[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]
Oh, I was dreaming about a boy.
A Alana
But I need my beauty sleep.
Andrina Time about it.
A Alana
Easy for you. No one cares what you look...
Andrina 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.
Andrina Ah, she's got a point.
That's what your father cares about. Predictability, presentation, punctuality.
That's all Dad cares about.
Andrina She's got a point.
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.
Andrina Clam it!
[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.
Andrina Time to go.
Great.
[They swim to go on their walk with their father]
That will be all, Sebastian. Marina. Good day, girls.
[They begin to swim until...]
Ariel.
[whispering]
He sounds grumpier than yesterday.
Andrina 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]
[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.
Andrina Yeah. That is two hours past curfew.
Andrina Ooh, was it a boy?
If it's a boy, I'm gonna die!
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.
Andrina Ew! Squid-Lips Stevie?
Andrina Whatever.
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?
Andrina Come on. Spill it.
[laughs]
Oh, it was amazing. The energy, the dancing, the music... Just makes you feel like...
Ariel, I wanna hear it, too.
A Alana
Me, too! Me, too!
Andrina Not without me.
Yeah. Everybody does. Please, Ariel. Please?
A Alana
What should I wear?
So you think there'll be boys?
Andrina One way to find out.
This is not happening! You go again and I...
Andrina Oh, lighten up.
OK. [The girls cheer as Marina and Benjamin arrives]
Andrina Morning.
Yes. [grabs Benjamin] But why?! [Leave at princesses' room]
