02x06 - Wish Upon a Starfish

[bunniefuu]

Well, what
do you think?

You look really,
uh, human. Yeah.

Aw, thanks, flounder.

Want to ride in
my twirl-a-ma-Bob?

Yeah.

Ariel!

You'd better be
studying for your test
in crab philosophy.

Ha ha ha ha!

Perhaps crab philosophy
is funnier than I thought.

[Ariel]
Wheeeeee!

I don't think so.

Ha ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha ha!

Gak!

[Cuckoo]

[Cuckoo]

[Cuckoo]

[Cuckoo]

Oh, flounder,

wouldn't it be wonderful
to live up there?

We could spend
all day exploring,

looking for thingamabobbers
and whatchamacallits.

You're wasting your time
with such foolishness.

Sebastian!

Here under the sea,

we are much better off
than those poor fools up there.

Why, even as we speak,

a big storm is
hitting the surface.

A storm?
I got to get up
there right away.

During a storm is
the best time to
find whatchamacallits

and thingamabobs
and all kinds of
wonderful human things.

Me and my big
crustacean mouth.

Ariel,
you come back here!

Oh, come on.

Ariel, let's
get out of here.

There's something
out there.

[Flounder]
Ariel!

Ariel!
Ariel!

It's just
out of reach.

Ariel!

Ariel!

Gotcha!

Aah!
Aah!

Ariel,
you all right?

Flounder, you shouldn't
be out of the water.

Me? What about you?

Where's Sebastian?

Yadda-yadda!

I'm sorry, Sebastian.

Oh, my achin' shell.

Get a description
of that wave and
call the police.

Look,
the whatchamacallit.

[Music plays]

Why, it's not
a whatchamacallit,

it's a...A...

Whirlamajigger.

Ariel, that's
a human girl

doing some kind
of human dance.

Yeah. Isn't
she beautiful?

Lying in bed with
a hot water bottle

on my bottom
would be beautiful.

Someday,
I'm gonna dance,

just like
this human girl.

Ariel, how could you possibly
learn to do that?

[Piano plays]

Uh-oh!

No, Ariel, I'm not
going to look in
the human house,

and that's final!

Aw, just one little peek,
Sebastian, for me?

No, no, no,
and a thousand
more times, no!

Oh, you win.

I'll just have to find
some other crab to help me.

Well, good, i--
some other crab?

The idea!

I'm the only crab
gonna help you, Ariel.

Gee, thanks, Sebastian.

Well, you're welcome,
my-- what?

Oh, no!

I can talk myself
into anything.

Someday I'm gonna

talk myself
into notdoing
something for that girl.

I promise meself.

Aw, flounder,
he's almost there.

The things I do
for that girl.

Uhh! Ooooh!

Whoa! Whew!

[Panting]

At least there's
no humans around.

We'll have to board it up
till the new glass comes.

Uhh!

Yikes!

Aah!

Gulp!

[Meow]

Uhh!

[Meow meow]

Uhh! Oh, no!

A giant pussycat.

[Mreow]

[Meow]

Aah!

Ohh!

Ooh! Uhh.

[Sebastian]
Where am I?

Ohh!

At least I'm a safe distance
from that monster cat.

[Sebastian]
Ooh! Ow! Uhh!

Aah! Uhh! Ow!
Ohh! Aah! Uhh!

Ohh! Aah! Ouch!

Ooh! Ow! Aah!

[Rrr-eow]

Uhh!

Uhh!

Ohh! Aah! Ouch!

Ow! Ohh! Uhh!

Ooh! Aah! Ow!

Yikes!

A human girl,

just like the one
on my whirlamajigger.

Oh, flounder,
I want to dance

just like her.

But her dance is
done with two tails,

tails that
spin and bend,

like mine
could never do.

Aw, Ariel,
don't be sad.

I hope you
are happy, Ariel.

I nearly got crushed
by that human.

Ariel,

what's wrong?

I--

I don't have two tails.

Oh, is that all?

Ha ha ha ha!

Two tails?

Ariel!

Maybe now you'll
stay home under the sea
where you belong.

There's nothing
up there for you

but things you
can never have.

Oh, Sebastian.

Hello.

Don't stop singing.

It looks beautiful.

Thank you.
Um, I'm Ariel.

My name
is Gabriella.

I'm deaf. I speak
sign language.

This is Ollie.
Uh, that's me.

I'm Gabriella's
interpreter...

And her friend.

I'm flounder.

And I'm the great
Sebastian.

Perhaps
you've heard of me?

[Ollie]
What's this?

Uh, it's a human thing,
from up there.

I want to
dance like her,

but I don't
have two tails.

You probably think
I'm foolish,
like Sebastian and flounder do.

Why, of course
she does, Ariel.

I think it's
a wonderful dream.

You do?

You do?
You do?

Oh, yes.

Dancing is freedom.

And Gabriella knows a way
you can get two tails,

if you don't mind
swimming through
a canyon of giant k*ller crabs.

Of course we don't mind.

I think that weincludes
you and me, mon.

There's a legend
that says--

if you wish
upon a starfish,

your dream
will come true.

What? All I've had to do
was wish on a starfish

and I could
have had anything I wanted?

Get over here!

I wish I could be
a bigfish, a bigfish

a reallybig fish.

No, no, not just any
starfish, flounder.

You must wish upon

the magical
giant starfish
of starfish grotto

at sunset, when
the ocean is all aglow.

But to get there,

you have to swim
through fearful forest

to the cave of terrors.

Then get past
k*ller crab canyon.

Oh! Is that all?

[Gulp]

We're on our way
there right now.

I'm so happy for you.

I have a wish, too,
Ariel.

I wanna sing
just like you.

I hope you
get your wish, Gabriella.

Come on. Let's go.

I have a wish.

I wish we weren't going
on this scary trip!

[Sebastian]
And once Ariel hid
a k*ller whale

in her room.

There was whale everywhere, mon.

That's nothing.

Once Gabriella
had to see the bottom
of a bottomless pit.

Oh, yeah?

Well,
once something went

biddle-liddle-la!
Biddle-liddle-la!

And Ariel had to know
if it looked as scary
as it sounded.

So this is sign language
for turtle,

and this is fish,

and this...

[Chuckles]

This is crab.

I like that one best.

There it is...

The fearful forest.

I'm not afraid.

Are you?

No.
It's exciting.

Don't tell me
we're going in there.

We're going in there.

I asked you
not to tell me that.

I mean, I asked
hernot to tell me that.

[Hissing]

Aah!
Aah!

It's okay.
It's just
a giant eel.

Everything's giant
around here.

Good.
Call me a giant doctor.

[Ollie]
It's the cave of terrors.

But I'm sure they just
call it that to scare
visitors away,

huh, Sebastian?

Uh, Sebastian?

[Sebastian shrieking]

Help!

It's got me!

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Sebastian.

If you're afraid,

you and flounder
can stay behind.

Fine. I will.

Not me.
I'm goin' with you.

[Teeth chattering]

[Hoots and spooky laughter
everywhere]

Arielll!

Turtle?

Snapping turtle!

[Hisses]

[Ariel]
Swim!

[Turtle snapping]

[Ollie]
Ooh! It's
k*ller crab canyon!

Soon we'll get our wishes.
I'll be able to dance,

and soon you'll
be able to sing, Gabriella.

And soon these mermaids
are gonna drive the three of us

off the deep end
of the ocean.

Ariel, this is more foolish
than a crab

wearing
polka dot underwear.

Flounder,
get out of there!

[Giggles]

[Crabs snoring]

Gabriella!

She can't hear you, Ariel.

[Snorts]

Gabriella!
Behind you!

[Growling]

Unh!

Unh!

Unh!

Unh!

Unh!

Let me go!

Get me outta here!

Let me go!

Grr!

Sebastian,
do something!

[Teeth chattering]

Grr!

Uh...

Don't I know you?

Huh?

Yeah, mon,
I think we're related.

Ha ha! Why, sure.

Ever been to Jamaica?

My parents are
clawd and clawdia crab.

I was born off
the coast of Jamaica.

Some island that is, mon.

Maybe you're related
to my uncle hermie.

He's a hermit crab--
very big for his age.

Come on, girl,
let's make waves.

This is it.

Time to make
our wishes.

[Sebastian]
I want some wishes, too, mon!

Ha ha ha!

-Me, too!
-Why not?

I'm going to be
a bigfish!

I want big muscles.

I'd like to be named
"crab of the year,"



Ha ha ha ha!

Welcome, dreamers.

I am the magical
wishing starfish.

You have braved many dangers
to find me.

You don't know
the half of it!
First we had to--

when you follow your dream,

you must overcome
many obstacles.

Yes!
Giant obstacles--

first, I will Grant
the wishes of the mermaids.

I wish with all my heart
that I could sing.

I wish for two tails,

so I can dance.

[Gasp]

No.

Nothing happened.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I wanna do magic,

but when
I get the chance,

I just don't...Shine.

Then everybody
gets mad at me.

Are you gonna
get mad at me?

You'd better believe it,
mon!

Come on!
Put up your points!

I don't wanna cry,

but I'm so sad.

I wanted to sing
to express my feelings.

Happiness...

Sadness...

Love.

You express yourself
beautifully, Gabriella.

With sign language.

Thank you, Ariel.

I do everything
with my hands.

Why,
I even dance!

Hey, we don't need magic.

We'll make
our own wishes
come true.
