Flounder My name is Flounder.
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?!
Flounder Princess?
Um... We weren't doing anything.
No? Then why were you trying to get away?
SG Swordfish Guards
[both growing]
Flounder 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.
Flounder [whimpers]
Music is against the law! Take him to the dungeon!
Flounder 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.
Flounder 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.
Flounder [whimpers]
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!
[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.
Flounder I'm with the band.
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]
[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!
Yeah? [Ray-Ray throws the ball to Ink Spot as he squeezes the ball while breathing]
This ain't living. You know what I'm saying?
S Sheldon
And the acoustics are non-good-ular. Listen. ♪ Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do ♪
Flounder Come on, at least we're hanging out. Can I get a "hoo-yah?"
Come on, guys. This looks a lot worse than it is. I'll just get an audience with the king and I'll fix it.
Now, no offense, man, but you had ten years to fix it, and this is where we end up?
In jail. [The band gathered around to discuss the plan]
Well, I... [And the band are done discussing the plan]
The band has talked it up, see, and we want you to...
Use your claws to pick the lock, man.
And open that door! [They have each other about that being a good plan]
Flounder Liquid! [the gang looked at him] Just kidding.
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]
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?
[opens the cell door]
Come on Sebastian, let's go.
If we run away from Atlantica, it will break your father's heart.
She got to do what she got to do.
I'm sorry. I just can't live here.
[closes the cell door]
Listen, I will not be responsible for taking you away from your family.
[opens the cell door again]
I'm leaving! With or without you.
[closes the cell door again, but this time he is out of the cell]
NOBODY'S LEAVING! [gasps]
Look, Sebastian, without music, this place just isn't home.
You know she ain't lying.
Ain't no comeback to that!
[Tries to think]
Ha! Oh, no, no, no. [gasps, grumbles] Never mind. [screams]
Ariel, you're right! Without music, this place just isn't home. I know just where to go!
Band and Flounder FREEDOM! [They go through the cell door ramming Sebastian against the wall]
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
Flounder [scatting]
Flounder, shh! Move it, move it, move it, mon.
Flounder Move it, move it, move it.
Flounder [scatting]
Flounder [scatting]
Flounder [scatting loudly]
YEAH! HIT ME!
Hey, small fry, I think you could use some lessons in fugitivity.
Flounder Oh, yeah. Right. Got it. [conutining scatting]
You're gonna blow it for all of us.
Flounder Blow, good. [continues scatting]
Hey, kid, ixnay on the soundtrack.
Flounder Why?
Music is against the law, you dig?
Flounder Not out here.
Flounder Come on. We ran away so we could sing. And I'm singing. Sing it with me. [scatting]

Flounder Where are we going exactly?
[To Flounder]
Don't worry, mon.
Flounder 'Cause I got to go to the bathroom.
Flounder Are we there yet?
Flounder Are we there yet?
Flounder Are we there yet?
Flounder Are we there yet?
Flounder Are we there yet?
Flounder Are you sure?
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]
Flounder [sputtering]
Sebastian, be honest. Are we lost?
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.
[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.
Flounder Huh?
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]
Flounder What? No, no, wait. Ray-Ray! Guys! We can't just let them go back alone.
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!
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]
[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.
Flounder [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!
[They get scared of the eels and Marina pops up]
SURPRISE!!
Marina? What are you wearing?
I thought I'd dress for the occasion.
What's the occasion? [She shows a net] [screams] GO, GO, GO, GO!
Sic 'em, boys! [cackling]
[The eels chase them]
[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!
Flounder [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]
Flounder Follow me!
[They swim to where Sebastian is facing Marina]
[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!!!!
[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.
Flounder [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!
Flounder [They group hug around Flounder, squeezing him.]
Guys... can't breathe.
[Then Sebastian closes the music box and smiles at the audience]
