Quotes 

  • Ariel : [as she and Eric are about to depart for uncharted waters after their wedding]  Thank you for hearing me.

    King Triton : You shouldn't have had to give up your voice to be heard.

  • Flounder : [as he and Ariel are about to explore a sunken shipwreck]  We aren't supposed to be this far from the palace, Ariel.

    Ariel : Getting cold fins?

  • Ariel : [from teaser trailer; singing]  Out of the sea, wish I could be, part of that world.

  • Ariel : [singing]  I don't know when, I don't know how, / But I know something's starting right now / Watch and you'll see, / Someday I'll be, / Part of your world!

  • Ursula : [from TV spot; to Ariel]  You can't live in that world unless you become a human yourself.

    Ariel : I don't know.

    Ursula : Life's full of tough choices, ithn't it?

  • King Triton : [from official trailer]  He's a human; you're a mermaid.

    Ariel : That doesn't make us enemies.

  • King Triton : [from official trailer]  You broke the rules. You went to the above world.

    Ariel : A man was drowning; I had to save him.

    King Triton : This obsession with humans has to stop.

    Ariel : I just want to know more about them.

  • Ariel : Are you okay, Flounder?

    Flounder : Sure, we've gotta show 'em who's in...

    [he's interrupted by Scuttle, diving in to catch a guppy in her bill from a school of them who almost swim hurriedly away, as well as Flounder] 

    Ariel : [giggling]  Come back Flounder, it's just Scuttle!

  • Prince Eric : Ariel?

    Ariel : Yes?

    Prince Eric : It was you all along; I don't know what came over me.

    Ariel : She bewitched you.

    Vanessa : Get away from her!

    Ariel : Eric, I need to tell you everything.

    Sebastian : Come on.

    Prince Eric : None of that matters now.

  • Flounder : Ariel... are you okay?

    Ariel : He doesn't even *hear* me. I'm just--not like him, and I don't see things the way he does. But I... I don't see how a world that makes--such wonderful things could be so bad.

  • Ariel : [seeing Eric trying to climb aboard a risen ship from the bottom of the ocean]  Eric, look out!

  • Ariel : [as she sees a shark about to break a sunken ship window to try to eat Flounder; quickly]  Flounder, look out!

  • Ariel : Dont' be such a guppy

  • King Triton : [as Ariel has just come home late]  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?

    [Flounder backs away, having accidentally ratted out Ariel] 

    King Triton : 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 to be so strong-minded? Just like your mother.

    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 sadly swims away] 

    Sebastian : [about Ariel's antics]  Children, you give them an inch, they swim all over you.

    King Triton : Was I too hard on her?

    Sebastian : [agreeing with everything Triton says]  Definitely not. It's like I always say, "Children got to live by their parent's rules."

    King Triton : You're absolutely right, Sebastian. My Ariel needs constant supervision.

    Sebastian : Constant.

    King Triton : Someone to watch over her.

    Sebastian : All the time, day and night.

    King Triton : And you're just the crab to do it.

    Sebastian : I am just the crab to... No, wait, that's not... What? No, see, I serve you, Your Majesty, as your honored majordomo.

    King Triton : There is no better way you can serve me than to make sure my little one stays out of trouble.

    Sebastian : But I...

    King Triton : Yes? Go. Go.

    Sebastian : Yes, Your Majesty.

    [reluctantly swims after Ariel] 

    Sebastian : How do I get myself into these situations? I'm an educated crustacean. I got options. I don't need this. I should be advising the King, not chasing after some headstrong teenager.

  • King Triton : [having discovered Ariel's grotto, which now houses the Eric statue, as Sebastian has just ratted her out]  So... You broke the rules? You went to the above world.

    Ariel : There was a shipwreck. A man was drowning. I had to save him.

    King Triton : You should have let him drown. They're savages.

    Ariel : You don't know that.

    King Triton : They killed your mother.

    Ariel : I know. But... one man did. Why blame every human? Mother wouldn't.

    King Triton : No! Enough. That's enough.

    Ariel : And Eric had nothing to do with it.

    King Triton : Eric? Eric? Have you lost your senses completely?

    Ariel : If you would have just heard him, Father. He's compassionate and kind and...

    King Triton : [oblivious to her description]  He's a human! You're a mermaid!

    Ariel : Yes. But that doesn't make us enemies.

    King Triton : Promise me you will never look for him again.

    Ariel : I can't.

    King Triton : Promise me, Ariel!

    Ariel : I can't lie to you. I won't.

    King Triton : [fed up with her daughter's rebellious nature]  I swear, I will get through to you!

    [starts destroying the treasures with his trident] 

    Ariel : No! Please! Father, stop.

    King Triton : This ends now!

    Ariel : [clinging onto the trident]  Please, stop it!

    King Triton : [thrusts her off]  It's for your own good.

    [takes aim at the Eric statue] 

    Ariel : Father, no!

    [he obliterates the statue, and Ariel starts to mourn her boyfriend's shattered likeness] 

    King Triton : Never leave again.
