The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning Page #2
What I need is one mistake
- Ow!
- Oh, so sorry!
# Just one mistake
Now, color? Sardine Silver?
- No, thanks.
- Orange roughy?
- Not in the mood.
- Rainbow trout?
Just paint them the shade
of clarified butter!
# Sebastian
Oh, better be on his guard
So much for my samples.
# 'Cause I have some electric chums
# And they'll be looking very hard
# A straw to break Sebastian's back
A teeny dent, a tiny crack
What I need is one mistake
Uno error.
# Just one mistake
# Then...
- # Hello, world
- [Benjamin] Oh, my.
- # It's Marina Del Rey
- That's right. Three names.
- # I'm the new attach
- Ooh, French!
# Or maybe more
- # Oh, I want so much more
- Big surprise.
# Hello, world
I'm the belle of the ball
I'm feelin' it. Big wave!
# I'm the greatest of all
the loyal royal big shots
[shouting gleefully, grunts]
- [moans]
- Mmm...
# Work it, Marina
- # Pouty, sassy
- Pouty. Sassy.
# From the engine to the chassis
- Oo-wah oo-wah
- # Got to, got to
- Oo-wah oo-wah
- # Get it, get it
# Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta
gotta, gotta have it
# A straw to break the camel's back
A teeny dent, a tiny crack
# A mini mighty break
What I need is one mistake
- Mmm...
- # And after that, who knows? #
Sebastian's bound
to make a mistake, right?
Not likely.
Dream killer!
[straining]
One. [exhales deeply]
[sighs]
Live from The Catfish Club, it's...
- [water bubbling melodically]
- Flounder!
[imitating cheering audience]
We love you, Flounder.
[imitating electric guitar]
[Ariel] Oh, boy. [grunts]
- [grunting]
- Whoo! Oh, yeah!
I'm hot. I know it.
- Hey!
- Aah!
Was that... what I think it was?
- Nope. Whoops.
- [water bubbling melodically]
- That!
- What?
- That sound!
- Oh, that sound.
I was just... [laughs]
...cleaning out these...
But then you... Hey!
And then I... [wheezes]
And then the thingamajiggers just
boppity boop, bop, bap!
Can you do it again?
Halt! You're in violation
of the Triton Acts!
- All music is forbidden in the kingdom!
- Not good.
- Swim!
- Hey, get back here!
Faster!
Corkscrew!
Ooh!
Torpedo tube!
Whoo-hoo!
[giggling]
Not again! [straining]
[swordfish] There they are!
[whimpering] Fish launch!
- Thanks.
- No problem.
- [grumbling]
- This way!
- My name is Flounder.
- Oh, I'm Ariel.
Oh, no!
[Flounder screams]
[shrieks]
Princess Ariel!
What is the meaning of this?!
- Princess?
- Um...
- We weren't doing anything.
- [Sebastian] No?
Then why were you trying to get away?
[both stammering]
Um... 'Cause they were chasing us?
- We heard music, chief.
- [shrieks]
Music!
The princess was making music?
The princess wasn't making music.
He was.
[whimpers]
Music is against the law!
Take him to the dungeon!
- I can't make it in the slammer!
- Now!
Wait! This is all
a big misunderstanding. Huge.
You are gonna laugh when I explain.
- In this century, please.
Right. You see, I was just
cleaning the coral tubes,
and my friend here [chuckles]
was helping me.
That's right. Best friend helpin' out.
- Makin' it happen.
- But not making music.
See?
Guards! Escort the princess
back to the palace.
- But Sebastian...
- And you!
[whimpers]
Consider this your first
and only warning, mon.
- Humph!
- [growling]
Oh!
Intolerable, I tell you.
That girl is working on my last claw!
[Adella] If I change my hair,
he'd notice?
[Aquata] Where's my brush?
OK, bedtime. Outta my way. Don't look
now, but dinner exploded on your face.
- It's plankton extract and sea salt.
- Pretty.
It rejuvenates the skin
and it won't clog your pores.
- Whatever!
- It's your face.
'Scuse me. [sighs]
- Uh, is that my mask?
- Nope.
It's got my initial on it.
All of our names
start with "A," Aquata.
- My brush?
- I was gonna talk to you...
- My lucky seashells?
- They're not very lucky.
- [gasps] Mr. Fuzzyfinkle!
- He's so cute. He likes me.
- And my pillow?
- Yeah, that's for Mr. Fuzzyfinkle.
- Nice try.
- Give it back!
Arista, you always do this!
It's my stuff!
- Finally, some entertainment.
- You're just the selfishest person...
Shh! Shh! He's coming!
- Good evening, girls.
- [all] Father.
- Sleep well.
- Good night, Father.
Ariel?
Good night.
[sighing deeply] Good night.
Why did you do that?
He's our father.
Sit there as long as you want, Ariel.
Nothing's going to change.
Maybe I could have her pillow.
Oh! Ha, ha, very funny.
[sighs deeply]
[whispering] What?
[swordfish] How long
has she been in charge?
Right.
[blowing bubbles melodically]
[gasps]
[grunts]
[branch snapping]
[fins clapping rhythmically]
Flippity-flop and slide to the side.
- [male] The joint is jumping.
- It's time to glide.
[indistinct chattering]
Hey! But I got the kelp yesterday.
It's not fair.
I'm weak. Pathetic.
- I'm a lowly errand boy.
- [gasps]
[grunts]
[# Jump in the Line]
[male] Oh, it's about that time.
- [male] Oh, yeah.
- [male 2] Hey, hey!
All right, let's bring it.
You know what to do.
- Ah!
- Ooh!
# Shake, shake, shake, Senora
Shake your body line
# Shake, shake, shake, Senora
Shake it all the time
# Work, work, work, Senora
Work your body line
# Work, work, work, Senora
Work it all the time
Sea kelp. Salty or extra salty.
Get your sea k...
[Ariel] Flounder!
- Ariel?
- [chuckling]
Oh, no.
Oh, Flounder.
[all cheering]
- Sebastian!
- Whoo!
# My girl's name is Senora
I tell you, friends, I adore her
Sebastian?
# When she dances, oh, brother
# She's a hurricane
in all kinds of weather
# Jump in the line
Rock your body in time
# OK, I believe you
- # Jump in the line
- Sebastian.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
# Shake, shake, shake, Senora
[shells rattling]
# Shake your body line
# Work, work, work, Senora
- [giggling]
- # Work it all the time
# Jump in the line
Rock your body in time
Ariel! No, don't!
# Jump in the line
Rock your body in time
Rock your body, child!
# Jump in the line
Rock your body in...
- Aah!
- Love your club.
- [groans]
- Huh?
[whimpers]
[all screaming]
Oh, wait! I won't tell.
Wait a minute. I won't tell!
[grumbling] Oh!
- [string plays]
- [gasps]
[chuckling]
- [note plays]
- [laughs]
# La, la, la, la, la
# La, la, la, la, la
[sighs] # La, la, la, la
# Endless sky
# Wait, I remember that
# How I know that song
# I remember sitting in the moonlight
and that feeling
# What's that feeling?
# I remember, yes
# How I know that song
Though it's been so long
# I remember happiness
without a floor or ceiling
# What's that feeling?
# I remember
# La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
- # La, la, la, la, la, la, la
- # Laa...
[all] # La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
# Laa... La, la
# Oh! I remember her
# And how we were
# I remember wanting
what the evening would be bringing
# I remember singing
