Are you sure?
Sebastian Yes.
[losing control of his rage and yelling at Ariel]
YES!!!
Oh, man. We can't live here!
Yeah, this place is all "Oom-pa-pa." We need some... [drumbeats]
Nonsense. It's perfect. Just listen to them acoustics: [singing] ♪ Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do ♪ [It echoes three times] Solid.
Well, it beats the dungeon.
It'll do for the time being. Excuse me.
[He goes inside his shell and, Ink Spot goes on a boulder and sleeps upside down, and Ray-Ray buries himself in the sand]
Ooh... [Flounder tries to do the same thing that Ray Ray but fail and spits out the sand]
Sebastian, be honest. Are we lost?
No, this is fine. There's more to this place than meets the eye.
[The gang went to sleep until...] [Once again, scatting]
E Everyone
[angrily]
KNOCK IT OFF!
Oh, My name is Ariel. [Sees something] Oh, no! [That was Sebastian as he stopped until her land on Sebastian]
Princess Ariel! What is the meaning of this?!
Um... We weren't doing anything.
No? Then why were you trying to get away?
SG Swordfish Guards
[both growing]
Um... 'Cause they were chasing us?
SG Swordfish Guard
We heard music, chief.
[shrieks]
Music! The princess was making music?!
SG Swordfish Guard
The princess wasn't making music. He was.
Music is against the law! Take him to the dungeon!
I can't make it in the slammer!
Wait! This is all a big misunderstanding. Huge. You are gonna laugh when I explain. Which I'm about to do.
Right. You see, I was just cleaning the coral tubes, and my friend here [chuckles] were helping me.
That's right. Best friends helpin' out. Makin' it happen.
But not making music. [He make nervous smile] See?
Guards! Escort the princess back to the palace.
Consider this your first and only warning, mon. [The two guard goes on to escort the princess back to the palace, but not before she glares at them]
Humph! [Sebastian sees that Flounder is still here and he give him the angry look that scares and he swims off]
Oh! Intolerable, I tell you. That girl is working on my last!
That will be all, Sebastian. Marina. Good day, girls.
[They begin to swim until...]
Ariel.
[whispering]
He sounds grumpier than yesterday.
Time to go to bed. [With Triton and Ariel]
[sternly]
A princess does not tickle another princess with seaweed.
[smiling nervously]
You saw that? I was just trying to have some fun.
You disrupted your sisters.
[interrupts]
Is it too much to ask that you simply walk with your family?
[frustrated]
That's all we ever do.
Can't we do something different?
[yelling at Ariel]
ENOUGH! [Ariel is shocked at her father's behavior] You have to learn to respect the way I run this kingdom. [pulls out a seashell-shaped tool] Barnacles.
[shocked]
What? That'll take all day.
[hands her the tool]
Well, then you'd better get started, young lady. [Ariel is angry at her father as he swims inside the building]
[to herself]
I hate this place. [She swims off to where she will get all the barnacles off]
Benjamin, Tear out those puny windows.
Rip down those narrow walls. This is just the beginning. I want a balcony so I can wave down to the adoring crowds. But high enough so they can't see disdain on my face. Can you taste it, Benjamin? The sweet taste of power! Filling, yet oddly minty! [singing] ♪ Hello, world! It's Marina Del Rey! I'm the new attach! But I want more! [laughing] And I'M NEVER GOING BACK! Did you get that, clawboy?

Hey, small fry, I think you could use some lessons in fugitivity.
Oh, yeah. Right. Got it. [conutining scatting]
You're gonna blow it for all of us.
Blow, good. [continues scatting]

Where are we going exactly?
[To Flounder]
Don't worry, mon.
'Cause I got to go to the bathroom.
[After King Triton and his Royal Guards storm the club] [angrily]
This is how you watch over my daughter?!
Sire. [Marina looks at this in pleasure]
But, Your Majesty, please!
SG Swordfish guard
Come on. Let's move it. [The guards escort the band, pushes Flounder] Hey.
SG Swordfish guard
Sure you are, kid. [As they take them away]
Marina, you will take over Sebastian's duties immediately.
Attina. Take your sisters home.
Father, you can't do this!
It's already DONE!
[Attina and Aquata drag Ariel out. As the princesses exit the club, King Triton, in far more rage than before, uses his trident to blast the rocks to block the entrance to the club]
[After the club is destroyed, the princesses in the throne room at the palace]
You are all confined to the palace.
[bitterly]
Why don't you just lock us in jail?
Ariel, you are confined to the palace until you understand what you've done.
[angrily]
What did we do? Tell me, Daddy.
No! [swims up to Triton so she can try to reason with him] We haven't done anything wrong. All we did was listen to music.
[outraged]
Which you know is forbidden!
But why? Why can't we have music?
I do not have to explain myself to you.
I don't understand. We love music!
[losing control of his rage and yelling at Ariel]
I WILL NOT HAVE MUSIC IN MY KINGDOM!!!!!
[Hearing this, Ariel becomes heartbroken and devastated by this.]
I may not remember much about my mother, but I know she wouldn't have wanted this.
[Ariel leaves the throne room, as the king and her sisters watch her leave. Triton becomes saddened while watching Ariel swim away]
[Ariel entering her and her sisters' room, and sitting while crying] [sobbing]
[Ariel watches her sisters enter the room as Attina is now 2 feet away from them]
Attina? [tries to comfort Attina, but...]
You just don't know when to quit. [glares at her and swims away from her]
What? [Her sisters did the same]
But... we were finally happy.
Look around, Ariel. No one's happy.
[At the courtroom, the merpeople gathered in] [clears throat]
To my daughters, and to all the citizens I hereby decree that music will once again ring clear from one end of my kingdom to the other!
Therefore, I hereby present Atlantica's first official Court Composer.
Thank you, Your Highness. Uh.... Not that we don't trust you, Your Majesty, but...Swifty, Hit it, Sing it, mon.
S Swifty
[clears throat]
Raise your right hand, fin, claw, tentacle, or whatever the case may be. [Triton raises his hand] Very good. Do you promise to jump, jive, wail, groove, rock steady and at all times lend a helping hand to your fellow music lovers?
[hugs her sister]
Thank you, Ariel.
[At the final battle is over, Marina, still stick in a tube, decides to swim up and run over Sebastian] [gasps]
SEBASTIAN!
[As Ariel swims forward, King Triton arrives and watches] [horrified]
ARIEL! NO!
[Marina starts to go after to hit Sebastian, but Ariel blocked the attack, knocking her out of the way to save Sebastian, but rendered her unconscious. Ariel falls down, As King Triton swims toward her as the others watch in sadness. Then, the music box falls down from Ariel's arms and it opens and plays the song, as King Triton listens to it and realizes what has become of him] [devastated]
What have I done? [singing] ♪ Endless sky. Waves try to measure. The days that we treasure.
[Then suddenly, Ariel wakes up]
Daddy?
I'm... I'm so sorry I didn't listen.
[hugs him]
Daddy. Let's go home.
[King Triton swims off with Ariel in his arms]
Guys, you came back.
Sure did, small fry. Like you said, we took an oath.
Come here, you little knucklehead. Group hug!
[They group hug around Flounder, squeezing him.]
Guys... can't breathe.
[Then Sebastian closes the music box and smiles at the audience]
[At the palace, King Triton is sitting on his throne, as Marina arrives]
And thanks to my bold new initiatives, second only to my fabulous day wear and dressy evening separates, productivity in all sectors is up 20 percent. [The king ignores her as he swims away] Squids are producing more ink, kelp more oxygen, and the coral reef is just churning out the plankton. Chuga, chuga! [laughs] I do so enjoy fresh plankton on my salad, don't you? [He didn't answer] I'll take that as a yes. Ohh. As you can see, I - [raises chair to Triton's level] I'm a self starter, Your Majesty. Here to anticipate your every need! Not like that last guy, what was his name? Sooner we forget about him, the better. In fact! Let's make a vow, never to mention his name again. Here, I'll start! [claps hands over mouth] There! Wasn't that easy? [Benjamin appears]
[Remorseful]
I think I was too hard on them.
Nonsense, Your Highness. Not possible. [Her seat went down to Benjamin]
[angrily turning around with her chair and yelling at Benjamin]
WHAT?!
Huh? [Attina arrives with the flower Ariel left behind]
[grabs Benjamin]
Why didn't you tell me?!
We can't find her! We've looked everywhere!
Don't worry, I'll find her. Get me Sebastian!
What, what No, no, no! No, I'm in charge here! [swims to Triton, but stops when he gives her the look]
Guards! Search the palace. Search every inch of Atlantica! FIND MY DAUGHTER! [Leaves along with Attina as the guards gone off to find Ariel]
Your Majesty. Whoo-hoo! Your Majesty, Your Majesty. [growls] [She turns to look at the flower as she goes to pick it up and squeezes it in anger.] Sebastian.
[At the palace]
Give me back the key!
Look, I haven't worked my tail off for the last 12 hours just to have it snatched away.
How about a nice relaxing bath?
[losing control of her rage and yelling at Benjamin]
GIVE ME THE KEY!!!!!!!!
But you said to never give it to you in a fit of rage!
[Benjamin ducks from her swipe]
GIVE!
Oh, look at the pretty fishies.
Really? Where? [She snatches the key from the distracted Benjamin]
[laughs]
Ooh, yum-yums! Come to Mommy. [The eel came out of the hole and swim around their master and speaking in baby talk] Oh, yes. Mommy wuvs you.
OK, I'm not gonna watch this part. [shuddering]
My, my, are you hungry? Ooh... Who wants crab cakes?
What are you going to do?
[turning around to Benjamin]
Whatever it takes to get rid of Sebastian!
Ariel? Ariel?! You're right, she'll tattle! I'll have to get rid of her, too.
That's brilliant, Benjamin, brilliant!
OK, that wasn't what I meant.
I never liked her anyway. I'll make it look like an accident. That's it! An accidental underwater ambush by a team of the cutest wittle yum-yums ever.
Ooh, what hath we wrought?
Oh, swim, you pretties. Swim, you pretties. Faster! Swim. [Her eels swim out the window and yelling again] WAIT UP!!!!!!!! [The eels kept on going]
[At the throne room, Sebastian arrives, and his chariot is going crazy] [panting]
WHOA! WHOA! Good morning, Your Highness.
[clears throat]
Unfortunately, the sprat and the... smelt were still... [shrieks] squabbling. No worries. I told them I'd sic the salmon on them. [chuckles]
Sebastian, what would I do without you?
You'd be negotiatin' with the sprat and the smelt, that's what.
[The princesses arrive before their father]
Good morning, girls.
G Girls
Good morning, Father.
Good morning, Your Majesty.
I... uh... [chuckles, groans]
Well, I presume you've all been attending to your royal duties this week.
Yes, Father. We've been working diligently.
But, we're always done early.
And the coral is in bloom.
[swims to her father]
So I thought maybe we could go for a swim on the reef?
But it only happens once a year. It could be fun.
I was thinking we could just skip the morning walk.
[sternly]
Ariel! Your father said "No."
Yes, sir. [swims back to her sisters]
[They begin to swim out]
Be on time tomorrow.
Great.
[They swim to go on their walk with their father]
[In the morning, Sebastian crawls up to King Triton in his throne room]
Good morning, Your Highness.
Good morning, Your Majesty.
I have a problem. [Sebastian is shocked] It's Ariel.
Finally! So you see it, too? Oh, yes. She's rebellious, insubordinate, headstrong. We need to immediately implement a series of checks and balances designed to crush her spirit. What? Too harsh?
Absolutely! Your Highness, she is young, going through a phase.
I don't remember having this much trouble with any of her sisters.
I do! They're all a handful. We should shave their heads.
Alana wasn't difficult at all.
Yes, Your Majesty. But Arista and the blowfish incident, remember?
Oh! It took weeks to clean up the palace.
And how about Aquata and that stingray?
And the time Attina got her head stick in the conch shell.
Well, perhaps you're right, Sebastian. Still, it seems Marina could use some help. I want you to look after Ariel.
[They bow down as King Triton leaves]
Soft shell.
Dismissed.
[Sebastian and Marina Del Rey has to stop fighting and shocked]
[In the morning, Then Ariel wakes up as well and hears something and see something flashing in the distance, Sebastian snoring]
Sebastian.
Sebastian, did you hear that sound?
Leave me alone. I'm Sleeping.
But there's something out there. Come on, help us find it.
I'm tired. You go check it out.
[Ariel swim out to follow the sound, Sebastian watches her leave as Ariel swim to follow the sound, and she stopped near the kelp forest, She swim through the kelp forest, and she's amazed of what she seeing, A shiny cave is what she's entered, as she look through the walls] [chuckles]
[Ariel looks around and sees a reflection of herself and then she sees something, Ariel picks up the box and opens it and King Triton dancing with Queen Athena.]
It was an anniversary present. Your father had the music box made for your mother. Athena was more than his queen, you know. She was his best friend.
[Flashback of her and her sisters young, and Triton dances with Athena. And they play with each other, and young Ariel playing the piano for the first time. And her bandaged hand being kissed by King Triton] [VO]
The family together. Music playing all the time.
The palace always echoing with laughter.
[The two girls hide and then they tackled their father, and they laugh in joy, and fades to Triton and Athena being on the rock at the surface world. And we fade back to the present.]
When your mother died, the whole kingdom was heartbroken. The heart that never healed was your father's. [Ariel are sad about this]
It's so sad. He's forgotten what it feels like to be happy. I... I have to bring this back to him.
This is why we came here, isn't it? [Sebastian smiles and we cut to the gang]
Whoa, whoa, let me get this straight. You led us out here...
To the armpit of nowhere, man.
In the hope that Red might find the music box. And now you wanna go back to the palace...
To return the music box to the king...
On the chance that maybe it'll...
Remind him to remember how to be happy...
And then he'll bring music back?
Couldn't we just strap it to a dolphin? He'd get it eventually.
[The band gathered around again, to discuss it. And the band are done discussing it and say.]
Listen, the band talked it over, and...
We just can't take that chance.
It's OK. Maybe someday it'll be different. You'll come home and play music all you want.
Sure, Red. Someday. Someday.
Bye. [They swim different as Flounder is distaught by this]
What? No, no, wait. Ray-Ray! Guys! We can't just let them go back alone.
But we took an oath! To jump, jive, wail, groove, rock steady, and at all times lend a helping hand to your fellow music lovers!
The Catfish Club is history. That oath don't mean a thing.
Well, it still means something to me. Hey, Ariel! Wait up! Ariel! [Flounder swims up to Ariel's direction as the band watch him go]
