Sebastian
What about Ariel? You just gonna abandon her, leave her to deal wit all dat we tangled her up in? You tink that small, weak, helpless little girl can do anything by herself? [Ariel smashes open door] Ariel?
Ariel
Come on Sebastian, let's go.
Marina Del Ray
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?
Marina Del Ray
[Marina Del Ray and Benjamin came in the princesses' room] [first words]
Uppy-uppy, my darlings.
Benjamin
[first words]
It's us. [The princesses groan]
Ariel
[groans]
Governess! [Then Marina takes the pillow from under Aquata]
Marina Del Ray
Rise and shine,
Marina Del Ray
Mustn't be late.
Arista
But it's still dark out.
Arista
[sees now]
Oh. Hi.
Benjamin
Wakey-wakey.
Adella
Oh, I was dreaming about a boy.
Marina Del Ray
Yes. Come on, girls.
A Alana
But I need my beauty sleep.
Andrina
Time about it.
A Alana
Easy for you. No one cares what you look...
Marina Del Ray
Move it.
Benjamin
I think you're lovely.
Andrina
Can't we meet Father later?
Marina Del Ray
Unfortanily, I don't get to make those kinds of decisions. [laughs] Any decisions kingdom, really. [Sees the girls go back to sleep again and anger] GET UP! [The girls rushed up and go to the mirrors] All right, all right, all right. Move your tails. This is our special time with your father.
Ariel
Special? It's the same every morning.
Andrina
Ah, she's got a point.
Marina Del Ray
That's what your father cares about. Predictability, presentation, punctuality.
Ariel
That's all Dad cares about.
Andrina
She's got a point.
A Aquata
You've got your own mirror!
Benjamin
Two minutes.
Marina Del Ray
STOP PRIMPING! [They get ready as they talk, as Attina goes to Ariel]
Attina
Come on, Ariel.
Ariel
Why can't he let us do something different? Just once.
Attina
Give him a break. He's the king, remember? You try running a kingdom.
Ariel
I wouldn't run it like this.
Attina
Don't upset him, Ariel.
Ariel
Just because you're the oldest, Attina, doesn't mean you get to boss us around.
Attina
Yes, it does.
Marina Del Ray
Benjamin, if we're late again, I'll never get a promotion.
Benjamin
Marina...
Attina
Come on, girls.
Marina Del Ray
Not that I want a promotion. No, no, no, I love this job. Looking after you is what I live for. Really. [the girls leave and anger again] I hate this job!
Benjamin
The less said the better.
Benjamin
[We fade to stacks of meat and are picked up by a stick, which turns out to be Benjamin uses it to feed the locked up creatures]
Mm-hmm. Snacky-snack. [animals growling] OK. [moaning as the creatures ate the meat] No manners.
Marina Del Ray
This job is killing me!
Benjamin
Oh, dear.
Marina Del Ray
If I have to watch over these spoiled princesses one more day, I'm gonna beach myself!
Benjamin
Mm-hmm.
Marina Del Ray
You should've heard that little clawboy Sebastian today. "You're late." [gibbering] IF TRITON WASN'T LOOKING, I WOULD HAVE SQUASHED THAT CRUSTACEAN INTO A CRAB CAKE!
Benjamin
Mm-hmm.
Marina Del Ray
[inhaling deeply]
Maybe I'm just too sensitive?
Benjamin
Dip.
Marina Del Ray
Did you feed them today?
Benjamin
Yes. Twice.
Marina Del Ray
And the key? [He shows her the key around his neck, and he continues to shorten her nails] Ooh! That Sebastian! I despise him! I loathe him!
Benjamin
Never heard that one.
Marina Del Ray
How did that little invertebrate get to be chief of staff?
Benjamin
Chutzpah?
Marina Del Ray
I want that job. I deserve that job! So what if I'm late every once in a while and the girls are miserable?

[Meanwhile, at the dungeon. Ray-Ray throws the ball against the wall with Flounder, as Sebastian, Cheeks and Shelbow are sad being in the dungeon, as Ink Spot panics]
I got to get out of here. I got to get out. The walls, they're closing in. There's no space! No Air! [grunting] I got it! We'll start a riot! Follow my lead. ATLANTICA! ATLANTICA! Join me, guys. ATLANTICA!

Shelbow
Now, no offense, man, but you had ten years to fix it, and this is where we end up?
Ink Spot
In jail. [The band gathered around to discuss the plan]
Sebastian
Well, I... [And the band are done discussing the plan]

The band has talked it up, see, and we want you to...
Cheeks

Flounder

Sebastian
No! Bad Plan! If we break out of this jail, there ain't no coming back here, mon! We'll be fugitives! [The pause at that, but they agree on being fugitives]
Flounder
What's a fugitive? [Ariel arrives and heads to their cell]
Sebastian
What about Ariel? You just gonna abandon her, leave her to deal wit all dat we tangled her up in? You tink that small, weak, helpless little girl can do anything by herself? [Ariel smashes the cell door with the rock] Ariel?

Marina Del Ray
[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]
Benjamin
Marina.
King Triton
[Remorseful]
I think I was too hard on them.
Benjamin
It's about Ariel.
MD Marina Del Rey
Not now!
King Triton
Perhaps I went too far.
MD Marina Del Rey
Nonsense, Your Highness. Not possible. [Her seat went down to Benjamin]
Benjamin
Marina.
MD Marina Del Rey
[angrily turning around with her chair and yelling at Benjamin]
WHAT?!
Attina
[off screen]
DADDY!
Benjamin
Huh? [Attina arrives with the flower Ariel left behind]
Attina
Ariel is missing.
King Triton
[shocked]
What?
MD Marina Del Rey
[grabs Benjamin]
Why didn't you tell me?!
Benjamin
I just... did.
Attina
We can't find her! We've looked everywhere!
King Triton
Don't worry, I'll find her. Get me Sebastian!
MD Marina Del Rey
What, what No, no, no! No, I'm in charge here! [swims to Triton, but stops when he gives her the look]
Benjamin
Sebastian's gone, too.
King Triton
Guards! Search the palace. Search every inch of Atlantica! FIND MY DAUGHTER! [Leaves along with Attina as the guards gone off to find Ariel]
MD Marina Del Rey
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.
Flounder
Are we there yet?
Sebastian
No.
Flounder
Are we there yet?
Flounder
Are we there yet?
Sebastian
No.
Flounder
Are we there yet?
Sebastian
No.
Flounder
Are we there yet?
Sebastian
Yes. This is it.
Flounder
Are you sure?
Sebastian
Yes.
Ray Ray
Are you sure?
Sebastian Yes.
Ariel
Are you s-?
Sebastian
[losing control of his rage and yelling at Ariel]
YES!!!
Ink Spot
Oh, man. We can't live here!
Shelbow
Yeah, this place is all "Oom-pa-pa." We need some... [drumbeats]
Sebastian
Nonsense. It's perfect. Just listen to them acoustics: [singing] ♪ Do, re, me, fa, so, la, ti, do ♪ [It echoes three times] Solid.
Ray Ray
Well, it beats the dungeon.
Cheeks
But not by much.
Shelbow
It'll do for the time being. Excuse me.
Ray-Ray
[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]
Flounder
[sputtering]
Ariel
Sebastian, be honest. Are we lost?
Sebastian
No, this is fine. There's more to this place than meets the eye.
Flounder
[The gang went to sleep until...] [Once again, scatting]
E Everyone
[angrily]
KNOCK IT OFF!
Flounder
Sorry.
Ariel
[In the morning, Then Ariel wakes up as well and hears something and see something flashing in the distance, Sebastian snoring]
Sebastian.
Sebastian
Ten minutes, Mommy.
Ariel
Sebastian, did you hear that sound?
Sebastian
Leave me alone. I'm Sleeping.
Ariel
But there's something out there. Come on, help us find it.
Sebastian
I'm tired. You go check it out.
Ariel
[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]
Sebastian
[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.
Ariel
[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.
Sebastian
The palace always echoing with laughter.
Sebastian
[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]
Ariel
It's so sad. He's forgotten what it feels like to be happy. I... I have to bring this back to him.
Sebastian
If you insist.
Ariel
This is why we came here, isn't it? [Sebastian smiles and we cut to the gang]
Ray-Ray
Whoa, whoa, let me get this straight. You led us out here...
Ink Spot
To the armpit of nowhere, man.
Shelbow
In the hope that Red might find the music box. And now you wanna go back to the palace...
Ink Spot
To return the music box to the king...
Ray-Ray
On the chance that maybe it'll...
Shelbow
Remind him to remember how to be happy...
Ink Spot
And then he'll bring music back?
Sebastian
That about sums it up.
Cheeks
Couldn't we just strap it to a dolphin? He'd get it eventually.
Ray-Ray
[The band gathered around again, to discuss it. And the band are done discussing it and say.]
Listen, the band talked it over, and...
Shelbow
We just can't take that chance.
Sebastian
What?!
Flounder
Huh?
Ariel
It's OK. Maybe someday it'll be different. You'll come home and play music all you want.
Ray-Ray
Sure, Red. Someday. Someday.
Ariel
Bye. [They swim different as Flounder is distaught by this]
Flounder
What? No, no, wait. Ray-Ray! Guys! We can't just let them go back alone.
Ray-Ray
Drop it, small fry.
Flounder
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!
Ray-Ray
The Catfish Club is history. That oath don't mean a thing.
Flounder
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]
MD Marina Del Rey
[Sebastian facing against Marina]
I've tasted power, Sebastian. And I'm never letting go.
Sebastian
Bring it on! [gathers the starfish] Come to daddy.
Sebastian
[Marina tries to attack him, but he throws starfish at her, and her face is covered with them]
Oh, my! [chuckling]
Ink Spot
[Marina gets angry and whacks him with her tail, Go back to Ariel and Flounder being chased by eels and comes across a dead end. Then Tentacles appear out of nowhere grabs them and pull them up and it turns out to be Ink Spot]
NOW!
Ray-Ray
Fire!
Flounder
[He slingshits Cheeks into the pillars and they fall down and traps the eels inside]
Yeah! Awesome!
Ray-Ray
Ooh, they hurtin' for certain.
Cheeks
Yup, yup, yup. [chuckles]
Ariel
Sebastian's in trouble!
Flounder
Follow me!
[They swim to where Sebastian is facing Marina]
Ariel
[At the final battle is over, Marina, still stick in a tube, decides to swim up and run over Sebastian] [gasps]
SEBASTIAN!
Flounder
LOOK OUT!!!!
King Triton
[As Ariel swims forward, King Triton arrives and watches] [horrified]
ARIEL! NO!
King Triton
[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.
Ariel
[Then suddenly, Ariel wakes up]
Daddy?
King Triton
I'm... I'm so sorry I didn't listen.
Ariel
[hugs him]
Daddy. Let's go home.
Flounder
[King Triton swims off with Ariel in his arms]
Guys, you came back.
Ray-Ray
Sure did, small fry. Like you said, we took an oath.
Ink Spot
Come here, you little knucklehead. Group hug!
Shelbow
Big hug!
Cheeks
We dig you, man.
Flounder
[They group hug around Flounder, squeezing him.]
Guys... can't breathe.
[Then Sebastian closes the music box and smiles at the audience]
