[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.
MD Marina Del Rey
Good morning, Your Majesty.
MD Marina Del Rey
Sebastian.
MD Marina Del Rey
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.
MD Marina Del Rey
[grumbling]
MD Marina Del Rey
Let's move it!
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.
MD Marina Del Rey
Good morning, Your Majesty.
I have a problem. [Sebastian is shocked] It's Ariel.
MD Marina Del Rey
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.
MD Marina Del Rey
I do! They're all a handful. We should shave their heads.
MD Marina Del Rey
Just kidding.
Alana wasn't difficult at all.
Yes, Your Majesty. But Arista and the blowfish incident, remember?
MD Marina Del Rey
Oh! It took weeks to clean up the palace.
And how about Aquata and that stingray?
MD Marina Del Rey
Oh! I can still feel it.
And the time Attina got her head stick in the conch shell.
MD Marina Del Rey
That was me.
Well, perhaps you're right, Sebastian. Still, it seems Marina could use some help. I want you to look after Ariel.
MD Marina Del Rey
[shrieks]
MD Marina Del Rey
None taken.
MD Marina Del Rey
[They bow down as King Triton leaves]
Soft shell.
MD Marina Del Rey
Stick eye.
MD Marina Del Rey
Backstabber!
MD Marina Del Rey
BOTTOM FEEDER!
Dismissed.
[Sebastian and Marina Del Rey has to stop fighting and shocked]
[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.
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.
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.
A Alana
Me, too! Me, too!
Yeah. Everybody does. Please, Ariel. Please?
A Alana
What should I wear?
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]
MD Marina Del Rey
Come on, girls. Uppy-up.
MD Marina Del Rey
Yes. [grabs Benjamin] But why?! [Leave at princesses' room]
[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.
MD Marina Del Rey
As you wish,
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]
MD Marina Del Rey
Benjamin, Tear out those puny windows.
MD Marina Del Rey
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? NO, I'M NEVER GOING BACK... ♪
DF Delivery fish
Delivery for Miss Del Rey.
[singing]
♪ Make no mistake! I'm here to stay! ♪
[singing]
♪ Meet the new MARINA DEL REY!!!♪ [harmonizing]
She does seem happier. Oh!
DF Delivery fish
How long has she been in charge?
We're going on... seven minutes.
[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.
MD Marina Del Rey
Not now!
MD Marina Del Rey
Nonsense, Your Highness. Not possible. [Her seat went down to Benjamin]
MD Marina Del Rey
[angrily turning around with her chair and yelling at Benjamin]
WHAT?!
Huh? [Attina arrives with the flower Ariel left behind]
MD Marina Del Rey
[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!
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]
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.
MD Marina Del Rey
[At the palace]
Give me back the key!
MD Marina Del Rey
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?
MD Marina Del Rey
Benjamin.
MD Marina Del Rey
Benjamin!
MD Marina Del Rey
[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!
MD Marina Del Rey
I'M PERFECTLY CALM!!!
MD Marina Del Rey
[Benjamin ducks from her swipe]
GIVE!
MD Marina Del Rey
Oh, look at the pretty fishies.
Really? Where? [She snatches the key from the distracted Benjamin]
MD Marina Del Rey
[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]
MD Marina Del Rey
My, my, are you hungry? Ooh... Who wants crab cakes?
What are you going to do?
MD Marina Del Rey
[turning around to Benjamin]
Whatever it takes to get rid of Sebastian!
MD Marina Del Rey
Ariel? Ariel?! You're right, she'll tattle! I'll have to get rid of her, too.
MD Marina Del Rey
That's brilliant, Benjamin, brilliant!
OK, that wasn't what I meant.
MD Marina Del Rey
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.
MD Marina Del Rey
Sic 'em, boys!
Ooh, what hath we wrought?
MD Marina Del Rey
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]
[They go through the keep forest, only that it's low on kelp]
I don't remember this much kelp when we came through here last night.
[One the "kelp" moved and touched Ariel]
Kelp, schmelp. I ain't afraid of these overgrown weeds. Hi-yah! Take this! And take that! [yelling in slow-motion]
[He tries to bring down the kelp 4 times, but fails. And Flounder then looks up and the kelp were really Marina's eels.]
Guys? That ain't kelp!
MD Marina Del Rey
[They get scared of the eels and Marina pops up]
SURPRISE!!
Marina? What are you wearing?
MD Marina Del Rey
I thought I'd dress for the occasion.
What's the occasion? [She shows a net] [screams] GO, GO, GO, GO!
MD Marina Del Rey
Sic 'em, boys! [cackling]
[The eels chase them]
MD Marina Del Rey
[Sebastian facing against Marina]
I've tasted power, Sebastian. And I'm never letting go.
Bring it on! [gathers the starfish] Come to daddy.
[Marina tries to attack him, but he throws starfish at her, and her face is covered with them]
Oh, my! [chuckling]
[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!
[He slingshits Cheeks into the pillars and they fall down and traps the eels inside]
Yeah! Awesome!
Ooh, they hurtin' for certain.
Yup, yup, yup. [chuckles]
Follow me!
[They swim to where Sebastian is facing Marina]
[Marina chase Sebastian with sea rocks]
Come on, try and get me.
MD Marina Del Rey
Get back here! [He goes inside a tube, and Marina reaches in there and tries to grab him, but her finger is snaped by him] Ow!
[singing]
♪ Boom, chika, boom chika, boom, boom, boom!
[Marina then swim upward and then dives to crush Sebastian, but he gets out of the tube as Marina is caught and stick inside of it]
Tight fit?
MD Marina Del Rey
You... stinks. [She falls and rolls down the hill and crashes off-screen]
[Marina and Benjamin are locked up with the dungeon]
Let's think about what we've learned. You just can't hurt merpeople. Hurting is meaning. We don't want to be mean, do we?
MD Marina Del Rey
[blows her nose; last words]
Maybe you're right.
[up-tempo music plays, as Benjamin dances, and Marina joins in on the dance] [last words]
Ooh-wa, ooh-wa!
