Ariel: [referring to Eric] You don't even know him!
King Triton: Know him? I don't have to know him! They're all the same: spineless, savage, harpooning fish-eaters, incapable of any feeling!
Ariel: Daddy, I love him!
King Triton: No! Have you lost your senses completely? He's a human, you're a mermaid!
Ariel: I don't care!

Ariel: If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again.
Ursula: That's right. But you'll have your man. Life's full of tough choices, innit?

King Triton: Ariel, how many times must we go through this? You could've been seen by one of those barbarians! By... by one of those... humans!
Ariel: Daddy, they're not barbarians!
King Triton: They are dangerous! Do you think I want to see my youngest daughter snared by some fish-eater's hook?

King Triton: Well, I guess there's just one problem left.
Sebastian: And what's that, your majesty?
King Triton: How much I'm going to miss her...

Scuttle: I haven't seen this in years, this is wonderful.
Ariel: What is it?
Scuttle: A banded, bulbous snarfblatt.
Ariel, Flounder: Ooooooh.
Scuttle: Now the snarfblatt dates back to prehysterical times when humans used to sit around and stare at each other all day. Got very boring. So they invented this snarfblatt to make fine music.

[Ariel and Scuttle see Eric.]
Ariel: I've never seen a human this close before. Oh - he's very handsome, isn't he?
[Scuttle looks at Eric's dog.]
Scuttle: I dunno, he looks kinda hairy and slobbery to me.

[Last lines] I love you, Daddy.

[Singing] Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
Wouldn't ya think my collection's complete
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
Girl who has everything
Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around you'd think
Sure, she's got everything
I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I have whoosits and whatsis galore
You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty
But who cares? No big deal
I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see/Wanna see 'em dancing
Walking around on those
Whaddya call 'em
Oh... feet
Flipping your fins
You don't get too far
Legs are required
For jumping
Dancing
Stroolin' along down a...
What's that word again
Oh... street
Up where the walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wandering 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?
Betcha' on land they understand that they don't repremand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
I'm 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. Part of Your World

[singing] On land it's much preferred for ladies not to say a word.

Come in. Come in, my child. We mustn't lurk in doorways- it's rude. One might question your upbringing.

Don't be such a guppy.

Flounder, will you relax? Nothing is going to happen.

He's very handsome isn't he?
