01x09 - The Evil Manta

[bunniefuu]

8, 9, 10!

Oy, oh...

Over here.

But if you let me
go with you, I could uh,
I could help.

Now, urchin,
why would we need
help watching

A turtle race?

Yes! They go slow.
It's very hard
to miss anything.

Ha ha ha ha.

All right, lad,
you may come.

All right!

Told you I'd
find you,
I told you, ariel.

I told you.
Uh, uh...ariel?

Flounder,

I'm over here.

Peek-a-boo-boo.

Sorry, daddy,
we were just playing.

Yeah.

And we didn't know you
were playing, too,
your majesty.

It's all right, flounder.

What would atlantica
be without fun and games,

And art and music?

You are so right,
your majesty.

Atlantica is
more harmonious

Than a full
crustacean band.

We'll be gone 'til dark.

You two
try to stay
out of trouble.

We'll try-- we will,
your majesty.

Have fun, daddy!

So, what do you want
to do now?

I knew it.

I knew it'd be
something scary.

It's beautiful!

Must have
rolled down
from up there.

There's another one.

Hello?

Is somebody there?

Where did that
come from?

Here! Up here!

It came
from the volcano.

A talking volcano?

What is it?

Please get me out.

I've been trapped
in here for so long.

Maybe I can
pull you out.

No! Don't you know?
Haven't you heard?

The story
of the horrible
creature

That the ancient
mer-people locked
in a mountain?

Oh, you mean the story

That says
if the monster gets out,

All of atlantica
will be doomed?

I don't know.

I always plug my ears
before my mom finishes
telling it.

Oh, flounder,
that's just a silly story
grownups tell

To scare little fishes.

Well, it works.

This poor little
thing needs help.

I'm gonna
get him out.

Stand back.

Yes, that's it.

Help!

I knew it.

I knew it.

This is impossible.

Thank you.

You're very kind.

That creature was
so small, so innocent.

Not anymore.

Oh, my goodness,

He's heading
for atlantica.

We'll have to
go around!

38, 39,

40!

Good afternoon,
I'm new in this
part of the ocean,

And I couldn't
help but notice

That you have... It.

What do I have?

Charm, charisma,

And not one, but
eight beautiful legs.

Oh, they're
nothing special.

I do try
to keep 'em
in shape, though.

Oh, and it shows.

Hmm... You're right,
of course.

Oh, yes.

Oh, my, yes!

You're far better
than that swordfish.

All he has is
one hideous,
oversized snout.

Well, actually,
his snout isn't
so bad, I mean, it's--

Would you want it?

No, but I mean, i--

Go on, admit it.

You are better
than big nose.

Well, yes,
I guess I am.

Hello.

My, but your long,
graceful snout

Is nothing short
of stunning.

Why, you are
much too good

To float around
with that
eight-legged freak.

What a beautiful goldfish.

Why, you alone,
with your golden glow,

Are the jewel
of the deep.

I just love
making friends
turn into enemies.

Too bad
you don't have
a tail like me!

Then you could do this.

Oh, yeah?
Well, can your
tail do this?

Move it, round boy.

I was here first,
flat face!

You call that a shell?

This is a shell.

What's he doing
to them?

I'm not sure,
but whatever it is
we have to stop him.

Hey, pointy head,
get out of here!

Hurry, ariel,
it's getting worse.

There. Finished.

Relax, flounder.

Our plan will work.

Yeah, I know...
I just don't like being
this close to a net.

Shh! Here he comes!

Wait 'til
he's right below us.

Steady...

Now!

Hang on!

We got him!

You poor,
foolish children!

Nothing can stop me!

We'll stop you!

You're hurting
our friends.

I am more powerful
than friendship,

More powerful
than love!

More powerful
than anything!

Oh, no.
The legend was true.

He is destroying
atlantica.

Ohh... I just love spreading
the shadow of prejudice.

It blots
out friendships

Before they've
even begun.

We'll never stop
that evil manta
this way.

Wait.

He hates harmony...

And friendship and fun,
and well, just about
everything.

But deep down,

Atlanticans
really love
each other.

All they need is
someone to remind them.

If they love
each other,

I'm a barracuda.

Eels are better
than crabs!

Crabs only in this
neighborhood!

Crabs are better
than eels!

Octopi are better
than swordfish.

Swordfish
are better!

Goldfish are better
than everybody.

Let's ditch those
non-lobsters.

Nobody's
getting into our
neighborhood unless

He's got eight legs
and a big, fat head.

Slugs only!

Poor economy,
their fault!

Clam power!

Dirty water,
their fault!

Too much seaweed!

I hope this works.

We're running low on plans.

Jellyfish power!

Eel power!

May I have
your attention, please?

Poor economy,
their fault!

I heard that's not
their natural color.

And manta said
they even take candy
from guppies.

Trust them, and
they'll claw you
right in the back.

Would you believe
those noses
are fake.

Ah! No!

It's true.
The manta
told me so.

The minute they're
in their shells...

The reason I called
you all together is--

Hey, you're in the wrong
section, needle-nose.

This is
the octopus section.

It's just like you
eight-legged oddballs

To grab
the best location.

One of us is
about to relocate.

Good!

I'll point you
in the right direction.

No, don't!

No!

Ooh, that smarts!

Stop it!

Can't you see what
the evil manta
has done to you?

There's a mermaid
in our section!

Hey!

Flounder,
we have to--

Now where did he go?

And now, what do you
think of mermaids?

Mermaids? Yuck!

They make me sick.

Good little fish.

I love my work.

Now, only the little
mermaid remains.

Mermaids, blah!

Don't worry,
mr. Evil manta,

From now on, I'm only
hanging out

With cute little
yellow and blue
fishes like me.

Good little fish.

Oh no, flounder,
the evil manta
has made you hate me!

Uh, ariel--

Think! Think about all the fun
we had together. Remember?

But ariel!

All the adventures

And how daddy
always yelled at us.

But we always
stuck together.

Ariel, I'm o.k.

I was just faking out
that creep.

Ah! Oh, flounder...

Sometimes
you amaze me.

Aw, you know
wild sharks couldn't

Keep me away from you.

Aw, flounder.

Look at them!

A mermaid and
a fish together!

Did you ever
see anything
so strange.

Let's get out of here.

They don't
understand.

We've always
been friends.

You were my friend
before I even knew
what a friend was.

Yeah... You were so cute...

And so afraid
of everything.

Oh, I hope nothing happens
to us, out here.

Far from home,
on our own...

All alone!

Mommy!

Don't be afraid,
little fish.

That's why
I am afraid.

'Cause I'm a little fish.

And you're a big fish.

And I heard big fish
eat little fish.

But I'm not a fish.

I'm a mermaid.

You mean there's more
than just big fish
and little fish?

You are a little guppy.

Shouldn't you be
in school?

Well, I was,

But I think they
had recess and
forgot to tell me.

If you're not
still afraid of me,

I'll help you
find your way home.

Oh, would you?
Thank you,
thank you!

Um, what's your name?

I'm ariel.

What's your name?

I'm guppy number 35,

But my friends
call me flounder.

Then I'll call
you flounder.

Do you like
seaweed cookies?

Oh, yes!

Especially the ones
with the little
plankton drops on top.

It'll take more
than that evil manta

To ruin our friendship.

And he won't break up
all the other friends
in atlantica, either.

Come on!

Ahh, we're friends
to the end.

Unfortunately,
this could be it!

It's all their fault!

Stop it!

It's the manta
talking, not you!

Oh, yeah sure.
He's right here
talking for us.

Ariel's telling the truth.

Mermaids never
tell the truth.

You can't trust them.

They're half fish,
half something else.

Yes!
Hmph, hmph, hmph!

Listen, you're right.

Yeah-- they are?

We are all different.

I'm not different!

He's different!

I'm not different!

You are!
No, you are!

You!
You!

You're right, ariel.

We were happier
when we were friends.

You can still
be friends.

But the manta said--

Manta can say
anything he wants.

You don't have
to listen.

I didn't.
And I'm just a guppy.

Flounder's right.

He just
didn't listen.

Then we
shouldn't listen, either.

Gee, I'm really sorry
I called you needle-nose.

And I'm sorry I called
you ink for brains.

Once I charm the mermaid,

My victory
shall be complete.

What?

Music! Argh!

Have you forgotten
everything I taught you?

Listen to me!

No, you listen to us.

You were all wonderful.

That evil monster
is still out there, you know.

But from now on,
we'll be ready for him.

Right?

And we'll tell our children

And our children's
children to never forget.

Ah, good to be home.

Yes, your majesty.

There's
no place like it.

Atlantica is
the happiest place
under the sea.
