Pat Carroll movie quotes

View Quote (to Melody) You're not the only one with a mother who doesn't understand you. BELIEVE me.

View Quote Oh, wishes do come true. (to sky) SEE THAT, MA? WHO'S YOUR FAVOURITE NOW?!

View Quote One minute you're on top, the next you're sushi. Now is that fair, I ask you?

View Quote 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?

View Quote Ursula: Yes. Hurry home, princess. We wouldn't want to miss old daddy's celebration, huh? Would we? [scoffs] Celebration, indeed. Oh, BAH! In my day, we had fantastical feasts, when I lived in the palace. [eats shrimp] And now, look at me. Wasted away to practically nothing. Banished and exiled and practically starving! While he and his flimsy fish folk celebrate. Well, I'll give 'em something to celebrate soon enough. [to her eels] 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.

View Quote [The scene cuts to the surface.]
[On a tiny island, a storyteller seagull named Scuttle hums a song and looks through his telescope.]
Scuttle: [singing] 1492, dah-de-dum dee-do-do, rum-dim-dim, dee-do-dee-do
[Scuttle sticks his telescope on his head]
Ariel: Scuttle!
Scuttle: [looking through the telescope the wrong way, making Ariel appear farther away, shouting] Whoa! Mermaid off the port bow! Ariel, how you doin' kid?
[Scuttle lowers the telescope to reveal Ariel at wing's length]
Scuttle: Whoa, what a swim!
Ariel: Scuttle - look what we found.
[Ariel pulls up her bag and hands it to Scuttle.]
Flounder: Yeah - we were in this sunken ship - it was really creepy.
Scuttle: Human stuff, huh? Hey, lemme see.
[Scuttle drops an anchor. It catches on his foot and knocks him off his perch. Rummaging through Ariel's bag after stepping over Flounder, he takes out the fork.]
Scuttle: Oh! Oh! Look at this. Wow - this is special - this is very, very unusual.
Ariel: What? What is it?
Scuttle: It's a dinglehopper! Humans use these little babies... '[Scuttle flicks the fork, but catches it] to straighten their hair out.
[Scuttle twirls the fork around his feathers on top of his head.]
Scuttle: See - just a little twirl here an' a yank there and - violee!
[Scuttles feathers go up in a poof.]
Scuttle: You got an aesthetically pleasing configuration of hair that humans go nuts over.
[Scuttle hands the fork back to Ariel.]
Ariel: A dinglehopper!
Flounder: [in reference to the pipe] What about that one?
[Scuttle shows Ariel and Flounder a tobacco pipe]
Scuttle: This, I haven't seen this in years. This is wonderful! A banded, bulbous snarfblatt.
Ariel and Flounder: Oh!
Scuttle: Now, the snarfblatt dates back to pre-hysterical times when humans used to sit around and stare at each other all day. [comes face to face with Ariel] Got very boring. So they invented this snarfblatt to make fine music. Please allow me. [blows into it, only to have seaweed and water come out] Oops.
Ariel: [realizing what Scuttle said] Music?!
Scuttle: [coughs] It's stuffed!
Ariel: Oh, the concert! Oh, my gosh, my Father's gonna kill me!
Flounder: The concert was today?
Scuttle: [inspects the "snarfblatt" further] Maybe you could make a little planter out of it or somethin'.
Ariel: [takes it back] Uh, I'm sorry! I've gotta go! Thank you, Scuttle!
[she and Flounder swim back home]
Scuttle: Anytime, sweetie! Anytime.
Ursula: [watching Ariel from her lair via Flotsam and Jetsam] Yes. Hurry home, Princess. We wouldn't want to miss old Daddy's celebration, huh? Would we? [scoffs] Celebration, indeed. Oh, bah! In my day, we had fantastical feasts, when I lived in the palace. [closeup of her eating a shrimp] Now, look at me. Wasted away to practically nothing. Banished and exiled and practically starving! While he and his flimsy fish folk celebrate. Well, I'll give 'em something to celebrate soon enough. [to her eels] 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. [fade to black]

View Quote Marcus: I've never had a hero before. But you are my hero.
Miep Gies: Oh, no. No, no, no, young man, no. I am not a hero. No. I did what I had to do, because it was the right thing to do. That is all.

View Quote [after Marcus calls her "his hero"] Oh no. No, no, young man, no, I am not a hero. No, I did what I had to do because... it was the right thing to do. That is all. Now we are all ordinary people, but even an ordinary secretary or a housewife or a teenager can, within their own small ways, turn on a small light in a dark room, ja? I have read your letters, and your teacher has been telling me many things about your experiences. You are the heroes. You are heroes every day. Your faces are engraved in my heart.
