN: Then where is he?
Oh, he’s not searching for that fantasy girl, I hope.
No, Your Majesty.
That I can say with certainty.
THE QUEEN: Thank heavens for small blessings.
(YELPS) Oh!
(GRIMSBY GRUNTS)
It’s wet.
I will look into it.
You really must get some rest yourself.
THE QUEEN: Yes, I suppose I should.
Thank you, Grimsby. Good night.
GRIMSBY: Ma’am.
Sorry about that.
I wasn’t supposed to leave the castle today.
But I’m glad I did.
All these rules…
The truth is, I wasn’t born to all this, and it all makes me feel a little uneasy…
Welcome back, sire.
Oh, Grimsby.
Uh… (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)
(CLEARS THROAT) Uh…
I trust you two had a pleasant outing.
Uh, yes, we did. Didn’t we?
Yes. Very nice.
You’ve had a long day, Miss.
I imagine we should let you get some sleep.
And perhaps dried off as well.
Oh, uh… Yes.
We… We took a rowboat out onto the lagoon, and I’m afraid we ended up in it.
(ERIC AND GRIMSBY CHUCKLE)
Anyway, good night.
Oh.
Good night…
Ariel.
About the carriages, sire, I’m afraid they, uh, didn’t find the mystery girl.
They didn’t?
Oh. (CHUCKLES DRYLY)
May I then ask, should we continue the search?
Grimsby, um…
I just…
I feel a little…
Well, if you want the advice of an old man, sire, don’t be held back by what you think should be.
Think only of what is.
Good night, sire.

It seems you really have found the girl of your dreams after all.
Yes. Quite the surprise, Eric.
What?

You can’t give up so easily.
This all has to be some sort of misunderstanding.
I watched both of you.
You’re meant to be together.
There you are. I’ve been lookin’.
And I… And I thought I found you, ’cause I heard.
But… But then I saw it wasn’t you.
It… It was her!

What are you talkin’ about?
Don’t you get what I’m tellin’ you?

The Prince has been tricked.
That lady who showed up is actually the Sea Witch in disguise.
SEBASTIAN: Are you sure about this?
Of course I’m sure!
Have I ever been wrong?
I mean, like, you know, when it counts?
