MAN 2: Wonderful!

(COOING)

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.

(MUSIC BOX PLAYING)

(COOING CONTINUES)

Melody!

(CACKLING)

A party!

Ursula's crazy sister!

I didn't miss the cake and ice cream, did I? (LAUGHING)

Morgana!

Surrender the baby, or I'll...

Ah-ah-ah.

Ursula would have simply loved to have come,

but something came up.

Now, what was it? Oh, yes.

- (GASPS) - You all shish-kebabbed her!

One minute you're on top, the next you're sushi.

Now, is that fair, Gramps? I ask you.

But then, whoever said we had to play fair?

(CACKLES)

Oh, Undertow!

Make way, little mershrimp!

I'm comin' through!

(GASPS)

(MELODY COOING)

Hand over the trident,

or your precious granddaughter will be shark chow!

You can have anything you want.

Just don't harm little Melody.

Well, well.

I get the trident,

avenge poor, unfortunate Ursula,

and gain all the powers of the ocean,

and it's not even 10:00.

Not a bad morning.

- Hit the deck! - (GROANS)

Ahh! Ohh!

(BOTH SCREAM)

(COOING CONTINUES)

(GASPS)

Melody!

What have you done to me? Look at me!

I'm an anchovy! Ah!

This isn't the end, Triton! It's just the beginning!

After her!

(MORGANA CACKLING)

You'll never find me!

But I'll find you

and your precious granddaughter!

We shall not rest until that madwoman is vanquished!

Find her!

TRITON: I'm sorry. There is no sign of her. She's vanished.

- We'll keep trying. - ARIEL: Sweetie, no.

Oh, we've got to keep Melody away from her.

Until Morgana is found, Melody can't go in the sea.

And neither will I.

- But, Ariel... - I'm sorry, Flounder.

But if Morgana is anything like Ursula, she'll never give up.

This is the only way.

Melody can't know about merpeople or Atlantica

or even you, Daddy.

(SIGHS)

Very well, Ariel.

You're right.

Sebastian, you will watch over her.

Me?

Aww!

ARIEL: Melody?

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

Melody?

Oh, Carlotta, have you seen Melody?

Not since this morning, Your Majesty.

(CHEF LOUIS HUMMING)

Louis, Melody's not in here, is she?

No, Your Highness, but her birthday cake is.

Twelve petite candles.

C'est magnifique!

Whoa-ohh!

(CHUCKLES)

Whoo-eee!

This is gonna be some kind of shindig.

Yes, sir, a real swanky soiree, as they say.

There's just one thing missing, the guest of honour!

"Sebastian, you watch over her," he said.

(GRUNTS)

I'm too old for this!

A crab my age should be retired, getting a tan,

playing sea golf,

sipping a tuna colada!

Not baby-sitting another teenager.

Oh. Hmm.

(GASPS) Melody!

(SIGHS)

Hey, Scuttle. Hey, Sebastian. What's kickin'?

Uh, hat's kickin'? Hmm. Let me see.

Don't rush me.

Ha! You know perfectly well what's kicking.

Now, come along. You gonna be late for the...

- (SPLASHING) - (COUGHING)

(GIGGLING)

Sorry, Sebastian.

Melody, child, how many times do I have to tell you?

BOTH: It is expressly forbidden for you to be swimming

beyond the safety of the sea wall.

Beyond the safety of the sea wall.

Any such swimming is a reckless disregard of the rules,

don't you know?

- Stop that. - (GIGGLES)

Oh, Sebastian, I can't help it.

I just love the sea!

Hey! (COUGHING) Come back here!

You're just like,

like your mother.

(CHORTLING) Hi, Melody.

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

(MORGANA LAUGHING)

Trust me!

This time I'm sure I've got it right.

Yeah, that's what you said last time, and I was sore for a week.

Oh, stop your carping and stand still.

Oh, this is gonna hurt.

Yes. Yes. Yes!

Uh-oh.

(SIGHS)

Hmph!

Aw!

(GROANS)

(SNICKERING)

Oh.

It's just no use.

The power of the trident is just too strong for me to overcome.

I bet Ursula could've done it.

What was that you said?

Nothin'. I'm just sayin'...

Stop criticising me!

That's all my mother ever did was criticise me.

It was always Ursula this or Ursula that

or, "Morgana, why can't you be more like your sister

"Ursula!"

Well, it isn't Ursula's fault I got miniaturised.

- It's yours! - Is not!

Your fault that we had to hide out here for 12 frostbitten years.

- Is not! - Your fault that we can never

show our faces in polite society again!

You're really pushing it, small fry.

(MORGANA GASPS)

BOTH: It's the locket!

Ooh-ha-ha!

This is just the kind of break in the ice we've been waiting for.

When Ariel's innocent little daughter

uncovers the secret of that locket,

she's going to have lots of questions.

And who'll be right there with all the answers?

- (CHUCKLES) We will. - Exactly!

She'll be the perfect tool for Triton's undoing.

And I'll get to be big again.

Finally I'll succeed at the one thing my sister never could.

Really, really big again!

Total domination of the seas!

- (CACKLING) - (LAUGHING) I'll be huge!

Melody, please.

If your mother ever found out you'd been swimming out here...

I know, I know. She'd flip.

I had a thought here.

Now, where'd it go? Hmm.

Hey, Sebastian, what's my mom got against the ocean anyway?

I mean, how could there be anything wrong with something so

wonderful?

(MELODY GIGGLES)

You know what?

Sometimes I even pretend

I have fins.

(SIGHS)

I wish I could tell my mom how I feel.

But she'd never understand.

I can talk to crabs, but

not to her.

Wait a minute. (GROANS)

It just hit me.

How 'bout you tell Ariel

how you really feel?

Oh, yes, by all means.

Just waltz right in and tell her you been out here

swimming in the ocean!

We could all just have a big party.

(GASPS) The party!

Say, that reminds me of somethin'.

(MAX BARKING)

- Whoa! - Oh, Your... Your Highness.

Sorry. My fault.

I gotta go. Can't go to the party without shoes.

(GIGGLES)

If you ask me, she's a little strange.

- I heard she actually talks to fish. - (ALL LAUGHING)

BOY 1 : You're kidding.

BOY 2: It should make for an interesting party.

GIRL: Yes! I should say! (LAUGHING)

(MAX BARKING)

(SNIFFING)

(PANTING)

- (SEAGULLS CALLING) - (SIGHS)

I miss you, Daddy.

I wish you could be here with us.

(SIGHS)

- Mother? - (GASPS)

- What are you doing? - Uh, nothing.

(BOTH SIGH)

ARIEL: I'll be right up!

Melody?

(GASPS)

(SPUTTERS)

I'm ready.

(CHUCKLES)

Here. Let me help.

(DOOR OPENS)

So, we're having a bad hair day.

If we were, you wouldn't be helping, would you?

I'm just here to let you know there are a lot of people downstairs...

Oh, we'll be right down. Give us two minutes.

(CHUCKLING) Right, two... Where have I heard that before?

Mom, put down the brush.

- It's hopeless. - Oh.

You look beautiful.

Do I have to do this?

Everybody thinks I'm weird.

Oh, honey, everyone has trouble fitting in at your age.

I know I did.

I was a regular fish out of water.

You? No way.

I'm just so afraid I'm gonna make a total fool of myself.

Melody, this isn't just about the party, is it?

Is there something you want to talk about?

You know you can always tell me anything.

Well, okay.

I mean, it's kinda crazy and

sort of impossible.

Now, don't freak,

but what I dream about more than anything in the whole world...

- (TAPPING ON GLASS) - How's it coming?

Oh, Melody. Is that you?

You look beautiful.

(GIGGLES)

He's right. Now, we'll talk later.

You're going to have a wonderful time tonight. Trust me.

May I present Her Royal Highness,

Princess Melody.

Oh, yeah. Mom's right. I can do this.

(MUFFLED SHOUTS)

Um, hi. Would you like to dance?

(WHISPERS) Go on.

Sure. Okay.

(MUFFLED SHOUTS CONTINUE)

(WALTZ MUSIC PLAYING)

(GROANS)

(MUFFLED SHOUTS CONTINUE)

(GASPS)

- (CRUNCH) - Yeow!

(GASPS)

(YELLING)

Huh?

(YELLING CONTINUES)

Ahh!

(HUMMING)

(LOUD SPLAT)

- Hmm - (LAUGHS)

(GUESTS MURMURING)

- Oh, no! - That's it.

I'm booking myself on a cruise.

- I'm so sorry. - Well, I should say!

- Are you okay, Sebastian? - So.

- Who is she talking to? - (LAUGHING)

- She's talking to a crab! - (GUESTS LAUGHING)

(GASPS)

You!

(GASPS)

- (SHRIEKS) - Saboteur!

(LAUGHING CONTINUES)

You're going in the bouillabaisse!

Oh, no! No, Louis! You don't wanna do this, man!

I'm old! I'm not tender any more!

Louis!

(GROWLS)

Ah!

Huh?

Melody!

(GROWLS)

Death to the crab!

(SPUTTERS)

Oh, Louis!

(SOBBING)

(SOBBING CONTINUES)

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Oh, sweetheart,

I'm so sorry.

What's wrong with me?

Oh, nothing's wrong with you.

Mom, I'm the princess of disaster.

Being a teenager is hard,

and, uh, all kids your age feel awkward.

- And... - Melody?

What is this? My name's on here.

(GASPS)

- (MUSIC BOX PLAYING) - That song. Where have I heard it?

It's Atlantica. With merpeople and everything.

Mother, you always said it was just an old fish tale.

Where did you get this?

I, I found it.

You went over the wall, didn't you?

Actually, I went under it. I hate that stupid wall.

Melody, you know you're not allowed in the sea.

But why?

And why does that necklace have my name on it?

Melody, listen to me.

You're hiding something from me.

You deliberately disobeyed me!

I never want you going out there again! It's dangerous in the sea!

How would you know? You've never even been in it!

(RESUMES SOBBING)

Melody, I...

Uh...

(SIGHS) Oh, no.

Ariel, darling, we knew this day would come.

Oh, Eric.

You're right. It's time I trusted her with the truth.

Oh, now, child, it's gonna be okay.

You know, when I was a teenager

you couldn't get me out of my shell for nothin'.

I had this high, squeaky voice

and these itty-bitty little pincers.

And then one day, boom!

I sound like Caruso and these whoppers pop out!

Young lady, just where do you think you're going?

I've gotta figure this out.

(WHIMPERS)

This necklace means something,

and if no one's gonna tell me,

I'm gonna find out myself.

Ahh!

(GASPING)

Melody, please! You're making a big mistake!

(CHUCKLES)

Oh, this is delicious.

This is divine!

- Let's go, flatsos. - (MORGANA CHUCKLES)

Hurry, Undertow.

There's a little girl out there who needs our help.

All right, Sebastian, you must remain calm.

This is not your fault.

All you have to do is go in there and calmly explain

that Melody has run away.

No reason to lose your head.

Whatever you do, you "absitively," "positutely"

must not panic.

- Melody! - (GASPS)

- Melody's gone, Melody's gone! - Sebastian? What are you doing here?

All my fault! I tried to stop her!

(SOBBING) I don't deserve to live!

Gone? Gone where?

Out, out.

To the sea.

(BLOWS NOSE)

What do you mean? Where could she be going?

To Morgana's.

And she can tell me what this locket means,

why it has my name on it?

(CHUCKLING) Oh, sure, kid.

Morgana's the best. She'll help ya.

Okay. Then let's go.

(CHUCKLES WICKEDLY)

(SNICKERING)

Angel face, meet the one and only

Morgana.

Oh, welcome, my precious.

Oh, don't be shy.

Come in. Come in out of the cold.

Sit, sit.

Put your feet up.

Hungry? Afraid all I have is a cold plate. (CHUCKLES)

Smelt-cicle? Kelp chip?

Hush guppy?

Uh, no, thank you.

I was hoping you could tell me about this pendant,

why it has my name on it.

My mother wouldn't tell me. (SIGHS)

She just doesn't understand.

Oh, you're not the only one with a mother who doesn't understand you.

Believe me, I know just how you feel.

Dear child, did you ever consider that it has your name on it

because it has your destiny in it?

(MUSIC BOX PLAYING)

Oh, deep down you know you weren't meant to be

a lowly human.

What you are is something far more enchanting.

A mermaid?

But it's not possible.

(CHUCKLES) Darling, anything's possible.

You can turn me into a mermaid?

Piece of fish cake, honey.

(MUTTERS) Huh!

Lots a luck.

(HUMMING)

Ah.

Ursula's magic? Where'd you get that?

I've been saving it for a special occasion.

(CHUCKLES) One drop of this and, bada-bing, bada-boom!

You're in fin city! Whee!

- Really? - Come, my darling.

Your destiny awaits you.

(CACKLING)

(CONTINUES CACKLING)

I don't believe it!

I'm a mermaid.

Say it loud, say it proud! (CACKLING)

(LAUGHING)

I'm a mermaid!

(CONTINUES LAUGHING)

You had this all along.

You could've changed me back. Why, I oughta...

Keep your scales on, small fry.

I'm still reeling her in.

ARIEL: Oh, Daddy, I'm so worried.

Everything's going to be all right, Ariel.

We have search parties scouring the ocean.

I'm going to join them now myself.

Ariel, maybe you should go with him.

But, Eric...

I need to stay here and lead the search on land.

But you know these waters,

and you know our daughter.

You have to go.

It may be dangerous.

Eric's right, Daddy.

I should've known I couldn't keep Melody from the sea.

It's a part of her.

And a part of me.

I have to go.

Bring her home.

What a totally cool feeling!

(GIGGLING) Whee!

(GASPS)

(WHIMPERS)

Oh, excuse me. I'm so sorry, ma'am.

What's the matter?

Oh, I knew this would happen.

One taste, and you're hooked.

Oh, Undertow, I'm such a failure, such a...

Oh, my precious,

there wasn't enough potion for this to be a forever spell.

Please, I don't want to go back to being an ordinary girl.

Isn't there some way I can stay a mermaid?

No, I'm afraid there's absolutely no possible way.

Well, there is one way.

No. What am I thinking? It's far too dangerous.

What? What's too dangerous?

Well, I could make the spell last longer

if I had my magic trident.

Oh, but it was stolen years ago by a deranged kleptomaniac,

and there's no one to get it back for me.

Maybe I could get it back for you.

You would do that for me?

If I did, would you make me a mermaid forever?

Even longer, if you like. (CHUCKLES)

Now, here is where the scoundrel lives.

Atlantica? You mean it's not just an old fish tale?

It really exists?

Of course it exists, dear.

Whoever told you otherwise?

My mother.

Well, I'm sure she didn't mean to be cruel and deceitful.

Okay, I'll bring back your trident.

You can count on me!

Be careful, dear.

Enjoy those fins!

While you can.

(CHUCKLES WICKEDLY)

Hmm. Let's see.

South to Two Circles Pass,

then, uh, north to...

No, no, um, east to...

Uh... Hmm.

Ah...

- (SNEEZES) - Whoa!

My map. It's ruined.

Now how am I gonna find my way to Atlantica?

I can't reach her.

This is it, Dash. Redemption.

No, not the walrus.

Oh, was that your face?

We're finally gonna be heroes for real.

Yeah, they're not gonna laugh at us any more.

Hi. I'm Melody.

This here's Tip, and I'm Dash.

Excuse me, Mr I Spill My Guts To Total Strangers.

- You just blew our cover. - I was just trying to be friendly.

Uh, guys, I really need to get going,

so if you could just tell me...

See? Now she's gonna leave, and it's all your fault.

My fault? (SPUTTERS)

- Guys... - She's probably allergic to blubber.

Oh, yeah?

Well, maybe she doesn't like birds that can't fly!

- (GASPS) - Guys...

Well, you can't fly either.

And you walk funny.

- Guys! - Oh, yeah?

Well, you can't fly either!

Guys!

Do either of you know how to get to Atlantica? I don't have much time.

Why do you want to go to Atlantica?

I have to get something that was stolen from a friend.

If I don't, I'll turn back into...

A what? Turn back into a what?

A human.

(GASPS)

I knew there was something unfishy about you.

Tough break, sister. Drop us a line.

Let us know how it all turns out.

It's our big chance.

Hey, guys! Meet Mel-Mel.

- Hi. - Hey, you wanna hang out with us?

All right, all right. Break it up. Break it up!

There's nothing to see here. Move along.

Come on, Miss Popularity.

We have a previous engagement. Remember?

Maybe I'll catch you later.

when you bring a country fish to the big city.

Was that a penguin?

Wow!

DASH: Nice crib.

Come on. Follow me.

That must be him.

He looks sad.

- He doesn't look like a thief. - They never do.

Look! There it is!

A fork? We're risking our tails for a fork?

We haven't time for this.

I want every available merman searching!

Find her!

- (RATTLING) - Hmm.

Dash, if this is the end,

I just want you to know, pal,

I'm sorry I said that thing about the blubber.

- Well, I'm sorry about the fish breath. - Yeah...

- You didn't say anything about that. - But I was thinkin' it.

(BOTH WHIMPERING)

King Triton, your daughter has returned.

- Ooh, that was close. - Whew!

Oh, sure, that's it. Take your time. Kick back. Relax.

Let's all just linger here and die!

I'm sure she'll turn up soon.

He's coming back!

(MELODY GASPS)

My necklace!

Ah, don't worry, Ariel. We'll find her.

Daddy! The trident!

But that's not possible.

Nobody can remove the trident from the stand except you, sire.

You or one of your descendants.

Melody.

Who I was supposed to be watching.

Go ahead, crack me open. Make a crab cake out of me, sire.

But how could she have gotten here?

Morgana. If she gets her hands on my trident...

Double the search parties!

I want every creature in the ocean on patrol!

Yes, sire!

ARIEL: Wait a minute.

I know those two.

It's all my fault.

If I had just paid a little more attention

instead of blabbering on and on and on...

...and on and on.

From now on, Your Majesty, nothing gets past

me.

Whoo-hoo!

Yeah!

We did it!

Uh-huh. Uh...

Hmm?

All this time Atlantica was never that far away from home.

This is your home?

It used to be.

Whoa, what a pad. Talk about your kerb appeal.

But what's with the wall?

I know good fences make good neighbours, but isn't that a bit much?

What you tryin' to keep out?

It wasn't built to keep something out.

It was built to keep me in.

Come on. Let's go.

DASH: Whoa-ho-ho! TIP: Whoo-hoo!

TIP: You know, kid, the three of us, we make a pretty good team.

DASH: Once you're a permanent mermaid, we'll be friends forever.

- We'll be inseparable. - Nothing will ever come between us.

- Shark! Run! Run! - Shark!

No, wait!

- It's just... - (LAUGHS)

Leavin' so soon, boys?

What can I say? When you got it, you got it.

Hey! You got it!

Sweetheart, you're my new hero.

Let's go. It's time for some magic.

But... But my friends...

Ha! You mean you call those two yellow-bellied sea slugs your friends?

Come on!

You wanna be a mermaid, or what?

We got the power. We got the power. (GRUNTING)

We got the power!

(GASPS) So there it is.

Swim back as fast as you can and tell my father. I'll try to find Melody.

Oh, but if that old sea witch is in there, and then there's that mean little shark,

and then those manta rays come, and then she takes those creepy tentacles

so suction cups stick to your face, and...

(SIGHS) Uh-uh.

No way you're going in there alone.

But, Flounder, if we both go,

who's going to tell Daddy where Morgana's lair is?

What's all the whispering about? Is Melody around here?

- Did you find her yet? If she's... - Scuttle!

(WHISPERS) Get down and be quiet.

Wait a minute.

Scuttle can get help.

Scuttle, I need you to pay very close attention.

We're doomed.

Oh, there you are, darling!

Oh, I was so worried about you.

And look! You've brought back my trident.

- Clever girl. - Give it to her! Give it to her!

Hey!

Forgive him, dear. He's got a little size issue.

Now, if you'll just hand over the...

- Melody, don't! Don't listen to her! - Mom!

BOTH: You're a mermaid?

Ariel, how nice of you to come.

And you brought Flopper with you.

The name's Flounder.

Grrr!

"Grrr" yourself, pipsqueak.

Get that thing and hit me.

One bite, and he's shrimp toast.

Sweetheart, hand me my trident now.

All this time, and you never told me?

Kept the most important secret in her whole life from her own daughter.

Please, give it to me, Melody.

No, hand it to me.

- It's for your own good. - She's lying!

I've given you what you've always wanted.

She's the one who lied to you all these years.

- I was trying to protect you. - By fencing me in?

You knew how much I loved the sea.

Why did you keep the truth from me?

Melody, listen to me. If there was one thing in my life that I could do over...

Too late, Mom.

Melody, no!

(CACKLING)

All the power of the seven seas at my command!

Hello! Can we get with the programme?

It's still a small world down here!

Mom!

Your mommy was only trying to protect you from moi!

What she did, she did out of... (SNIFFS)

...love.

Little Melody's been a very naughty girl,

stealing from her own grandfather.

My grandfather?

King Triton, ruler of Atlantica, commander in chief of all of the oceans!

Or at least he was, until a certain little thief came along.

You tricked me.

You've got no one to blame but yourself.

Tell me, Melody.

Is being a mermaid everything you dreamed?

Was it worth it?

(CACKLING)

(GASPS)

Oh!

- (GROANS) - Melody!

Oh, and by the way,

your time as a mermaid has just about expired.

Catch you later.

I've got bigger fish to fry!

Bigger fish! Now, there's an idea!

(GRUNTING)

We gotta keep trying.

It's no use. It's too thick.

(SOBBING) Oh, Flounder.

I've ruined everything.

We're guppies, man. Jellyfish.

The great Tip and Dash.

Cowards-slash-losers.

Well, at least we're alive.

Yeah, if you wanna call this living.

Okay, on the one hand,

we can live a long, healthy life,

albeit as disgusting, pathetic, cowardly...

- Worms. - That's good. Good.

Cowardly worms.

On the other hand, we could gather our courage, if we had any,

and storm the fortress and be heroes.

Yeah, until they hack us up into fish bait.

You're right.

(THUNDER CRACKING)

(DASH GASPS)

Melody's in there.

She could be in big trouble. She may really need our help!

So what's it gonna be?

A lifetime as worms,

or two minutes as heroes?

(CRACKING CONTINUES)

All hail Queen Morgana!

I'm hailin'! I'm hailin'!

SCUTTLE: Hold on, sweetie!

The cavalry is comin'!

(GASPS)

Ariel!

Ah! Prince Eric.

Come to join the party?

We're having a blast!

Ahh!

(CREW YELLING)

(GRUNTING)

Oh, how dear Ursula would have adored this.

Morgana!

King Triton?

Oh, please! Is that the best you can do?

Release my daughter, surrender my granddaughter

and I shall spare you.

Ooh!

What you gonna do? Throw the crab at me? (CACKLING)

Hmph!

(LAUGHING)

Face it, Triton. You're all washed up!

Uh-oh!

Ha-ha!

I'm gonna be teachin' you some manners!

Oh, look at me. I'm bait!

(GASPS)

(SHRIEKS)

Oh, yeah!

Ha-ha!

Look out!

Where's Melody? What have you done with her?

Oh, you want to join your daughter? I think that can be arranged.

(YELLS)

(BARKS)

Eric!

(MUFFLED YELLING)

You are a very bad lady!

(SCUTTLE GRUNTING)

Very bad.

(BOTH YELLING)

(CHUCKLES)

Goin' somewhere, boys?

Uh, we're just lookin' for the little penguin's room.

(BOTH CHUCKLE NERVOUSLY)

Well, it's been nice knowin' ya.

(YELLS)

Now, that is one brave hunk of blubber.

I'll hold him! You go find Melody!

(DASH GROANING)

Hurry!

(GROANS)

(PANTING) What's... What's happening?

Oh, no! Oh... (GURGLING)

- I thought you were gonna hold him! - I am holding him!

Nice fishy.

Ooh. Big fishy.

Hold on, Melody! (GRUNTS)

I'm gonna bust us out of here

if it's the last thing I

do.

Tip! Help!

Another plan perfectly executed.

FLOUNDER: Melody!

TIP: Uh-oh.

(SHRIEKS)

Ha!

(GROANING)

Fools! I have the trident now.

And all the creatures of the sea are in my power!

(CACKLING)

I'm the queen of the sea,

and you will bow down before me!

- This can't be good for the lower back. - Pathetic fools!

Watch and see how utterly powerful I can be!

MELODY: Mom!

The end begins

for all of you with fins!

(CACKLING)

That's it, Triton.

Bow down!

Bow down before me!

No, Your Majesty. You mustn't.

I'm sorry, Sebastian. (GRUNTS) I have no choice.

Oh! Wishes do come true.

See that, Ma?

Who's your favourite now?

(LAUGHING)

It's over, Triton.

I sentence you

to oblivion!

You!

Just what do you think you're going to do with that?

Stay back!

(LAUGHS)

Wrong end, sweetheart.

(GASPS)

(GROANS)

(SHRIEKS)

MELODY: Grandfather?

I think this belongs to you.

No!

(SCREAMS)

Never again will you or yours threaten my family.

There will be no escape for you

- ever! - (GRUNTS)

(WHIMPERS) Mommy.

(MOANS)

- Dad? - Oh, Melody,

I was so afraid we'd lost you.

I'm sorry, Mother.

Oh, no, sweetie. We're sorry.

We should have told you the truth.

I didn't mean to hurt anyone.

I just hoped I'd be a better mermaid than a girl.

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.

Just like your mother.

Oh, Grandfather!

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.

I have a better idea.
