[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 ♪
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.
Shelbow 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...
Shelbow Use your claws to pick the lock, man.
And open that door! [They have each other about that being a good plan]
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]
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.
Shelbow I'm with her.
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]
Shelbow Except you.
Look, Sebastian, without music, this place just isn't home.
Shelbow 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!
FREEDOM! [They go through the cell door ramming Sebastian against the wall]
Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go!
Flounder, shh! Move it, move it, move it, mon.
Move it, move it, move it.
Shelbow Shh!
[scatting loudly]
YEAH! HIT ME!
Hey, small fry, I think you could use some lessons in fugitivity.
Oh, yeah. Right. Got it. [conutining scatting]
You're gonna blow it for all of us.
Blow, good. [continues scatting]
Shelbow Hey, kid, ixnay on the soundtrack.
Shelbow The big house!
Music is against the law, you dig?
Come on. We ran away so we could sing. And I'm singing. Sing it with me. [scatting]
Shelbow You know, the kid's striking a major chord.
Shelbow Look at him go with his bad little self.

Where are we going exactly?
[To Flounder]
Don't worry, mon.
'Cause I got to go to the bathroom.
Are you sure?
Sebastian Yes.
[losing control of his rage and yelling at Ariel]
YES!!!
Oh, man. We can't live here!
Shelbow 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.
Shelbow 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]
Sebastian, be honest. Are we lost?
No, this is fine. There's more to this place than meets the eye.
[The gang went to sleep until...] [Once again, scatting]
E Everyone
[angrily]
KNOCK IT OFF!
[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.
Shelbow 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...
Shelbow 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...
Shelbow We just can't take that chance.
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]
What? No, no, wait. Ray-Ray! Guys! We can't just let them go back alone.
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.
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]
[At the final battle is over, Marina, still stick in a tube, decides to swim up and run over Sebastian] [gasps]
SEBASTIAN!
[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.
[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!
Shelbow Big hug!
[They group hug around Flounder, squeezing him.]
Guys... can't breathe.
[Then Sebastian closes the music box and smiles at the audience]
