Where's Melody?! What have you done with her?!
Louis
You're going in ze bouillabaise!
Ariel
I miss you, Daddy. I wish you could be right here with us.
Eric
You know these waters, and you know our daughter.
Melody
Grandfather this belongs to you.
Ariel
We'll be right down. Just give us two minutes.
Eric
Right, two... Now, where have I heard that line before?
Triton
My precious Melody... I'm giving you this locket so that you will never forget that part of your heart... will always belong to the sea. [opens the locket to reveal Atlantica with merpeople swimming around as Melody coos happy]
Ariel
Melody!
Morgana
A party!
Sebastian
Ursula's crazy sister!
Morgana
I didn't miss the cake and ice cream, did I? [evil laugh]
Triton
Morgana! [and also losing control of his rage with his magic trident at full power] Surrender the baby, or I'll...
Morgana
Uh-uh-uh. [She gives Melody a kiss on the cheek, while Triton can't blasts her while she's got Melody as a hostage] Ursula would have simply loved to have come... but something came up. Now-Now, what was it? Oh, yes. You all SHISH-KEBABBED HER! One minute you're on top, the next you're sushi. [turns to Grimsby] Now, is that fair, gramps? I ask you. But then, whoever said we had to play fair? [chuckles] Oh, Undertow!
Undertow
MAKE WAY, LITTLE MERSHRIMP! [the merfolks swam out of the way in fear] I'M COMING THROUGH! [swam towards the ship with a grin]
Ariel
Morgana
Now hand over the trident, or your precious granddaughter... will be shark chow!
Triton
You can have anything you want. Just don't harm little Melody.
Morgana
Well, well. I get the trident... avenge poor, unfortunate Ursula... and gain all the powers of the ocean! And it's not even ten o'clock. [chuckles] Not a bad morning.
Eric
Hit the deck!
[Morgana gets hit while flinging Melody and Morgana bumped to the rope ladder to her two pet rays, who screaming. Melody was falling down as Eric ran to her, Undertow and Meowth jumped up, as Melody was still falling down, Eric grabs onto a rope and swings to her, Undertow opened his mouth wide and prepares to attack. But then Triton fires his Trident at Undertow and shrunk him down to the size of a mini-shark, while Eric catches Melody just in time and landed on board]
Ariel
Melody!
Undertow
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?! LOOK AT ME! I'M AN ANCHOVY!!! [gasps in horrified]
Morgana
This isn't the end, Triton! It's just the beginning!
Triton
After her!
King Triton's guards swam after Morgana and her minions. Morgana laughs evilly as she creates a cloud of ink while spinning]
Morgana
You'll never find me! But I'll find you... [as she and her minions disappeared as King Triton's guards along who is too late to catch them] ...and your precious granddaughter! [evil laugh]
Triton
We shall not rest until that mad woman is vanquished! FIND HER!!! FIND HER!!! [fires lightning into the sky as an order and Morgana is nowhere to be found. Flounder and Sebastian are with Triton at the castle about Morgana's disappearance with terrible news]
Triton
I'm sorry. There is no sign of her, she's vanished. [Ariel is worried and Melody crawls to the sea] We'll keep trying, we'll-
Ariel
Sweetie, no. [pulls Melody out of the water] We need to keep Melody away from her until we find Morgana, it’s because Melody can't go to the sea...and neither can i.
Flounder
But, Ariel...
Ariel
I'm sorry, Flounder, but if Morgana is anything like Ursula, she'll never give up. [Melody taps on her magic wand] This is the only way; [takes the necklace from from Melody's neck] Melody can't know about Merpeople or Atlantica, or even you, Daddy. [gives it back to Triton]
Triton
Very well, Ariel. You're right. [turns to Sebastian] Sebastian you will watch over her.
Sebastian
Me? [fainting] Aww!
[King Triton gives one last sad look to his daughter and her husband before dropping his gift for Melody down to the water and left with Flounder while Ariel, Eric and Melody left for Eric's Castle]
Eric
So we're having a bad hair day, huh?
Ariel
If we were, you wouldn't be helping, would you?
Eric
Well i'm just here to let you know, there are a lot of people downstairs.
Ariel
Oh we'll be right down. Give us two minutes.
Eric
Right, two minutes...Where have I heard that before?
Melody
Dad?
Eric
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.
Ariel
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.
Ariel
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.
Triton
Just like your mother.
Melody
Oh, Grandfather!
Triton
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
I have a better idea.
