01x01 - Whale of a Tale

[bunniefuu]

k*ller whales!

k*ller whales
off the port bow!

-What is that sound?
-I don't know. It's scary.

No, it's not. It's sad.

Come on, flounder!

Ariel, wait!

(Panting)
now it's stopped.

Maybe it was just a,
you know, just a noise.

No, it was somebody
calling for help.

What if he was calling
for lunch?

Well, if you're scared,
you wait here,

And I'll go look over
behind that reef.

I'm not scared.
You look there, and I'll...

I'll look around here.

And I'll call you
if... If i, uh... If i...

If... If i... I...

I... Eye?!

-Eye! Ariel!
-Flounder!

Flounder?
Are you all right?

-Flounder, it's...
-(Stammering) a k*ller whale!

-It's only a little one.
-You call that little?

His teeth are bigger
than I am!

Come on. Come on.
It's all right.

-Nobody's gonna hurt you.
-Nobody's gonna hurt him?

-Come on.
-(Squealing)

-Oh, come on, spot.
-Spot?

Uh-huh. See? Right there.

There.

-You're safe.
-(Squeals)

Nobody's gonna hurt you.

I don't want
to be his big brother.

And I don't want to be
a midnight snack, either.

-It won't work, ariel!
-Yes, it will.

Funny how a good-looking crab
just naturally looks good

In anything he throws on.

(Whispering)
quick, quick, quick.

Ariel: hurry.

This is where you're
gonna live, spot.
Do you like it?

What's that girl
doing in there now?

Ariel, you know
he shouldn't be in here.

k*ller whales are horrible.

They're the worst things
in the sea.

Come here,
you horrible spot, you.

One day he'll turn on you
with all those terrible teeth,

-And he'll just... (Growls)
-(screeches)

-Ariel: spot!
-Ariel?

Spot, come back!

That's a fine hello
and how do you do!

-Flounder, you scared him.
-I scared him?

Nobody's ever
been scared of me.

Poor little spot.

I'm sorry, spot.
I didn't mean to frighten you.

I'm your big brother.

Sebastian: (knocking)
ariel? It's me.

We gotta hide him!

Sebastian!

Uh, flounder and I
were just saying--

Sebastian: flounder and you
and who else, huh?

Nobody else!

I just come to remind you about
the big spring celebration.

Sebastian,
that's not for three months.

Well, I know that.

But if I don't
start in on you now,

You're sure to forget about it
and not show up.

So I'm gonna keep reminding you
every time I spot you.

Hmm... Well, anyway,

This year's concert
is really gonna hit the spot.

Wrote me a new little number.

See, I start it off alone
with a solo spot.

A solo spot!

-Wait a second. (Screams)
-(screeches)

What you doing
with that whale?

-What whale?
-(Stammering)

-Ariel: oh, that whale.
-(Squeaks)

(Laughs) he just
sort of followed me home.

Followed you home?

That's a k*ller whale!

Oh... He won't
hurt you, sebastian.

-He's just a baby.
-I'm his big brother.

You can be, uh,
his uncle or something.

Oh, no! No, no, no, no!

A k*ller whale is not a pet!
He's not meant to be a pet!

You put that boy right back
where he belongs!

We can't, sebastian.
He'll die out there.

You won't--
you won't tell daddy

About my having a whale?

Both: please?

(Sighs) what whale?

Oh, thank you!
Thank you, uncle sebastian!

Don't you "uncle" me
no sebastians!

(Gasps) you stay away!
You get back there!

No! Stop that!

Thank you, uncle sebastian!

If triton finds out
about this,

I'm crab cakes.

There you are, spot.

Mama has to go
to an old spring celebration,

But she'll
be back very soon.

Good night, baby.

Some baby.

I don't believe how much
he's grown in three months.

You be good now.
I'll be back soon.

Hurry, flounder,
we're late.

Seahorse: and for the pleasure
of your highness, king triton,

We present to you
the spring celebration!

All right!

Sebastian:
no, don't be so you!

And that, my friends,
is what is meant

By bringing down the house.

What were you thinking of?

Hiding a whale in the palace?

A whale in the palace?
The idea!

-People could
have been k*lled!
-k*lled!

-The whole palace destroyed!
-Destroyed! The whole palace!

Spot didn't mean any harm.

He just loves music so much.

He was just being happy.

Oh... I don't blame him
for this destruction.

He's a wild animal.
He's not responsible.

But you are, ariel.

You and flounder and...

Sebastian?

I know you meant well,
but he has to go.

He doesn't belong here.

Spot doesn't know
how real whales live.

He just can't make it
in the ocean by himself.

-He thinks I'm his mother.
-Well, you're not!

And if he can't
survive on his own,

Then you'll just
have to teach him how.

You and flounder and...

Come out of there, sebastian.

And I suppose he thinks
you're his father.

-His uncle.
-Well, I'm putting

Uncle sebastian in charge.

Uncle sebastian is going
to teach this whale

-How to be what he is.
-Me?

Two weeks,
and then he's out.

And I'm holding you
personally responsible.

Oh, me.

Sebastian: my friends,
it's time to face facts.

-The boy is not getting it.
-Flounder: he's just gentle.

He doesn't know
how to be mean.

I like him the way he is.

So will the sharks, mon!

Out there,
it's every fish for himself!

Sebastian's right.

Spot has to learn
how to defend himself
or he'll die.

Okay, we try it again.

Where... Spot?

(Whistles) hoo, there! Spot!

This time,
flounder's gonna be the shark,

And you're gonna butt him
with the head,

Wing him with the tail, just
like you always do to me, see?

-You ready there, flounder?
-Ready, sebastian!

Now, remember, flounder
is just a pretend shark.

-You be gentle.
-Charge!

Here he comes,
the terror of the deep,

Flounder the tiger shark!

Spot? Spot, come back!

-Was I too scary?
-I don't know, flounder.

I don't know if he's
ever gonna understand.

Much more of this thing, mon,

And I'm going back
to the island,

Get work in a steel band.

Oh, poor spot,
you're all tired out.

We'll be home
in just a minute.

Oh, no, no.
One thing's for sure, anyway.

From now on,
spot's staying
outside at night.

-No!
-Your daddy put me in charge!

I'm telling you, it's
the best thing for everybody.

Sebastian, please!

How you gonna teach him
to live in the sea

-If he still thinks
he's a little baby?
-Tomorrow, I promise!

No! Whales sleep outdoors!

See, spot? Like that.
Now you try it.

He's never gonna get it,
is he, sebastian?

Hm... He loves you, ariel.

He's got that part just fine.

Ariel: but he shouldn't.
He needs to be wild.

He can't live in the sea
if he isn't wild.

You were right, sebastian.

I should never, never
have taken him home.

Swim, flounder!

Ariel: swim, spot!

The reef!
Make for the reef!

Flounder: ariel!

Flounder!

-(Screams)
-flounder!

Head for the shell!

-Where's spot?
-(Shattering)

Oh, he did it! He did it!
He saved us!

Ha-ha! That's my nephew!

Little spot, my baby brother.

-(Squeals happily)
-spot, you saved our lives.

My father will
have to let you stay.

What is it, spot?
Is that...

Is that your family?

He's going home.

It's right for him to go.

We, um...
We better go home, too.

Sebastian: I'm gonna miss
the little nipper.

Oh, spot, you came back!
You came back!

-(Chirping)
-to say good-bye?

Is that it, spot?

-(Whales singing)
-you're a real whale now.

But you're not
my whale anymore.

Go home, spot. Go home.

-(Grunting)
-flounder: good-bye, spot.

You were
a good baby brother.

Well, spot,
you take care, mon.

Been a pleasure knowing you...
Most of the time, anyway.

Don't forget to write.

No, spot! Don't do that!

Spot! Whoa!
