Prince Eric : Ariel?
Ariel : Yes?
Prince Eric : It was you all along; I don't know what came over me.
Ariel : She bewitched you.
Vanessa : Get away from her!
Ariel : Eric, I need to tell you everything.
Sebastian : Come on.
Prince Eric : None of that matters now.

Scuttle : [She finds Ariel on a rock. She is breathless and panicked almost] There you are! I-I thought it was you, but then I heard... but it wasn't you! It was her! In-in the mirror, she had your voice!
Sebastian : [He is confused] What are ya talkin' about?
Scuttle : [She gets irritated] Don't you get what I'm telling you?
Sebastian : [He's even more confused] No!
Scuttle : The Prince has been tricked! That lady that showed up is actually the Sea Witch in disguise!
Sebastian : [He, along with Ariel, is shocked] Are you sure about this?
Scuttle : [She's desperate and irritated] Of course I'm sure! Have I ever been wrong? You know, when it counts?

King Triton : [as Ariel has just come home late] It is irresponsible. Your sisters are only here for one phase of the Coral Moon. Can you imagine any one of them missing the gathering?
Ariel : No. You're right. I'm sorry.
Flounder : It wasn't Ariel's fault. We... We... We were exploring, and a shark chased us and...
King Triton : Shark?
[Flounder backs away, having accidentally ratted out Ariel]
King Triton : So, you went to the shipwrecks again? Those waters are dangerous.
Ariel : You don't have to worry about me.
King Triton : Well, I do worry, my little one. I do worry. This obsession with humans has to stop.
Ariel : I just want to know more about them.
King Triton : You know all you need to know.
Ariel : I barely know anything. You won't even let us go to the surface.
King Triton : Why do you have to be so strong-minded? Just like your mother.
Ariel : I am her daughter.
King Triton : Yes, foolish enough to be taken with the human world.
Ariel : If you would just try to understand...
King Triton : Well, I have tried. I have tried to understand you long enough. But as long as you live in my ocean, you'll obey my rules. Do you understand that?
[Ariel sadly swims away]
Sebastian : [about Ariel's antics] Children, you give them an inch, they swim all over you.
King Triton : Was I too hard on her?
Sebastian : [agreeing with everything Triton says] Definitely not. It's like I always say, "Children got to live by their parent's rules."
King Triton : You're absolutely right, Sebastian. My Ariel needs constant supervision.
Sebastian : Constant.
King Triton : Someone to watch over her.
Sebastian : All the time, day and night.
King Triton : And you're just the crab to do it.
Sebastian : I am just the crab to... No, wait, that's not... What? No, see, I serve you, Your Majesty, as your honored majordomo.
King Triton : There is no better way you can serve me than to make sure my little one stays out of trouble.
Sebastian : But I...
King Triton : Yes? Go. Go.
Sebastian : Yes, Your Majesty.
[reluctantly swims after Ariel]
Sebastian : How do I get myself into these situations? I'm an educated crustacean. I got options. I don't need this. I should be advising the King, not chasing after some headstrong teenager.
