01x06 - Message in a Bottle

[bunniefuu]

Hey!

What a marvelous thing.

Ariel, get rid of that.

It's a human thing, and that
means a dangerous thing.

Oh, look.
There's a message inside.

A human message,
no doubt.

Or it might be a map
to a great treasure.

Or a song written
by a distant
crustacean musician.

Or even a love letter
from a beautiful crayfish

To you, sebastian.

Well, what are you
waiting for?

Uh, I mean, you can
open it if you want to.

Maybe if you hold on
to this spongy thing
while I pull.

Sebastian! Let go!

See, I told you
that thing was dangerous.

Wait! I'll get it.

Knowing you, you'll get
that thing stuck on your arm.

Be swimming around with it
the rest of your life.

And-- and who gets stuck
doing the dirty work?

Sebastian the crab...

That's who.

Mon, this is
some heavy reading.

"Help! I'm a prisoner
in a sea monster's cave.

Please rescue me."

Ariel! I know what
you're thinking,
and-- ooh!

Hold this, flounder.

Ariel! Get me
outta here!

Grab on, sebastian.

Human things gonna be
the end of me.

Look, sebastian,

The message
is signed-- "simon.

P.s. See map
on other side."

This is
dangerous territory.

Ariel, if you're thinking
what I think you're thinking,

Stop thinking.

Ariel!

At last!

I thought they were going
to stick around all day.

Why didn't we just grab 'em?

Because we want to
surprise the whole city.

The merpeople
will have no idea
their enemies

Are disguised as...
Anemones.

Get it?

You're gonna get it!

Now duck down
and try to act
like an anemone.

Before you know it,
we'll be looting
to our heart's content.

Ha ha ha!
I love looting.
I love looting.

This is it.

The sea monster's cave.

It's d-darker
than octopus ink in there.

You're absolutely
right, flounder.

There's no way
we can--

If you're going in the cave,
I'll be a big help.

A lanternfish!

Oh no, the whole ocean
is working against me.

Lighten up!
Things look
bright to me.

At least now we can see
what's gonna eat us.

Keep smilin'.
We'll come
shining through.

Ohh! How cute!

Yes, adorable.

You, again?

Get swimming
before I get tough.

Oh, yeah?

[Gasp] oh, no.

Don't mind him,
mr. Squid.

He's just a little crab
with a big mouth.

-Now, wait!
-See?

Well, o.k.,
But you should

Get him a muzzle
or something.

[Squid]
you're not going
down there?

Afraid so.

But a horrible
sea monster
lives down there!

Takes one
to know one.

These guys don't look
very bright. [Laughs]

Don't mind me.
I make light
of everything.

Get it?

Another door!

I sure hope it's locked.

Me, too.

Well, we've
come this far.

Let's think about this
a minute.

Then again, let's think about it
for a couple of months.

I don't like
the looks of this.

I don't like
the sound of that.

Come on! Hurry!

Flounder,
where's sebastian?

On the menu.

Oh, no!

I smell
something fishy.

Aah! It can smell you.
You're gonna get us eaten!

It's... A crab!

Ariel, come on!

Uh, i-- uh, I can't!

All right!
Where are you?

Sebastian,
stop shaking!

Hey! Hey! Stop! Stop!

You're just in time
for dinner!

Where is simon?

And please don't tell us
you had him for lunch.

I'm simon.

I'm the one
who wrote this.

In fact,
I've written hundreds.

Had this party
set up for years.

You will stay,
won't you?

Please?

Oh, you poor lonely,
uh... Monster.

We'd, uh, love to come
to your party.

Oh, goody, goody,
goody, goody.

Swim for your lives!

Come on, sebastian.

We can be his friends
for a while.

You're gonna love
my party.

Ya-hoo!

And I'm a monster chef!

I feel trapped
in this cave.

Most other cave creatures
are scared of me.

Or rude when I go out.

Great! I'll get packed!

All set!

We must wait till
triton leaves the palace.

With him out of the way,
we can loot till we drop.

Ooh! I love looting.

-[Heavy footsteps]
-it's what I do best.

Shh! Someone's coming.

[Sebastian]
"you see, your majesty,

"The sea monster
would have eaten us

If we hadn't taken
him with us."

No. He won't
believe that.

Let's see. We didn't see
him follow us home!

No, no, no, no, no.
How could you not
see this guy?

All right!

Simon, wait for us!

Sea monster!

Eek! Seaquake!

Ariel!

What under the sea
is going on?

Daddy, this is simon,
our houseguest...

Or at least
the bottom half of him.

Hmm! Another of your
stray pets, ariel?

No, he has a home.

He just doesn't
have any friends.

Oh, i-- I see.

How ya doing,
kingy?

The name's simon.
Pleased to meet you.

Heard a lot
about you.

I hear you're
the boss merman,

The big fish,
the head conchshell,

The top sea cucumber,
the main mackerel.

[Whispers]
I can't imagine why
he hasn't any friends.

That's why he needs us
to play with.

Very well, but remember,
I'm very busy,

So try
to play... Quietly.

You throw it like this.

Oh, boy!
Let me try! Let me try!

Gimme, gimme, gimme!

Simon,
you lost our
sand dollar.

Oh, it's o.k.

There are plenty
of sand dollars
in the sea.

That's why I don't
have any friends.

I always break
their toys...

[Crying]
or lose them!

I thought a house guest

Was supposed to sleep
in the house.

You don't fit
in the palace, let alone
any of the guest rooms.

We'll have lots
of fun tomorrow.

Big fun!

But your father
doesn't like me.

He's doing his best.

But as a good guest,
you should do your best
to make him happy.

You can curl up in
the giant sea anemones.

-Good night.
-Good night, ariel.

Be a good guest...

How could I make
the king happy?

[Gasps] I know!

Retreat! Retreat!

Oh, no.

This had better
be a nightmare.

Shh, simon.

I'm only trying
to be a good guest.

Did you like my serenade?

Simon was just saying
good night, daddy.

Good night,
your royalness!

Sleep tight, don't let
the water bugs bite!

Uh, yes.
Good night, simon.

He won't make
any more noise, daddy.

I'll believe it
when I don't hear it.

I learned
a morning exercise.

Come on, everybody!

Join in!

What is going on?

Simon, please stop.

I knew it!
I'm such a loser!

A total wash out!

The scum
of the ocean floor!

Everybody hates me!

Daddy, can I go
bring him back?

No, I'll do it.

It's my fault
our guest was insulted.

Now is our chance!
Attack! Destroy!

Hey, I just came along
for the looting.

O.k., Loot then, loot!

Surrender!
Your king is gone.

And so is his trident.

Your sea monster friend
is gone as well.

[Triton]
time to turn tail,
fellows.

Uh, I think I'll
turn them hot pink.

Therefore,
I deem you, simon,

A friend of atlantica,

And you are welcome
here anytime.

See, simon,
you can make friends.

Yeah...

Yeah, yeah!

I'm going to make friends
with every creature

In the seven seas.

I guess I better
get started, huh?

Thanks for
everything, ariel.

Thanks, kingy!

Ta-ta!

-Bye-bye, simon!
See you real soon.
-Bye, simon. See you!

Hi, how are you?

Nice to meet you. Howdy!

Hey, come here.
Shake my hand.

How you doing?
Hey, nice to see ya.

Nice day!

Hi, how are you?
Nice to meet you.

Hello there. Howdy!
