• Melody : It is expressly forbidden for you to be swimming beyond the safety of the sea wall.

  Sebastian : Beyond the sea wall.

  Melody : Any such swimming is a reckless disregard of the rules. Don't you know?

  Sebastian : Stop that!

  Melody : [giggles]  Oh Sebastian, I can't help it. I just love the sea.

• Morgana : [has Ariel trapped in her tentacle]  Your mommy was only trying to protect you from moi. What she did, she did out of.

  [squeezes Ariel's cheeks] 

  Morgana : Love!

  [lets go of Ariel's cheeks] 

  Morgana : Little Melody's been a very naughty girl, stealing from her own grandfather.

  Melody : My grandfather?

  Morgana : King Triton! Ruler of Atlantica. Commander of the sea.

  [wraps her tentacle around Ariel's mouth] 

  Morgana : At least he was until some thief came along.

  Melody : You tricked me!

  Morgana : You've got no one to blame but yourself.

• Tip : [observing the giant wall around Melody's home]  I knew good fences made good houses but isn't that a bit much? I mean, what are you trying to keep out?

  Melody : It wasn't built to keep something out.

  Melody : [angrily]  It was built to keep me in!

• Melody : Hey, Scuttle! Hey, Sebastian! What's kicking?

  Scuttle : Uh, what's kicking? Hmm. let me see.

  [he knocks on his head] 

  Scuttle : Don't rush me!

  Sebastian : Ha! You know perfectly well what's kicking!

• Melody : What a totally cool feeling!

• 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.

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

• Melody : What's? What's happening?

• 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?

• Melody : [wakes up in Eric's arms]  Dad?

  Eric : Oh, Melody, I was so afraid we'd lost you.

• 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.
