I miss you, Daddy. I wish you could be right here with us.
You know these waters, and you know our daughter.
Melody Grandfather this belongs to you.
Melody Hey, Scuttle! Hey, Sebastian! What's kickin'?
Scuttle
Uh, what's kickin'? Hmm... let me see. [he knocks on his head] Don't rush me!
Ha! You know perfectly well what's kicking!
Melody, child, how many times do I have to tell you?
Melody and Sebastian
It is expressly forbidden for you to be swimming...
Melody ...beyond the safety of the sea wall.
...beyond the safety of the sea wall.
Melody Any such swimmin' is a reckless disregard of da rules. Don't you know?
Melody Oh, Sebastian, I can't help it. I just love the sea!
Melody What's wrong with me?
Oh, nothing's wrong with you.
Melody Mom, I'm the princess of disaster!
Being a teenager is hard, and, uh, all kids your age feel... awkward, and...
Melody [looking at her locket]
"Melody?" My name's on here. [she opens it] That song. Where have I heard it? It's Atlantica, with merpeople and everything. Mother, you always said it was just an old fish tale! [Ariel snaps the locket shut]
Where did you get this?
Melody I... I found it.
You went over the wall, didn't you?
Melody Actually, I went under it. I HATE that stupid wall.
Melody, you know you're not allowed in the sea.
Melody But why? And why does that necklace have my name on it?
Melody, listen to me.
Melody You're hiding something from me.
Y-you deliberately disobeyed me! I never want you going out there again, do you hear me? It's dangerous in the sea!
Melody How would you know? You've never even been in it!
Melody Hi. I'm Melody.
Dash
This here's Tip, and I'm Dash.
Excuse me, Mr. I-Spill-My-Guts-To-Total-Strangers. You just blew our cover!
Dash
I was just trying to be friendly.
Melody Guys, I really have to get going, so if you could...
Dash
Aww, see? Now she's gonna leave, and it's all your fault.
MY FAULT?! She's...She's probably allergic to blubber!
Dash
Oh yeah? Well...maybe she doesn't like BIRDS THAT CAN'T FLY!
Melody [Tip gasps dramatically]
Guys...
Well, you can't fly, either!
Dash
And...you walk funny.
Melody Guys!
OH, YEAH?! Well...um...YOU CAN'T FLY EITHER!
Melody GUYS! [the bickering duo finally stop] Do either of you know how to get to Atlantica? I don't have much time.
Dash
Why do you want to go to Atlantica?
Melody I have to get something that was stolen from a friend. [shows them her tail] If not...I'll turn back into a...
Dash
A what? Turn back into a what?
Melody A human.
[startled gasp]
I knew there was something UN-fishy about you! [turns to leave] Tough break, sister. Drop us a line. Let us know how it all turns out.
Dash
[stops Tip with a fore-flipper and turns him around]
We'll take you!
Melody You will?
We will?!
Dash
She's a damsel in distress. It's our big chance.
Oh, there you are, darling! [as Melody arrives the trident] Oh, I was so worried about you. And look! You've brought back my trident. Clever girl.
Give it! Give it! Give it! [Morgana angrily snatches him with one of her tentacles and go back to her chair] Hey! [and covers his mouth from Morgana with one of her tentacles]
Forgive him, dear. He's got a little size issue. Now, if you'll just hand over the...
[as she arrives with Flounder and tries to stop Melody from giving Morgana Triton's trident]
Melody, don't!
Melody Mom!
Don't listen to her, and–!
Ariel and Melody
[Both Melody and Ariel are surprised to see each other as mermaids]
You're a mermaid?
Ariel, how nice of you to come, and you've brought Flopper with you.
The name's Flounder.
Grrr!
"Grrr" yourself, pipsqueak!
Get that thing and hit me. One bite, and he's shrimp toast.
Sweetheart, hand me my trident now.
Melody All this time, and you never told me?
Kept the most important secret in her whole life from her own daughter.
Please, give it to me, Melody.
No. Hand it to me. It's for your own good.
She's lying!
I've given you what you've always wanted. She's the one who lied to you all these years.
I was trying to protect you.
Melody By fencing me in? You knew how much I loved the sea. Why did you keep the truth from me?
Melody, listen to me. If there was one thing in my life that I could do over, l...
Melody [turns her back on her mother before handing Morgana the trident]
Too late, Mom.
Melody, no!
[giving the trident, who builds power into her body from Melody, who turns against her and evil laugh]
All the power of the seven seas at my command!
Hello! Can we get with the program? It's still a small world down here!
Melody [Morgana then snatches Ariel with one of her tentacles]
Mom!
Your mommy was only trying to protect you from moi! What she did, she did out of...love. Little Melody's been a very naughty girl...stealing from her own grandfather.
Melody My...my grandfather?
King Triton, ruler of Atlantica...commander in chief of all of the oceans! Or at least he was, until a certain little thief came along.
Melody You tricked me.
You've got no one to blame but yourself. Tell me, Melody. Is being a mermaid everything you dreamed? Was it worth it? [evil laugh as she flings Melody into an ice cave]
Melody!
[traps Melody and Flounder into the cave with the trident's power, but not leaving a small hole]
Oh, and by the way... your time as a mermaid has just about expired. [closes it up] Catch you later. I've got bigger fish to fry!
Bigger fish! Now, there's an idea!
Melody and Flounder
[grunts]
Melody It's no use. It's too thick. [crying] Oh, Flounder. I've ruined everything.
Melody [After Morgana is gone, Melody waking up in her father, Eric's arms]
Dad?
Oh, Melody. I was so afraid we'd lost you. [puts her down next to her mother as she hugs her sorrowful]
Melody I'm sorry, Mother.
Oh, no, sweetie. We're sorry. We should have told you the truth.
Melody I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I just hoped I'd be a better mermaid than a girl.
Oh, Melody, sweetie, it doesn't matter if you have fins or feet. We love you for who you are on the inside: Our very brave little girl.
Just like your mother.
Melody Oh, Grandfather!
Melody, I don't blame you for wanting to join us merfolk. And because you're my granddaughter... I'm giving you a most precious gift: A choice. You can come to Atlantica with me... or you can return to your home on land. It's up to you.
Melody [thinks it over for a bit]
I have a better idea.
