[Ariel is happy to find Prince Eric's statue in her grotto of human treasures]
Ariel:
[pretending the statue is the real Prince Eric]
Why, Eric, run away with you?
[lustfully]
Ariel:
This is all so... so sudden.
[giggles; gasps as she notices her father lurking in the shadows; fearfully]
Ariel:
Daddy
[Sebastian looks up from behind a rock; Flounder swims behind a rock and looks fearfully at Triton]
Triton:
I consider myself a reasonable merman.
[swims out of the shadows and glares down at his daughter]
Triton:
I set certain rules, and I expect *those rules* to be obeyed!
Ariel:
But, Daddy...
Triton:
Is it true? You rescued a human from drowning?
Ariel:
Daddy, I had to!
Triton:
Contact between the human world and the mer world is strictly forbidden! Ariel, you *know* that! *Everyone* knows that!
Ariel:
He would've 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!
[gasps; Sebastian grits his teeth]
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!
[the trident glows]
Triton:
And if *this* is the only way, so be it!
