01x12 - Beached

Post by bunniefuu »

There you are.

I hate salt water, flo.

It burns my nose.

Stop your whining, ebb.

Everyone in fresh water

Knows we're
dirty, rotten,
stinking crooks.

Yeah. We gotta give
the folks in salt water

The chance to be
robbed by us.

I'm so excited
I couldn't sleep
all night long.

Do these shells
go with this tiara?

No. Stay
with the scallops.

Where's my lipstick?

-I haven't seen it.
-Who took my brush?

I'm always losing thing--
oh, there's my lipstick.

I was so excited
I couldn't sleep
all night long.

Hurry up, girls.

We leave for the carnival
of tides on the tide.

And the tide is going
to the carnival without us.

But I haven't got
a thing to wear.

Who does?

Oh, crustaceans just
don't understand.

Well, I understand
the king made me
royal mermaid mover,

So get moving!

-Stop it!
-Hey, get your claws off.

-Cut it out!
-Anyone seen
my new hair comb?

-Nope.
-Uh-uh.

-Haven't seen it.
-Your hair is fine, arista.

Let's go!

Not without
my hair comb,
sebastian.

Girls, let's go!

Aquata-- check.
Alana-- check.

Arista-- check.
Attina-- check.

Adella-- check.
Andrina-- check.

Ariel...

Ariel?

Ariel!

-What?
-[Screams]

Ariel, have you
forgotten we're leaving?

Let me rephrase that.

We should have
already left

For the carnival
of tides.

Sorry, sebastian.
I was exploring
and lost track of time.

Flounder, urchin, and I
had so much fun.

Just tell me
you're ready to go.

Please? Humor me.

I guess I am.

Oh, thank goodness.

[Sebastian]
I thought I'd never
get you girls to--

Ow! Why did
you do that?

This is
my hair comb.

I just found it.

I lost it.

Wait a second. Ladies,
ladies, it don't matter
whose comb it is.

What's important
is leaving.

She's always
taking my things.

Who'd want them?

What's that
supposed to mean?

You figure it out.

Oh, it's too perfect.

The entire court
is about to leave
the palace unguarded.

Why, any kind
of low-life sea scum

Could just crawl in there
and take the royal
treasure.

Couldn't we, dear?

Get down!

Why do you need
a hair comb?

You'd probably
just lose it

On one of your
silly adventures.

My adventures
are not silly.

Yes, they are,
and this hair comb

Is mine, mine,
mine, mine, mine!

Oh, father.

Ahh, your majesty...

Ready to go
to the carnival of tides?

Hi, daddy.

-Ariel took my--
-i did not!

-Did too!
-Did not!

-Did too!
-Enough!

Is this any way
for merprincesses to behave?

It most certainly is not.

I warned you
the last time--

One more argument,
you two would be beached.

You mean, we can't go
to the carnival?

Oh no. Your majesty,
don't do that.

It's done!

Bu-bu-bu-but...

But, your majesty,

They won't argue again.

[Ariel]
this is all your fault!

Is not!

-Is, too!
-Is not!

-Is, too!
-Oh!

I'm never speaking
to you again, ariel.

Come in.

Urchin! Flounder!

Shouldn't you two be on your way
to the carnival by now?

We couldn't go
without saying
goodbye to you, ariel.

Yeah, and don't feel bad.

When we get back,
we'll tell you every
fun-packed detail--

Like riding on
the herring-go-round,

Zooming around
on the whaler-coaster.

Cruisin' in the bumper clams.

Sorry.

I'm so sad you're
not going, ariel.

Yeah. Me, too,
flounder.

Maybe I just won't go.

No, flounder, go. Go.

O.k., But I won't
have any fun.

I promise.

We know, we know--
get moving.

I don' care
if you move,

Or if you don't move,

'Cause now I'm not going
to the carnival, neither.

I'm so excited!

Finally! I thought they
weren't going to leave
until next year's carnival.

Why don't we
go to the carnival, flo?

'Cause we're robbing
the palace, dear.

Oh, right.
Right, right.

Hmm, how we
gonna get in,
cutie tooth?

Oh, perfect!

Sorry daddy made you stay
to look after us.

Who needs a carnival

With you and arista
around for entertainment?

Out of the way, mermaid.

I thought
we weren't speaking.

You stop speaking first.

Fine.

Fine.

Arista,
this is silly.

We can't not speak
to each other

For the rest of--

What?

Gators!

Big ones, too.

What do we do, sebastian?

Be right back.

Uhh! When
this is over,

You're going
on a diet, dear.

I can't help it,
darling.

I'm a bottom dweller.

Plankton pate?

They're robbers, ariel,
not dinner guests.

Plankton pate attracts
snapping clams.

You know how they love it.

Hey!

It's plankton pate!

Good thing there's
no snapping clams
around.

Oh, clams!
Snapping clams!

Ha ha!
You did it!

You did it!

Actually,
the clams did it.

It don't matter
who did it.

It got done.

You know, I could
come up with great ideas too,

If somebody else didn't
always jump in first.

Are we speaking?

I couldn't say.

You girls!

Them gators are
gonna be back for sure.

I wish father
were here.

One of us has
to go get him.

Neither one of you
are going out there
with gators hanging around.

You mean...
You'll go?

Well, i... Huh?

How brave of you,
sebastian.

Brave?

Oh. Oh, that.

It's nothing,

Nothing at all.

Takes more than
a couple gators

To scare old sebastian...

Gators, I might add,

Who are very fond
of crab meat.

If those gators come back,
we'd better be ready.

Don't worry.

We can swim.
And they can't.

But they can swim,

And we can't,
lizard love.

Uh-huh. That's why I swiped this
from the humans, funny fangs.

Humans catch thousands
of fish with these.

It oughta work
on mermaids, ebb.

Hey! You caught somethin'
already, flo.

Lemme go, you--

The king's gonna
hear of this.

You're gonna
be sorry.

No.

You're going
to be sorry.

There you are, flounder.
Having a good time?

No. I promised ariel

I wouldn't have fun,
and I'm not.

Oh, come on.
She won't mind.

Look what
I won for her.

Wow, a guppy doll.

A coral fan?

Cool! Fin puppets!

Whoops! I'm having fun.

Somebody stop me.

Nobody has to stop me
from having fun,

Because I'm not.

Did you promise ariel,
too, your majesty?

No, but I made a promise
her mother,

A promise
that I would raise
the girls properly.

So how's it workin' out?

Let's just swim away
and let them have
the royal treasure.

Try to look at this
as... An adventure.

I've always wanted to go
on one of your adventures,

But... You never invite me.

Arista, I had no idea
you felt that way.

Why didn't you tell me?

I didn't think
you liked me.

I didn't think
you liked me.

So, got any ideas?

I sure do. C'mon.

We use the crab
as mermaid bait.

Once they're out
of the palace,

We move in
like rude relatives.

Hey, mermaids!

Your plankton pate
was most amusing.

Tasted good, too.

But we prefer
crab pate.

Oh, mon.

Mermaids,
come on down!

No, ariel, arista!

Stay in the palace.

[Ebb]
they aren't moving, flo.

Hang on to
the crab, ebb.

I'm going to do some
second-story fishing.

Look out, girls!
One of the gators is--

Uhh! I got 'em!

I got 'em!

They weigh more
than you do, ebb.

Thanks, flo.

Psst!

Let go
of the net, flo!

May I have
the crab, please?

What makes you think
I'm gonna let go of this crab?

Thank you.

Oh, tail! Sore tail!

Another good reason for
not having a tail, mon.

That was quick thinking,
ladies.

Now, I better look
after the royal jewels.

Sebastian, no!

What was that?

A gator trap.

We set them
all over the place.

The blowfish
was arista's idea.

But you came up
with how to set it up.

But it was really your idea.

Isn't that nice,

You two getting
along so well?

But next time,

Could you warn us crabs
about your gator traps?

You want that freshwater,
algae-covered dream cave

We've always
talked about,

Don't you, swamp sweetie?

Yeah.

Our down payment's right
behind those walls,
snookums.

Yeah.

What are we going
to do about it, baby?

Maybe we should
try coming at them
from two sides?

Good! But it will be
much scarier

If we wait until dark.

Gee, why would we want
to scare ourselves?

Not scary for us, ebby.

Scary for them.

Oh, right,
right, right. Yeah.

Hi, daddy.

Look at me, father.

Ariel and arista
would have loved
the carnival.

It's not too late.

You wanna go back
and get 'em?

Hmm, no. I can't
let them think

Their father's gone soft.

We'll just keep
having fun without them.

[Ebb] lemme see if
I got it right, mud puppy.

You come down
through the roof,

And I tunnel
underneath the wall.

Right here,
right under there,
not by the clams.

But right under there.
No clams around here.

We'll do it
underneath here.

And you come over the top
from the roof,

And I will...

Ebb, dear,
would you just dig?

I made it.

Hutma, hutma, jumbo.

Come on.
Hutma, hutma. Move!

All right. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Uhh!

Sea slug slime!

-Way to go!
-We did it.

Not so fast,
little fishies!

We bottom dwellers know
how to bounce back.

All right, you win.
We'll leave.

Y-yes, please.

Take the royal treasure.

Really, it's all yours.

Ah, yes!

♪ Pearls ♪

♪ Shiny, shiny ♪

Stick around while
I get the jewels. Ahh!

Oh, feet! Oh, poor feet!

Owie-owie feet!
Oh, feet! Oh!

What's that?

Our secret weapon.

Humans always use these
all the time,

So they must work,
whatever they are.

They're coming.

Oh, ariel, can I help?

Sure.

Come on, girls.

-Strike!
-Hmm?

It just felt like
the right thing to say.

I felt bad you were
missing the carnival,

But it seems
you had one of your own.

You don't understand, daddy.

Gators
tried to steal
the treasure.

Gators?

Your majesty, you should
have seen the girls.

They were
having so much fun

Catching them gators,

You'd think
they were friends
or something.

So when's our
next adventure,
ariel?

Your next adventure

Will be cleaning up
the palace.

As soon as you get back
from the carnival.

You're the greatest,
daddy.

Thank you, father.

Come on, ariel!

Last one to
the carnival's a crab!
