Eric : King Triton? Extra : Way, ruler of the merpeople. Thought every good sailor know about him. Grimsby : Merpeople. Eric, pay no attention... To this nautical nonsense. Sailors : It ain't nonsense. It's the truth. Down in the depths of the ocean they live Oh! Grimsby : Ah! In mysterious fathoms below. Fish : Whew! Extra : Ahem. His royal highness, King Triton. And presenting the distinguished court composer, Horatio Felonious Ignacious Crustaceous Sebastian! Sebastian : Whoa! Triton : I'm really looking forward to this performance, Sebastian. Sebastian : Your majesty, this will be the finest concert... I have ever conducted. Your daughters they will be spectacular. Triton : Yes, and especially my little Ariel. Sebastian : Yes, yes. She has the most beautiful voice. If only she'd show up for rehearsals once in a while. We are the daughters of Triton great father who loves us and named us well Aquata Andrina Arista Attina Adella Alana and then there is the youngest in her musical debut our seventh little sister, we're presenting her to you to sing a song Sebastian wrote her voice is like a bell she's our sister, Ari...... Triton : Ariel! Flounder : Ariel, wait for me. Ariel : Flounder, hurry up. Flounder : You know I can't swim that fast. Ariel : There it is. Isn't it fantastic? Flounder : Yeah, it's great, now let's get out of here. Ariel : Are you getting cold fins? Flounder : who, me? No way. It's just that... It looks damp in there. I think I may be coming down with something. I got this cough. Ariel : All right, I'm going inside. You can stay here and watch for sharks. Flounder : Okay. I'll stay and... sharks! Ariel! Ariel, I can't... I mean... Ariel, help! Ariel : Oh, Flounder. Flounder : Ariel, do you think there might be sharks around here? Ariel : Don't be such a guppy. Flounder : I'm not a guppy. This is great. I really love this. Excitement, adventure, danger lurking around every corner... Ahhh! Ariel! Ariel : Are you okay? Flounder : Yeah, sure. I'm okay. Ariel : Shhh. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh! Have you ever seen anything so wonderful in your entire life? Flounder : Cool! But what is it? Ariel : I don't know, but I bet Scuttle will. Flounder : What was that? Did you hear something? Ariel : I wonder what this one is. Flounder : Ariel. Ariel : Will you relax? Nothing is going to happen. Flounder : Sharks! We're gonna die! Ahh! Oh, no! You big bully. Ariel : Flounder, you really are a guppy. Flounder : I am not. Scuttle : Hm-hm fourteen hundred and ninety-two dum-de-dum do-do-do um-dim-dim do-do-dee-do Ariel : Scuttle! Scuttle : Mermaid off the port bow! Ariel, how you doing, kid? Whoa, what a swim. Ariel : Scuttle, look what we found. Flounder : We were in this creepy sunken ship... Scuttle : Human stuff, huh? Let me see. Look at this. Wow, this is special. This is very unusual. Ariel : What is it? Scuttle : It's a dinglehopper. Humans use these little babies... to straighten their hair out. Just a little twirl here... and a yank there, and viola... an aesthetically pleasing configuration of hair... that humans go nuts over. Ariel : A dinglehopper. Flounder : What about that one? Scuttle : This... I haven't seen in years. This is wonderful! A banded, bulbous... snarfblatt. Ariel : Oh! Scuttle : The snarfblatt dates back to prehistorica times... when humans used to sit around... and stare at each other all day. It got very boring. So, they invented this snarfblatt... To make find music. Allow me. Ariel : Music! Scuttle : It's stuck! Ariel : The concert! My father's gonna kill me! Flounder : The concert was today? Scuttle : Maybe you can make a planter out of it or something. Ariel : I'm sorry. I've gotta go. Thank you! Scuttle : Anytime, sweetie! Anytime. Ursula : Yes, hurry home, princess. We wouldn't want to miss old daddy's celebration, now would we? Ha! Celebration, indeed. Oh, bah! In my day, we had fantastical feasts, when I lived in the palace. And now look at me. Wasted away to practically nothing. Banished and exiled, and practically starving, While he and his flimsy fish folk... celebrate. Well, I'll give him something to celebrate soon enough. Flotsam, Jetsam! I want you keep an extra close watch. On this pretty little daughter of his. She may be the key... to Triton's undoing. Triton : I just don't know... What we're going to do with you, young lady. Ariel : I forgot. Triton : As a result of your behaviour... Sebastian : Reckless behaviour! Triton : The entire celebration... Sebastian : It was ruined, completely destroyed! This concert was to be... the pinnacle of my distinguished career. Now I'm the laughingstock of the entire Kingdom! Flounder : But it wasn't her fault. Fist, this shark chased us. yeah, and we tried to, but we couldn't Grrr, and we went "whoa." Ahhh, and then we were safe. Then this sea gull said, "This is this... Triton : Sea gull? You went up to the surface again, didn't you? Didn't you? Ariel : Nothing happened. Triton : Ariel, how many times must we go through this? You could have been seen by one of those barbarians, by one of those humans! Ariel : They're not barbarians! Triton : Do you think I want to see... my daughter snared by some fish-eater's hook? Ariel : I'm 16 years old i'm not a child! Triton : Don't take that tone of voice with me! as long as you live under my ocean, you'll obey me. Ariel : If you... Triton : not another word. And I am never, never to hear of you going to the surface again. Is that, clear? Sebastian : Hmph, teenagers! They think they know everything. You give them an inch, they swim all over you. Triton : Do you think... I was too hard on her? Sebastian : Definitely not! If Ariel was my daughter, I'd show her who was boss. none of this flitting to the surface. I'd keep her under tight control. Triton : You're absolutely right. Sebastian : Of course. Triton : Ariel needs supervision, someone to watch over her... to keep her out of trouble, and you are just the crab to do it. Sebastian : How do I get myself into these situations I should be writing symphonies, not tagging along after some headstrong teenager. What is that girl up to? Huh? Flounder : Ariel, are you okay? Ariel : If only I could make him understand. I just don't see things the way he does. I don't see how a world... that makes such wonderful things... could be bad. Look at this stuff isn't it neat wouldn't you think my collection's complete wouldn't you think I'm the girl the girl who has everything look at this trove, treasures untold how many wonders can one cavern hold look in around here you'd think sure, she's got everything I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty I've got whozits and whatzits galore you want thingamabobs I've got twenty but who cares no big deal I want more I want to be where the people are I wanna see wanna see 'em dancing walking around on those what so you call 'em? oh, feet. flipping your fins you don't get to far legs are required for jumping, dancing strolling along down a what's that word again?

Ariel : I've never seen... a human this close before. Oh, he's very handsome, isn't he? Scuttle : I don't know. He looks... Hairy and slobbery to me. Ariel : Not that one, the one playing the snarfblatt. Grimsby : Silence, silence. It is now my honour and privilege... to present our esteemed Prince Eric... with a very special, very expensive, very large... birthday present. Eric : Ah, Grimsby, you shouldn't have. Grimsby : I know. Happy birthday, Eric. Eric : Gee, Grim, it's, uh, it's really something. Grimsby : I commissioned it myself. Of course, I had hoped... It would be a wadding present. Eric : Come on, Grim, don't start. Are you still sore because I didn't fall... For the Princess of Glowerhaven? Grimsby : It isn't me alone. The entire kingdom wants to see you happily settled down... With the right girl. Eric : She's out there somewhere. I just haven't found her yet. Grimsby : perhaps you haven't been looking hard enough. Eric : When I find her, I'll know, without a doubt. It'll just hit me, like lightning. Extra : Hurricane a-comin'! Stand fast! Secure the rigging! Scuttle : Whoa! The wind's all of a sudden on a move here! Ariel! Eric : Look out! Grim, hang on! Max! Jump! You can do it! Grimsby : Eric! Ariel : Is he... Dead? Scuttle : It's hard to say. Oh, I can't make out a heartbeat. Ariel : Look! he's breathing. He's so beautiful. What would I give to live where you are what would I pay to stay here beside you what would I do to see you smiling at me where would we walk where we run if we could stay all day in the sun just you and me and I could be part of your world. Grimsby : Eric? Eric! You really delight in these... sadistic strains on my blood pressure. Eric : A girl... rescued me. She had the most beautiful voice. Grimsby : I think you've swallowed a bit too much seawater. Off we go. Come on, Max. Sebastian : We gonna forget this ever happened. The sea king will never know. You won't tell him. I won't tell him. I will stay in one piece. I don't know when I don't know how but know something's starting right now watch and you'll see someday I'll be part of your world. Ursula : Oh. no, no, no. I can't stand it. It's too easy. The child is in love with a human. not just any human, a Prince! Her daddy'll love that. King Triton's headstrong, lovesick girl would make a charming... addition to my little garden. Andrina : Ariel, dear, time to come out. You've been in there all morning. Aquata : What is with her lately? Ariel : Oh! Morning, daddy Aquata : She's got it bad. Triton : what has she got? Aquata : Isn't it obvious, daddy? Ariel's in love. Triton : Ariel... in love? Sebastian : Okay. So far, so good. I don't think the king knows. It will not be easy keeping this secret for long! Ariel : He loves me. He loves me not. He loves me! I know it! Sebastian : Ariel, stop talking crazy! Ariel : I've got to see him tonight. Scuttle knows where he loves. Sebastian : Ariel, get your head out of the clouds... and in the water where it belongs.

Together forever. Ariel : I don't understand. Jetsam : Ursula... has great powers. Ariel : The sea witch? Why that's... I couldn't possibly. No! get out of here. Leave me alone.

Now, then, you're here because you have a thing for this human, this prince fellow. Not that I blame you. He is quite a catch, isn't he? Well, angel fish, the solution to your problem is simple. The only way to get what you want, is to become a human. Ariel : Can you do that? Ursula : My dear, sweet child, that's what I do! It's what I live for, to help unfortunate merfolk like yourself, poor souls with... No one else to turn to. I admit that in the past I've been a nasty they weren't kidding when they called me well, a witch but you'll find that nowadays I've mended all my ways repented, seen the light and made a switch true? Yes. And I fortunately know a little magic it's a talent that a always have possessed and here lately, please don't laugh, I use it on behalf of the miserable, the lonely and depressed pathetic. Poor, unfortunate souls in pain, in need this one longing to be thinner that one wants to get the girl and do I help them yes, indeed those poor, unfortunate souls so sad, so true they come flocking to my cauldron crying spells, Ursula, please and I help them yes, I do now it's happened once or twice someone couldn't pay the price and I'm afraid I had to rack'em across the coals yes, I've had the odd complaint but on the whole I've been a saint to those poor, unfortunate souls. Now, here's the deal. I will make you a potion... That will turn you into a human for 3 days. got that? 3 days. Listen. This is important. Before the sun sets on the 3rd day, you've got to get... Dear old prince to fall in love with you. That is, he's got to kiss you. Not just any kiss, the kiss of true love. If he dose kiss you before the sun sets, you'll remain human permanently. If he doesn't you'll turn back into a mermaid. And... you'll belong to me. Sebastian : No, Ariel! Ursula : Have we got a deal? Ariel : If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again. Ursula : That's right. but you'll have your man. Life's full of tough choices, isn't it? Oh, and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the subject of payment. You can't get something for nothing, you know. Ariel : I don't... Ursula : I'm not asking much, just a token, a trifle. You'll never miss it.

Then I guess there's just one problem left. Sebastian : What's that, your majesty? Triton : How much I'm going to miss her. Sebastian : Ah ha! Ha, ha, ha. Yes! Thank you, thank you. Ariel : I love you, daddy. Now we can walk now we can run now we can stay all day in the sun just you and me and I can be part of your world. ******The End****** Back to Samantha's Little Mermaid page> http://www.robbo24.freeserve.co.uk/samantha.htm
