01x03 - Stormy

[bunniefuu]

Ariel, stop it!

It's a beautiful day.

Who wants to go
for a swim?

Hah!
No, thank you, ariel.

You swim too fast.

Keeping up with you
ruins my hairdo.

Hmm... So that's what did it.

Ooh, ariel,
it's time for--

Ariel!

Welcome aboard.

I didn't come along
for the ride!

It's a giant sea horse.

Easy, boy, easy.

I won't hurt you,
poor thing.

You need to be free.

It's terrible
to keep a wild creature
tied up like this.

Keep your distance,
princess.

Stormy is
too wild to tame,

And too ornery to love.

Someday...

I'm gonna ride
that wild sea horse.

Oh, it's gonna be
wonderful, flounder.

All we have to do is convince
daddy to let me ride him.

[Gulps] we?

Don't expect me to help.

I keep my business
to me own nose.

But daddy
always listens to you.

Well, that's true.

I do have a way
of be--

Ariel, stop
sea horsing around.

You know what
your father is gonna say.

[King triton]
about what?

Father, may...

Flounder and sebastian
stay for dinner?

Certainly.

I always enjoy
hearing sebastian's
opinion on...

Things.

Please pass
the seaweed pasta.

Hmm. Thank you.

[Clears throat]
I think every girl
should learn

To ride
a giant sea horse,

Don't you, sebastian?

Of course, ariel.

I mean,
as long as she
never goes near it.

Ariel, you're welcome
to come riding with me.

We have a nice, tame,
old mare that would
suit you just fine.

An old mare?

Oh, you're
so funny, daddy.

Actually,
I was hoping to ride...

Stormy.

Stormy?

[King triton]
why, that wild sea horse

Would throw you
in an instant.

Isn't that right,
sebastian?

Half an instant.

No, he wouldn't, father.
He likes me.

Right, sebastian?

He really likes her a lot.

I see.
He likes you...

Like the giant squid
you brought home
to dinner

And the baby k*ller whale
you hid in your room.

Oh, when
will you learn?

Some creatures
are dangerous,

And this stormy is one
of the most dangerous.

Oh, I don't know.

He let me swim
right up and pet him.

You petted him?

Ariel, I forbid you to go near
that giant sea horse!

Well, that is
most certainly that.

That is never that
with her.

May we be excused,
too, father?

We have to...
Wash our hair.

She's
in hot water now.

Silly girl.

Come on, ariel.
There's still lots of
fun things we can do

Without
a giant sea horse.

Daddy does
whatever he wants,

But won't let me
do what I want.

Why is he so... Mean?

Oh, I know
what she's thinking.

She thinks I'm mean.

Your majesty, mean?

Ridiculous!

Why am I always the one who has
to make her understand.

This job's
weighing heavy on me.

Ariel...

Sebastian,
I'm glad you're here.

No. I'm glad you're here.

I came to talk some
horse sense into you.

Now, you must stay away
from that wild--

Tonight I'm
gonna see stormy,

And you're gonna be
my lookout.

Wait a minute.

[King triton]
sebastian!

See you tonight
at the sea horse corral.

I'm counting on you,
sebastian.

-[King triton]
ah, sebastian.
-Your majesty.

I've been looking for you.

I want you to guard
that sea horse stallion.

-Yes.
-All night if necessary.

Make sure
no one goes near it...

-No one.
-...especially no one
with beautiful red hair

Who has a tendency
to disobey her father.

Yes, your majesty.

I'm counting on you,
sebastian.

Everybody's
counting on me.

I'm up the river
without a paddle

In the middle
of the ocean.

After this, I'm never
opening my mouth again,

Except when I'm eating.

He has me
looking out for her,

She has me
looking out for him.

But who's gonna be
looking out for me?

Hey, we're
sleepin' here!

Quiet.
Someone will hear you.

Shh. It's okay. It's okay.

There's nothing
to be afraid of.

She'd say that if the ocean
was full of sharks.

Don't worry, stormy.

Someday you and I will ride wild
through the sea together.

Shh. Ariel, we'd better go.

We don't want anyone

I mean, ariel!

What are you
doing here?

Go home immediately!

Your father will be...

Well, see for yourself.

You disobeyed me, ariel.

That sea horse
is dangerous.

Don't you listen
to a word I say?

Yes, daddy,
but you're wrong
about stormy.

I can ride him.
I know I can.

You leave me
no choice, ariel.

For your own good,
I'm selling stormy
to a sea horse trader.

You can't do that.

I'm your father.

I'll do what I think is best.

You don't care
what's best for me.

You want to tie me down,
just like stormy.

Where are you going?

Forgot to brush my teeth.

Shh.

Let's go!

Sebastian.

Your majesty,
I tried to stop her,

But she
wouldn't listen.

Ariel!

Oh, I knew
this would happen.

Don't worry.
We'll get her back,

Even if we have to search
every corner of the seven seas.

You'll have to ride
with the crab.

Ride? Me?

[Sebastian]
oh, no!

No, no, no! I don't ride
no giant sea horses.

I know stormy.
He'll take her right
into the wilderness.

Away!

Come on, sebastian.

We gotta save ariel.

Away!

Wait! I'm coming!

Watch it!

Ow! Ooh! Ouch!

This night has too many
ups and downs already.

[Panting]
the wilderness.

We better turn back,
stormy.

Stop.

Stop, stormy!

No!

Hey, you think we'll
see any wild giant
sea horses tomorrow?

I don't know, kid.

Used to be
you couldn't take a walk
in the wilderness

Without a giant wild sea horse
stepping on two or three
of your feet.

But these days, we'll be lucky
to catch a glimpse of one.

Stormy, no!

Slow down!

You're going too fast!

That was some ride.

We better rest a while
before we go back.

I've never spent
such a night

Since I was washed ashore
in trinidad during
the typhoon of '43.

Quiet! Ariel might be hurt
and calling for help.

Sorry, your majesty.
I was momentarily
delirious.

Ariel!

Ariel!

Where are you?

[Flounder]
ariel!

[Sebastian]
ariel!

Where are you, girl?

[King triton]
ariel!

Well, kid, there's
your first wild sea horse.

Let's get him.

Hold on there.
Whoa!

We got him!
We got him!

Yeah!

Nice goin', kid.

What a chase!

We got ourselves
a real prize.

Let's make camp,
eat some sea beans,
and gloat.

Stormy!

Stormy!

[Echo]
stormy!

[Echo] stormy!

Stormy.

Shh. Shh.

All right!
Let's head him off
at the pass!

I'm gonna start
rustlin' sea slugs.

At least
they leave a trail.

Yeah, and sea slugs
are a lot slower, too.

[King triton]
ariel!

Where are you?

Ariel.

Away!

She's going
to be all right.

You can talk to her a while.

Oh, your majesty,
don't yell at her now.

Wait till
she feels better.

I am not going
to yell at her.

Ariel,
can you hear me, dear?

Father?

Flounder
and sebastian, too.

Where's stormy?

That--

Ahem.

That magnificent sea horse
is just too wild for you.

You're right, father.

Now, I'll hear
none of it--

I'm right?

Did you hear that?

I'm right!

Good for you,
your majesty!

I know sometimes
you think I'm...

Mean.

I don't like
to say no to you, ariel,

But sometimes
I have to because...

Because...

Because you love me?

Oh, fathers are
sometimes right,

Eh, flounder?

I hope they
never argue again.

[Ariel]
but you can't sell stormy
to that sea trader, father!

Of course not.

Soon as you're able,
we'll release stormy

So he can roam free.

I'd like that,

And so would he.

Goodbye, stormy.
I'll never forget you.

I'm proud of you,
ariel.

Now, I know
he's not stormy,

But sea biscuit here is more
the kind of a sea horse
a young lady should ride.

Oh, I quite agree,
father.

Race you home!

Away!
