SEBASTIAN: He knows.
KING TRITON: Hey, let's see now. Oh, who could the lucky merman be? Come in, Sebastian.
SEBASTIAN: I mustn't overreact. I must remain calm. Yes, Your Majesty?
KING TRITON: Sebastian.
I'm concerned about Ariel.
Have you noticed she's been acting peculiar lately?
SEBASTIAN: Oh! Uh, peculiar?
KING TRITON:
You know, mooning about.
Daydreaming, singing to herself. You haven't noticed?
SEBASTIAN: Oh, well, I...
KING TRITON: Sebastian?
SEBASTIAN: Hmm?
KING TRITON: I know you've been keeping something from me.
SEBASTIAN: Keeping something?
KING TRITON: About Ariel?
SEBASTIAN: Ariel?
KING TRITON: In love, hmm?
SEBASTIAN: I tried to stop her, sir! She wouldn't listen!
I told her to stay away from humans!
They are bad! They are trouble!
KING TRITON: Humans?
What about humans?
SEBASTIAN: Humans? Who said anything about humans?
ARIEL: Flounder, why can't you just tell me what this is all about?
FLOUNDER: You'll see. It's a surprise.
ARIEL: Oh, Flounder. Flounder, you're the best! It looks just like him. It even has his eyes. Why,
Eric, run away with you?
Oh, this is all so sudden. Daddy?
KING TRITON:
I consider myself a reasonable merman.
I set certain rules, and I expect those rules to be obeyed.
ARIEL: But, Dad, I...
KING TRITON: Is it true you rescued a human from drowning?
ARIEL: I had to...
KING TRITON:
Contact between the human world and the mer world.
is strictly forbidden. Ariel, you know that! Everyone knows that.
ARIEL: He would have died.
KING TRITON: One less human to worry about.
ARIEL: You don't even know him.
KING TRITON: Know him? I don't have to know him! They're all the same. Spineless, savage, harpooning fish-eaters incapable of any feeling...
ARIEL: Daddy, I love him!
KING TRITON: No! Have you lost your senses completely?
He's a human, you're a mermaid.
ARIEL: I don't care.
KING TRITON: So help me, Ariel, I am going to get through to you. And if this is the only way, so be it!
ARIEL: Daddy! No! No! Please!
