Hey! Hey! Hey!

What are you doing?

-It's a mermaid ! -A mermaid?

Use your eyes!

What were you thinking?

These are dangerous waters.

And this is a dangerous time.

Tonight's the Coral Moon.

They say this is when the Sea King calls

his mermaid daughters together

to lure men to their deaths.

-Is that what they say? -Aye.

Not even the strongest can resist their spell .

It's just an old lore.

You ought to stop worrying so much about me, Grimsby.

-(CH UCKLES) -GRI MSBY: Call me selfish,

but I do not want to tell the Queen

that her son fell overboard on my watch.

And on his birthday, of all days.

Looks like there's a Spanish galleon out there

headed toward the mainland .

We could follow it to port,

see what they've brought to trade.

Our ship is loaded to the gills as it is.

We've risked our necks out here

for seven weeks already.

We're going home tonight.

You can go find her.

H umans use these babies to style their hair.

You just give it a little twirl ,

and you're left with an artistically pleasing

conflagration of hair that humans go nuts for.

Really? I would love to see that.

-Can't. -Flounder.

You know it's true.

Your father still won't let you go to the surface, huh?

No, it's forbidden.

He thinks all humans are barbarians.

Oh, they're not so bad .

U nless you're a coconut.

They hate coconuts.

I swear, they get a hold of one,

they smash it to pieces, just like that. It's weird .

We wouldn 't want to be late

for Daddy's gathering, now, would we?

Perhaps I'll join them.

Oh, wait, what a shame.

It seems that Big Brother forgot

to invite Auntie U rsula to the party.

Wasting away to practically nothing.

Banished and exiled , driven halfway to madness

While Daddy and his spoiled little mer-brats

celebrate the Coral Moon.

Well , I'll give them something to celebrate.

I may have finally found Daddy's weakness.

Yes.

Red's fascination with humans might be just the opening

I've been waiting for.

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? -ARI EL: No. You're right.

-I'm sorry. -It wasn't Ariel's fault.

We. . . We. . . We were exploring, and a shark chased us and ...

Shark?

So, you went to the shipwrecks again?

Those waters are dangerous.

You don't have to worry about me.

Well , I do worry, my little one. I do worry.

This obsession with humans has to stop.

I just want to know more about them.

You know all you need to know.

I barely know anything.

You won't even let us go to the surface.

Why do you have to be so strong-minded?

-Just like your mother. It. . . -I am her daughter.

Yes, foolish enough to be taken

with the human world .

If you would just try to understand ...

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?

(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYI NG)

Children, you give them an inch,

-they swim all over you . -(SIGHS)

Was I too hard on her?

Definitely not.

It's like I always say,

"Children got to live by their parent's rules."

You're absolutely right, Sebastian.

SEBASTIAN : H mm.

My Ariel needs constant supervision.

Constant.

Someone to watch over her.

All the time, day and night.

And you're just the crab to do it.

I am just the crab to...

No, wait, that's not. . . What?

No, see, I serve you , Your Majesty,

as your honored majordomo.

There is no better way you can serve me

than to make sure my little one

stays out of trouble.

-But I . . . -TRITON : Yes?

Go.

Go.

Yes, Your Majesty.

How do I get myself into these situations?

I'm an educated crustacean.

I don't need this.

I should be advising the King,

not chasing after some headstrong teenager.

Ariel !

Oh. Yes, of course.

CASPIA: How do we untangle this?

Do these humans have any idea

how much damage their shipwrecks do?

I don't think they intended to have a shipwreck.

CASPIA: They are careless, Ariel .

It will take thousands of years

for this coral to grow back.

And they've killed nearly all of the sea fern.

They'd kill us too, if they had the chance.

No, no. They're not all like that.

PERLA: Oh? How would you know?

You've never even seen one.

You were just a child when Mother died ,

and Father stopped us going to the surface.

I just mean, we're not all the same,

so why should humans be?

TRITON : What about humans?

I . . . I just meant...

Look at what their shipwreck did .

They got what they deserved .

They are the most dangerous species of all .

Spoiling our waters,

destroying the reefs,

having no respect for the balance of the oceans.

They're not the only ones

who have no respect for balance.

Ariel , where are you ...

What's going on with her?

Oh, she's just at that age

with her older sisters anymore.

A lot ofsand

We got a hot crustacean band Yeah!

Each little clam here Know how tojam here

Under the sea

Each little slug here Cutting a rug here

Under the sea

Each little snail here Know how to wail here

That's why it's hotter Under the water
