• Ariel : We'll be right down. Just give us two minutes.

  Eric : Right, two minutes.

  [mumbles to himself after closing the door] 

  Eric : Now, where have I heard that line before?

• Ariel : We have to keep Melody away from her. Until Morgana is found Melody can't go in the sea.

  Flounder : But Ariel.

  Ariel : I'm sorry Flounder, but if Morgana is anything like Ursula, she will never give up. This is the only way. Melody can't know about merpeople or Atlantica or even about you, Daddy.

  King Triton : Very well, Ariel, you're right.

• Morgana : Sweetheart, hand me my trident now.

  Melody : [realizing the truth]  All this time, and you never told me?

  Morgana : Kept the most important secret in her whole life from her own daughter.

  Ariel : Please, give it to me, Melody.

  Morgana : No, hand it to me. It's for your own good.

  Ariel : She's lying!

  Morgana : I've given you what you've always wanted

  [to Ariel] 

  Morgana : *She's* the one who lied to you all these years.

  Ariel : I was trying to protect you.

  Melody : By fencing me in? You knew how much I loved the sea. Why did you keep the truth from me?

  Ariel : Melody, listen to me. If there was one thing in my life that I could do over, I...

  Melody : [she swims towards Morgana]  Too late, Mom.

  Ariel : Melody, no!

• Ariel : Where did you get this?

  [holding a locket given to Melody by King Triton] 

  Melody : I I found it.

  Ariel : You went over the wall, didn't you?

  Melody : Actually, I went under it. I hate that stupid wall!

  Ariel : Melody, you know you're not allowed in the sea.

  Melody : But why? And why does that necklace have my name on it?

  Ariel : Melody, listen to me.

  Melody : You're hiding something from me!

  Ariel : You deliberately disobeyed me! I never want you going out there again! Do you hear me? It's dangerous in the sea!

  Melody : How would you know? You've never even been in it!

• Melody : I'm sorry, Mother.

  Ariel : Oh no, sweetie, we're sorry. We should've told you the truth.

  Melody : I just wanted to be a better mermaid than a girl.

  Ariel : Oh, Melody, sweetie, it doesn't matter if you have fins or feet. We love you for who you are on the inside, our very brave little girl.

• Eric : Ariel, maybe you should go with him.

  Ariel : But, Eric...

  Eric : I need to stay here and lead the search on land. But you know these waters, and you know our daughter. You have to go.

  King Triton : It may be dangerous.

  Ariel : Eric's right, Daddy. I should have known I couldn't keep Melody from the sea. It's a part of her. And a part of me. I have to go.

  Eric : Bring her home.

• Eric : Ariel, darling, we knew this day would come.

  Ariel : Oh, Eric. You're right. It's time I trusted her with the truth.

• Ariel : Oh Daddy, I'm so worried.

  King Triton : Everything's going to be all right Ariel.

• Melody : Mom, put down the brush. It's hopeless.

  Ariel : Oh. You look beautiful.

  Melody : Do I have to do this? Everyone thinks I'm weird.

  Ariel : Oh, honey, everyone has trouble fitting in at your age. I know I did. I was a regular fish out of water.

  Melody : You? No way. I'm just so afraid I'm gonna make a total fool of myself.

  Ariel : Melody, this isn't just about the party... is it?

• Ariel : Is there something you want to talk about? You know you can always tell me anything.

  Melody : Well, okay. I mean, it's kind of crazy and sort of impossible. Now, don't freak, but what I dream about... more than anything in the whole world...

  Eric : How's it coming? Oh, Melody. Is that you? You look beautiful.

  Ariel : He's right. Now, we'll talk later. You're going to have a wonderful time tonight. Trust me.
