[Marina Del Ray and Benjamin came in the princesses' room] [first words]
Uppy-uppy, my darlings.
[first words]
It's us. [The princesses groan]
[groans]
Governess! [Then Marina takes the pillow from under Aquata]
Adella Oh, I was dreaming about a boy.
A Alana
But I need my beauty sleep.
A Alana
Easy for you. No one cares what you look...
Can't we meet Father later?
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.
Special? It's the same every morning.
That's what your father cares about. Predictability, presentation, punctuality.
That's all Dad cares about.
A Aquata
You've got your own mirror!
STOP PRIMPING! [They get ready as they talk, as Attina goes to Ariel]
Why can't he let us do something different? Just once.
Give him a break. He's the king, remember? You try running a kingdom.
I wouldn't run it like this.
Just because you're the oldest, Attina, doesn't mean you get to boss us around.
Benjamin, if we're late again, I'll never get a promotion.
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!
The less said the better.
[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.
Adella Enough!
[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.
Adella OK, we're coming.
Great.
[They swim to go on their walk with their father]
[Meanwhile, we go to Ariel humming "I Remember" in her sleep, but then she wake up to see her sister staring at her]
What? [looks at her sisters being suspicious] What?
Don't worry. [swims to her mirror] It was just a dream.
A Alana
I'll tell you what wasn't a dream. We woke up at midnight.
A Aquata
And your bed was still empty.
Yeah. That is two hours past curfew.
Adella If it's a boy, I'm gonna die!
Adella I mean, I'm happy for you, Ariel. It's just that I'm two years older than you, and the only one I've come even close to kissing is Stevie.
Adella It was on a dare.
Girls, let's stick to the subject.
Well, it wasn't a boy, OK? I was just helping a friend. Out past the kelp forest.
A Aquata
Ooh! Past the kelp forest. It wasn't a boy. It was a bad boy.
A Aquata
Simmer down there, sister.
So you were just helping a friend?
Then, where'd you get... this?
Ariel's Sisters: [all gasp]
Can you imagine what'd happen if Dad found it?
Don't get cute with me. This is serious. Where were you? [Andrina looks at her, Alana, Aquata, and Arista both looked at Ariel]
I was just... listening to music in an underground club.
OK, where were you really? [Ariel gives them the look]
S Sisters
[gasping]
Listening to music?
[laughs]
Oh, it was amazing. The energy, the dancing, the music... Just makes you feel like...
Ariel, I wanna hear it, too.
Adella OK. Me, too.
A Alana
Me, too! Me, too!
Yeah. Everybody does. Please, Ariel. Please?
A Alana
What should I wear?
Adella So you think there'll be boys?
This is not happening! You go again and I...
OK. [The girls cheer as Marina and Benjamin arrives]
Yes. [grabs Benjamin] But why?! [Leave at princesses' room]
[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]
Adella It's over, Ariel.
But... we were finally happy.
Look around, Ariel. No one's happy.
