[Triton berates Ariel for not showing up to attend the Coral Moon gathering after she returns home] King Triton : It is irresponsible. Your sisters are only here for one phase of the Coral Moon. Can you imagine any one of them missing the gathering? Ariel : No. You're right. I'm sorry. Flounder : It wasn't Ariel's fault. We… We… We were exploring, and a shark chased us and… King Triton : Shark? So, you went to the shipwrecks again? Those waters are dangerous. Ariel : You don't have to worry about me. King Triton : Well, I do worry, my little one. I do worry. This obsession with humans has to stop. Ariel : I just want to know more about them. King Triton : You know all you need to know. Ariel : I barely know anything. You won't even let us go to the surface. King Triton : Why do you have be so strong-minded? Just like your mother. It… Ariel : I am her daughter. King Triton : Yes, foolish enough to be taken with the human world. Ariel : If you would just try to understand… King Triton : Well, I have tried. I have tried to understand you long enough. But as long as you live in my ocean, you'll obey my rules. Do you understand that? [Ariel swims out of the throne room in disappointment] Sebastian : Children: you give them an inch, they swim all over you. King Triton : [sighs] Was I too hard on her? Sebastian : Definitely not. It's like I always say, "Children got to live by their parents' rules." King Triton : You're absolutely right, Sebastian. My Ariel needs constant supervision.
