- 小美人鱼-英文剧本
- ----------------------
- (An ocean. Birds are flying and porpoises are swimming happily.
- From the fog a ship appears crashing through the waves)
- Sailors: I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
- And it's hey to the starboard, heave ho
- Look out, lad, a mermaid be waitin' for you
- In mysterious fathoms below.
- Eric: Isn't this great? The salty sea air, the wind blowing in your face . . .
- a perfect day to be at sea!
- Grimsby: (Leaning over side.) Oh yes . . . delightful . . . .
- Sailor 1: A fine strong wind and a following sea. King Triton must be in a
- friendly-type mood.
- Eric: King Triton?
- Sailor 2: Why, ruler of the merpeople, lad. Thought every good sailor knew
- about him.
- Grimsby: Merpeople! Eric, pay no attention to this nautical nonsense.
- Sailor 2: But it ain't nonsense, it's the truth! I'm tellin' you, down in the
- depths o' the ocean they live. (He gestures wildly, Fish in his hand flops
- away and lands back in the ocean, relieved.)
- Sailors: Heave. ho. Heave, ho. In mysterious fathoms below. (Fish sighs and
- swims away.)
- (Titles. Various fish swimming. Merpeople converge on a great undersea
- palace, filling concert hall inside. Fanfare ensues.)
- Seahorse: Ahem . . . His royal highness, King Triton! (Triton enters
- dramatically to wild cheering.) And presenting the distinguished court
- composer, Horatio Thelonious Ignatius Crustaceous Sebastian! (Sebastian
- enters to mild applause.)
- Triton: I'm really looking forward to this performance, Sebastian.
- Sebastian: Oh, Your Majesty, this will be the finest concert I have ever con-
- ducted. Your daughters - they will be spectacular!
- Triton: Yes, and especially my little Ariel.
- Sebastian: Yes, yes, she has the most beautiful voice. . . . [sotto] If only
- she'd show up for rehearsals once in a while. . . . (He proceeds to podium
- and begins to direct orchestra.)
- Triton's daughters: Ah, we are the daughters of Triton.
- Great father who loves us and named us well:
- Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Atina, Adella, Allana.
- And then there is the youngest in her musical debut,
- Our seventh little sister, we're presenting her to you,
- To sing a song Sebastian wrote, her voice is like a bell,
- She's our sister, Ar-i . . .
- (Shell opens to reveal that Ariel is absent.)
- Triton: (Very angry.) Ariel!!
- (Cut to Ariel looking at sunken ship.)
- Flounder: (From distance.) Ariel, wait for me . . .
- Ariel: Flounder, hurry up!
- Flounder: (Catching up.) You know I can't swim that fast.
- Ariel: There it is. Isn't it fantastic?
- Flounder: Yeah . . . sure . . . it - it's great. Now let's get outta here.
- Ariel: You're not getting cold fins now, are you?
- Flounder: Who, me? No way. It's just, it, err . . . it looks - damp in there.
- Yeah. And I think I may be coming down with something. Yeah, I got this
- cough. (Flounder coughs unconvincingly)
- Ariel: All right. I'm going inside. You can just stay here and - watch for
- sharks. (She goes inside.)
- Flounder: O.K. Yeah - you go. I'll stay and - what? Sharks! Ariel!
- (He tries to fit through porthole.) Ariel . . . I can't . . . I mean-
- Ariel help!
- Ariel: (Laughs.) Oh, Flounder.
- Flounder: (Wispering.)Ariel, do you really think there might be sharks around
- here? (Shark passes outside.)
- Ariel: Flounder, don't be such a guppy.
- Flounder: I'm not a guppy. (Gets pulled through porthole.)This is great - I
- mean, I really love this. Excitement, adventure, danger lurking around
- every corn- YAAAAHHHHHHHH!! Ariel!! (He sees a skull, crashes into pillar
- causing cave in, and swims frantically away, knocking over Ariel.)
- Ariel: Oh, are you okay?
- Flounder: Yeah sure, no problem, I'm okay . . .
- Ariel: Shhh . . . (Seeing a fork.) Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Have you ever
- seen anything so wonderful in your entire life?
- Flounder: Wow, cool! But, err, what is it?
- Ariel: I don't know. But I bet Scuttle will.
- (Puts fork in bag. Skark swims by outside.)
- Flounder: What was that? Did you hear something?
- Ariel: (Distracted by pipe.) Hmm, I wonder what this one is?
- Flounder: Ariel . .
- Ariel: Flounder, will you relax. Nothing is going to happen.
- Flounder: (Seeing Shark looming behind him.) AAHHHH!! Run!! Run!! We're
- gonna die!! (Shark chases them all around. Ariel's bag is hung up. She
- goes back for it. Shark almost gets them. They head for porthole.) Oh No!!
- (They crash through and go round and round. Flounder gets knocked silly
- but Ariel saves him and traps Shark) You big bully. THBBBTTTT . . .
- (Shark snaps at him and he swims away.)
- Ariel: (Laughing.) Flounder, you really are a guppy.
- Flounder: I am not.
- (On surface. Scuttle on his island humming and looking through his
- telescope.)
- Ariel: Scuttle!
- Scuttle: (Looking through the telescope the wrong way, shouting.) Whoa!
- Mermaid off the port bow! Ariel, how you doin' kid? (Lowers telescope to
- reveal Ariel at wing's length.) Whoa, what a swim!
- Ariel: Scuttle - look what we found.
- Flounder: Yeah - we were in this sunken ship - it was really creepy.
- Scuttle: Human stuff, huh? Hey, lemme see. (Picks up fork.) Look at this.
- Wow - this is special - this is very, very unusual.
- Ariel: What? What is it?
- Scuttle: It's a dinglehopper! Humans use these little babies . . . to
- straighten their hair out. See - just a little twirl here an' a yank
- there and - voiolay! You got an aesthetically pleasing configuration
- of hair that humans go nuts over!
- Ariel: A dinglehopper!
- Flounder: What about that one?
- Scuttle: (Holding pipe) Ah - this I haven't seen in years. This is wonderful!
- A banded, bulbous - snarfblat.
- Ariel and Flounder: Oohhh.
- Scuttle: Now, the snarfblat dates back to prehistorical times, when humans used
- to sit around, and stare at each other all day. Got very boring. So, they
- invented the snarfblat to make fine music. Allow me.
- (Scuttle blows into the pipe; seaweed pops out the other end.)
- Ariel: Music? Oh, the concert! Oh my gosh, my father's gonna kill me!
- Flounder: The concert was today?
- Scuttle: (Still contemplating pipe.) Maybe you could make a little planter
- out of it or somethin'.
- Ariel: Uh, I'm sorry, I've gotta go. Thank you Scuttle. (Waves.)
- Scuttle: Anytime sweetie, anytime.
- (Cut to Flotsam and Jetsam, then Ursula in background watching magic
- projection of Ariel swimming.)
- Ursula: Yeeeeeees, hurry home, princess. We wouldn't want to miss old daddy's
- celebration, now, would we? Huh! Celebration indeed. Bah! In MY day, we
- had fantastical feasts when I lived in the palace. And now, look at me -
- wasted away to practically nothing - banished and exiled and practically
- starving, while he and his flimsy fish-folk celebrate. Well, I'll give 'em
- something to celebrate soon enough. Flotsam! Jetsam! I want you to keep an
- extra close watch on this pretty little daughter of his. She may be the key
- to Triton's undoing. . . .
- (Fade to the palace throne room where Ariel is being admonished.)
- Triton: I just don't know what we're going to do with you, young lady.
- Ariel: Daddy, I'm sorry, I just forgot, I -
- Triton: As a result of your careless behaviour -
- Sebastian: Careless and reckless behaviour!
- Triton: - the entire celebration was, er -
- Sebastian: Well, it was ruined! That's all. Completely destroyed! This
- concert was to be the pinnacle of my distinguished career. Now thanks to
- you I am the laughing stock of the entire kingdom!
- Flounder: But it wasn't her fault! Ah - well - first, ahh, this shark chased us
- - yeah - yeah! And we tried to - but we couldn't - and - grrrrrrrrr - and -
- and we - whoooaaaaaa - oh, and then we were safe. But then this seagull came,
- and it was this is this, and that is that, and -
- Triton: Seagull? What? Oh - you went up to the surface again, didn't you?
- DIDN'T YOU?
- Ariel: Nothing - happened. . . .
- Triton: Oh, Ariel, How many times must we go through this? You could've been
- seen by one of those barbarians - by - by one of those humans!
- Ariel: Daddy, they're not barbarians!
- Triton: They're dangerous. Do you think I want to see my youngest daughter
- snared by some fish-eater's hook?
- Ariel: I'm sixteen years old - I'm not a child anymore -
- Triton: Don't you take that tone of voice with me young lady. As long as you
- live under my ocean, you'll obey my rules!
- Ariel: But if you would just listen -
- Triton: Not another word - and I am never, NEVER to hear of you going to the
- surface again. Is that clear? (Ariel leaves, crying.)
- Sebastian: Hm! Teenagers. . . . They think they know everything. You give
- them an inch, they swim all over you.
- Triton: Do you, er, think I - I was too hard on her?
- Sebastian: Definitely not. Why, if Ariel was my daughter, I'd show her who was
- boss. None of this "flitting to the surface" and other such nonsense. No,
- sir - I'd keep her under tight control.
- Triton: You're absolutely right, Sebastian.
- Sebastian: Of course.
- Triton: Ariel needs constant supervision.
- Sebastian: Constant.
- Triton: Someone to watch over her - to keep her out of trouble.
- Sebastian: All the time -
- Triton: And YOU are just the crab to do it.
- (Cut to Sebastian walking down corridor.)
- Sebastian: How do I get myself into these situations? I should be writing
- symphonies - not tagging along after some headstrong teenager. (Sees Ariel
- and Flounder sneaking off and follows.) Hmm? What is that girl up to? (He
- barely makes it into cave and sees Ariel's collection.) Huh?
- Flounder: Ariel, are you okay?
- Ariel: If only I could make him understand. I just don't see things the way he
- does. I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things - could be
- bad.
- Look at this stuff
- Isn't it neat?
- Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
- Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
- The girl who has ev'rything?
- Look at this trove
- Treasures untold
- How many wonders can one cavern hold?
- Lookin' around here you'd think
- Sure, she's got everything
- I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
- I've got whozits and whatzits galore
- (You want thingamabobs?
- I got twenty)
- But who cares?
- No big deal
- I want more
- I wanna be where the people are
- I wanna see
- Wanna see 'em dancin'
- Walkin' around on those
- (Whad'ya call 'em?) oh - feet
- Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
- Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
- Strollin' along down a
- (What's that word again?) street
- Up where they walk
- Up where they run
- Up where they stay all day in the sun
- Wanderin' free
- Wish I could be
- Part of that world
- What would I give
- If I could live
- Outta these waters?
- What would I pay
- To spend a day
- Warm on the sand?
- Betcha on land
- They understand
- Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
- Bright young women
- Sick o' swimmin'
- Ready to stand
- And ready to know what the people know
- Ask 'em my questions
- And get some answers
- What's a fire and why does it
- (What's the word?) burn?
- When's it my turn?
- Wouldn't I love
- Love to explore that shore above?
- Out of the sea
- Wish I could be
- Part of that world
- (Sebastian has been struggling around and now comes crashing down making
- a lot of noise.)
- Ariel: Sebastian!?
- Sebastian: Ariel - what, are you mad? How could you - what is all this?
- Ariel: It, err, it's just my - collection. . . .
- Sebastian: Oh. I see. Your collection. Hmmm. IF YOUR FATHER KNEW ABOUT THIS
- PLACE HE'D -
- Flounder: You're not gonna tell him, are you?
- Ariel: Oh, please, Sebastian, he would never understand.
- Sebastian: Ariel. You're under a lot of pressure down here. Come with me,
- I'll take you home and get you something warm to drink. (A ship passes by
- overhead.)
- Ariel: What do you suppose?. . .
- Sebastian: Ariel? Ariel!
- (On surface. Fireworks in the sky around ship. Ariel looks on,
- amazed. Sebastian and Flounder arrive.)
- Sebastian: Ariel, what - what are you- jumpin' jellyfish! Ariel, Ariel!
- Please come back! (Ariel swims to ship and watches party until Max finds
- her.)
- Eric: (Whistles.) Max, here boy. Hey, come on, mutt, whatcha doing, huh
- Max? Good boy. (Ariel sees him and is stricken.)
- Scuttle: Hey there, sweetie! Quite a show, eh?
- Ariel: Scuttle, be quiet! They'll hear you.
- Scuttle: Oooh, I gotcha, I gotcha. We're being intrepidatious. WE'RE OUT TO
- DISCOVER! (Ariel grabs his beak.)
- Ariel: I've never seen a human this close before. Oh - he's very handsome,
- isn't he?
- Scuttle: (Looking at Max) I dunno, he looks kinda hairy and slobbery to me.
- Ariel: Not that one - the one playing the snarfblat.
- Grimsby: Silence! Silence! It is now my honour and privilege to present our
- esteemed Prince Eric with a very special, very expensive, very large birthday
- present.
- Eric: Ah, Grimsby - y'old beanpole, you shouldn't have.
- Grimsby: I know. Happy birthday, Eric! (Large, gaudy statue of Eric is
- revealed. Max growls.)
- Eric: Gee, Grim. It's, err, it's, err - it's really somethin'. . . .
- Grimsby: Yes, I commissioned it myself. Of course, I had hoped it would be a
- wedding present, but . . .
- Eric: Come on, Grim, don't start. Look, you're not still sore because I didn't
- fall for the princess of Glauerhaven, are you?
- Grimsby: Oh, Eric, it isn't me alone. The entire kingdom wants to see you
- happily settled down with the right girl.
- Eric: Well, she's out there somewhere. I just - I just haven't found her yet.
- Grimsby: Well, perhaps you haven't been looking hard enough.
- Eric: Believe me, Grim, when I find her I'll know - without a doubt. It'll
- just - bam! - hit me - like lightning. (Lightning and thunder appear and the
- sky grows dark.)
- Sailor: Hurricane a'commin'!! Stand fast! Secure the riggin'! (Storm hits.)
- Scuttle: Whoa! The wind's all of a sudden on the move here. (He is blown
- away.) Oh! Ariel . . . (Ship crashes through storm. Lightning starts a fire.
- A rock looms ahead.)
- Eric: Look out! . . . (Ship crashes and all are thrown overboard except Max.)
- Grim, hang on! (Sees Max.) Max! (Goes back to save him.) Jump Max! Come
- on boy, jump! You can do it Max. (He saves Max but is trapped on board.)
- Grimsby: ERIC! (Ship explodes. Ariel finds Eric near drowning and pulls him
- away.)
- (On beach. Ariel is sitting next to an unconscious Eric.)
- Ariel: Is he - dead?
- Scuttle: (Opens Eric's eyelid.) It's hard to say. (Puts his ear against Eric's
- foot.) Oh, I - I can't make out a heartbeat.
- Ariel: No, look! He's breathing. He's so, beautiful.
- What would I give
- To live where you are?
- What would I pay
- To stay here beside you?
- What would I do to see you
- Smiling at me?
- Where would we walk?
- Where would we run?
- If we could stay all day in the sun?
- Just you and me
- And I could be
- Part of your world
- (Sebastian and Flounder have washed up and are watching scene. Max and
- Grimsby approach. Ariel hurries away.)
- Grimsby: Eric! Oh, Eric. You really delight in these sadistic strains on my
- blood pressure, don't you?
- Eric: A girl - rescued me. . . . She was - singing . . . she had the most -
- beautiful voice.
- Grimsby: Ah, Eric, I think you've swallowed a bit too much seawater. Off we
- go. Come on, Max.
- Sebastian: We just gotta forget this whole thing ever happened. The sea king
- will never know. You won't tell him, I won't tell him. I will stay in one
- piece.
- Ariel:
- I don't know when
- I don't know how
- But I know something's starting right now
- Watch and you'll see
- Some day I'll be
- Part of your world
- (Flotsam and Jetsam appear. Fade to Ursula watching from her chamber.)
- Ursula: Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. I can't stand it - it's too easy. The
- child is in love with a human. And not just any human - a prince! Her
- daddy'll LOVE that. King Triton's headstrong, lovesick girl would make a
- charming addition to my little garden.
- (Fade to palace. Then sister's dressing room.)
- Andrina: Ariel, dear, time to come out. You've been in there all morning.
- (Ariel emerges, singing to herself.)
- Atina: What is with her lately?
- Ariel: Morning, Daddy. (Ariel swims off.)
- Atina: Oh, she's got it bad.
- Triton: What? What has she got?
- Andrina: Isn't it obvious, Daddy? Ariel's in love.
- Triton: Ariel? In love?
- (Cut to Sebastian pacing on rock outside.)
- Sebastian: O.K. So far, so good. I don't think the king knows. But it will not
- be easy keeping something like this a secret for long.
- Ariel: (Picking petals off a flower) He loves me . . . hmmm, he loves me
- not. . . . He loves me! I knew it!
- Sebastian: Ariel, stop talking crazy.
- Ariel: I gotta see him again - tonight! Scuttle knows where he lives.
- Sebastian: Ariel - please. Will you get your head out of the clouds and back
- in the water where it belongs?
- Ariel: I'll swim up to his castle. Then Flounder will splash around to get his
- attention, and then with -
- Sebastian: Down HERE is your home! Ariel - listen to me. The human world -
- it's a mess. Life under the sea is better than anything they got up there.
- The seaweed is always greener
- In somebody else's lake
- You dream about going up there
- But that is a big mistake
- Just look at the world around you
- Right here on the ocean floor
- Such wonderful things surround you
- What more is you lookin' for?
- Under the sea
- Under the sea
- Darling it's better
- Down where it's wetter
- Take it from me
- Up on the shore they work all day
- Out in the sun they slave away
- While we devotin'
- Full time to floatin'
- Under the sea
- Down here all the fish is happy
- As off through the waves they roll
- The fish on the land ain't happy
- They sad 'cause they in their bowl
- But fish in the bowl is lucky
- They in for a worser fate
- One day when the boss get hungry
- Guess who's gon' be on the plate
- Under the sea
- Under the sea
- Nobody beat us
- Fry us and eat us
- In fricassee
- We what the land folks loves to cook
- Under the sea we off the hook
- We got no troubles
- Life is the bubbles
- Under the sea
- Under the sea
- Since life is sweet here
- We got the beat here
- Naturally
- Even the sturgeon an' the ray
- They get the urge 'n' start to play
- We got the spirit
- You got to hear it
- Under the sea
- The newt play the flute
- The carp play the harp
- The plaice play the bass
- And they soundin' sharp
- The bass play the brass
- The chub play the tub
- The fluke is the duke of soul
- (Yeah)
- The ray he can play
- The lings on the strings
- The trout rockin' out
- The blackfish she sings
- The smelt and the sprat
- They know where it's at
- An' oh that blowfish blow
- Under the sea
- Under the sea
- When the sardine
- Begin the beguine
- It's music to me
- What do they got? A lot of sand
- We got a hot crustacean band
- Each little clam here
- know how to jam here
- Under the sea
- Each little slug here
- Cuttin' a rug here
- Under the sea
- Each little snail here
- Know how to wail here
- That's why it's hotter
- Under the water
- Ya we in luck here
- Down in the muck here
- Under the sea
- (They discover that Ariel has left with Flounder.)
- Ariel? Ariel? Oh . . . somebody's got to nail that girl's fins to the floor.
- Seahorse: Sebastian! Sebastian, I've been looking all over for you. I've got
- an urgent message from the sea king.
- Sebastian: The sea king?
- Seahorse: He wants to see you right away - something about Ariel.
- Sebastian: He knows!
- (In palace throne room. Triton looking at flower.)
- Triton: Let's see, now. . . . Oh, who could the lucky merman be? (Notices
- Sebastian.) Come in, Sebastian.
- Sebastian: (Sotto) I mustn't overreact. I must remain calm. (Five octaves
- higher than normal) Yes - (loco) yes, Your Majesty.
- Triton: Now, Sebastian, I'm concerned about Ariel. Have you noticed she's been
- acting peculiar lately?
- Sebastian: Peculiar?
- Triton: You know, moaning about, daydreaming, singing to herself. . . . You
- haven't noticed, hmm?
- Sebastian: Oh - well, I -
- Triton: Sebastian. . . .
- Sebastian: Hmmm?
- Triton: I know you've been keeping something from me. . . .
- Sebastian: Keeping . . . something?
- Triton: About Ariel?
- Sebastian: Ariel . . . ?
- Triton: In love?
- 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, they -
- Triton: Humans? WHAT ABOUT HUMANS?
- Sebastian: Humans? Ho ho ho ho. . . . Who said anything about humans?
- (Fade to Ariel and Flounder entering cave.)
- Ariel: Flounder, why can't you just tell me what this is all about?
- Flounder: You'll see. It's a suprise.
- Ariel: (Sees statue of Eric.) Oh, Flounder- Flounder you're the best! it looks
- just like him. It even has his eyes. "Why, Eric, run away with you? This
- is all so - so sudden. . . . (Turns around and sees Triton.) Daddy! . . .
- Triton: I consider myself a reasonable merman. I set certain rules, and I
- expect those rules to be obeyed.
- Ariel: But Daddy!-
- Triton: Is it true you rescued a human from drowing?
- Ariel: Daddy, I had to-
- Triton: Contact between the human world and the mer-world is strictly for-
- bidden. Ariel, you know that! Everyone knows that!
- Ariel: He would have died-
- Triton: One less human to worry about!
- Ariel: You don't even know him.
- 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!
- Triton: No . . . Have you lost your senses completely? He's a human, you're
- a mermaid!
- Ariel: I don't care.
- Triton: So help me Ariel, I am going to get through to you. And if this is the
- only way, so be it. (Begins to blast the artifacts with his trident.)
- Ariel: Daddy!. . . No . . . No, please- Daddy, stop!. . . Daddy, Nooo!!. . .
- (He blasts statue. Ariel begins crying and he leaves, ashamed.)
- Sebastian: Ariel, I . . .
- Ariel: (Still crying.) Just go away. (He leaves and Flotsan and Jetsam appear.)
- Flotsam: Poor child.
- Jetsam: Poor, sweet child.
- Flotsam: She has a very serious problem
- Jetsam: If only there were something we could do.
- Flotsam: But there is something.
- Ariel: Who - who are you?
- Jetsam: Don't be scared.
- Flotsam: We represent someone who can help you.
- Jetsam: Someone who could make all your dreams come true.
- Flotsam and Jetsam: Just imagine -
- Jetsam: You and your prince -
- Flotsam and Jetsam: Together, forever. . . .
- Ariel: I don't understand.
- Jetsam: Ursula has great powers
- Ariel: The sea witch? Why, that's - I couldn't possibly - no! Get out of
- here! Leave me alone!
- Flotsam: Suit yourself.
- Jetsam: It was only a suggestion.
- [Jetsam flicks the statue's broken face towards Ariel.]
- Ariel: [Looking at the face] Wait.
- Flotsam and Jetsam: Yeeeeeeeeeess?
- (Cut to outside of cave with Flounder and Sebastian.)
- Flounder: (snif) Poor Ariel.
- Sebastian: I didn't mean to tell, it was an accident. (Ariel passes by.)
- Ariel - where are you going? Ariel, what are you doing here with this
- riff-raff?
- riel: I'm going to see Ursula.
- Sebastian: Ariel, no! No, she's a demon, she's a monster!
- Ariel: Why don't you go tell my father? You're good at that.
- Sebastian: But . . . But, I . . . (To Flounder.) Come on. (They travel towards
- Ursula's cavern.)
- Flotsam and Jetsam: This way. (Ariel enters and is hung up in the garden of
- souls.)
- Ursula: Come in. Come in, my child. We mustn't lurk in doorways - it's rude.
- One MIGHT question your upbringing. . . . Now, then. You're here because
- you have a thing for this human. This, er, prince fellow. Not that I blame
- you - he is quite a catch, isn't he? Well, angel fish, the solution to your
- problem is simple. The only way to get what you want - is to become a human
- yourself.
- Ariel: Can you DO that?
- Ursula: My dear, sweet child. That's what I do - it's what I live for. To help
- unfortunate merfolk - like yourself. Poor souls with no one else to turn to.
- I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
- They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
- But you'll find that nowadays
- I've mended all my ways
- Repented, seen the light and made a switch
- True? Yes
- And I fortunately know a little magic
- It's a talent that I always have possessed
- And here lately, please don't laugh
- I use it on behalf
- Of the miserable, lonely and depressed
- (Pathetic)
- Poor unfortunate souls
- In pain
- In need
- This one longing to be thinner
- That one wants to get the girl
- And do I help them?
- Yes, indeed
- Those poor unfortunate souls
- So sad
- So true
- They come flocking to my cauldron
- Crying, "Spells, Ursula please!"
- And I help them?
- Yes, I do
- Now it's happened once or twice
- Someone couldn't pay the price
- And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
- Yes, I've had the odd complaint
- But on the whole I've been a saint
- To those poor unfortunate souls
- Now, here's the deal. I will make you a potion that will turn you into
- a human for three days. Got that? Three days. Now listen, this is import-
- ant. Before the sun sets on the third day, you've got to get dear ol'
- princey to fall in love with you. That is, he's got to kiss you. Not just
- any kiss - the kiss of true love. If he does kiss you before the sun sets on
- the third day, you'll remain human, permanently, but - if he doesn't, you
- turn back into a mermaid, and - you belong to me.
- Sebastian: No Ariel! (He is silenced by Flotsam and Jetsam.)
- Ursula: Have we got a deal?
- Ariel: If I become human, I'll never be with my father or sisters again.
- Ursula: That's right. . . . But - you'll have your man. Life's full of tough
- choices, innit? Oh - and there is one more thing. We haven't discussed the
- subject of payment. You can't get something for nothing, you know.
- Ariel: But I don't have any -
- Ursula: I'm not asking much. Just a token, really, a trifle. You'll never even
- miss it. What I want from you is . . . your voice.
- Ariel: My voice?
- Ursula: You've got it, sweetcakes. No more talking, singing, zip.
- Ariel: But without my voice, how can I -
- Ursula: You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't underestimate the
- importance of body language! Ha!
- The men up there don't like a lot of blabber
- They think a girl who gossips is a bore
- Yes, on land it's much preferred
- For ladies not to say a word
- And after all, dear, what is idle prattle for?
- Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
- True gentlemen avoid it when they can
- But they dote and swoon and fawn
- On a lady who's withdrawn
- It's she who holds her tongue who gets her man
- Come on, you poor unfortunate soul
- Go ahead!
- Make your choice!
- I'm a very busy woman
- And I haven't got all day
- It won't cost much
- Just your voice!
- You poor unfortunate soul
- It's sad
- But true
- If you want to cross a bridge, my sweet
- You've got to pay the toll
- Take a gulp and take a breath
- And go ahead and sign the scroll!
- Flotsam, Jetsam, now I've got her, boys
- The boss is on a roll
- This poor unfortunate soul.
- (Ariel signs contract.)
- Paluga, sarruga, come winds of the Caspian Sea.
- Now rings us glossitis and max laryngitis,
- La voce to me!
- Now . . . sing!
- Ariel: (Sings.)
- Ursula: Keep singing! (Giant magical hands rip out Ariel's voice and give it to
- Ursula. She laughs as Ariel is changed into a human and rushed to the surf-
- ace by Flounder and Sebastian.)
- (Fade to beach. Eric and Max are walking near castle.)
- Eric: (Playing flute.) That voice. I can't get it out of my head. I've looked
- everywhere, Max - where could she be? (On other side of rocks Ariel is
- washed up. Sebastian and Flounder are exausted. Ariel sees her legs and is
- amazed.)
- Scuttle: Well, look at what the catfish dragged in! Look at ya! Look at ya!
- There's something different. Don't tell me - I got it. It's your hairdo,
- right? You've been using the dinglehopper, right? No? No huh, well let me
- see. New . . . seashells? No new seashells. I gotta admit I can't put my
- foot on it right now, but if I just stand here long enough I know that I'll -
- Sebastian: SHE'S GOT LEGS, YOU IDIOT! She traded her voice to the sea witch
- and got legs. Jeez, man . . .
- Scuttle: I knew that.
- Flounder: Ariel's been turned into a human. She's gotta make the prince fall in
- love with her, and he's gotta ki- he's gotta kiss her. (Ariel tries to get
- up.)
- Sebastian: And she's only got three days. Just look at her. On legs. On human
- legs! My nerves are shot. This is a catastrophe! What would her father say?
- I'll tell you what her father'd say, he'd say he's gonna kill himself a crab,
- that's what her father'd say! I'm gonna march meself straight home right now
- and tell him just like I shoulda done de minute- (Ariel grabs him.) . . . and
- don't you shake your head at me, young lady. Maybe there's still time. If
- we could get that witch to give you back your voice, you could go home with
- all the normal fish, and just be . . . just be . . . just be miserable for
- the rest of your life. All right, all right. I'll try to help you find that
- prince. Boy. What a soft-shell I'm turning out to be.
- Scuttle: Now, Ariel, I'm tellin' ya, if you wanna be a human the first thing
- you gotta do is dress like one. Now lemme see.
- (Cut to Eric and Max. Max smells Ariel and gets excited.)
- Eric: Max? Huh . . . what, Max!
- Scuttle: (Whistles.) Ya look great kid. Ya look - sensational. (They hear Max.
- He arrives and chases Ariel up on a rock.)
- Eric: Max . . . Max - Quiet Max! What's gotten into you fella? (Sees Ariel.)
- Oh . . . Oh, I see. Are you O.K., miss? I'm sorry if this knucklehead
- scared you. He's harmless, really - . . . you . . . seem very familiar . . .
- to me. Have we met? We have met? I knew it! You're the one - the one I've
- been looking for! What's your name? (Ariel mouths "Ariel" but no words come
- out.) What's wrong? What is it? You can't speak? (Ariel shakes her head.)
- Oh. Then you couldn't be who I thought. (Ariel and Max look frustrated. She
- tries pantomime.) What is it? You're hurt? No, No . . . You need help.
- (She falls into him.) Whoa, whoa, careful - careful - easy. Gee, you must
- have really been through something. Don't worry, I'll help you. Come on . . .
- Come on, you'll be okay.
- (Fade to Ariel in bath playing with bubbles.)
- Carlotta: Washed up from a shipwreck. Oh, the poor thing. We'll have you
- feeling better in no time. [Picks up Ariel's "dress"] I'll just - I'll just
- get this washed for you.
- (Cut to Sebastian in dress getting washed.)
- Woman 1: Well you must have at least heard about this girl.
- Woman 2: Well, Gretchen says . . . (Sebastian is dunked.) . . . since when has
- Gretchen got anything right. I mean really, this girl shows up in rags and
- doesn't speak-
- Sebastian: Madame, please ! . . .
- Woman 2: . . . not my idea of a princess. If Eric's looking for a girl, I know
- a couple of highly available ones right here . . . (Sebastian dives into
- kitchen and sees various fish cooking. He faints.)
- (Cut to castle dining room.)
- Grimsby: Oh, Eric, be reasonable. Nice young ladies just don't - swim around
- rescuing people in the middle of the ocean and then - flutter off into
- oblivion, like some -
- Eric: I'm tellin' you, Grim, she was REAL! I'm gonna find that girl - and I'm
- gonna marry her.
- Carlotta: Ha Ha. Come on honey. Don't be shy. (Ariel enteres in a beautiful
- dress.)
- Grimsby: Oh, Eric, isn't she a vision?
- Eric: You look - wonderful.
- Grimsby: Come come come, you must be famished. Let me help you my dear. There
- we go - ah - quite comfy? Uh. It's - It's not ofen that we have such a lovely
- dinner guest, eh Eric? (Ariel starts combing hair with a fork. They look
- dumbfounded and she is embarrased. She sees pipe and brightens.) Uh, do you
- like it? It is rather - fine . . . (She blows its contents into his face.
- Eric laughs.)
- Carlotta: Oh, my!
- Eric: Ahem, so sorry Grim.
- Carlotta: Why, Eric, that's the first time I've seen you smile in weeks.
- Grimsby: (Wiping his face.) Oh, very amusing. Carlotta, my dear, what's for
- dinner?
- Carlotta: Oooh, you're gonna love it. Chef's been fixing his specialty,
- stuffed crab.
- (Cut to Sebastian watching Louis cook. He is humming to himself.)
- Louis:
- Les poissons
- Les poissons
- How I love les poissons
- Love to chop
- And to serve little fish
- First I cut off their heads
- Then I pull out the bones
- Ah mais oui
- Ca c'est toujours delish
- Les poissons
- Les poissons
- Hee hee hee
- Hah hah hah
- With the cleaver I hack them in two
- I pull out what's inside
- And I serve it up fried
- God, I love little fishes
- Don't you?
- Here's something for tempting the palate
- Prepared in the classic technique
- First you pound the fish flat with a mallet
- Then you slash through the skin
- Give the belly a slice
- Then you rub some salt in
- 'Cause that makes it taste nice
- Zut alors, I have missed one!
- Sacre bleu
- What is this?
- How on earth could I miss
- Such a sweet little succulent crab?
- Quel dommage
- What a loss
- Here we go in the sauce
- Now some flour, I think
- Just a dab
- Now I stuff you with bread
- It don't hurt 'cause you're dead
- And you're certainly lucky you are
- 'Cause it's gonna be hot
- In my big silver pot
- Toodle loo mon poisson
- Au revoir!
- (Sebastian hops back and Louis grabs him again.) What is this? (Sebastian
- pinches his nose and a battle ensues. Louis knocks over a large cabinet.)
- (Cut to dining room. Huge crash is heard.)
- Carlotta: I think I'd better go see what Louis is up to.
- (Back to kitchen. Louis is trashing the place.)
- Louis: Come out you little pipsqueak and fight like a man!
- Carlotta: Louis! What are you doing?
- Louis: Well - I - I was just - er, er, I'm sorry, madame.
- (Cut back to dining room.)
- Grimsby: You know, Eric, perhaps our young guest might enjoy seeing some of the
- sights of the kingdom. Something in the way of a tour?
- Eric: I'm sorry, Grim, what was that?
- Grimsby: You can't spend all your time moping about, you need to get out. Do
- something, have a life. (Grimsby lifts his plate's cover to reveal Sebastian
- cowering in the salad.) Get your mind off -
- Eric: Easy, Grim, Easy. (Ariel lifts her own plate cover and signals for
- Sebastian to hide there. Sebastian rushes across while no one is looking.)
- It's not a bad idea. If she's interested. Well - whaddaya say? Would you
- like to join me on a tour of my kingdom tomorrow?
- (Ariel nods vigorously, leaning heavily on her plate's cover.)
- Grimsby: Wonderful, now let's eat, before this crab wanders off my plate.
- (Fade to Ariel watching Eric and Max from balcony.)
- Eric: Come here boy! . . . Arrr . . . (He sees Ariel and waves. She is emb-
- arassed and goes back inside.)
- Sebastian: This has got to be, without a doubt, the single most humiliating day
- of my life. I hope you appreciate what I go through for you, young lady.
- Now - we got to make a plan to get that boy to kiss you. Tomorrow, when he
- takes you for that ride, you gotta look your best. You gotta bat your eyes -
- like this. You gotta pucker up your lips - like this. (He sees she is
- asleep.) Hm. You are hopeless child. You know dat? Completely hopeless . . .
- (Fade to undersea palace. Seahorse swims up to Triton.)
- Triton: Any sign of them?
- Seahorse: No, Your Majesty. We've searched everywhere. We've found no trace
- of your daughter - or Sebastian.
- Triton: Well, keep looking. Leave no shell unturned, no coral unexplored. Let
- no one in this kingdom sleep until she's safe at home.
- Seahorse: Yes sire. (He leaves.)
- Triton: Oh, what have I done? What have I done?
- (Morning at castle. Ariel and Eric leave for their tour. Ariel is amazed
- by everything.)
- Flounder: (As they pass water.) Has he kissed her yet?
- Sebastian: Not yet.
- Flounder: Ohh . . . (Ariel and Eric go dancing and see the town.)
- Scuttle: Yo, Flounder! Any kissing?
- Flounder: No, not yet.
- Scuttle: Hmm. Well they - they better get crackin'. (They leave town and Ariel
- drives, almost crashing. They end up rowing on a still lagoon in the even-
- ing.)
- Flounder: Move over - move your big feathers. I can't see a thing.
- Scuttle: Nothing is happening. . . . Only one day left, and that boy ain't
- puckered up once. O.K. All right, this calls for a little vocal romantic
- stimulation. Stand back. (He flies over and sings very badly.)
- Eric: Wow. Somebody should find that poor animal and put it out of its misery.
- Sebastian: Jeez, man, I'm surrounded by amateurs! You want something done,
- you've got to do it yourself. First, we got to create the mood.
- Percussion. . . . Strings. . . . Winds. . . . Words. . . .
- There you see her
- Sitting there across the way
- She don't got a lot to say
- But there's something about her
- And you don't know why
- But you're dying to try
- You wanna kiss the girl
- Eric: Did you hear something?
- Sebastian:
- Yes, you want her
- Look at her, you know you do
- Possible she wants you too
- There is one way to ask her
- It don't take a word
- Not a single word
- Go on and kiss the girl
- Sha la la la la la
- My oh my
- Look like the boy too shy
- Ain't gonna kiss the girl
- Sha la la la la la
- Ain't that sad?
- Ain't it a shame?
- Too bad, he gonna miss the girl
- Eric: You know, I feel really bad not knowing your name. Heh - maybe I could
- guess. Is it, err, Mildred? O.K., no. How 'bout - Diana? Rachel?
- Sebastian: Ariel. Her name is Ariel.
- Eric: Ariel? Ariel? Well, that's kinda pretty. O.K. - Ariel. . .
- Sebastian:
- Now's your moment
- Floating in a blue lagoon
- Boy you better do it soon
- No time will be better
- She don't say a word
- And she won't say a word
- Until you kiss the girl
- Sha la la la la la
- Don't be scared
- You got the mood prepared
- Go on and kiss the girl
- Sha la la la la la
- Don't stop now
- Don't try to hide it how
- You want to kiss the girl
- Sha la la la la la
- Float along
- And listen to the song
- The song say kiss the girl
- Sha la la la la
- The music play
- Do what the music say
- You got to kiss the girl
- You've got to kiss the girl
- You wanna kiss the girl
- You've gotta kiss the girl
- Go on and kiss the girl
- (The boat tips over.)
- Eric: Whoa, hang on - I've gotcha. (Flotsam and Jetsam congradulate each
- other.)
- (Cut to Ursula's cavern.)
- Ursula: Nice work, boys. That was a close one. Too close. The little tramp!
- Oh, she's better than I thought. At this rate, he'll be kissing her by
- sunset for sure. Well, it's time Ursula took matters into her own tentacles!
- Triton's daughter will be mine - and then I'll make him writhe. I'll see him
- wriggle like a worm on a hook! (Laughing, she transforms into a human with
- Ariel's voice.)
- (Fade to castle at night. Eric is playing the flute and contemplating as
- Grimsby approaches.)
- Grimsby: Eric, if I may say, far better than any dream girl, is one of flesh
- and blood, one warm and caring, and right before your eyes. (He sees Ariel,
- sighs, and tosses away flute. He is distracted by Ursula/Vanessa singing with
- Ariel's voice and is placed under her spell.)
- (Scuttle flying toward castle in morning.)
- Scuttle: Ariel! Ariel, wake up! Wake up! I just heard the news. Congratula-
- tions, kiddo, we did it!
- Sebastian: What is this idiot babbling about?
- Scuttle: Right - as if you two didn't know, uh? The whole town's buzzin' about
- the prince gettin' himself hitched this afternoon! You know, he's getting
- married! You silly sidewalker! I just wanted to wish you luck. I'll catch
- you later, I wouldn't miss it! (Ariel brightens and runs downstairs, only to
- see Eric and Vanessa together.)
- Grimsby: Well, uh - err, Eric. I-it appears that I was mistaken. This mystery
- maiden of yours does - in fact exist. And - and she is lovely. Congratula-
- tions, my dear.
- Eric: We wish to be married as soon as possible.
- Grimsby: Oh, yes - of course, Eric, but, er - but these things do take time,
- you know. . . .
- Eric: This afternoon, Grimsby. The wedding ship departs at sunset.
- Grimsby: Oh, oh - very well, Eric - as you wish. (Ariel runs off crying.)
- (Cut to late afternoon as wedding ship starts to leave. Ariel on pier
- crying bitterly as Sebastian and Flounder look on.)
- (Cut to Scuttle flying and humming to himself.)
- Vanessa: What a lovely little bride I'll make, my dear I'll look divine
- Things are working out according to my ultimate design
- Soon I'll have that little mermaid and the ocean will be mine!
- Scuttle: (Seeing real Ursula in mirror.) The sea witch! Oh no . . . She's-
- I gotta. . . (Runs into side of ship. Flies off to find Ariel.) Ariel!
- Ariel! Ariel. I was flying, I wa - of course I was flying - An' - I s- I
- saw that the watch - the witch was watchin' a mirror, and she was singin'
- with a stolen set o' pipes! Do you hear what I'm tellin' you? THE PRINCE
- IS MARRYING THE SEA WITCH IN DISGUISE!
- Sebastian: Are you sure about this?
- Scuttle: Have I ever been wrong? I mean when it's important!
- Flounder: What are we gonna do!? (Ariel hears Ursula's voice in her head as the
- sun drops.)
- Ursula: . . . Before the sun sets on the third day. . . . (Ariel jumps in water
- but can't swim well. Sebastian sends down some barrels.)
- Sebastian: Ariel, grab on to that. Flounder, get her to that boat as fast as
- your fins can carry you!
- Flounder: I'll try.
- Sebastian: I've gotta get to the sea king. He must know about this.
- Scuttle: What - What about me? What about ME?
- Sebastian: You - find a way to STALL THAT WEDDING!
- Scuttle: Stall the wedding. Wh- what am I - what - that's it! (He flies off to
- rally the animals and fish.) Move it, let's go, we got an emergency here!
- (Cut to wedding in progress. Max growls at Vanessa but she kicks him.)
- Priest: Dearly beloved . . . (Flounder is pulling Ariel toward ship.)
- Flounder: Don't worry Ariel. ugh - we - we're gonna make it. We're almost
- there.
- Priest: Yes, um, do you Eric, take Vanessa, to be your lawfully wedded wife,
- for as long as you both shall live?
- Eric: (Under spell.) I do.
- Priest: Eh, and do you . . . (Birds and animals swoop in for attack, causing
- great chaos.) . . . then by the power inves-
- Vanessa: Get away from me you slimy little- Oh, why you little- (In the
- struggle, the shell holding Ariel's voice it broken and it goes back to her.
- Eric comes out of the spell as she sings.)
- Eric: Ariel?
- Ariel: Eric.
- Eric: You - you can talk. You're the one.
- Vanessa: Eric, get away from her!
- Eric: It - it was you all the time.
- Ariel: Oh, Eric, I - I wanted to tell you.
- Vanessa: ERIC NO! (The sun sets and Ariel becomes a mermaid.)
- Ursula: You're too late! You're too late! So long, loverboy.
- Eric: Ariel! (Ursula and Ariel go overboard.)
- Ursula: Poor little princess - it's not you I'm after. I've a much bigger fish
- to -
- Triton: Ursula, stop!
- Ursula: Why, King Triton! Ha ha ha - How ARE you?
- Triton: Let her go.
- Ursula: Not a chance, Triton! She's mine now. We made a deal.
- Ariel: Daddy, I'm sorry! I - I - I didn't mean to. I didn't know -
- (Triton attacks the contract with a fierce blast from his trident, to no
- avail.)
- Ursula: You see? The contract's legal, binding and completely unbreakable -
- even for YOU. Of course, I always was a girl with an eye for a bargain.
- The daughter of the great sea king is a very precious commodity. But - I
- might be willing to make an exchange for someone even better. . . .
- (Cut to Eric rowing away from ship.)
- Grimsby: Eric! What are you doing?
- Eric: Grim, I lost her once. I'm not going to lose her again.
- (Back to Ursula and Triton.)
- Ursula: Now! Do we have a deal? (Triton signs contract.) Ha! It's done then.
- (Ariel is released and Triton is withered as Ursula laughs.)
- Ariel: No . . . Oh, No!
- Sebastian: Oh, your majesty . . .
- Ariel: Daddy? . . .
- Ursula: (Picks up crown.) At last, it's mine. Ho, Ho . . .
- Ariel: You - You monster!
- Ursula: Don't fool with me you little brat! Contract or no- AAAAHH! (She is hit
- with a harpoon thrown by Eric.) Why you little troll!
- Ariel: Eric! Eric look out!
- Ursula: After him! (Flotsam and Jetsam attack.)
- Sebastian: Come on! . . .
- Ursula: Say goodbye to your sweetheart. (Ariel makes her miss Eric and blast
- Flotsam and Jetsam.) Babies! My poor, little poopsies!
- (On surface as Ursula grows beneath.)
- Ariel: Eric, you've got to get away from here.
- Eric: No, I won't leave you.
- Ursula: (Now very large.) You pitiful, insignificant, fool!
- Eric: Look out!
- Ursula: Now I am the ruler of all the ocean! The waves obey my every whim!
- The sea and all its spoils bow to my power! (She wrecks havoc, creates a
- whirlpool and raises some shipwrecks.)
- Ariel: ERIC! (He gets on board one of the ships as Ariel falls to the bottom
- of the whirlpool. Ursula attempts to blast her.)
- Ursula: (Laughing wickedly.) So much for true love! (As Ursula is about to
- finish Ariel, Eric steers the ship into her. She is impaled and dies most
- horribly. Eric collapses on the shore. The trident falls back to Triton and
- everything reverts to normal.)
- (Fade to morning with Eric on beach and Ariel watching from a distance.
- Triton and Sebastian look on.)
- Triton: She really does love him, doesn't she, Sebastian?
- Sebastian: Well, it's like I always say, Your Majesty. Children got to be free
- to lead their own lives.
- Triton: You - always say that? (sighs) Then I guess there's just one problem
- left.
- Sebastian: And what's that, Your Majesty?
- Triton: How much I'm going to miss her. (He turns her into a human and she goes
- to meet Eric. They kiss which fades into kiss on wedding day. Everyone is
- happy. Sebastian is attacked by Louis. He beats Louis up and returns to the
- sea.)
- Sebastian: Yes, Thank you, thank you. (Ariel and Triton hug.)
- Ariel: I love you Daddy.
- (Big finale while "Part of Your World" music plays. Ship sails off as
- Ariel and Eric kiss.)
- All: Now we can walk,
- Now we can run,
- Now we can stay all day in the sun.
- Just you and me,
- And I can be,
- Part of your world.
- THE END
